I have no problem with a younger brother. Maybe one that had died and my character will feel partially responsible, so he would keep a watchful eye over him. Bernard (my character) would've welcomed his deceased brother's son regardless of his legitimacy.

@Hannibal

Thank you for your ideas and help! That sounds good to me. Bernard seems like a good guy already.

Edwin Hyland

---

---

_{"An important surname will only get you so far in Lhivoria."}

---

---

◾ Name:

Edwin Rodrik Hyland
Ed - A nickname that his siblings have landed him with, and one that is reserved for family and friends.

◾ Age:

22

◾ Gender:

Male

◾ Sexuality:

Heterosexual

◾ Origins:

Mount Promonon

◾ Residence:

Mount Promonon, at the Hyland's Keep

---

---

◾ Loyal ◾ Manipulative ◾ Intelligent ◾ Overly Ambitious ◾

◾ Personality:

When his parents boast about Edwin, they go on about what a great young man he is, loyal and quick as a whip. They discuss how he'd never betray anyone, his family or his friends, and how he's someone who's bound by his word, a truly admirable thing in their eyes. And his brains, oh well his brains are the pride and joy of his family. He's got quite the intellect, and when paired with his silver tongue, he's quite the diplomat. He truly is a native to the mountains, an aspiring philosopher who's known for holding intelligent conversations with some of the greatest minds in Lhivoria.

But in hushed tones, people murmur about how the young Hyland heir has a dark side. How his desire for power leads him to disregard other people's feelings. They whisper about how his charisma makes him quite the manipulator, and while he may be bound by his word, he's not one to give it out easily. His intelligence and upbringing as a noble has made him slightly arrogant, though some may find this more endearing than annoying.

◾ Biography:

Edwin Hyland was born in the middle of winter, when the moon was at it's peak. In the morning, his birth was heralded around Mount Promonon and he was celebrated before he knew how important he was. As a young child, he was paraded around court, meeting noble lords and ladies, and learning the intricate workings of politics. Quite a lot for a boy to take in, but such are the responsibilities of an heir.

As he grew older, he grew into quite the picture perfect heir. Handsome, intelligent, charismatic, and a skilled swordsman, his parents couldn't have been prouder of him. But Edwin did not have his sights set on ruling over only Hyland lands. As he grew into his teens and became an adult, he began to question what gave the Ainsworths their right to rule? Why had the gods chosen them? Why shouldn't the Hylands sit on the throne? Of course, he kept such thoughts to himself, but has long been considering ways to rise to power, and gain the recognition for the Hylands that he thinks they deserve.

Boop :)

[MissCapnCrunch]

@smarty0114

Lovely :) I STILL like him haha <3

Just the family stuff as most will be editing as we go, and you're good.

[smarty0114]

@MissCapnCrunch Yay! I'll move him over when I get the chance, doing homework right now, but I wanted to get him solidified before someone snatched my spot :) I'll probably make at least one more character who isn't a Hyland, but probably a servant :)

@BlackPanther *waves furiously back*

[MissCapnCrunch]

@smarty0114

Good luck on your homework! GET IT DONE!
Sounds good to me ^^ Take your time. The beginning of this will be like the last-

So there is definitely time to introduce characters as time goes.

I also have some new ideas and thoughts mwhaha.

[Inertia]

@MissCapnCrunch

Ay writing up a post, but would it be fine if I made mine a sort of servant that is a hunter?

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Inertia

Hmmmm. I'll allow it!
Gotta live in the area of course, serve the Hyland House.

I might even use you for an idea, if you're up for it ;)

[Inertia]

Melodias

---

---

_{Sometimes the only thing I can trust is the bow between my hands and the arrow that flies true.}

---

---

◾ Name:

Melodias Aristoxenus Vernimmen

◾ Age:

27

◾ Gender:

Male

◾ Sexuality:

Heterosexual

◾ Origins:

Vaernin Forests

◾ Residence:

Hyland's Keep

---

---

◾ Amiable ◾ Lonesome ◾ Tactical ◾ Impudent ◾

◾ Personality:

Melodias is one to act without tact, he does not give proper respect to people clearly above him unless he deems them worthy of doing so. This means that he often, and confidently speaks his mind during times when he shouldn't and will give his blunt and very honest opinion. Aside from that, he was gifted with a keen mind for strategies and tactics, easily planning and strategizing proficient plans with contingencies.

Every since youth he has steeled his mind in order to make up for his low birth, he has sharpened his mind by reading and simply listening to people around him, and since then he has a thick skin, not letting people get to him easily. Even when he is made fun of and looked down upon he can usually get the better of them through cunning conversation. Other than that he has a certain penchant for Archery, from youth he has honed his skill in the forests, up to the point where he has notable accuracy, along with this he can also competently track animals.

Because of his past he is also cynical towards those of high birth.

◾ Role & Career:

Hunter

◾ Hobbies & Interests:

-Fletching (statuettes or arrows)
-War Strategy
-Reading
-Archery

◾ Likes & Dislikes:

+The silence and still calm of forests
+Archery competitions
+Mapping of areas
+Watching tournaments

-Killing animals for sport, rather than necessity
-Arrogant and condescending nobles
-Large crowds
-Inept hunters
-Politics

◾ Other:

-Some knowledge of using daggers as a last resort
-His bow was passed down to him from his father

---

---

◾ Family Members:

Both parents dead, ruled as accident.

◾ Biography:

Melodias was born under two parents, both of whom were low birth. They lived and toiled a relatively normal life to try and get by. At his youth he inherited his fascination and interest with Archery from his Father, and his love of books from his Mother, whom had stacks upon stacks of books. It was fine childhood, one that he was content with. Until one day, where his father accidentally crossed a noble for unknown reasons. They thought it was fine and nothing would come of it, until an accident occured where both lose their life.

It was unknown if it was the work of the nobles or not, but the details around it were very dubious and questionable, with everything aligning up too perfectly for mere chance. At that point Melodias didn't do anything, since he was a child who didn't know any better, but as he came off age, everything started to click. However he still could not do anything because of his status. Through this, he developed his dislike off nobles. Even if they gave their fake and obligatory condolences, and through gritted teeth he reluctantly accepted them, but he swears he could hear their laughter as they slunk back into their homes.

Today he works under the Hyland family as one of their hunters.

[MissCapnCrunch]

◾Personality:
Every move Deavote makes has been contemplated and thought out. This is because she believes that everyone, especially her former family members, are out to get her.

◾Family Members
Tiras Sky

◾Biography
Deavote was born Catalon Hyland, to the Lord of Hyland's cousin, Eripe Hyland. During her young age, Eripe was Grand Caretaker of Mount Promonon, so they lived in the castle with her uncle and his family. During this time, she got into many fights, arguments, and the like with just about all the other children in a five mile radius. This slowly grew on her, and by 14 she vehemently hated her stance in life. A traveling band of preachers had come from a nearby monastery, and she begged her father to let her escape those dreaded relatives. Of course, he refused. So instead she ran away on her own. At the monastery, she changed her name to Deavote, after the Virtuo Deavote, who famously rejected all temptations and thus ascended to a higher state of wisdom. She requested to join their ranks in the monastery, and in doing so, was stripped of her family name, status, and all personal belongings, something she was perfectly fine with.

(DONE! In case anyone is confused, a Virtuo is a Saint and a Provost is a monk/nun)
