Name: Oromis

Nationality: He is Etruscan, by all appearances, but exactly where he comes from is unknown.

Occupation: Immortal god-king.

Religion: Oromis doesn't believe in a deity higher than himself.

Appearance and Personality:

Oromis appears to be a man in his early 30s, a foot taller than most other men, with coal black hair and burning green eyes. He is extremely charismatic, and has an irresistible charm about him; he's been known to make foes into friends just by talking to them. Surprisingly for a man supposed to be a walking god, he smiles easily, and is quite laid back. But just as his merriment is famous, so is his temperament; when angered, his wroth is frightening to behold, particularly as he can set people on fire.

Biography: Oromis's origin is shrouded in mystery, even to himself. According to his own explanation, he lived many lives for millennia, even serving the Empire as a general at one time. He never truly affected the course of history, however, until his rebellion in 3405, which saw the crushing defeat of the Tolosi, at the cost of his own life.

His second attempt at changing the world hardly went any better. At first, everything went well; The puissant Mardoch, duke of Galenave, declared him the one true Oromis, and he gathered a large following. Unfortunately, the Prophet in Tolos wasn't keen on relinquishing his temporal powers, so he declared Oromis an imposter. The civil war that ensued saw the assassination of Oromis, the defeat of the Mardochians, and their ultimate exile to the Hamrock Isles.

His return in the year 3650 was as unexpected as it was sudden. Peacefully taking power over the isles from the Mardochains who ruled it, he has announced to the world his return by crowning himself Emperor of Tverios. His hungry gaze is set over the entire world, and he will take what he desires.

Magical Artifact(s): Oromis carries the magical sword Reingunger, which sets itself on fire depending on the emotions of the wielder.

Motivation: To unite the world, and end the killing of man by man. He desires above all a just world, where no criminals can hide behind power and authority.

Name: Selena Jalek

Nationality: The Hamrock Isles, and proud of it.

Occupation: Scout, tracker, night/close combat fighter.

Religion: Oromism. But a skewed slant of it. She views Oromis of definitely holy origins, she just doubts his claims to Godhood. If someone was truly immortal, then why does he keep dying? But in absence of any more conclusive proof, she deigns to worship Oromis.

Appearance and Personality:

Selena is serious, down-to-earth, and all-around, a great soldier. However, she's an even better person. Congenial, enjoyable to be around, and overall, nice, she is well-known among her group, the so-called Night Hunters, what little Special Forces the Hamrock Isles have. However, she is also very sarcastic, but she always makes the person on the butt end of the joke feel better about it at the end of it all.

She has brown hair, and lovely green eyes. Her soft, tanned skin, is complimented by freckles on her cheeks, and long, beautiful eyelashes. Not considered beautiful in the classical sense, she is still very attractive for a military woman. She is short, but don't let her stature fool you. She is very strong and agile, able to best quite a few skilled warriors in one-on-one combat.

Biography: Raised on the Hamrock Isles, from her youth, Selena wanted nothing more than to join the military, to protect her home from the outside world, and stay ready for Oromis. However, all she ever has had to do was fend off various pirates, bandits, and the occasional raiding party. When Oromis was resurrected, she was the one who did some information gathering, the one who confirmed that he was the real deal. Still doesn't mean that she'll totally believe in an immortal who died TWO TIMES.

Magical Artefact(s): Selena received a necklace, simple, made of brass, and unassuming, except when it glows green. It allows the wielder to spot any track, no matter how hidden, nor how old, as long as the wielder is looking for it. You cannot pick up residual tracks with it, but you do not need to know the specifics about the target being tracked. This ability works only twice a day, and activates by rubbing the stone with your thumb and index finger.

The necklace is the gift, handed down from Night Hunter leader to Night Hunter leader. When Selena attained the honor of becoming leader, she received it. However, it was also a final test of her ability before she was able to use it, forcing her to fight through the entirety of the upper echelons of the Night hunters. After she got it, by guile and strength, she was proven to be a worthy leader.

Motivation: Selena wishes for nothing more than to protect her home. Sure, it's dull, and sure, the people there kinda smell, but they're good people, nonetheless, and the beer is great. She will follow Oromis, because of his vision for the world, one united, free of war and strife.

Npcs:
Gramorn Kellantara- The elite leader of the Messenger Corps of the Night Hunters, who always wears a black fox mask under his hood.

Maximus 'Smudge' Selfidge- The oldest Night Hunter alive, he is in charge of training recruits.

"I can hear the drums now, y'know? Nice an' loud. There's killin' ter be done an' that's a fact."

-Quote attributed to Red Myra

Name: Myranda "Myra" Tavellan [Meer-an-duh Tuh-vell-en], also known as "Red Myra"

Race: Elf

Age: 216 years old

Nationality: Whitestone Village, The Empire of Tolos

Occupation: Conscript, bandit, and former captain of the White Hands mercenary company

Religion: While she claims to worship the Tolosi gods, nobody has actually seen Myranda pray.





Magical Artifacts: None

Motivation: Myranda seems to be consumed by her desire to destroy the two men who betrayed her: Clan Lord Alexandros Miridon, her most recent and most treacherous employer, and Pajaan "Goldhand" Farimi, her former lover and second-in-command. Since these turncoats both serve the Etruscan League, Myra figured joining Oromis' forces meant she'd have plenty of opportunities to deal with them. It was also better than the alternative, which was death by hanging. At any rate, once she kills these two traitors Myranda supposedly plans to regain control of the White Hands and lead them to victory alongside the God-King's other allies. The truth is much simpler, however. Myranda wants to die a glorious death in battle because the last one hundred years have shown her the awful truth. She's become addicted to killing. She cannot stop. Myranda knows the chances of dying while in Oromis' service are quite good. In truth, she's counting on it.

Name: Silaes Attor

Nationality: The Principality of Jadis

Occupation: Former high-ranking spymaster and assassin of the Amethyst Cartell

Religion: Silaes worships wealth above all else, but if he sees a profit in it he can pretend to believe any faith.





Magical Artefact(s): Upon reaching a high rank within the Amethyst Cartell, Silaes was granted an artifact as a symbol of his status and import within the Cartel. However, beyond the function of status symbol, the silver goblet he possesses serves only one other purpose: to heat the drink within it to the desired temperature. Silaes often enjoys hot tea on the go in a way few others can, but aside from that his goblet awards him no other advantage.

Motivation: Silaes dreams of accumulating enough wealth to retire to a secluded estate in which he can have as much food, wine, and women as he could possibly desire delivered to him, so that he would never have to leave his land again. A dream he nearly had accomplished before his exile.

Name: Norman Voldemaras

Nationality: Samni

Occupation: Mardochian General

Religion: Despite being raised in a strict Shamanistic household, Norman rejected the fundamentals of Shamanism in his early teens. In the return of Oromis, Norman “converted” to Oromism as a way of expressing his undying loyalty to the God-emperor. However, in private, he does not follow any major religion. Instead he believes that Oromis, while powerful, is not a God, and the true divine beings of the world have yet to reveal themselves.





Motivation: Norman seeks to write his name into history as the finest strategist and leader beside Oromis himself. This desire drives him more than any other, and in many ways consumes him.
