The Valley

Amaeda Pleasant awoke to the roosters being obnoxious. The townspeople often paid her in whatever they had. Most of the time it was money or herbs, but sometimes she was paid in livestock meat or in the more rare occasions, livestock itself. The rooster and chickens were the only case of that so far and she impressed upon not being paid with animals. Food was fine, but if she had to deal with one more animal...

As she pulled her face from her desk, a leaf fell from her cheek, and landed softly on her lap. Right, she'd been trying to set up spells for scanning where Thatch had vanished not that long ago. She rose from her seat and quickly moved everything to its hiding spot. Her hiding spots were mostly just moving them onto higher shelves and hoping that no one knew what they did. Thank goodness no one had yet, but she needed to tend to the chickens before the rooster busted in through her window again.

She hated animals. However, she didn't have the stomach to behead the beasts so she took care of them instead. She grabbed her bag of birdseed and exited the store, preparing to walk around to feed the demon poultry. The rooster, which she called Buck out of sheer amusement, tried to peck at her feet.

"Buck, no. I'll kick you this time I swear," Amaeda threatened as she crossed the small area to the trough to pour the birdseed in. "Ugh, why couldn't you two have been lovebirds or parrots. You would have been less annoying."

Buck was strangely insistent this morning, abandoning the birdseed for continuing to peck Amaeda's ankles.

"Stop! That hurts you chicken prince!" Amaeda yelled, throwing a handful of seed at him. She often wondered if he was cursed to be this way, but she didn't have much headway, so all she had was that the stupid bird was smarter than she'd prefer her eventual dinner to be. He seemed to abandon his task and retreated back by the area where Amelia was resting. The hen herself was always sickly, and even though Amaeda ensured that she got better, Amelia the hen was slow and seemed to have issues being mobile. Buck apparently was her defense against their 'cruel' owner. Amaeda wished she could transmute the pair into something more easily taken care of, but so far she was also striking out at that.

Of course it didn't help that even her chickens had more of a life than she did. Amaeda sighed and crossed back to shut the gate and start with her morning errands. She'd have to go into the forest to find certain herbs and also check the market for anything she could use. Since it was still obscenely early -Buck apparently was the type to yell at the sun when it came up- Amaeda opted to go to the forest.

Sorry, I'm not gonna be very active. I had planned to edit Salib's sheet but I got struck down with sickness. Hopefully I'll be better soon, but man it doesn't feel like it's gonna get better soon.

@Wade Wilson

That will work.

"Yes, I am just that good. Never doubt it."
OC: Sharrkan, MAGI: The Labyrinth of Magic

Username:
RainDash

Name:
Karesh "Rabbit" Salib

Age:
21

Gender:
Male

Class:
Thief

Rank:
Member

House:
Carnesale -> Aseryo

Weapons:
A pair of steel daggers and a couple throwing knives. The latter are mostly used to cut purses.

Appearance:

He wears two gold earrings; one in each of his ears. He usually wears green, to match his eyes. While his clothes aren't in bad condition, they have seen a lot of wear just because of his profession.

Personality:
Cocky and sarcastic. Karesh was hired because he's good at what he does and he knows it. He is confident in his abilities, but yet he doesn't boast about them a lot in bars. He tends to keep that he's a thief to himself unless he trusts the people he tells completely. Of course, by being secretive, he can move a lot easier in a crowd and avoid being caught. At first glance, most people just assume he's a confident pirate, but he's pretty plain in appearance and polite but not memorable. To friends and enemies he's wily and the most sarcastic person they've ever met. Or they would, if he had any friends or enemies. Karesh plays dumb most of the time, asking things to be explained to him in small words, but he's fairly intelligent on his own. He's made it this far on his own wits and charm.

Short Biography:
Karesh grew up without parents on the streets of Zuswil. Life in Zuswil was always excitng, and despite the amount of homeless children on the street, Karesh was always on his own. He was mostly in for small time thievery, taking food from street vendors and taking a few coins off of merchant's belts. At ten years old, he tried to do something bigger. He broke into a home and took everything of value. It wasn't well secured, but it was a big score for the young Karesh. It moved him slightly out of poverty and into a place where he no longer needed to steal food to survive.

He liked stealing too much. He honed his talents, and as a few more months passed, a band of thieves learned of the rash of robberies where nothing was left and it appeared that no one had entered the building. They set up an initiation for Karesh and waited for the young thief to show his face. They nearly didn't catch him, but thankfully they had laid traps for him inside the home. They offered him a place in their band and he readily accepted the offer.

As the years started to go by, people slowly became more and more jealous of the abilities of the young Karesh. One man in particular, Saren Narme, started to hatch a plan to try and sabotage Karesh's rise to infamy in the underworld. The job was to steal from the Great House Carnesale and not get caught. It required two people to get into the vault, and once the pair of them were inside, Saren sealed Karesh inside the vault and alerted the guard to his presence. Karesh accepted his fate and Saren escaped.

However, instead of being put to the axe, Karesh was offered the job of 'professional thief' by the House of Carnesale and told that he would live by the command of Carnesale and if he stole from them his life would be forfeit. Karesh, without much of a choice, accepted the offer. As the conflicts between Aseryo and Tosen continued, Carnesale decided that sending Karesh to the Lord of Aseryo would gain them standing. So far, he's mostly enjoyed annoying Ryoichi and stealing from the various places he's sent to scout.

Other:
Karesh dyes his hair white for luck. He's naturally blonde.
Karesh has a fear of water.

"A person without kindness is without power."

OC: Inigo, Fire Emblem: Awakening

Username:
RainDash

Name:
Ryoichi Aseryo

Age:
26

Gender:
Male

Class:
Lord

Rank:
Lord

House:
Aseryo

Weapons:
Broadsword

Appearance:

Personality:
Patient and kind, Ryoichi is the type of person who most people immediately find charming and sweet. Ryoichi has always believed that peace will prosper and that effort can allow it to happen. Ryoichi can be very persuasive and even sometimes intimidating. He is very good at manipulating people into doing what he wants, but tries to do it as little as possible to keep people from realizing the truth of what he has done. He works hard to keep a gentle ruler image, and it shows.

The downside is that when he gets mad, he gets mad. Ryoichi doesn't stand for lawlessness and lack of regard for life. He can be brutal to those that he deems evil and conniving to get them out of power. Ryoichi, when he has a grudge, will always double check his facts and actions, to ensure that this is the right course of action politically. However, when he cannot be sure of his choice he is insecure and frightened, and obsesses to prove that it had to be done.

Short Biography:
Ryoichi was always going to be the runner up child. His brother who would take the title of Lord, born shortly before Ryoichi, the twins' fates were decided upon one factor. Their hair color. Ryoichi had been gifted with a platinum white hair color, while his brother Ryouichi was born with black hair. The foreign hair color of Ryoichi caused him to be publicly announced as dead while his brother was named heir. The twins, except for their hair color, were identical and sometimes couldn't be told apart when Ryoichi was older. It was decided then and there that Ryoichi was to be the body double for Ryouichi, and so the two brothers, inseparable when in the castle, grew up together on courses on etiquette and everything you would need to learn to be a Lord. Thus Ryoichi would have a slight difference in his name's spelling so he wouldn't give away the ill omen that he was. Until that point he had been known as 'brother' or 'son' and had no name.

The secret of House Aseryo was kept secret through any means necessary. Including disallowing Ryoichi to ever have a window or curtain open in his room or whatever room he was in, dying his hair black, and keeping him on the grounds inside the castle. This led to a somewhat lonely childhood, but it was alleviated by the fact that he and Ryouichi we close. The two brothers were inseparable troublemakers, but despite the many reasons that the ten year old Ryoichi might have had a reason to be upset with his parents, he never acted out without Ryouichi by his side.

That all changed when Ryouichi and Ryoichi turned fifteen and Ryouichi was sent out on fighting missions and when he returned, Ryoichi was sent on risky diplomatic missions. Ryoichi secured important allies and played his hand at being a debonair mystery man while his brother was out on the field keeping the dominion safe from its enemies. Things worked smoothly, and they communicated through letters all while each worked to ensure that everything would be fine.

At twenty three, Ryou, as he was called by Ryoichi, was engaged to a wife and was set to all but retire Ryoichi. The plan was to wait a bit longer and then tell the populace the truth about the twins, then allow Ryoichi to live his own life and be at peace. The Tosen ruined that plan. His parents were killed by an accident following a small skirmish between the Tosen and the Aseryo which caused Ryou to ascend to the throne quicker than planned. The terror felt by the alliance promised that any more chaos would ensure the destruction of the House.

Shortly after Ryoichi volunteered to help from the shadows, and pose as his brother when needed, Ryouichi was killed. It was sneak attack by Tosen as he was returning from his appointment as Lord of the House. Ryou never saw it coming, and soon it was Ryoichi who was left to pick up the pieces. He took over his brother's role completely, using a version of the truth, Ryoichi claimed that it was his body double, his twin brother, who had died in the attack with Ryoichi's wife. Ryoichi had been sent home early due to concerns about the demon attacks.

This version of the truth worked, and Ryoichi was left with a grave and more power than he'd ever wanted or needed. He vowed to run the House better than their parents and slowly allowed himself to show his true hair color, claiming it as a sign of the Gods that he was meant to rule. Since then he has worked to repair relations with House Tosen to provide a unified front for the war on the demons.

Other:
Ryoichi enjoys gardening.
Ryoichi still has traces of dye still in his hair.

Can your character start as a promoted unit?

@j8cob

You cannot.

@Ambra

@Wade Wilson since an Assassin is a promoted class, no they can't.
