Keeping an RP alive is as much the players' responsibility as it is the GM's.

The most important period in an RP's life is when the responses start to slow after the initial honeymoon phase. This is THE deciding time for whether or not an RP dies.

ℙersonal 𝕀nformation
Name:  Elise Dalris
House:  Dalris (Heir)
Age:  22
Race:  Human (Mageborn)
Gender:  Female
Appearance:  Tall and elegant, Elise tends to tower over most other women at 5'11 (180cm). Her most notable feature is her dark hair, which is dangerously close to floor-length. As an heir of House Dalris, it's rare that she has free time, but when she does go out, she puts a real effort into her appearance. Always dressed to the nines with more things that sparkle than the night sky.

𝕊o 𝕆n & 𝕊o 𝔽orth
Reputation:  Despite the domain of her house being information, she doesn't come off as the most intelligent person. Totally airheaded and with little to no social awareness. Still, a daughter of the information house is one to be wary of. Let anything slip around her and it'll probably end up deep in the archives of House Dalris. It really does seem like everything she does revolves around her house.

Alignment:  Money. Elise acts only within the interests of her house. They have no substantial losses or gains from choosing either side. If they had to pick, they would most likely remain faithful to the South. If the North were to pitch a good enough deal, however...

Skills: Experienced in diplomacy.
Has an excellent memory - but she mainly uses it to remember gossip and incriminating information. It's an enjoyable pastime in House Dalris.
Knows all fourteen ways to politely hold a teacup.


Backstory:  The only heir of House Dalris, growing up with parents that always had their hands full. She was mainly educated and brought up by various servants that worked on her estate. Once she was deemed mature enough, they threw her into work as well. The constant flow of collecting information, retrieving it, and when there was nothing else to do, reorganising to make it more efficient. It never stopped.

Yet again, Elise is being sent to a diplomatic event in the place of Lord Dalris. Not an uncommon occurrence for her. These ones may just turn out to be a little more important to the others. Nothing matters in the end. As long as House Dalris remains powerful, wealthy and stable, nothing else matters.

Miscellaneous: 

𝕄agic
*if your character does not have magic, please leave this blank or remove this section
Gate:  Light - but not the same as the initial gate. Instead of creating light, Elise's gate allows her to 'manipulate' light by using her magic to reflect, recolour, brighten or dim the light. 
Flow:  Average
Favour:  High
Field:  Around 20m.

ℙersonal 𝕀nformation
Name:  Christina Young
House:  Heir to House Young
Age:  27
Race:  Human (Mageborn)
Gender:  Female ♀
Appearance:  A petite girl with short dark hair. She usually dresses in comfortable clothing, such as hoodies and t-shirts. If out in public on official business, she'll wear the official uniform of the Young tech corps. She prefers not to wear elegant dresses or fancy jewelry. An engagement ring sparkles on her left hand. She likes to show it off.

𝕊o 𝕆n & 𝕊o 𝔽orth
Reputation:  The genius heir to House Young, Christina is known for her quick mind and perceptive eyes. She has contributed greatly to the fields of artificial intelligence, electromagnetic weaponry, and transportation. She's engaged to the heir of House Reason.
Alignment:  Technologist.
Skills: 
An expert at all things mechanical. Cars, computers, you name it, she can build it and take it apart easily.
Trivial Knowledge - she can recall thousands of miscellaneous facts that may or may not be relevant.
Innovator - has designed and built numerous useful devices, such as wireless cameras, coil guns, and a pair of mechanical wings.

Backstory:  The sole heir to House Young, Christina grew up in the shadow of her mother's legacy. Reina Young had developed numerous inventions and pioneered discoveries all by the age of 25, when she married her husband and had Christina. Christina lived up to the high expectations everyone placed on her. She blazed the way forward in her time at the Young Academy of Sciences, then went on to help develop the curriculum into a more efficient and helpful program.

When she was 20, a certain heir to another House came to House Young and requested their help in making a special device. The schematics were so complicated that Reina Young herself had to be called in to work on it. Christina was there every step of the way, and made a new friend along the way. Alexander Reason and Christina Young began courting a year later, and the two remain utterly devoted to each other.

Christina has been taken on as Chief of Security at the diplomatic talks. Her mother is participating as the actual representative of House Young.
Miscellaneous:

Gate:  A strong primal gate of electricity.

𝕋echnology

Equipment: 
Tinkerer's Pack: contains everything an inventor would ever need. Wires, wrenches, circuit boards, etc.
Electronic Tablet: A device of her own design. Christina uses it to log her thoughts, play games, and take photos.
Model A32 Coiler: Another Young innovation. Christina uses her magic to power it and fire ferromagnetic rounds at near-supersonic speeds.
Portable Security Cameras: They connect wirelessly to the tablet.
Wing Set: Christina powers these mechanical wings in order to glide. Her small frame and light build helps the maneuverability as well.

Jevin Pachel
age: 50 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Pachel ❀ gate: Downward Force
height: 6'8" ❀ build: Extremely Muscular ❀ notable features: Shiniest head you ever saw
"I fear we're all getting too old for this war business..."
The lord of House Pachel has led his people well. Under his guidance, the trainging programs for Croania's soldiers have been optimized down to a T. The man himself is no slouch at combat, using his gate to place his enemies under intense pressure to slow and hinder their movements. While he was once a terror, his age seems to have finally caught up with him, and he no longer leaves the house as much as he once did.

House Pachel is notoriously conservative in their views towards the North. However, the views of Jevin Pachel himself have softened significantly in the past few years. Pachel will be attending the talks. His wife and children remain at home.
Esmeralda Nols
age: 33 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: House Nols ❀ gate: Minor Light Generation
height: 5'8" ❀ build: Average ❀ notable features: 
"It's all a matter of give and take."
Lady Nols has a remarkable head for numbers and math. She's always ready to tell you exactly why you're wrong about your statistics, and how hers are much, much better. She married and had Carrey at a young age, and now seems dedicated to building her house up as much as possible for her son. Her favorite way to use her magic is to put a slightly ethereal glow about her face during negotiating.

House Nols has always served itself, even since the Unification. She will be looking to find the best deal for her and her house, but will mostly support Southern interests.
Ruel Immolis
age: 15 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Immolis ❀ gate: Ice
height: 5'5 ❀ build: Needs to Drink More Milk ❀ notable features: /"Ah... I'm so tired! I can just skip some of this paperwork, right?"
The youngest Immolis by far. Despite this, he assumed the position of Lord Immolis following his father's peaceful death a year ago. There isn't much to say about him. He's never even been seen outside of his estate. The only reason people know what he looks like is from visiting him personally.

His own motivations and ideals are unknown. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say they would be identical to that of his father, brother, and the majority of past members of House Immolis. That is - anti-technologist almost to the point of radicalism. Immolis will be making his first appearance at Harrow's Tower accompanied by his brother.
Vector Seler
age: 43 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Seler ❀ gate: Force
height: 5'9 ❀ build: Stocky ❀ notable features: Eyepatch - don't be fooled, his eye is perfectly fine.
"You know, I've even met with a Court member before!"
Lord Seler, a philandering sailor who hasn't run his own house since the day he inherited it. Instead, he goes on great adventures, exploring Teliv and making intricate maps of what he finds. Mostly nothing, considering the great divide between Croania and the other two continents. He's also been to Nolore and Ashket a fair bit, the most knowledgable of any Croanian born human. 

Vector's appearance has deteriorated over the years, but his personality has not. The man himself has returned to land to attend the talks, alongside two of his heirs. He's known as a boisterous man who loves to brag about his exploits and adventures. 
Arthur Kothlin
age: 47 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Kothlin ❀ gate: ??
height: 6'5 ❀ build: Absolute Unit ❀ notable features: /
"C'mon, let's go for another round!"
A mountain of a man, the only current member of House Kothlin. Croania's least-most eligible bachelor. He's married to his power suit and his only heir is the lamp on his bedside table. They're called 'Angeline' and 'Lampert' respectively. As a person, he's very boisterous with a larger than life character. Not in an unpleasant way. He can be very entertaining.

As a technologist lord, Kothlin will absolutely be attending the talks. They are instrumental to him and his position. Which side he'll be on should be obvious.
Reina Young
age: 52 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: House Young ❀ gate: Electricity
height: 5'4" ❀ build: Small ❀ notable features: Condescending gaze
"Please, do not touch the high-grade weapons systems. They're worth more than you are."
House Young isn't the most powerful house, but with the way Reina talks, you would certainly think it was. The scientist lord has driven forward technology and development in the North far beyond expected levels, and she makes sure that everyone she meets knows it. She has a minor rivalry with her daughter. They compete to see who can make the most innovative device in a short amount of time. Reina is up 5-3 as of the last battle.

She will be attending the talks, with the intention of gaining more funds for her house to use in the education and research sectors. She is also looking for lessened restrictions on what fields her scientists are allowed to study. Her husband, Alistair Young, and her daughter, Christina, will be attending the talks as well.











hellohellohellohellohellʜᴇɪʀs
Elise Dalris
age: 22 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: House Dalris ❀ gate: Light Manipulation
height: 5'11 ❀ build: Tall ❀ notable features: /"Oh, how awful! What unholy thing inspired you to wear that?"
The air-headed heir to House Dalris. Supposedly an expert in diplomacy. But she really isn't that intelligent. Whatever social awareness she has is smothered by condescending tones and superiority that she will not stop reminding you about. Elise is spoilt, that's for sure. She'll stop at nothing to get her own way. It's often to settle for a compromise with her, even if they often favour her more than anything.

Fanatically loyal to House Dalris, Elise will be at the talks representing everything her house is about. Money and power.
Cedric Immolis
age: 30 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Immolis ❀ gate: Mist
height: 5'7.53 ❀ build: Muscular ❀ notable features: Eyepatch over right eye"Don't come any closer. In fact, you'd do best to go far, far away."
Despite being twice Lord Immolis's age, Cedric remained an heir even after his father's death. He doesn't seem to mind. He mainly works at various divisions in House Immolis, hunting down criminals and delivering sweet, sweet justice. When the 'Mad Dog' Cedric is on your tail, you're as good as dead. (He didn't choose that name himself.)

He's fine enough to work with - good teamwork is part of the job description. As a person, he's far from the most pleasant. We'll leave it at that.
Verity Seler
age: 25 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: House Seler ❀ gate: Earthquake
height: 5'10 ❀ build: Athletic ❀ notable features: Wears her hat everywhere.
"We've heard this story before. Many times."
The eldest of the Seler heirs. Her father became Lord Seler when she was ten, then began to go on his long expeditions once she turned thirteen, leaving the house in her hands. Ever since then, he hasn't been on the continent for longer than a month at a time. While the heirs tend to run the whole thing together, Verity is as close to a sole ruler as it gets. The distaste for her father and those beastmen she feels as a result is no secret.

Verity takes everything seriously. Her own unique brand of humour is dry and mocking. She often takes matters into her own hands. It is the incompetency of other people that leads to failure. And throughout her life, she has seen an awful lot of mistakes. Why, she lives with three of them.
Veer Seler
age: 24 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Seler ❀ gate: Force
height: 6'0 ❀ build: Slender ❀ notable features: Red hair, typical of Northerners.
"You'll find I don't care much for my father's taste in women."
The second child of Vector Seler - or the second child he's recognised as an heir. Veer stands out from his family and just about anyone else due to his unusual red hair he inherited from his technologist mother. It's not recommended to mention it to him. He'll deck you. This may have contributed to the deep disgust for Northerners that Veer has developed.

Veer shares a lot with his siblings. A stern and serious personality as well as a love for the sea and sailing. There are differences. Veer's temper is much shorter than the others', though he tries to act dismissive and as if he isn't bothered by anything.
Lampert Kothlin
age: 20 ❀ gender: L ❀ affiliation: House Kothlin ❀ gate: Light
height: 1'0 ❀ build: Kothlin Brand ❀ notable features: No fingers
"💡"

(pretend the image is missing its fingers) 
The only heir to House Kothlin. Arthur's own creation, a lamp that hasn't moved from his bedside for the last 20 years. The bone part was acquired from an auction. They're not real. Probably.

Lampert is constructed from the bones of an arm and most of a hand kept together with glue and hinges, allowing it to bend. The hand is missing all of its fingers. Luckily, Kothlin's superglue will keep the light part fixated to the palm of the hand. Lampert will be remaining at home for the talks for its safety.
Christina Young
age: 27 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: House Young ❀ gate: Electricity
height: 5'2" ❀ build: smol ❀ notable features: 
"I can't just let you out of my sight, Reason."
Christina compensates for her short stature by being the smartest person in any given room. Skilled in all things electronic and mechanical, she can assemble and disassemble almost any device in a matter of minutes. Her expertise and heritage landed her an easy research position in her mother's labs. She spends most of her time in them.

While she is attending the talks, she is not going as a representative. Her mother is there. Instead, Christina will be overseeing security in the tower, as well as acting as a pseudo-arbiter outside of the negotiations room. Her knowledge and gadgets will be extremely helpful to protecting the security of the talks.
Eric Granis
age: 34 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Granis ❀ gate: Air
height: 5'11 ❀ build: Solid ❀ notable features: Appears to sparkle in the sunlight"I'm quite popular with the ladies, you know... so. What do you think?"
The eldest Granis heir, who will attending the talks. Known for being a bit of a womanizer. He may be attractive, but he's about as smooth as sandpaper. His reputation is something of a miracle. Something else he is known for is his swordsmanship, which he has the skills to back up as well. A shame that swords aren't the most practical of weaponry.

Very pro-technologist. What he lacks in brain cells he makes up for in enthusiasm and bravado. Eric has enough optimism to get through even the most dire times.
Alexander Reason
age: 27 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Reason ❀ gate: Force
height: 5'10" ❀ build: Thin ❀ notable features: Terrible fashion choices "Aw, Tina, you never let me have any fun."
When you first meet him, the heir to House Reason may strike you as odd. He dresses in a full suit with a fur cape, a top hat, and a funny mask. He never seems to meet your eyes. He's almost always holding Christina Young's hand. All these oddities are explained when you learn that he's blind.

He hasn't let his condition get in the way of happiness, however. Reason will gladly joke, laugh, drink, and sing as if he were a normal man. He's even engaged to a technologist heir by the name of Christina Young. Obviously, he is a strong supporter of the North.

Nils Refren
age: 72 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: /
height: 5'8 ❀ build: Old ❀ notable features: Beard down to his waist"Show respect."
One of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. He manages the churches in House Croan, and is the most senior member on the Council. Nils began as the only priest of a backwater town in House Nols, and worked his way up to where he is now. Has a wife, three kids, and ten lovely grandchildren who visit him every other week and beg for candies.

Enjoys fishing.
Tenala Friess
age: 45 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: Bromine (Earth)
height: 5'8 ❀ build: Losing her youth ❀ notable features: Scary smile"Know your place."
One of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. Manages the Church in Dalris, Immolis, Reason, and Aureolin. While Tenala has a sinister gaze, she only bears good intentions. One of her primary achievments was helping establish a proper management and categorization system for abandoned and orphaned children. She also favors the North, and wishes for Magusist policy and thinking to be more progressive.

She has a fondness for sweets.
Cormack Elstadt
age: ?? ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: ??
height: 6'3 ❀ build: Large ❀ notable features: Always in armor"Follow orders."
The leader of the Holy Knights, and one of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. His military experience is slight, but he is quite adept at fighting in his own right. Wields a sword and shield in battle. One can often find Cormack at the training grounds at the Holy Knight headquarters in House Croan. Even though he always works up a sweat, he never bathes in public. In fact, nobody's ever seen him without his helmet on.

Loves flowers. He personally oversees the gardeners at the headquarters.
Valerie Croan
age: 29 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: Light generation
height: 5'1 ❀ build: Diminutive ❀ notable features: Deadpan stare"Obey doctrine."
One of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. Manages the church in Nols and Teglo.

Born out of wedlock to a House Croan branch family, Valerie had nothing to expect in her future as an unwanted and illegitimate heir. Wishing to end her own life, she climbed atop the nearest tower in Enidad, which happened to be that of the church. Cormack caught her on the way down. After hearing her story, the Council took her in and raised her to be the next Bishop. Nils treats her as his own daughter.
Nicholas Veltoy
age: 35 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: /
height: 5'11 ❀ build: Beanpole ❀ notable features: Early-onset grey hair"Spread the word."
 One of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. Manages the church in Pachel and Seler. Unfortunately, House Pachel and Seler aren't very devout. "Nic" might be the reason why.

In order to properly convey his position to the Houses he works in, Nic wears armor that's much larger than he is. It looks fine when he stands still- unfortunately, when he moves about, his movement resembles a chicken with its head cut off. Regardless, his dogged devotion and head for numbers make him a valuable asset for the Council.

Ferris Paron
age: 30? ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Holy Knights (Croan) ❀ gate: Primal Light
height: 6'1" ❀ build: Strong ❀ notable features: Shit-eating grin
"Whazzat? I'm *hic* not violating my code *hic* just... enjoying myself a bit."
The hottest holy knight you ever did meet. Unfortunately, while the Order doesn't restrict marriage, holy knights are known to be uptight pricks who never let you have a nice night out.

Not Ferris. He's been having nice nights out his whole life, and he certainly hasn't let something as small as a divine calling get in his way. He'll take you out, have a nice drink or two or ten. You might even get to see him use his gate. Ferris is supposedly the most powerful magic user in the order. It's probably the only reason why he's still in it.
Laius Harwick
age: 13 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Holy Knights (Croan) ❀ gate: 
height: 5'4" ❀ build: Scrawny ❀ notable features: 
"Did you know that Holy Knights get sixty days off a year? I didn't know until Sir Ferris told me!"
Laius is Ferris's most devoted follower. When his parents died in an incident in Enidad, the Croanian capital, the Church took him in and raised him. He grew up with tales of holy knights and their chivalrous acts, and thus decided to become one himself. He read every single book in the Repository and begged and begged every single member of the Order to take him on as a squire. Only Ferris accepted. Laius now serves Ferris with dogged devotion and clings to his every word.

It's a bit concerning, really.

Tobias Graves
age: 26 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Graves Family (Pachel) ❀ gate: Hydrofluoric Acid
height: 5'9" ❀ build: Scrappy ❀ notable features: Hawk Eyes
"Time for Plan B."
As the heir apparent to the Graves family, Tobias has been trained in warfare, politics, and other skills in order to best support the Graves family head in their pursuit of the Pachel title. He aids every decision and movement in the complicated web of Pachelian court politics the family makes, and in doing so, has gained a key understanding of every single being involved in it.

Rumor has it, however, that he wasn't the original heir, only taking up the role after the Graves family failed in their original task to create the strongest fire mage in existence...

Ever since then, he hasn't been on the continent for longer than a month at a time. While the heirs tend to run the whole thing together, Verity is as close to a sole ruler as it gets. The distaste for her father and those beastmen she feels as a result is no secret. Verity takes everything seriously. Her own unique brand of humour is dry and mocking. She often takes matters into her own hands. It is the incompetency of other people that leads to failure. And throughout her life, she has seen an awful lot of mistakes. Why, she lives with three of them.
	^{Veer Seler}age: 24 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Seler ❀ gate: Force height: 6'0 ❀ build: Slender ❀ notable features: Red hair, typical of Northerners. "You'll find I don't care much for my father's taste in women." The second child of Vector Seler - or the second child he's recognised as an heir. Veer stands out from his family and just about anyone else due to his unusual red hair he inherited from his technologist mother. It's not recommended to mention it to him. He'll deck you. This may have contributed to the deep disgust for Northerners that Veer has developed. Veer shares a lot with his siblings. A stern and serious personality as well as a love for the sea and sailing. There are differences. Veer's temper is much shorter than the others', though he tries to act dismissive and as if he isn't bothered by anything.
	^{Lampert Kothlin}age: 20 ❀ gender: L ❀ affiliation: House Kothlin ❀ gate: Light height: 1'0 ❀ build: Kothlin Brand ❀ notable features: No fingers "💡" (pretend the image is missing its fingers) The only heir to House Kothlin. Arthur's own creation, a lamp that hasn't moved from his bedside for the last 20 years. The bone part was acquired from an auction. They're not real. Probably. Lampert is constructed from the bones of an arm and most of a hand kept together with glue and hinges, allowing it to bend. The hand is missing all of its fingers. Luckily, Kothlin's superglue will keep the light part fixated to the palm of the hand. Lampert will be remaining at home for the talks for its safety.
	^{Christina Young}age: 27 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: House Young ❀ gate: Electricity height: 5'2" ❀ build: smol ❀ notable features: "I can't just let you out of my sight, Reason." Christina compensates for her short stature by being the smartest person in any given room. Skilled in all things electronic and mechanical, she can assemble and disassemble almost any device in a matter of minutes. Her expertise and heritage landed her an easy research position in her mother's labs. She spends most of her time in them. While she is attending the talks, she is not going as a representative. Her mother is there. Instead, Christina will be overseeing security in the tower, as well as acting as a pseudo-arbiter outside of the negotiations room. Her knowledge and gadgets will be extremely helpful to protecting the security of the talks.
	^{Eric Granis}age: 34 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Granis ❀ gate: Air height: 5'11 ❀ build: Solid ❀ notable features: Appears to sparkle in the sunlight "I'm quite popular with the ladies, you know... so. What do you think?" The eldest Granis heir, who will attending the talks. Known for being a bit of a womanizer. He may be attractive, but he's about as smooth as sandpaper. His reputation is something of a miracle. Something else he is known for is his swordsmanship, which he has the skills to back up as well. A shame that swords aren't the most practical of weaponry. Very pro-technologist. What he lacks in brain cells he makes up for in enthusiasm and bravado. Eric has enough optimism to get through even the most dire times.
	^{Alexander Reason}age: 27 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: House Reason ❀ gate: Force height: 5'10" ❀ build: Thin ❀ notable features: Terrible fashion choices "Aw, Tina, you never let me have any fun." When you first meet him, the heir to House Reason may strike you as odd. He dresses in a full suit with a fur cape, a top hat, and a funny mask. He never seems to meet your eyes. He's almost always holding Christina Young's hand. All these oddities are explained when you learn that he's blind. He hasn't let his condition get in the way of happiness, however. Reason will gladly joke, laugh, drink, and sing as if he were a normal man. He's even engaged to a technologist heir by the name of Christina Young. Obviously, he is a strong supporter of the North.

	^{Nils Refren}age: 72 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: / height: 5'8 ❀ build: Old ❀ notable features: Beard down to his waist "Show respect." One of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. He manages the churches in House Croan, and is the most senior member on the Council. Nils began as the only priest of a backwater town in House Nols, and worked his way up to where he is now. Has a wife, three kids, and ten lovely grandchildren who visit him every other week and beg for candies. Enjoys fishing.
	^{Tenala Friess}age: 45 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: Bromine (Earth) height: 5'8 ❀ build: Losing her youth ❀ notable features: Scary smile "Know your place." One of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. Manages the Church in Dalris, Immolis, Reason, and Aureolin. While Tenala has a sinister gaze, she only bears good intentions. One of her primary achievments was helping establish a proper management and categorization system for abandoned and orphaned children. She also favors the North, and wishes for Magusist policy and thinking to be more progressive. She has a fondness for sweets.
	^{Cormack Elstadt}age: ?? ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: ?? height: 6'3 ❀ build: Large ❀ notable features: Always in armor "Follow orders." The leader of the Holy Knights, and one of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. His military experience is slight, but he is quite adept at fighting in his own right. Wields a sword and shield in battle. One can often find Cormack at the training grounds at the Holy Knight headquarters in House Croan. Even though he always works up a sweat, he never bathes in public. In fact, nobody's ever seen him without his helmet on. Loves flowers. He personally oversees the gardeners at the headquarters.
	^{Valerie Croan}age: 29 ❀ gender: F ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: Light generation height: 5'1 ❀ build: Diminutive ❀ notable features: Deadpan stare "Obey doctrine." One of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. Manages the church in Nols and Teglo. Born out of wedlock to a House Croan branch family, Valerie had nothing to expect in her future as an unwanted and illegitimate heir. Wishing to end her own life, she climbed atop the nearest tower in Enidad, which happened to be that of the church. Cormack caught her on the way down. After hearing her story, the Council took her in and raised her to be the next Bishop. Nils treats her as his own daughter.
	^{Nicholas Veltoy}age: 35 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Magusist Church ❀ gate: / height: 5'11 ❀ build: Beanpole ❀ notable features: Early-onset grey hair "Spread the word." One of the 5 Bishops on the Church Council. Manages the church in Pachel and Seler. Unfortunately, House Pachel and Seler aren't very devout. "Nic" might be the reason why. In order to properly convey his position to the Houses he works in, Nic wears armor that's much larger than he is. It looks fine when he stands still- unfortunately, when he moves about, his movement resembles a chicken with its head cut off. Regardless, his dogged devotion and head for numbers make him a valuable asset for the Council.

	^{Ferris Paron}age: 30? ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Holy Knights (Croan) ❀ gate: Primal Light height: 6'1" ❀ build: Strong ❀ notable features: Shit-eating grin "Whazzat? I'm hic not violating my code hic just... enjoying myself a bit." The hottest holy knight you ever did meet. Unfortunately, while the Order doesn't restrict marriage, holy knights are known to be uptight pricks who never let you have a nice night out. Not Ferris. He's been having nice nights out his whole life, and he certainly hasn't let something as small as a divine calling get in his way. He'll take you out, have a nice drink or two or ten. You might even get to see him use his gate. Ferris is supposedly the most powerful magic user in the order. It's probably the only reason why he's still in it.
	^{Laius Harwick}age: 13 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Holy Knights (Croan) ❀ gate: height: 5'4" ❀ build: Scrawny ❀ notable features: "Did you know that Holy Knights get sixty days off a year? I didn't know until Sir Ferris told me!" Laius is Ferris's most devoted follower. When his parents died in an incident in Enidad, the Croanian capital, the Church took him in and raised him. He grew up with tales of holy knights and their chivalrous acts, and thus decided to become one himself. He read every single book in the Repository and begged and begged every single member of the Order to take him on as a squire. Only Ferris accepted. Laius now serves Ferris with dogged devotion and clings to his every word. It's a bit concerning, really.

	^{Tobias Graves}age: 26 ❀ gender: M ❀ affiliation: Graves Family (Pachel) ❀ gate: Hydrofluoric Acid height: 5'9" ❀ build: Scrappy ❀ notable features: Hawk Eyes "Time for Plan B." As the heir apparent to the Graves family, Tobias has been trained in warfare, politics, and other skills in order to best support the Graves family head in their pursuit of the Pachel title. He aids every decision and movement in the complicated web of Pachelian court politics the family makes, and in doing so, has gained a key understanding of every single being involved in it. Rumor has it, however, that he wasn't the original heir, only taking up the role after the Graves family failed in their original task to create the strongest fire mage in existence...

It is the 15th of Anais, year 1648.
Today, some of the most powerful people on the continent assemble at Harrow's Tower.
Tomorrow, the final verdict on the Mageborn-Technologist conflict will be delivered.
A decision that will be remembered for centuries to come.


ℙremise

249 years ago, the Croanian Empire finally fulfilled its goal of conquering the continent of Kals. After years of war, Croania took control of the capital of technologist Ateria and subjugated its people, turning the former country into Northern Croania. The continent was united.

Now, in the present day, the Empire heads towards war once more. But, this time, instead of fighting a foreign power, Croania is tearing itself apart from the inside.

The Mage Queen of Croania, in an effort to keep the country unified, has invited all the House lords, 12 southern mageborn and 3 technologists, to a conference at Harrow’s Keep, a key centerpoint in the fracturing country. The goal of the conference is to discuss solutions to the conflict and consider redistributing power to the North.

With war looming on the horizon, the day of the Peace Talks draws closer. The future of Croania hangs in the balance.

𝕀nformation

Welcome to Cardinal Rift, a fantasy/sci-fi RP!

Cardinal Rift is set on Croania, a continent with two wildly different cultures. In the North, there are cars, televisions, and highly advanced computer systems far more powerful than what we have in our world. However, the technology is very concentrated at the top, with most of the population owning very little. In the South, the technology is at about the level of Victorian-era England. The quality of life, however, is much higher, with cleaner streets, more food, and a much more temperate climate. 

The two cultures have been in conflict for some time (although there has been very little outright violence). The starting point of Cardinal Rift is at Harrow’s Tower, a building right on the “border” between the cultures. There, 15 representatives from each house will gather to discuss and solve the problems plaguing their relationship.

The Peace Talks will be chapter 1 of the RP. The following chapters will focus on their repercussions and impacts all across Croania.

Q: Can I play someone who won't go to the talks/is unaffiliated with nobility?
A: Yes! You can play basically any character you like! Our only requirement is that your character has a backstory/motivations that link them to one of our plotlines. The Talks are here because they will have big impacts on the country, including on the normal people. It's okay to play a non-noble, because the effects of the talks are so far-reaching.

Q: Guns?
A: No, there aren't guns. Due to the higher oxygen level on Teliv, weapons that rely on explosive mechanisms or burning (guns, bombs, napalm, cannons) are incredibly volatile and unsafe to use. The South has never needed them anyway, with their gates. The North has developed railguns and coilguns, but most are large and require teams of men to operate and transport them.

Q: What level are Northern computers at?
A: While their processing power is greater than computers on Earth, they haven't spread enough for an Internet to develop due to their monstrous cost. No AI has been created yet. Primarily, the computers are used for simulations and rendering of scientific processes for research.

Q: Entertainment?
A: In the South, the advent of the printing press over 700 years ago was the last "big" development in entertainment. Books, shows, and games are all the rage amongst nobility and commonfolk alike. In the North, televisions are gradually spreading, but they have yet to reach the ubiquity of TV on Earth. Ask about specific books or games that are popular if you need them in your posts.
