History: Ebin
is the last survivor of the House of Elethrayra, rulers
of Elethrayra, living in exile in the naboring Kingdom of
Sirius. He currently lives as Lord Valkyn and Lady Rani's
ward at the Estate de Valkyn, studying hard to take over
the manor and surround fiefdom. Although he and May are
engaged and completely head-over-heels for each other, they
are forbidden from marriage because of his and her respective
social standings.
Personality:
Ebin is a quiet person, somewhat soft spoken and very introspective
for his age, but when it comes to May and dating he can
be somewhat dense. Though he despises what Emperor Houman
did to his family, he is wise enough to see that the past
has happened, and is more concerned about trying to keep
those around him safe than trying any act of revenge. While
he is grateful for the refuge that King Sirius has granted
him, he is none too happy that he is still a trump card
His Majesty can play in the political arena, and knows he
is kept around strictly for that reason. Ebin so despises
being used as a political pawn and the trappings of his
title that he dreams of a day when he can be stripped of
his title and be free to marry May.
History: May came to the Castle of
Elethrayra when her father was contracted to build the extra
seats needed for a wedding. There she befriended the Prince
Ebin Elethrayra and became fast friends. Not too long after
the wedding, Emperor Houman invaded Elethrayra and forced
Ebin to flee for his life with May by his side to the Kingdom
of Sirius. In Sirius, May's friendship with Ebin grew into
love. Now the two are rarely seen apart.
Personality: May is one of those rare
individuals who not only enjoys working but must always
have something to do or she will get fidgety and restless.
She is inquisitive and curious as well as incredibly loyal
to her friends. May enjoys being sociable and meeting new
and interesting people, for which there is great opportunity
as a servant for such a prestigious household. It was May
who taught and got Ebin interested in country dancing. The
only person May truly dislikes is Princess Fluffwinea Sirius
whom May thinks is snobbish and has her head in the clouds.
History: Lord Valkyn used to belong
to the Tel-Magi, a mystic set of warriors. When he met Lady
Rani, the two fell instantly for each other and fled their
homeland. After traveling for sometime, they wound up in
Elethrayra as the King's personal guard. Despite their best
efforts, they failed to stop Felious' invasion of Elethrayra.
The King Elethrayra's last request of Lord Valkyn and Lady
Rani was to protect his son, Prince Ebin Elethrayra. This
is a oath that both magi take quite seriously. Now, Lord
Valkyn owns a small fiefdom inside the Kingdom of Sirius,
and tutors Ebin in economics, swordsmanship and politics.
Personality: Lord Valkyn is a cheerful
fellow, with a fair since of humor, and an even more biting
since of "what comes around, goes around". Although he enjoys
games of strategy, he has still to master the art of being
a good loser. Between him and Lady Rani, he is by far the
better mage.
History: Lady Rani and Lord Valkyn
fled their homeland, in fear of persecution. They wandered
for a few years before finding themselves in Elethrayra,
where the King took them in and hired them as his personal
guard. When they were unable to stop Houman's takeover of
Elethrayra, they fled to the Kingdom of Sirius with Ebin.
Now Lady Rani runs security for the de Valkyn Estate's fiefdom.
She takes her job rather seriously, full knowing that Houman
would try just about anything to get his paws on Ebin.
Personality: Lady Rani is a wonderful
woman, even if she is a bit of a busy body who sticks her
nose where it doesn't belong. She is very outgoing, and
has a tendency of acting before thinking things through.
Her word is her honor, and when she says something, she's
dang well going to do it. Like her husband she is very supportive
of Ebin and May, tending to view Ebin more like the son
that she could never have than as a ward. Lady Rani is also
quite a strong swordsman, and most of the magic she knows
enhances her blades.
History: Despite being a cat, she's
a native of Sirius, growing up on the streets. Being the
local sneak thief, she came into Lord Valkyn's attention
after trying (and failing) to swipe something from his manor.
She ended up damaging part of the household and, as punishment,
Lord Valkyn had her work in the stables as pence. However,
Heather actually turned out to be a very good stable hand
and has remained under Valkyn's employment since. After
all, working with his horses and getting room and board
out of it along with a little spending cash sure beats sleeping
in alleys and running into trouble with the local constabulary.
Personality: Simple minded, yet cunning
in her own way, Heather is a straightforward individual.
She very much speaks her mind in all things and is more
than willing to voice her opinion even if it's subjects
she doesn't quite understand. She hard working at things
she cares about, but a bit of a slacker for duties she dislikes.
While she's stopped her thieving ways, she still is a bit
of a kleptomaniac and occasionally like to challenge herself
by trying to swipe some of Lord Valkyn's 'stuff'. This,
over time, has turned into something of a game for the two
of them.
