[Jessica]

Jessica was born in Moonglow to a family of mages, from a young age she has always been in tune with magics. She was able to cast the first circle of spells at the age of four and so she was tutored. She has always had an inquisitive nature and wanted to spread her wings and explore the world at large. So at the age of 17 she packed up her belongings, her spellbook and set off from Moonglow.

From the get go she had troubles, she came across a group of brigands and nearly lost her life in the fight, luck was on her side as she managed to escape, from then on she began to show extreme caution. She at first traveled from place to place learning all the way along. When the Moongates opened up to the Tokunese Empire she traveled there. she loved the islands at first sight. Not just because of its beauty but because under the beauty there was dangers hidden within.

She settled in Zento for a time and started to learn fencing, simply just holding a kryss correctly and some forms, due to being an outsider that's all they would teach her. She then figured that she would learn more on the move and practice practice practice.

She began her travels again just keeping to the forests, there she learn about woodcraft, the sounds of the different animals and also her limits. Her magery improved along with her fencing, and soon found that the odd ettin and ogre was of no match for her.

She traveled back to Moonglow after about 2 years of traveling, there she found out that she became an auntie. After a couple of months with her family she became restless again as set to the road. After another two years of travel, studying and living alone she became bored with this life style and went into the main towns. She was greeted friendly enough in all towns that she went in, even in Yew though she knew not to show her magical skills there. After some consideration she decided upon Cove as a place to settle in and made forth on her travels again, only this time there was an end to road.

[Kardeiz]

Name : Kardeiz D'Venci
Age : 25
Hair : Blonde
Eyes : Brown
Height : 5'8
Place of Birth : Luna

Appearance.

Kardeiz's long blonde hair is tied back into a neat ponytail.  He has a short goatie which he keeps trimmed.  His broad shoulders and arms are well muscled due to extensive weapon training with both sword and bow.  Kardeiz is usually seen wearing a skullcap to keep his hair in place and loose strands out of his eyes.  His armour is kept clean and well polished, on his belt is a decorative scabbard in which he keeps a longsword, next to this is a plain scabbard carrying a scimatar.  At his left hip is attached a crossbow.  Over his left shoulder he carries a quiver and longbow.

Background

Kardeiz was raised along with his older brother and younger sister in Luna, it was the tradition of his family that the oldest son joined one of the knight training schools.  Being close with his brother he learnt from him a few things about swordsmanship and archery.  During a tragic raid on the town Kardeiz's brother was killed and so he begged to go into the Knight school in his place.  He took well to his training and excelled in his classes, it was not long before he moved from being a Turcopole to a Squire and then Man of Arms whilst being apprenticed by another Knight.

During a night time patrol they came visited one of the villages that boardered the darker lands of Umbra and the inhabitants were known to harbour criminals.  They happened upon an incident where a young boy was being accused of stealing a loaf of bread.  The knight called for him to be brought forward and asked questions of the boy and the accuser.  After hearing what was to be said he ordered one of the boy's hands to be removed.  Kardeiz was shocked at this severe and very quick judgement and questioned his mentor's actions.  After this Kardeiz began to feel discontented about his mentor and requested several times for a change but was denied each time.  Finally he decided to leave and not wishing to face his parent's disappointment he left Luna all together to find somewhere new to live.

It was then he learnt about the mercenary company in Cove and decided to join up feeling that his weapon skills would be of use and he could make enough money to maybe later move on again and form a better life for himself.  Since then with the company returning to its former roots as an army he decided to stay put and felt better about it.

[Vincent]

Name: Vincent
Surname: Unkown
Place of birth: Minoc, but grew up in East Altmere
Age: 20 summers

Background:
His mother died after giving him birth. His father - Marcus - then moved from Minoc to Eastern Altmere, settling at the border of the forest near the bay. He never spoke of his past and his wife - Vincent's mother, he didn't even tell his son their family name. The only thing Vincent could tell is that his father was very good with a mace - he single-handedly dispached a group of five Ettins that one day came out from the forest - thus suggesting he was either a soldier or an adventurer.

After that incident Vincent, who was 14 summers then, asked Marcus to teach him. His father agreed without protests (and he even seemed a bit satysfied). During the next three years Vincent was tough the arts of Tactics, Parrying and fighting with an Axe - his weapon of choice unlike his father. He also got a grip on knowledge of human body - Anatomy and Healing.

During his 18th year his father died - returning home from a hunt Vincent just found his father lying in his bed not breathing. He buried him according to the tenets of Church of Avatari - just like his father wanted. Grief being not his thing Vincent just packed up, sold his house and went to Minoc, his birth city, in search of something to do. He didnt stay there and journeyed through a moongate to the city of Jehlom. There he stayed for two years honing his skills until one day he saw a banner fluttering in the wind...

[Aslin]

Name: Aslin vom Distelfeld (of Thistlefield)
Age: 19
Born in: Skara Brae
Height: Around 1.65m
Eyes: Dark brown
Hair: Coarse and long, brownish with blond, red and darker speckles. As a wolf, the same, with darker markings around her eyes forming a sort of "mask"
Note: As appearances and physical traits go, neither of her forms indicates her lycanthropy. If at all, it is her behavior.

Born on a farm on the outskirts of Skara Brae, Aslin was once fully human. Her life was rather uneventful in her youth, consisting mostly of learning the basics of survival in civilization, such as reading and writing a little, falling for pranks and getting her own back at the prankers. She came from a rather large family, being the third of seven children. She spent much time on her own, being a little uncomfortable around too many people.
Then, back when she was twelve, she made a little discovery one night as she roamed the woods near her home. It looked like a plain belt at first, a little wider than usual and with seven small buckles. The leather was rather unfamiliar; only much later did she determine it to be human skin. It was a werewolf belt, made from the skin of hanged men and designed to transform the wearer into a wolf.
Unaware of it, Aslin buckled the belt to try it on - and became what she is today, a werewolf. Trapped in the shape of a wolf from the moment she wore the belt, her sense of smell most of all was enhanced, driving her nearly mad as all the new sensations came pouring in on her.
She fled the Skaran outskirts and hid as she slowly became used to her new form. Every normal daily task became a challenge to her as she had to learn anew how to eat, drink and most of all... hunt. A pack of timberwolves took her in despite her extremely strange behavior. Communication was impossible at first as Aslin tried and failed to keep her human language as a wolf. It took the good part of spring for her to learn the basics of pack life, and until fall for the pack to fully accept their peculiar new member. Perhaps the only reason they did was because she still looked to be a pup, barely over a year old.
After a while, Aslin would take trips back to her home at night to greet the farm's animals and look in through the window at her family, to make sure all was well. But the chickens scattered and squawked as she came near and the guard dogs chased her off; it was then that she realized things had truly changed.
Years passed, years spent hunting, living and learning with her new family, the pack. It was strange, yes, that she grew slower than the other pups, several years seeming to amount not even to one in her development, but she was "one of them" nonetheless.

Many, many months after she had first picked up the belt, memories of her humanity started to flash at her, teasing her at first, then urging her to remember what it was like on two legs, to be... not a wolf. The longing growing within her, one day, her mind forced her body to obey - and she returned, painfully from the indecisiveness, to her human body, the belt once again around her waist. A vision of the day that changed her flashed before her and she tore it off. But what once was linked to the sinister belt had become part of her, no longer merely effective through the clothing. As her concentration slipped, so did her hold on her two-legged shape, and she was wolf once more. But for the main part, Aslin had learned something: with a strong will, she could "shape" her life. And so practice began.

Now she changes easily between the two forms, still favoring the canine over the human. She has a very strong sense of smell and somewhat strange behavior at times as she is neither fully at home in the world of men nor in the world of wolves. Her little "monthly problem" is the time around full moon, when it simply becomes more difficult for her to resist changing to wolf. However, it is possible to stay human.

Aslin joined the army out of lack of elsewhere to go. Cove has started to feel like a home to her, and she is finding her place to fit in in some strange way or another.

Body Type: Fit
Profession: Arcanist

Background:
Darius was born in a small outskirt village of Jhelom. Born with one sister who died as a baby and an older brother who ran off at the age of 18 to become a serial murderer. Darius was born into a poor farmer family. His father was never home, was always out in the fields or in town trying to sell his crop for what little money they could collect. Darius started watching some lessons in town at a Mage school. Practicing from the outside because he was too poor to attend. Getting the hang of the art, he was discovered by his eldest brother. His brother wanted to kill him and treated him as a traitor. When Darius reached the age of 20 he ran away. This threw his family in shock, for he was to take over the farm. His brother swore to his mother he will find Darius and drag him back. Five years later he ended up in Cove. Not knowing much about warfare or the army, he was intrigued by a little training he got to watch. So he decided to join. Now he can train in his arcane ways with others of his type.

Personality:
Darius is kind if you're kind. He is not the smartest tool in the shed and his accent often changes a bit due to being in so many places on his travels to Cove. He holds grudges for long periods of times and will do ANYTHING to make some money. He keeps his proud head bald as his father did and his grandfather. Darius also has a good sense of humor.
