No Posting Please

Welcome! You've stumbled upon my Eldemorian Characters Thread. I'll be storing all the information about my Eldemore Characters here, along with info on my Custom Runes and Elkrin which are cared for by Sachie. A few of my characters have stories for them, and those will be linked when I get around to it.

With the exception of Sachie and her pets, all my Eld characters are up for roleplay at the moment. So shoot me a PM if interested. I'm a pretty casual roleplayer, so don't expect a reply everyday, but we'll work it out. Blah Blah Blah.

Please note, this whole thing is very large and unruly at the moment. The third page really hasn't been developed at all and has old stuff that needs to be changed and edited and updated. So bear that in mind. XP

Please read through and enjoy, but refrain from posting. I must have order! Rawr!

The Gentlewoman with the Passion for Knowledge



Oh my gosh this needs so much editing and fixing and just... gah *covers from view*

Full Name: Avalbane Sacheverell
Nicknames: Prefers to be called by her last name "Sacheverell', or "Sachie" for short; only her family and very few close friends can get away with calling her Avalbane, which is why most people simply know her as Sacheverell.
Gender: Female
Age: Early twenties

Movement: Sacheverell moves with a fair amount of poise and self confidence. However grace and elegance are not exactly her strong suit - she can strike a pretty pose, but her gait can be rather underwhelming. She walks straight generally, but often carries her weight on the balls of her feet, which makes her slightly uncoordinated. Her father used to say she wasn't born for walking - she was more naturally attuned to the rocking of a horse - or as her grandfather interrupted it, a ship. Indeed, she is a natural rider, and has never experienced seasickness. While walking she swings her hips forward stiffly, and holds her arms close to her body. Her movements are measured and deliberate, from the way she sketches to the way to the way she pulls on a line, but not always careful. She can be broad if the situation requires it, but prefers to be as precise as a surgeon. Most of her physical strength comes from carefully honed specific skills. She has moderate strength and stamina. It's her cleverness, and determination that make up for it.

Voice: Sacheverell is a witty conversationalist, who speaks with an accent of high education. Her voice is easy to listen to, which is probably best, because she's more of a 'teller', then a listener. She very much wants her opinion known, and will make sure you know it, as well as all the reasoning behind her opinion, various objecting opinions, and why they are wrong and she is right. Woe unto you if she considers you boring - at best she'll try to politely slip out of talking with you, at worse she'll take over the conversation and barely let you get a word in. If you're unlucky enough to have her consider you interesting, she will gladly drag you into every debate and hang on your every word, dragging on conversations just so she can glean some bit of knowledge, story, or clever witticism from you. Usually this has little or nothing to do with whether she likes you or not. In fact, she most likes people who are like her - able to launch into a civil conversation or debate, discuss things fully and completely, recognize all the issues, draw a logical conclusion, and defend it eloquently, while still being willing to make changes to their position if new information comes to light.
Sachie generally speaks in a curt manner, avoiding 'um's and 'uh's. She often jumps from idea to idea, and if you're not paying close attention you may get lost over her quick sentence fragmentation. When she gets very excited over a subject, she tends to talk very fast, sometimes in full blown run-on sentences, and may even start rambling or thinking out loud, which can be a hassle for anyone trying to understand her. But once calmed down, Sachie is usually able to get her point across in surprising clarity, drawing on her knowledge and vocabulary to spell things out. She does get rather frustrated if she has to explain things more then twice though, so pay attention the first time.

Dress: Sacheverell has two main modes of dress; adventure mode, and flashy mode. She loves dressing up in the high fashions of a few years ago. (She's not a fan of the more modern dresses.) They make her feel powerful, elegant and refined. She was born into a wealthy old-fashioned household, and likes to maintain a wealthy old-fashioned air about her. She loves the slender and elegant silhouette of a gown, and loves any excuse to get prettied up, although she doesn't really have the time or resources to do so nowadays. Most often you can find her in her riding habit, as it is more comfortable and practical then a big flowing gown.
Of course, one can't go sailing or adventuring in a fancy dress, which is why Sachie also adopts a practical mode of dress for sailing and adventuring, which usually consists of a plain shirt, trousers or a divided skirt, and may include a jacket or short skirt as well. She often takes along many instruments, books, and drawing tools, so she's sure to have a pack or two as well. Sachie is one who lives by the motto: always be prepared - if prepared means having an extra piece of charcoal in case the first gets broken. Chances are when you need a knife, or a canteen, she will not have it, having decided the space was better put to use for holding her field guide of indigenous shore birds.
Wherever she goes, whatever she wears she's most likely to bring along a sketchbook, with pencil or charcoal. She is also slightly far-sighted, so she tends to wear a pair of rectangular spectacles when she needs to read small print, and will always have those on hand.

Personality

Meyer Briggs Personality: INTJ

Architect - The architect is a special kind of artist - one who can uncover foundations and build upon them. Sacheverell is a quiet and withdrawn artist, but don't think she's a loner - instead she thrives on the attention of her peers, and generally works well with others - so long as they don't mind her somewhat bossy attitude. Much like the Deep Sea Rune, she is confident and fun-loving. Full of wonder and lust for living, Sacheverell is usually exploring some deep cave, or thought provoking quandary. Concerned with appearances, yet knowing that they are not everything, Sacheverell recognizes the beauty of function over form. Flexible, creative, and somewhat eccentric, the architect is always creating something wherever she goes.

Corsair - Underneath a pleasant facade lies the heart of a pirate. Sacheverell is not exactly the soul of innocence, and the Kelpie Rune recognized that. There have always been rogues, bandits, pirates; for the potential for evil exists in us all. Sacheverell is no exception. She can be manipulative, greedy, even petty, and given to the worse sin of all: pride. Like the Kelpie Rune is loves shiny things - although for different reasons. And while she would never deliberately place the importance of gold over the importance of friends, sometimes one does get distracted. Cunning, greedy, and maybe a touch morbid when the occasion calls for it, the Corsair nonetheless is confident and always open to new ideas.

Scholar - The contemplative life of the Scholar may not seem adventurous to some, but Sacheverell would disagree. She loves books, and shares this passion with the young Kells Rune. The thirst for knowledge is one that will never be quenched, as each new tidbit only serves to whet your tongue. Fastidious in all she does, Sacheverell may sometimes get too caught up in the task at hand. She is very analytical, which can sometimes annoy people who just want a straight answer, or who act on impulse. She enjoys mental challenges, whether it's piecing together torn scrolls, or figuring the best way to keep her Runes away from her candy stash. While she is generally patient, dealing with stupidity really frustrates her. The Scholar is a creative force who strives to be her best, and is always looking for knowledge and skills to supplement that.

Warrior - Righteousness, Courage, Determination and Honor are the hallmarks of a warrior spirit. Sacheverell posses all of these, although she is often in doubt of her own strength. But never fear, for when icy doubt begins to seep into her bones, she need only turn to the Belted Drake. Sacheverell tries to always be true to herself, but that's not always easy. Respectful, and steadfast, she hates to see injustice done. She values life, freedom, and the law, but of course, Sacheverell led a privileged life for many years. Sacheverell has a strong conscience, but that doesn't always mean she makes the right decisions. Being a warrior is a double-edged sword - righteousness fails, courage breaks, determination wanes, and honor gives way. The Warrior is still only human after all.

Navigator - Never losing hope is the Navigator's mantra. Come storm or high seas, the stars still shine and the Seafarer's Rune still finds his way. Like the Seafarer, Sacheverell is always up for an adventure, and always has a goal in mind. She is blessed with good fortune, and the ability to look on the bright side. Sacheverell may be cynical at times, but she is generally optimistic in her world view. She doesn't shirk from hard work, or getting dirty, but at the same time, if someone else would like to work, she by all means lets them, and preserves her strength for more important things. She is feisty, and although strong, she oftentimes misjudges that strength. The Navigator is often prepared, having plenty of paper and pencil on hand to record each thing she sees, and is not afraid to dive into uncharted territory. After all, it's the Navigator's goal to discover that which has never been seen before!

Trailblazer - Lonely is the wanderer, as he treks o'er hill and dale. Like the Celtland Hue Elkrin, Sacheverell is most comfortable on the move, even if it means leaving friends behind for a while. There is just so much to see and explore and do. She is a Trailblazer, always looking to explore new avenues. Sacheverell will often go off on tangents, exploring new solutions to problems, or taking the scenic route. Like the Trailblazer, she takes the lead on most expeditions, forging a path to new knowledge and adventure.

Brief History
The privileged only daughter of a wealthy landowner, Sacheverell was born and raised on an estate located on an island off the main coast of Eldenmore. She grew up in a rather old fashioned society of leisure, and was well educated from childhood, learning all things proper young ladies should; writing, arithmetic, music, literature, science, history, art, and riding.
She took an especial interest in natural philosophy from a young age, often going out with her grandfather in his boat to collect sea creatures. It was this study of sea life that she hoped to pursue when she booked passage on a ship to the main continent and hence to the universities of Alabastor City. But that all changed when the ship - a fishing vessel, brought up a creature she had never seen before - a Deep Sea Rune. The two formed a bond and began to work together to explore the deep ocean, and all of Eldemore.
While exploring the rivers of the Celtland, their party doubled. Having heard tale of a wild Kelpie Rune who was wrecking havoc, Sacheverell set out to find him, and that she did. When they left the Celtlands the Kelpie Rune accompanied him, along with another little surprise - a baby Kells Rune, the offspring of the Kelpie and Pictish Runes.

On their slow trek toward Alabaster city - stopping to partake of any adventure that came their way, the group met a stranger who told them of a fabulous treasure. Well, no one could resist a treasure, so once again the group set off, and after a perilous journey discovered the treasure was actually a Drake egg. Sacheverell was made guardian of the egg, and took the soon to hatch egg with her and her Runes. But Sacheverell wasn't the only one searching for treasure, and the group soon found themselves being chased by a group of soldiers intent on capturing the Drake Egg, knowing that the creature would be a valuable weapon if it imprinted on one of them. Sacheverell abandoned her hope of Alabaster City, and focused on trying to keep the egg safe until it's true Bearer could be located. On their journey, the egg hatched and the Drake imprinted on her. However, the baby was still young and possibly in danger of those men who would turn him into a weapon, so Sacheverell and her gang, retired to their current residence - a quiet dwelling not far from a seaside town. Not long after, on one of her many salvaging expeditions, Sacheverell discovered the Seafarer's Rune. He's a bit of a wanderer, but he always finds his way back to her, like a lucky penny that always shows up at the best of times.
While on a trek though the woods of the Celtlands, Sachie and her Runes came across a strange creature - an abandoned Elkrin fawn, who they quickly adopted into their family.

Interests: Sketching, Writing in her journal, Going on adventures for knowledge or treasure (or both as is the usual case), Studying Rune and Elkrin behavior, Swimming, Combing through tide pools, Victorian-era fashion, Restoring old manuscripts and books, Horseback Riding, Steeplechase, Writing her own novel, Sailing, Trying to learn cooking,
Enjoys Rainy Days, Adventure and Romance novels, Sweets, and Shiny things

Fears:
The Unknown - Sacheverell's biggest fear and frustration in the unknown. It's a contradiction for her - on the one hand, she loves questions. Without an unknown there is no question to ask, nothing new to discover. And yet, the most terrifying enemy is that which is nameless. Sacheverell hates facing challenges or enemies she knows nothing about. This is also why, as a child she was terribly frightened of the dark, and still is to this day. In the dark roam monsters and bandits, in the dark one is all alone. One of her tricks for coping with this is to close her eyes in the dark, thus gaining control over it.
Being Alone - Sacheverell's second greatest fear is being alone. She fears abandonment, of losing her friends, of wide empty spaces devoid of sound or information. She constantly craves stimulation of her mind. Sacheverell hates feeling alone, and thrives on the companionship of her Runes. She enjoys the sense of protection and belonging they extend to her, as well as their companionship.
Fire - For someone who works with paper, what could be more devastating then fire? Roaring through the night, eating up every last scrap of knowledge, art and hard work? What could be more terrifying then the loss of countless tomes of wise men's voices, speaking through centuries, destroyed in a heartbeat, never to speak again?

Goals:
Knowing Everything - given that that's impossible, she'll settle for knowing next to everything. She'll never stop asking questions and going in search of their answers.
Published - Sacheverell one day dreams of publishing a great Eldemorian novel, put it's proving tricky to actually finish one.
Luxury - Sacheverell wasn't meant for hard labor. While she loves what she does, she often wishes she had more leisure time... and more money. One day she hopes to live in a big house by the sea, with lots of land, and enough money to commission ships and expeditions to go all over the world, discovering specimens, artifacts, and tales no one has ever seen or heard before. That would be her ultimate dream.

Occupation: When not treasure hunting or collecting knowledge, Sacheverell's main occupation is as restorer of old manuscripts and books - not always the most lucrative of professions, which is why she also creates and sells scientific sketches, and salvages shipwrecks and jetsam. One day she also hopes to collect enough stories to publish an extensive book of Eldemorian myths and legends.

Home: Sacheverell rents an old stone and wood byre-dwelling on top of a small rise overlooking the ocean. It originally contained two rooms - an eating and sleeping hall, and an animal pen, as well as a loft. Sacheverell converted the main room into a poorly furnished kitchen and living area. It contains a large hearth for cooking at one end, and a smaller fireplace at the other. The area for animals was made into a study and library, and the loft is a large simply furnished bedroom. Yes, Sacheverell would prefer a somewhat more lavish lifestyle (it's quite a step down from the home she would have had), but the quaint living conditions and beautiful location suit her just fine for the moment. In any case, she doesn't spend all that much time there.
There is a loose box outside which Sacheverell mainly uses for storage; occasionally she leases an old sorrel gelding named Pumpkin Patch, from a livery stable at the nearest town, who stays in the loose box. She uses Patchy to get around the local area, for transporting supplies, or just for a nice ride, and recently for teaching and exercising Osraige. She's tried to keep Osraige in the box, but he's somehow found out how to get out of the stable, inside the house, and up the stairs (although he still can't figure out how to get down the stairs, which often poses a problem). She keeps trying though. On bad nights Lóegaire will sometimes curl up inside the loose box if it isn't full.
The most expensive thing Sacheverell owns is her grandfather's old boat, a goodly sized sailboat which she uses in salvaging.

Mariana

Name: Mariana
Origin: Named for the deepest part of the ocean, the Mariana Trench
Gender: Female
Designed by: Benathorn
Acquired by: Winning Form
Themes and Inspirations: Deep Sea; mystery; connections; relationships make up the universe; curiosity; the unknown; nature; beauty in function; logic; grandeur in life; exploration; bright outlook; unmasterable; be flexible; look at things differently; unpredictable; imagination
Musical Theme(s): “Our Story” melodysheep

Personality:

Mariana is a deep sea mermaid, at least in her mind. She is beautiful, and knows it. She is a survivor, a conqueror, a competitor. She is built to survive and thrive, and knows that's what makes her a marvelous creature. She's not not one for acting conceited, but give her a compliment, and she'll give you her full attention. She takes good care of herself with preening, but you shouldn't call her vain. She simply likes looking her best, especially if a handsome male happens to be nearby. Her favorite things about herself are her strength, her speed, and her cunning. In her mind, these all culminate into her breathtaking beauty. She is bigger and stronger then many earth Runes, and therefore feels she deserves a little more respect. To her flying is silly. Any little old Rune can fly. But she can dive to the deepest depths of the glorious ocean, and crawl along the bottom of the seabed. And what other rune can do that, but the marvelous Deep Sea Rune?
But Mariana isn't the gloating type. She is extremely outgoing, and friendly. She's happy to make friends and play with other Runes. They're an overall nice bunch, and not too shabby looking, even if they are a little small. This Rune dragon, like all Deep Sea Runes, is very playful - she loves a good game, and has a bit of a prankster streak in her - and curious. Mariana is an explorer. Exploration sings in this dragon's heart, like whale song. Her desire to explore, to uncover, to know about the world is intense. She loves to learn new things, and find new creatures and toys. When facing something new, this Rune is usually one of the first on the scene.
But despite her childlike wonderment and love of fun, this dragon isn't as innocent as she appears. She harbors secrets, like any deep sea creature. Although sociable, Mariana likes to travel alone for the most part, or in a small group. It should be noted that she is a wild animal, and like all wild animals, posses a powerful savagery that is often hidden. Mariana can be vindictive, snappish or even jealous if she doesn't get her way. She likes being in charge, and won't tolerate someone weak taking the lead, and she loathes losing. Mariana is not a particularly helpful dragon. She has very little compassion for anyone who is not a close friend or relative. She sees no reason in going out of her way to help someone, unless there's something in it for her. Sometimes, if only to satisfy her curiosity. She's too young to understand the true importance of family just yet, but the loyalty she displays at times might surprise you.
Being curious, you'd assume Mariana would be very intelligent (after all, the two go hand in hand), and you'd be right. Mariana is very clever. She knows all the ins and outs of living in the ocean. Well, almost all of them. If there wasn't something left unknown, well, life would be pretty dull then. She enjoys being tested in her skills. She loves riddles, like a lot of dragons. And problem solving generally comes easy to her. Mariana also enjoys tests of physical strength and agility, and loves to leap into the air with other sea dragons, like porpoises, twisting and spinning, and surfing the waves. In that sense, you could say she's a bit of a dare devil.
Yes, Mariana is self-centered. She has many traits that aren't exactly considered 'virtues' by humans. But Mariana doesn't care what humans think of her personality. She is an individual. A joy to be around. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm for life are infectious. She is playful, and passionate. A dragon who, when she loves, loves with her whole being.

Quirks:
Mariana has several favorite hobbies and things. First, she likes shiny things, like most runes, and especially mirrors. She also loves toys and puzzles, such as balls, and containers with fish in them, although if the puzzle is too hard, she'll give up and sulk for a while. Her favorite toys are oysters, and balls. She loves playing with a ball in the water. Ones that float are the best. Oysters are a special treat, a puzzle and a tasty morsel all in one! Mariana also enjoys trying to catch seagulls, playing with dolphins, exploring sea caves, and shipwrecks, as well as diving down into the depths, exploring, hunting, and playing 'pineconefish catch' and other games with other Runes. There's something very fun about being evil too, so she sometimes likes to fling sea stars and other little creatures up out of the water, and to scare fishermen by popping up close to their boats. She loves playing with other Runes, whether they're Sea Runes or not. (Although Sea Runes know better games). She also loves discovering new things, and when she finds something new, often gets very excited and her frills stand out a bit.
Things Mariana hates include being hungry, eels (because they're nasty, and don't taste good) Runes who think they're better then her, deception, losing, and being made fun of. She also hates being called by a nickname, like Mari. Bleh. She doesn't like being away from her beloved ocean, although she doesn't mind being on land for a while. But to her land is so boring, and Mariana hates being bored most of all.
Mariana is not a very good flier above the surface. Her wings are mainly good for gliding, although she can flap and fly for a several feet. Her tail is incredibly strong, however, and she uses it to propel herself through the water, and slap enemies and prey. Her eyesight is very good underwater, but above the water, things look somewhat blurred to her. Other peculiarities of this type of Rune include collapsible lungs and ribcage, an adaption for deep diving; anaerobic muscles (meaning they can work without oxygen, unlike ours), the ability to echolocate thanks to an organ in their head called a melon, and a crest with hollow passages that allow the Sea Dragons to make unique singing-like vocalizations. They can dive for up to two hours, thanks to their amazing adaptions, and can dive many fathoms down without being hindered by the massive pressure. They are also the only Rune dragon not susceptible to decompression sickness, or “the bends”, something that plagues all mammals, including marine mammals. Most likely it is with a dash of magic that Mariana can accomplish the amazing feats she does.

Eidolon

Name Eidolon
Origin: It means 'phantom, specter, apparition' or an ideal
Gender: Male
Designed by: Ashenjay
Acquired by: Winning Form
Themes and Inspirations: Kelpie; Celtic; mythology; transformation; tangles; Byronic hero; confidence; tenacity; comfortable in own territory; small size, big personality; at odds with oneself; schadenfreude; lovelorn; dark romantic; fear; a little morbid
Musical Theme(s): “Kelpie” by Jethro Tull

Personality:
He knew himself a villain—but he deem'd
The rest no better than the thing he seem'd;
And scorn'd the best as hypocrites who hid
Those deeds the bolder spirit plainly did.
He knew himself detested, but he knew
The hearts that loath'd him, crouch'd and dreaded too.
Lone, wild, and strange, he stood alike exempt
From all affection and from all contempt.
- The Corsair Lord Byron

Eidolon is not a Rune to be trifled with. Devious and selfish, the Kelpie Rune is an unbridled force to be reckoned with. His heart is wild, and his motives twisted like the weeds tangled in his mane. Lazy and self-interested, this Rune is as likely to love you as kill you, and he doesn't give a kipper what anyone thinks of him.

Eidolon is a wild and impetuous Rune dragon. He is extremely selfish and cares little for anyone but himself. Eidolon enjoys having power over others, especially humans. Rarely are his pranks deadly – as he enjoys seeing them run away screaming in terror - but he would not feel remorse even if they were. If he helps someone, it's most likely to benefit himself, but conversely he won't go too out of his way to case undue harm to others if it means nothing to him. He's too lazy for that. He is a very manipulative Rune, although he doesn't realize it yet, and thank goodness he doesn't or we'd all be in big trouble.

Adaptable and confident, this Rune dragon seems comfortable wherever he goes. He is often very disrespectful, and not afraid to voice his opinions, although almost no one wants to hear them. He is rebellious, reckless, and hates being told what to do. He is a quick and cunning little devil, and one will often find him getting in serious trouble because of it. He seems to have no sense of right or wrong, and is certainly lacking in social etiquette. Eidolon is an opportunist, and will be happy to take advantage of any situation he might be in the position of taking advantage of. But this Rune is also easily frustrated, and if he can't get his way or must work hard to do so, he'll quickly give up and pout about it.

This Rune is a real charmer. Eidolon is a very handsome young Kelpie Rune, and he's not afraid to use his dark charms to break the hearts of many a pretty lady Rune. He is certainly not immune to a pretty young thing, and will pursue his heart's desire with the passion of a starving wolf pursuing it's prey. Eidolon can be soft-spoken, sweet and sincere. He loves epically, but inevitably he will lose interest in his chosen sweetheart and find something more interesting to do. Eidolon is always very genteel and charming to his love interests, but his charms don't work on everyone. That's alright though, since this Rune enjoys a bit of a challenge. His personality is magnetic, attracting attention from those who both loathe him, and find him interesting. He has a trickster's enchantment about him, teetering on the edge of loathing and fascination, and can cunningly win over the more weak-minded to his opinions.

Eidolon is most at home in any body of water. EBut like the water horse of classical tales he prefers moving bodies of water: the ocean, a river, a loch. He detests stagnancy, (in more ways then one) and would much rather be battling deadly currents then basking in a quiet lagoon. He likes being in the water, where he can hide from his prey, and where he is master of the deep. He is a Rune who thrives on chaos.

The Kelpie Rune is a Rune shrouded in mystery. Eidolon doesn't mean to be so secretive, he just doesn't like talking about himself. He doesn't make friends easily, because of his disregard for others, nor is he ever really looking for companionship. Kelpie Runes in generally are loners, but this one seems to tolerate, and at times even enjoy hanging out with other Runes, although he remains very suspicious of humans. Eidolon certainly offers an interesting view of things, as he has a fairly violent mentality. He'll be the one egging on the fight, and laughing at the losers. But despite all this, he is a likable fellow once you get to know him. He can be charming and sweet and fun-loving, or turn on a dime and be a pig-headed bully, or a monster out of a nightmare, hunting you down. He is not a very competitive dragon, as he doesn't really see the point in competition. He's the kind of Rune happy to take a back seat, and let others take the lead, and plot his various schemes from the back of the pack.

But I don't want to give you the wrong idea about this Rune. He isn't completely evil like some, but does posses some redeeming qualities. There is no anger in his heart, in fact he's fairly light-hearted for someone so bad. He loves being wild and free, and is a fierce defender of his waters. (He usually attacks litterbugs, so don't litter!) Eidolon always means what he says. He doesn't see a point in lying on most occasions, or sugar-coating on any, and so is usually brutally honest. He is always true to himself. Eidolon is a true romantic at heart; a dark romantic.

Ceallach

Name: Ceallach
Origin: It means 'dweller of churches' or 'strife'
Gender: Male
Designed by: Benathorn
Acquired by: Breeding
Mother: Serca, the Pictish Rune owned by Bast-et
Father: Eidolon, the Kelpie Rune owned by Silverhart
Themes and Inspirations: Kells; spirituality; visual storytelling; pictures worth a thousand words; book worm; collecting; knowledge is power; enlightenment; history; hope; artistic endeavor; standing for what you believe in; everyone has a story to tell; everyday magic
Musical Theme(s): The Book of Kells by Bruno Coulais and Paperman by Christopher Beck

Personality

Ceallach is the younger offspring of Serca and Eidolon. Although taking after his mother in appearance, and being docile and reserved in nature, little Ceallach immediately developed an attachment to his decidedly undocile and unreserved father, Eidolon. Eidolon was never really meant for fatherhood, so he tried to foist the little runt on his mother, but she already had her wings full with their first hatchling. Ceallach loves his father despite this, and seems blissfully unaware of the older Rune's slight contempt for him, thriving on any attention the Kelpie Rune gives him. That isn't to say Eidolon is a terrible father, he just finds his younger son's interest in books, his lack of selfishness, his whole sweet tempered personality baffling in the extreme - if not downright sickening in many instances. In fact Eidolon treats Ceallach more like an annoying pet parrot, whom he tries to ignore whenever possible. Ceallach seems to take this as an invitation to jump on him, and give him surprise hugs, or ride on his back whenever he sees him. He's convinced that despite how Eidolon acts, the Kelpie Rune in fact loves his cuddles (This is not true, but for some reason Eidolon still tolerates this behavior from him - either because it's part of his 'ignore-Ceallach's-existence-as-much-as-possible' attitude, or perhaps he actually has a bit of a soft spot for the little book worm).
Ceallach is as much a contrast to his father as any Rune. Ceallach is quiet, kind, patient, unconditionally loving, and lacking in self confidence. He does not have a malicious or mischievous bone in his body, making him somewhat of a white sheep in a black flock, relating more to his mother, then his brother or his father, but he loves them all greatly.

Ceallach is an artist by nature. Ceallach loves the earthy smell of parchment and leather, the bitterness of the ink, and soft candlelight. He loves books and manuscripts, and loves the swirling intricacies of illumination with the passion of a priest. He dreams of creating something of equal beauty with his own claws, and can be found scribbling on scrap paper in the dusty dark corners of libraries. He's very protective of his work, however, and won't let anyone look at it. He is a perfectionist in the extreme, and gets angry at himself if he can't draw something right. Ceallach is also a scholar, embracing everything he reads, soaking it in like a sponge. He loves words as much as he loves art - to him there is no distinction between the two; every curling letter is as beautiful as a Celtic knot. Ceallach also fancies himself somewhat of an art critic, and is quick to form opinions on just about everything, often overanalyzing their hidden meanings, or making up his own.

Ceallach's outlook on life is one of fear. Yes, the world is beautiful, and wonderful, and magical, but it is also dangerous, scary, and terrifying. Ceallach prefers to avoid fearful things, and live as a hermit holed up in a scriptorium or a library. His anxiety defines his four walls, not allowing him to explore beyond their confines. He's scared of traveling long distances, or meeting new people and depends on his friends like Lóegaire to protect him, and take care of him. He's afraid of judgement of his art, and his ideas, so he tries to stifle his creative urges, but when it gets too much, and Ceallach is just exploding with creative fervor, watch out! He'll start stealing ink and quills and using them to create tiny masterpieces, practicing his illumination skills. His theft is really his one misdeed, but he doesn't really understand that stealing is bad, and no one seems to have bothered correcting him on it.

Ceallach is very shy and reserved. He loves making new friends, but is often too afraid of what they'll think of him to really try. But when he does make friends Ceallach makes friends for life. He is blessed with the good fortune of always seeing the good in people. This might come off as just childlike naïvety, but Ceallach is in no doubt that everyone is filled with some good. Compassionate and gentle, Ceallach loves all forms of life - from giant scary bears, to the tiniest scuttling spider, and he'll often go out of his way to help a creature in need. Ceallach also has a vivid imagination, like most artists, and he sometimes like to make up imaginary friends to play with when he gets lonely. And when he's bored, he'll make up games to play. It's favorites are I Spy and counting things. Ceallach is an introvert, and while he loves spending time with close friends, he loves being by himself just as much. He likes peace and quiet, and hates loud or rowdy situations. If things get out of control, Ceallach can quickly shut down. But this little Kells Rune thrives on love, and with his friends by his side there's nothing Ceallach cannot do.

Ceallach shares many ideals with his beat friend Lóegaire. The two are nearly the same age (although Lóegaire being a Drake grows much faster and is physically and emotionally more mature), and have grown up playing together. Ceallach doesn't seem to realize Lóegaire is so much bigger then he is, and still thinks of him as his playmate. Ceallach taught Lóegaire how to be patient, understanding, and compassionate, while Lóegaire has taught Ceallach not to be so fearful, and about justice, honor and friendship (obviously Eidolon disapproves of Lóegaire's good influence, but then he disapproves of most everything Ceallach does). The two love to play games together, and Lóegaire will sometimes help Ceaalach find the supplies he needs for his artwork, while Ceallach sometimes will pick out books and show their pictures to his big friend. But while Lóegaire is a warrior of action, Ceallach is a warrior of words. He is a peaceful creature, who believes in the power of words; that right word can comfort the sick, give strength to the weak, inspire the ordinary to be extraordinary. And it can give hope. Ceallach is a very hopeful creature. He always worries about things, but hopes that they will get better. His faith in words is very strong, having grown up feed on stories of hope.

Personality

When I first met this little fawn, I was surprised by his calmness and trust. Perhaps it was a childlike innocence, but he allowed me to approach him, and even seemed to be curious about me. I knew immediately that this little fawn was a bold and fearless being.
Osraige is an impulsive, and at times reckless fawn. His initial calmness was misleading - of course I fell for those big baby eyes. This little fawn is a bit of a trouble maker. Osraige is very adventurous - he's a wanderer at heart, always wanting to get out and explore. He can't be contained, and one of his favorite pastimes is finding his way out of places. He's one talented little escape artist. This little Elkrin wants to be out and about and is very active. He has a seemingly endless amount of energy, matched only by his tenacity.

This little Elkrin is no one's prey. Bold and reckless, he has an extreme developing sense of right and wrong. Osraige repays every kindness, and remembers every evil deed. Here his tenacity is a double-edged sword, for once he gets a hold of an idea or opinion he never lets go of it. Extremely headstrong, he is determined in every endeavor, and always gives his all to his passions, which can sometimes make him hard to deal with. Not the kind to stop and think, Osraige is more likely to charge ahead blindly - and it gets him in trouble more often then not. Every adversity for him must be faced with immediate action, and this Elkrin is no pacifist. He has a fighting spirit, and I have often seen him head-butt objects he takes offense to.

Never one to back down from a fight, Osraige is the kind to face challenges head on, chest out and head high. He often charges into a problem without thinking it through all the way. If faced with the Gordian Knot he'd be the one to draw his sword and slice it in half. Oftentimes he can get stuck in one way of doing things, and it may take a lot for him to realize there is more then one solution to a problem.

Osraige is a playful, generally happy little thing. He loves to run and leap and chase things, and I often have to go running after him. He's developed a game of leaping off of high places and trying to fly like a Rune dragon. This causes me no end of worry of course, but the nimble little boy always seems to land on his feet. I hope he'll mellow out in time, but I have no desire to tame and make a pet of him. I enjoy his antics, even when they worry me at first.

When it comes to games Osraige lets others take the lead. He usually plays fair, but as with most corrals he can easily find his way out of most rules if it suits him. He's a good follower, and surprisingly a good listener - but only when you have something to say that he wants to hear. If not, he'll run off to find something more interesting to do. Osraige is not what I'd call obedient. He has a mind of his own, and he's going to use it. He doesn't let others walk all over him. But if you can earn his respect, this Elkrin will follow you to the end of Eldemore and back.

In general, this little Elkrin is good with others. He's outgoing and charismatic, in a quiet sort of way. He's not a very loud Elkrin, preferring to keep his opinions to himself a lot of the time, and let others do the talking, so to speak. But his silence on matters should not be confused with shyness. This is an Elkrin of action, who loves being in the company of other Elkrin, Runes, animals and humans that he trusts. He loves making new friends, and greatly dislikes being all alone.

This noble little creature is strong of heart, even though he is too young and naïve to know it yet. He is still a baby and is frightened by things he doesn't understand. He depends on his friends to be brave, and is very insecure. I suspect his wanderlust may stem from separation anxiety due to some past trauma, and he will need patience and careful conditioning to overcome this fear. What Osraige doesn't understand is that he has courage all his own, and when the time comes he will shine like a star.

Brice

Name: Brice
Origin: French name possibly driving from Gaulish meaning "speckled".
Gender: Male
Designed by: Jendalie
Acquired by: Winning Form
Themes and Inspirations: WIP
Musical Theme(s): WIP

Personality

"A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer,
a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure."
- Charles Chaplin

Brice is a spark in the dark night. He is fiery, passionate, and idealistic. Like most of his kind he is very quiet, but he is anything but shy. Outgoing, eccentric, and fun-loving, this Rune thrives on attention. A traveler at heart, with the soul of poet, Brice may at times come off as withdrawn, but that is merely because he is an introverted thinker.

Many find this particular Rune to be somewhat eccentric, no doubt caused by his solitary nocturnal existence. He's obsessed with night, dark places, bones, stars, and dreams. He's a predator, who lives by killing, so he feels a certain connection to life and death, and the dreaming in between. Many people and Runes see him either as a scary night creature, or else as a cute, fluffy toy, not realizing the very special gifts this Rune possesses. Brice is neither a scary monster, nor a cuddly plaything, though he does have the potential to be one or the other.

The Dream Spark is a very special Rune. They inspire creation, but Brice isn't a creator himself in the traditional sense of the word. He cannot draw or write, nor does he have any desire to do so. But like all his kind, this Rune is very inspirational. Brice finds inspiration in everything; a flower, a song, a grain of sand, the night sky, a cow in a pasture, an old boot, the sky, a question. For him, the world is a painting, a piece of poetry, a dance, and one can either add to it, or sit back and enjoy it. Brice is more the sitting back and soaking it in kind. He himself is not good with words, or drawings, or sculpture or most other mediums. Rather his passion lies in inspiring others, taking inspiration from them, and passing it on. He'll see a painting, and will appreciate every brushstroke; he'll taste a well-made chocolate cake and revel in it; he hears about some fantastic new discovery and goes to pieces with excitement. He shares that passion with everyone he meets, hoping his enthusiasm for life and wonder will touch others - and with a little bit of magic it almost always does.

It's been established that Brice is very eccentric by most standards. He leads a double life; destroying the fragile lives of tiny creatures – and inspiring the act of creation. This has made him deeply philosophical - a ponderer of life's infinite quandaries - and a bit touched in the head. Not in any debilitating way, but he can be a bit unstable. He dwells perhaps a bit too long in dreams and darkness, and needs more interaction with others. Brice is most certainly an introvert, and can happily keep himself company. If no one's around he will chirp and hurr and growl to himself, much like how some people will talk to themselves through their problems and questions. At times he cane get downright moody, and he tends to brood. He also displays some interesting quirks and interests. He is a little bit of a perfectionist, and can get very upset and frustrated if things aren't working to his favor. But he can usually recognize when one must throw up one's wings and abandon the effort. After all, art is never finished, only abandoned.

For one who lives surrounded by darkness and dealing in death, this Rune is actually very outgoing, kind, and humorous. Brice's attitude just screams 'Hey! Look at me!' He may be introverted, and solitary, but that doesn't mean he likes to be alone all the time. His magic drives him to seek out like-minded individuals, who want or need to be inspired, and he can connect to them on a deep level. Once he gets to know someone a bit, that's when his personality really comes shining through. Brice is very handsome, at least in his mind, and he's not above showing off for other Runes. Although, his style of showmanship tends to somewhat more reserved; he's not one for being in the spotlight, but much prefers working on the sidelines, where he knows his talent will still shine through. An intensely intelligent Rune with a unique outlook, it comes as no surprise that Brice has a sharp wit. Brice loves comedy, especially clever wordplay. Brice's sense of humor tends to be a bit blacker then other Runes, but he always thinks he's very witty when he's told a good joke. If no body else gets it... well, that's embarrassing.

Brice is a very empathetic Rune. Most Dream Spark Runes are. They can be swept into bliss by the notes of a beautiful melody, or a storyteller's haunting voice, or watching a dancer spin and twirl. Anyone who can appreciate such fine arts has a deep understanding and ability to connect with others, and Brice is no different. He considers himself to have very cultured tastes, and feels empathy for artists and innovators of all kinds. Even those who do not recognize the unique beauty of their ideas and dreams.
Brice also loves children and baby animals (Not that that stops him from eating baby mice and rabbits; a Rune's gotta eat after all). He is very good with them, and when he's around young Runes the playful, bubbly side of his nature shines through. With everyone else, he tries to stay cool and aloof, generally assuming a mediator role in the few groups he does join. By nature, he bonds very quickly and easily with most others. Deep down he craves affection, but is often unsure of the best way of showing it.

Brice is very afraid of what others might think of his ideas. After being given strange looks by some for the dreams and ideas he's created, he prefers not to share them anymore for fear of judgment. He's not one for giving you that sure-fire idea that everyone will recognize as pure genius and praise you for. The inspiration he gives takes patience and nurturing to have it's potential realized. It takes someone to recognize that yes, this is a good idea, and yes, I will work hard to realize it. Those are the inspirations he gives; slow burning embers of passion that need careful stoking to become a flame large enough to warm everything it touches.
But these aren't the flashes of genius everyone wants, and rarely do people or Runes recognize Brice's potential, which hurts him terribly. It also doesn't help that his eccentricities are often more disturbing then endearing. Instead, he tries to live a solitary, quiet life. Brice is usually very content on his own, but he does get lonely, and dreams up companions or playthings for himself. It's all in his imagination of course, but to this Rune imagination is the most real thing in the world.

Brice sometimes has trouble opening up out of his shell, and making new friends. If he's not careful he can be a little too outgoing and enthusiastic when meeting new people and Runes, and he's usually gotten a negative reaction from that, so he tries to hang back a now, until he's gotten a better sense of the situation. He can't really seem to avoid either of the two extremes; either being all over someone, or so anxious about being all over someone to the point of appearing shy and withdrawn. Not until he gets to know someone, can he be comfortable enough to be calm and still engaging.
Brice likes to help others realize their goals, by offering support and generating ideas. He can get easily frustrated by those who do not 'see his light', and will try various ways of getting someone to get up and start work. When he gets fed up with someone or something, Brice sometimes may give up quickly and spectacularly, throwing up his wings, squawking, and flying to the highest perch to sulk, sometimes even nipping at the Runes or humans who annoy him. In general, Brice likes to have a goal, a challenge, or a dream to pursue and he can become very sullen if he does not have a clear enough direction.

Brice is a tramp with sophisticated tastes. He's a solitary wanderer, who flies in and out of various lives, creating various stories, making lots of friends, but no family. It's always been him against the world. He enjoys the wandering life, but is always on the lookout for someone (or someones) who understands him. Brice often thinks of Dream Sparks as a little better then some other Runes, although he doesn't let that show. He would never look down on or degrade a fellow creature; not on purpose. But he does consider his tastes to be more refined then others. His tastes in music are better, and in art, and in other interests. Brice only thinks this of course; he doesn't want to offend any Rune and say they lack class. Not everyone can be, well, him.
