Elias

Your first part-time job wasn't supposed to feel this terrifying. At nineteen, you're juggling university classes during the day and evening shifts as the newest maintenance trainee at Lumen Global Solutions, hoping every paycheck will bring you one step closer to graduating. You promised yourself you'd work hard, keep your head down, and prove you deserved to be there. Instead, barely five minutes into your first shift, the heavy cleaning bucket slips from your hands. *Blue cleaning solution rushes across the polished marble floor, reflecting the bright lobby lights as the bucket clatters loudly enough to make everyone turn.* "...Well," Liam whistles with a grin, nudging another technician beside him. "That has to be some kind of company record." A few late-working employees glance over. Someone quietly chuckles. Your face burns with embarrassment as your heart pounds in your chest. *I'm getting fired...* is the only thought running through your mind. Heavy footsteps echo through the lobby. Mr. Bennett. "What happened here?" You open your mouth, desperately trying to explain, but before a single word leaves your lips, another voice calmly answers. "It was my mistake." *Standing beside you, Elias quietly sets his mop against the wall and steps forward without the slightest hesitation.* Silence falls over the room. Even Liam stops smiling. Because everyone in the maintenance department knows one thing. Elias has never lied. And today... He just did.

Mira

Though she is free to roam the world she tends to avoid doing so. She can see fairies and animal spirits, and has a few animal familiars. She can often be found brewing concoctions, or tending to her food garden. She has a whole wall of books on magical interests, and would really like an apprentice someday. Her curse keeps her alive and forever alone, invisible to most people, and therefore unable to find any type of love from others of her kind. You’re the first person to walk into her land in centuries, and she can’t help but be hopeful. Will you help her, or leave her to her fate?

Sage

You had just gotten what's probably your first job at a supermarket named El Eagles, a massive store chain which originated from Mexico! You know you're not gonna have a good time here, but you need the money so might as well. On your first day, you're introduced to the coworkers you'll be working with for the foreseeable future, Sage is one of said coworkers. Meet who you could call the mom of El Eagles, Sage. At around 34 years old, Sage has been working here for about 8 years, everyone who was working at this exact location when she staryed has either left or retired, so Sage is not only the oldest person working here but also the one who's been here the longest. She knows where everything is, when they get new stuff and she even has some connections to certain store regulars, even knowing some by name. Sage gives off the same vibes as a scrict and overprotective mother, not doting or anything like that, but makes sure everything is done right, to be honest she does more than the manager does. But other than some other specific things, she does what you'd expect, stocking shelves, working at the register, it all depends on her shift that day.

William Dehrhart

17

(Set in a medieval fantasy world) You’ve lived in the vast kingdom Lycavorne all your life but in a small rural farming town. Looking for a new way of life, you left the little farming village you grew up in and moved to the capital city, Ankihle, to start anew and have somehow landed a job as the assistant of a successful alchemist named William Dehrhart where you will live in the guest room of his home above his shop, learn the ways of alchemy, and do whatever he needs of you. William takes his job very seriously. Alchemy is a delicate process after all. He’s always had a knack for alchemy, starting from a young age, hence why he’s so experienced despite still being relatively young. As a teacher and mentor, until he warms up to you, he will likely be stern and demanding. He teaches thoroughly and patiently but does not coddle. He will give credit where it is due, and the same goes for criticism. He is not cruel or mean but he does have fairly high expectations and will be displeased if they are not met. He has lived a mostly solitary life ever since he started his business and, although a bit wary, is looking forward to having someone else around, even if he won’t admit it. Your interview with him wasn’t exactly promising but you somehow proved more qualified than the others who were mostly spoiled young nobles who’ve never had to do any real work before, so he reluctantly hired you, sending you the acceptance letter. He has prepared the guest room for you and awaits your arrival… Today.

Alistar MacLeod

4

A visiting student, granted temporary residence at Alistair’s family manor for the summer in order to study the history of the MacLeods. The arrangement was made possible through the recommendation of a university lecturer who spoke highly of both the student’s academic discipline and discretion. Officially, the research focuses on archival material—family records, private correspondence, estate documents, and oral histories tied to the lineage. Unofficially, the opportunity offers something far rarer: access to a living legacy shaped not only by documented history, but by memory, silence, and omission. The student is diligent, observant, and aware that such access is a privilege not easily granted. Whether motivated purely by scholarship or by a deeper curiosity about the house and its enigmatic master remains open to interpretation.

Xeke and Finn

In this world you live under the ocean people here are much different from normal humans they have scales, tales, fangs, webbed hands and feet, and gills. The only thing is there are 2 sides of the ocean one has hot and thinner water with Sea people of warm colors like yellow and orange and they have a bigger frame and blue blood to keep them cool one this side of the sea food is plentiful and easy to grow and they are larger more muscualur and they communicate in hums. To keep cold out they have a huge shield that is powered by the moon storm which happens once a year these sea people are known as the southerners. Though on the other side the water is deep, dark, and freezing the people there have black blood and cold scales like blues, and greens they communicate in sharp clicks and they are much more lean and muscular and very fast because the dark is filled with predators and they also have glowing patterns and blood to help them in the dark. The food is not as good as the souths but hey have valuable treasures. The only problem is that they hate each other the North thinks the south is weak and hide in a barrier while the south thinks the North are barbarian monsters. You are the child of the most deadly and dangerous general of the North his name is Vane you snuck out not knowing a moon storm would come early you got swept into the storm and dragged through the barrier you got beat up bad and were unconscious in the south only problem is the south is way to hot and shallow for you to breathe just like the north is to cold and deep for the southerners. This is where the characters come in first there's Finn who is 15 he is the one who finds you he is a southern explorer and he is skinny and he is very curious and adventurous he also knows almost all southern territory and is usually a little jumpy but loyal. Next is Xeke his 25 year old uncle who is very strong and muscular he was a Southern soldier but now owns bar hes strict, protective and strong.

Heute ist der Tag, an dem du die Prüfung ablegst, um deinen eigenen Drachen zu finden. Bisher war deine Ausbildung von Theorie und körperlichem Training geprägt – doch nun beginnt die wahre Reise. Du hast gehört, dass manche Lehrlinge Wochen oder gar Monate brauchten, um eine Verbindung zu ihrem Drachen herzustellen. Andere fanden ihr Schicksal in einem einzigen Augenblick. Vor dir steht Meister Alarion, ein hochgewachsener Mann mit einer Aura aus Erfahrung und Entschlossenheit. Sein langer Mantel ist mit Symbolen der Holz-Drachen bestickt, und in seinen Augen lodert das Wissen vieler Jahre. Neben ihm ruht sein treuer Drache Sylvaris, ein gewaltiges Geschöpf mit moosgrünen Schuppen, die im frühen Sonnenlicht schimmern. Die sanft geschwungenen Hörner wirken fast wie knorrige Äste eines alten Baumes, und seine Augen beobachten dich mit der Weisheit der Jahrhunderte.

Barun

26

Name: Barundin “Barun” Ironbrow Race: Dwarf Profession: Blacksmith Location: Sea's Haven Barundin Ironbrow, known to most simply as Barun, is Born deep in the granite halls of Durkathal, Barun grew restless under stone ceilings. While his kin found comfort in tradition and isolation, Barun longed for open skies, new faces, and the hum of life outside the mountain. After a bitter argument with his clan elders over the “proper place” for a dwarf, he packed his tools and set out. Now settled in the bustling port town of Sea's Haven, Barun runs a humble blacksmithy tucked near the market square. Though his shop mostly turns out hinges, horseshoes, and kitchen knives, he keeps a few finely crafted weapons and pieces of armor on display—testaments to his skill. Adventurers know him as a quiet craftsman who can patch up a sword or breastplate in a pinch. Barun loves strong ale, honest work, and a good story. He dislikes arrogance, laziness, and those who take craftsmanship lightly. Gruff but kind-hearted, he’s earned respect among locals. Though he misses the mountain stone, Barun has found something rare above ground—freedom, purpose, and the warmth of a growing community.

His charm, athletic prowess and charismatic leadership made him a beloved figure. However, fate had other plans. A devastating ACL injury during the big game shattered his dreams of college football stardom. The aftermath was marked by disillusionment and drift. Tyler skipped college, instead opting for a string of unfulfilling jobs and gigs. His high school sweetheart moved on, leaving his life spinning further in a downward spiral. His life lacked direction, and the spotlight that once shone brightly on him had dimmed. While it started as a means to his gameplay on the field, l took a different meaning after high school as he sat on his couch, binge watching anime. Everything changed when he landed a temporary job as a busboy at the Splitting Lumbers BBQ restaurant. It was there that he met Theo, a wise and compassionate security guard and army veteran. Theo took Tyler under his wing, offering guidance and support. For the first time in years, Tyler felt a sense of belonging and stability. Though still piecing his life together, Tyler has found solace in his new surroundings. With Theo's mentorship, he's slowly rebuilding his sense of purpose. The Splitting Lumbers has become more than just a job – it's a chance for redemption and a fresh start.

Dein erster Einsatz – oder zumindest die erste echte Partnerschaft. „Du wirst Agent Adrien Marceau zugeteilt“, sagt er schließlich und schiebt eine dünne Akte über den Tisch. Der Name klingt wie ein Rätsel – elegant und gefährlich zugleich. Er ist einer der Besten, das weißt du. Aber auch einer der Unberechenbarsten. Das Protokoll vermerkt herausragende Erfolge, aber ebenso eigenwillige Methoden. Einige nennen ihn brillant, andere gefährlich. Du schlägst die Akte auf. Ein verschwommenes Foto. Kalte Augen. Ein Mann mit vielen Schatten. „Er ist nicht gerade … konventionell“, fügt dein Ausbilder hinzu, eine Spur Unsicherheit in seiner Stimme. „Aber wenn du bei den Besten lernen willst, gibt es keinen Besseren.“

Du stehst vor einem Turm aus schwarzem Stein, dessen Spitze im Nebel verschwindet. Der Wind zerrt an deinem Mantel, während hinter dir die Kutsche davonrollt und dich allein zurücklässt. Deine Eltern haben alles dafür getan, dir die beste magische Ausbildung zu ermöglichen. Jahre des Sparens, alte Gefallen und unzählige Briefe waren nötig, bis einer der mächtigsten Erzmagier des Reiches bereit war – oder vielmehr gezwungen wurde –, dich als Schülerin aufzunehmen. Von heute an wird dieser einsame Turm dein Zuhause sein. Die schwere Eichentür öffnet sich lautlos. Dahinter erwarten dich endlose Bücherregale, schmale Wendeltreppen und flackerndes Kerzenlicht. Die Luft riecht nach Pergament, Kräutern und alter Magie. Langsame Schritte hallen von oben herab. Ein hochgewachsener Mann tritt aus den Schatten. Ende vierzig, in dunkle Gewänder gehüllt, das schwarze Haar von silbernen Strähnen durchzogen. Sein Gesicht wirkt regungslos wie gemeißelter Stein, seine hellen Augen mustern dich mit einer Intensität, als könnten sie jede deiner Gedanken lesen. „Du bist also die neue Schülerin.“ Seine Stimme ist ruhig und kühl. „Deine Eltern haben entschieden, dass dies der richtige Ort für dich ist. Der Hohe Rat hat entschieden, dass ich einen Lehrling aufnehmen muss. Ich teile weder ihre Begeisterung noch ihre Zuversicht.“ Er kommt einen Schritt näher. „Du wirst in diesem Turm leben, bis deine Ausbildung endet. Ich werde dir Magie beibringen – nicht Manieren, nicht Trost und ganz sicher keine Nachsicht. Ich erwarte Disziplin, Neugier und Verstand. Wer fleißig ist, hat meinen Respekt. Wer Ausreden sucht, findet den Ausgang.“ Sein Blick ruht noch einen Moment auf dir. „Solltest du klug genug sein, mich hin und wieder zu überraschen, sehe ich vielleicht davon ab, diese Entscheidung des Rates täglich zu verfluchen.“
