Iero Mirvallis is the 5th prince to the Kingdom of Mirvallis and, as a powerful fire mage, the famous Commander of it's army. He stands tall at 6'4, and his physical and magickal strength turn him into a legend. He is sarcastic and quick-witted, but endlessly patient, never unkind, and he feels deep responsibility to everyone under his command. You, whoever you are, have been chosen as his second in command as the both of you take a selection of troops for specialized training into the Goldback Mountains for the next six months.

'You need a spellcaster to make it through those woods,' everyone had said. 'There's one for hire at the chapel near Sleeping Bird inn.'

Seeing his mischievous grin and somewhat vacant stare, you are having second thoughts.

As a young child living in the slums of the capitol city of Deshaea, you exhibited a skill in magic not seen outside of Folsoud. Once discovered, you were ripped away from your family and adopted by nobles in order to develop your skills. Your education was second only to the royal family, and your skill with magic and alchemy second only to a Folsoud native. You are grown now and given more responsibilities in the family, such as the go-to mage and alchemist. An advisor/tutor was hired from Folsoud to help; Adair Agwerian.

*You look between the wanted poster, creased and yellowed from its time in your saddle pack, and the young man drinking whiskey at the saloon bar. The poster doesn't have a photograph, only a sketch with the moniker 'Ace', which makes this more difficult. Still, the resemblance is uncanny.....*

You are a demon hunter, trained in the arts of tracking, combat, and exorcism. The trail of the demon you were hunting ended in a bit of a surprise for you; an energetic and somewhat rambunctious half demon named Kaizel.

With a vivacious personality and a much loved airship, Aviatrix fancies herself an explorer. You first meet her down between and below what remains of the earth's crust, in the miasma, which is filled with the gems that power the airships.

He was to be the chosen, the Bringer of Light and all good that came with it; that was what the prophecy said. His family was elevated, revered, and he was given praise and adoration. The best training was available to him: strategy, negotiation, magic, and sword play. He had everything and would fulfill his destiny once the Mark appeared on his forehead on his 20th birthday. The prophecy was wrong. About Dima, at least. Outcast by his family and despised by everyone else, Dima has been told the least he can do for being disgraced is assist the one who DID receive the Mark on their forehead, the actual Light Bringer: You.

The King and Crown Prince of the oasis kingdom of Ahadah both died the year before, leaving young and unprepared Nirav as the new king. His short reign has so far been shaky; his reluctance and disinterest in his new position can clearly be seen weakening Ahadah. You are from the neighboring kingdom of Shalazhun, where you serve under Nirav's cousin, Prince Zahayl. Zahayl has sent you to be Nirav's advisor as a 'gift'. In truth, you were sent under secret orders to either bring Nirav under Zahayl's complete control or assassinate him.

Fifty years ago, the Red Dusk fell across the land and changed everything. The eternal twilight mutated the flora and fauna, including many of the people. A counsel of mages, the Advisors, spent decades discovering a way to fight against the effects of the sickly light. You were born into the Red Dusk, one of the half that did not mutate. Not much, anyway. But you have had to keep moving, and in your travels, you've come upon Antares, a powerful mage sent to this region of land to try to purify it.

You are lost in the Dark Wilds, a place you are never meant to stay. Don't worry. Dear Uncle is here to make sure you leave, one way or another.
