Masquerade's Character Chronicle

A mature, older woman, her voluptuous form is covered with a skin tight black leather outfit designed to increase the flow of mana within her. Her eyes are a blazing crimson and her hair is of the same color. Her figure is very athletic and slim; agile, yet pumping with power. She keeps her hair loose and hates to have it tied up. It's long and goes down to her lower back with some strands resting on her shoulder and going down her front. Her expression is typically indifferent, other times enraged. She looks fierce in battle, but is a quiet soul at rest.

"The man that had left the back room...was just as odd-looking as his assistant. He wore the standard clothes of a baker: fancy white shirt, nice white pants, white apron smeared with dough, etc. His hair was brown, chaotic in nature, and went down to just around the middle of his neck. On his face he wore a mask shaped like the wings of a butterfly, orange and gold and black in hue, the patterns and colors similar to that of a monarch butterfly." ~Excerpt from Tales of Alidaire: The Struggle

"At that, he removed his hood. What became visible must have been startling: the figure beneath was not a person. The head was that of a serpent, and his reptilian eyes were yellow with slitted pupils. He smirked, revealing two large fangs with an assortment of a few other sharp teeth within his mouth. On top of his head and running down his back were fine feathers, a dusty brown in hue. They were so fine, they almost looked like fur or hair of some sort." ~Excerpt from Tales of Alidaire: The Struggle

Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 120 lbs.
Nationality: French
Manner of Dress/Other Details: He has fairly tan skin and short silver hair of which he keeps styled in a manner that most of it is spiked back save a few loose bangs. Sweet hazel eyes and a dashing smile correspond nicely to the sharpness of his face. He prefers to dress formally, but not all the way. For example, most of the time, he'll put on a nice dress shirt and pants, white and black respectively, but neglect to don a jacket or tie, and he ditches dress shoes for black or brown sandals. As a distinguishable trait, he has a tattoo on his left upper arm of a black heart wrapped in red thorny vines.
Personality: A sly, smooth-talking gentleman, he's used to getting his way with his words. A good man at heart, he doesn't abuse his verbal prowess for manipulative means, but it certainly comes in handy in some occasions. He's quite inventive and imaginative. With those traits, it only makes him that much more dangerous.

Venase is a tall woman garbed completely in loose black garments that cover her armor which only covers her body. Her long, slender legs can be seen when she walks, pushing past the cloth that hangs down past her waist. She wears an exotic clawed gauntlet on one hand while her other remains free and dainty. The look in her face is innocent, yet there's an appeal about her honey-colored eyes that makes her seem sweetly dangerous. Her facial features aren't sharp nor are they plump, but more evenly rounded with a smaller nose and a cute mouth with subtle lips, pale in color which contrasts her much dark skin. Also juxtaposing her dark, flawless skin is her long flowing white hair, messy, yet beautiful and lusterous, flowing down her back like a waterfall. She carries her trusty masamune at her side with her shield on her back. She used to favor heels in battle but now dons her enchanted shoes which allow her to teleport about easily.

Tall with long, wavy/curly brown hair. It looks awesome. 'Nuff said. Green eyes, a little dark underneath. Creepy teeth. Black graphic t-shirt with electric blue and purple designs. Dark blue jeans. Converses. A digital watch and silver chain bracelet on the left arm. Fingers are covered in rings, two on the left hand and three on the right. Heartless insignia tattoo on my left bicep. Trenchcoat for additional awesomeness, black in hue. Don't ask me where I got it. Okay. I stole it. That's all you need to know.

A rather short boy, he's often seen clothed in a plain red shirt with light brown shorts. He's a fan of socks and sandals, and he always has a black cloak draped over himself, for it was one his mother made him for good luck in his attempt to become an adventurer. His hair is of medium length throughout, a bit spiky and jet black in hue. Crimson eyes grace his visage, sharp and calculating--very mischievous. His skin is only lightly tanned from days out in the sun. Another distinguishing trademark of his is the kerchief he likes to wear about his neck while traveling, despite the weather not really calling for a need of that sort of thing.

A fairly tall young woman wearing a spotless white blouse and a black jacket. No matter the weather, she prefers to wear red skirts--short when warm and long when a bit colder. She keeps everything she needs with her in order to travel in a hefty brown backpack. Upon her feet she dons fancy, black boots. Her clothing and appearance are quite well-kept. Her skin is soft and creamy white and long raven hair cascades down her back and over her shoulders. Her crimson eyes are sharp and calculating, and perhaps a bit mischievous at times when she's not worrying over the happenings of her life at the time.
