Durn wrote:Name: Czeslaw Caldwell
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Weapon/Skill: A wide variety of hand-to-hand combat skills and techniques along with the ability to wield daggers and small weapons. A large arsenal of sharp, miniscule weapons have been lined along the inside of his clothing, due to this, he has easy access to a weapon when it's needed.
Faction: La Nouvelle Règle
Rank: Noble
Personality: Czeslaw, commonly known as Czes, is a quiet, lonely child who commonly assesses the situation before acting. He usually thinks of others before himself, also giving him a thoughtful and kind personality which conflicts with his lonely self. Czeslaw is oblivious to many things, such as why others do things for others, and what their intention is. Although he doesn’t know the meaning of being helpful and kind, he does it anyways, since that was the way he was raised. He speaks carefully, making sure the person he is speaking to never gets upset. Although he is usually seen kind and polite, he actually has a very dark, scary, and threatening side as well. This side is usually only shown when he's insulted, or feels like he needs to teach someone a lesson or two. Due to past experiences, Czeslaw has abandoned all hopes of a happy, fairy-tale ending and has shown his arrogant side much more often than before.
Background: Czeslaw, the son of the Grande Advisor of Old King Edward XVIII, was born and raised in Terra Sainte as a royal and noble child. The sixteen-year-old is completely oblivious to the true intentions of the La Nouvelle Règle, for his family has tried to hide their vile intentions for quite a while. He was pampered by his family, even though he thought that the majority was completely pointless, for he had always believed that buying someone's trust and love through gifts was completely foolish. Czeslaw was home-schooled by a highly intellectual tutor, even though this tutor taught the most complicated of things, Czeslaw would understand it all, for his IQ was high above 145. He was a bright boy with a strong future. Although he was kind and polite, he was usually found inside of his room, studying, attempting to find out the meaning behind emotions and kindness. After years of study, Czeslaw gave up the search for the meaning of emotions. He had been through quite a bit during his search.

Czeslaw had begun his search for the meaning of emotions at the age of fourteen, when he began to actually like his father, who was overcoming his need to pamper Czeslaw. Czeslaw's father, Andrew, was a scholar and advisor of Old King Edward XVIII. He was a bright and intellectual man, much like his son. They both searched for the meaning behind emotions together, despite complaints by Czeslaw, Andrew continued to help his son, even though he believed in emotions himself. After studying together for nearly a year, Czeslaw had grown a somewhat reluctant, yet extremely strong bond with his father.

His mother, on the other hand, was not the same case. Czeslaw had rarely spoken to her throughout his lifetime, for she was a maid, and was unable to speak, or even make contact with Czeslaw, much to his dismay. This infuriated his mother, Andraelita. She had grown with envious rage as her husband was able to converse with Czeslaw, and eventually lost her mind, much like Old King Edward XVIII.

One morning, Czeslaw found his father's brutally murdered, lifeless body on the cold, stone floor of the Terra Sainte Cathedral's utility closet. His father's stomach was ripped open with a sharp object, blood had been splattered all over the walls of the room. Small trails of slobber were leaking out of his father's mouth, his unseeing eyes were stained with tears.

Czeslaw had abandoned all expectations he had for this twisted world, not knowing what to do anymore. Although his life was now in an even bigger knot that it was before, he even continued to act polite towards others, and appear as friendly towards the general public even though he had also abandoned all hope aimed towards having a bright future.

Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Weapon/Skill: Archery and Swordswomanship
Faction: La Nouvelle Règle
Rank: Lady
Personality: A hot-headed, quick-tempered girl, Lily walks with a high air of authority, as if she was born to lead. Most of the time, she saves Czes from mortal danger, or from doing something stupid, which happens quite often. Agile as a cat and snappy as a box turtle, Lily's acting makes her most suited to be a higher-ranked member than most.
Background: Born into nobility, her father a Sir, her mother the previous Lady, Lily was always separated from both her mother and her father, due to the work they had to do. Lily's father, Sir Larsen, stressed assertion in everything that he taught her. Lily's mother, Lady Marionette, stressed kindness and an open mind. With these two conflicting ideas, Lily became a mess, and eventually just exploded into a monster that neither parent wanted.

Disposed at the young age of 13, Lily sought out vengeance. But her parents continued to live on, no matter what job they were given by the King. Lily became more and more frustrated with her parents when they scolded her, and one evening, in mid-lecture, Lily blacked out. Anything else that happened that day was unknown to her, but when she awoke, her parents lay before her, blood splattered all across the ground. Lily's own hands felt sore and bruised, they were tainted with blood as well.

Ever since that day, Lily blamed herself for murdering her own parents, to which she regretted fiercely. She wanted them out of her life, but killing them was out of the question, she would have never done it with a conscious mind.

At age 16, Lily, over her grief, decided to take her mother's place as Lady Serene. Lily did not like her given name, however, so this became an object of argument. The argument was never resolved, and Lily to this day holds a grudge against the one who mentioned her given name was more suitable with the title than her surname--Czes.

Masquerade wrote:Name: Alexei Giroux
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Weapon/Skill: A sword called "Perpetuel Cauchemar". The sword is called so because it is rumored that those who bear witness to its potential in battle and live are plagued with intense nightmares for the rest of their days.
Faction: Le Symbole d'Espoir
Rank: Administrator
Personality: Confident in his abilities, Alexei remains defiant when it comes to following orders. He prefers to do things his own way and makes it quite evident. A frigid air surrounds him and sends shivers down the spines of others. His presence on the battlefield is often an omen of bad tidings for the opposition. Battle and blood are his two loves and feels as if those two things complete him. He won't hesitate to take a life as long as it serves an ultimate purpose--to overthrow the current government that is tormenting the people of Terre Sainte. Neither cheerful nor angry or depressed, he countenance retains a projection of indifference to the world around him, except in battle when his calmness shatters to unleash a terrifying grin of delight at the thought of death.
Background: Alexei began his life in a less prosperous area of Terra Sainte. His parents, Joseph and Catherine Giroux, were both becoming less rich, in the beginning. Joseph was a carpenter and Catherine was a seamstress. When Catherine became pregnant, the two were far from ready to have a child, and Catherine was even ready to have a "mishap" in order to avoid giving birth to a child, only to have his or her beginning to take place in such a time in which their funds were decreasing. People just didn't have use of a carpenter at the time...or a seamstress, for that matter. Of course, as time went on, Joseph's business went up along with his wife's and eventually, they were making good money again as they had several months ago. It was with great pleasure that Catherine brought her new son, Alexei Giroux into the world.

However, after several years, Catherine became ill. Doctors from all over came to examine her, only to find that there was nothing that could be done. Joseph was distraught and kept Alexei away from his dying mother in an attempt to protect him from her unknown sickness. At the age of 2, it was hard for Alexei to object to his father's wishes, and thus he went on with his life in normality as his mother passed away. Joseph fell into a deep despair and his business started going down. Catherine had been saving money, though, so Joseph relied on that for a little less than a year before it dried up. After that, Joseph knew that he had to move on...for his son. With renewed endeavor, Joseph's business skyrocketed. Many people were requesting him for repairs to their homes and he was even creating his own signature style. By the age of 8, Alexei felt pride in his father for growing so much. In admiration, Alexei began travelling with his father on commissions in hopes of learning the trade of the carpenter. Unfortunately, after 2 years of studying under his father, he realized that carpentry was just not for him.

At the age of 12, when things began to appear hopeless in his life, he met a man named Phillipe Lefauvre who was adept with a blade. Walking down the street one day, the young Alexei bumped into this man by mistake, lost in his daydreams. The stranger's blade immediately garnered the boy's attention which was the start of Alexei's new life learning the way of the sword. Drawing the blade, Phillipe performed a few moves for the boy, seeing as how he was in awe at the mere sight of the weapon. Gathering courage, Alexei expressed his desire to learn swordplay. With a gentle nod, Phillipe accepted and Alexei became his new apprentice.

For 4 years, Alexei trained in near isolation with only his new teacher as company. Joseph had consented to the training--seeing the smile on his son's face pretty much won him over. The first year was focused upon physical training. Through a series of trials and daily exercises, Alexei became slim and agile while building a bit of muscle as well to power the blows from his sword. The next 3 years focused on technique, and after a while, Alexei began to develop a technique of his own, much like his father developed his own style of carpentry. With the ferocity of the training, his own personality changed to become fierce as well, and a change in his apperance followed that. By the end, Alexei emerged as a talented swordsman and returned home, leaving behind a proud master.

When Alexei returned home, he found his father in ill health. He had been overworking himself to the point of exhaustion. With an iron will, Alexei kept his father from work and forced him to relax. However, Alexei's efforts were only rewarded with the death of his father. He had been too late. Doctors determined that his organs had not been strong enough to sustain the workload and failed. They left Alexei alone to wallow in utter depression. He was not allowed to grieve for long, for the whole of Terra Sainte changed with the veering of the king's mind into insanity. As a result, the prosperity known by the citizens of Terra Sainte vanished, and only misery reigned. An anger beset Alexei's being and he immediately began to seek a way to rid his home of the foul creature that had been sane seemingly yesterday. His efforts were rewarded this time, though, and he found Le Symbole d'Espoir who had similar hopes as he had--to cleanse Terra Sainte of the taint of the monarchy.

Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: (The one with the black hair.)
Weapon/Skill: Archery and First Aid
Faction: LNR
Rank: Whatever is available.
Personality: Terrance is a quiet young man. He prefers to be on his own, flying solo most of the time. He doesn't have many friends, because of a critical case of social anxiety. He is usually found lounging in the comfort of a nearby tree, or seated by a rushing river, taking in the serene beauty of nature.
Background: Terrance grew up in a poor village. Nobody around had much money, especially his family. Because of this, he would find ways to entertain himself, which led to his love of nature. He would usually play by a nearby river, or in the woods that surrounded the village.

When Terrance was five, his parents decided to send him to a school in the village. There, he demolished the grades of other children at his level. His IQ was ten-fold higher than the others, which allowed him to skip a couple of grades. Being a young child in a higher grade, he was made fun of easily.

He ignored it, doing his own thing and not caring that the other children said. When he was thirteen, he graduated from school with the highest grades the school had ever seen. Because he had so much free time on his hands, he would practice Archery in a nearby field. He would practice First Aid as well, always wanting to help others in need.

Ever since, he has mastered the ways of Archery and First Aid, easily being able to kill off somebody miles away, or fix a bullet wound.
