ImageName: Amani Talviel
Age: 22
Race: Human
Birthday: 32 Winter, 489AV
Weight: 120lbs
Height: 5'5"

Character Description:
Amani is a rather slim woman of average height, standing only 5'5" at her tallest. Her skin is lightly tanned and smooth from taking good care of herself through her life, and also because she has a slight obsession with keeping her skin flawless through countless creams and lotions.She firmly believes that appearance is everything and so she tries to look her best at all times, whether it is a trip to the market or lounging in her home, Amani will not be seen in anything less than the absolute best. Her golden hair falls just below her shoulders and falls in gentle waves. She has no set style for it, but mostly wears it down out of vanity in hopes to make others jealous of it's beauty.A smile is worth a thousand words to Amani, and she can normally be seen with one on her face, a playful smirk that looks as if she knows more than you, and she most likely does. Her gray eyes see all in their stormy depths, always watching and aware of her surroundings. One can never be too careful around Amani.

ImageCharacter Concept:

Amani, purveyor of all things beautiful and lover of flattering words. She could easily be seen as a woman who is constantly on the lookout for something that will enhance her physical appeal, for perfection is everything in Amani's eyes, and Rhysol deserved the best out of his devoted followers. Trained in the finer arts of disguise and impersonation by her mother and father, Amani uses her talents to do as she pleases, all for the greater good in her eyes. It just so happens that the greater good benefits her own desires, for she is rather selfish and tends to think only of herself. There is no right and wrong to Amani, there is only a means to an end and doing whatever it takes to achieve that goal, and if she has to step on a few people to do it well......as long as she looks beautiful doing it then what does it matter?

While she may not seem like a loyal person, Amani is very loyal to the ones that she calls friends....or people that she finds useful. If a person is deemed worthy in her eyes they she will be more than happy to extend her friendship, or even more, to that person. Her moral compass may be jaded but Amani knows what she wants out of life and will use any means to achieve her goals, which is why she has dedicated much of her time to her training when she is not out shopping with her slave Neryl for beautiful dresses or trinkets that catch her eye, all for her costumes of course.

Amani also knows her fair share of betrayal, often having participated it in herself. People will inherently let you down, and Amani has taken this to heart and used it to her advantage. If humans are so susceptible to betrayal then why not just continue doing it? All things are acceptable under the eyes of Rhysol, and Amani feels that her god rewards those that are deserving, hopefully one day earning his notice with her deeds and actions. Amani would not call herself evil, just doing what is the true path in life, doing what is inherently natural. She actually has a quite a romantic heart which she has devoted to one person. Well two really. Rhysol and her lover Raenfae, and while she has the love of one, she hopes to gain the love of another.

ImageCharacter History:
Born into a power hungry family whose fanatical desire was to gain more contacts within the Black Sun, Amani was not given the luxury of being a child like most children. She spent most of her younger childhood being trained by her mother and father in the basics such as reading, writing, and mathematics, along with instilling a deep love for Rhysol within her. Up until the age of 9, most of her life was spent in constant study, except for the few treasured moments that she was able to go and play with the other Ravokian children while her parents may have been away. After her 9th birthday, her parents slowly began to submerge her into their darker aspects, molding her into what they hoped to be the perfect tool to help better their station in life.

Her father was a thief, a master of his element, and began to teach his young daughter the fine art of disguise, almost turning it into a game for the young girl. While some days were filled with many lectures and demonstrations, other days were filled with her trying to pick out her father in a crowd full of people. Sometimes she won, and sometimes she lost those “games”, but to a young child trying to learn and earn the love of her parents, those games were what she would look back on the most as her fondest memories. Also at this time her mother began to teach her more…”womanly” things, teaching her to appreciate the finer things in life and to never settle for anything less than the absolute best. Her mother was an ex courtesan, dismissed for getting pregnant with a child that was clearly not the nobleman’s that she was employed for, and she held a deep resentment for that. So while her mother played dress up with her daughter and taught her all about perfumes and makeup, Amani could also feel the deep bitterness that resided in the woman, making these lessons the ones that she tried the hardest to perfect.

Years seemed to pass by like this, their routine never ending it seemed to Amani, who started to wonder if this was what really life was all about, being a puppet to her parents. The moment that she shared this to her parents she received a bitter scolding and beating, both of them utterly denying her accusations before they dried her tears afterward, showing a loving side to her that she had never received from them before. Their actions confused Amani, not understanding what was going on, but she never brought it up again, instead letting it fuel the fire that seemed to be slowly simmering in her gut. She was 13 then, and shortly after this incident her parents came home with a young slave girl, Neryl was her name. The girl was only about 9 at the time, not that much younger in Amani, and the girl began to receive training in the less than savory arts that Amani was not trained in. This only added to the fire in her gut, for Neryl was to be more or less Amani’s aid, a tool to help her which in turn would help her parents. Resentment slowly started to build inside of Amani, and even though she cared for Neryl as if she was a younger sister, Amani was jealous of the sudden attention the young girl was getting from Amani’s parents, causing Amani to slowly withdraw inside of herself and hatch a few plans of her own.

It was about when she had turned 16, that Amani made her first debut to the public as a “wealthy” young debutant, her first real attempt at disguise. Amani had blossomed from the thin and gangling young girl, into a well rounded woman who knew how to get a man to come to her. She had watched her mother plenty of times to know what she needed to do to get a man’s attention, or anyone’s in fact, and with a carefully place smile and brush of her fingertips she found that she could get her way in most situations. This opened many a door for Amani, and helped her hatch her own plan to put her parents in their place. The resentment continued to fester inside of her, a slow poison that continued to spread throughout her body. Why should she continue to be the puppet in their petty games? She was a grown woman now, and was able to make her own plans and goals for what she wanted in her life. Why not better her own station instead and leave her parents in the dust? The idea was an appealing one to Amani , and so began the extensive process of bringing her parents down. They were not the only one with contacts, for Amani was well liked among the gentlemen community, and so developed a network of her own, slowly gaining information about certain investments that could quite possibly bring her parents to ruin if she played her cards right.

So she continued on for a few years gathering her contacts and feeding her parents information about certain businesses, letting them gain and lose money through her endeavors to make it seem like they were actually getting somewhere, while all of it was carefully planned out to the very end. When she turned 20, all of her plans had finally come to a fruition, leading her parents to financial ruin after several long years of careful planning and ear whispering. She had gotten her parents to invest into a failing merchant family, the Beumont’s, who were steadily failing. After putting all of their money into the business in hopes of it succeeding, Amani’s parents were now hopelessly bankrupt and unable to flounder out of the mess that they had landed in. Amani, being the socialite that she was, was at the Studio of Yae Varone, enjoying a beverage with a lovely young man, all of this planned of course. Amani had left specific instructions for Neryl to carry out, wishing for her to present her parents with the news of their bankruptcy along with a very specific bottle of wine and a letter she had written herself, its contents for their eyes only. The wine was poisoned, something that had required many favors to produce, but all of it worth it in the end if her plan went smoothly, and Amani was confident that it would.

After a few hours at the Studio, Amani felt it was time to head home and see if her labors had paid off….and to her utmost delight upon returning to their two story home in The Merchant’s Ring, her parents lay dead on the floor, wrapped in the sheets that Amani had laid out for Neryl to put them in. She ended up picking up the letter she had written along with the poisoned bottle of wine and headed upstairs to her parents bedroom, flinging the bottle out into the canal below and placing the letter into her mother’s dresser…well hers now. So to add the icing to the cake, with help from Neryl she flung the bodies into the canal below, watching them float away with a kind of spiteful glee. She had accomplished something that she had planned for years, a betrayal that she was quite proud of, for it had worked perfectly, and she was now able to get on with her own life. So after a few says of getting rid of things that she did not need and tailoring her mother’s clothes to fit her own form, it was like none of it had ever happened.

This was also the same year that she had met her lover, Raenfae. A man that seemed to ensnare her senses just as thoroughly as Rhysol had. They ended up meeting at a masquerade ball that she had managed to talk her way into through several of her contacts, securing her an invitation. This was the start of the beginning of her life, not knowing that a few years from then that the two of them would be sharing her home together along with Neryl, spinning plans of their own that they continue to do to this day.

ImageRelationships:

Name: Kalan Talviel
Relationship: Father
Current Status: Deceased

Kalan spent most of his life working as a petty thief in the streets of Ravok, with the occasional major job on the side. Kalan was born into a poor family, which caused him to turn to a life of thieving to help feed his family. Sadly, this couldn't keep the family together. His mother died from disease and his father then sold his younger sister into slavery, hoping that the money she would bring would be able to at least feed them for a little while longer. Unfortunately on his way home from the slave market, Kalan's father was mugged and killed, the money taken and the body left in the street. Kalan was left homeless and soon had to rely solely on thieving, and eventually was noticed by a guildmaster who needed more young minds to teach his subtly art. Kalan trained with the man, Daric, for most of his adolescent life and eventually was put into the position as Daric's right hand man. Kalan was given many luxuries in this position, including the home that he resided in and eventually raised his future family in in The Merchant Ring, but Kalan was getting restless and wanted to venture out on his own. He established his own ring of contacts, which focused on brokering information to nobles and the Ebonstryfe, along with his thieving jobs. The Ebonstryfe were willing to overlook his unsavory side job for the information that he was able to bring them, so long as he kept his nose clean and left no trace. One of his many jobs led him to meet his future wife, a courtesan of one of the nobles. The woman captivated him, causing him to spend many a night in her arms, until finally she became pregnant and cast out of the noble's home. Kalan took her into his own home, and they eventually married before the birth of their child. Kalan finally had enough influence and power by this time to do what every pupil does...kill the master. Daric's death was swift and neat, the body disposed of and all property and contacts were inherited by Kalan, already a respected man in the Ravokian underground. Little did he know that he would die by the hand that he had trained just as hard as Daric trained him. Ironic no?

Name: Malian Talviel
Relationship: Mother
Status: Deceased

Malian grew up in a fairly well established home, her father an established merchant and her mother was a madam of a brothel. Most would assume that Malian's parents would have a dysfunctional relationship, but surprisingly it seemed to work out just fine. Malian's father was gone for months at a time, taking her two brothers along with him while Malian stayed with her mother, training to take over her mother's position at the brothel. As Malian grew older, she was often sought by many of the patrons at the brothel, the young woman was quite the beauty and her charm bewitched many a young noble who frequented the brothel, many just to see her. Time passed on, and around when she was 17, her father and brothers were killed in a bandit raid along one of the trading routes, the news not reaching the two women until about a month after the incident. Her mother was plunged into grief, but ran the brothel as if nothing had ever happened, her demeanor slightly colder. Malian did not know what to do for her mother, and was soon approached with an opportunity to be a private courtesan to one of her frequent visitors. At the time, Malian had been seeing her future husband, the young man's wit and astounding looks capturing the young woman's senses...but she had to be able to provide for herself and so she took the offer, leaving her mother to deal with her grief in her own way and becoming a resident at the noble's home. This continued for a year or so, her real lover Kalan coming to visit her when he could in the night, savoring small amount of time that they were able to share together. One drunken night however resulted in her pregnancy, and caused the noble that she was employed with to cast her out on her own to care for herself and her unborn child. She eventually went to live with Kalan, marrying the man that she had really been in love with all along, and devoted her life to helping him with his information brokering and securing her faith in Rhysol, her outlook on life slightly bitter. With the birth of their child, she trained her in the art of being a woman, instilling the love of Rhysol within her daughter with a slight tinge of bitterness. Everything seemed to come full circle for her though, the betrayal of her own daughter the icing on the cake.

NoteI'm sorry, I plan on finishing this post, I just can't think anymore about it at the moment lol
