[Tamsin]

PC Name: Tamsin
Age & Sex: Newly-Fallen, Female
Reason for Being in Lhavit: She fell from the Ukalas on Summer 1, 511, into Tranquil Bay. Lhavit calls to her - something about it resonates within.
Things I Like to Thread About: I like animals, arcana (particularly shielding), shopping, discovering things (God knows I have a lot to learn, what with being so new to the world). I'm fine with combat, meeting people, boggling over them (while they equally get to boggle over me!)... Just please don't expect her to sit in a tavern. Philosophy, meaning of life and death, history, discussing the gods, lore, learning... Love it. But I like threading with 'real' characters that aren't perfect, that have their problems and issues and downs to go with their ups.
Things I Dislike to Thread About: Rushing everywhere and travel. There are roses to be smelled, don't you know. I don't mind travel and strolling within the city (far from it, I like it), but I don't plan on leaving just yet! I don't really like people who god-mode or insist on having their way all the time no matter what.
Additional Comments: Feel free to ask. I'm up for pretty much anything. Tamsin's a far cry from the suspicious and cynical and knowing and smart and snarky that people seem to love - she's naive and could probably be easily talked into accompanying a Symenestra who's harvesting, sadly. I tend to play her with a wide-eyed curiosity about the world and a belief that miracles can happen, even in a world that's as hard to live in as Mizahar. She genuinely believes she's back for a reason that Leth hasn't seen fit to tell her yet, but she wants to one day figure it out.

[Dor]

PC Name: Doryn Hardai Age & Sex: Three year old kelvic, female. Reason for Being in Lhavit: The stars. Things I Like to Thread About: Action, relationships, drama, comedy. Things I Dislike To Thread About: Tedious tasks, training. Of course, these are things I need to thread about so I welcome any ideas on how to make the writing of them more enjoyable. Additional Comments: Dor is still a relatively new character I’m awfully excited to play. I look forward to threading with ya’ll.

[Akari]

PC Name: Akari Ishida
Age & Sex: Female, 19
Reason for Being in Lhavit: Journeyed from Syliras to come home. Wants to become a Shinya.
Things I Like to Thread About: A good mix of things. Long threads with lots of character & plot development, every day stuff, a little combat, magic
Things I Dislike To Thread About: I haven't found anything yet. Though nothing too extreme (meaning torture and things)
Additional Comments: Akari was born in Lhavit. Her father was a Shinya but he was killed when she was 3. Her mother took her to Syliras to raise her away from the culture, but Akari found out and she now wants to make her father proud and become a Shinya like he was.
I plan on having Akari in Lhavit for the foreseeable future. I would love for her to become a full Shinya, so after her trial she will be returning and then staying here.

[Haeli]

PC Name: Haeli Twilight
Age & Sex: 18, Female
Reason for Being in Lhavit: Primarily, Caiyha sent me here because Lhavit needs a good local witch and my current assignment, the Gyvaka, was in balance. My secondary reason for being here is to study humans and learn how to be one as well as make some friends. I am looking for my family - where I came from - and there are clues that lead me here.
Things I Like to Thread About: I love threading about combat, arcana, learning things, and social situations. I like making friends and enemies equally. I'd love to find some close friends for Haeli, perhaps even a lover. I like kelvics and rping with them. And, I really enjoy unconventional people with shady or dark pasts, runaways, and folks who need help. I'd also like to start a network of business owners and professionals in Lhavit to support each other, maybe hold some secret meetings, and help out the city.
Things I Dislike to Thread About: I completely agree with Tamsin. I like parking a PC one place and building a world and life in that one place. There is plenty of adventure to be found in that. I really utterly dislike traveling around because frankly its tedious to me. Plus my PC concept is completely counter to any sort of wandering other than just to wander, park someplace new for years, then wander again. Also, I hate threading with cardboard conventional characters that are built so that everyone is supposed to like them because they are fabulous. PCs should have things to like and dislike in equal measures.
Additional Comments: I'm sorry my PC is a little strange. I've always wanted to play a truly inhuman human who has a feral side. She doesn't understand things - case in point the thread with Dor where Dor is telling her about slavery. It's nothing shes ever been exposed too. She doesn't understand lying or falsehoods. The thoughts to do so has never crossed her mind. Once someone or something can explain a concept to her in a way she can understand, she'll understand because shes not stupid, but she's horribly naive in the ways of men.

Also, why is mine so long? What's wrong with you people? Write more dirt on your PCs I can read.

[Aselia Timandre]

PC Name: Aselia Timandre Age & Sex: 26, female Reason for Being in Lhavit: She was traveling for the sake of traveling. Now she's settled down because she wants to do something meaningful instead of fleeing from one place to another. At the moment she's not sure what that 'something meaningful' is yet, but she's getting there. Also, she likes heights and that's why she's in the floating city. Things I Like to Thread About: I like to thread about anything that's exciting! Which includes action, adventure (no medicine anymore, please), romance, tragedy, drama, friendship or even rivalry. If it's exciting, I'll write about it. Things I Dislike to Thread About: My definition of boring threads includes small talk aka the stereotype tavern encounters, lack of character development and conflict (inner or with other PCs). Oh, and training threads without a story... they just read repetitive. Additional Comments: Aselia is on the younger half of the Timandre daughter spectrum, which means she is gullible and idealistic, although she probably doesn't realize it. She ran away from the discipline, lectures and past happenings in Mura and is slowly discovering that she doesn't know what to do with her life. Lots of space for character development! I'm always up for threads.

[Aiko Killian]

PC Name: Aiko Killian Age & Sex: Female, 18 years old Reason for Being in Lhavit: Born here, raised here, like it here, lhavit here. (I had to--it's funny!!)There's nowhere else I'd rather be! Things I Like to Thread About: People, art, animals, philosophy, religion, intrigue, romance, and lots of things. Things I Dislike to Thread About: I loathe, repeat, loathe weapon flailing and fake sparring just to get xp. Any thread that's done out of anything other than the fun of posting. I think xp and lore are great, but it should be about the writing fun first, last and always. Additional Comments: I still have that new pc smell, so I welcome all suggestions, comments and thread offers! Please Mod, if I dork something up, let me know so I can fix it!

[Eshara Aravell]

PC Name: Eshara Aravell Age & Sex: 55, Female Reason for Being in Lhavit: She is the Matriarch of the Dusk Tower, or she was when I rped her last . Things I Like to Thread About: Magic, Politics, and just general interaction with people. I like rping out combat and learning things as well. Things I Dislike to Thread About: Anything that includes excessive blood and gore, and sex. Additional Comments: I was inactive for a while, but I think I can come back for now. I can visit every day, but I won't be able to post more than once or twice a week, I think.

[Dhatzu]

PC Name: Dhatzu Age & Sex:18, male Reason for Being in Lhavit: Born and raised in Lhavit. Current purpose is to become a Shinya, like his mother and father, nut his desires are drifting from that lofty goal. He now ponders what aspects of Lhavit he is missing out on outside his structured life. Things I Like to Thread About: I enjoy social threads with some substance,deep conversations that reveal a character's psyche or challenges their thinking. I like romance and playing up sexual tension between characters. I would really like to have more combat/adventure threads. I would really like to get involved in larger plots whithin the city. Things I Dislike to Thread About:I I have had enough casual meeting threads that have gone no where. I have eventually learned that every thread needs to have some interesting twist. Stereotypical, perfectly balanced, "I am the epitome of evil" types, "I am the gods' gift to the male libido" types and anyone who smacks of a console game hero/anti-hero rip off are discouraging. Other than those gripes, I am pretty flexible when it comes to thread topics. Additional Comments: Dhaztu is admittedly still in development, with the help of some friends I have some plans for him, but it will be a challenge to make him the interesting, fun character that I want him to be. Having said that, anyone I thread with will be helping me to develop him. He is becoming discouraged by the rigorous and disciplined life of a Shinya acolyte, and his attentions are being distracted by his fascination in uncovering the darker secrets of Lhavit, driven by his devotion to Akajia and her mark upon him.
