Built into the cliffs overlooking the Suvan Sea, Riverfall resides on the edge of grasslands of Cyphrus where the Bluevein River plunges off the plain and cascades down to the inland sea below. Home of the Akalak, Riverfall is a self-supporting city populated by devoted warriors. [Riverfall Codex]

The Riverfall Amphitheater is a large terraced outdoor facility that hold a new act every 7 days. The amphitheater follows the guidelines of planting where ever possible and is not only surrounded by trees and plants, but is filled with grass and even trees inside the arena. It is in the shape of a semi-circle, with 30 terraces. Each terrace seats about 50 people.

The amphitheater has a different act every 7 days, known as the 7 Cycle to the employees. There are 4 groups that perform an act every 7 days. After those 7 days, the next group goes, and so on. Each group learns something new while on break, being sure never to perform the same act twice keeping things fresh, new, and exciting. Acts usually last from the 19th bell to the 22nd bell. Some can go on longer and some can go on shorter depending on the act and if the audience screams for an encore.

The Amphitheater while never hiring new staff or groups provide a variety of shows to please all. Each group performs at least twice a season. A large attraction to the Riverfall Amphitheater is the drama group that perform a different play every time their 7 Cycle comes around. Another well sought after act is the circus styled acrobatics group that performs exciting tricks that make some people cringe. All groups are listed below.

The Drama Group


 
About
Image The Drama Group is a group of 8 that promises to please the crowd with exciting and action packed plays every time they perform! They come up with their own play and act ideas, scripts, and characters. The band of 8 have never received bad feedback and always leave the crowd hopefully wanting more. They have been brought up in the business by their parents, families, and even friends. They put passion in their work and it definitely shows.
 
Jenna
ImageName: Jenna Skysearch
Race: Drykas
PoB: Endrykas
DoB: 26 Summer 486AV
Skills: Acting: 65, Impersonation: 10, Disguise: 5, Socialization: 5, Instrument (Harp): 15
Description: Jenna Skysearch stands about 5'7" and has golden blonde hair along with grey eyes. She has a pale complexion that goes with her slim figure. She is thin and seems fragile but that is not the case. Jenna is extremely compassionate about her career and likes to get to know the character whom she is playing pretty much jumping into their shoes. Jenna is a people-pleaser and strives to do exactly that; please the crowd.
 
Keenaye
ImageName: Keenaye
Race: Akalak
PoB: Riverfall
DoB: 16 Autumn 345AV
Skills: Acting: 35, Bodybuilding: 40, Weapon (Longsword): 20, Socialization: 5
Description: Keenaye is a large Akalak that stands at 7'3". He has violet hued skin with golden tinted pale eyes. He has black hair that is accompanied by small strands of silver from age. Obviously, he is quite muscular and he does not receive that in theater. Whenever it's not the Drama Group's seven days, Keenaye can be found working out and training for Riverfall somehow always finding time to practice. Unlike the rest, Keenaye doesn't take his job as serious as the others. Nonetheless, he provides a fantastic performance on stage. Like all Akalaks, Keenaye's dark side is Geehan who (when dominant) plays darker roles than his lighter brother, Keenaye, would. Keenaye has somewhat followed Dirian, but in a more respectful way, using his profession to gain the ladies and try to find a mate.
 
Ariyah
ImageName: Ariyah Oriol
Race: Konti
PoB: Mura
DoB: 38 of Spring 474AV
Skills: Acting: 68, Impersonation: 39, Disguise: 20, Painting: 10, Socialization: 10
Description: Ariyah is a smaller Konti only standing at 5 feet. She has pale almost white hair with her skin closely mimicking the same colors. She has extremely pale blue, almost silver like, eyes. Ariyah, after being abandoned and left to be raised by her false aunt, grew up with a theatrical influence on her life. Her aunt was a serious actor know greatly around Mura and surrounding areas. Ariyah was brought up with this same seriousness in the profession as well. Though young for a Konti, Ariyah takes this career extremely serious. Every day she is honing her skills by training and practicing in the mirror and often getting complete strangers' opinions. This extra work definitely shows on stage as she is one of the top actors out of them all. Her gift allows her to heal animals.
 
Dirian
ImageName: Dirian Bloodhunter
Race: Akalak
PoB: Riverfall
DoB: 77 of Winter 335AV
Skills: Acting: 26, Bodybuilding: 45, Wilderness Survival: 20, Teaching: 20, Socialization: 8
Description: Dirian stands at a good height of 6'9" and has pale green/gold eyes. He has dusky brown hair that is always chopped into a mohawk. Obviously, he has a good muscle tone and is lean. This athletic appearance of course means that he is athletic and much like Keenaye, Dirian's first job isn't theater. However, it isn't fighting either. Dirian is a fitness and training expert. With this being said, he isn't a doctor but rather someone to go to when you need help with training, losing weight, and getting healthy. After sometime of health and fitness however, Dirian soon found himself wanting a new hobby. He ran across an opening at the Amphitheater with drama and decided to try it, introducing himself to the arts of theater. Because of being new to it all, Dirian isn't the best actor but he definitely isn't the worst. Dirian's dark personality is Druniar, who particularly tries to avoid the Amphitheater until time to perform. Dirian uses this as a way to try and win over possible mates to help his race continue.
 
Grams
ImageName: Teena (Grams) Cornwall
Race: Human
PoB: Syliras
DoB: 68 of Spring 444AV
Skills: Acting: 80, Impersonation: 50, Disguise: 50, Socialization: 20
Description: Grams is a short lady standing at 5'2". Grams has silver/white hair with green and blue eyes. Grams is a very thin and fragile woman with practically no defense. Nonetheless, Grams is a wonderful actor onstage, and a wonderful person offstage. With that being said, there would be no reason for anyone to bring any harm to her. Grams, for the most part of her childhood, had dreamed of becoming an actor. With hard work and dedication, that became possible as she played in small acts whenever available. Over these long years, she has definitely gained some skill and is probably the best actor out of all of them. When the first opening for the Drama Group opened at the Riverfall Amphitheater, Grams was sure to take it.
 
Mckenzay
ImageName: Mckenzay (Last Name Unknown)
Race: Inarta
PoB: Unknown
DoB: 16 Winter 496 AV
Skills: Acting: 20, Observation: 10, Socialization: 5, Cooking: 5
Description: Mckenzay stands at 5'4" and obviously has flaming red hair. She has blue eyes with a slim but curvy figure. Slight freckles adorn her nose. Mckenzay took her acting career up when she escaped from a group of secret slavers when she was eight. She would often act like she was someone else to try and escape the memories. Though she never fully succeeded, she found that she was a good actor and even her makeshift family thought so after they took her under their wing. She is dedicated to the job as she believes a part of her life is tied to it. Though not one of the best in the business, she is a great actress being new to the actual business. Mckenzay usually prefers to stay hidden away outside of Riverfall considering she doesn't fit in well at all, only to emerge when needed or for show time. However, sometimes Mckenzay takes breaks from the show life and travels away for a bit, only to be replaced by another person.
 
Iric
ImageName: Iric Flarkstone
Race: Akalak
PoB: Riverfall
DoB: 49 of Summer 493 AV
Skills: Weapon (Broadsword): 45, Acting: 20, Socialization: 10, Wilderness Survival: 5
Description: Iric stands at 6'9" and is definitely more on the thinner side in regards to muscle mass compared to other Akalaks. He has jet black hair with silver toned eyes. With that being said, he is, however, skilled in a broadsword and is often seen practicing when off the stage to prepare to defend Riverfall in anyway. However, when on stage she is passionate for this extra hobby that developed after seeing a few plays. Though not one of the best, it is apparent that he puts a decent amount of effort into it, being a good actor overall. Iric, of course, has a dark personality that takes over. His dark side absolutely hates the hobby but does it anyways. This personality is named Reanek.
 
Jey
ImageName: Jey Wardlaz
Race: Konti
PoB: Riverfall
DoB: 67 of Summer 445 AV
Skills: Acting: 15, Impersonation: 5, Disguise: 5, Bodybuilding: 2, Socialization: 5
Description: Jey is a larger Konti, standing in at 5'10". Jey actually does training and fitness and is muscular for her race. However, she definitely doesn't let that get in her way of acting. Her past had no influence on her choice to try and begin acting. Instead, she somehow came about it on her own after reading a few books in the library. Because of this, she is new to the business and has few points in acting. But, she is still determined and it usually gaining new points. Jey is more of a backup or understory for one of the main female roles. Jey was raised by her mother, whom she soon left when she could fend for herself.


The Acrobatics Group


 
About
Image What do you get when you cross ropes with extremely flexible and egile people? Acrobatics! This is a special and full-out highly desired group by those who visit the Amphitheater normally. The Acrobatics Group features true freaks of nature considering their levels of flexibility and new tricks every time they perform! This group has a total of three incredibly talented members who perform with so much enthusiasm and pride that you'll be gripping the edge of your seat, wanting more.
 
Rachel
ImageName: Rachel Skytaker
Race: Drykas
PoB: Endrykas
DoB: 37 of Winter 475 AV
Skills: Acrobatics: 70, Juggling: 20, Running: 20, Busking: 10, Dance: 25, Socialization: 10
Description: After living for quite some time in Endrykas, Rachel made her way into Riverfall looking for new beginnings. After an encounter with a Glassbeak, Rachel couldn't handle it's crazy life style and eventually found herself in Riverfall. Rachel had always been flexible since birth but every day she would test her limits, slowly going further and further to the point she could curve around and bring her head in between her legs. Rachel after arriving, soon began working on other techniques and flexible ways. After a few years of this she soon began working on aerial techniques in many different ways. After this, she was soon at the point where she could perform in the streets. After performing in the streets she was able to corral four other extremely flexible Riverfall citizens and she formed the group, soon applying for the position at the amphitheater only to later begin working on juggling. (Bonded to Jace).
 
Kyle
ImageName: Kyle
Race: Akalak
PoB: Syliras
DoB: 90 of Summer 432 AV
Skills: Acrobatics: 56, Locksmithing: 40, Running: 20, Bodybuilding: 20, Socialization: 5
Description: Kyle is a larger Akalak standing at 7'5". His hair of course is jet black and he has pale grey eyes with golden irises. Kyle is muscular, there's no doubt. The Acrobat tricks usually keep in good shape and ready for anything. Despite looking it and being in acrobats, Kyle is not extremely flexible. He mostly uses the trapezes and does extreme aerial stunts and surprising flips. Kyle was born flexible, but took a somewhat different path in acrobatics working with flips and jumping from place to place. Every time he would practice a jump he would see how far he could go and every time take it farther and farther. However, performing his skills in the streets was surely not a way to earn a living. He soon became an apprentice for locksmithing and got to where he could run it without his master being there. When the opening at the theater opened, he jumped on it. Now he is only a locksmith when he doesn't have to train or when it is not his 7 Cycle. Needless to say, he will still peform on the streets but not for money. More of a chance to find a mate.
 
Jace
ImageName: Jace Pawrun
Race: Kelvic (Cat)
PoB: Ravok
DoB: 6 of Spring 506 AV
Skills: Acrobatics: 60, Running: 20, Juggling: 10, Wilderness Survival: 10
Description: Jace's height is around 5'4". He has slit yellow eyes and sandy brown hair. The Kelvic is thin in human, mirroring his true self along with the ability of being extremely flexible. In cat form, he is the size of any regular street cat. Jace's fur color is calico and even then retains his slit yellow eyes. He is on the thin side for a cat. With that being said, his ribs show slightly. Jace had always been flexible and after being seized in the streets of Ravok after shifting, he was soon caught and thrown into the breeding pens only to soon be mistaken for a female by an Akalak and brought to Riverfall afterwards. Once ordered to shift, the Akalak of course awkwardly let him go. Jace decided he needed something to do now that he was a long way from "home" and finally decided to stay after being taken in by Rachel who then helped his training even more. (Now bonded to).

When being himself, he has golden fur with a large darker mane. His golden eyes are still present. He is 4 feet tall from the ground to his shoulders and is about 10 feet long. Irion picked him up at Ravok and they instantly bonded. Their bond is more of a brotherhood like thing than anything else. Leaum is the lion that Irion rides when in the show.

He still has all of his animal traits and prefers hunting over being given food.

She has golden fur with tints of tawny brown along with black dots to go with. Skye, like the other Kelvics, was picked up in Ravok by Irion. Though not extremely muscular and large, she is fit.

She prefers for her food to be brought to her and rarely hunts.

Rae is a Clouded Leopard Kelvic only about 3 feet long with a sandy colored fur with darker shades of stripes on her neck and patterns that adorn her fur. Nevertheless, she can perform amazing tricks. Rae, despite their large size differences, is more of a lover to Irion than anything. It developed while traveling shortly after their bondage. Having the largest canines out of all of the Kelvics in proportion to her body size, Rae has been known for her disk catching trick. Several disks are thrown and she can run across branches thrown across two platforms and catch every one of them before they hit the ground.

The Singing Group


 
About
Image Introducing the lovely man and wife duo featuring Bianka and her husband Likan. Singing together and doing some parts solo, they come together in the end finishing a great show. Each are extremely dedicated individuals bonded together for as long as they live by marriage and their Akalak son.
 
Bianka
ImageName: Bianka Steelstrong
Race: Konti
PoB: Mura
DoB: 32 of Winter 480AV
Skills: Singing: 60, Calligraphy: 40, Socialization: 20
Description: Bianka is an extremely pale Konti that is an average of 5'6" tall. She is thin but has nice curves. She has pale blue eyes with pretty much white hair. Bianka arrived in Riverfall around 500 AV looking for a new relationship for she felt it was necessary to help try and expand a dying race. She soon found Likan and their relationship blossomed instantly. Soon afterwards, they both found a hidden talent. They could sing. They soon decided to sing out and about through the streets together just to sing. Soon afterwards, Likan proposed to her and she of course accepted. It has taken a while for Bianka to concieve but she the proud mother of a three year old Akalak son. Bianka is extremely dedicated to her singing career and usually has more time to put into it with Likan raising her son most of the time. Bianka writes most of the songs.
 
Likan
ImageName: Likan Steelstrong
Race: Akalak
PoB: RIverfall
DoB: 49 of Spring 467 AV
Skills: Singing: 50, Mining: 30, Running: 20, Socialization: 10
Description: Being a relatively young Akalak, Likan doesn't have too much muscle to show but it most definitely still is there. He has lost quite a considerable amount due to the time he has spent raising his son. Likan stands at 7 feet exactly and has silvery eyes. Likan takes his career seriously but not as serious as he would like to for he now has more responsibility. Needless to say, he somehow manages to squeeze at least half an hour of training his vocals for his wife and another half hour of exercise. Likan used to be a miner for a local jewelcrafter but once his son came along he was forced to set it aside, now solely relying on the Singing Group. He hopes to someday get back to the job.
