He has seen a lot for his age and believes that fighting will prove to be the answer to the conflict between Magi and Humans. [*]On edge- Always appears a bit nervous[/list] [b][u]Skills/Talents/etc.:[/u][/b][list] [*]Mediocre swordsman- Despite his good reflexes, Levi is only a mediocre swordsman. Dike has been teaching him how to fight with knives, which he seems to take up a lot faster. The boy does seems to have some moral hestitation to take over the elder man's tricks and he won't be able to last long in a fight. [*]A great page- Knows what it is to serve like no other. Obedience has been drilled into his very being and has taken over most of his character.

He spend quite a few years as a page, serving a minor lord. When asked why he is no longer in that lord’s service and instead wanders the country with a group of bounty-hunters, he’ll stammer and blush without ever giving a better explanation than ’just because’.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Hilde] [b][u]Name/Alias/Title:[/u][/b]Hilde [indent]Mums[/indent] [b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] [img] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/f8/a6/5c/f8a65c18a5cde72d09f80d6e0ce2e6b4.jpg[/img] [b][u]Quote:[/u][/b] [i]The only thing left for me is my revenge and I will have it.[/i] [youtube]https://youtu.be/qhduQhDqtb4[/youtube] [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 27 [b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Female [b][u]Sexuality:[/u][/b] Heterosexual, used to be married [b][u]Race:[/u][/b] Human [b][u]Habits/ticks/quirks [i](etc)[/i]:[/u][/b][list] [*]Carries a small, dirty old piece of cloth wherever she goes, which presumably belonged to one of her children once.

She got married to a nice guy, had two children and lived an ordinary life. That is, until the day a group of Magi ransacked her village, murdering her husband, seven-year-old daughter and three-year-old son. Ever since then she has sought revenge. And found it, partially. Her main goal is to find the group of Magi that were responsible for the death of her family and make them pay.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Rich] [b][u]Name/Alias/Title:[/u][/b] Rich [indent] Richard Everpoor [/indent] [b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/07/b0/28/07b028ba682649ccb98f6ef419f37317.jpg[/img] [b][u]Quote:[/u][/b][i] I catch and kill people for money, so don’t expect any bloody sunshine and rainbows from me.[/i] [youtube]https://youtu.be/jPTDBIWvo5I[/youtube] [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 26 [b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Male [b][u]Race:[/u][/b] Human [b][u]Habits/ticks/quirks [i](etc)[/i]:[/u][/b][list] [*]Clicks his tongue whenever he doesn’t like anything [*]Down to earth and practical [*]Only drinks when he feels comfortable… Which, if it's true, means that Rich always feels comfortable.

By far the most experienced one of the group, but he doesn’t mind Ris taking control, especially since she often asks for his opinion. He doesn’t speak much about his family or origins, and nobody knows why he switched from being a regular bounty hunter to become a hunter of Magi. He does have quite a few fantastic stories from his time as a bounty hunter up his sleeve (which you should never take seriously).[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Romeo] [b][u]Name/Alias/Title:[/u][/b]Romeo [indent] James Eergoed, James Lovestruck, Love[/indent] [b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/05/bc/a1/05bca158aebfc6e0860fb35af8ceb252.jpg[/img] [b][u]Quote:[/u][/b] [i]She was all I had…[/i] [youtube]https://youtu.be/UYUKsRL-YBM[/youtube] [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 25 [b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Male [b][u]Sexuality:[/u][/b] Heterosexual, used to be engaged to a girl named Julliete (hence the nickname) [b][u]Race:[/u][/b] Human [b][u]Habits/ticks/quirks [i](etc)[/i]:[/u][/b][list] [*]Doesn’t talk or smile much, period [*]Carries charcoal and paper with him [*]Has a soft spot for Levi, whom he treats like a younger brother [*]Blinded by hatred [/list] [b][u]Skills/Talents/etc.:[/u][/b][list] [*]James can handle the crossbow like few others [*]James has a gift for making portraits.

He is still in a state of depression after the violent death of his fiancé Julliete (a prominent figure in the Merchant Guild of Elmend) almost a year back. He won’t talk much about his past and little seems relevant to him these days, the only time he seems to be alive is when hunting and capturing magi.[/indent][/hider] [hider=Dike] [b][u]Name/Alias/Title: [/u][/b]Dike [indent]Daniel Rank, Wall[/indent] [b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] [img ]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/48/d9/fe/48d9fe2350419ac984aac2a74076878a.jpg[/img] [b][u]Quote:[/u][/b] [i]I know I’m doing the right thing.

The only exception to this rule is when he’s on a job, when he can and will be very serious. [*]His left eye twitches slightly when he’s lying or uncomfortable [*]Hates responsibilities- While he is technically the leader of the group, he leaves all decision-making to Ris. He occasionally shares his opinions and advise and does take the final credit and responsibility for the success or failure of missions. [/list] [b][u]Skills/Talents/etc.:[/u][/b][list] [*]Planner- While he leaves responsibilities to Rid during the actual chase, Dike is the one who takes on the missions, hires a group and prepares the logistic aspects of it (food, transportation, payment). He sees Ris as his apprentice in this field and tries to involve her more and more. [*]Battle experience- Dike has the experience of 10 years spend in armour, which makes up for his progressing age.

This has started to change in the last few months, the weight of actual direct responsibility for people's lives has made her more keen to plan and think ahead. [*][u]Frequent smirk[/u]- Some might think her mocking everyone around her with her smiles and smirks. But she's just the type who prefers to smile and tuck away all her other emotions. [*][u]Dreamer[/u]- When she isn't on-duty, Ris often loses herself in thoughts. She likes to ponder philosophical and morale issues, but tries to ignore her own most burning questions such as; [i]Is it right to take justice into my own hands? Don't Magi have a sliver of humanity in them and if so, what would justify my judging them?[/i], since they only frustrate her. [/list] [color=7ea7d8][b][u]Skills/Talents/etc.:[/u][/b][/color][list] [*][u]Huntress[/u]- Ris is a skilled huntress and especially gifted with her bow. She knows how to track game (and other targets) and survive far away from civilization thanks to years of experience. She also has (although limited) skill fighting with knives but her forte most definitely lies in the long-range. [*][u]Perks of being a lady[/u]- Growing up in a prominent household, she received a good education (due to which she knows some things about topics ranging from history and economics to cooking and medicine) and has quite a few connections in other settlements. Her way of speech and how she carries herself tend to betray her upbringing and make it hard for her to blend in with commoners. [*][u]Violin player[/u]- There are few things Ris enjoys more than playing the violin, which she has been doing since age four. [/list] [color=7ea7d8][b][u]Likes:[/u][/b][/color][list] [*]Making- or listening- to music [*]Water- Rain in particular [*]Sweet food [*]The smell of pines and lumber [*]Target practice and hunting [*]A good discussion [/list] [color=7ea7d8][b][u]Dislikes:[/u][/b][/color][list] [*]Magi [*]Killing (without good reason) [*]Feeling ignorant- or being accused of ignorance [*]Hot weather [*]Presumptuous people [*]Alcohol- She doesn't dislike alcohol perse, but she cannot handle liquor very well and dislikes how it breaks her down so easily [/list] [color=7ea7d8][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Ris can be very unforgiving and she blames the existence of Magi for her personal losses, as was taught by her religion and upbringing and confirmed by later experiences. To her Magi equal untrustworthiness. She doesn't care much for her own safety, but feels all the more responsible for the lives of those under her command. Most people see her as a very serious woman with a natural authority, but when she's around friends, she can't help but smile broad and often and is always in for a joke. She can lose herself in a hunt or when playing music, which are the things that help her relax and unwind from her responsibilities. [/indent] [color=7ea7d8][b][u]Bio/History:[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Jeanne Christina Roussin is the daughter of high-priestess Sophie Roussin and former Fishermen Guild leader Charles Roussin. Most of her life has been divided into two aspects; She spent spring and summers with her aunt on mother's side in the wilds, where she learned how to survive and fend for herself. During these summer she also developed a strong sense of self and character and learned about the faith of Lemäika. Autumn and winters were spent at home in the town of Elmend, where she cultured more 'civilized' traits such as an appreciation of music, carpentry and the finer things of life. This dual upbringing was to prepare her for following in the footsteps of her father, to become a prominent council-member backed by the power of the faith. Her whole life had been planned for her but on Ris’ request her mother waited to play matchmaker and plan her wedding until her 20th birthday. A year ago, not long before her birthday, life as Ris knew it was disrupted when her father was assassinated (along with the burgomaster and a dozen other prominent council members of her hometown Elmend). A group of disgruntled Magic Users were behind the attack and plunged the town into turmoil. In the aftermath of this incident, the hate Christina had been taught to feel for Magi only grew and she happily joined a group that set out to hunt rogue Magi and bring them to justice. Her mother disagreed fiercely, pleading with her to become a priestess of Lemä or grasp this opportunity to demand a seat on the council. But Christina had set her course which resulted in a falling-out with her family, something that still haunts her. Half a year ago she left Elmend and hasn’t returned since. So far Ris (a nickname she soon started using rather than her given names) has gladly seized her freedom and the opportunity to travel. Her natural authority and cross-settlement connections soon allowed her to climb up to a position with responsibilities and some command within the loosely organised group of bounty hunters. For the past few weeks Ris has been leading a group of five others, chasing an infamous rogue Magi, determined to bring him to justice. [/indent] [color=7ea7d8][b][u]Equipment/Tools/Items/etc.:[/u][/b][/color][list] [*]Survival gear packed in a backpack (food, rope, flint etc.) [*]A small rowing boat she currently uses for transportation [*]Bow and quiver as well as two knives and her armour [*]A wooden pendant in the abstract shape of Lemä, a gift from her mother [*]Her violin (which she tends to store in a hidden compartment of the boat rather than carrying it around everywhere) [/list] [color=7ea7d8][b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Ris is a follower of the faith of Lemäika. She also has a long scar running down the length of her back and several smaller etched into other parts of her back, which she tends to hide under thick layers of cloth. [/indent] [/hider]
