Brief Personality: Vivi is quite nervous most of the time though she's excellent at hiding that fact. She's quick to fight and even quicker to flee if she thinks she's in a situation that she can't fight her way out of. She keeps people at a distance, rarely letting anyone get too close to her. Though she's exceptionally distrustful of other people she often tolerates them to make trades for good and get things she needs that she can't provide for herself.

Background: Vivi was but a child when the war broke out, however, because her parents had feared such a thing they'd made sure to prepare and learn skills that would be of benefit in such a crisis. It is because of this that Vivi can hunt in the manner that she does and has many of the skills that she does. Her parents traveled frequently, bartering for goods much the way Vivi does now. When she was 16 her mother died of cancer and her father was killed by bandits not long after her 19th birthday. Since then she's traveled predominantly alone, only seeking comfort from her dog Nikita and her horse Gunnar. She isn't quite sure how old Nikita is, she only knows that he was more than likely an older puppy when she happened across him. She took in the dog only a few weeks after her father was killed for protections. Nikita is around 4 or 5 years old. Gunnar is an entirely different story. She bartered several tanned hides among other goods for Gunnar when he was a young colt. She raised him entirely on her own with the occasional troubleshooting from a particular young man (Bain) she often encounters in her travels. Gunnar is 4 years old as well.
Currently, Vivi is just outside of a village she frequents to trade some of the pelts she's gathered over the last month or so along with some other things she's made or acquired. 

Alone or with someone?: Alone mostly
Other: Vivi has a rather large black dog she calls Nikita that stays with her as well as a horse named Gunnar that she rides when traveling. She never strays far from her animals nor they from her.

Brief Personality: Bain isn't afraid to use his size or his abilities to intimidate people, he prefers to keep people at a distance and his appearance allows him to do this for the most part. He does occasionally indulge himself and enjoy the company of others but its a pretty rare occurrence. One might think of Bain like a rather large teddy bear, while pretty fierce looking and reserved on the outside he can be quite friendly when the occasion requires it. 

Background(Please reveal your current location): While Bain was a child when the war broke out he quickly found his place among the fighting. His mother and father were a wealth of knowledge of on survival from growing up in an exceptionally rural area. When the war finally came to a head and the true destruction began Bain's parents made their way back to the farm where his grandparents lived. He was raised there and instructed in the old ways of living. His parents still live on the farm, having hunkered down well away from most of the fighting. Bain found his own way, especially when as a teenager he began to change into something far from human. The older he got the more he began to change and he was quickly drawn into the melee because of his abilities. When he turned twenty-two, however, he realized it was time to go out on his own. Since then he has traveled with his horses and lived primarily on his own, selling and trading goods and using his vast knowledge in horse training to help others. He's currently on his way back to town to sell some of his younger horses that he's collected from their pasture land. 

Alone or with someone?: Alone currently
Other: Bain primarily breeds and trades horses though he does collect various good and items between the farm where he keeps his horses and town. His personal horses are two large Noriker horses; a gelding and a mare named Brann and Brenna.
