[b]Name:[/b] Elyria Elis

[b]Age:[/b] 20 years old

[b]Physical Description:[/b] A beautiful young woman with long silver hair, emerald green eyes and a slender and highly flexible body

[b]Important items:[/b]
Arguably her most important possessions, the two double-bladed daggers she has on her are expertly crafted and expertly refined silver daggers given to her by her former master for her job and though she hates her master now, she keeps them to remind herself of what she truly desires.

[b]Short Bio:[/b] 

Elyria did not really remember much from her early childhood, the only thing that stuck in her memory was her master saying "[i]You and your kin will be very useful to me![/i]" before the rest blurred very quickly and any further memory vanished.

As years passed and her memory became clearer, she would find that the person who had said those words had become her and what was left of what he called her kin's master and that they all had become slaves, though none of the children there even remembered what their life before this was and how they had become slaves in the first place.

What was more surprising was that instead of training them in different menial tasks or selling them, he had hired skilled trainers and mages to teach them how to fight, how to survive and many sorts of magic, though many were more focused and combat more than anything else. She herself was trained by a few people, a few of them were spies that taught her how to be stealthy, a few more of them were (odd enough) foreign dancers that taught her to become flexible and agile. The last people to train her were several previously convicted assassins that in exchange for training her to be the best she could be with knives, daggers and short-swords, her master would use his influence and at least save them from being executed.

The trainings were harsh, especially with the assassins, who were forced to do this, but nevertheless, the training had paid off. By the end of her training, Elyria had become agile, stealthy and very skilled with daggers. Her kin had also become quite efficient in their training, be it simple combat with swords, to even many sorts of magic, yet none even bothered to question why this certain man was bothering to train them so hard.

Halfway through their training, they were all moved to one of the large estates their master purportedly held and were mostly allowed freedom outside their training, though they were not allowed to exit the estate at all unless their master gave them his express permission and for another year, nothing really changed, until...
In one of the days, during what would normally be their training time, instead of their trainers showing up, large groups of soldiers and some mages showed up armed to the teeth and surrounded the estate. The leader of these soldiers came up and shouted that their master had become displeased with them and so, they would all be killed as a result.

For a few moments, silence followed as her kin processed what was actually happening, but the soldiers did not wait for them and after a few seconds passed, pikes and swords were prepared, a charge was ordered and combat started. While Elyria knew that she was very skilled in combat, she would be killed by the vastly superior numbers of the unknown soldiers, so instead of outright combat, she opted to sneak out of the estate taking advantage of the battle that was taking in place in courtyard of the estate.

And as if by seemingly impossible luck, she was able to escape through the combat and find a dozen more of her kin close by and together with them, they were able to escape outside the estate, to find out that the estate itself was quite close to the city of Venedig.

So, all of the people there promised to one another that they would get their revenge for their fallen kin one day by trying to finding the man, their former master, question why he would do something like this and then finally killing him, though for now, they had to establish themselves in the city.

[b]Starting Faction:[/b] 
The Silver Daggers- The guild recently started by her and her kinsmen once they escaped the clutches of their master, named after the pair of silver daggers she received from her master during her training. Though they hide their past about their pasts, the members of the guild act as killers for hire, with each person in her guild having their own unique way of killing their target. 

Though they take jobs to kill anyone, they are not very willing to kill anyone that is directly associated with the city's government, or directly associated with the emperor as it would draw too much attention to them and possibly mean the end of them if their hideout is discovered.

Elyria and the faction's secret mission however, is to and has always been to find their previous master and to enact revenge for his senseless killing of their kin.

[b]Spell List:[/b] None

[B]Exceptional Skill List:[/b]

Exceptional Stealth x2: Elyria is quite a stealthy and light-footed character, her steps barely make any noise and to most people, she simply blends in with whatever's around, unable to see her, though a person with more acute sight or hearing may see or hear her.
Exceptional Dagger Combat x2: Elyria was taught at the order of the master she now despises to be taught to fight with knives, daggers and short-sword should the need arise and though she's decently skilled with the other two, her skills with the daggers are nearly top notch, though she knows that she still is nowhere near the skill level of her former master.
Exceptional Agility: Elyria's body is not very resistant, and as such, she has adapted to be very agile to dodge the attacks of larger and slower targets.
Exceptional Seduction: Though she does not like to use this certain skill very often, due to her pleasing physique, Elyria has learned on her own to seduce people, regardless of their gender to quite an advanced level, controlling their actions with her words, though at her current level of skill, she has to seduce her target once every two days or the effect will fade. Also, more strong-willed characters have a good chance of resisting her charms.[/hider]

[hider=Siegmund Holderlin]

[b]Name:[/b] Siegmund Holderlin

[b]Age:[/b] 54

[b]Physical Description:[/b] Though being in the latter years of his life, Siegmund carries himself with all the dignity befit of his family. He is a stout man with broad shoulders and somewhat thick arms. Though his hair and beard has become white from the dark hair he had before, his presence still demands all the respect that comes with his stature. Though his face has started to become old of age, many people still consider Siegmund still handsome in a stoic sort of way.

[b]Important items:[/b] 

Locket- Though not helping him in any, this item is a memento to remember the love of his life, the wife he had lost so long ago.

Dueling Gloves- Though again, not serving any other purpose than pure look, these seemingly indestructible gloves have never left his side, should a need arise to fight in combat.

[b]Short Bio:[/b]

The head of the Holderlin noble family, Siegmund from the time he was a child, he had despised his father and grandfather as they rested on the laurels that his great-grandfather had worked himself nearly to death to earn, but throughout the years, he simply watched his family waste away their enormous wealth while he planned for his time to become the head of the family, and when he did, the family took a very different path.

His fore-fathers before him had been opposed to the policies of the emperor and had nearly started rebellions by themselves in their foolishness, however he worked to do the exact opposite during his lifetime. As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he used all his political savy to aid the emperor as best as his wealth and titles allowed him to.

At one point, he even offered his own eldest daughter as wife to the emperor... and sure enough, the years he spent siding with the emperor had worked. He had accepted and now his own family was tied to Reich's own. However, unlike his parents before him, he did not stop there to rest on his laurels, all his life he worked to better improve the standing of his family both in the empire and in the eyes of the emperor.

To show that, he even aided the emperor with his own regular troops and with His Hunters, hunting down and assassinating those he could and defeating those he could either in combat or in duels. Even now after the rebellion, his spies work tirelessly to find out even the slightest trace of dissent and his Hunters work to put down anyone that might think of disturbing the Empire's peace.

[b]Starting Faction:[/b] 

[i]Die Kaiserjäger[/I](The Emperor's Hunters)- The Hunters were founded two generations ago by Siegmund's father, though during his and his father's time they were only called Die Jägers and served only as glorified bodyguards of his family and though they did more than a perfect job with this, for what Siegmund wished, he had to overhaul them, to expand their horizons.

During his time, he has spent large amounts of his earned wealth to train his old guards by professional soldiers and had them train a new generation of guards picked from the orphan children of the realm, nobody would miss them and with him raising them, they were bound to have their loyalty. These new guards however, served more than bodyguards, whilst some were trained as close quarter warriors, some of them were trained as mages and a few more of them were trained as spies to serve for his own interests.

However, when his eldest daughter married the emperor, in his honor, he renamed them to their current names and offered their services to the emperor to serve him as faithfully as they had served him. However, though they serve the emperor, they have not forgotten where their true loyalties lie, with their own master, the one who saved them from death.

Currently, he is using of his estates as a training ground for his newest generation of loyal bodyguards, mages, warriors... and hunters.

[b]Spell List:[/b]

Iron Body(Change)- This spell developed by himself to aid him in both protecting him and in combat turns the outer layer of skin of the user to something akin to iron offering both more protection and allowing the user to pack more of a punch than he usually does.

[B]Exceptional Skill List:[/b]

Exceptional Unarmed Combat x3: Though he could have as well learned to fight with weapons, Siegmund has always preferred to fight with his own to bare hands and all the training and the duels he fought throughout the years has honed his skill in combat so much that even with his bare fists he could punch through steel armor and through the flesh of an opponent even without his Iron Body Skill.

Exceptional Endurance: Though not as honed as his combat techniques, after all the punishment his body has received, it too has begun to harden so that he may better handle hits from other opponents.

Exceptional Diplomacy: Siegmund has lived most of his life in court and as such, he has become quite exceptionally skilled in his way of using words.
