@Lady Amalthea I couldn't help myself. It's Fyror (minus the scar)! I swear I've been inwardly fangirling over this character before I had ever really conceptualized him. Ken Bek is closest faceclaim I could find to match up to what I imagine Fyror looking like.

Submitted for approval, and my God have mercy on my soul for this.
Hale, Mary
full of grace
the Lord is with thee.
Name: Sister Mary Ignatia Hale, Dame of the Holy Order of St. Sylvester
Social Class: Clergy (Upper Middle Class)
Age: 22
Birthday: August 17, 1800 - Leo (Starting day of the RP is March 21st, 1823)
Nationality: Scottish
Birth Place: Stirling, Scotland, U.K.
Residence: Rooms in the Ely House, St. Etheldreda's Chapel, Westminster London
Gender: Female
Education: Divinity & Swiss Guard training in Vatican City, Rome, Italy
Income Source: Catholic Church, annual salary of £225 Sterling (or equivalent for country), plus expenses related to occupation.
Native Language: English
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 148
Build: Solidly athletic
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Red, wavy, past shoulder length
Skin Tone: Pale, some freckling
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Rough hands and feet from labor and physical training, knees and elbows show similar marking
Personal Style:
When not on the job, Mary prefers to dress in hooded white robes with patterned red trim, reminiscent of older Celtic styling (think White Mage). It also serves to accent her complexion and hair color, as well as conceal weapons easily.
She prefers otherwise to attire herself in a professional manner, in accordance with her Order: Long, fitting, black cassock with gilt laurel edges along the cuffs and high collar, double-breasted, but without the white collar insert. It is utilitarian and militaristic in nature, but still easily points her out as a dedicated member of the Church.
Always carries a particularly sturdy rosary. Plus a spare.
Sexuality: Hetero
Relationship Status: Bride of Christ (How’s THAT for an NPC spouse?)
Personality:
Dame Mary Hale (or Sister, as the Anglicans don’t recognize her position) is an extremely professional warrior for God and the Vatican (That's God first, Rome second). But she is also an inquisitive and healthy young lady with keen sense for detail. Sometimes, these two things fight with one another. This has led to a series of particularly interesting sessions at Confession for those Monsignors unfamiliar with Mary.
She truly wants to make lasting friendships, but her upbringing in the Vatican and transient nature of her occupation make that extremely difficult. She takes her vows seriously, and tends to speak with humble but blunt honesty; not because she likes shocking reactions from others, but because it was how she was brought up. Mary considers it polite and respectful, often not understanding why others take offense. Keeping one foot on Earthly and one on Heavenly matters has made her seem a little aloof, but in fact she’s just a little awkward. Even literal. Turns of phrase can sometimes confuse the headstrong papist. But sometimes, just sometimes, Mary would prefer to merely be one of the girls.
Then she goes to work. When taking direct action in pursuance of her assignment, Dame Hale becomes an unrelenting Agent of Our Lord’s Church, employing every resource at her disposal to root out and obliterate the Soulless. Oftentimes, if the concept of stealth has been abandoned, Mary will acquire a beautiful but terrible aspect to her eyes, then begin hacking and stabbing and perforating her enemies in a dervish-like manner, screaming and hissing biblical verses in ways that make pious mens’ feet sweat.
Generosity is a saintly virtue. Young Mary has gifts, and she means to share.
Habits: Mumbling in Latin when annoyed, rubbing her rosary
Hobbies: Hobby? She trains. Horrible, punishing exercise. Knuckle pushups. Fingertip pushups. Pullups in cathedral archways with buckets of water tethered to her belt. Unending series of forms in the catacombs in pitch darkness. Running in weights. Leaping through obstacle courses and abandoned architecture at a dead sprint. Her hobby is hammering herself into the tip of God’s sword here on Earth. And singing.

What Is On Your Person:
Residence:
Family History:
The Hale family had a long and prosperous history, led by a line of renowned Knights of the British Empire. In recent years, they have come under some decline, both in numbers and finance. It was hoped that the two male heirs would marry favorably and assist in this endeavor, possibly even bringing up the status of their people. In fact, such an arrangement was underway with a poorer family in the Peerage, landowners without the means to fully take advantage of their land's production.
Such a mutually beneficial set of pairings was not to occur, as a good amount of both families were laid to waste by a rush attack of Ryne in the small hours of the morning. It was during one of her brother's engagement parties. Very sad. She was still a child at the time. The Knightly Hale line was cut short, people that had served the with distinction now found their assets impounded indefinitely by the Crown.
Your personal life:
With no male heirs to inherit the family's estate, and women forbidden by British law of taking the title of Knight (Dame), Mary was sent to live with cousins. They were a merchant family that spent half of their time in northern France and looked upon their relative-by-marriage as something of a dutiful burden. Her higher placed heritage wasn't exactly a selling point for them, either. She was treated as something of a second class citizen in this family, looked after but otherwise largely ignored. A fierce anger grew in Mary, one which had no outlet. Relations were strained further.
They did do her one massive favor, though, even if they weren't aware. When she was barely a teenager, Mary was sent off to Rome for training. (read: To get her out of their hair) It was unusual for someone as young as she to take up the same kind of training as Priests and the Swiss Guard, but no sacrifice was too much for her new adoptive family (sarcasm font required here). The joke was on them, though - two days before the entourage reached Rome, a small band of Hraew ate her chaperones while she hid in the nearby woods. She stumbled into the Vatican days later, hungry and exhausted, papers of intent in hand.
As the years passed, Mary was raised under the tutelage of Papal scholars and Captains of the Swiss Guard. She learned anything that anyone was willing to teach her, even some of the ne'er-do-wells of Rome's underclass in her free time. Her long years there, much longer than the vast majority of English Gentry and/or casual trainees of foreign Clergy, afforded her the time to pursue dedicated training in a variety of disciplines. It also allowed her to apprentice under a series of Priests and Papal Knights, during which time she engaged in envious travel opportunities, learning even more and slowly forging her into a professional Hunter.
When she came of age, Mary Ignatia Hale was given an opportunity to return home to seek her fortune there, or to remain in the service of the Church. Her long standing history with the Vatican and unusual circumstances, not to mention the many people she had met and impressed gave her a further opportunity, if she so grasped it. If she became an official member of the Church, she was offered a position unheard of for someone of her age and lack of exterior plumbing. And she jumped on it, hard.
Mary took simple vows, making her a Nun in the service of the Vatican directly. A council of Bishops, with Papal nod, granted her permission to administer Sacramental duties, almost on par with that of a Priest. Immediately afterward (one would think it was planned), an offer was extended to Sister Mary Hale from the Holy Order of St. Sylvester, giving her further title of Dame within the Church. The Knights of St. Sylvester, in recent decades, had developed another, more provocative title among the general populous: "Soulless Hunters".
Now the equal of a Holy Knight of the Papacy, she was introduced to the Grand Cross of her Order (guy in charge), who gave her assignment in London at the Bishop Ely House, a manor in the Westminster district and one of fewer Catholic holdings left in Great Britain. A bedroom and study are at her disposal. She plies her trade there, sometimes openly and sometimes not, locating and hunting Soulless as directed or as she finds them. If cover is required, she is obstinately the Nun caretaker of St. Etheldreda Church, a chapel located on premises.
What you want for your life:
Mary wants what anyone else does: A sense of self determination and respect. She has climbed higher toward that goal than many women could ever hope for in that time and place. People who understand who she is and what she does know to listen when she talks business, despite her pretty face and reputably whimsical gender. Getting her family's holdings back would be nice, too, but she is unaware of how that can be done legally, if at all since her family is either dead or absorbed into other prominent lineages at this time.
Mostly, Mary wants to uphold her duties to her Order. One could say that they've given her another chance at a productive life. One could also say that the Church provided an opportunity, and she dug that opportunity out of rock with blood and her bare hands. Mary can feel a war coming between the living and the dead, and believes that it is soon. She intends to be ready.

"May you be struck down by his almighty swift sword!"
"I will have to spend some time in contemplation about this. Vigorously."
"The Power of Christ impales you!"
"In nomine Patris et fillii et Spiritus Sancti."
"Here endeth the lesson."
"...and I shall strike down upon thee great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
"And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skillful to destroy."
"Amen."

Cards On The Table
General Skills:
- The Sacrament - Knowledge of and permission to carry out duties of the recognized Catholic Sacraments, including blessings, purification, consecration, etc., as needed to carry out her duties. The higher ones (I.e. Exorcisms) or Sacraments of Service requires the petitioning of a Bishop (or higher), or the head of her Order for permission.
- Athletics - Intensive body conditioning has made for a very physically adept, graceful woman, often not as apparent under her vestments until it is too late.
- Blindfighting - Mary has taught herself the painful art of fighting in low or no-light settings. This was accomplished by years of late night training and forms practice, often in the Vatican catacombs.
- Stealth - Hiding/Trailing/Intrusion/Knife in the back; The wonderful art of not being noticed when you don’t want to be.
- Horseback Riding - She rides. On the back of horses. Seriously, does this need explanation?
- Church Etiquette - Knowledge of the Bible, Cannon Law, the Church, its structure and practices. She knows where to go, who to speak to, and the best ways to cut through bureaucracy.
- Pistols - Firearms of the one-handed variety, be they flint or the rarer percussion models.
- Singing - Her cover of "Ave Maria" will totally blow you away. She's that good.
- Short Blades - if it's sharp and shorter than a long blade, she's your girl.
- Ambidexterity - Right handed, left handed... Who has time to decide? Great for coordinating two items in either hand, as well.
- Language (Italian) - Spent a few of her formatives in Rome.
- Language (French) - Quite the cunning linguist, isn't she?
Trained Skills (Rome):

- Cibera - A martial art style that encompasses the use of a rosary as a weapon
- Audist - An art of wielding a Halberd.
- Obriss - The ability to bless items for other followers of the faith; a faithless gains nothing from a blessed item; blessed items wielded by those of faith carry additional damage to the Soulless.
What Is On Your Person:
- Clothing - Black cassock with laurel gilding (cuffs & collar) and wide cloth wraparound belt (described in “Personal Style”, above) covering black breeches, black knee-high riding boots, buttoned black shirt, white undershirt, and light corset.

HI!
So, umm... I can't read a map, as it turns out. I have Sister Mary Hale based out of St. Etheldreda's Church in Westminster, London. Turns out I got that horribly confused with another church, and I need to flip that around to Holbrook, in between the West End and Cheapside.
It turns out that the Church moved her smack dab into the middle of the developing Cockney community. Request permission for a CS change, ma'am?

I FINISHED!
Name: Jaques Clerc
Social Class: Upper Middle Class
Age: 37
Birthday: January, 1786 (Starting day of the RP is March 21st, 1823)
Nationality: French
Birth Place: Normandy, France
Residence: St. Peter's Church, Hampshire, England
Gender: Male
Education: Divinity
Income Source: £250 from the Church, annually.
Native Language: French {read and write}
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 71 kg
Build: Muscular
Eyes: Blue, Almond-shaped eyes
Hair: Black, straight, and can go to his eyebrows if not properly slicked back like it normally is.
Skin Tone: Fair
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Bullet-scar in side, two inches left of stomach.
Personal Style: Jacques is normally suited in rather luxurious clothing, wanting to look the part of what he would dub, the "modern" priest. The times were changing and so he would look the part, especially not with heavy robes weighing down upon him. A suit is all he needs in order to get by. Though he does use informal clothing on his off time, typically wearing old rags that have holes and the likes in them, but he does not care too much about what people think.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality:
Jacques is a stubborn man who will oft times get stuck in his own ways rather than admitting to his own faults, not that he wont eventually agree after years of persuasion. With that said, he is easy to embrace the change of the world, accepting innovations of all kinds. This change within how the world works tends to make him look forward to life, wanting to see how others will get along. That said, he distrusts people as he knows of their selfishness, only caring about themselves rather than doing the right thing and truly helping their respective communities grow and help those down on their luck.
This priest is, however, not one to hold his emotions down like the rest of the Church as he believes that is just unhealthy. Passion is the one thing he has, it is the passion towards God that he will refuse to give up as he would rather die than give into a different religion. With that stated, he does not tolerate other religions very well, or anyone against his morals for that matter. Jacques dislikes those who would be considered gay, heretics, and even other races from time to time. He is the typical man and he wishes to be nothing less.

What Is On Your Person:
Residence:
Family History:
The family has always been fractured to say the least. Jacques mother, Mary Clerc, was the standard whore who got pregnant by a rich aristocrat, luckily she stayed with his father, Jean Clerc, who so happened to have been born into the family business of plantation owning. The aristocrats that were Jacques' late grandparents had started the business and had seven other children, his father being the oldest child and thus all the inheritance, gave the estate to Jean when they became too old to really tend to it themselves.
Come the French Revolution in Paris, the family quickly fled the country with what valuables they could take with them in such a hurry, along with their children Jacques and Mercy Clerc. Upon arriving in England, the family was quickly met with distaste until Clerc was shot in cold blood, having been blamed for bringing the Soulless to the world. Naturally this did not go over well with Jean, who fled to Hampshire with his children. Mercy grew up the same way that Mary had, a whore, using her body to get money. Jean became a banker, using his previous wealth to raise himself to a status that he could comfortably live with.
Your personal life:
Jacques Clerc grew up knowing wealth was his friend, the very aristocratic ideals being pushed into him by his father. The concept of family being no that of everyone having dinner together, but instead tutoring your son how to properly extort people for money. Quickly, Jacques grew to have a distaste with his father until his sister, Mercy, was born which took the attention of him, purely. The family soon introduced Jacques to the Holy Bible, Jacques soon became enthralled, taking a natural liking to the book. The boy grew up living by the bible and going to a Catholic school. This school entertained him, helping his coup with his mother's cruel death.
There he let his wonder for the ancient stories wonder, letting them fester and only enrage his curiosity to the point where he went on a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem when he was an adult. He had escaped just in time to avoid any skirmishes between the English and French navies, luck aiding him on his journey. Upon landing in the holy city, Jacques set to work, retracing the journey of Abraham through the country, meeting many faces he would never forget. One such face was his now bitter rival, Enoch ben Raz, who was his spiritual guide along his journey, teaching Jac to keep the Soulless at bay rather than fight them head on. Later, he traced the journey of Jesus Christ, having help from an Egyptian man, Babafemi, who taught Jacques how to speak and write Egyptian as well as use some of ancient weaponry.
Upon returning to Hampshire with his family, Jacques decided to become a priest for the Church of England, finding it may help him in the never ending journey of life. However, upon visiting his family, he was greeted with sin as his father satisfied his greed of money, and his poor sister went about committing adultery time and time again. He grew cynical due to them, finding that most people only acted out of their own selfish intentions, he knew someday they would turn Soulless. The worst part is, he hoped that they did.
What you want for your life:
Later on, Jacques hopes to live a decent life like a normal person; being able to get married and maybe even have children of his own. He wants to grow up old with a family and to actually experience what a family should be like in his eyes. He also wishes to travel to the United States of America and study them, maybe there he will find that love that he wants, maybe not. Jacques will just be happy finding love one day, that rare thing that he believes every couple truly lacks.

Skin Tone: Fair
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Bullet-scar in side, two inches left of stomach.
Personal Style: Jacques is normally suited in rather luxurious clothing, wanting to look the part of what he would dub, the "modern" priest. The times were changing and so he would look the part, especially not with heavy robes weighing down upon him. A suit is all he needs in order to get by. Though he does use informal clothing on his off time, typically wearing old rags that have holes and the likes in them, but he does not care too much about what people think.
Psychology
Optimistic * Cynical * Loyal * Stubborn * Passionate * Dishonest
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality:
Jacques is a stubborn man who will oft times get stuck in his own ways rather than admitting to his own faults, not that he wont eventually agree after years of persuasion. With that said, he is easy to embrace the change of the world, accepting innovations of all kinds. This change within how the world works tends to make him look forward to life, wanting to see how others will get along. That said, he distrusts people as he knows of their selfishness, only caring about themselves rather than doing the right thing and truly helping their respective communities grow and help those down on their luck.
This priest is, however, not one to hold his emotions down like the rest of the Church as he believes that is just unhealthy. Passion is the one thing he has, it is the passion towards God that he will refuse to give up as he would rather die than give into a different religion. With that stated, he does not tolerate other religions very well, or anyone against his morals for that matter. Jacques dislikes those who would be considered gay, heretics, and even other races from time to time. He is the typical man and he wishes to be nothing less.

History
Family History:
The family has always been fractured to say the least. Jacques mother, Mary Clerc, was the standard whore who got pregnant by a rich aristocrat, luckily she stayed with his father, Jean Clerc, who so happened to have been born into the family business of plantation owning. The aristocrats that were Jacques' late grandparents had started the business and had seven other children, his father being the oldest child and thus all the inheritance, gave the estate to Jean when they became too old to really tend to it themselves.
Come the French Revolution in Paris, the family quickly fled the country with what valuables they could take with them in such a hurry, along with their children Jacques and Mercy Clerc. Upon arriving in England, the family was quickly met with distaste until Clerc was shot in cold blood, having been blamed for bringing the Soulless to the world. Naturally this did not go over well with Jean, who fled to Hampshire with his children. Mercy grew up the same way that Mary had, a whore, using her body to get money. Jean became a banker, using his previous wealth to raise himself to a status that he could comfortably live with.
Your personal life:
Jacques Clerc grew up knowing wealth was his friend, the very aristocratic ideals being pushed into him by his father. The concept of family being no that of everyone having dinner together, but instead tutoring your son how to properly extort people for money. Quickly, Jacques grew to have a distaste with his father until his sister, Mercy, was born which took the attention of him, purely. The family soon introduced Jacques to the Holy Bible, Jacques soon became enthralled, taking a natural liking to the book. The boy grew up living by the bible and going to a Catholic school. This school entertained him, helping his coup with his mother's cruel death.
There he let his wonder for the ancient stories wonder, letting them fester and only enrage his curiosity to the point where he went on a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem when he was an adult. He had escaped just in time to avoid any skirmishes between the English and French navies, luck aiding him on his journey. Upon landing in the holy city, Jacques set to work, retracing the journey of Abraham through the country, meeting many faces he would never forget.

@Lauder Okay, looks good. Only one main thing, under anything else you missed a small detail; double check the rules.
And one small thing - could you change to a slightly lighter color? That one is a bit hard to read, if it is a problem just let me know what color hex code and I can flip it out for you.
