[@Raijinslayer] It looks much better. He's accepted. :)

Also, on the Cross'...

It's completely possible that Grimm is related to the Cross', though it could just be a strange coincidence. Maria won't like not knowing, though. 

Right now, the three most important Cross' are Maria Cross, Marcus Cross, and Jonathan Cross, all siblings, with Marcus being the eldest and Jonathan being the baby.

When Maria was young, she ran away from home after being told she was to be married to a distant cousin. She met Alfred [Alexander] (I can't remember if that's actually his last name so just pretend for now.) and had a child. It wasn't long after that that her brother, Marcus found her and reported back to their father. Their father, after seeing Criston decided to let him live but killed Alfred before the two's very own eyes. Maria went into shock and wouldn't utter a word as her son was ushered to her father control. It wasn't until she was told of the horrid things they were doing to Criston that she snapped out of it and went on well... full on Mommy rampage mode, harming Marcus in the process, leaving him with a rather nasty scar on his face. 

Running away with Criston, Maria stumbled upon an Academy under the direction of it's previous principal, the unnamed man, mostly because Maria won't tell anyone (And lazy GM is lazy.). 

Now, Marcus Cross and his wife, Lauren Cross are aiming to take control of all of Lavanya, using Jonathan and their children and nieces and nephews and any others they can get their hands on. The Cross Family line is long and old and majorly powerful.

[@Nytem4re] I actually really like him but his backstory presents some loose ends that need tying. With his background, there comes the possibility of a new nation for Lavanya which, if it is true, needs to be given to DP so he can put it onto the map for ya. I know the background mentioned an island, so one of the small islands?
