[@Lo Pellegrino]Just read Faruqs sheet fully. To be blunt, I enjoy him a lot. You've got a...I wouldn't say Tolkienesque exactly, but a classical fantasy hero archtype in a world that isn't necessarily for such people. And to be honest, I kinda live and breath that stuff. I LOVE it when characters are wholly good but survive in a shit world that puts pragmatic and selfish thinking on pedestals. In fact, it's usually the kind of character I make. Jex is an odd one for me, so in any other RP our characters would be fast friends. He's also got a wholesome look about him too, to boot. You described him and his experiences in a believable, yet fire-side tale fashion. Good job, my friend. 
P.S. Thank you for reminding me of the war in your history. I'll need to add some of it to Jex's history too. 

[@idlehands]Gaela is a very endearing character, both in how you wrote her and in personality. I really enjoy characters/people who are dreamers, and pursue their passions. It's like two of the most admirable traits people can have. Her history isn't overly complicated, but organic, and nice to read. Plus I think we need more mages, and yours is a fine addition. She's lovely just like when I skimmed her earlier^^.
