Here are some new character profiles! [center]***[/center] [b]Father Dara[/b] [b]Age:[/b] 23 [img]https://i.imgur.com/hVOe8AL.jpg[/img] The quiet but supremely gifted Protector of Warband Seraph, Dara's ethereal might was frightening. It was whispered throughout the halls of the Seminary that he possessed the deepest and most potent pool of ether among all of the current trainees, and had enough skill in manipulating it that it was said that he could hold an aegis indefinitely. Unfortunately, Dara struggled in all other aspects. He suffered from severe mental and emotional deficiencies, and had extreme difficulties in physical combat, war strategy, and academics. If not for his terrifying skill in ether, and if Mother Indira had not taken him under her wing, he would have left the church long ago. As the only other graduate of Mother Indira's Circle of Summoners, Dara had pursued the mastering of this art obsessively, both because he believed it to be his sole purpose for living and because he claimed to feel a strange kinship with the demons of the Black Glacier. When Dara disappeared, it not only broke Indira's heart, but also enraged her to no end. This boy, who she had mentored and shepherded for most of his life, had in all intents and purposes betrayed her. Dara's current whereabouts are unknown. Several inquisitors have been dispatched to hunt him down, as he poses a great danger to the empire. None have been able to find him thus far.

Once the "shining star" of Warband Seraph, Magnus was talented in both ether ability and martial skill, but the young man's keen and sharp intellect was what really separated him from the pack. Continually placing among the top-ranked trainees in war strategy milestones, Magnus was as capable a trainee as they came, so much so that he often complained of being bored within the Red Seminary. To relieve his so-called boredom, he delighted in torturing younger pupils both physically and emotionally, claiming that he was in fact helping them with their training. As the favored pupil of Bishop Aleksandre, who once served as the head of Varya's inquisitorial force during the Lanostran War, Magnus' extracurricular activities were often swept under the rug. After an incident involving Mother Ziotea which saw him suffer grave injuries which he would never completely recover from, the former star of Seraph was forced to vacate his spot in the Seminary and was instead transferred to the Holy Academy within the Great Basilika, where he excelled, all while seething with hatred at the young woman who ended his dream of serving as an inquisitor. Magnus, despite his age, has recently ascended to the office of divine vicar, which now affords him some authority over the invasion. He recently departed for the land of El aboard the ark Durandal, and now strives to bring the wild continent to heel.
