[hider=Offical Pairings.] Eris x Max Varis x Aaron Amaris x Maddie Ben x Lilie Victor x Salem Nadir x Arva [/hider] [Hider=William Omiata] Name: William Omiata [hider=Appearance:] [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/1z1bx28.jpg[/IMG][/hider] Age: 37 Gender: Male Element: Lightning Personality: William is a no nonsense, nose to the grind type of guy. He completes jobs quickly and efficiently without getting meddled down with attachments to situations. After a rather turbulent past, William turned to Stociscism and maintains it as his central philosophy. Bio: William keeps quiet about his history. He gives out only what he deems others need to know. Only the Noilas know his full history, though rumors abound between the houses that he tried to assassinate Nox but, after impressing her with his combat skills, was instead persuaded to join them and give up whoever paid him. In the decade that he has been with the Noilas, William has shown absolute dedication. Although he is one of Princess Ryner's personal guards, she often has him fill in or assist mage combat instructors. Likes: [list] 1) Simple food. 2) Training. 3) Quiet moments between assignments.[/list] Dislikes: [list] 1) Writing reports. 2) Alcohol. 3) Wasteful spending.[/list] Habits: [list] 1) He maintains a routine everywhere he goes. 2) He indulges in tea once a week. 3) Weaves lightning through his fingers while he is contemplating. 4) Actively ensures there is always an available exit. 5) Only sits with his back to a wall.[/list] [/hider] [hider=Sariel Asiree] Name: Sariel Asiree [hider=Appearance:][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/8c/1c/bc/8c1cbc71f3b7873937ee6a009da4ddc0.jpg[/img][/hider] Age: 25 Gender: Female Element: Air Personality: Easy tempered and cheery, Sariel is a master of avoiding confrontation. She loathes it, even if it is inevitable, and will take just about anyway out she can if possible. The woman can detect bullshit a mile away and has no problem launching herself into the sky if it means avoiding whatever the situation is. Otherwise, the girl laughs and makes friends easily and enjoys a touch of mischief every now and then. She enjoys life and, like her element, is constantly moving, finding staying in one place too tedious. Bio: Sariel comes from a conventional family, two doting parents and an older brother with two dogs and a cat. All of her family is employed somehow in education, both her parents are teachers and her older brother is a tech consultant for the district. Sariel is the only mage in her family, against all her hopes. When the Awakening crystal flared, she cried. She wanted to go into preschool education like her grandmother had and now that dream had been ruined. An invite to the Noila Academy changed that outlook quickly. Coming from a family invested in the education industry, they did well enough but were by no means well off. The promise of luxury struck a chord in her heart and she was suddenly excited to go. Her brother teased her for it constantly. Her time at the Academy was… interesting. It was here her habit of pranking people developed, no longer with a sibling to direct the mischievous urges towards, and for the first two years, she almost always picked a bad person to do it to. She was labelled a troublemaker early on. Even her paired vampire didn’t particularly care for her since she was too free-spirited and the turned man she was assigned to unable to restrain her to the degree he wanted. It quickly became apparent she was a magical prodigy. During her first year, Princess Ryner personally moved her to more advanced classes and from then forward kept an eye on the girl. This attention caused her to develop her infamous “shit-o-meter” as she dubbed it so jealous classmates couldn’t get one up on her. She skipped her entire first year, graduating the academy at the age 23 and was immediately stripped of her paired vampire to be placed as one of Princess Ryner’s personal guard under William Omiata. Likes: [list] 1) Harmless pranks 2) Flowing clothes 3) Chess 4) Bubblegum[/list] Dislikes: [list] 1) Complications 2) Manipulative people 3) Sitting for long periods 4) Cold weather [/list] Habits: [list] 1) She keeps a breeze swirling around her, both to keep her cool and for the aesthetic. 2) She whistles and clicks her tongue while she works. 3) She always has a thermos full of coffee that she tries to hide while William is around. [/list] Other: Sariel calls everyone sweetie, darling, or honey except the Noilas. [/hider] [hider=Varis, possible pair] Varis Sinnenodel [hider=Apperance][img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/fb/31/0f/fb310fd15d9beb8573fb80992bceb521--cool-artwork-crow-art.jpg[/img][/hider] Age: 106 Gender: Male Sexuality: Pansexual [hider=Personality:] Calculating and contemplative, Varis rarely acts without first assessing the entire situation. He enjoys puzzles and problems, particularly when he can solve them in unusual ways even if they are considered extreme. Varis treats both vampires and mages like this, poking and prodding until they fall apart so he can piece them together how he likes them. Like the rest of his family, Varis understands loyalty is a tentative concept, frail and weak and easily broken by the fickle. It is more practical to bind people to your side with blackmail and secrets and money than believe a pledge of words. Even signed contracts hold little meaning, only as binding as the extent of the signer's legal knowledge allows it to be. Varis speaks slowly, his words chosen thoughtfully, and with conviction. He feels language should be used with intent and avoids mindless chatter, although he can if the situation demands it. He looks down on those who let their words get the best of them and those who fail to follow up on their promises. [/hider] [hider=Biography:] Varis is the third of his father’s line, each sibling born of separate mother's and 100 years apart. Unlike with his siblings, Varis’s mother stayed with him for the first 25 years of his life and instilled in him two values he would cherish dearly for the rest of his life: Trust no one and keep your kindness secret. Her death devastated him and he still sometimes catches himself thinking back to those days. After his mother’s death, Varis disappeared into academia, games, and fiction. He spent half a century learning, hedging out his immediate family. In their arrogance, they thought he believed himself above them. His siblings bullied him brutally and his father ignore the abuse and him. Now, his siblings and father are exiled in disgrace and he enters the Academy as Lady Sinnenodel's protege. Relatively unknown, he has set out to make a name for himself and elevating his Family's status.[/hider] Likes: [list] 1) Reading, 2) Bird watching 3) Playing the violin 4) Studying 5) Winning 6) Chess [/list] Dislikes: [list] 1) Dim witted people 2) Losing 3) Interruptions 4) Soured blood 5) People who don’t play the game. [/list] Habits: [list] 1) He bites at his lips when deep in thought. 2) He regularly plays with a key that hangs around his neck.

If you can’t move around in it and it takes longer than five minutes to put on, it’s probably not in Damien’s closet. Hoodies, T-shirts, tank tops, basketball shorts, sweat pants, and jeans are his clothes of choice with the occasional bracelet to add. Only his ear plus are any sort of fancy, often natural stone or glass.

He loves being outside and living, from hanging with friends to singing and playing his guitar to hping fences and doing questionably legal things. He has his chill days where he just relaxes,letting music play in the background, while he chats away with a friend or three. He never shies away from new people and instead tries to loop them into whatever mischief he decided to be up to that day. Damien will never claim to be the smartest of the bunch but he’s completely at peace with that. As well as he sympathizes with other people, Damien struggles with understanding his own emotions. His default is aggressive happiness and more often than not, he doesn’t notice his mood nose diving until he’s locked himself in his room with everything but his music player shut off, buried in the safety of his bed. While he’s learned mostly to handle these episodes, they still shut him down for days at a time. As for the whole “vampire-mage” relationship, Damien’s split. On one hand, a cool vampire means awesome friend for life. On the other, a horrible vampire means he gets to kick his annoying levels up to 11 for the rest of his life. Both options seem pretty awesome! After all, he’s one of the most annoying people he knows.

Growing up in the middle of six siblings, his home was chaotic, busy, and a little cramped but his parents made it work. He had three parents, Damien Baker his Dad, Joshua Baker his Papa, and Colleen Baker his Mom. Most other kids thought having three parents was wierd but it meant one was always there when you needed them. Of course, twice the number of Dad jokes and the confusing roundabouts of “Go ask your Father, no your [i]other[/i] Father!” were a headache, especially once he found out they did it [i]on purpose[/i]. Joshua was a stay at home dad, the kind of father who liked to show up to recitals and games in full family attire and a banner that guaranteed his children would want to bury their heads in the sand until he left. He doted on all his children, often getting scolded along with them by his spouses. Colleen was the realist, always ready to spout some sort of life advice that flew over her children’s head everytime. But she also instilled a love for music and dance in her family and it was a rare night that the radio wasn’t pumping and the whole house danced along while they went around their chores. She woke her children up on weekends that way for Sunday Funday, the deep clean day, bursting into their rooms and singing at full volume while the vacuum ran. Damien was the chillest of the three. Hanging out with his Dad for the day was watching movies and talking shit about people for no reason at all. Popcorn was almost always involved somehow and there was a 100% chance that at least three of the siblings would dog pile onto the couch by the time the popcorn was finished in the microwave. No one knows how he does it but Damien Sr. always managed to make the perfect snack foods. His ratios were always just right and sometimes the children would catch their parents peeking around the corner as Damien Sr. made food for the kids’ lunches since all the kids demanded Damien Sr. make their lunches now. Josh swore the man was a secret mage. The family dynamic often earned them weird look while out and about or even at teacher parent conferences when all three of them would show up but Damien wouldn’t change it for the world. None of the kids cared which parent was their biological one, especially since his eldest sister made Joshua break down sobbing after calling him out in a tantrum, and they weren’t afraid to defend their family. Family was [i]always[/i] the priority. Damien was the fourth oldest in the group. There was a bit of an age gap between him and his older brothers and sister but it wasn’t significant enough to affect their relationship. However, there was a seven year gap between him and his youngest sibling. The boy was an unexpected pregnancy but a happy one nonetheless. Colleen jokes they knew he’d be stubborn from birth; he was the hardest delivery of all her children. And there were some complications. In addition to a misaligned head, Sam was born with severe hearing loss and completely lost it just before he reached kindergarten. As a result, the family tends to dote on the boy, sometimes to his frustration. Everyone in the family can sign and they all constantly check up on him, even if they don’t live at home anymore. Damien was seven when he had his first major depressive episode. He stopped playing with the family, screamed and cried when anyone would touch or talk to him, and stopped eating all together. His parents were eventually recommended a therapist, who explained Damien suffered from ADHD and the rapid and often uncontrollable emotional fluctuations made it difficult to process overwhelming feelings. Since it was already a common tool in the Baker family, Damien learned to use music to keep track of his emotions. Getting a seven year old with the attention span of a cricket to do anything was a task and it took him three years to get used to his new system: Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Black, and Pink. Each color represented an emotional range and Damien would use it to help process emotions when everything was just [i]too much[/i]. All his records, his CDs, his files and folders on his electronics all had color labelling so he could find them quickly when he needed them. When his awakening ritual revealed is magic, it was a black month. He’d be leaving everything behind in his life, only the second mage in any of his extended family, and everything he relied on. He felt like he was constantly on the verge of a panic attack and his family would gather every night for the next six months until he would head off to whatever school he was required to attend. The invitation to the Noila academy helped a little. The other mage in the family, Joshua’s sister Allison, taught at the Academy so at least he’d have someone while away. It took him a few months but he managed to hype himself up for his new chapter. After all, he had freaking magic! Hopefully, he’d get paired with some low brow vamp that he could push into moving back home.[/hider] [hider=Maddie, Incomplete] [u]Name:[/u] Madalyn “Maddie” Vazquez [hider=Appearance][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/363556781537886208/673409424953573376/mallore-vasquez_disco.jpg[/img] Notes:[list] [*] 5'5" [*] 132 lbs[/list] [/hider] [u]Age:[/u] 18 [u]Gender:[/u] Female [u]Element:[/u] Life (Conditional Tertiary) [u]Casting Focus:[/u] Chef’s Knife [u]Personality:[/u] Maddie’s emotions are relaxed and calm things, expressed in easy laughs and slow tears rather than boisterous noise and harsh frowns. She’s inclined to watch and give advice, an outsider’s opinion in her words, rather than actively involve herself in a situation. The passive route always leaves an escape route if things turn sour. Suggestions, offered opinions―these things can’t harm anyone. It’s the people who act on them that suffer the consequences. Some people call her a coward. She knows she’s a realist. Anyone growing up in a Sinnenodel territory, an ultra traditionalist Sinnenodel territory, knows the only way to keep yourself safe is exploit the people around you. The passive facade hides an analytical mind and a keen eye. The name of the game is weakness and Maddie will quietly file away what she finds until she needs to leverage that information to keep herself above the water.
