Winston walked into the Fairfax ruins, his arms up in the air to signal he was unarmed. The raiders hidden in the surrounding buildings quickly emerged, from their hiding spots, signalling a friendly entrant. "Maybe this time they wont screw me' Winston thought to himself. Two of the masked raiders came approached him, their stench making his nose quiver. They patted him down, checking for any hidden weapons. taking the bag he had slung over his shoulder, they dumped its contents onto the floor. Hundreds of bullets poured out of the sack onto the floor. 'Unappreciative mongrels' Winston thought to himself.
The raider's signaled back further into the shadows of the buildings until another one emerged from a building to Winston's left. He carried a small metal box engraved with a large S encased in a ruby like shape. The raider approached Winston and handed him the small box. Unhinging the small latch, Winston opened the box and checked the contents to make sure it was what he paid for. Nodding his head he shook hands with the raider.
"If you guys get your hand's on anything else you think I might be interested in, I'll be happy to do business with you again." Marcus said turning around heading back out of the ruins. He heard the raiders gather the bullets back into the sack and scatter back into the ruins.
'That could've gone a whole lot worse' Winston thought to himself. Making his way further out of the raider campsite, Winston further inspected the contents of the box. Inside were 3 small canisters with small plastic tips. Old faded labels read "Butane". Picking up the canister and giving it a good shake, he could feel the gas inside. He smirked as this specific group of raiders had screwed him in the last two trades he'd made. Walking further out of the city, Marcus found the bush under the make shift road sign sticking on the side of the road. He'd seen it many times coming through fairfax, and the awkward shape of the bush made it a perfect stache spot. Reaching into the thorns, he pulled out his large backpack of metals and assorted trinkets.
He couldn't help but notice blood had been splatted on the sign. Someone's had been at his spot and didn't grab his supply, he grinned to himself with satisfaction. Reading the sign as he walked away "Megaton 4 mi' he thought. 'I can be there by nightfall' as he began to walk north.

The Royal Family

Gustavo

Name: King Gustavo Oslenburg
Age: 60, crowned at 16, reigned 44 years

Appearance

Occupation/Status: King of Belvoir
Personality: Logical and fair, Gustavo is known for his benevolence. He is has a mind for military strategy and combat, and is often enthused by a good battle. He is an opportunist, always looking for ways to consolidate and grow his power. Though he does not show it, he is quite methodical and somewhat corrupt and can show great malice.
History: King Fernando was one of the greatest architectural minds to ever grace the planet. However, his knowledge of walls and aqueducts did not make him a good father. His two sons were raised by the castle staff, being groomed for public appearances and some minor ruling positions. Gustavo was unaffected by his father’s lack of love, as he found his own love in swordplay. As he grew older, it became clear he was destined to ;lead his father’s armies, though no one expected it to happen so soon.
King Fernando was one of the many to perish after being crushed in the great Cathedral collapse almost 45 years ago. His two sons, had not gone to service that day, as they were on the first of many brotherly hunting trips. Inheriting the His closest friends are his brother and Grux.

Name: Prince Hugo Oslenburg
Age: 52

Though he does not always agree with his brother’s decisions, he does understand he is not always right in domestic affairs.
History: Even when they were young boys, it was obvious that Gustavo was the warrior of the two. In training, his sword skilled grew twice as fast as Hugo’s, and thanks to the age/size differences, Gustavo was always able to carry the bigger weapons and wear the bigger armor. Understanding the throne would not be his unless something terrible happened, Hugo began to immerse himself in the library to help his older brother in his new role as boy king. Though Hugo was somewhat envious of his brother’s position, he has always been there to help his brother keep the kingdom in one piece. Hugo is the head of the Royal library as well as the owner and lead architect of the Rothenburg Builders Society, a subsidiary of the Filtiarn Logging company Thanks to a partnership with the Filtiarn Loggers, his father in law’s business, it has quickly become the leading construction group in the city.

Mayella

Name: Queen Mayella Oslenburg
Age: 42

Appearance

Occupation/Status: Queen of Belvoir
Personality: Mayella does not fit the typical queen archetype. She is a mother first, a queen second. She cares little for the politics of the kingdom, seeking only to protect her family. She is stubborn and relentless, traits that made Gustavo all the more fond of her. Her curiosity will be her downfall unfortunately, as it's already almost gotten her killed time and again. She does care for the poor folk of the kingdom, and often advocates for them to the king.
History: Once just a maid in the castle, Mayella was astonished when she was personally requested into the king's quarters. Every woman in the kingdom at the time dreamed of Gustavo coming to rescue them from poverty, and make them his queen. When he told the lowly maid how beautiful she was, as she stood in rags, covered in grime, she felt seen for the first time in her life. Though he was the king, and it was not like she could say no, the king did not force himself upon her. Instead he courted her, buying her gowns and jewels, hunting the most exotic pelts to honor her with. Their love is that of fairy tales.

Veltsa

Name:Veltsa Oslenburg
Age: 16

Appearance

Occupation/Status: Princess
Personality: Much like her mother, Veltsa cares deeply for the common folk, and loves her family as well.

History: Though she love her father and her uncle dearly, she believes that that they are poorly dealing with the massive divide between the rich and the poor. She secretly rebels against her parents by secretly sneaking out of the castle under the cloak of night time (despite the danger), to distribute gold she picks up from around the castle and whatever money her parents giver her to spend in the marketplace. She also gives out food to those who sleep in the streets, and on a daily basis walks the streets with her guards to give out clothing and shoes to children whose parents cannot supply them.

Michaelo

Name: Michaelo Oslenburg
Age:13

Appearance

Occupation/Status: Prince
Personality: Thrill seeker, adventurous, curious. Loves to adventure out into the city and run and play. Though he is being groomed for rule, he is still somewhat blissfully unaware of the darkness within the kingdom.
History: Known as “Michaelo the Monkey” the young prince is often seen running through the streets playing a game of cat and mouse with his personal guard, only the mouse is much smarter and faster and flexible than the cat. He sees the city as a giant maze and love to explore every part, as he wants to know the kingdom he will one day rule. He is not allowed outside the castle after sundown for any reason. Due to his escapism being much more well known, he is not as capable as his sister to sneak out into the night. He shows great promise as an archer, having an eagle's eye and steady aim.

As she grew older, the research became less childish and more ground breaking. She compounded her knowledge by spending any time that wasn't spent in the field studying, in the library in the next town over. These day long trips through the wild would only giver her more to learn about.

Filtiarn Family

Brief Family History

Lord Lucian Filtiarn, the head of his family, is the owner of the Filtiarn logging company, responsible with supplying the whole kingdom with wood. When Lucian was young, long ago, the woods north of the Rothenburg were strictly forbidden for they were far too dangerous for travel. The woods were a death sentence to any who entered due to the overwhelming number of flesh eating creatures lurked in the trees. At the time the forest extended much further south, blocking the eastern routes out of the city, cutting trade circulation, and making it hard for outsider interaction.

Lucian, a young man in great shape, was the leader of small group of warriors who occasionally hunted the monsters in the woods. Taking his men into the woods with only the tools they could carry, they began to hunt their way through the woods into the first clearing, at the time never before seen, now nonexistent. Setting up camp, this clearing would eventually become the main log house of his enterprise. Initially, the log houses were outposts, for Lucian and his ever growing pack of warriors. Once clearing the threats to their safety, they would clear sections of the forest. This was the start of what would become a monopoly on one of the most abundant and most needed resources in the kingdom thanks to Lucian being the only person with building rights within the forest.

Lady Essenia Filtiarn, Lucians only love in life, was tragically and publically killed many years ago. Lucian and Essenia had been in love since childhood, though Lucian never felt qualified to give her the life she deserved. Lucian finally proposed after selling his first load of logs, allowing him to buy her the most gorgeous gown ever crafted in any kingdom. Luther, born with heterochromia, arrived about nine months later. His sister Elaine would not arrive for 7 more years however.

The death of Essenia still very much remains a mystery, with many suspecting Lucian caught her infidelity and ended both it and her life. He was the first one to find her body laying in a pool of blood. The cause of death is still widely speculated, though no one really knows. The Funeral was bigger than some of the previous kings, her kindness and generosity known widely throughout the land. The death of his wife, changed Lucians personality and demeanor. His smile died with his wife, along with his sense of empathy and really any emotion. His face remains a stone scowl, piercing your soul with his unforgiving gaze.

Essenia’s death also heightened his paranoia, constantly fearing for his and his children’s lives. He was the first of the noble families to hire a house guard. Rather than hiring just ordinary mercenaries, Lucian hired some of the best trackers, marksmen, and a few brutish warriors from the arena. Giving them a uniform to gather behind, beds to sleep in, and a constant flow of gold for wine and women, it was not hard to hire a small army to defend his family manor. To further secure his place in the kingdom, Lucian married his daughter to the king's ‘younger’ brother, who is still twice her age.

Lucian

Name:Lucian Filtiarn
Age:64
Appearance:

picture

Occupation/Status: Lord; has a monopoly on the kingdoms logging industry
Personality: Stern and upfront, Lucian does not like small talk or wasting time. He is a man of business and his only focus is building his industrial empire. He is not known for showing emotion, though interfering in his business affairs will surely piss him off. He cares deeply for his children, though he is not known for showing it. Mentioning Lucian's late wife is another way to activate his temper, many servants have lost their heads for speaking ill of Lady Essenia.
History: Lucian is one of the wealthiest people in the kingdom, his logging empire the sole source of wood for the kingdom. In recent years, Lucian has sought to expand his business into mining as well, as deforestation north of Rothenburg has uncovered new cave systems and untouched resources.
Though his rotund appearance does not make it apparent, Lucian used to be one of the best hunters in the kingdom, winning multiple competitions under many of the previous Kings. He maintains many scars from his days battling the beasts in the woods, an is still renown for leading the great purge of Ondorro forest.

Luther

Name: Luther Filtiarn
Age:28
Appearance:

picture

Occupation/Status: Nobleman
Personality: Lucian is a lush, wanting only women, alcohol, and "Toadjam" (a psychedelic compound made from toad, mushrooms, and fresh cadaver brain.) Luther was broken by the loss of his mother, pushing him only further down the path to alcoholism and also expediting his transformation into the kingdoms most well known man-whore. He has a semi-stable relationship with father, though they often disagree on business affairs. He and his sister are different, though they both agree that their father is a downright ass.
History: Lucian never really gave his son attention in his formative years, as though were also the formative years of Lucian's business empire. Essenia was a loving and caring mother who went to great lengths to take care of her children, making it only harder on him when she passed. His family had kept him guarded from the outside world, so he did not have any friends other than Lancelin, the boy next door. Trying to fill the hole left in his heart by her death, Luther began to fill every lady's hole he could. Though he is only somewhat trained, he is an excellent swordsmen, though its dependent on his blood alcohol level as well.

Elaine

Name: Elaine Filtiarn
Age:21
Appearance:

picture

Occupation/Status: Noblewoman
Personality:Much like her mother, Elaine is sweet and gracious, and delightful, and an all around great person. Many believe shes the reincarnation of her mother as she is loved by all much like Essenia was.
History: despite being a woman and her young age, Elaine is one of the king's top diplomatic advisers. She often travels the kingdom talking to the lords of the cities and the mayors of smaller villages. Many seek to marry the young lady, as she is not only beautiful, but heiress to one half of the biggest business in the kingdom. along with being a renowned diplomat, she is also a lover of horses, owning one of the largest stables in the kingdom, often breeding and selling them back to the kingdom for guard patrols. She is now married to man twice her age, purely for political reasons. Though she does not love her husband, she does not want to ruin what her father has built.

He is skilled fighter and tactician, and is known for his brute strength and power of will.

The Sea King

Work in progress but this is the basic idea of my character.

Ivar

Name: Ivar Belgr
Appearance:

My Hider

Personality: Often stoic and quiet, Ivar is pretty laid back most of the time. He is kind to those he trusts and will often sabotage those who get on his bad side. He is patient and meticulous, Ivar prefers to have a plan of action rather than a headfirst approach. Ivar loves ale probably more than anyone he knows, and is often drunk at the worst times, though through the years, he's become a semi-functional drunk, only stumbling and vomiting when he's had too much.
Backstory: Ivar was raised by hunters, and grew up in hunters lodges. He could knock an arrow before he could even run. He got his first kill on a 4 day long hunt in woods. Their camp had been raided in the night by a boar, eating most of their gathered berries and nuts. In order to have enough food for the trek back, they would have to find the animal that had taken their food. When Ivar saw the arrow connect with the boar's eye, and watched as it collapsed lifeless, he felt almost pity for the animal, though that feeling would soon fade. He helped skin and roast the boar that night, a proper feast for a boy's first kill. Ivar has spent most of his life in the woods hunting and tracking the wildlife that inhabit it. He has mastered his longbow and is capable of nailing a doe in the eye at just over 35 yards (32 meters). He has all the essential skills to live in the wild, though he would rather not as staying in the woods is always a sleepless night.
Equipment: Long Bow, Quiver/with 30 arrows, hand crafted arrow heads, carving knife, whetstone
Skills: Archery, Hunting, Tracking, Skinning/Tanning, Arrow crafting, Herbalist, Fisherman
