The Beginning.

QuoteAsteriinyx. A land of vast wealth, home to many of The Aether's most important Aethlings in existence. Stretching across hundreds of miles, with sprawling cities and towns, magnificent castles looming over their kingdom, and towering mountains, sparkling as Solina sets behind them. The land, once a mesmerising sight, has had its beauty robbed.

The Weeping Ones, human-like creatures, grey skin, eyes as black as the depths of earth itself. Fangs as sharp as glass and as wicked as a backstabber's sword, these creatures hunt down any foe who crosses their paths, and Dulls them. Dulling is an unusual enchantment, no creature but the ones who have dabbled in the worst of the Arts have even the slightest ability to use this terrible power. It dulls a creature's senses completely, no sight, no sound, no taste, touch, even hearing. All those senses whisked away at the touch of a Weeping One. And these monsters are on their way to Asteriinyx, snarling at the thought of Dulling so many Aethlings, joyous at the idea of taking over the land of Asteriinyx.


The Three Courts, set in the corners of Asteriinyx, giant towers of coloured rock are each dedicated to one Aether deity. These Courts control four of the major cities in Asteriinyx, without them, the country would be gone. But, the Courts have sworn not to interact with one another, since a false accusation was made against one of these Courts in a Grand Trial hundreds of years ago. The result was that...the Court was destroyed, completely. That Court was once the fifth, but now, no longer exists. To prevent this ever happening again, the Three Courts seldom talk to each other, and this has stayed like this for a few centuries now. But because of the new danger and fear of their world being Dulled, the Courts must finally begin to talk to each other, or risk having Asteriinyx destroyed.



The Three Courts.


The Three Courts, lie in the corners of Asteriinyx, and are each dedicated to one Aether deity, The deity of the Sun, Moon and Sky. All the members in the Courts each practice a certain aspect in the Arts. None of them dabble in the Petrified Arts, the ones the Weeping Ones master, and monsters far more terrifying than these beasts use every day. No one would dare. Unless....you were part of the remaining members of the Fourth Court. But we don't talk about them. We're unsure they even exist.

Court of Lady Solina.

Solina. In a blazing nutshell, Solina is the sun goddess. Bringing light to all our citizens every day. The Court of Lady Solina, or 'Solinya' as she was called a few centuries ago, practice the powerful Art of Light-Weaving, being able to summon, and manipulate light. This simple, yet cunning Art can only be mastered by very few, and only ones who have had the sun's blessing.

Court of Maestro Midnio.

Midnio is the opposite of Solina, the moon god. The 'Master or Maestro of Moonlight' as he is more commonly known. The Court's members practice the silent and sneaky Art of Shadow-Bending, being able to summon and manipulate darkness. This Art is seen as quite deadly, and many are intimidated and scared of this Court.

Court of Mistress Selyne

And as we've discussed the earth, it was only a matter of time before we arrived to Selyne. The sky. Viewed as the most impressive Court of them all, members of this Court practice Wind-Waving, being able to summon winds, control them, and in some rare, rare cases- fly.

RP Info-


Quote from An Urgent Message to the Courts of Asteriinyx.
It has been a while, centuries- since the Courts have last spoken. And I know that many of you wish for this to continue, but alas, it cannot. Asteriinyx is in danger. The- my hands tremble as I even think these words, these are terrible times, terrible times, you must know-...the Weeping Ones are attempting to invade. They plan to Dull the land. None of you want this, I presume, which is why I've taken up the duty to resolve this matter, before it's too late. I beg you to discuss this with your fellow members of your Courts, and I advise that we end this silence with each other once and for all. Courts, I ask but one thing of you. Discuss this with your members, if you are willing to participate- which I hope you will- send me a letter promptly, with the details of the Aethlings you're willing to send to help embark on this mission. I ask only this.

Good luck Courts...


-Lady Yvonne Paelina~
Mistress of Magic, Cultivator of the Arts, Lady of the Court of Solina.

idk if he fits the rp all that well since i don't really know all the details but whatever :shrug:

Username - Daiko
Name - Aliban Selvisk
Personality/Info - He's quiet, but not exactly mysterious and gloomy as you would expect him to be. He doesn't like to interact with others much, but if he is in the situation he will gladly join the conversation. He loves making jokes, but is knowledgeable enough to know the time and place. He can read the room quite well and does great with analyzing others to know a vague idea of what's on their mind. He can get a bit serious at times though, which could lead to an unsettling atmosphere. There is one odd thing about him though, which is a secret he seems to be hiding. No one ever suspects that of him though due to his general mood, but those who analyze others as much as he does could tell something is off. He practices the art of his people quite often and is certainly proud of how well he can do it. He's one of the best users of his day, but he isn't a show-off about it for one particular reason. What a surprise, the reason is his dirty little secret. The rest is TBRPD
Court - Maestro Midno
Appearance - He's pretty much your average 22 year old man, no crazy hair, no noticeable scars, no abnormal eyes, nothing of that sort. Well, I take it back, his light brown eyes are pretty strange when you look close enough. They seem to be full of energy, but not exactly excitement or happiness, it's more like they shine with passion and craziness. Honestly, making eye contact with him is pretty terrifying with eyes like those. He has medium length black hair that go to his earlobes, and he stands at a general 6'3 6'4 on a good day :eyes:. He does have 2 large, thin scars stretching across both of his palms but they aren't all that prominent. He wears the usual attire, darker colored clothing that seem pretty comfortable but also quite casual.
Backstory - His parents died of reasons he will not disclose when he was 16, but at that point he was already doing well taking care of himself anyways. He grew up a normal child with nothing out of the ordinary about him other than being overly energetic and talkative with everyone else his age. He made quite a lot of friends but by now he has drifted apart from them. No one really knows why he went from being so outgoing to now a quiet and closed-in person. As mentioned before though, he has a secret, and that is TBRPD
Weapon - A rather interesting whip, one with small razor blades running down the side.
Other - hehe edgy evil dude

Username:
Tsukoyomi

Aethling's name and/or nicknames/titles:
Niyol of the Blessed Wings
Title: He Who Flies Above it All

Personality/Info:
Haughty, Arrogant, Prideful. Even without speaking a word, Niyol carries around with him a presence of regality and aloofness as if he views himself better than everyone else. And for the most part, that is how he acts. His tongue is silver sharp and he never holds anything back, speaking his mind bluntly. He considers himself better than everyone and will let others know about it. He is above worldly matters and his title of He Who Flies Above it All is not just a moniker earned by his flight prowess but for his holier than thou attitude
It's not all negatives, however, as Niyol is politically savvy. He knows what to say and when to say it, swaying people's opinions at a dime though he doesn't make any attempt to mask his scummy nature. He is adept at reading people and making deals with them based of his personal observations, making him a powerful asset in peacetalks and negotiations.
There seems to be something else lurking under the surface however. Perhaps Niyol is different from what others say. But then again, aren't rumours only the projection of what others want to see and not who they really are?

Member of which Court:
Mistress Selyne

Aethling's Appearance:
Niyol is a young man standing at a respectable 5'10 (178) with platinum silver dyed hair. He looks much younger than he actually is, sharp facial features and carefully applied makeup giving off a air of youthful cockiness. Some would even say that he looks beautiful, discarding more conventional complements in favour of a feminine grace. He keeps his image carefully curated, dark eyeliner sharpening his narrow cold grey eyes, slicked back hair never growing out too long. He is surprisingly fit for someone who's main role is in discussions and politics, toned arms and slim figure cutting out a powerful figure despite how delicate his features can be. However fit he is, Niyol is alarmingly light. It is almost concerning how easy it is for others to pick him up, as if any weight that he possesses is only an illusion. Perhaps the only weight he even has in muscles that keep up the facade of delicate strength. For a member of the Selynian court, Niyol dresses much like someone from Maestro Midnio, all dark colours as he's wrapped in mystery fitting for a publicly hated figure.

Backstory:
Everyone knows that there's a member of the Blessed Wings who can fly.
Niyol is not that person.

Born into a subfamily that almost religiously worshiped the ability to fly, Niyol was brought up as a proxy, a fake to draw attention away from his younger brother who took to the skies like the Goddess they worshiped. He was taught every way to make others hate him, to be arrogant and unlikable just to spin a whole narrative that starred him as the villain and his brother as the hero all so that the family could move up in court. He learned to fly, learned to simulate rushing across the skies and dipping past the clouds to dance among his element. He learned to starve himself and bleed numbers onto the ground, pouring out sweat and tears into his facade as he broke his own tender heart again and again until he had none left. He stepped away from the weapons rack and trained his tongue, his verbal lashings as deadly and accurate as a gunshot, aiming straight and true as he ruined his own reputation. Whispers speak of Niyol locking his brother away, jealousy burning in his blood at someone younger than him being better at flying than him, that Niyol had abused his position as a flyer to bully his way up in court. Whispers don't ever speak of the grudging love Niyol still has for his family as he continues to play his part

Weapon of Choice:
While he is proficient in all types of weapons, he is most often seen wearing a pair of kris daggers by his waist
He is most comfortable with long ranged weaponry, particularly a sniper rifle or bow

Other:
Perhaps the worst rumour surrounding Niyol is that he has grown arrogant to the point of dabbling in the petrified arts, dulling anyone who dares oppose him

Skye_in_daSky
Aethling's name and/or nicknames/titles:
Freja Azurine / The Raveness
Personality/Info.
To put it simply, Freja dislikes people. She prefers to work on her own and is most definitely not the best at communicating. While she has trust issues and dislikes working with others, she certainly has a sharp tongue and will speak out on anything she deems worthy of her attention. She hates acknowledging it, but she cannot stand injustice and will stand up for anyone who cannot stand up for themselves.
She tries to force out other people and avoids forming relationships because she’s afraid of hurting someone again, so she becomes cold and shuts everyone out in order to keep them away. She can’t stand the thought of losing another person close to her, and she has an intense fear of being abandoned.
She has very clear boundaries and pushes away anyone who steps too close to them. She’s concealed her emotions in a strong layer of ice, forcing out any warmth in an attempt to keep herself safe. She doesn’t trust herself or others enough to form another close relationship, though she will (begrudgingly) work as business partners with someone. Occasionally.
Stubborn and never quick to forgive, Freja will hold a grudge to the end of time if she must. She hates discussing her past, and she refuses to acknowledge success, always striving to be better than she was, this idea of ‘perfect’ imbedded within her mind from her childhood. Her attitude towards others and her brooding nature has earned her the nickname ‘The Raveness’, and whispers about her and what happened to her family follow her around like a haunting ghost.
Member of which Court:
Maestro Mindnio
Aethling's Appearance.:
Tall and lean, with long, dark blue hair pulled back in multiple braids spanning down her back. She has light brown skin and pure green eyes that turn dark blue when she practices her Art. Her eyes are always cold, hiding a river of intense emotion behind a dam of ice. She often wears a fluffy black jacket over a dark gray shirt with an owl printed on it. She wears long black boots with silver buckles, and thigh-high deep purple socks hidden under a stiff black skirt.
Backstory (optional):
Freja grew up in an unforgiving home, all of her relationships, platonic or otherwise, ending in her being abandoned, manipulated, or used. Her parents gave her no attention, so she sought it out elsewhere in violence. She lashed out often in her childhood, trying to get the attention she craved, until she learned to control her emotions. She learned early on that she had to take what she wanted by force or she wasn’t going to get it. This included necessary items such as food, water, and shelter. She learned survival skills quickly and was exceedingly good at combat, frequently getting into fights and causing problems. She bottled up her emotions, trying to please the people who told her to ‘be better’, until the bottle broke and she snapped again. Her only close friend was her little brother, who was eight years younger than her but the two got along splendidly. That is, until he went missing. Freja was the only one who knew what happened to him, and the guilt of it tore her up on the inside. Soon, she cut herself off from everyone in her life, determined to start anew and determined not to give in to anyone again. She left her old home in search of an escape, all on her own except for her one and only friend; Eren.
Weapon of Choice:
x
Other:
Freja has a raven friend named Eren, who she met when she was 16 and the two bonded and have been close ever since. The two are so close it’s almost as if they understand each other, and Freja can call Eren to her anytime. Freja is very much better at communicating with animals (namely birds) than humans, but she is allergic to cats. Despite her cold and oftentimes harsh demeanor, she never lets her instincts become dull, and her reflexes are lightning fast.

Username: Hunterz Wolf

Aethling's name and/or nicknames/titles:
Carlynne Astoria
[ Nicknames; Falcon, Breeze ]

Personality/Info:
Cheerful and energetic, Carlynne is the 'little child' in the group. Her energetic and bubbly attitude is seriously contagious that she is said to be a gentle breeze carrying some sort of 'happiness gas' by those who know her (hence the nickname). She is one who is all unicorns and rainbows and anything negative can instantly turn positive around her. Secretly, she was one of those people who didn't agree with how the Courts worked, separated instead of one. While she did know the history of how it came to be, she couldn't help but think that it's better to forgive and forget, though it's probably because of her easily forgiving attitude.

Sometimes, however, Carlynne speaks before she thinks and may end up saying abrasive comments without knowing it until she regrets her choices 5 minutes later. She can also be very brash and inconsiderate at times, especially in full-blown arguments. Her mind too full of mindful and childish thoughts, she easily forgets things which is why she can't multitask because she is bound to get one step wrong. Busy daydreaming, sometimes she loses touch with reality, staying adrift in the sky, lost in thoughts that no one knows.

Despite all her happy-going attitude, there is more than meets the eye. Carlynne's happy façade was only to help her bear with the struggles her life would hurl at her. It was the image of the girl she had wanted to be when she was young, yet never had the chance to express. On certain days, her other negative side would arise, showing all the shadows lurking within the very back of her mind. There are times she tend to be very serious and dark, a threatening aura enveloping the once bright atmosphere around her like a storm cloud.

Member of which Court:
Mistress Selyn

Aethling's Appearance:
Show hidden content


Accessories:
She wears a cloak that's made of very light material that helps her glide midair with her Wind controlling ability.


Backstory (optional):
Carylenne was born into a family struck by poverty due to her father's gambling addictions. As a child, she watched as he robbed her mother of her money, hitting the woman to the ground. When he didn't have anymore left, he resorted to selling his own children, including her. She grew up with no clear memory of her mother nor her other two older brothers, but the image of her wretched father was burned into her mind.
She knew her brothers were sold off for work, but being a frail girl, she couldn't do much physical jobs. Instead, she was bought off to become a performer, trained to be elegant and captivating. From years of training, she was nimble on her feet and her light weight made her seem like she was dancing in the air. While she hasn't mastered flying, no matter how many times she was beaten to try and perfect that skill, she learned to manipulate the wind and altered her cloak to be lighter so she could glide. When she was performing, she was called 'Falcon' because she could swoop and maneuver in the air as fast as the bird itself. Her hands were also as quick as her reflexes, making her comfortable with long weapons like spears or javelins.
Now that she's all grown up and out of the dark side of life, she desperately tried to be happier, trying to forget the past that tried to destroy her. So she built a new her. She threw away her old name and changed it to Carylenne Astoria which she thinks mean 'Free Hawk'. She acted all happy and cheerful to rebel against her childhood. When she's lost in thought, she'd daydream about her brothers and mother and wonder if they'll ever cross paths again, or if they were still alive somewhere.

Weapon of Choice:
Carlynne is a master at double-bladed swords and spears, particularly this one. She can also wield normal swords but doesn't favor them since she feels like they're too short.

Other:
This one isn't dull XDD.

And (teeny add on) Carylenne is new to the Court ;-;

Also sorry for my mistake earlier, I should've seen all the forms X-X

Name Jade Astoria, Wolf That Prowls by Starless Night
Nickname Answers to blackbird by friends only.
Allegiance: Court of Selyne | Captain of The Guard's Squire
- Has a reasonable amount of political power, though not as much as he would desire.

Appearance:
- for reference, please see this -

Personality

INTJ The Architect | Triad Head | Enneagram 6w5 (The Skeptic) | Alignment True Neutral | Zodiac Aquarius ⟩

indentJade, for one thing, is intelligent - with a creative and analytical mind, he is capable of reading a room - and a situation - a pragmatist at heart, he has a natural penchant for puzzles - viewing them as an intertwining of many different situations, rather than a tangled web. However, this intelligence is often applied in a different way than what is normally expected. Having been forced to endure what he would call more than his fair share of court politics, his intelligence manifests in a way that allows him to read into the psychology of his peers. He has a way of developing - or feigning - a type of empathy, or understanding. He addresses problems in a rational and level-headed way, and tries to leave a solution for others to ponder. Harsh insults and barbed words - unless directed at those whom he holds dear - are usually ignored, brushed away or dealt with quickly. Emotions and logic are easily confused in his mind, and he returns to what he is comfortable with — an escapist that refuses to admit it.
indentIronically, given his empathetic facade, his domain of understanding does not stem from a true emotional foundation. Rather, Jade's psyche is mis mind. He has a cerebral mindset, one that is most closely aligned with the facets of logic and factual evidence. True companionship is something of a rarity in his eyes, because through a rather black-and-white worldview has evolved a rather blunt way of dealing with his life. Psychology plays a part, but he tries to see things at face value for what they are, rather than trying to figure out the contours of human unpredictability. Jade tends to be rather frank in conversation, addressing the situation in a way that does not always allow for comfort and warmth. To more skeptical eyes, Jade is someone who is better called severe or even callous which isn't far from the truth. It's a paradoxical dichotomy between mind and self that many people have trouble understanding - and others often treat his aloof persona with disdain and resentment. This has made him a certain pariah in the Court, a problem for which there is little remedy. Ironically, even though Jade is aware of this, he makes no attempt to change it. He would rather have a close-knit circle of reliable friends than a wide circle of acquaintances.
indentIn a state of focus, Jade is relentless, leaping from one debacle to the next without taking a break. Highly action-oriented, he has a certain disregard for what he would deem 'useless' rules and regulations. Furthermore, saddling him with easy and routine tasks, however necessary they are, is a quick way to bore him half to death and lose his interest. At times, this apparent overlook of rules makes him a bit of a maverick. This isn't to say that he believes he is above such mundane tasks as it is to say that he believes they are merely excuses and not a way of moving forward. He remains wary of suspected nepotism, believing that rank should be achieved through hard work and achievement. Sadly, this is not always the case. He has grown cynical during his time in court, not trusting other people to act with altruism unless it is a last resort. Jade holds strangers at a cold arms length, and sometimes he comes across as unfriendly to outsiders.
indentUnsurprisingly, Jade is a highly independent person, preferring to take on lone-wolf positions instead of those that involve reliance on large numbers of people. This is due to forming strong opinions - and a preferred method of action - very quickly. Due to his stubbornness, it can take a lot to cause divergence. Despite his prickly exterior, however, lies a very different person. In contrast to his resilient bearing, he needs time to shed his repressed and mask and let loose. In tandem with his mental acuity, Jade has developed an expansive vocabulary, which he proudly displays through sardonic quips and one-liners. Darkly humored and sharply witted, Jade knows how to get a reaction out of somebody, whether to satisfaction or sorrow. In addition to his wit, his relentless spirit ensures that he will follow those who earn his respect, to the grave. He is devoted, willing to go to the ends of the earth if it keeps his friends safe. With an extensive memory, he rarely forgets the many ways people have thrown generosity and kindness his way, and he always honors their deeds. One good deed may not be enough to earn a lifetime of camaraderie, but that does not mean it is meaningless either. Unfortunately, this leads into one of the more negative aspects of his personality.
paragraphThis extensive memory is a double-edged sword. Not only does Jade remember the ways his peers have honored their connection with him, he also remembers those who have merely used him for their own ends. Revenge is a common taste to his tongue, and he has not yet been desensitized to violence. He is unafraid to resort to brutality and coercion in order to demand another make amends. In essence, he has become a highly vindictive person. He can be surprisingly quick to violence in this sense, slitting the throats of his enemies with a unhinged smile on his face. This cuts a sharp contrast to his usual calm demeanor, a ruthless contrast that often leaves his opponents flat-footed. His anger stems from a history of being used and abandoned, feeling the effects firsthand. Unfortunately, some of this rage has manifested itself in anxiety and regret. Jade cannot help becoming so rueful at times, and tends to internalize the blame for things gone wrong in the past. Typically, he struggles to find closure, and this blame chases his thoughts for years on end.
paragraphFirst impressions are crucial, and Jade tries to keep his demons concealed behind a mirror-smooth calm and watchful eyes. Sullen but observant, he tries to avoid jumping into situations impulsively, instead choosing to watch and analyze from a distance before making a (usually educated) guess. Though distant, he tries to put up a polite facade, answering questions politely to avoid further questions.

Backstory
indentIn the beginning, there were five of them, five of them altogether. Jade was born into a family with two healthy siblings, the oldest child. Everything seemed all right at first. Born with hair as dark as the night and vivid amber eyes, he was the clear splitting image of his father, a restless and stormy man who spent more and more time away from home. Both of his siblings took after their mother somehow, with their bright eyes and easy cheer. Carlynne, his sister and the youngest was blithe, but frail. Calverus, his brother, was tender and warm. Together, they were a happy bunch. Not quite as rambunctious as his siblings, Jade found himself on the side while his siblings tussled and played.
indentNevertheless, as the eldest child, he was responsible for corralling them and looking after their welfare, which he undertook half-heartedly. He had no intention of being the strict father figure after all. He often delighted his mother with his keen observations and a bright mind, which would soon lead him to despair.
indentAs the years passed, months bleeding into years, the tension between Jade's parents escalated rapidly. Arguments in the middle of the night filled the house with frightening noise. Too frightened to do much else, Carlynne and Calverus hid in Jade's room, their hands over their ears, shaking. That is how Jade grew up - the guardian of his siblings. He was their rock, the reliable one, even as their family lost what money it had and began to struggle for survival. What interactions Jade did have with their father ended with pained words and cruel blows. It was clear that their father did not want anything to do with him. The boy never retaliated, choosing to protect his siblings instead of risking a fight. Cal inquired after their father with trailing words and innocent questions, but Jade shut him down at every turn. It was painful to watch their mother starving for everything life could give while his father took whatever he wanted. Her strength waning by the day, Jade found himself a primary caretaker, watching over his siblings until the day that they were separated. Unfortunately, that day came all too soon. Their mother's strength dwindled to a sprout, and under the ruthless blows of her husband, she soon passed away, no longer able to provide for her children. With the last of his financial resources gone, Jade's father resorted to selling his children for work, though they were but children at the time. The children were ripped apart - Carlynne too frail to do the same brute-muscle work as her brothers.
indentLife on the streets was hard and grueling. Disagreements and arguments were rife as hunger set in for them, but the bond between Calverus and Jade remained firm. The older boy refused to let his brother starve, learning to cheat and lie for food if necessary. The people he met was distant or thuggish, people who had never had the opportunity to live the good life. With each beat-down, every fight, Jade learned the lessons of survival. He learned which people to avoid, and which people to approach for his various needs. What he learned, he passed on to his brother. But the more he learned, the more Jade became cold and withdrawn, his childish innocence worn thin by reality. But he refused to lay a hand on his brother outside of sparring practice, no matter how mad he was. He was not like his father.
indentEventually, Jade's heists secured the notice and favor of what seemed to be a relatively well-off street gang that operated on the outskirts of the court's territory. Though they initially seemed to be a mere group of hooligans, it became apparent that they were actually rebelling against the court's wealthy nobility, who they saw as over-privileged. Jade agreed to help out - more for the thrill of it than anything. Having developed a rather rebellious nature during his trying years, he bickered constantly with the leader of his cell - a stubborn and authoritative woman named Erin Sokolov. Though well-meaning, her harsh nature chafed greatly with his defensive one, and he struggled to earn her favor. But he proved to be useful, and she kept him around. He also learned to extend the trust to the others in the cell, and help Cal adjust. But like other relations in his past...this one did not end well for him or for his brother.
indentMaybe they'd grown too cocky or too ambitious, but the raid he embarked on that frigid winter night would be his last. Caught in a crossfire with what was apparently a well-calculated ambush, the group suffered heavy casualties. Through no fault of his own, Faolan found himself bleeding into unconsciousness from several injuries. His vision blurring, the last thing he remembered seeing was Sokolov gazing him straight in the eye, and walking away.
indentHe had been betrayed for the second time.
indentFaolan spent half a year in prison, interrogated relentlessly for any information on the rebellion that he could offer. Their methods of inflicting pain was as horrible as they were creative, but the pain only made him more restless.

Weapon of Choice: Two medium-length scimitar blades that are as sharp as his wit.

-Palpad Group: Yes please.




[Priya Suffolk]

-Nicknames: [Preeth, Storyteller, Sun's Eclipse]

-Titles: [Lady Suffolk, Priest of Language, Sun's Eclipse]




Personality: Priya is a quiet, shy soul who's always the back presence in the room, making small comments and hinting towards future events. She seems very calm and intelligent, but this is all just a mask. Deep down, she's a very sweet, idealistic person who tends to romanticize and imagine all sorts of things happening and becoming a story. She actually tends to hate herself for this, and would rather be taken seriously, which is why she stifles it and pretends to be a serious soul, rather than her own, sweet, silly self. If only she could see that no one would hate her for who she was, then she might open up...

Personality Type: INTJ (Ni-Te-Fi-Se)




Member of which Court: `❅Lady Solina❅`

-Position: Upper Lady (However, holds little political power)




Aethling's Appearance: Priya is a dark Aethling, with skin nearly a shade of black- a few shades lighter, she may well be a Weeping One. But beneath her skin, sunlight seems to glow and pour through into the surface. Her eyes are as black as coals but far more heated- flooded with amber light and fire. She resembles a more humanoid form than many Aethlings, but structured branches of horns peek from her silky black hair. Average height and weight.

-Style: Priya dresses in the traditional Lady Solina clothing- but in her off time from the court, she'll often wear shades of blue that contrast against her warm tones. It gives her an odd appearance, but somewhat mystical at the same time. Lace and frills seem to generate naturally on her skin. She always appears neat and pristine, even if dirt is splattered across the blues of her dresses.

-Additional: Her hands are cracked in several places- as if an earthquake has split open a vast expanse of earth. And yet they remain soft, gentle, and most of all fleeting over all things.




Weapon of Choice: Priya prefers psychological warfare to actual combat, but she's skilled in the art of swordsmanship. That's not to say she uses a sword all that much- if she must handle a weapon, she'd prefer smaller ones such as throwing knives. She can hit with decent precision and force, enough to thwart any assassins who may come searching for Lady Suffolk.

Username: Dogarthsis
Aethling's name and/or nicknames/titles: Flora
Personality/Info: It’s a wonder why she’s even here. Flora is a rather kind and gentle individual, perhaps too kind and gentle. She is very fearful about everything and constantly contemplates every little thing that could go wrong. She’s terrible at interacting with people, has no sense of self-confidence, and she always tries her best to make everyone like her and fails miserably. Flora is rather intelligent, rational (except most of her fears aren’t), and creative, although she wouldn’t ever give herself credit for such a thing, and always tries to share her ideas (when she has the courage to talk about them). Perhaps that’s why she’s here. She desperately desires to be needed by other people and to be taken seriously and to be seen as talented.
Typology: My guess is she's an XNTP or an XSFJ, all I know for sure is her functions definitely contain Si, Fe, Ti and Ne in some order or other. She seems to be either a type 2, type 6, type 5, or type 9 and I really hope I get this straight in my head-
Member of which Court: The Court of Maestro Midnio
Aethling's Appearance.: A rather frail-looking, slender individual who stands only a mere 4 feet, 9 inches tall. One half of her hair is that of a faded blonde that looks the color of a withering yellow dandelion, and curls upward rather stalkily. The other half is that of a similarly faded green. Her hair is of medium length, barely reaching her shoulders, and many of the strands are uneven, presumably from her tearing it out. She has bright, huge, wide orange eyes that she usually covers up with her bangs, which are grown down the majority of her face. Her skin is incredibly pale, almost unnaturally pale. Flora’s fingers bear sharp, light-green claws at the ends, but she wears gloves over top of her hands because she doesn’t like her claws much. She dons a very, very, very, very, very dark green turtleneck sweater, except the neck of the sweater is violently ripped off for some reason. Overtop she has a purely black vest (with pockets, overflowing with assorted items, either from her workspace or that she randomly picked up, because you never know when something might come in handy). She also has a black light coat that looks as though someone splattered purple blood all over it that she leaves unbuttoned, also with overflowing pockets. She takes a notebook and pen with her everywhere she goes. Her entire face is dotted with golden freckles, and she wears faded green rectangular glasses with partially shattered lenses (she was too nervous to ask someone if they could help fix them or get her a new pair). Flora has black deer ears upon her head, and she wears a flower crown made of yellow, fluffy dandelions. She wears a dark-gray skirt of medium length, short black socks, and short pale lime boots.
Backstory: As a child, Flora was never good enough for her parents. Nothing she did was ever good enough, and they always had such high expectations of her, that she couldn’t live up to… she had to be the best. She had to be perfect. She had to be the kindest, the smartest, the most successful… and Flora cracked under all the pressure. She was greeted with words of disappointment, of reprimand, with a slap to the face whenever she failed. Flora grew fearful, and desperate for approval and kindness from anyone, but she figured she didn’t deserve it. She wasn’t good for anything, or to anyone… In everything she does, she desperately tries to prove herself. But it seems like nothing is ever good enough.
Weapon of Choice: Explosives
