THE HEIR OF LA' VEN



SIMRAN 'Simi' Palamon
Elven - All Woman babey

Age on the day of the attack: Fourteen
Current age: Twenty-Six


Elves are supposedly elegant, slender, peaceful and serene.
Our girl Simi is messy, sinewy, rash, and passionate.
She sure does her people proud this one.
What started out as a quiet, timid little girl, has blossomed into adulthood as a loud, energetic and rather coarse individual. While one of the oldest of the lost heirs, Simi is currently within the depths of a second adolescence of sorts, perhaps it's due to the manner in which Elves age. Almost full to the brim of turbulent rebelliousness and unruly attitudes on a day to day basis, she currently funnels her energy into labour, working as a hired sword. Well, supposedly a hired sword that is. I'm pretty sure 'Hired-Swords' carry out the wishes and actions of their employer specifically, and don't go about quashing petty wars between rival tribes in Muliah, using cheap guerrilla tactics and then just flouncing up to whichever side ended up 'winning' and demanding fair pay for her efforts 'Or else'.
But that's just a theory.

Simran's family was a prime member of the Elven council of La' Ven, known as the Edhellen. Her Uncle was the Council's 'Revas', the elected ruler and representative of the whole of La' Ven. Within the Edhellen's rules on Titles, Simi's Father and his own family fell under the banner of being known too as 'Revasan', even though a large number of the Edhellen wished they didn't. Simi's Father had had a far more unpleasant experience with the Edhellen than that of his older brother. For he had married someone of 'Common-stock', ranking far below his own position of nobility. Simran was the first child of a genuine, loving marriage. She was adored and cherished by her parents from the very start, and for that she is forever grateful. For little else of her world ever showed her equal affection. She spent her early years growing up within the boundaries of her Mothers Tribe. Her time spent there was by far the easiest, the members of the tribe had grown up with Simran's Mother and her family, they regarded and treated Simi the same as they would any of the other village children. No petty jabs or whispered comments to be found here.

When Simran was a little older, her Father began to take her with him to his trips to the Edhellen. At first, the aim of these visits was to try and encourage a kinship between Simran and her more, 'esteemed', cousins. She was the same age as the oldest of the Revas' children after all. Perhaps then at least, her life would be a little easier within the realm of Aristocracy and Politics. However it only worked somewhat. Simi formed a timid friendship with two of her cousins, but the others only saw her occasional visits as little more than ripe opportunity to play out childish mimicries of slander and defamation of their own.
Needless to say, Simran was not overly fond of visiting the Edhellen gatherings.
And remarkably less keen at the idea of attending a Summit where countless other despicable spoilt little offspring would undoubtedly dwell.

 
If my slightly updated cs sheet sent twice pls tell me cause I can’t tell if that’s a glitch or not.

THE HEIR OF ALDOR


KARA EVERMORE
Human - Female

Age on the day of the attack: 6
Current age: 18

Ever since she was a baby people had always said she had a doll like appearance. Her mother use to call her, her little Doll. When she was 3 Kara went through a traumatic experience. She was kidnapped by some crazed occultist group and unfortunately she did suffer injury from it. They were using her to try to perform strange rituals and summon spirits which ended up her losing her right eye and left leg. She has a glass eye that looks identical to her left one and she has a prosthetic leg that goes to up her midthigh. People later started calling her the Porcelain Doll seeing her as fragile. Because of what happened they hired a maid that was with her around the clock to watch and take care of her. Every since that happened to her she started see spirits. Things the regular mortal eye could not. She tried to tell her parents however they never took it seriously just thinking she was playing with imaginary friends. She see's good and bad spirits which she would call the bad ones the monsters under her bed. Also every now and then she has nightmares of that day and nightmares stemming from evil spirits. She hates what happened to her she feels like a burden and doesn't like it when people treat her as if she's fragile.

Cheerful and high-spirited, Kara is a playful, active, and generally positive girl that always finds something to be excited or passionate about. She struggles to read the mood of a situation, which means she sometimes does or say things that don't help or make no sense. She loves reading, she mostly tends to read romantic books and tearjerkers. She enjoys making and eating sweets. She also likes cute things like clothing and stuffed animals but she wants to be seen as cool, strong, brave and grown up by others.

THE HEIR OF IG-KILAR


NINA RIVERA
Mer - Female

Age on the day of the attack: 7
Current age: 19

Ig-kilar’s rulers were not the best parents, they favored their duties over raising their child. Allowing Nina to grow up feeling rejected and lonely. The only time she received attention was from scoldings or lectures about how she was to be the ruler of Ig-Kilar one day and that she must meet the expectations of that role. The amount of pressure that was placed on Nina was unacceptable, especially for a child. No matter what Nina did, someone would always be unhappy with her performance. Nina was in a constant state of stress for her entire childhood.

There were sparse moments when Nina would be allowed to relax, when her parents would act like parents do. Mostly her birthday, or yearly celebrations. But her favorite day of all was when the six kingdoms would meet and she could see the other heirs and play with them. She considered the other heirs to be the only people who could understand her, and she would always swell with a humble sort of happiness when her parents would dote on her at the events. Nina was a shy, but sweet child. She was also very intelligent and a quick study, the epitome of a gifted child. Her parents showed their daughter off, going on about how proud of her they were. They were harsh and negligent at times, but they loved her. And Nina loved them. And she spent her entire life up to that point doing her best to make them proud.

Then it was all stolen from her and there was nothing she could do about it. The murder of her parents was a permenent stain on her conscience, she never saw them but she can remember the sound of them being cut down clearly. The old geniune version of herself died with them and she quickly learned how helpless she was. A servant helped her escape and flee to the wild mountains, despite her cries for her parents. She was angry with the orcish servant who saved her at first. But Nina is grateful to her guide nowadays. She grew to be a cheery woman, doting and sympathetic even in the harsh terrain she hid in. This is her way of protecting herself, she used her kindness and uses people’s guilt to manipulate them. She purposefully hopes that people underestimate her so that she can attempt to coax them into a situation that benefits her and the people she cares about.

TALORA
Mer - Maid

Age on the day of the attack: 18
Current age: 30

That night, Talora wasn’t the strongest in illusions or enchantments. Her strength was her knowledge of the human world. She’d begged to come to learn more about them: she took every chance to mingle whenever they stopped on their journey to the capital. So when it was time to flee, she was the fastest, then the best at blending in on their journey to the sea.

She’s a performer. Each day she wakes up, pretending to know what she’s doing and hasn’t failed the act yet.


GUIDE TO THE HEIR OF MULIAH


ROSETTA 'Rose' BEATRIX
Human - Female

Age on the day of the attack: 13
Current age: 25

Rose hails from a family that served the royal family of Muliah for ages in many different ways. Some were knights, others were servants, and some were even mages. Rose although not related by blood to the family, for she was a foundling, was raised by them as one of their own, and upon becoming seven years old was sent into the capital to be a loyal friend and servant to the young Espen.

Rose is a calm collected and caring person although the ways she shows it to the world might appear weird for the many times she nagged at Espen as if she was his elder sister. Although she tries to appear as ladylike as possible sometimes she forgets about it and slips back to her tomboyish days of early youth. Her biggest weakness is being honest to a fault which at certain times does lead to trouble, but her being her means any trouble that comes her way makes her life a bit more fun. She might seem unapproachable at times but its just her not knowing how to properly convey her emotions to others.

THE HEIR OF NAJUD


GABRIEL IBN DAR AL-NAJUD
Djinn - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 98
Current age: 110

Undoubtedly the oldest of the group; at times acting incredibly immature prankster despite that, and at other times taking on the grown airs of a flirt. Gabriel has remained in a childish stature up until he reached a century's worth of age, only then growing to take on a slightly more adult physique. His white hair is long and disheveled, and tattoos cover his strong arms.

Carefree and adventurous, Gabriel typically gets himself in many troubles among all walks of life. From smoothly traveling the terrains to worming his way into a lady's heart, he's the type of person that can fit in anywhere. But his playful attitude doesn't carry him forever.

Partly thanks to the everlasting lives of djinn, Gabriel became mellowed and unambitious long before the incident that shook the kingdoms. With his father serving Najud for the past decades, watching as other generations of rulers come and go, Gabriel believed that the position was one of the least important things for him to worry about at the time. It was peaceful, and his father surely could never die of natural causes. As such, the heir let go of himself. He developed the mischievous demeanor still with him today, using his unlimited freetime to enjoy himself—even if the end result was a scolding.

But as fate would have it, the long-lasting eternity he took for granted hit a turn in the road, and all he knew fell apart when he was forced to go into hiding.

Gabriel has become more resigned to his life than ever before, indulging more and more in his momentary pleasures and desires. He did not take the throne seriously, and now somebody else has. And he'd much rather live the carefree life he's found himself in than to die trying to take back something he was never truly ready for...


THE HEIR OF LE'VEN


SIMRAN 'Simi' PALAMON
Elf - Female

Age on the day of the attack: 14
Current age: 26

Elves are supposedly elegant, slender, peaceful and serene. Our girl Simi is messy, sinewy, rash, and passionate. She sure does her people proud this one.

THE HEIR OF DUR'FEN


VIR'KAROK 'Vir' FEN'ILAR
Orc - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 9
Current age: 21

Vir is the Heir to the clan of Fen'Ilar (meaning 'Great Ones', in orcish)- a legendary clan of warriors and leaders that has led the orc tribes since the start of the Great Peace. When his parents were killed, the other tribes immediately tried to take the throne and, if he ever returned to Dur'Fen, he would almost certainly be killed.

Vir is a rather gentle soul, who doesn't really fight or stand up for himself, though he will protect others if they are in need. This sort of attitude is frowned upon in orcish culture, and he's always been a bit of an outcast among his own kind. Outside of Dur'Fen, the assumption is that all orcs are savage brutes, and he has a hard time convincing anyone that he would prefer to grow flowers over tearing them limb from limb.

GUIDE TO THE HEIR OF NAJUD


ALEKSANDER DRAGOMIR
Elf - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 8
Current age: 20

he is charismatic, radiating mischief and sunshine. possessing elegance yet a bit of clumsiness. a sense of humor with a sarcastic undertone, often being the object of laughter. despite everything, aleksander continues to keep an optimistic outlook, even with the heavy burden of survivor’s guilt resting on his shoulders. tearing him down bit by bit. aleksander possesses an inferior complex, tearing himself down while others rise above him. another trait - alec can’t stand being alone. the thought of being abandoned terrified him. he is always seen surrounding himself, lost in the crowd to drown out his thoughts, feeling whole again. he may act confident, but the reality is alec craves physical touch and validation. he can be stubborn, but willing to cooperate. someone who is protective of his people, willing to risk his life. the thought of losing the people he holds close again, terrifies him.

he is the youngest — by a year — of three. kavan and adriel being his older brothers. those he looked up too and idolized as a young elf. it should have been him that died. but that wasn’t the case. living in an abusive household with an absentminded mother. his father was a high elf of le’ven ( having been warriors for generations ) until he was trialed for treason. betrayed by his own brother. the new family was banished to the outskirts of le’ven where alec’s father drank his pain away while their mother grew mute, refusing to eat and ignoring the needs of her children.

she would pass away when aleksander was four. he never really knew the real reason she had died. later, aleksander would watch his father die at eight-years-old. seven years after his mother died, leaving kavan and adriel to take care of aleksander.

it had been the day the summit was attacked. their father having made plans to sell them for more booze money. amidst the chaos, aleksander witnessed his father dying right before his eyes. shortly witnessing his eldest brother; kavan push him out of the way of a sword. killing him instantly. adriel followed shortly afterward leaving aleksander with nothing but guilt. he was alone. and that terrified him.


GUIDE TO THE HEIR OF LE'VEN


HATKWILDAE 'Dae' FERALHEART
Theriander - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 10
Current age: 22

Dae is a member of the Feralhearts- the wolf clan that took over Muliah when the bears were killed. He sided with the bears and was cast out by his family to roam the wilds alone.

He's a rather reserved, quiet person, though when roused he will lash out with the fury of a thousand angry wolves, and only a few people are able to cut through the haze and calm him down.


GUIDE TO THE HEIR OF DUR'FEN


SA'ID AL-NAJUD
Djinn - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 8
Current age: 20

Sa'id is a young Djinn, though he tends to forget. He's restive, seeing mortal toils as his own and tends to take matters into his own hands, instead of letting things run their course. He has yet to mellow out in a way that's characteristic of immortal beings. Since the incident, Sa'id has only ever known a life of uncertainty. Despite this, he often finds humor in dim situations. He's adaptive & socially confident, able to talk circles around his odd jobs' employers in order to sway his pay or other conditions.

His been able to support his heir and himself for so long thanks to his own resourcefulness. He finds it difficult to trust people, so he's become highly perceptive of others, if only to protect himself. As a result, there are often times when he'll carry an otherworldly, all-knowing air about him; these are perhaps the only time one is reminded of his nature as a Djinn.
 
Ayama Ayama hellow ! quick question ! but i know that the entire group stuck together after the fall, but would they have split up after a while ? in groups of two or more ? or would they have remained together up until the roleplay starts ? or well would they have met up after splitting off, kind of thing ? 's just wanted to be sure since i am hopefully going to finish the majority of aleksander's stuff save for plotting relationships with the other babes ! and his history debatably lol



just gonna toss this out here again to see if anyone would like to plot a sibling relationship with alec ^^ someone he'd latch onto after the death of his older brothers !

No they don't stick together- they split up; it's all in the Interest Check (unless I wrote it in a confusing manner and am simply oblivious, which is possible).
I feel like Alek viewing Simi as an older sister would be kinda awesome.
 
I think it’d be kinda funny if Nina was kind of a sheltered kid who didn’t know much about the world above water. So her first time out of the water her mind was blown. Like home girl was impressed at the sight of flowers. Anyways take a meme I drew over of child Nina ft. A horse

Ayama Ayama gotcha ! sorry about that ^^ i probably did read it and knowing myself it slipped my mind oof my horrible memory is going to be the death of me, i swear. but sorry for the stupid question ghuhui i probably should have reread the interest check before asking lol

and ye - i'm down for simi and alec having sibling vibes ^^ he'd v much love to have an older sister ! he'd probably give her little gifts like flowers and whatnot lol

OKAY i am ALIVE again 😤😤😤
Gabriel is kind of a romantic, and seeing how many people are in need of potential crushes, I am making him available 😏

wink wink
I’d like to plot about these two if that’s okay. Is it okay to dm you? Or would you prefer to plot here?
 
@Fellow Guides

While Talora was part of the diplomatic party Ig-Kilar, she was the youngest. So she wouldn't have any authority. She came for fun: to learn about humans, and playing this part was the price for that. If that makes sense?

While i dont quite understand [mainly cause I'm so damn tired] but if Talora wanted to learn about humans then she had the heir she serves and Rosa there as humans. But if you mean it by Talora went out at some point got in trouble with some humans and she had to pay the price, or someone had to deescalate the situation or just straight up rescue her from it.

but if its about the possibility of helping her escape from said situation then Rose will gladly be a part of it.

Sorry. Communicating while tired is not a skill of mine apparently. I have it so that she begged her mother to go originally (like 12 years ago). She'd be the youngest of that diplomatic group, and while she was allowed to have fun on the way to the human realm, she had responsibilities/to act mature once they reached the palace.

I was going to say the other guides might not have taken her seriously, but both Rose and Sa'id were younger than her. So never mind that. For some reason, I assumed they were adults, like then. I'm blaming the fatigue. You can totally ignore this and the previous post.
 
And reading and literally existing while tired is also a not a skill of mine so i understand that. And from what I'm seeing so far there was only one person who was older than you back then and its the heir of najud. any other character so far was younger than yours during the attack.
 
Just popping in to say I'm loving the plotting- got some craziness to deal with for the end of this week, but once's that's done I should have some time to sit down and get into the nitty gritty with y'all :3

THE HEIR OF MULIAH


QIN ADALBERN
Theriander - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 7
Current age: 19

Qin is a careful, reserved theriander. While quiet, he is willing to go to the ends of the earth to uphold his own ideals. Due to his upbringing, he is rather antisocial, and sometimes deadpan when confronted. Qin isn't shy, just rather...quiet. He's not really capable of understanding humor, and his cold pragmatism has to lead to many believing he's either pessimistic or completely devoid of most emotions. He's compassionate, but far too mute to express that, pressing affection through words instead of actions.

He bears ursine traits, with bear ears and a heavyset build. Qin isn't "fluffy"(or so he claims), but his hair seems oddly...soft. As the youngest child, Qin survived the attack solely because one of his older brothers had thrown him to the ground and shielded him with his bulk. He huddled under a dead ursine's weight for hours before finally mustering up the courage to leave the sanctuary of a brother that had died protecting him.

None would say so directly to his face, but he knows they blamed him. They blamed him for the death of his brother.

He was never the same afterward, always too silent, too quiet. The suffocating silence was deafening. The theriander himself wasn't the same afterwards, always grieving for his lost father and fallen siblings. Qin learned to grow up in silence, in quiet exile. His brother had died for him, and perhaps just some of his blood still runs in the unworthy youngest brother. he would die for even a single friend, a single person that would talk to him.


THE HEIR OF IG-KILAR


NINA RIVERA

Current age: 19

Ig-kilar’s rulers were not the best parents, they favored their duties over raising their child. Allowing Nina to grow up feeling rejected and lonely. The only time she received attention was from scoldings or lectures about how she was to be the ruler of Ig-Kilar one day and that she must meet the expectations of that role. The amount of pressure that was placed on Nina was unacceptable, especially for a child. No matter what Nina did, someone would always be unhappy with her performance. Nina was in a constant state of stress for her entire childhood.

There were sparse moments when Nina would be allowed to relax, when her parents would act like parents do. Mostly her birthday, or yearly celebrations. But her favorite day of all was when the six kingdoms would meet and she could see the other heirs and play with them.

Nina was a shy, but sweet child. She was also very intelligent and a quick study, the epitome of a gifted child. Her parents showed their daughter off, going on about how proud of her they were.

She’d begged to come to learn more about them: she took every chance to mingle whenever they stopped on their journey to the capital. So when it was time to flee, she was the fastest, then the best at blending in on their journey to the sea.

She’s a performer. Each day she wakes up, pretending to know what she’s doing and hasn’t failed the act yet.


GUIDE TO THE HEIR OF MULIAH


ROSETTA 'Rose' BEATRIX
Human - Female

Age on the day of the attack: 13
Current age: 25

Rose hails from a family that served the royal family of Muliah for ages in many different ways. Some were knights, others were servants, and some were even mages. Rose although not related by blood to the family, for she was a foundling, was raised by them as one of their own, and upon becoming seven years old was sent into the capital to be a loyal friend and servant to the young Espen.

Rose is a calm collected and caring person although the ways she shows it to the world might appear weird for the many times she nagged at Espen as if she was his elder sister. Although she tries to appear as ladylike as possible sometimes she forgets about it and slips back to her tomboyish days of early youth. Her biggest weakness is being honest to a fault which at certain times does lead to trouble, but her being her means any trouble that comes her way makes her life a bit more fun. She might seem unapproachable at times but its just her not knowing how to properly convey her emotions to others.

THE HEIR OF NAJUD


GABRIEL IBN DAR AL-NAJUD
Djinn - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 98
Current age: 110

Undoubtedly the oldest of the group; at times acting incredibly immature prankster despite that, and at other times taking on the grown airs of a flirt. Gabriel has remained in a childish stature up until he reached a century's worth of age, only then growing to take on a slightly more adult physique. His white hair is long and disheveled, and tattoos cover his strong arms.

Carefree and adventurous, Gabriel typically gets himself in many troubles among all walks of life. From smoothly traveling the terrains to worming his way into a lady's heart, he's the type of person that can fit in anywhere. But his playful attitude doesn't carry him forever.

Partly thanks to the everlasting lives of djinn, Gabriel became mellowed and unambitious long before the incident that shook the kingdoms. With his father serving Najud for the past decades, watching as other generations of rulers come and go, Gabriel believed that the position was one of the least important things for him to worry about at the time. It was peaceful, and his father surely could never die of natural causes. As such, the heir let go of himself. He developed the mischievous demeanor still with him today, using his unlimited freetime to enjoy himself—even if the end result was a scolding.

But as fate would have it, the long-lasting eternity he took for granted hit a turn in the road, and all he knew fell apart when he was forced to go into hiding.

Gabriel has become more resigned to his life than ever before, indulging more and more in his momentary pleasures and desires. He did not take the throne seriously, and now somebody else has. And he'd much rather live the carefree life he's found himself in than to die trying to take back something he was never truly ready for...


THE HEIR OF LE'VEN


SIMRAN 'Simi' PALAMON
Elf - Female

Age on the day of the attack: 14
Current age: 26

Elves are supposedly elegant, slender, peaceful and serene. Our girl Simi is messy, sinewy, rash, and passionate. She sure does her people proud this one.

What started out as a quiet, timid little girl, has blossomed into adulthood as a loud, energetic and rather coarse individual. While one of the oldest of the lost heirs, Simi is currently within the depths of a second adolescence of sorts, perhaps it's due to the manner in which Elves age. Almost full to the brim of turbulent rebelliousness and unruly attitudes on a day to day basis, she currently funnels her energy into labour, working as a hired sword. Well, supposedly a hired sword that is. I'm pretty sure 'Hired-Swords' carry out the wishes and actions of their employer specifically, and don't go about quashing petty wars between rival tribes in Muliah, using cheap guerrilla tactics and then just flouncing up to whichever side ended up 'winning' and demanding fair pay for her efforts 'Or else'.

But that's just a theory.

Simran's family was a prime member of the Elven council of La' Ven, known as the Edhellen. Her Uncle was the Council's 'Revas', the elected ruler and representative of the whole of La' Ven. Within the Edhellen's rules on Titles, Simi's Father and his own family fell under the banner of being known too as 'Revasan', even though a large number of the Edhellen wished they didn't. Simi's Father had had a far more unpleasant experience with the Edhellen than that of his older brother. For he had married someone of 'Common-stock', ranking far below his own position of nobility. Simran was the first child of a genuine, loving marriage. She was adored and cherished by her parents from the very start, and for that she is forever grateful. For little else of her world ever showed her equal affection. She spent her early years growing up within the boundaries of her Mothers Tribe. Her time spent there was by far the easiest, the members of the tribe had grown up with Simran's Mother and her family, they regarded and treated Simi the same as they would any of the other village children. No petty jabs or whispered comments to be found here.

When Simran was a little older, her Father began to take her with him to his trips to the Edhellen. At first, the aim of these visits was to try and encourage a kinship between Simran and her more, 'esteemed', cousins. She was the same age as the oldest of the Revas' children after all. Perhaps then at least, her life would be a little easier within the realm of Aristocracy and Politics. However it only worked somewhat. Simi formed a timid friendship with two of her cousins, but the others only saw her occasional visits as little more than ripe opportunity to play out childish mimicries of slander and defamation of their own.

Needless to say, Simran was not overly fond of visiting the Edhellen gatherings. And remarkably less keen at the idea of attending a Summit where countless other despicable spoilt little offspring would undoubtedly dwell.


THE HEIR OF DUR'FEN


VIR'KAROK 'Vir' FEN'ILAR
Orc - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 9
Current age: 21

Vir is the Heir to the clan of Fen'Ilar (meaning 'Great Ones', in orcish)- a legendary clan of warriors and leaders that has led the orc tribes since the start of the Great Peace. When his parents were killed, the other tribes immediately tried to take the throne and, if he ever returned to Dur'Fen, he would almost certainly be killed.

Vir is a rather gentle soul, who doesn't really fight or stand up for himself, though he will protect others if they are in need. This sort of attitude is frowned upon in orcish culture, and he's always been a bit of an outcast among his own kind. Outside of Dur'Fen, the assumption is that all orcs are savage brutes, and he has a hard time convincing anyone that he would prefer to grow flowers over tearing them limb from limb.

GUIDE TO THE HEIR OF NAJUD


ALEKSANDER DRAGOMIR
Elf - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 8
Current age: 20

he is charismatic, radiating mischief and sunshine. possessing elegance yet a bit of clumsiness. a sense of humor with a sarcastic undertone, often being the object of laughter. despite everything, aleksander continues to keep an optimistic outlook, even with the heavy burden of survivor’s guilt resting on his shoulders. tearing him down bit by bit. aleksander possesses an inferior complex, tearing himself down while others rise above him. another trait - alec can’t stand being alone. the thought of being abandoned terrified him. he is always seen surrounding himself, lost in the crowd to drown out his thoughts, feeling whole again. he may act confident, but the reality is alec craves physical touch and validation. he can be stubborn, but willing to cooperate. someone who is protective of his people, willing to risk his life. the thought of losing the people he holds close again, terrifies him.

he is the youngest — by a year — of three. kavan and adriel being his older brothers. those he looked up too and idolized as a young elf. it should have been him that died. but that wasn’t the case. living in an abusive household with an absentminded mother. his father was a high elf of le’ven ( having been warriors for generations ) until he was trialed for treason. betrayed by his own brother. the new family was banished to the outskirts of le’ven where alec’s father drank his pain away while their mother grew mute, refusing to eat and ignoring the needs of her children.

she would pass away when aleksander was four. he never really knew the real reason she had died. later, aleksander would watch his father die at eight-years-old. seven years after his mother died, leaving kavan and adriel to take care of aleksander.

it had been the day the summit was attacked. their father having made plans to sell them for more booze money. amidst the chaos, aleksander witnessed his father dying right before his eyes. shortly witnessing his eldest brother; kavan push him out of the way of a sword. killing him instantly. adriel followed shortly afterward leaving aleksander with nothing but guilt. he was alone. and that terrified him.


GUIDE TO THE HEIR OF LE'VEN


HATKWILDAE 'Dae' FERALHEART
Theriander - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 10
Current age: 22

Dae is a member of the Feralhearts- the wolf clan that took over Muliah when the bears were killed. He sided with the bears and was cast out by his family to roam the wilds alone.

He's a rather reserved, quiet person, though when roused he will lash out with the fury of a thousand angry wolves, and only a few people are able to cut through the haze and calm him down.


GUIDE TO THE HEIR OF DUR'FEN


SA'ID AL-NAJUD
Djinn - Male

Age on the day of the attack: 8
Current age: 20

Sa'id is a young Djinn, though he tends to forget. He's restive, seeing mortal toils as his own and tends to take matters into his own hands, instead of letting things run their course. He has yet to mellow out in a way that's characteristic of immortal beings. Since the incident, Sa'id has only ever known a life of uncertainty. Despite this, he often finds humor in dim situations. He's adaptive & socially confident, able to talk circles around his odd jobs' employers in order to sway his pay or other conditions.

His been able to support his heir and himself for so long thanks to his own resourcefulness. He finds it difficult to trust people, so he's become highly perceptive of others, if only to protect himself. As a result, there are often times when he'll carry an otherworldly, all-knowing air about him; these are perhaps the only time one is reminded of his nature as a Djinn.
