If you edit it and give us some idea of a character, I can potentially accept it. They will need to fit in with the world as a whole, however - a skim read of the lore might be helpful, along with seeing what other characters are in play, to get an idea of the tone and genre everyone else will be playing into.
I too have a like-dislike relationship with gfdg

CURRENT COURT ALLEGIANCE:
None
PLACE OF RESIDENCE:
The Nereid's Star
OCCUPATION:
Pirate (allegedly)
MAGICAL ABILITIES:
Orion possesses the ability to sense, create, shape and manipulate the weather to do his bidding. But the air is a wild and fickle mistress, and to say that he has complete control over this ancient force of nature would be a mistake, to say the least.
On a more passive level, he can sense shifts in atmospheric pressure and changes in weather patterns, allowing him to predict the weather (and usually without much fault) when he's paying attention, a near invaluable skill when at sea.
OUTSIDE
APPEARANCE:
Standing at 5'10", Orion is a richly tanned figure of a strong, vibrant, long-legged agility, a distinctively thick and unruly mane of crimson hair and two bright, amber eyes like sunlit brandy in crystal. His teeth are startlingly white against bronze skin, the unusually pronounced canines giving his grin a sharp, almost wolf-like feel.
He wears a shirt of a slightly darker ruby hue, often unbuttoned, and loose, dark trousers pulled in at the knee by an expensive pair of brown leather boots and a long black coat slung over his shoulders when the temperature drops. Three heavy, gold rings line the knuckles of his right hand.
Orion doesn't know what mixture of blood he has running through his veins, but it likes to show itself through odd moments in which he can take on a strangely canine manner, all sharp, snarling teeth and bright eyes; but this is all it comes to, having been too watered down over the generations to take any actual form.
EQUIPMENT:
An elegantly curved scimitar hangs on a belt at his hip, paired with two short, weighty knives sheathed on the outside of each thigh. As if this wasn't enough, he keeps a crossbow strapped to his back when upon land, and often close at hand when not.
INSIDE
SKILLS:
- Shrewd -
- Strong swimmer -
- Talented with both cutlass and crossbow -
- Fit and agile -
- Boundless confidence -
STRENGTHS:
- LANGUAGE; Orion is a gifted linguist, being more or less fluent in several languages and semi-fluent to conversational in several more, although he's unfamiliar with most of Autumn's dialects.
- NAVIGATOR; he's rarely ever lost at sea, mostly thanks to his affinity with the winds. Land may be a more uncertain territory, but give him half a map and he'd probably figure something out.
- RESOURCEFUL; he usually manages to land on his feet when in trouble, thanks to his quick wits.
WEAKNESSES:
- READING; having never received a formal education, the little of what he does know is self-taught in order to get by. He still struggles with it. He could probably get through half a simple novel before tossing it overboard.
- TRUSTING; 'naive' may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think 'pirate', but Orion can be too quick to trust despite both intellect and past experience. But don't be mistaken in thinking that this means he's any less vengeful for when it's taken advantage of.
- HEADSTRONG; Orion is always right, and when he's not... Well. Everyone has an opinion. He's usually convinced his way is the best way, and he's damn difficult to stop once he gets going.
- MORTAL; he may have stamina, but non-stop use of his magic is particulaly draining.

Rusty of Shackleford
Accepted! Love the detail, and I look forward to seeing how she fits into summer.Name : Lady Lucasta Arya de Aestas ( "Pure light of Summer" )
Species : Nephilim - Winter Angel
Age : 21The Angels, winged humanoid creatures, descended upon the land of Solus eons ago, around the time of the formation of the Summer and Winter Courts. Sources regarding their origin vary, some saying they were from another world/dimension, other stating they were beings from over the horizon. The species split into two main branches, forming close knit communities in the Winter and Summer Court respectively with several family groups dotted around the continent.
Upon their arrival, they were hailed as celestial beings from the skies and hence became prominent figures in folklore and mythology. Their descension was soon followed by the first Summer-Winter War, further establishing their position as divine heralds.
The Angels have since then taken advantage of how they were seen as all powerful, celestial creatures and rooted themselves deeply in the courts and councils of both prominent countries, forming two powerful noble families : Aestas (Summer Angels) and Bruma (Winter Angels). Despite having co-existed and mixed blood with other races, the Angels keep themselves closed off to other species, building a fierce allegiance to themselves and themselves alone.
Characteristics :
Appearance - Summer Angels tend to be blonde with the less common brown, platinum or ginger haired. They tend to have hazel, green, brown or bright blue eyes. Winter Angels tend to be platinum or silver in hair color, with the less common white, black and brown haired. They tend to have grey, silver or pale blue eyes.
Halos, gold for the Summer and silver for the Winter, are often reserved for the highest ranking angel in each family to wear at all times and for important events.
Abilities - Flight. They have developed the ability to make their wings appear and disappear though most of the time, angels prefer to keep their wings present.
The original angels were magical creatures so found it relatively easy to learn magic arts. However, they naturally possessed the power to create and control the elements of fire, light and air. Many also possessed the power of healing or mindreading (with contact). However, few pure blooded angels that bare all the powers of the originals exist and most modern angels only possess one or none of the natural powers.
Court of Birth : the Winter Court
Current Court Allegiance : Summer Court
Place of Residence : Romas, Summer
Gender : cisgender female
Sexuality : heterosexual
Occupation : Noblewoman, Summer Courtier and Fiance of Prince Bryce V
Magical Abilities : Minor Healing, mind reading. Is learning the magic arts of Solar Celestial in the hopes of awakening her elemental powers, if she has any.
Appearance : Lucasta is a woman with a gentle and alluring kind of beauty. She is slender in build with a lithe figure. Her hair is long and silky, silver in color and light as her skin. She has grey blue eyes and wings of blue, grey and white feathers.History: Lucasta was born into the noble family of Bruma or the Winter Angels, based in the Capitol city of Vidask. Ever since the first few Summer-Winter wars, the Bruma family suffered heavy casualties and member numbers were falling faster than they could be replaced. By the time she was born, the family was down to a mere 56 angels. The family too had fallen slightly out of the Emporer'ss favor as the angels were a peaceful group or at least did not support the militaristic ways of society under his rule. War would also continue to tear up the comfortable lives the angels had built for themselves.
Fearing for the safety of the fledglings as war threatened to break out once again, her father, the head of the house, made the decision to move all the youngsters to stabler and safer homes, utilizing the temporary peace of the land. Until peace was ensured and no lives would be endangered, the children were not allowed to return home. So at the age of 9, Lucasta and 6 other young angels were smuggled out of the Winter Court in the dark of night. Three were sent to live with some small groups of angels who had established themselves in Port Neptus. Two were shipped off to the Spring Islands where a handful of angels had established a small community in the mountains. And Lucasta, with her younger sister, were sent to the Summer Court, straight to the Aestas family. From that day on, aside from the Summer Angels, no one else was to know of their origin as members of the Winter Court.
As wealthy and powerful as the Summer Angels were, growing up in the Summer Court was not as wonderful as one would think. Despite taking on the name Aestas and being absorbed into the family, there was an invisible wall between Lucasta and her sister and the Summer Angels. Due to living for eons as two separate groups, the various Angels had built up prejudices against one another and no longer saw them as the same. Everyday she lived feeling the condescension and disgust of the Summer Angels who were reminded every time they looked at her, at her silver hair and grey blue eyes, that she was someone from the Winter Court. Though they treated her with politeness and civility, there was a certain coldness and alienation in everything the angels did. They'd never see her as one of them or trust her like their own. In a way, she was just like a long term investment, something they'd cash back later. All that was expected of her was to sit pretty until the day came.
However, that day came sooner than anyone would have thought. Lucasta was called into the living quarters of the Head of Aestas made a proposition, a favor as thanks for the "many years of endless nurturing and caring". The Prince of the Summer Court, Bryce V, was most likely going to be the next in line despite being a bastard. If a daughter of the House of Aestas were to marry into the royalty, their power and influenced would grow and their position would be further stabilized. However, despite all their efforts, the maidens of the Summer Angels were not able to win his favor and so Lucasta was given a chance to prove herself as something of use to the family. Though she disliked the scheme and doubted that she would even be successful, she feared what would happen if she refused.
And so, she went to her first ball. There she met Prince Bryce V for the first time and from there, everything seemed to fall into place. First it was an introduction then one dance after another. A glass of wine, a quiet conversation under the stars in the privacy of a balcony... Lucasta found herself drawn into an almost fairytale-like romance. Once they'd started formally courting, the little meetings in the dark and walks in the palace gardens and dances under the moonlight were endless, countless, whirling by. And without even realizing, she found something she didn't think she would, not in the Prince anyway. She found love. And things sped up from there. In no time, there she was, the bride-to-be of Prince Bryce V.
Loyalties : Prince Bryce V
Enemies : none
Family : The Aestas family, the Royal Family
Strengths : Lucasta is naturally charismatic and enchanting, generally knowing what to say and when to say it. She is also a great source of comfort, reassurance and peace, radiating calmness wherever she is. She is a good listener and the best person to go for advise or logical/rational views on situations and problems. She is also very observant from years living in the shadows of others.
Skills : Lucasta, despite spending most of her life in the Summer Court out of public eye, was trained for court life and learned to pretty much do everything expected of a noble woman, including skills in the arts. A Pacifist at heart who fervently tries to ensure peace in everything she does. Has a talent for music and plays a handful of instruments. Is naturally a good talker.
Weaknesses : Lucasta tends to be too soft or merciful when it comes to disciplining people, something she needs to work on. Despite being capable of delivering a wicked slap to the face, she is no fighter. She is relatively inexperienced as a courtier due to mostly living her live in the privacy of the Aestas home and only recently being introduced to court.
Likes : Prince Bryce V, music, snow, night and reading (just to name a few)
Dislikes : Summer Angels, violence and war, rudeness and unnecessarily negative behavior
Religion : n/a
