The Darklight Chronicles NPC's

All the main characters of the Darklight Chronicles.

General
*Name: Robyn
Nickname(s): Crybaby, Little Wing
*Age: 18
*Gender: F
*Alignment: LG
*Faction: Templar
Occupation: Templar Scout
*Appearance(Image):

Spoiler:

Traits
*Preferred Weapon(s): Bow & Arrow
*Skills: Climbing, Jumping, Marksmanship
Abilities: Hawk-Like Eyesight enables Robyn to see over incredibly vast distances at optimal clarity.  Robyn can leap into the air to heights unfathomable to mere men.
*Experience Level: Trainee
Item(s): Long Bow, Gloves.  Robyn is still in possession of the purple friendship marble in the trio of marbles that she and her friends got one another as children.

Personality
*Likes: Singing, Water, Birds, Castles, High Up places
*Dislikes: Wild monsters, rude people, being teased, feeling useless or helpless, her heritage derived "nicknames", fighting
*Fears: Lightning, General Storms, Wild Monsters, Fire, Public Speaking...honestly, just about everything.
*Values: Justice, Friends, Equality
*Bad Habits: Robyn has a tendency to get her feelings hurt easily and the result tends to be crying
*General Personality: Robyn is deathly serious about fitting in and being of use but her small stature, combined with the misfortune of being a Zuman in Sydna makes it difficult for her.  She's very timid, emotional, and childlike but she has a big heart and is dead set on proving she can be a hero. She is rather sweet and easy to get along with if one were to just talk to her and get to know her as Brace and Valentine had.
Trademark: Robyn's occasional crying fits are one trademark.  Waterfalls practically blast from her eyes when it gets really bad and her voice can rupture eardrums.  Robyn doesn't like people to hear her sing.  If she notices anyone listening, she tends to freeze up and run away.  She wears the long gloves and high boots because there are feathers beneath them that she hides so people will leave her alone.

Background
Brother(s): N/A
Sister(s): N/A
Mother: Unknown
Father: Unknown
Non-Immediate Family: Jeannie Heart (Aunt, Guardian)
*History: Robin has been living with her aunt, another Bird Zuman, in Chronescia since she was an infant.  She was always small and emotional.  Unfortunately, her heritage led to much teasing.  Her crying fits have practically become the stuff of legend.  She's managed to get better about it.  Since she made it known that she intended to join the Templar, she's been teased endlessly.  Even after she made it, the old crowd stopped but a new one gathered, claiming that a filthy monster had no place in the Templar...this is one that often makes her cry.  Even after making it into the Templar, she was dropped into the position of a simple Scout.

In her childhood, Robyn was particularly good friends Brace And Valentine.  They vowed to one day enlist in the Templar together.  However, tragic circumstances split them up before they ever got the chance.  She later joined the Templar of her own volition as a means of filling the void and to prove herself.

General
*Name: Rose
Nickname(s): Witch, Demoness
*Age: Immortal
*Gender: F
*Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
*Faction: Badlands
*Species: Succubus
Occupation: Queen of the Badlands
*Appearance(Image):

Spoiler:

Traits
*Preferred Weapon(s): She often uses Oversized Chakrams.  Also, she can transform her two lead servants, Wyvern and Bogie, into a large scythe, which is her primary weapon.
*Skills: Rose is a master manipulator but she is also surprisingly skilled at ruling.  Furthermore, she is a master of dark magic.
Abilities: Being a succubus, Rose has the ability to hypnotize using her supernatural beauty, psychically seducing anyone into doing anything for her.  She can also control the bat-like monsters that follow her around.  These bats can also be made to transform into her wings, allowing her to fly.  She is stronger than standard humans, can become invisible, and has a kiss of death.  She can transform smaller monsters (like her two servants) into large beasts.  She also has lordship over monsters, intelligent and otherwise.  Monsters are compelled to follow her will. Rose is somehow linked to the Darklight, which fuels her ability to draw power from fear and even harness fear into a form of dark energy. However, most of her powers are waning due to whatever has happened to the Darklight.
*Experience Level: Adept++
Item(s): The Violet Crown

Personality
*Likes: Darkness, Quiet, Toying with people's minds, her "job," relaxing, reading, bubble baths
*Dislikes: Noise, daylight, ignorance, hypocrisy, tediousness
*Fears: Rose presumably fears nothing conceivable of the mortal world.  Whether she is actually without fear or is just a master of controlling her fear is unknown.
*Values: Rose doesn't seem to care about much of anything. She is simply compelled to her actions.
*Bad Habits: Being overly casual or nonchalant.
*General Personality: Rose is surprisingly well read and speaks often times with the utmost wisdom despite her utterly nonchalant and cold demeanor.  She carries herself with a calm, yet regal and sophisticated air.  She is quite the manipulator and seems to constantly be scheming or working some sort of angle.
Trademark: Rose enjoys making fun of people who she notes have trust issues towards her.

*History: (See the Legend of the Dark)

General
*Name: Valencia
Nickname(s): Valentine, Val
*Age: 19
*Gender: F
*Alignment: --
*Faction: --
*Species: Human
Occupation: Templar Agent
*Appearance(Image):

Spoiler:

Traits
*Preferred Weapon(s): Valentine fights primarily with two weapons.  First and foremost is a sword almost as big as she is, which she has dubbed "Widow Maker" or simply Widow.  The sword is incredibly heavy and also has a seal on it that allows it to utilize holy magic.  The second is a peculiar handgun that she refers to as the "Sun Eater."  It is a strange weapon that draws on the power of the sun (likewise the power source of the various "Holy" spells, implying several things about the weapon's origin) and unleashes it in the form of an incredibly powerful shot.
*Skills: Apparent combat expertise, holy magics, tracking, cooking
Abilities: Valentine is a super soldier.  She's capable of effortlessly juggling around Widow Maker, which weighs literally half a ton, with one hand.  The weight of the weapon also hardly affects her movement speed, which is nearly four times that of a standard human.  Her senses also seem acute for a human.
*Experience Level: Adept+
Item(s): Val is still in possession of the Green Marble in the trio of Friendship Marbles that she, Brace, and Robyn got one another as children.

Personality
*Likes: --
*Dislikes: Monsters
*Fears: --
*Values: --
*Bad Habits: --
*General Personality: Once upon a time, Val was incredibly kind, generous, and angelic in a sense, loving to take care of others and help how she could.  She was always girlish but also always tried her best to put on a tough face and hide that side of herself when the situation called for it.  She detested the grotesque and practiced the utmost etiquette, though was enough of a tomboy to not wince at needing to get her hands dirty.  She viewed Robyn as something of a little sister and was clingy towards Brace, getting annoyed with him when she felt he was ignoring her.

However, things seem to have changed as of late.  Since her reemergence she seems to be an almost entirely different person.  She hardly speaks at all, seems far less hesitant towards getting violent, and her contempt for monsters has (to some extent understandably) intensified to the point of obsessive need to eliminate them.  She has become secretive and coldhearted, as well as rather emotionally subdued.
Trademark: --

Background
Brother(s): Ivan (Adoptive)
Sister(s): None
Mother: Claudia (Adoptive)
Father: Colt (Deceased), Oswald (Adoptive)
Non-Immediate Family: Regis (Adoptive Cousin)
*History: Years ago, Valentine was best friends with Robyn and Brace.  She was the logic and reason of their happy little trio, often pointing out how Brace was going to get them into trouble.  Still she'd follow them in their antics. When Brace got the idea that the three of them would enlist in the Templar together (assuming their parents would let them), Valentine was all for it, having determined that she'd like to help people and be a healer.  However, when the three of them decided to sneak out of town one day for a visit to the city, everything changed and tragedy split them up.

Val returned years later, almost a completely different person.  But what's more, she was apparently affiliated with the Templar despite Brace having never heard mention of her while he was in the Academy.  She was no healer, however.  She was some sort of one-woman-army.

General
*Name: Brace
Nickname(s): N/A
*Age: 19
*Gender: M
*Alignment: L/G
*Faction: Templar
*Species: Human
Occupation: Templar Knight
*Appearance(Image):

Spoiler:

Traits
*Preferred Weapon(s): Lances, Separable Dual Lance
*Skills: Armed Combat, Tactical and Strategic  Adept, Holy Magics
Abilities: N/A
*Experience Level: Intermediate
Item(s): Brace is still in possession of the blue marble in the trio of friendship marbles that he and his friends got one another as children.

Personality
*Likes: Comics, capes, improving, technology from more advanced regions (ala Grandus and Heelia), weapons, the "Heroes of Vangelon" trading card game, cloud watching, apples and apple-based food products.
*Dislikes: Seeing others hurt, standing idly by while someone suffers
*Fears: Failing to protect those he cares about
*Values: Friends, responsibility, valor
*Bad Habits: Brace isn't the most attentive person in the world when it comes to things that don't involve heroics and knighthood.  In fact, he's rather oblivious, most of the time.
*General Personality: Brace has a habit of being overprotective of Robyn and others he cares about, feeling that it's entirely his responsibility to look out for them.
Trademark: Brace tries to maintain decorum but often loses composure over things from his childhood, such as comics, trading cards, and toys he used to collect.  He knows absolutely everything there is to known about the Heroes of Vangelon series.

Background
Brother(s): N/A
Sister(s): Jan
Mother: Gloria
Father: Ivar
Non-Immediate Family: Unmentioned
*History: In the old days, Brace was good friends with Robyn and Valentine.  He was a rambunctious kid with a love of heroes and a desire to be one when he grew up.  Brace has always been particularly protective of Robyn because of the people who'd bully her, growing up.  He'd often come to her aid get beat up by people antagonizing her, then Valentine would have to get him out of trouble, one way or another.  He'd decided that he wanted to become a knight.  Then he could actually defend people, instead of just talking about it.  It was his suggestion that they all join the Templar together.  He could learn how to be a true protector, Val could help people like she always wanted, and Robyn could prove her worth to Chronescia so they'd leave her alone.

Alas, a dark day came upon them.  When they all decided to stop by the Templar Academy on their own one day to just take a look around, tragedy struck, splitting them up.  With Val gone, Brace decided to skip getting his parents' blessings and went ahead to join the Templar on his own, leaving Robyn behind to fend for herself until such a time that she'd join the Templar of her own volition.

General
*Name: Zed
Nickname(s): Boney
*Age: Immortal
*Gender: M
*Alignment: C/N
*Faction: Badlands
*Species: Non Boneman-Type
Occupation: Captain of the Veil Elite Guard
*Appearance(Image):

Spoiler:

Traits
*Preferred Weapon(s): N/A
*Skills: Combat Expertise, Dark Magic, Smoke Magic, Con Artistry, Tactical and Strategic Adept
Abilities: Bonemen are capable of being broken into pieces and reassembling themselves on a whim, so long as their spirit core (located within their ribcage) remains in tact.  While they can be severed at the joining points, the bones themselves are virtually indestructible.  Furthermore, Zed specifically has the ability to alter the shapes of his bones, making them razor sharp, incredibly large, whip-like, and so-on at will.
*Experience Level: Adept
Item(s): Pipe

Personality
*Likes: Messing with people (especially young people), smoking, drinking, scaring humans, money, fighting, Queen Rose, Omen (his pet raven)
*Dislikes: Humans, cheap drink, guns, modern pirates, remembering the past
*Fears: Nothing, really
*Values: Pride, hard work, space, manliness
*Bad Habits: Keeping potentially critical secrets
*General Personality: Zed is an old, battle tested soul with a silver tongue and the greed to match.  Having apparently been a pirate in his form life, Zed is a master con artist and surprisingly skilled combatant despite his lack of use for real weaponry.  While Zed is generally rather straightforward and serious when need be, he also finds great pleasure in messing with people.  He's as smart as a whip and loves to push people's buttons when he figures out what makes them tick.  While he's generally a creature of solitude and only really likes himself and his pet bird, he does hold Queen Rose in particularly high regard.  He doesn't particularly enjoy chatting up the others (unless he's going to mess with them) but he is usually willing to share wisdoms gained from an endless life of experience.
Trademark: Zed is constantly being disassembled and put back together, much to his annoyance.

Background
Brother(s): Unknown
Sister(s): Unknown
Mother: Unknown
Father: Unknown
Non-Immediate Family: Unknown
*History: A former pirate, how Zed died and became a Boneman is unknown.  However, it is known that at some point he brought his swindling ways to Sydna, where he was found out by Rose.  Rather than punish him, Rose offered him a job as captain of the Veil's security.  Zed has filled this role, now, for centuries.

General
*Name: Regal
Nickname(s): Count
*Age: 21
*Gender: M
*Alignment: C/N
*Faction: Templar
*Species: E-Class Non Revenant-Type
Occupation: Royal Tailor
*Appearance(Image):

Spoiler:

Traits
*Preferred Weapon(s): Count's signature "weapon" is his "Plasma Veil."  A cloak brought to "life" via dark seal magics.  The cape is amorphous, capable of taking on a variety of forms.  It can only be removed by his command.
*Skills: Tailoring, Dark Magic (Specifically dark renditions of Element Spells, Illusion Magic, and Seal Magic), Combat Intuition, Disguise
Abilities: While capable of feeling pain due to what's left of his humanity, as a revenant, Count is cursed with survival.  He can endure virtually anything and his body will ultimately remain unharmed though he will still ultimately experience the displeasure.  He can be stunned/dazed, knocked out, and so-on, but he won't die so long as the button holding his chest stitched together holds, as this would release his life essence and dark energy, thus rendering the body catatonic and mortal.  He is also significantly stronger than human beings as a result.
*Experience Level: Intermediate
Item(s): N/A

Personality
*Likes: Clothing, Queen Rose, Chocolate, Flowers, Theatrics
*Dislikes: Lesser creatures (AKA Humans), the sun
*Fears: Queen Rose's rejection, humiliation
*Values: Appearance, survival, intelligence, honor
*Bad Habits: Condescension and Pride, Could stand to lighten up
*General Personality: Egotistic? Check. Kind of a jerk? Check. Gets what he deserves?  Oh my, check.  Count isn't the most agreeable person, but if anything can be said about him, it's that he's trustworthy.  The man never goes back on a promise, deal, or any other form of agreement.  He gets his kicks in a few ways.  One of which is antagonizing lesser creatures (mostly humans).  Another is chasing Rose (whom he praises as the most beautiful creature in all Vangelon) around, doing her bidding without question, only for his advances to be shot down in the process.  He also enjoys cataloguing flowers and wants only for a world that is as beautiful as the gardens where he grew up, hence his work as a tailor for Rose and gardener to her royal flowerbeds.  He tends to get theatrical and also has a weakness for chocolate, stating that it may be the only thing he could ever imagine loving as much as Queen Rose.  It's also apparent that Count would have very much preferred being a vampire, though he seems to make due.  He doesn't like to talk about the particulars of his technically not being a full Noman (apparently he never died.  He's an Exposure-Class Non).  He has a bit of a problem lightening up and takes himself rather seriously.
Trademark: The amount of physical abuse the man endures is staggering.  He'll often be interrupted by something incredibly painful while pursuing Rose's affections.  In other words, he tends to get hurt a lot, though ultimately nothing serious.  His affection towards Queen Rose is just shy of stalker-ish and worship.  He often loses his composure around her, leaving him temporarily depressed whenever she rebuffs him.  Although he is incredibly persistent and continually bounces back.

Father: Unmentioned
Non-Immediate Family: Unknown
*History: Count likes to maintain that he never died and became the way he is because of his exposure to exorbitant amounts of dark magic...and people are inclined to believe him.  He is a dark magic genius when it comes to Dark Element spells and Dark Magic Seals.  He first surfaced in the Badlands nearly three years ago, where he was immediately drawn to Rose's beauty despite her claiming that she never even used her powers on him.  Nonetheless, Rose decided to give him a job to keep him occupied and out of her hair.  He offered to become a royal tailor, crafting Rose's clothing, which he's fortunate she seems to actually like.

No one particularly questions who he was prior to his coming to the Badlands.  Yet he doesn't exactly try to hide it.  Simply put, no one cares.  He was part of a small cluster of people that lived along the border between Chronescia and the Badlands.  In this hidden settlement, he was trained to be a master of infiltration and he furthered his education, teaching himself dark magic in his spare time until he was discovered and kicked out.
