Character Name: Veera of Velen
Age: 45
Gender: Female
Race: Witcher
Appearance: Picture
Bio: Veera was trained from a young age to become a Witcher. She managed to survive the trials and tribulations, becoming accepted into the order when she turned twenty three. Two decades later, she still upholds the Witcher code and struggles to return a sense of justice to the war torn lands of her home. She has traveled over much of the country and seen many things, leaving little to surprise her. As time has gone on, she has risen in the ranks to become one of the more respected leaders left. She is kind, but the code states that a Witcher cannot accept work without payment, and this keeps her from helping many people. She is currently trying to raise enough opposition to destroy the dopplers, whom she believe are as a whole an evil race.

Race: Doppler
Appearance: ~
Bio: Tessa grew up in the makeshift city that eventually came under Bryce's rule. As such, she has been relatively sheltered from the cruelties that dopplers face, though she is under no illusion why she has to grow up in secrecy, having lost her parents to witchers at a young age. She longs to set out on her own, but is at this point too fearful.

Character Name: Alyse Starborn
Age: 45
Gender: Female
Race: Mage....
Appearance: ~
Bio: Alyse has traveled and seen much of the world. The pain and suffering she viewed convinced her to look into one of the older forms of magic; healing. With this gift she has tried to diminish the suffering in whichever corner of the world she resides in. For most of her life she accompanied Teliana the Crimson, long after the sorceress abandoned her dreams of battle and opted for a more peaceful life. She has been waiting to hear from her for some time now, and grows more worried by the day, though she is reluctant to leave the safe haven she has found in White Orchard.
Occupation: Healer, Alchemist.
Weapons : A cross bow.
Secondary Weapon : A small iron dagger.
Powers (For Mages Only): Alyse specialized in healing, and can knit bones, mend veins, and sometimes re-connect torn tissue. The bigger the injury, the more energy it takes. Her power gives her the ability to manipulate certain forces in a person's body, though this is dark magic she refrains from using. She can help both people and animals, and has a small amount of control over water, allowing her to manipulate a cup's worth.
Other: Should she use the darker side of her power, there are dire consequences.

 

Character Name: Kilian Kadmark
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Race: Half Elf
Appearance: Kilian is youthful and attractive in a rough and wild way. He has brown hair
Bio: Persecuted by both elves and humans, Kilian often felt out of place wherever he went. Having been born from a wild affair between an elf and a human merchant on one of his more exotic travels, Kilian had a strange upbringing. His father took him back to the Northern Kingdoms and tried to raise him as he would a human son, giving him a good education, teaching him how to use a bow and arrow, and treating him well. But Kilian was never supposed to live among humans and he knew it, he spent very little time in his father's home town, instead ranging off into the woods and learning the ways of the wild. Often as a youth he would try to flee home, before his father would find him again (sometimes days later) in the woods trying to eke out survival.
When Kilian was 17 his father didn't return from one of his outings. Kilian was not sad, rather, he considered this being unchained from the shackles of civilisation. Wasting no time, he went away to live in the woods as a hermit. He survived through hunting and gathering and lived like this contently for a while, away from any people. Though he did not dislike people in particular, he felt uncomfortable around large groups of them. Kilian felt much more at home amongst nature and wild forces. Though his education had left a mark on him, and he felt a deep connection with words. Words had power over humans, he would conjecture, and words could encapsulate the essence of life. And so it came to be that Kilian would write poetry of his experiences.
But one year there came a harsh and unforgiving winter, the worst Kilian had ever experienced. Shelter was scarce, food was scarcer. Kilian found himself slowly dying, away from warm fires of civilisation. But Kilian had been loyal to the forest, and the forest was loyal to him. When it seemed all hope was lost, in the midst of a terrible blizzard, a trail of blood materialised in the snow before his very eyes. Kilian had no choice but to follow the sourceless trail, which eventually led him to a path, upon which a cart had broken a wheel. The healthy young farmer did not notice the emancipated hermit as he approached, guided by some mysterious force. It was obvious what needed to happen. Kilian well understood the meaning of “kill or be killed”, for that was the nature of the forest.
What happened after that is too horrible to recount, but Kilian came into contact with wild forces. He was taught of dark, messy magic of wood and stone, of blood and bone, and with this knowledge his mission became clear. It was kill, or be killed.
Kilian still writes poetry, but it has taken a turn for the dark, he has discarded his lovely, petty poems of the past and now writes to embody the essence of raw power and emotion, an intermingling of beauty and pain.
Occupation: Forest hermit
Weapons: Bow and Arrow
Secondary Weapon: Knife
