Felicity I Will Uncover all Secrets and all Understanding Female Shay Illaro

Speech: Color #8ad0d0

Curiosity may have killed the cat, as the saying goes, but it never said anything about what it did to the dog! And that's exactly the point this female Shay takes the most advantage of. She's always got her nose into something, sometimes quite literally and oftentimes where she shouldn't be, woe to whatever plant she knocks over or canister she upends. She always knows better, but she simply has to answer the questions that rattle around in her head almost constantly: Who's that at the door? Where does this lead? What does that do? Her entire mind is eaten up by insatiable curiosity. As a pup she shows far more energy and zeal than many a Shay, but when she's grown she'll turn her need to know into a much calmer outlet. Still inquisitive, but perhaps not as unintentionally destructive to your property or mental stress levels. Good luck keeping any secrets from her, though – knowing you know something she doesn't know will ways just make her want to know it more, and become more determined to find it out!  

She is a single-tone light powder gray, her fur laying in such a manner that her form almost has an indistinct edge, like she might blow away in the slightest breeze like a down feather despite standing around two and a half feet tall at the shoulder and weighing around seventy pounds. The frost blue of her runes make a perfect line down her spine from the crest of her head all the way to the base of her tail, and probably one of the first questions she'll ask of her Bonded, when she finds them, is what they look like; it's one of the few thing she has to rely on others to discover! You'll always know when she's on the hunt for fresh knowledge when her amber eyes start sparkling.


Akemi Glorious Reigns the Queen Quessar Illaro

Speech: Italics Bold #2f0453

Some people have a natural sense of style, of flare! They walk, talk, dress, and behave in just the right ways to ensure they look good no matter what they do. This Illaro might have been one of those people reborn into a canine! She's a queen, and she knows it. She's not arrogant in the negative sense as some queen ranks can be, but she certainly has a sense of herself and how to put her best face forward, at all times, in every direction. Every step if perfectly poised like a dancer, every look award-winning and every movement like she spent hours practicing the choreography. When she enters the room, people notice. Even in the moments when her anger slips her grasp she is stylish and sophisticated. She typically tries to avoid physical confrontation, since that is about the only thing that can ruffle her carefully-maintained coif, but when it comes to verbal throw-downs she's more than up to the challenge. Her sheer presence and refined demeanor bolsters her perfectly-enunciated Mindspeak for this who don't know elven, or even vocalized elven for those that do, leaving detractors backing down with their tails tucked and her free to ensure that not a single strand of fur slipped out of place and her daily accessory (simply a must-have!) still lays properly upon her. Sure, she's a little high-maintenance, but darling she's so worth it!

She is tri-colored in appearance: varying shades of gray on her back, over her eyes and the top of her muzzle, around her neck like a shawl, and down the front of her forelegs, white along the sides of her muzzle, and yellow-brown on her throat and underside. Her runes actually line up with this 'shawl' so it looks like they're jewels on a necklace, as well as crowning her brow in regal splendor. Her eyes are amber, not an uncommon color among wolf-canines, but were you to ask her she would say that they are as brilliant as a newly-minted gold coin.

Advisor, Guide, Confidante, Friend Male Arcane Athid Blinky

Speech: Bold Italics #500ac9

"If you ever find yourself forced to trust your life to an Athid, make it an Arcane." So goes the lore on the Athid, and this may very well be a clone of the Athid that prompted that statement. An incredibly loyal individual, he – something of an oddity as he will identify himself as male, despite being a mechanical creation; perhaps it’s the deep tenor voice – is quite brilliant, as his rank tends to be, and loves perusing through troves of books and scrolls in his free time. Perhaps because of this he tends to speak grandly, showing his extensive mental capacity and knowledge though not in an annoying or condescending manner thankfully; he's just fond of 'SAT' category words. He considers himself quite a mastermind and able to advise and instruct in all manner of fields, whether it is simple lore or even combat training. He is also patient when giving these instructions, and considers answering questions something of a duty.

But what shines most about him is his dedication to his Bonded. From the moment of meeting he sees the potential in his Bonded even if no one else does, and is quite happy to do whatever it takes to help them succeed in any endeavor, even ones that involve charging head-first into danger where he'll be right at their side or standing with them when the whole world says they're wrong. That's not saying he's a daredevil or reckless; he also cares deeply about the mental and physical well-being of his Bonded, thus planning the methods to give them the best possible means of success when they can't be persuaded from such risky adventures or there's truly no other way. He's a listening ear when needed, a comforting touch on the shoulder, a wall to bounce ideas off of or a quite calm to vent into, on top of inquiring politely whether said Bonded is eating well, sleeping enough, and having enough social interaction.  

Perhaps surprisingly, though, there is a feisty, combative side that his general mild demeanor conceals. When his Bonded goes into battle, or is threatened (or anyone/anything he cares about deeply is threatened) he will throw himself into the fight with a will. He's not above using any tool or weapon at his disposal to fight, and is fond of making alchemical concoctions that explode, catch fire, freeze, or things of the like to throw at enemies. Not only does this keep him safe as a general rule, but can cause quite a bit of chaos on the field. Thankfully for his allies, his aim is rather good with these. And his quick mind gives him a clever wit to wield against his foes as well, cutting them down with tongue (or in this case perhaps mind) as well as his bottles and modified stones.  

In form he appears as a Six Spotted Tiger Beetle with six slender legs, a narrow, lithe body covered in a blue-green enamel-covered carapice that sports six white dots on his back, a pair of large, ebony eyes, and long antenna that he tends to use to turn pages like extra hands. His entire body is made of a lightweight steel bolstered by the magics that power him to give enhanced durability, with the lodestone that is his heart ironically in the middle of his 'chest.' He often wears a band of leather around his chest where he stores a few concoctions or enchanted stones. He's a bit on the large size for an Athid – around the max three feet – so he's no pocket friend, that's for sure!  

Fury of the Deep Sea Lord Zaithand 
  
Speech: Bold #060666
  
Deep within the sea is where the emotions of the waters are born, and this Zaithand embodies the extremes of this. One moment he will be laughing and jovial, the next aggressive, even violent. He's almost the stereotypical fantasy warrior at the bar, downing drinks and spoiling for the next fight to come his way.  He doesn't overtly go out of his way to pick fights, but if there's one in the making you can count on him to be somewhere close at hand to jump in. And when he does, it's with all the rage of a typhoon crashing upon the shore! All of his great size and muscle combined with his skill at combat ensures that there are few who can stand against him, and this is a fact he knows well. So he goes into any conflict with confidence to spare for those allies who might be less-than self-assured. Thankfully he never gets so blinded by rage or battle-drive that he can't stop when the opposition lies defeated. Why should he? That's when it's time for the victorious to gather together to celebrate!  
  
Like other Seas, he is a tall and broad fellow, powerfully built and should he stand upon his hind easily able to put his paws on the shoulders of a grown man. Mainly a moderate azure blue, he has a lighter sea blue and aqua rippling over his legs from midpoint down. His eyes are rather dark blue-green that look almost blue-black when he gets angry or is in the heat of battle, matching the dual horns upon his brow.
