((The following is common knowledge.))
Midor
It once had a reputation for being stern but fair. Now the White City has a reputation for being wantonly cruel and xenophobic.
White Bishop Vidus Khain
Description:
His care-worn face shows a lifetime of struggle. Every line, every wrinkle has a story of pain and sacrifice in the service of his faith. He is of medium height and unassuming build. His gray hair and calm manner add an air of quiet dignity to his presence.
Bio:
Second only to Midoran himself in his reign of the holy city of Midor, Vidus is credited with bringing true holiness and justice back to Midor after a series of events threw the city into chaos and darkness. His most notable move has been to introduce the mysterious and deadly efficient Righteous Swords to bring order to the city. With the New Order having been firmly entrenched as the rightful governing body of Midor and all internal opposition quashed, he has re-formed the clergy into a new and ruthless breed of priests—The Righteous Sword Supremists.
High Paladin Johanas Uvanle
Description:
The white of his eyes are in sharp contrast to his swarthy skin. He is of medium height and build and moves with a cat-like grace. His face is a myriad of expressions, making it very easy to read his mood simply by looking at him.
Bio:
Head of the Righteous Swords as well as the Paladin Order.
High-Captain Sir Percival Sanner
Bio:
One of a handful of Paladins to accept Vidus’ offer to leave the Paladin Order and join the ranks of the Righteous Sword Knights. Zealous, merciless and uncompromising, it’s hard to find a more fitting representative of the Righteous Swords.
Lord-Bishop Gabriel Certos
Bio:
Answering directly to the White Bishop, he leads the reformed Church of Midor and the Righteous Sword Supremists.
The Novus Aristi
What started off as a rebellion against the corruption of the Midoran Church has burgeoned into a worldwide attempt to carry on the torch of justice and light in the world.
Blanche La Belle (High Priestess, Hands of Mercy)
Description:
Barely out of her twenties, this frail young woman has long white hair. Her face is usually set in a gentle, nervous smile.
Bio:
Leader of the rebellion against the Midoran Church. The Church sees her as a dangerous rebel and heretic. The rest of the world sees her as a visionary: a symbol of justice, mercy, temperance, hope and peace. She is also known as The Priestess or The White Maiden. It’s rumoured that she holds the Staff of Aristi: an artefact that apparently controls the fate of Midor.
Sir Byron Lorian (High Paladin, Paladin Order of Novus Aristi)
Description:
With his blonde hair, blue eyes and broad shoulders, he's the spitting image of paladinhood.
Bio:
The Last Son of Aristi. He has an ambitious and daring plan to reinstate the Aristi Code and revive the Heralds of Aristi.
Kruvious Seyon (Bishop, Hands of Mercy)
Description:
A middle-aged man with tawny hair and a thick beard. His long-suffering expression is a testament to the years spent in the very centre of vicious Midoran politics.
Bio:
A popular and charismatic orator, Kruvious is a former Midoran Lord-Bishop who managed to escape Midor. He used to answer directly to Vidus, and has many decades of experience as both priest and politician. Many of the Aristi's leaders, including Blanche, are old friends of his.
Perriand Goodman (High Captain, Paladin Order of Novus Aristi)
Description:
This giant of a man's face is scarred from years of swordplay. He always appears tense, as if ready for an attack at any moment. He hovers on the balls of his feet, his one good eye constantly surveying the surroundings in search of any potential threats.
Bio:
Formerly charged with the responsibility of instructing Paladins at the Midoran Academy, Goodman was rescued during its destruction ((Note: unless you have actually been TOLD this IC, you DO NOT KNOW IT and assume he is dead)). He is now the second-in-command of the Aristi, and de facto leader whenever its real leaders are busy.
Rayinor Liam
Description:
An old man long past retirement age. His hair and beard are a snowy white in contrast to his tanned skin.
Bio:
Former High Captain of the Chapter of the Lion of the Paladin Order of Midor. Vanished from public view following the Battle of the Plains. Some say he is dead; others say he is missing; still others believe he is merely in hiding, waiting for a chance to reform the rebellion.
Sir Tonan (Staff Officer - Training, Paladin Order of Novus Aristi)
Description:
An impossibly old man with the haunted look that only one who has guarded the threshold of hell itself could possess.
Bio:
One of two remaining original Heralds of Aristi, Sir Tonan used to guard the Hall of Champions in Nethar’u. He is said to be a genuine Herald from the days of Aristi—although if this is to be believed, then he must be over a thousand years old. When the rebellion gathered in Haven to strike against Midor, he left his post in Nethar’u to join them in the Battle of the Plains. There are reports that he is still with the rebels, now calling themselves the Novus Aristi, and has been staying at Ladriel ever since the Battle of the Plains. ((Note: unless you have actually been TOLD any of this IC, you DO NOT KNOW ANY OF IT.))
Lady Grace (Bishop, Hands of Mercy)
Description:
This lean, raven-haired young woman possesses delicate and aristocratic features. She speaks with an odd accent that sounds slightly Midoran. Her eyes constantly rove around, marvelling at everything she sees.
Bio:
One of two remaining original Heralds of Aristi, Grace was recently brought out of a centuries-long stasis due to increased activity by Syn's minions. Some months later, she was led out of Maldovia by Byron, Willom and Iris, and joined the Novus Aristi. Her past is a mystery; she still has the odd tendency to slip out of reality into another time and another place. ((Note: unless you have actually been TOLD any of this IC, you DO NOT KNOW ANY OF IT.))
Angelius
Bio:
A celestial hound archon who serves Blanche.
Nessa Marillawen Sairina
Bio:
Blanche’s handmaiden. In the initial period of the White Maiden’s exile from Midor, Nessa was responsible for carrying out tasks in Midor on Blanche’s behalf.
The Illumine Alliance
Splintering off from the Novus Aristi movement, the Alliance is a concerted attempt to make the world a better place without imposing religious or philosophical beliefs upon its members.
Philippe Jongras (President of the Illumine Alliance)
Description:
His ready smile and brown eyes are this man's most prominent features. Dark hair tied into a neat pony-tail extends to the small of his back. The smoothness of his face makes him look younger than he really is. Newly-forming crows' feet are the only sign that this man is older than he appears.
Bio:
Former High Captain of the Chapter of the Eagle of the Paladin Order of Midor. Beheaded for heresy by the Righteous Sword Knights, although there are faint whispers that he yet lives. It would be a great embarrassment to the Midoran Church if these rumours are true. He currently heads the Illumine Alliance. |
