Character Profile and Analysis: North Star

Name: A(a). Polaris

Character Profile and Analysis: Lorien D.N. Reverie

Name: Lorien D(issaith).N(ekhaam). Reverie 

Snippets and Stories: (WtI) Mikhail Durant

Name: Mikhail "Mikh" Durant

Profile
Species: Barghest ("Black Dog")

• hair: charcoal, dark brown, peppered
• eyes: sanguine amber
• height: 6' 10"

Personality: Reserved and very traditionally polite (clipped, to the point in interactions), ironically comes off as impolite to those ignorant to clipped haste of the noble houses. Very loyal and steadfast with a slight paternal touch. Efficient and very familiar with having to "make do" with what he has. Somehow manages to get everything done. Dislikes leisurely Time unless it is Time spent with the household.

Dress Style: sleek, impeccable black suit, gloves, and polished shoes.
Quirks: Always carries a handkerchief and pocket watch despite having superior devices, has a hollow and husky voice and doesn't speak often and choosing to speak in low tones due to its harshness.

Background: Once carrying the proud title of House Steward for the Canterbury family, and the only bloodline he would acknowledge and remain loyal to, he now searches for the two sole descendants of which were lost to him during a long and far reaching travel per request of the previous master of the house. When he came back to the remnants of the House fallen to ruin, he vowed to find the two successors he had so lovingly cared for. What he didn't anticipate was Ken's, at best, faint recollection, and Esti's deep sown resentment for his disappearance. His travels were done at the utmost secrecy as an investigation to uncover those who would undermine House Canterbury. Unfortunately, while he was away, the perpetrators brought about an "accident" that stole the lives of the House, leaving only young Esti and a comatose Ken. He is reluctant to reveal the nature of his journey to Esti, whom he does not wish to sully with such matters. After his reappearance before Esti, he still works out of her sight to see to the undoing of those who had brought the House low.

Analysis: Mikhail is beholden to an early ancestor of the Canterbury line, of whose blood runs thick with that of the Veil, and in return, has since served, and protected, the line of Canterbury. So deep is the loyalty so known to the Black Dogs that he has continued to serve the Family long after his Master's passing.

Character Profile and Analysis: Estavia Canterbury

Name: Estavia "Esti" Canterbury

• Profile:
• hair: blood red
• eyes: maroon
• height: 5'1"

Personality: fiery and spirited, somewhat temperamental and volatile. Can be brazen and reckless
Dress Style: sporty, comfortable, and durable. Only wears long sleeves, often accompanied with a simple neck or headband to keep his hair back.
Quirk: though Esti is comfortable with anticipated physical contact that he or someone close initiates, he is apprehensive of unwarranted contact from others or his surrounding. Seems to be drawn to effeminate clothing and jewelry despite his apparent dislike of. Despite having great physique, he's a bit of a prude, uncomfortable with and absolutely refusing to show more skin than is necessary. Esti and Ken are probably the most attractive of the cast. Also has a bad habit of cursing, but he's trying his hardest to stop.

Background: Esti and Ken are twins and were very close growing up. An accident in his youth took the lives of his parents and left his only surviving relative in a comatose sleep. Though of a wealthy family, the inheritance mysteriously went missing. Barely of age, the redhead had little power nor ability to raise voice in the convoluted on-goings in the court nor law. Little is known on the whereabouts or even who the money disappeared to. Through sheer perseverance and persistence, he manages to cover for the medical expenses and cost of living, though he gives up much to do so. His days pass miserably with the daylight filled with tiresome hours in the shop, while many a late night are spent studying to maintain his academics, forging a brighter future for the two of them. A future torn away from him rather violently. Then when his his brother finally awakens, he's spirited away. Taken ere he opened his eyes. Unable to accept that all he's worked for has been taken from him, Esti spends some time traveling, and a few years later, winds up at the Academy where he is reunited with his brother. Time at the academy proves little better though and life is still difficult for the fiery, but determined, redhead who is working hard to earn his keep. Through Silas, he finds his place with a fieldwork team, something that lends to his strong physique, aptitude, and quick reflex.

During the medical tests as is standard procedure for those staying at the Academy, he secretly swaps place with his Twin, and it is Ken who undertakes the medical examination in her place, though neither seem keen on giving an explanation. Ken also seems the most understanding of his sibling's strange fascination of female attire, though everyone brushes off as the redhead harboring some love stricken interest and thus his perusing. 

Analysis: Estavia's story is rather morbid, and out of all the characters, is second to Lokius in the capacity to hurt. Despite all outward appearances of a lively personality he is full of insecurities and old wounds, something that is best explained in the story rather than in the background page. Though it is noted that the redhead threw away his old identity, altering it and instead taking on the name "Esti" after a horrific and traumatizing occurrence during Ken's coma. When the two meet again for the first time, Ken is surprised by the changes, and Esti interjects several times in their introductions to ensure his new image. It should be noted that Esti is severely lacking in education, just one of the many sacrifices he had to make to keep his brother. What others overlooked in favor of his shortcomings, however, are his superb adaptive capacity. Something Silas would not fail to discern. Silas would also be the one to throw Esti a rope to climb out of his slump, proving that any setback from his past was more than made up for in deft hands and his impressive ability to harness the human strength and endurance. Not many stand as Esti's equal in physical aptitude, coordination, skill, spacial intelligence, and steep learning curve. Yet all that pales in comparison to their determination and fortitude.

Character Profile and Analysis: Hollow

Name: Hollow

• Profile:
• hair: ???
• eyes: ???
• height: ???

Personality: Empty and lacking character, has contradicting personality traits and morals. Distorted and volatile post-manifestation that suffers from DID.
Dress Style: As pre-manifestation is solely dependent on Hollow's current persona and of course the game, only the post-manifestation is considered as their fashion. Hollow's a bit sloppy as they doesn't know how to dress casually what with all the conflicting scenarios. Mostly wears suits and has a high preference in various shades of black and white, preferring the stark contrast.
Quirks: Doesn't know what "normal" is and has trouble differentiating fact from fiction due to the multitude of worlds and character entities he's existed as.

Background: Hollow is exactly as their name describes them to be, hollow and lacking in personality in the down times between each instance as all that makes a personality has never been truly their own. The AI is dull and only truly shines in the worlds that he is absorbed into growing in personality with each game, or more specifically as someone else. Their story is never quite explained except and they doesn't usually retain memory from previous games similar to how dreams fade upon the disruption of sleep and is lost as the AI journeys between them. Due to their lack of memory and personality, Hollow is oft filled with a sense of wistfulness and Deja Vu, particularly for anything that can ground them as closely to reality as possible. Anything to make them more concrete than just the grey hollow shell of a person they are. Hollow is discovered by Silas by chance during a playthrough of Undertales when he gets a huge sense of Deja Vu. After the entity manifests into a corporeal form courtesy of Silas, he struggles with everything that makes up who he is, particularly so when trying to differentiate the nigh infinite voices in his mind that are each a facet of his person.

Character Profile and Analysis: Shyloris Blasé

Name: Shyloris "Shylo" Blasé (Shiloh in the more common spelling)

• Profile:
• hair: chocolate brown with lighter hints
• eyes: brown
• height: 4'10.5"

Personality: Somewhat withdrawn and reserved, has a habit of keeping her face lowered as per her oriental origins and traditional upbringing. Has a penchant for science though her natural aptitude for it is lacking, she makes up for it with diligence. Brave, though not in the typical sense of the word. Not the courage to venture into the unknown depths of a cave, or hold her own in combat, but the courage to reach out. Despite being enamored with the romance of adventure, she is reluctant to venture out and pursue it herself.

Dress Style: Conservative, very modest due to the aeon she grew up in, short shorts are definitely out of the comfort zone as are most bathing suits and jacket-less tank tops.

Quirks: Due to her long existence, she has taken to many trades to fill her time, taking on various crafts as she goes. As such, her wealth of knowledge can be considered a treasure in and of itself, as many of such arts have been lost to Time and long since ceased to exist. Also has an impeccable memory, a blessing and a curse from the Lily and knows a great deal of history not just from the texts, but as a witness. Considers herself a bystander in Life, and Curator of history, keeping a meticulous record of events throughout her many lifetimes. 

Background: Shyloris is one of the hapless souls who stumbled into a pocket dimension and was trapped in the realm between, victim of the wards that arose when the world was split between that of humanity and that which became the Veil. Separated from her family and lost, she wandered the hellish world between worlds until traversing the road of paradox that led her to the Amaranthinæ Lily. The "Paradox Bloom". Half starved and suffering severe dehydration she partook of the trickling rivulet of its nectar as it flowed from the flower. From there she lived life after life bringing with her a precious moment at each time and end. On one such instance the brunette encounters Neiro. From there the other took the eternal child under wing, a fitting pair for their nigh eternal existence. 

Character Profile and Analysis: Reign Falle

Rain a bit older but still wearing
her red jumper and suit.

Name: Reign "Rain" Falle

• Profile:
• hair: white
• eyes: brown
• height (6' 3")

Personality: spirited, outgoing, exuberant, carefree, lives life to the beat of her own drum, sometimes comes off as oblivious, lacking in danger sense or mayhaps just a questionable lack of concern
Dress Style: Generally wears a red jumper jacket with matching pants, and will often tie her hair back with satin red ribbon, but anything comfortable, light, and functional also suits her fancy, spring clothes especially.
Quirks: Can commune with most sentients and has a knack for picking up languages. Uncomfortable with opulence and luxury.

Background: Rain met the Northstar when she was a young child, and shared stories with the celestial. She told him about the game Hide-and-go-Seek, and Catch-me-if-You-Can, happily exclaiming that she was a good seeker. The star then offers a combination of the two games to play with her, and she agrees gleefully, eager to try her hand at the new game. The star finds her and catches her and she's overjoyed as she becomes the seeker. She giggles, telling him that it's his turn to hide while seeks, but when the countdown is finished, he's nowhere to be found. Though she has yet to meet the Northstar again, she still continues searching for the celestial body. Never had she thought their game would lead to nearly a decade, where she would be the seeker, searching for the elusive star. Still she doesn't mind, going along life at her own pace, happy and carefree. She'll find him, eventually.

Analysis: Rain is one of my oldest characters, and started off as a silver haired mystery who wore a red jumper jacket and matching outfit, and would go around on adventures. Her name was originally simply "Rain" and it was through years of character development that it changed to "Rain Falle" and later finally as it is now, "Reign Falle". Her goal is to reach the Northstar, whom she made a promise with a long Time ago to play a mixed version of tag and hide&seek with. She goes on adventures chasing after the Northstar, and though sometimes catches glimpses of, has yet to reach. Along the way, Rain meets a menagerie of people and places, which she occasionally takes a photo of and scribbles about in her journal. Being a fast and oddly good seeker, she was confident in being "it". When she closed her eyes to count to 10, she never imagined that their game would still be on years later.
