Typically she wears her hair lose (and more than a bit wild) and is usually dirty from working on something or another in a lab, fighting something or working on some new device and/or weapon.<br/><br/>When she wishes to, she can clean up nicely and plays the 'gentlewoman' but typically even when 'suitably' attired and 'in role' she has several weapons, devices, and/or spells on hand. Given her access to the Kane estate she has more money than she would typically need and can outfit herself to fit any 'role' her needs require.<br/><br/><strong>Character Summary:</strong>Born to the name and destiny of the Solomon Kane family name, Jacob found his family name had earned hm the interest of a rogue sorcerer by the name of Ephraim Waite. Waite had been a rival of Jacob's great grandfather, under an entirely different name and identity, and had found out that one of his lost grimoires were part of the family estates. Using the form of a young heiress of his family, Ephraim used his wiles, young form and magics to sneak into the family's good graces.  Using magics to first beguile Jacob, the sole surviving direct male descendant of Solomon Kane, he stole Jacob's form and left him near death in the poisoned form of the newly adopted 'Selene'.  While able to recover his lost grimoires, Ephraim wasn't able to do more than that before the family matriarch realized what had happened and drove the sorcerer from the family estates in New York state.<br/>Now stuck in the youthful form of a six year old girl, Jacob was nursed back to health and turned her energies to finding the sorcerer to extract revenge after her own form was found discarded in a Baltimore gutter. As Jacob's 'black sheep' child, she grew up under the tutelage of the family scholars and at the hands of some of the best swordsman and gunslingers of the era.<br/>Now a reknown scholar, adventuress and to the few in the know a sorceress of no small skill herself, Selene has stepped out of the shadows that the Kane family lurk in to fight those that endanger the land and her country.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>As abrasive and sarcastic as she had been as Jacob, Selene is fully aware that she walks a dark road that could lead to a very real damnation for her soul. The family records speak of the road her great grandfather Solomon Kane walked and how it nearly damned him several times. She sometimes feels that she had wasted her 'old life' as a scholar in the family tradition and is quite eager to show the world that a 'mere' woman can match wits with men and win. As a result, she occasionally steps into things before thinking them through or realizing what she might be starting unneeded battles and fights.<br/>Once she lets another past her sarcastic outer shell, they will find an intelligent woman looking for a purpose in life.<br/><strong>Equipment</strong><br/>The Staff of Solomon: A staff of wood with the head of a cat carved at one end and a sharp point at the other, covered with with ancient hieroglyphics and made of a wood long since lost to the history of time. It is one of the most powerful relics in the family's collection and she is one of the few that can use it. While she is just now learning of it's mystic might, there is yet to be any creature it could not harm.<br/><br/>Pistols: Courtesy of a family friend, John M. Browing, Selene typically carries a pair of M1911 .45 acp pistols that she wears under a jacket in a new 'harness' that allows her to carry them without too much notice. She is a good shot and when home constantly practices with the new guns.<br/><br/>Bowie Knife: A Silvered blade modeled on the classic Bowie knife.<br/><br/>Various 'devices': A consummate scholar and 'dabbler' in both science and the occult, Selene has on occasion used a variety of alchemical, clockwork and chemical tools and devices in her pursuit of Ephraim and her duties for the League.<br/><br/>Magic: Though still learning the 'dark arts' she has broken with the Kane family tradition to study only to know what to face, Selene has mastered a few spells and is constantly looking for more knowledge of the occult to add to the impressive Kane collection. She has some skill at inducing trances and sleep.<br/>(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/4260/keiraknightleyatonement.th.jpg) (http://img13.imageshack.us/i/keiraknightleyatonement.jpg/)(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/3189/6a00d8345192e469e200e54.th.jpg) (http://img37.imageshack.us/i/6a00d8345192e469e200e54.jpg/)(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/9223/keiraknightleyduchessgi.th.jpg) (http://img188.imageshack.us/i/keiraknightleyduchessgi.jpg/)<br/><hr/><hr/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i45.tinypic.com/xg9qpu.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Abigale Jane Racket<br/><strong>League:</strong>American<br/><strong>Played By:</strong>Michi No Sora<br/><strong>Age:</strong>27<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'4''<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>125 lbs.<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>Physically she is much like Mina Murray. She is of short stature and very much the fragile doll. Abby (as she is called by those close to her) is a pretty girl and rather proud of it. She knows that she is pretty and can use that to her advantage if the situation calls for it. Though her lovely body is usually covered in clothing. Abby rarely lets anyone see more than her hands and face. Even her arms are usually covered. Either by long gloves or long sleeves.<br/><br/><strong>Character Biography:</strong>Born to a rich family she spent her days in etiquette classes and learning her place as a woman. She didn't openly break away from her family. Instead she played her part as the sweet daughter. Abby has always been a quite and kind woman. She never caused an issue for her family or within her group of friends.<br/><br/>While in school she found the book The Amateur Cracksman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amateur_Cracksman). The story of A.J. Raffles as told from the point of view of friend Bunny Manders struck something in her. Like herself, Raffles is bored with life. Bored with playing the games of his public life. The need for excitement in her life rings true in the character as well. Though unlike the book she had no friend with her to help her achieve this excitement. Still, she can't help but love the idea of midnight thefts from people who will not be hurt by losing a few diamonds.<br/><br/>By day she is the sweet daughter of a rather wealthy family. A woman that is soon becoming labeled as an 'old maid' for her refusal to marry. By night she is probably the world's only gentlewoman thief. Her first theft was a rather small one, but then again she saw no reason to jump in too quickly. She considers it to be her most prized possessions. A small chain necklace. It's not worth much money wise, but it means a lot to her. She got it from sneaking into the house of a former friend. The girl had been her supposed friend. Her first. But the girl had crossed her by seducing the man that was supposed to be her future husband. While Abigale had no intentions of really marrying him, that wasn't what mattered. The necklace was bought for the other woman by the man and she took it.<br/><br/>Unlike the book character Raffles, Abby has only been caught once. She was caught by some well to do in upstate New York. At first she was thrown in jail, but for some reason she was let out and given a few options that lead her to her current situation.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Very quite and usually very unassuming. She tries to keep to herself. Unlike her book counter part she does not want an very open public life to try and mask her preferred life.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>A set of lock picks, skeleton keys, and various other objects.<br/><br/>(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/548/victorianboudoirbymedic.th.jpg) (http://img63.imageshack.us/i/victorianboudoirbymedic.jpg/)<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://einestages.spiegel.de/hund-images/2008/01/18/37/ba9fb5bc877ae1a854d74916e58e051b_image_document_large_featured_borderless.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Tarzan Aka John Caldwell, John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke,<br/>League: American<br/><strong>Played By</strong>:  Nos Corventius<br/><strong>Age:</strong>24<br/><strong>Height:</strong>6’ 8“<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>260<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>Though he is obviously Caucasian, he is deeply tanned, extremely athletic, tall and handsome, with gray eyes, long black slightly unkempt hair and overly long arms, has a tendency to bear his teeth when angry or upset.<br/><br/><strong>Character Biography:</strong>Tarzan is the son of  Lord James The Viscount of Greystoke and Lady Emily the countess of Wessex.
