				<strong>If a number of you would like to be queen’s or king’s guards who were banished or fled, that would be fine, Other characters could include, but are not limited to Goblins, Sluagh, Brownies, Demi-fey, Selkies or Will-o-the-wisps. Also any human-fey halves would be welcome!<br><br>The characters of fey are all very powerful, however, there is no one character who is able to completely raze all others. Please take into account that there needs to be some balance to your power.<br><br>For more information on Merry and the canon characters, as well as the world and its history, Check out the wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Gentry) or at the Laurell K. Hamilton fansite. (http://www.laurellkhamilton.org/Merry/MerryGentryOverview.htm) More information on fey powers, as well as canon characters and races can be found at the Merry Gentry wiki (http://merrygentry.wikidot.com/home).<br><br>Here’s my “bare-bones” character skeleton. Please fill free to add anything you see necessary, if you are a sidhe, you may be inclined to include a bit about your role before the fey “came out,” etc.<br><br>Username:<br>Name:<br>Race:<br>Age:<br>Powers:<br>Appearance: (A photo is acceptable, but add description. None of Hamilton’s fey could be accurately captured in a photo or drawing!)<br>Brief History: (If you want to remain a mystery, that’s fine, but give us something to relate to.)<br>Personality:<br><br><br>Okay! That’s everything I can think of. Here’s a link to the OOC thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=35459.msg1829008#msg1829008).</strong><br><br><br><br>Username: purpleartemis00<br><br>Name: Ardara /previously worshiped as Aerfen<br><br>Race: Unseelie Sidhe<br><br>Age:&nbsp; Unknown<br><br>Powers: Ardara calls the Hand of Blades (cuts opponents without weapons); common glamour <br><br>Appearance: <div style="text-align: right;">(http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss156/purple_artemis00/Aerfen.jpg)</div>Ardara’s eyes are comprised of an outer ring of black, a middle ring of blood red, and an interior circle of iron gray. Her hair, the color of fresh blood spilled on the battlefield, flows down her back. Her body is typically sidhe, tall and thin. Her features are harsh and chiseled. Ardara has moonlight skin.<br>Ardara uses a simple glamour to conceal her eyes, turning a human grey, and hair, which she hides as auburn.<br><br>Brief History: Ardara was once worshipped by the ancient Britons as Aerfen, the goddess of war. Human sacrifices were made to her to ensure success in battle. Ardara lost much of her power in the creation of the nameless, since she was a widely known devourer of human sacrifices.<br><br>Ardara hated that that Andais was queen through fear and not through war, as it should have been. She was exiled from the sithen because she attempted to rise up against Andais.<br><br>Ardara has been living amongst the human for nearly twelve years. She mostly hates the soft humans and their weak ways.&nbsp; Ardara is one the few sidhe who still believe they deserve to be worshipped as deities.<br><br>Personality: Quick-tempered, loves battle, tackles problems head-on and likes to stay busy.<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://www.geocities.com/silenceredux/bella.jpg)</div><strong>Username</strong>:&nbsp; Rhapsody<br><strong>Name</strong>:&nbsp; Bella<br><strong>Race</strong>:&nbsp; Seelie sidhe<br><strong>Age</strong>:&nbsp; Indeterminate <br><strong>Powers</strong>:&nbsp; Hand of Fire (calls fire to her palm), common glamour<br><br><strong>Appearance</strong>:&nbsp; &nbsp;Dark-skinned and black haired, Alisana glows from within when she is doing nothing to conceal her faerie nature, as if lit by the light of some internal forge.&nbsp; Like all sidhe, her eyes are tri-colored, a ring of molten gold inside bands of ember red and fire orange.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Brief History</strong>: Once a goddess of fire and light, forging and craftsmanship, Bella gave up much of herself to the Nameless, and with it the identity Belisama.&nbsp; Though she retained her exquisite craftsmanship, most everything else was gone.&nbsp; Eventually, she gravitated towards the Seelie court, carving a niche for herself as the most skilled jeweler either court could boast.&nbsp; She was unprejudiced in her clientele, and sold as many of her pieces to the Unseelie Court as she did the Seelie.&nbsp; When the extent of her "involvement" with the Unseelie Court was discovered, she was summarily exiled from the Shining Host as a spy for Andais.&nbsp; This has left a somewhat bitter taste in her mouth, and she now holds herself aloof from either court, unwilling to re-involved herself with the cutthroat politics, choosing instead to focus on her jewelry.&nbsp; Her sets and pieces remain in high demand amongst the human elite.<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: Reserved, focussed, analytical, slightly bitter

				Name: Brom<br>Race: Unseelie Sidhe<br>Age: Immemorial<br>Powers: He has the typical capacities of a full-blooded Sidhe warrior, though he's exceptionally strong compared to his peers. He's also quiet skilled with ancient and modern weapons. But other than that, he's got none of his old power remaining to him, given up to the Nameless. <br><br>Appearance: Brom is six and a half feet tall, and in very good shape. He's well-built and muscular, but he's not big like a body-builder. With muscles honestly earned and toned, Brom favours strength slightly but retains a build that allows him a good deal of speed. His skin is pale, and his short hair is a pale gold. There's only one colour to his eyes, or perhaps three shades of blue that don't vary enough to be distinguishable. His left hand is a working silver replacement, which he always covers with a long glove - he hasn't the glamour to conceal it.<br><br>Brief History: In the past Brom was a god of war. He favoured an 'unmanly' kind of war: striking at night, or else under cover of darkness to kill the enemy while they slept. Fully capable of fighting in a stand-up fight, Bors nevertheless preferred guerilla warfare. How he lost his hand is generally lost to all memories, as is why he never had it replaced with one of flesh by Miach as Nuada'd had his flesh and blood arm restored. Brom, when he talks about it (and that's seldom), says he lost his hand fighting Thor. He was one of Andais's Ravens, once, but someone earned him freedom. Brom never knew who it was. <br><br>Personality: Brom is quiet and calm. There are walls around his heart that hide how emotionally needy and love-starved he is.

				Username: Fatalis..<br><br>Name:Fatal<br><br>Race:UnSeelie<br><br>Age: Wouldn't you like to know...*grins*<br><br>Powers:Elemental Water. <br><br>Appearance: Dark blue tri colored eyes rimed in silver and accented with the sky stared at you from a masculine face. Soft pale skin almost holding a blueish tint glittered over taught muscles. Hair the colore of blue silver cascaded down to his ankles worn back in a tight braid. Some of the bangs fringed to shadow those stormy eyes of his. Broad shoulders rippled under the dark royal blue silk shirt he wore. The dress slacks seeming tailored to fit his body. Hugging strong thighs and outlining his groin slightly. The shirt was left unbuttoned to revel the strong taught muscles that rippled with every move that he made. Moving with the grace only the fey had.<br><br>Brief History: Once worshiped as a powerful storm god by mortals he now only lives to serve the new ward. He keeps his past behind him looking only now to the future and the continence of the fey race. His memories are vague of the past unsure of truly who he was nore what he is becoming. Living to serve.. and even to seduce...<br><br>Personality: He has a quiet nature but a very imposing presences. A man that is no stranger to battle. Contemplative, and wise though he does not fear to speak his mind when the time calls for it. Unafraid of consequences once he has made his decisions.

				Username: Eden<br>Name: Ciarcainan<br>Race: Phouka <br>Age: Seven centuries<br>Powers: Shapeshifting (Human, dog and horse forms)<br>Appearance: [1 (http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll98/thetragicfragments/art80.jpg)] [2 (http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll98/thetragicfragments/art119.jpg)] [3 (http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll98/thetragicfragments/scotdrhd.jpg)] [4 (http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll98/thetragicfragments/sparky1.jpg)] In his human form Ciar is 5'7" tall and slender, though he does have muscle.His skin is an ashy white and his hair is black with white above his brow. His eyes are a sharp, distinct amber. His features are delicate and androgynous. In his dog form, he has the shape of a deerhound with fur the same shade as his hair and the same eyes. In horse form, he looks like a heavy-hoofed cob with the same colouring as his other two forms. His voice, when he speaks, is lyrical and accented with brogue. He has a burn scar on his chest that shows up as a white patch in his animal forms.<br>Brief History: When he was young, Ciar was a mischievous fey, haunting the roads and scaring the humans at twilight until he caught the eye of a lord of the slaugh. The sidhe manipulated a circumstance and tricked Ciar into servitude. The phouka was submerged in sidhe culture, serving the sidhe lord until his master was killed. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't an end to his indenture, his ownership passing to the sidhe's heir. He has been seen about the unseelie court on and off for several centuries, acting the pet while searching for a way to gain his freedom.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Personality: Ciar is quiet, not a being that speech comes easily to. He carefully portrays himself as submissive and eager to obey, which is the only way he has survived all this time. However, he is devious and opportunistic, as well as daring. He hates sidhe in general, but has been known to be friendly with a few despite this. He has to obey his master or suffer great discomfort, though he rarely does what he is told in the right way.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				Username: Kitten<br>Name: Violet<br>Race: Demi-fey, Unseelie Court<br>Age: Unknown<br>Powers: glamour and the ability to grow to full size though only a rare few know of this <br>Appearance: Her appearance is of various shades of purple, hence her name. In true form, she stands 8" tall with a delicate, slender build. Her face is heartshaped, with pale purple lips several shades darker than her skin. Her hair is curly, down to her hips and a deep vibrant amethyst, not often restrained with clips and such. Her eyes are the palest purple. After growing, she appears the same in all details except her height which then is 5'1".<br>(http://compassionhealing.com/sitebuilder/images/PurpleButterfly-531x396.jpg)<br>Brief History: Once one of Queen Niceven's ladies-in-waiting, Violet is well schooled in being seen and not heard when such is deemed necessary. Even more so, not seen nor heard if needs be. After being exiled from her home when news reached the Queen of her less than proper affair with one of the Queen's discarded lovers, Violet was ordered to marry another as the one she loved was not an option. Rather than betray her heart, she pleaded her lover to run away with her only to have him betray her intention to the Queen in hopes of getting back into the Queen's good graces. With the wrath of the Queen now placed fully upon her shoulders, Violet decided it best to depart and vanished into the world of humans before the Queen could officially place judgement. Violet now makes herself a living by being a seeker for anyone that is able to afford her services. She is very good at her job, able to go places where larger being can't without detection. In the last three years since arriving in Seattle, she has been slowly but steadily making a name for herself, finding things that others find impossible to locate for their clientele. <br>Personality: Spunky, mischievous and outgoing, she tends to fly up to strangers and sit on their shoulders just to see what they do.

				Username: HairyHeretic<br><br>Name: Hrothgar<br><br>Race: Half goblin / half sidhe<br><br>Age: Over 2000<br><br>Powers: Exceptional strength and resiliance. Slight glamour, enough to ward him and have him pass for human when outside the sithen.<br><br>Appearance: Hrothgar stands almost 7 feet tall, and has the build of one who works long and hard. <br><br>Brief History: Hrothgar was born at the time of the Goblin Wars, and left in the goblin court. Brought up a goblin, he was initially named Kuon (hound). His prowess as a warrior saw him receive the name of Hrothgar (famous spear), for the Gae Bolga (barbed spear) he wielded in service to his court and king.<br><br>When not fighting, his talents as a smith see him much in demand.<br><br>Personality:<br><br>(in progress - want to remind myself of typical goblin personality before writing this bit)
