				<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/QE1WTyT.png)</div><strong>Character:</strong> Lucrezia of Beauclair<br><strong>Player:</strong> Primarch<br><br><strong>Role:</strong> Sorceress<br><strong>Specialties:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Pyromancy</li><li>Oneiromancy</li><li>Alchemy</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Pragmatist - Lucrezia has spent decades as political animal in Toussaint and long since learned to act on the reality of a scenario.</li><li>Ruthless - Lucrezia will allow nothing (and nobody) to get in the way of her objectives</li><li>Patient - A year or two is nothing to a Sorceress. She will take her time to make sure something is done right.</li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Born in Beauclair only a handful of years after the Higher Vampire Dettlaff was killed.</li><li>Her affinity for magic was discovered and she was relocated to the recently re-opened Aretuza Academy.</li><li>Following her graduation she spent several years traveling, during which time she become involved in the Imperial Court and spent a year lecturing at Oxenfurt.</li><li>Returned to Toussaint where she became adviser to Duchess Anna Henrietta's successor. She largely held this position for the next sixty years, though there were&nbsp; many <em>sabbaticals</em>. Throughout this period she became famous (or perhaps infamous) for political maneuvering and asserting influence as much as she could. At one point it was an 'open secret' that the Duke was a mere puppet.</li><li>Some years ago she met with other noteworthy Sorceresses and was a founding member of the reformed Lodge.</li><li>Traveled to various locations famously associated with Witchers to assist in their project.</li><li>Since the Lodge successfully re-created the procedure to create Witchers she has stayed at Kaer Morhen, overseeing the new School with other members of the Lodge.</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Bellatrix - 'Bellatrix and I are founding members of this new Lodge and there is no fellow Sorceress of the Lodge I respect more than her. A little tapped perhaps but there you go.'</li><li>Deirdre of Lindenvale - 'Deirdre was on thin ice in the early days of our little cabal. <em>Thin ice</em>. Truth be told she grew on me tremendously. A fine sister of the Lodge.</li><li>Arlaine of Vengerberg - 'One cannot hear '<em>of Vengerbeg</em>' without Arlaine's famous ancestor coming to mind. It is my expert opinion that she is just as brilliant as the famous Yennefer. Of course she had me to help her along.'</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Though she does not operate under the title, she is technically a Countess of Toussaint.</li><li>Her tremendously long career in Beauclair's court has provided her with a sizable fortune, much of which is currently held up in property. She owns three Vineyards, most notably Corvo Bianco. She has long since let the day to day runnings to others.</li><li>During her time at the Imperial Court she was working as a Spymistress.</li><li>Finds Gwent to be 'common,' but is a horse racing aficionado and has enjoyed success in Toussaint's racing tournies. She currently rides an ashen mare by the name of '<em>Dame</em>.'</li><li>Unsurprisingly her life &amp; career has spawned many rumours about her person. The most persistent rumour implied (incorrectly) that she was in fact a Dragon operating in human form. At point the rumours became so persuasive that Dragon Hunters arrived in Beauclair, that they ended up charred to a crisp did little to dissuade the rumours.</li></ul>

				<strong>Character</strong>: Bellatrix<div class="floatright">(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l498/Nybris/28fdcf6d-d309-4bf6-9906-b7455b5cab6b_zpsd4dvxswe.jpg)</div><br><strong>Player</strong>: Vlexia<br><br><strong>Age</strong>: 63<br><br><strong>Role</strong>: Sorceress<br><br><strong>Specialties</strong>: <br>* Element of Fire (Fire Storm, Fire Ring, Fire Armor, Explosion) <br>* Political intrigue and knowledge<br>* Illusion and disguise <br><br><strong>Personality</strong>:<br>* Brash, at times she is a bit forward, overconfident, a trait that has led her into situations that did not end well. However, this has ended in her favor because she has learned, often the hard way, how to use her powers and how to survive, sometimes against much stronger foes. <br>* Overconfident. She hasn't died yet, especially since she most likely should be dead by now.<br>* Despite her bold personality, she has a very strong sense and attribute of justice, and thus very involved with the community and a active supporter for equal rights of all races.<br>* Being so old and starting her training so late, Bellatrix is a little strange with just a touch of insanity, mumbling to herself at times and walking alone at night.<br><br><strong>History</strong>:<br>Bellatrix is not her birth name, but none are still alive who know it for she has outlived them all. Initially from modest, and ignorant, beginnings the woman was born in Zerrikania by a couple who were traveling merchants and traders. Her powers were made manifest at an early age but her parents neither knew, or cared, exactly what she was dealing with, instead assuming she was merely "strange". It wasn't until they were in Ard Carraigh where the Sorceress advisor Sabrina Glevissig felt the power of the young teenager and took her under her wing. This experience under the advisor to the previous King's Court and the late entry into the Lodge is a major reason Bellatrix initially struggled with her power and still has remnants of crazed personality traits. Her age, experience and wisdom has hidden these but they are still very close to the surface. She corresponded with other Soreceresses to reestablish the Lodge due to the increase of Monsters and the need for Witchers.<br><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br>* Arlaine of Vengerbeg: "That bitch! So maybe sleeping with that guy she supposedly 'loved' <em>was</em> a mistake, but making my hair fall out! I was fucking bald! Being a descendent of Yennefer doesn't help either, but at least she knows how to fight. Have to respect her for that, albeit begrudgingly."<br>* Elias: "Handsome, funny, and useful to have around. I've tried to get him in bed a few times but he isn't biting. Too bad, if he brought half as much passion to the sheets as he does on the battlefield it would be a decent night. No matter. A good man to spend an evening of drinking and cards with and someone who can be depended on."<br>* Iska: "A good reliable friend who can keep a secret and share a glass of wine with. Arlaine rejected her drunken delights but I didn't, and now we have added <em>benefits</em> to our relationship every now and then when Mael isn't around or acting up. Going through some tough shit has drawn us pretty close together as well." <br>* Mael: "The love of my life, but I'll never tell him that and give him that power. I oversaw his medical treatment when he was brought to Kaer Morhen, watched his transformation, saw his determination and raw power...so when did it become so complicated? Oh, right, when we fucked all month like we were the last two rabbits intent on repopulating all of physical creation. I keep pushing him away when I feel it getting too serious, but I can never stay away too long. Damn..."<br>* Lucrezia: "My main. She is my friendship rock, my yin, my sorceress sister whom I respect above all else in the Lodge. She balances my weaknesses and crazed ramblings and I ignite her intensity and together, we will fucking consume the world. Nobody, and I mean....<em>nobody</em>, messes with her without getting it a hundred fold in return, like that tax collector who spat on her; She peeled back the skin while I burned away the fibers. A match made in heavenly hell."<br>* Conor: "Mmmmm, Conor-boy was once a delightful sweetheart who unfortunately met me. Luc and I really oversaw his training and mutation, but I added my own little devilish desires into the concoction mixes. How his body turned, his voice deepened, his stamina and strength...I think he may still have scars around his wrists from his binds that fateful night. Oh, how he had cried out to the rafters..."<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br>* Has a coiled dragon tattoo at her lower back, and <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> various others</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l498/Nybris/image.jpg2_zpsl8lvnvjg.jpg) </div></div>,that are callouts to her homeland where the people worship dragons.<br>* Wears light leather armor that may seem provocative but is really more for the damage caused by her fire power.<br>* Loves red wine

HAHA! I love it! She'd fit right in back home in Skellige. Oft times she and I work together on bounties and missions. Work pretty well together on top of that. Nothing like a fist full of fire for backup. Kicks my ass in Gwent still." </li><li>Arlane - "She's a good woman, easy on the eyes. I may be a brave one, but even I know not to get in the middle of a sorceress feud. A witcher's remain neutral as they say so I keep it to food, drink and merriment. She still kicks my ass in Gwent but she does give a few tips every now and then. Not sure if I'll grasp all of it but I've got nothing to lose."</li><li>Conor - "Never get into another round of Gwent with him around if I value my purse. Maybe next time I get challenged I name the game, make the best gruel. I'll win that hands down. Mans damn good with a sword as he is with cards. There are few you can count on to watch your back and he's one of them."</li><li>Mael - "You never truly appreciate an archer until he's either picking off dinner at a vast distance or your the target of those arrows unable to close the gap. Not certain who said that, but its very fucking true. Mael has a will to live that few can match and is a lucky man as well. He's family ...even when he's drunk. Side note - he has a good right hook."</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Prefers a Skellege Deck (obviously) when in a game of Gwent.</li><li>Is <em>terrible</em> at Gwent</li><li>His horse is called Dusa.

Usually avoids drinking or imbibing narcotics.</li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Not much known of early history.

Trained alongside the first batch of witcher recruits, but was physically inferior to most of the others, looking sickly and thin for the duration.</li><li>Survived the Trial of the Grasses, barely. Whether his difficulty was due to his already poor health or if it was because the lodge tried more variations of mutations on him due to them thinking that he wouldn't survive anyways is uncertain. His modifications made him stronger, although less so than his fellow survivors, but improved hand-eye coordination and reaction time. While he was fairly competent with the pair of blades that he was given, he chose to focus his training on ranged combat with throwing knives, bows and crossbows, instead of hand-to-hand combat.</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Conor: "One of my few surviving brothers of the first Trial.

That's not to say that he can't handle himself. Better with his blades than I could ever be, and can cook to the point where he could probably make a ghoul taste like roast pork. Still, he's the little brother of the Witcher family, and he's never living that down."</li><li>Bellatrix: "A confusing woman. First she wants me, then she can't seem to get far enough away from me. First she hunts me down to the ends of the earth, and then she acts like it's no big deal. She fires my blood like nobody has before, or since. If it was up to me, things would be simple. But it's not, and things could not be less simple."</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Carries a pair of swords, although discarding the longswords that most witchers preferred in favor of a pair of Leaf-Shaped Short Swords (http://catalog.bladeart.com/imgs/ba04392.jpg), which he carries in a single scabbard across his back.</li><li>Known for his use of a Recurve bow (http://archeryhunting-equipment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/recurve_gall.jpg), with a quiver of steel and silver-tipped arrows that he makes himself. Also known to carrying a selection of throwing knives hidden in handy locations on his body. Sometimes, but rarely, he also carries a crossbow.</li><li>Known to ride a Bay Roan Gelding of no particularly well-known sire or dam. It is a battle horse though, calm and ready. It's name is Duke.</li><li>Has a proficient Northern Realms Gwent deck, tends to play the various spy-use strategies to win.</li></ul>

He has learned to be this way around others though this is just a ruse; a mask of sorts.</li><li>Relies on cold logic and reasoning, placing higher precedence on success than compassion. He will show compassion though it is not an act.</li><li>Apathetic to the deaths of his comrades' or the innocent if it means his survival. This also goes for himself.</li><li>Despite the false affection he displays towards some comrades, he comes to believe that they are like himself are expendable, nonetheless, considering them nothing more than tools for achieving a goal.</li></ul><br><strong>History:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li> Is an Ofir who's mother was a captive in the land of Zangvebar from there his mother and older sister were sold off into slavery. Eventually, they were swiftly taken by a wealthy Nilfgaardian who took his mother as his mistress in secret because of her beauty. She gave birth to him in secret in fear the Madam of the house would kill him. When he came of age the young boy was to be the servant to his master's 'First' child while his sister did not have such an <em>'proper'</em> fate. She was traded off to be another man's concubine. To this day he has tried to gain some information of both his sister and mother but assumes they have both perished. One day the Lord was assaulted by a Woodland Spirit and was saved by a witcher. The Nilfgaardian Lord thanked the Witcher for his heroism with gold, but 'The Law of Surprise' was invoked upon him. When he came to take his child instead, he took Serugei revealing that he was his first child rather than the one from his wife.<br><br>The Witcher brought young Serugei to Kear Morhen where he would take the first steps; The Trail of grass which he barely survived and was brought up with his fell recruits to be a Witcher though many from his class did not survive the grueling test. There were times Serugei thought of fleeing but knew they would catch him eventually, so he endured and became one of them. A witcher. The concoctions made him taller and built to hand the cuts, scrapes, and bruises.</li></ul><br><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Arlaine of Vengerberg- Has noticed her meddling behind the scenes. She has good intentions, but he feels that she has her reasons behind checking up on his well-being. If he recalls, they haven't had much conversation between the two of them besides the passing hello, and he doesn't see it as too much of an issue.</li><li>Open</li><li>Open</li></ul><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Unlike the other witchers he has fashioned both his Silver and Steel swords to a saber like fashion. He does this as an homage to his homeland even though people make the 'curved sword' comment.</li><li>As an Ofir he was already looked down upon, but being a Witcher has not made it any better. The is the cheating, the spitting as he passes, and mean looks. If he had any feelings, he would say that it hurts.</li><li>Owns a Monter Gwentt deck even though he dislikes the game since he finds it annoying. He will not play unless there is anything else to do, and he will find something if possible. Even going as far as making something up to avoid the game.</li><li>Is untrusting of most humans because they have attacked him instead of paying him. His fellow Witchers do not know it, but he killed the ones who fell back on the contract and dared to kill him just to save a few crowns.</li></ul>
