Petals must fall,
Yet more blossom in their wake

Your Father

(Shadow/Gravity/Illusion/Spirit)
(Medic/Artificer/Priest/Golemancer)
Your father has been a medic and artificer for over twenty years. Having travelled about quite a bit, he and your mother eventually settled down in the Kingdom of Fortune, where he married her and had you and your siblings. After the death of Marfons Emeraldi, he often seemed sad and troubled, but always put on a smile for you and your mother, and was always happy to see you at all. Often busy, ever working on projects, he is a controversial figure in some circles but generally well liked by the people of the republic and the kingdom, where he held the rank of Seneschal. In his career as a medic, he ended up becoming one of the best shadow mages known to the east.
After a recent falling-out, your father left the Kingdom of Fortune. He now works for the Goldlight Order once again.
A place in which he has been, of late, very busy working on all manner of projects... seems Garret is intent on keeping the old man occupied. However, regardless of how busy he is, he's always eager to make time for you and your mother. His family matters more to him than anything.
While he's told you a little bit of his own history, he's suggested it's a largely sad story, with a few spots of pure light. Namely, your mother, who he loves with all his heart and makes it well known at the slightest provocation, and yourselves.

Your Mother

(Holy/Gravity/Unarmed)
(Medic/Alchemist/Priest)

The once-Archnurse of Arcadia, before it was home to the church of Koretheia, has ever-done her absolute Damndest™ to pamper the children in whatever little ways she could afford to. An ascetic with low desire placed on material things in abundance, yet she strongly clings to such things with sentimentality. She's the Radiant of Caius, and maybe the strongest old women you've ever met (by metric of muscles alone). 

She basically single-handedly raised you in the sleepy far-off island of Arilator's landing. If there's a quirk about your father, she has gushed to you about it ad nauseum.


You and your Siblings
  • Are one of four children, with the eldest already spawned (The first of the three of you spawn 10/19/24 in the year 2141)
  • Are human, with black hair and either blue or green eyes like your parents
  • Had an upbringing on Arilator's Landing, a quiet island in the corner of the continent, but were visited by friends of the family and in later years had visited Nilhirra and Sapphire Bay.
  • Though your parents weren't wealthy monetarily, a good sum of materials were available to them. It was a comfortable life, quiet and secluded. They were both caring parents, and tried to instill good values, chiefly kindness, both being healers at heart.
  • You may be Caian, given both parents are, but it is a choice for you to make.
  • May have a disposition towards Metaphysics, as both parents use it
  • Have a variety of connections across the republic, both familial and friend, to be discussed in DMs
  • Have the opportunity to learn a variety of skills and classes once older, though your father would like you to enjoy an actual childhood instead of being pushed into child soldiery or advanced disciplines at a very young age, as seems to be the norm these days.

A lot changes in 5 years.
Two children awakened their magic
Richter, and Anna'li
New bonds forged
Old ones, broken


Your Father

(Shadow/Gravity/Aether)
Chaos Mage, Golemancer, Radiant, Champion, Expert Medic, T1 Dualcrafter, Psion

A lot has changed for your father in the past few years. He and your mother remain together, through the years, while your eldest siblings have awakened their magic and gone out into the world. Having learned Chaos Magic and become the Champion of Caius by your mother's hand, he remains oft mired in grief, haunted and harried by the weight of lost friends and family, and the cruelty of the world. Including, for some reason, a recent refusal to ever enter the city of Gloomlight Grove unless absolutely necessary.

Still, you and your siblings and mother make him very happy, when around, never more at peace than when he is with Her, and ever pleased to be with you, often referring to you as 'their little miracles.' He is nothing if not a loving father and husband, even if he remains mired in some recent controversy after taking up more roles within the Goldlight Order. Having been promoted to Knight-Captain of Logistics, he is just as busy as ever despite his age, always working on something or another. Even so, he would put aside whatever he was working on to be with his family.

Including projects for them specifically, and rumors of a fifth, synthetic sibling still somehow related to you by blood. Your father has of late finished an advanced suit of armor named Umbra, perhaps one of the most impressive pieces of technology in the republic, and has multiple other projects in final adjustment stages. Further, he's begun teaching others about psionics, serving as a tutor in telepathy, and has made a breakthrough in rapidly, safely removing Nyctorre from weapons... something that has become far too common, these days.

With your eldest brother Richter having joined the Goldlight Order and having been inducted into the faith on request, he would gladly do the same for any of you. Given newfound property within the Castle-City, you may have spent most of your life on Arilators still, or have spent time in the Vigil, or perhaps moved between the two regularly.

Friends have come into your lives as well, important figures including but not limited to:
Tiche Alline, adoptive granddaughter and much beloved by your father, as a bright spot on the world, who often helps him when he's down.
Aricles Alline, oft controversial but seen as a good friend, of similar goals and aspiration.
Miss Spiral, held in high regard, though your father warned about touching the odd synthetic.
Evangeleana, for some reason, is considered a great friend by him, though he merely says 'ask him' when wondering why.
Tandava, former Knight-Captain, and Bonbon of the Bastion, are spoken of fondly by your father as 'good people who needs some more friends,' with both having been in a sort of 'daughter' role with Juno.
Garret Richter, having been the man to conduct your parent's wedding, is a bit more than just his boss.
Seanius Montelione, considered by him to be one of his best friends, and confidant, is someone you're encouraged towards friendship with, the big goo ball of Gloomlight stated by him to be "The best thing to ever come out of that city." Whatever that means.
Saber, Agne, Roland, Kastore, and many more members of the republic besides! Really, too many to list. Pretty much anyone in Goldlight is praised by him.

You!
You are much the same as described before, though with the passing of time, you're up to 18 years old!

Two slots remain!
