Name: Pale
Species: Dragon
Age: 1986 yrs.
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Pale belongs to a species of dragon known as a Bearded Sandserpent. These creatures resemble the dragons of medieval times in only the roughest of ways. They are designed to live in the vast deserts that have become their territories and are used to negotiating in the harshest of conditions. Their body is streamlined and thick scaled, with four pairs of small legs spaced down along the length of their torso. The limbs themselves are small so as not to interfere with the dragons movements through the clinging sands. Down Pale's torso are golden false-eyes like the ones found on certain moths, that shimmer and catch light to confuse predators. His hide itself is a dark, sandy color which fades to gray on his snout and the end of his tail. His head is very, very slender with sharp white teeth and a thin, black mane which frames his features.
Personality: A cryptic creature, Pale speaks in riddles to those he does not know well and sometimes, to those he does. He delights in prophesies and is considered a minor seer among his people. However, such skills lead to a measure of arrogance and pride. Engaging in a conversation with him can be wearisome to say the least.
Name: Mantra
Age: 203 yrs.
Gender: Male
Species: Pegasus
Physical description: Like most pegasuses, Mantra is white. Or he used to be before old age took its toll. Now he is more gray than anything else and the white but flecks his coat. His eyes are failing him, his hearing is going, and his wings have been besieged by gout. Flying now strains hims as it has never done before, and he molts with less and less frequency. His primaries are ragged and torn.
Personality: Mantra was a fiery stallion in his prime, and that mindset still exists. Only now he is trapped. Trapped in a failing body, doomed to continue losing all the senses he holds dear. He spends most of his time on the ground, watching others of his species flying and carvorting in the skies. He may not be able to see well, but his tongue has never been sharper. His grief makes him irritable and hot-tempered, but he can sink into bouts of depression just as easily.
Name: Criad
Age: 120 yrs. old
Gender: Male
Species: Pegasus
Physical description: Son of Mantra, he has inherited his father's broad wingspan and coarse mane. He is more of a dusky white than an anything else.
Personality: Criad has never been close to his father, but with his mother dead and his siblings all killed as well, the responsability of tending to his sire has fallen to him. Hot-tempered as well and easily frusterated, Criad's personality grates very often and very harshly with that of Mantra's. His father's old age irritates him more than anything else and having to watch over him does nothing to improve his mindset.
Name: Asai Verage
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species: Human--sorcerer.
Physical Description: He is of average height but whip-cord thin, with black hair pulled tightly behind him in a tail, as if to emphasize the guantness of his face. His eyes are the same dirty gray as the clothing he wears, his fingers tattooed with several designs that are rummored help him preform the more difficult spells.
Personality: Asai lives to cut people with his words and his deeds. He delights in making people uneasy, even his fellow magic-users. He thrusts himself very deeply into the things he studies and pushes his training further than some consider wise. At a meeting of sorcerers, he was heard to remark, "High Magic or Dark Magic. They're both fine choices: Whatever floats your boat. Personally, the darkness has already had a certain appeal to me. I've found it to be more...effective." People whisper his soul has long been sold to some demon or another, certainly that would explain the shadow that follows him constantly: even at night. He also is known to indulge himself, drugs, women, rare and potent herbs...whatever tempts his fancy, he has the money and the lack of morality to obtain it.
