RP-Only Character Inactivity: If your RP-only Sentinel has been inactive for more than one month without notice it may be removed from this list.

Part I – The Sentinel

Player: Rakni Soup
Name: Rowan
Nicknames: None known
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Young adult
Hatch Date: 3rd of May
Type: Wildtype
Task: Watcher
Personality: Rowan has a lot of patience and as such he will not easily be angered.
If he thinks someone is purposefully trying to provoke him, he will simply stop socialising with said being (Be it Sentinel, companion or other).
As a person, he is quite helpful and sympathetic and has a weak spot for hatchlings and fledglings.
One of the few things that can actually get him really riled up is when said young ones are bullied by adults.
Also, he does not care for berries, much preferring the taste of meat. Nuts are all right, though.
History: Rowan was always a natural at the art of flying and was quick to learn when the lessons started.
His passion (one of his few, and practically the only known) for flying has manifested itself in his adult times as an above-average flying ability, he is a slightly swifter and more agile flyer then most Sentinels.
Rowan was Minder-raised, he does not know who his parents are and he doesn't much care. The clan is his family as far as he is concerned and he will do his utmost to be of assistance to it.
Some of his Minders and fledge-friends might remember Rowan as a rather amorous Sentinel, always first in line for a preening and the first one to offer if it was needed, but something changed after he graduated, no one knows what.
Rowan also has a rather strong will, but he is anything but delicate with it so he only uses it to carry single, heavy items.
Territory: A few trees a short distance west from the Deep Woods, with a small creek of water flowing within earshot and plenty of game around.
Mate: None
Companions: Yes
Certificate: None... Yet, anyway.


Part II – Companions

Name: Berr
Species: Mus
Age: Young
Speech Ability: 4
Intelligence: 5
Skill:His master is a fumblefeather, so Berr was purchased for the extra set of paws whenever Rowan needs something delicate to be done (Tie a knot on the flap of a pack, for instance).
Rowan chose this Mus because it shows levels of patience rivalling his own, and he is rather attached to the small thing, even when it's trying to feed him berries.

Part I – The Sentinel

Player: Kitkaze
Name: Mudflap
Nicknames: Mud, Muddy
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Young Adult
Hatch Date: 11/17/200?
Type: Wildtype
Task: Watcher
Personality: Mud is a tomboy, she is loud and boisterous and slightly arrogant. Mud never wished to stay at home and watch the fledglings as a Minder. Even though that is what her mother wished for her. Mud is very competitive with most males her age and younger. She knows the older ones will put her in her place.

Mud's mindset towards most females is usually apathy, although on rare occasions she does seem to enjoy their company. Mud isn't a "motherly" female. Due to her skewed opinion of most other females, thinking of them to be "motherly," she doesn't have many female friends. She holds a few females in very high regard, such as the Elite females and her mother. Mud would never tell that last part to anyone, not even her companion.

History: Mud's mother is a minder and her father is a hunter. As their first egg, Mud's parents taught her a great deal, but they couldn't quell Mud's desire to explore. Her father suggested that Mud follow after him and hunt, her mother had different ideas. All the while neither parent asked Mud what she wanted to do. So upon graduation Mud surprised both of her parents, and choose to take some time to figure out what she really wanted to do. She took up the task of a Watcher.

Her feather dye was a gift from her father. Mud's Chirop, Dune, was a gift from her mother when she became an adult. Dune speaks well enough to be understood, but in the third person.

Territory: East of the Deep Woods
Mate: None
Companions: One Chirop, Dune


Part II – Companions

Name: Dune
Species: Chirop
Age: Young Adult
Speech Ability: 4
Intelligence: 3
Skill: Dune is like a little answering machine, he can remember and repeat something later on. It's usually only a sentence or two, but it gets the point across. Dune is Mud's most trusted friend.

Part I – The Sentinel

Player: Chikagi
Name: Jackwood
Nicknames: Jack
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Young, matured Sentinel
Hatch Date: November 6th
Type: Shadow
Task: Watcher
Personality: Charming, Jack seems to be quite the sweet-talker, his smooth mannerisms proving useful in getting out of sticky situations. However, he has a terrible tendency to steal items that to not belong to him on a whim, causing quite some trouble. When he's not impulsively thieving, Jack is very sociable and charismatic, sometimes taking the role of a joker.
History: Jack's kleptomania only increased as he got older, but with this increase has come greater restraint. Of course, there are certain occasions were he simply can't control himself. Having learned from experience that acting rashly will not get him his coveted prize, Jack has an air of calculating patience and will wait until the first opportunity arises before he makes his move. On the off-chance he's discovered, he has the very useful ability to conjure a wonderful cover, his stories usually involving a great amount of flattery. Sly and sneaky, happy and talkative, Jack leads somewhat of a double-life.

His targets are entirely random and a result of impulsive and gripping disillusionment for an item. Never malevolent, he eventually regains his morals and guiltily returns the objects of his thievery just as secretly as he took them, generally with a small mouse or two as a token of his anonymous apologies.
Territory: As a Shadow, Jack enjoys the cover of trees to a fault, his black feathers blending him with the scenery. He lives in a thick wooded area that allows very little light in, just north of the river under the Deep Woods, and south of the Clearing.
Mate: None, he's kind of a flirt and a ladies man.
Companions: Visi, his Chirop

Part II – Companions

Name: Visi
Species: Chirop
Age:Young
Speech Ability: 3
Intelligence: 3
Skill: Despite Jack having a reasonable control over his impulses, his defenses are not flawless. Visi keeps a vigilant lookout while Jack is either in the middle of a heist or returning already stolen loot. Jack uses him to sense if anyone is around before he might act and to see things even he can't, also raising an alarm if someone is coming.

Part I – The Sentinel

Player: SiyannaTwilight
Name: Silverbell
Nicknames: Bell
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Young Adult
Hatch Date: 1/2
Type: Mist
Task: Watcher
Personality: Silverbell is a very lighthearted bard to be, and shares her love of the world in her song. She'll make up little melodies on a whim, almost about anything and everything. She hasn't found the opportunity to take the task she wants dearly yet as she is still somewhat younger, and her mind still somewhat innocent, or so she claims. She is also keen on playing hard to get, and while she may find a Sentinel she fancies, she will wait for him to make the first move, with gentle nudges in his direction of course. She does have quite the fondness for the men.
History: Both of Bell's parents are bards, and she grew into a home of song and music. Her bells were a graduation present to her of sorts, and she takes great care of them. When she was young she would attend events with her parents, sometimes entitled to do a back up verse or a bell accompaniment, but most of the time she'd just watch them, proud.
Territory: She has a few trees to herself, close to the action of the deep woods, and just short an hours flight to the river. When she practices she works hard to do it when she knows nobody nearby is asleep, if they are out even better.
Mate: None
Companions: None

Part I – The Sentinel

Player: Xirapha
Name: Southwing
Nicknames: South, his "cute and slightly odd nickname"!
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Young adult
Hatch Date: Late January
Type: Shadow
Task: Watcher
Personality: South is quiet and gentle, ever polite, and introverted - sometimes to the point of being shy, though as long as he is given time he can become comfortable with Sentinels who are not particularly aggressive or demanding.

He is taken to flights of fancy and whimsical ideas, most of which are considered harmless, but he also harbours a thirst for knowledge that extends to the Open and the Above. Perhaps it was his early detachment from both parents and Minders, or perhaps it is his surprising (and mostly undetected) stubbornness, but the horror stories of deaths from the Open and Above never truly bothered him in the way that they did other Sentinels. He believes firmly that fear arises because something is not understood, and so he seeks understanding. It is also for this reason that he is not typist in the least. He knows that he's not going to get information about the Open from others, so at some point in the future, probably as a Scout, he will take it upon himself to explore.

For most of his fledglinghood, he convinced himself that he was content with being somewhat detached from others, although from time to time he would experience a sudden (and to him, incomprehensible) longing for companionship, which he would (and still does) satisfy by talking to Northie, his Chirop. Sadly, North isn't really particularly intelligent and is hardly an adequate substitute for a friend. There is something distinctly missing - whether it is guidance or friendship, he is unsure and has not, until this point, cared to think about. After all, there are matters of greater importance, such as what the Above is and where the Open goes.

He has long valued his independence and found confidence in it. That said, he is beginning to realise that he is, in fact, lonely, but whether he will succeed after all this time in overcoming his shyness and making very good friends - or even mating - is something he worries about.

Essentially, he's still overall an introverted and sometimes shy Sentinel, but he is beginning to grow out of it. He's still a little socially awkward.

History: South was raised by Minders, though he often seemed to escape their notice. His parents were mostly uninterested in him, and though for a time he often wondered about them, he was never altogether bothered by being without them. He was a daydreamer with no particular need or desire for anyone's attention, content to keep to himself and imagine and wonder. Some of his teachers have suggested (but only to each other) that a lack of guidance lead to some of the strange and dangerous ideas he has about the Open and the Above, and they often tried to direct his curiosity toward other, safer notions.

He developed a keen aptitude for listening, which benefits him greatly when he's Watching. What he heard often troubled him and brought up all sorts of questions in what was becoming a very open and inquisitive mind. For a time, he was much more vocal than he is now, and asked many questions. However, as a result of the warnings from many of his teachers, he learned to keep quiet. He graduated, and the advice of everyone was to take a while as a Watcher so that he could learn what he was best at, as many Sentinels felt that he was somewhat behind the others of his class in maturity and needed a little more time to figure things out.


Territory: He has no real and gripping attachment to his own territory and would, if given the opportunity, be more of a drifter - or, as he sees it, an explorer. He calls home the environs of a particular oak tree with very gnarled bark.

Mate: n/a
Companions: Yes.
Certificate: n/a


Part II – Companions

Name: North/Northie around those who might be offended by a Chirop named after a Warden. South thinks being offended by that is a little silly.
Species: Chirop
Age: Young
Speech Ability: 4
Intelligence: 2
Skill: Messenger (good at imitating but not so much understanding) and fast flyer.
