2. If you wish to leave a gift then send me a PM to let me know, you can either drop them on the door step or RP giving them to someone (employee, summoner etc)
3. Do not beg, whine or harass me in this thread - although everyone I know won't do that so all is good.
4. Please uphold Gaia's TOS.

//Summoner Profile//
[--General Stats--]
Name: Exodus
Age: Sixteen Years Old
Species: Nalgae
Class: Druid/Cleric
Relationship to Regalia: Adoptive son to Elizabeth Regalia.
Relationship to Hayaharu: Student of the Arts
[--General Appearance--]
Height: 5'8" ft
Weight: N/A
Eye Colour: Emerald Eyes
Hair Colour: It would be more appropriate to discuss the colour of his fur, further details on this are below.
Clothing:
He wears none, rather he is completely covered in fur and resembles a cross between a squirrel and a goat. To an extend he is a canopy dweller and thus his fur colour is ideal for camoflauge, this colour being that of innumerable greens as well as a white tummy. In short, if one were to compare him to any other animal in Gaia they would say that he resembled the colour of an Emeraldback Lionfish.
Weaponry:
[--General Persona--]
Likes: Shiny objects, walnuts and books.
Dislikes: Being surprised, having his tail pulled
General: Exodus had aged considerably in the last few months to the point of reaching his prime, however during this time he has also discovered that he doesn't have quite a strong a bond with Aversham as anticipated and thus his father can only assume that his lack of presence during his emergence is the cause of this.
This is not to say that the pair aren't close but he has a closer relationship with nature as a whole than with his summon.
He is incredibly curious by nature, playful and otherwise timid towards new people but this may be due to his lack of exposure to the outside world until now.
He's a terribly quick learner as well but few would realise this due to his determination to succeed at certain tasks.
[--History--]
It was always said that the Regalia household had had problems with fertility, it was not that they were inbred but the significant amount of time they dedicated towards magic and its study had resulted in a warping of their delicate human forms. Elizabeth's father had been lucky, scarcely achieving the goal of a child in the form of his daughter but Elizabeth was otherwise incapable of childbirth.
For a long time, it had been known that the line would come to an end without an heir - adoptions were not encouraged for fear that the human child would abuse their position and yet the inability to bear a child and to preserve the noble lineage caused much heartache to the last surviving member of the family even despite the stoic expression upon her youthful features that would claim otherwise.
This problem remained a secret of her family for years, even she attempted desperately to hide it from her lover and yet, at last when she was certain he would try everything in his power not to hurt her she confessed to him her problem. Granted, Roan was genuinely upset but he understood the despair and regardless of this he loved her as he could and even during the times of strife in which he was seperated from her by the cruel hands of Cordelia he considered her plight.
It was during one of his journeys, far away from Durem that he stumbled upon a land with people who spoke of spirits who lived in coconuts - if one were to offer it a lime then it were said that it would bring forth a living creature who was deeply in need of tender and loving care. Intrigued, he studied these creatures in greater detail until at last he was able to acquire one for himself or rather for someone else for he had an idea in mind...Elizabeth might have lacked the ability to have children but she by no means lacked the ability to love...
It was upon his return that he bestowed upon her the gift of the coconut which at first she was mildly confused by and yet upon hearing its myth, she was overwhelmed with hope - so perhaps it were not a child of hers by birth but she could raise it with the care that a mother could it was just unfortunate that she perished when the small Nalgae was only three years old.
Nevertheless, the apparent 'father', Roan was dutiful in his ways and with the same loving touch of the mother he transported his small son to the Druid's Grove where he could reside in peace and absolute safety...not even the Grand Druid knew of the power that lurked in the little one's line of fate.

//Elysian's Profile//
[--General Stats--]
Name: Aversham
Age: N/A
Species: Elysian
Class: N/A
Relationship to Regalia: Elysian of Exodus.
[--General Appearance--]
Height: 1 1/2 ft
Weight: N/A
Eye Colour: Emerald Eyes
Hair Colour: Unavailable, he's covered in feathers.
Clothing:
Aversham wears no clothing however it would be more appropriate to discuss his appearance in terms of colour and stance. At first glance he appears to be a fiery red in colour however, should he open his wings it is apparent that he has irridescent feathers of each and every colour that are capable of reflecting the light around them.
Weaponry:
[--General Persona--]
Likes: Intellectual Conversation, Gratitude, Self-critique
Dislikes: Unwarranted insult, misunderstanding, his own moodswings.
General: If one was to be entirely honest they would describe Aversham as being a creature of two faces. This is due to his nature as a phoenix as well as his desire to be liked amongst those he cares about and recognises as his kin.
On the surface, Aversham appeared to be of a terrible good humour and is often one of the first to attempt to lighten the mood through flattery and jest. He is by no means flighty but does give the illusion of being incredibly flirtacious.
However, upon deeper inspection we become aware that this is not the case. In fact, he is passionately loyal to all those he cares for and would literally die to save his kin - it is therefore no surprise (although he would confess this to no one) that his nature as a phoenix does require him to be the matyr and thus he is requred to die...the concept is not a pleasant one but does enable him to be humble and to be able to appreciate life around him...
An intellect and a peaceful being to the core, he enjoys the quiet life but still enjoys being sociable on occasions.

//The Family//
.lady regalia.
Lady Regalia, or rather "Elizabeth Regalia" is the mother of summoner Exodus. Following the initial theft of the fire crystal she was subjected to many trials of the heart which not only brought her close to self-destruction but also resulted in the loss of her life.
At present, she is still in what Saevem would describe as 'limbo' and seems to be incapable of passing through the veil. It is the understanding of the Spirit Medium that the loving and tender mother is in fact determined to stay near by the ones she deeply loves.
This is no doubt a demonstration of her true character.
.roan e'toire.
The current lover of Elizabeth and the father to her adoptive son. It is said that he 'betrayed' his mistress in the attempt to be with the one he loved and thus he demonstrates and unearthly determination that is far beyond the comprehension of many.
Although a relative recluse however, his eyes are said to tell of his emotions and thus it is hard not to see the love and pain he endures in the company of his son and absence of his lover.
It is often said that he is a disappointment for failing to attempt to restore his lover to life but due to his dogma and specied, tampering with the fallen is not something he is familiar nor comfortable with regardless of the situation.
He has a high moral fibre so to speak and may at times, me over zealous.
.obiyasha hayaharu.
Hayaharu is a complex woman, she holds many fronts and is viewed by many in various ways. To the public she is concise, well mannered and regal - preferring to provide them with the example of the 'ideal hostess' as well as entertainer and companion. This often results in her being considered stoic and cold, her laughter and smiles a simple mask which hides what lies beneath.
Nevertheless it is within her nature to be incredibly secretive about who she really is. As a geisha weaknesses are not tolerated and are frowned upon - in a selfish and materialistic society from where she originates, emotional needs are very often ignored. However, to those who know and appreciate her for who she is (which is few and far between) she is fiercely loyal, intelligent and although she may suffer from the occasional moodswing she is otherwise content and good humoured.
There are few things that shock and phase the woman but questioning her in relation to the floating region above the great city of Shoichi sparks off the worst of moods.
Her relationship to this family is an odd one and extends as far back as Elizabeth's great grandfather who once travelled and was a patron of the Okiya in which Hayaharu is from. Her arrival within the more 'modernised' regions of Gaia was through the intervention of an unnamed entity and the actions taken by Roan E'toire.

//IMPORTANT FIGURES//
.saevem de'cour.
The Spirit Medium and 'catalyst' that has resulted in a desire to ressurect the fallen noble woman. She is often a quiet girl yet prefers to be present during social situations. As a spirit medium she often desires to be in the presence of the living and fears what she might see when alone - she carries this fear following the attack upon her by a volatile spirit that left her in the form of a eight year old girl.
Nevertheless, she is a woman of many talents and is not afraid to voice her opinions when they are desired. Her skills do alienate her from many however and she often suffers from bouts of mild depression when people voice their apparent disgust...alas, there is one who brightens her hopes when he is not absent and that is Vincent Yuthing who had initially been her fiance until she was struck down - now he remains close but only that.
.vincent yuthing.
A dandy of a sort and a noble gentleman who takes upon the appearance of a rather flamboyant being. At a glance he appears to be otherwise flighty and incapable of loyalty however upon deeper inspection it becomes apparent that his loyalty towards a certain few is unfounded and virtually impossible to break.
Nevertheless, as Saevem often points out to him he has a habit of misusing his money and thus he is often sighted in Casinos despite his skills as a business man. He's also a skilled swordsman but few would realise this in the sense that he rarely lifts a finger...he is often viewed as one of the most idle in Durem.
His relationship to Regalia extends back into his childhood years.
.professor pudge.
Professor Pudge was initially a master of the Mages' Conclave who became wholely interested in the secrets of the Regalia family. Following innumerable revelations about said family however he soon became a loyalist towards them and was perfectly content to serve beneath the Overlord as well as following her will.
Nevertheless, he is a tad eccentric to say the least and often leaves his wife (who is rarely present) in exasperation. Granted he is well loved and this is due to his good humour and inability to appear angry at anything but alas he is still a tad mad. However, he can be serious when the time is called for and therefore people often regard him as having 'two sides', he usually denies this though.
He was initially appointed to the Regalia Household as the tutor for Exodus but this has been placed on hold for a time.

//The Abode//
Obiyasha Hayaharu has lived in many homes, however, this abode is quite unlike anything she has ever experienced and it's far from the life within the Okiya in which she is so used to. Instead, it is a small mansion in the 'suburban' areas of the Gambino Isle which has been kindly donated to her by Lord Yuthing due to the inability to find her accomdation when she arrived.
To say the least, the roof does remind her of home but other than that, the things inside it and the unusual garden styles make it quite a change for her.
The Interior___.
The Interior is rather modern in comparison to the 'old' style of the stone work outside. Inside, there are a three levels with a number of rooms and areas on each - some for sleep, socialising and reflection as based upon the requirements of Lord Yuthing whenever he used to make his presence known within his old home.
[.kitchen.]
Scarlet tiled walls sharply contrast with the dark marble stonework along the workstops and floor but it does give a rich feel to it. Everything needed in a kitchen can be found in relation to appliances and even foods (although some are of a more foreign quality nowadays). Floor One
[.television room.]
Is as it says, an area to sit in and watch the television in peace. This was perhaps where Lord Yuthing would have kept any disturbing people (such as children) but recently Hayaharu has found that the couches are suitably more comfortable in here than in the living area. Floor One
[.living room.]
The Living Room is where guests are brought and is the richest in the house. It has many trinkets and fine pieces of artwork on the wall while a large panda rug lies across the floor by the marble fire place. Everything looks very nice in this room but Hayaharu rarely uses this room due to the lack of comfort in the chairs. Floor One

//OOC Phoenix Information// 
The Phoenix can be summoned in a number of ways, there are two important ones that are used most frequently though and these are the materia (from FF7) and the Phoenix Pinion (FF8-FF9).
It is obvious however that from the earlier games the Phoenix could be summoned whenever it was selected by the player however this changed following FF8. From FF8 onwards the Phoenix has been a 'random' encounter that varies upon luck and the number of pinions you have in your inventory...this gives things a more realistic feel as if a Phoenix perishes it takes quite a while to return to it's original strengths.
