mrgreen No prior knowledge of the asylum or anything about it. We're all in it for our own reasons, but none of us know the exact nature of any of the scary s**t. (I'm trying to avoid those "I know just what to do! Hop aboard, as I steer this RP right into the realm of the ridiculous and boring!")

Username: Ty Gwynnia
Character Name: Daniel Goldenlyre
Race: Human
Appearance: Tall and built, Daniel is more than often in a full suit of armor that has seen more than its fair share of battles. The leather belt about his waist holds his helm when not upon its owners head. Underneath, he wears a leather jerkin, faded pants, and a ring on his finger. Despite his youngish appearance, his pale chestnut hair and the short beard he sports are both salt-and-pepper, and his blue eyes are solemn.
Weapon of Choice: Longsword and heater shield. The longsword has a bright steel blade with many dings and scratches, and hilt of worn, dark leather. The crossguard lays straight across the top of the blade and bears no ornamental details of any kind. The shield is mostly composite wood braced with iron, and bears a many-petaled pink rose on a field of deep purple.
Special Skills or Know-how: Bold and grim in the face of danger, he is more than willing to take another man's, or woman's, place if given the chance. Although his metal gear prevents him from being silent or sneaky, his inguenity with it more than makes up for the disadvantage.
Brief Bio: Daniel hails from a far off land as a knight. He prefers not to go much further than that, other than the fact that his years there caused a great amount of stress on himself.
Status: Alive
Anything Else: Daniel struggles internally with the darken side of his human nature, and is deathly afraid of losing himself to it.

Username: Ty Gwynnia
Character Name: Shania Goldenlyre
Race: Wandering dryad
Appearance: Small in size and average in proportions, but still very alluring to the eyes. Shania is clothed in a white priestess garb: a simplistic, slightly low-cut dress with long, voluminous sleeves, and the hem brushing the tops of her toes. She wears an ankh on a silver chain about her neck and a ring flashes brightly on her right hand. Her hair is a sandy combination of blonde and brown, and her eyes are a deep teal.
Weapon of Choice: Enchanted oaken staff (immune to breaking), an ankh of the goddess of tranquilty, and a flail.
Special Skills or Know-how: Shania has an impeccable sense of direction and rarely ever gets lost.
Brief Bio: Shania was once a bound dryad, a sort of nymph that is tied to a home tree. When her tree was struck by lightning and she was on the verge of dying, she was given a chance to live without it if she found someone willing to take the place of the tree. That someone was Daniel, a man who'd often taken to laying beneath the oak as he rested and dreamt of a beautiful woman. The two fell in love. She became a priestess of the goddess that had allowed her to live among humans, and has since become a wandering dryad, staying by the side of her beloved.
Status: Alive
Anything Else: She constantly worries about Daniel and grows panicky if not with or near him.

Username: Orcus Fieres
Character Name: Dæmon Alsk
Race: Well-sized Giant (e.i Not “Jack and the Bean Stalk”)
Appearance: Dæmon is burly, rough skinned and of great height—easily identifiable as a giant. He does well to cover himself with fitted cloths and a leather coat. His hair is thick, but his hair line is slightly receding which, despite refutation, he believes suits him. His eyes and hair are both a dark brown tinged with dull and dark yellows.
Weapon of Choice: Dæmon’s fists usually fit his needs, but he does carry a hooked cane with him that can double as a weapon and a set of brass knuckles.
Special Skills or Know-how: Besides his great strength, Dæmon has experience with policing around city streets. He’s well known for his ability to memorize and connect bits of information—though he isn’t considered intellectual, he does understand that he posses abilities not even most high elves posses: common sense.
Brief Bio: Dæmon was born during a time of great reform among races, his parents did well in introducing him to as many ideas as possible, in part so that he was able to conform to different societies and also so that he wouldn’t get caught up in the muck of power hungry men. He was raised near a city (or more of a commune) far from even the countryside of the bigger empires and was aware of many different cultures there. He grew up with peace in mind, even if it meant tossing a few people across town to get it.
Status: Alive.
Anything Else: He wears a ward for physical pain. It allows him to take more pain than most. The ward might not be real, but having it allows him to suppress pain subconsciously.

Username: Ty Gwynnia
Character Name: Ruskie Terragut
Race: Halfing
Appearance: Standing at 4 feet and 2 inches tall, Ruskie's deep auburn hair is tousled on his head and held down by a forest green cap, a blue feather sticking out artfully.

Username: Ty Gwynnia
Character Name: Tarnbel'en "Knife-Ears" Lianse
Race: Elf

His black hair is streaked with silver and pulled into a tight ponytail revealing a widow's peak, and two small, silver hoops decorate the tops of his pointed ears. His weatherworn and lined face, an oddity among most of his kin, as well as arms are a healthy tan. He wears a simple dark green tunic, lather bracers, deep brown pants, a sturdy belt, and goes barefoot.
Weapon of Choice: Twin silver-bladed daggers called Lunafern and Lunasern, translated as Moonflash and Moonsear and a yew bow.
Special Skills or Know-how: He is an excellent duelist, tracker and archer, and his accuracy is unparalleled.
Brief Bio: Tarnbel went on a spiritual journey to the sea from his people and their home in the forest half a decade before the present. Upon reaching it, he knew that his heart would forever be for the sea and would find no rest underneath the trees ever again. Having no other plans apart from his journey, he continued his wandering and eventually became interested in eliminating any evil whose rumors came to his ears.
Status: Alive
Anything Else: He took the insult of "Knife-Ears" from humans as his last name in defiance of their name calling and in homage of his blade skills. Also, he's sometimes a bit of a racist towards said humans.
