SoA's Name:Parthenia Proper Name: Wu Ming House Desired: West Desired Rank: Storyteller (2) Personality: Parthenia is a big daydreamer. Often she can be found staring off into the distance while thinking about her next story. Though she will never, ever tell anyone about what they are. She keeps very high walls around herself, shutting down completely when things get too stressful. Why do they want to join?: She is tired of wandering the roguelands and wishes to find a more permanent home where she can share what's inside her head.
SoA's Name:Idalia Proper Name: Xiao Da House Desired: North Desired Rank: Hunter (0) Personality: Relaxed and bordering on lazy, Idalia likes to experiment with ways to make her life easier. The only thing she doesn't mind doing is hunting, since it usually ends in her having a tasty meal. What's better than having a meal? Lazing around on an empty stomach. It's the highlight of every day. Why do they want to join?: She was in the area and thought she'd give being a pride lion a try. She figures being a hunter is the easiest job since she's not interested in doing all sorts of random things for others. Go get a kill, bring it back. Easy!
SoA's Name:Grimhilt Proper Name: Tian Chao House Desired: North Desired Rank: Scout (2) Personality: A bit on the energetic side. Grimhilt likes to be active and detests sitting around. If she's made to, she will fidget constantly until she is able to get up and do something. On the bright side, she does sleep wonderfully after having tired herself out the whole day. Why do they want to join?: She was in the area and thought she'd volunteer to help out with whatever needed to be done. It was better than being alone and bored out in the roguelands.
SoA's Name:Ahti Proper Name: Song Yan House Desired: West Desired Rank: Painter (2) Personality: A quiet dude, Ahti likes being on his own. Not out of a need for privacy or because he's an introvert. He likes to spend time in deep thought, thinking about just about anything, from random things around him to what might have happened recently. He used to bottle things up this way, going over it silently before storing it in the back of his mind. After learning this was unhealthy as he would lash out more and more, he learned how to channel his emotions through art. Be it scratching in the dirt, smashing up different fruits for colors, or carving something with his claws out of wood. Whenever he felt a strong emotion, he would rush off to a quiet place to process it and make art out of it. It calms him and releases any bad feelings that might have been swirling inside his brain. Why do they want to join?: To see where his creativity can take him!
SoA's Name:Nikica Proper Name: Zhu Zhen House Desired: East Desired Rank: Philosopher (4) Personality: Nikica might not have much of a sense of humor and tends to show a serious side that barely smiles, but he's not cold-hearted. He's always loved to observe the world around him and learn from seeing, recording everything inside his impressive memory. He can often be found staring at someone or something, replaying different puzzles inside his head or analyzing something recently experienced. This sometimes gets him into trouble when he fails to stop and consider the situation from the point of view of someone else, believing his knowledge so superior that he instantly knows the answer to everything. This concerns him little. Why do they want to join?: This felt like the perfect place to be to continue to evolve his knowledge and be recognized for it.

SoA's Name:Sulaiman Proper Name: Jingyi (quiet, still, gentle) House Desired: South Desired Rank: Hunter - 0 Personality: Brooding and quiet, standoffish, doesn't like large crowds and is often lost in thought. A bit of a weird vibe comes off him but he's not out to get anyone. Just a natural loner who doesn't have the best social filter. Why do they want to join?: Although nothing bad has ever happened to him personally, Sulaiman is very aware of his lineage and wishes to not have the stigma of being a grandchild of Shangyue over his head. In the Tianxia he can start over a bit as no one knows his history and he can hopefully allow this constant sense of being judged to die down.
SoA's Name:Msiba Current House: East Current Rank: Student Desired Rank: Teacher - 2
SoA's Name:Isa Proper Name: Li Qiang - logic; strong House Desired: East Desired Rank: Teacher - 2 Personality: Outspoken and confident, Isa is as rambunctious as his mother and as determined as his father. Though he is strong and can hold his own in a fight as all Firekin must do, his true strength lies in his mind. Isa is a sponge for information and gets more pleasure out of telling other lions how wrong they are rather than settling things with a duel. Why do they want to join?: Isa never felt like he fit in back home thanks to the pressure put on him by his parents - the General and an aspiring Battlemaster - to become a Soldier rather than a Teacher. After a few years he finally made the decision to leave the Firekin, not one he made lightly, and has been in the rogue lands for a bit trying to find a new home. He bumped into Ahadi who told him his talents may be put to use in the Tianxia, so he came to hopefully find a new place to call home.
