Gaia Username: Anthenor
Name: Anthenor (no last name to speak of)
Gender: Male
Age: 20

Race: Human
Class/Occupation: Asha'man soldier
Nationality: Andoran, possibly
Alliance: The Black Tower, Andor, Illian, The White Tower

Appearance: Anthenor is tall for an Andor-man; while he is a head shorter than most Aiel he is still above average in height. His eyes are green and hair is blond. He is dressed typically for a Soldier; the famous black coat and matching trousers with no pin on the collar. His face is unmarked from scars and is fair looking, but nothing to draw attention. He is well built from years of living off the land.

Personality: He is the mysterious 'scarred' type. He doesn't talk much or open up, and blends in with everybody. You wouldn't notice him unless he talked to you with the sad, deep voice of his. No one knows much about him, but the ones he opens up to are concerned about him. Most guess he carries some emotional baggage from the Last Battle.

Skills: Unlike the graceful blademasters who dance when the fight, this one fights like he is twice his size and strength. A terror with a large two handed sword and throwing axes, but nothing a blademaster couldn't finish easily. He seems to have some potential with the True Source, but an average one for Asha'man, so it would seem.

Weapons: He carries a large, brutish two-handed sword about half a foot wide and four feet long, single edge with a silhouette of a tiger about to pounce. He also has six throwing axes on him. Small enough to conceal, large enough to do a go deal of damage.

Talents: Seems to have the Talent of a Dreamer. For Traveling, he cannot open a gateway large enough to fit anything but someone of his hight or smaller. In channeling, he is strongest in weaving Fire.

Biography: Something he doesn't like to talk about. Though quite common, he was born in an Andoran village that was quite small. Early on found with the spark for channeling by Mazrim Taim in his expeditions. He went with Taim to the Black at age 16, leaving his child friend, Tiffany, and his single mother behind. In the Black Tower he met a Dedicated named Zacreiria, and the two became good friends. One day during the Last Battle, he and Zac and several other Asha'man went in defense of the area Anthenor's home town was in. The Asha'man leader found the Black Ajah after a sa'angreal hidden in the village. The Asha'man fought long and hard against the shadowspawn and Dark Aes'Sedai. In the end the village was burned and a former Red sister made off with the sa'angreal. Anthenor was the lone survivor of the battle and returned in shame to the Black Tower. Weeks later he went missing from the Black Tower. Some rumors say he went to avenge his village, some say he ended up Moridin's prisoner and was twisted with the Dark One's Power. Most believe he got lost in despair and tried to kill himself by living off the land. Having failed that he returned to complete his training at the Black Tower. Yet something seemed different in his potential. He is close to achieving the status of Dedicated, despite his previous troubles. He left with Andurael to save his sister.

Gaia Username: Heavy_Metal_Hippie
Name: Cobain (no last name to speak of)
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-nine

Race: Human
Class/Occupation: Wanderer; Warder to Kiae Sedai
Nationality: Unkown origin, mixed blood.
Alliance: Cobain is in league only with himself and his few friends.

Appearance: Long, dark brown hair, it shows streaks of blonde in the sun. He has green eyes and his skin is tanned from the sun. He has a tattoo of the same design of his headband on his chest, and a scar on his side from a Trolloc blade. Usually, whenever he smiles, it's a sad one and he usually has a sad look in his eyes. Cobain is six foot, two inches and weighs 180 pounds.

Personality: A quiet sort of person, Cobain seems to be withdrawn and somewhere else most of the time. He is completely different when he is among friends, always grinning, with a contaigous laugh. He made a pact two years ago to never take a human life except in dire need, but that does not mean he is a peaceful person. However, he is well-mannered and prefers to help people rather than cause trouble.

Skills: He is good with ropes and boatwork, navigation, and a bit of woodscraft. He is an even match for a Blademaster with his bardiche, and proficient with his several knives.

Weapons: Poleblade (bardiche) with a blunted blade, and several knives of various purpose.

Biography: When he was young, Trollocs and a bandit clan raided his village; they killed his father, mother and brother, and his sister disappeared. And so Cobain set off on his own at age fifteen, swearing to bring vengeance to the bandit clan at fault and every Trolloc he came across. He became a captain of a pirate ship at age seventeen, but his crew led a mutiny against him a year later.
At age nineteen he met Kiae and a group of assorted others - falling deeply in love with Kiae, and coming to recognize most of her little group as friends - even fathering a child with Kiae. And for a while he was happy and content. But he had to continue on his own, to fufill his vow and finally be at peace with the world. He was forced to leave suddenly, as he feared Kiae ond his newfound friends would follow and endanger themselves. After his quest he took a vow to never again take a human life except in the most dire circumstances. Although he was Bonded to Kiae, it seems only to have forced them further apart despite his best efforts to keep her from running away again. Was killed by Volkhuin in an attempt to destroy's Kiae's resolve and perhaps the party.

Gaia Username: Color Me Fubar
Name: Hierra Uroarn
Gender: Female
Age: 25

Race: Human
Class/Occupation: Aiel Warrior
Nationality: Shianden
Alliance: Aiel

Appearance: Hierra is of average height, being 5'6, and bears a slender body fit for one who dances with death. She has the red hair and green eyes of the Aiel, and moves like one who is a hunter.
Hierra
Personality: Once believing everything was black and white, Light and Shadow, Hierra made her own belief that nothing was wrong if it was justified when her sister killed a man who tried to rape her. At first horrified by the violent act, she soon reconciled herself to it.
She is a typical Aiel - stubborn, fiercely loyal, and deadly. She is also passionate, and possess a temper that can prove fatal for those who anger her. She has a strong spirit, and rarely gives into her emotions in battle, believing empty actions to be the best choice.
When she left her tribe, however, she chose to dress in a gown rather than warrior clothing - perhaps revealing that she still longs for the romance she once lost. Her naginata, however, is still slung on her back, and knives are hidden about her person.

Skills: Hierra prefers deadly grace over brute force, and so chose the naginata as her favored weapon. She possess varying proficiency in all weapons, having been trained by her uncle, but holds a fascination for knives as well.
Weapons: Her naginata, and several knives hidden about her person.
Talents: Hierra possess finely-tuned senses and lightening-quick reflexes due to her training.

Biography: Hierra is only one of many children born to her family: with two older brothers, an older sister, a younger brother, and two younger sisters, she was often lost admist the chaos of the household. Her love of knives was discovered at an early age; three years old, Hierra almost stabbed her father in the leg when she found the butcher knife. After that, all sharp objects were kept out of reach until she learned not to wave them around wildly.
Her father's brother decided to see if she had any skill, and so began to teach her from age five. She was a quick learner. She also grew to develop an adventurous spirit and a love of books, and traveled with her father often to learn of the world outside her tribe. Her father nurtured this, proud that one of his children showed an interest other than the Aiel.
At eighteen, she was considering becoming a Maiden of the Spear when she met a young man - a scholar who had traveled far to learn of the Aiel ways. She became infatuated with him and planned to leave with him. Her younger sister discovered the plot, however, and manipulated her into staying. Hierra's guilt over her supposed disloyalty and shame was so great she forced the young man to leave in the dead of night, and refused to join the Maidens. She devoted her life to the art of fighting and her family, shunning all suitors until there was none left.
She also abandoned her travels and books, something which her father quickly noted. She refused his request to continue her studies, and remained in relative isolation for seven years.
Hierra was forced to confront her guilt, however, when her younger sister - the same who had her stay - left the tribe and ran away to the world. Hierra was ordered to go and fetch her. Gathering her naginata and knives, she obeyed the order and departed from her tribe.
