Welcome to Gaia! ::

Likely Hang-outs:
Ayle spent a few years living on one of the farms in the rural country between Palisade and Oldcastle; since being Chosen, however, he was drawn to Palisade and now lives at the Swan as a bodyguard to protect the girls. Though, with his independent nature and tendency to roam, sometimes it's hard to find him at all.

Plots:
Ayle is a wild sort and is easily distracted by the world at large; he hates being cooped up and roams the city nearly weekly. He has not been to Oldcastle yet, but that's just a matter of time. He also lives at the Swan, which seems unlikely -- a handsome young man living in a brothel. He was lured in by Maeve's posters, in truth, and cannot resist the idea of spoiling for war. As he's decent with both fists and edged weapons, he could tutor others in the arts of self-defense (he is currently doing this with Petra).

Siscalus:
Focused and intense, Siscalus has an air of energy just barely held in check. In the Dreaming, Siscalus is laconic and speaks only when he has something of import to say -- and there is still that sense of energy barely held in check. He comes off as, at best, impatient and irritated; at worst, he is combative and surly. The only person he likes being around is Ayle.

Likely Hang-outs:
As she is still a girl of sixteen, most of Jessica's time is spent on the Talbot manor, under the watchful eye of her tutors and mother and father. However, Jessica is also apt to make a trip to Palisade or Oldcastle if she can manage to sneak out -- and she has now been spending quite a lot of time in Palisade with her brother. This her family knows about, but does not approve of.

Plots:
Jessica is currently learning about the upcoming War, and while she is not convinced she can do any good with it, has been at the Swan learning from, and being interrogated by, Maeve.

She is also a girl of sixteen and as such has a peculiar, intense fascination with the male species, despite her intense misgivings about marriage. This has gotten her into trouble before, and will likely do so again.

Basically, anything that might be trouble for a nervous sixteen-year-old Chosen is something I'm game for. Jessica is slowly discovering her inner backbone.

Iskierka:
The doe is a firebrand. The Guardian is not mean-spirited, but she is volatile, impatient, and wants desperately for her Chosen to measure up. She is vocal in her snorts, stomps, bucks, and enjoys (perhaps a little too much) play-fighting with Finnavair when she is at the Swan.

In the Dreaming she is young and female and a bit of a tomboy, spoiling for a play-fight or a race, and loudmouthed and combative. She never gets truly angry, nor is she truly mean, but she is all energy and catalyst for change.

In a bit of frivolity during Beltane, Jessica tied a bow around Iskierka's leg. The doe has allowed it to remain there.

Likely Hang-outs:
Seedier inns/taverns in towns, some with a secret 'back room' used for gambling, bare-knuckle boxing, or even shadier past-times. He's also been known to spend time at the Swan, the Cockerel, or other brothels/establishments of ill repute. He lives in a small house on the Sharpe manor grounds, though he also has a flat in Palisade.

Plots:
Jacob is a member of the Sharpe family, who are pretty well-known in Palisade because they're bankers. By blood, Jacob is a baron. He's just waiting for his father to die to inherit the title and the manor house. He's physically huge and large and intimidating and is used to throwing his weight and good looks around to get what he wants -- he's kind of a spoiled brat that way.

He does very much enjoy the finer things in life and could also be found shopping or eating out. Or starting a fight in a less reputable place just for the hell of it. I'd really like to play him in one of his bareknuckle boxing bouts.

Having recently gotten his arse handed to him by Ayle for mistreating women at the Swan, he is nursing a grudge against the place. However, it's a matter of time before he's drawn back by Maeve's flyers.

Ursa:
Ursa is rather larger than most female Guardians, with long legs but a strong neck and a barrel chest. She, like her Chosen, is used to getting her way. Ursa is extremely direct, easily offended when it comes to perceived slights of honor, and often comes off as impatient and rude.

In the Dreaming, she is quick to action but speaks little.

Ursa is also occasionally seen with a small cream-colored bow tied around one ankle, with a little jingling bell at the middle. This is a gift from Jacob's friend Veer. This past Beltane she wore a festival headdress.
