Name: Silence
Played by: Princess_Feylin
Age: 18
Gender: female
Character Type: main/protagonist
Description: Tall and slim, with an athletic build, Silence is not particularly feminine-looking. Her hair is dark, though the exact shade changes seasonally, like a mink, and she wears it in a long braid down her back. Her eyes are hazel, and therefore as difficult to place in color as her hair. Because she spends a great deal of time outdoors, her skin is tanned. Her hands are callused from all manner of work.
Personality: Silence is neither quick to accept nor to condemn, but once she had formed an opinion, it takes a great deal of work to change her mind. She has learned to be patient and work without complaining, and she doesn't mind hard work. She does not often think about the consequences her actions before committing them, which has allowed her conscience to become quite well-developed. Silence is brave and relatively fearless, but she is prudent and knows when to be careful.
Background: Silence was the daughter of two griffin riders, Dauntless and Grace, and so she was raised in the Eyrie. During her lifetime, a blight struck the griffins of the Eyrie, almost like a plague or avian influenza, killing some and rendering many sterile. Thus, when she turned nine, the age at which one usually receives a griffin egg and the opportunity to imprint on the hatchling, there was no egg for her to receive. Unlike most of her generation at the Eyrie, who left in search of other fortunes, she remained. Later, word came of another Eyrie, and Fortitude, the leader at the time, took about a third of the Eyrie with him to investigate, nominating Valour and his feral griffin, H'raik, to lead the Eyrie in his stead. The other riders concurred. When she was eighteen, Valour's griffin and that of his lover, Sagacity, conceived of a single egg, and Valour granted her the egg, though there were younglings of an age to receive it.

Griffin: Ming-Ming
Name: Valour
Played by: Princess_Feylin
Age: 21
Gender: male
Character Type: supporting actor
Description: Valour's got light brown hair which tends toward shagginess if he doesn't trim it. Because he usually has other things on his mind, he rarely remembers to trim it, and so it's really a matter of how long it takes someone else to get fed up with it hanging in his eyes. His eyes are somewhere between blue and green, depending on the light in which they're viewed. He calls them green, but it's debatable. His skin is naturally fair, but hours and hours and days and days of sun exposure have tanned him pretty thoroughly. There's also speculation that his hair may not be as light-colored as it is, naturally, and that it, too, was bleached by the sun. One of his top incisors is chipped from a fight he was in as a young man, but otherwise he has a pleasant smile. His features are somewhat angular and his build is that of an athlete - well-muscled, but not overtly so. He talks with his hands when he gets excited, and his face is very expressive.
Personality: Valour takes things very seriously, but he has a sense of humour which occasionally turns up at inappropriate times. He has a finely-tuned sense of responsibility and tends to worry too much about everyone, though he has almost no regard for his own safety or welfare. He can't abide dishonest people, which makes duplicity very difficult for him. He holds honor in the highest regard, and takes all insults personally. Valour loves the Eyrie, though he was not born to its life, and there is no one whom he holds in such high esteem as his once-feral griffin, H'raik.
Background: Valour was born the son of a shepherd, but he always aspired to be more. He grew up during a time when one could look to the Untamed Mountains and see a griffin circling above almost all the time. His family tithed to the Eyrie when he was young, as most shepherds living in the area did. It was a formality, as the Eyrie kept its own flocks, but it was a remnant of the days when it had been a necessity to keep the burgeoning griffin population fed. His father had drilled into him that there was no one more honorable than a griffin rider, and meeting one was a great honor, and that there was no greater honor than to ride a griffin. When he was ten, his father was slain defending the flock from a pack of wolves. A griffin rider saved Valour, earning him the boy's undying gratitude. When he was thirteen and his next-oldest brother old enough to watch the flocks, he started up the highest peak in the Untamed Mountains to the Eyrie, determined to make a life for himself there, somehow. When he got there, he found conditions dire, for the Eyrie was still recovering from the plague which had struck at such great detriment. A year later one of the riders came in with a tressed-up feral griffin. Valour immediately decided that, since there were no viable eggs being laid, he would ride the feral griffin, despite the griffin's aversion to the idea and the general Eyrie opinion that it could not be done, and that it would be best to simply kill the feral griffin. It took him until he was fifteen to assert his own supremecy over the feral griffin and cause it to accept and respect him. Then, years behind the other riders-in-training, he began training. It was truly difficult work, but work well worth it. When Fortitude, the leader of the Eyrie went to investigate rumours of another Eyrie, it was Valour who was chosen to lead. He has been the leader of the Eyrie for several years, during which there has been no communication from Fortitude or any of the others.
Griffin: H'raik
Name: Patience
Played by: Princess_Feylin
Age: 25
Gender: male
Character Type: supporting
Description: Patience is tall and relatively fair of features. His hair is a very light brown, almost blond, and his eyes are also clear and relatively pale. He has long, graceful hands and is overall of a very slender build. His nose is long, thin, and somewhat pointed.
Personality: Despite his name, he is not, actually, a particularly patient person. He is a fine healer, and a skilled physician, but his tolerance for fools is severely limited, and his temper can be quite short when dealing with them. However, he can be infinitely patient when waiting for something, and he can be highly empathetic, but most people think of him as something like aloof. In reality, if he's taken a liking to a person, then he is a true and loyal friend, and for all that his tongue can be sharp, it is never any sharper than can be endured by whatever person he's turned it on.
Background: Patience was raised in the Eyrie and discovered early on that his gift for healing was far better suited to work in the infirmary than ridding a-griffin back, and so he never tried for an egg. When everyone else was learning to fly and training griffins, he was learning to cure wounds, draw out fevers, and set broken bones. He is an expert at what he does, and well-used to having his patients ignore his advice, which gives him the semblence of long-sufferance much of the time. His sister had two children Kindo and Wonder, who she left in his care to follow Fortitude. He and his nephew and niece, respectively, do not get along well at all, but he cares for them out of a sense of familial duty. His sister is not in his best graces at the moment. He has been the Eyrie's primary physician and healer for the past several years, since his mentor, Usher, died. Patience has a virtue's name, even though he is not a rider, because it is a mark of respect for his expertise. Few non-riders are granted such an honor. No one has used his true name since he turned fourteen, and most have forgotten it completely, which doesn't bother him in the least.

Griffin: none
Name: Kindo
Played by: ebil mind
Age: 12-ish
Gender: male
Character Type: supporting
Description: Kindo's build is like that of his mother's side of the family, which is to say, tall and slender, though at his age he looks just plain skinny. He's almost always covered with a layer of grime, because his active personality takes him outside much of the time and he's at that age where bathing isn't really his thing. His eyes are brown and his hair is black.
Personality: Kindo's kind of rough-and-tumble, and a very good wrestler, for his size. He can be very immature, particularly around his uncle, and he has little respect for authority, but for Valour, whom he worships.
Background: Kindo is Patience's nephew and, until his mother left, he was quite content never to see his uncle unless he got badly knocked about. He was raised by his mother, who was a very beautiful, if somewhat thoughtless, woman, who instilled in him a very strong will, but never bothered to teach him about common sense. When Silence was given H'raik's egg, he thought that it was beyond unjust, since she was too old by far, according to Eyrie tradition, to receive it, and it has developed into an almost active dislike for her. He is the leader of a gang of other children of approximately his age which includes his younger sister, Wonder, of whom he is secretly fond, but will only admit it under duress.
