I thought it would be fun to have a thread dedicated to our Character Descriptions.
This is not the place for an epic 30-chapter story of your character's life... but perhaps personalized details not immediately noticable in-game etc, or if you like, a brief description of your most recent history etc!
Name: Lyra
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: Approximately 27
Class: Bright Wizard
Guild: Legendary
Height: 5'4%26quot;
Weight: Roughly 140 lbs.
Physical Description: Standing at just over five feet, she has a curved, well-rounded figure. Though pale in complexion, her brilliant blue eyes stand out against the cream of her skin, above a generous smattering of light freckles. Clear and alert, her eyes are offset by thick, dark brows and a pert, slightly-upturned nose.
Her oval face is split by an often sardonic smile, and her lips are occasionally curled up in a wry half-grin. Silver hoops grace both ears, as well as her thumbs and third finger of her left hand. The long, supple fingers lack the calluses of a trained warrior, and rest easily on the worn, glowing wood of her trusted staff.
Her voice is a rich contralto, flavored with a hard to place, lilting, exotic accent and she speaks with an almost musical cadence to her words.
Brief Up-To-Date History: RP in-game with Lyra if you want to learn about her history.

Age: Approximately 25
Class: Bright Wizard
Guild: BANE
Height: 5'11%26quot;
Weight: Roughly 185 lbs.
Physical Description: Lukas is of a sturdy, well tanned build with a clean shaven face and perfectly shaved head. His attire is in perfect arrangement and he carries himself with a measured stride. He wears a careful expression and chooses his words diplomatically before speaking them, practicing the courtesy of the courts in his common dealings.
Though he has been a professional soldier and is still a mercenary wizard who applies 100% of himself into the battles he wages against Chaos, he does not do so without composure. It's with a clinical eye that he assesses each siege, and he will apply his force precisely where he feels it will leverage the greatest result.

Name: Aienn Anakiir
Gender: Female
Race: High Elf
Age: 113
Height: 5'11%26quot;
Weight: 150...ish

Her face, thus far unscarred, carries a quick smile and eyes the color of blood. Long, red-gold hair flows like a river from under her helmet; on the few occasions she removes it in public, she rarely takes any extra precautions to fix it, and thus it keeps somewhat a tousled quality.
