Having been around for what the Sabremes would happily let you assume is forever but is really just six or seven generations, the Sabremes are a fairly established branch of nobility. Having been created from the line of a particularly valorous knight back in the mists of time, it's a surprise that they appear to be such fops now. The Sabreme family are great patrons of the arts in Tyrol,spending great deals of money to sponsor and invest in great cultural works - though their focus as a main is on established, "safe" artists. Their children are taught music from an early age and they generally have a few bards employed around their household. It's a fairly open secret that most artists they employ are as paid much for the information they can pass back to their sponsors as they are for their art works. A bit of friendly spying and healthy competition never hurt anyone - if the family's a little...cut-throat, does it matter? The head of the family caused some controversy by marrying a woman from a merchant family two decades ago, but

Full Name: Cataline Taresa Sabreme Race: Human If Other, provide a description of how they differ from humans: n/a Occupation: Noble, sponsor of starving arteests, wife. Faction, if applicable: Being religious, she would align herself with The Citadel Reputation & rumors: There are rumours that her father was never a merchant but a thief spread by the less scrupulous members of the Sabreme family. Also that she might be having affairs with some of the artists she sponsors, spread by the same. Being a philanthropist who gives to the poor and has sponsored several unknown artists who later became well-known, she's believed to be either a foolish woman who's struck it lucky a few times, or a kindly lady with a good eye for talent, depending on the person. Age: 37 Birthday: 6th July (6/7) Birth Location: Tyrol Height: 5'4 Weight: 125 PB (Played-By): Penélope Cruz
History: Cataline's father came to Tyrol from Spain to make his fortune, with only some money inherited from his father, his brother's fiancée and his brother's promise that if he saw his face in Madrid again he would lose his head. You could say that distrusting family was something Cataline inherited, and you'd be fairly close to the truth. Her father taught her to be cautious and ready for changes for the worst even as his merchant business went from strength to strength

Around three months ago, Cristofolo Snr. developed a slight cough. A few weeks ago this escalated into great choking coughs that wrack his entire body and leave him gasping for air. He's grown far weaker too and now has to look after the family interests from his bed. Though she's scared of what will happen to him, Cataline must admit she is more afraid of what will happen to her and her children should he die. She's already aware of a few preparing claims that her common blood has diluted the noble blood in her children's veins and thus another would be a better heir - even a couple suggesting that her son was fathered by one of the artists she has sponsored. She's preparing for the worst, concentrating on her son's ability to lead while searching out a good match for her daughter, so they'll have allies should need be

Whenever he tried to focus on his studies, he was called a weakling and a sword was thrust into his hands. He didn't resent being the crown prince, he simply did not understand what the position entailed. His bad habit of staying up all through the night reading started at a young age. As such, he grew frail and unsuited for a real sword. So, disgraced, his father sent him to a fencing instructor
( ... )
Lusine was born next, a beloved daughter. Ishmael's reign continued. No one was more surprised by that fact than the king. He suspected his sister had something to do with it, but he did not want to ask questions. However, after Sevda was born, another beautiful daughter, Aleida began to grow feeble
( ... )
Personality: As someone who has lived most of his life in the limelight, Ishmael is above all else cautious. Socially restrained (some might even say repressed), he talks very little outside of being directly addressed and usually confines himself to business, literature, the weather and the health of his family. As a result, most people find him rather predictable and dull, but that's preferable to being stock for gossip. In political settings, however, Ishmael is outspoken, opinionated and extremely forceful so long as his sister is not in the room. Among the nobility he is looked down upon for being a coward and squandering his ability to be a good king in the face of his elder sibling. The moment Katrin steps inside the meeting room, he fades into meekness

Amelia VaristatheguindoApril 26 2011, 04:01:04 UTC
Full Name: Amelia Joanna Varista Race: Human If Other, provide a description of how they differ from humans: N/A Occupation: Adept, machinist/mechanic/engineer Faction, if applicable: The Golden Hour Reputation & rumors: She's not married because there's something wrong with her (what, exactly, is highly variable). Her godfather won't let her marry because he's keeping her in reserve for whenever his current wife dies. Her parents aren't really dead, they just ran out on her because of how OBNOXIOUS she is. She's trying to build an army of clockwork automatons (she might have started this one herself, actually). Age: 20 Birthday: August 5 Birth Location: Tyrol Height: 5'7" Weight: 150lb PB: Alison Sudol
History: Amelia's father was a guardsman whose best friend was the Indian merchants' son, Ravindra Naran. They were such good friends, in fact, that Ravindra was named Amelia's godfather before she was even born, and "Uncle Ravi" was a constant presence in her life growing up. It was no great surprise, then, that when her father died in action when she was three years old, Uncle Ravi practically adopted her
( ... )
Personality: Subtlety is not in Amelia's vocabulary and she does nothing by halves. If some personalities could be described as fine strokes on a canvas, Amelia's would be paint splashed on a wall. Her moods can shift without warning, but they are always obvious
( ... )
Appearance: Amelia's most notable physical trait is her wavy copper-red hair, shoulder-blade length but usually worn up as a matter of course. She doesn't have any especially strong feelings on it. Some people make fun of it, some people seem to really like it, whatever you guys it's just hair, it's not mysterious and crazy just cuz it's red! She has finely arched eyebrows over brown eyes, full lips, and a heart-shaped face. She also has a pale complexion and burns easily.
She is on the tall side for a woman, standing at 5'7", and rarely wears flat shoes. Her body is pear-shaped, with a small bust and wide hips. She tries to dress to de-emphasize her hips, because she is a little self-conscious about them (especially because wide hips is a sign of fertility and she'd rather people not notice that).
Languages Known: English (literate), can say "hello, how are you, my name is" in Hindustani thanks to her godfather and can recognize Devanagari script but can't read it. Skills: Good with machines and numbers, knows her way around

Using the dead boy’s appearance as a human guise, he traveled with the flow of the unknown force calling to him. Tyrol is where he found it. Niran has found the Golden Hour to be accepting and accommodating, though he doesn’t quite know what he’s supposed to do now. A capital city where injustices are part of the morning schedule is no place for a sensitive beast like him. Anchored to Tyrol by the power of Belief, Niran has only become sadder and quieter

ADDENDUM: her horn can purify or heal by making contact with the injured area and her blood can heal if applied topically and it glitters in the sun like a water arch on a bright sunny day
