(no subject)
I have begun work again on the story that was first introduced in the prelude found here, entitled "The Twins."
So far all I have is some character sketches. They are of the twins at the age of 10. For this first story, part of it is going to be when they are 10, and then when they are 17. Later this week, when I have time, I am also going to write profiles for when they are 17.
Bralin Jasra, age 10
Bralin was born on the thirty-first day of Iaerad. He is a boy of average height and weight for his age (4'5", 50 lbs). His pitch black hair is long and usually kept in a ponytail. Bralin's eyes are such a pale blue that they appear to be almost whie. His skin is deeply tanned from working on his father's farm. Working on the farm has also made him physically stronger than most children his age.
Mentally, Bralin is extremely advanced. He was speaking coherently at just under one year of age, and was able to read and write by the age of three. When he entered school at the age of seven, he was already fluent in four languages (common tongue, maedhren, Elder Speak and the Craygian trade language), as well as literate in all of them.
Bralin enjoys reading in his spare time (what little he has). HIs areas of interest are mainly focused on history (both modern and ancient) and religion. The study of the Old Ones is a special delight to Bralin.
Perceived as a "bookworm" by his peers, Bralin doesn't have many friends. This doesn't particularly bother him, as he spends his time either doing chores or studying.
When he gets older Bralin hopes to be able to go to [ regional capital ] and study at the Academy.
Sha'ne Jasra, age 10
Sha'ne is the twin sister to Bralin. She is the same height and weight as her brother, yet looks completely different. Her hair is pure white and shoulder length, and her eyes are such a dark brown as to appear almost black. Like her brother, her skin is heavily tanned, but not quite as much. Sha'ne, like Bralin, is physically stronger than most other children her age.
As with her brother, Sha'ne is very mentally gifted. On this level she is an equal with Bralin in terms of abilities and accomplishments.
In her spare time (which is even less than Bralin's) Sha'ne chooses not to study, but to practice fighting. She is particularly adept at unarmed combat, and her sword techniques are already more advanced than many seasoned veterans. While dual swords are her preferred weapon, she is exceedingly skilled with almost all weapons.
Unlike her brother, Sha'ne is well known by her peers. She has a reputation for being somewhat of a bully, and is the leader of a gang of five older children ( three boys and two girls).
When Sha'ne gets older she wants to run of to [ reasonably distant land ] and join the [ mercenary group ].
