ZCerberus Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 *I will get a new photo of only Trian Burress soonish. Name: Trian Burress Rank: Lord of Mesodraconem Age: 51 Weapon of Choice: Javelin and shield (mounted) and Axe (on foot) History: Sir Burress, an old friend to the Artorious Rex's father, helped free the Enchanted Forest from the clutches of the House of Baine during Avalonia's "wild period". It is said Burress’s well timed cavalry charge through the Enchanted Forest finally broke the House of Baine at the Battle of Eli’s Rock. As a reward for his service, Lord Rex awarded Sir Burress Lordship over Mesodraconem and a post in the capital city of Albion to help rebuild the Pearl City to its former glory. Little is known Burress’s life before joining forces with Artorious’s father to free the Enchanted Forest from the terror of the House of Baine. Some say he was born to a Kaliphlin woman and Mitgardian man in a Nocturnus dungeon while others claim he is the secret heir and only surviving member of the House Greffin. The House of Burress may not rule Mesodraconem for long as Lord Burress, middle-aged at best, has never been married and has sired no children; though he has been linked in rumor to an Elven priestess named Mitress Greenclove. Lord Burress’s first orders of business when named Lord of Mesodraconem was to rebuild all the public schools and commission a new garrison at River Run Watchtower. He has since been questing throughout all of Historica to track down the rumored surviving members of the House of Baine.
Legonardo Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 What if our figure doesn't have a rank as such? make one up?
Zach Mills Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 make one up? Sergent bandit killer at arms? Captain of the treasure hunters guard? Maybe not! XD

Doornroosje Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Name: Kariny Rhiannon Rank: Green Rider (elite messenger of Avalonia) Age: 19 Weapon of Choice: long sword History: Kariny Rhiannon is the daughter of a wealthy merchant and an unknown noblewoman (her father keeps it a secret) who died at her birth. At age 15 she heard the Green Riders call. At first she tried to ignore it, her father wants her to become head of his trade company in the future. However Green Rider Magic is very strong and she couldn’t resist it any longer. She started her 3 years apprenticeship at Arod Mearas and got her Green Rider horse Chestnut. Horseriding was something she learned before she could walk, however other skills required of Green Riders she had to learn just as the other apprentices. The second year when she went to the Forest outlaws to learn everything about tracking, wilderness survival and archery, she discovered her special magical ability when in danger from some evil drows. (maybe you’ll find out in later MOCs what it is, for know I keep it a secret). She has a talent for sword fighting and won the famous Sword Fighting tournament of Arod Mearas. After three years apprenticeship she earned her Green Rider title. She is fiercely loyal to the Green Riders and Avalonia, a bit stubborn , can have a bit of a temper, but is loved by all her friends for her kind nature. When she is not on a mission she has a room above the Armory at Arod Mearas. Her white cat ‘Ghost’ always sleeps on her bed. When Kariny is on a mission the Sword Master takes care of her cat.
Zach Mills Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 make something sane up - how does that sound? Well, my character doesn't have a job, and hasn't served in the military. There isn't really any titles that suit him.

de Gothia Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Name: de Gothia Rank: Lord of Benoic Age: 30 Weapon of Choice: Long sword History: de Gothia have lived his whole life in Avalonia. No one knows his first name, and it will be a secret to his death. It was hard times before Artorious Rex and his men came to clear out all the evil out. de Gothia joined the "Flight of Dragons" soon after they reached his castle, Gothia Castle. Finally he could bring justice to those who slaughtered his mother, father and brother. The only family member he has left is Quinn, his niece. He promised his brother to look after her and guard her and let her decide self who she would marry. Once the land was cleard out of the evil, Artorious Rex gave de Gothia his land back and named it Benoic. In Benoic there are no large city, just smaller villages and one great castle, Gothia Castle. The landscape is rolling green fields and old countryside. Edited May 17, 2012 by de Gothia
Jason Cicchini Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 First of all, congratulations to everyone on really amazing, "oh-my-God-we're-finally-going-to-win-a-challenge!" entries. Let's keep up the great momentum! Secondly, I am totally psyched for the next level of the Guilds. I've grown exponentially since its inception, and since it'll only get harder and more interesting as time goes on, I can't wait to see what'll become of all the little plans I've concocted. And now, my bio! Name: Kelperth Darwyn Age: 28 Weapon of Choice: Greatsword Character Info: Son of Lord Jarr and Lady Meldre Darwyn. Rumored to be romantically entagled with Lady Talisa Forkroot, caretaker of Dar' Kalil (Avalonia's Embassy in Kaliphlin.) He was trained since the age of 8 in swordplay, and insisted on serving in the Royal Army of Darwynia at age 14. After his parent's deaths, he assumed leadership of the province, and was quickly regarded as a fair, decisive, and forward-thinking leader. He resides by himself in a small apartment above the Blacksmith Shop in the town proper as opposed to the Royal Keep, a well guarded deception used as a decoy for potential assassins. His steed, Rain, was a gift of his father's on his 21st birthday, and some have said the two share an almost telepathic connection.
Derfel Cadarn Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 Greet work guys, keep the character Bios coming. Just a note, you only need a picture of your main sigfig/character with his/her horse. So feel free to set up a heroic pose of your main character on their steed, as it will be the main pic for the Bio's. So Jason, If you want to redo a pic with just your character I can add that instead.
Derfel Cadarn Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 I've started adding the Bio's. I think it gives a good extra bit of insight into our realm of Avalonia.

It was already clear that he had to start a career in the royal army, so that in his early age he was forced to begin a military training. Through his skill and an unintentional help of his father, he went at the age of 20 the career ladder quickly imported. During this time he gained his nickname "hellboy," in reason of his strategic skills and knowledge in topics of warfare. He has a lot of enemies, because many military people don’t want to see this young person in a so powerful position. He advocate for the development of gunpowder weapons and steam-powered tools and for the military useful. For the successful battles, who Fortes defeated, he gets a small island in northwest of Avalonia in the Avalonian ocean, which he called Fortes Isles. There he has this domicile and two small towns under his rule. The town people love him for his low taxes. Edited May 26, 2012 by hellboy

Arlindus' mother, Awhyn, was an adventure that settled in Circardia and married Orthus. Sadly she died after giving birth to Arlindus leaving Orthus to raise his son on is own. When Arlindus was 15, Dywinlyn, High Chief of the Elven Oak Heart Clan, invited him to learn the ways of the elves.

Over the next ten years, Arlindus strengthened the Phoenix Guard and improved the lands of Circardia, largely ridding the lands of evil beasts and outlaws providing a small vestige of safety to Circardia's inhabitants from the uncertainties in Avalonia before Artorious Rex united the lands. Arlindus answered the call of Artorious Rex and pledged himself and the Phoenix Guard to the "Flight of the Dragons" Artorius Rex granted Arlindus the title of Lord of Circardia for his heroism during the Battle of Red Ford.
