Nicholas Darby

Birth:

1985, Chicago, IL

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

pansexual

Style:

Rave wear with heavy pharaonic accents

Attitude:

Laid-back, indomitable, perpetually tired

Nicholas Darby, son of god, Nico to his fans, is an internationally-famous rave DJ and a goddamn socialist.

He spends his time off, when it happens, hanging out in Lucian's living room.

Lucian Cavaletti | Lucifer

Birth:

First Order

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

pansexual, explicitly aromantic

Style:

Stylish, for the current values thereof. Usually just a little too elegant, high quality materials, even in lower-class styles. Most often some suggestion of the Italian Renaissance when high-class, but frequently pharaonic and middle eastern patterns and jewellery.

Attitude:

Lucian Cavaletti, also known as Lucifer, Light of Truth, and a variety other tributes to his blinding nature, the first son of god, is Nico's half-brother on their father's side. He's older than the continents and portrays himself as a pansexual sorcerer from southern Italy. As a result of him having been brutally and irreparably parted from his sister, the first angel of love, for their collective exercise of memory and free will, sickness and death befall those who fall in love with him. He has worn a variety of terrible beards to fend this off.

Gabriel

Birth:

Second Order

Pronouns:

it/it | they/them

Sexuality:

non-traditional. lacks genitals and human desires. but not ace.

Style:

White linen, blue leather, gold accents

Attitude:

Gabriel, Angel of the Annunciation, Lord of the Moon, oft called 'The Man in White Linen', is a Lesser Lord and really enjoys reminding people of that. It refuses to gender its shells and its voice often makes glass ring and speakers blow out. In the modern era, it appears as a catty celebutante with a taste in clothes comparable to David Bowie or Freddie Mercury. Notably, as the Lord of the Moon, Gabi often manifests with skin that takes a bluish reflection.

Belphegor | Peggy

Birth:

Second Order

Pronouns:

she/her | he/him | they/them

Sexuality:

pansexual

Style:

Casual, out of the summoner's presence. According to the summoner's idea of 'enticing' in the summoner's presence. Naked if not summoned.

Attitude:

Belphegor, Moabite Lord of Licentiousness and Invention, 'Peggy' to their friends, is only female when summoned. They're great friends with Lucian, after the two met at a summoning intended for very other Lords from a completely different pantheon — a thing that happens to both of them fairly often, as neither of them are, in fact, Lords of Hell.

Hannah | Anael | Hananiah

Birth:

Third Order

Pronouns:

she/her (for now)

Sexuality:

pansexual

Style:

Wears a lot of long, flowy clothes because very few things fit her straight off the rack

Attitude:

Hannah, named Anael, once called Hananiah, Lord of the Star of Love and Luminary of Human Sexuality, is the tallest of all angels when manifest, usually approaching seven foot among people of average height. In a relatively new shell, one not tempered to contain her essence, contact with her skin induces spontaneous orgasm, and she does make an effort to avoid doing that to people.

Tag:

Hananiah

Sammael

Birth:

Second Order

Pronouns:

he/him | it/it

Sexuality:

(not established)

Style:

Usually several centuries out of date, but can you really say belted tunics have ever gone out of style?

Attitude:

Sammael, Lord of Poison, Angel of Death, Severity of the Holy Father, is rumoured to have fallen, but due to the echoes of someone else's geas, he can't talk about that. Or about his relationship with the Light of Love, Lucian's sister. He's oddly quiet and rarely shows up for anything he hasn't been commanded to do.

Yin

Birth:

(not established)

Pronouns:

she/her

Sexuality:

lesbian

Style:

Vinyl and velvet, frequently in combination

Attitude:

Yin is Nico's personal assistant — she creates the framework he operates in by handling most of the scheduling and resource allocation concerns, while also keeping an eye on local politics, to ensure no one is making a career out of undoing 'his' good works. (Really, nothing is just Nico's work.) She also calls him nothing but 'Boss', just to be an ass.

Moyra

Birth:

(not established)

Pronouns:

she/her

Sexuality:

homoflexible

Style:

Sleeves are for losers, leather and thick natural cloth are in

Attitude:

Moyra is Nico's bodyguard and Yin's girlfriend. She has a strong appreciation for good music, good beer, and punching stuff. She's also in charge of keeping the guards among the Magdalenes integrated into Yin's schedule and ensuring they have the training to handle themselves and anything else that might try to go after them or Bootypants Christ, as she occasionally calls Nico. (See also the time she got drunk and decided the world needed a Nico-centric filk of Baby Got Back. Entirely with Gabriel's encouragement, of course.)

SKY

A love story involving a rock band, childhood best friends, and a history professor few people can say no to.

Sebastian Lindstrom | Severen Bellamorte

Birth:

February 13, 1959, Boston, MA

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

grey asexual

Style:

Yesterday's t-shirts and last week's jeans. On-stage, flamboyantly romantigoth.

Attitude:

Cynical, distrustful, exhausted

Severen Bellamorte, formerly high-school English teacher Sebastian Lindstrom, is the singer of a mid-80s gothpunk band. He's sickly, mentally ill, and 200% nose, and he's in a happy, long-term relationship with the man of everyone else's dreams. He hates the cold, Pittsburgh, and the demons that sit on the end of the bed, and he doesn't talk much about life before he moved in with Sin, in college.

Everett Nilsson | Singularity

Birth:

August 8, 1957, near Shawnee, WY

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

pansexual

Style:

Edwardian fashions, where possible. Tweed jackets and corduroys, where not. Occasionally, evening gowns.

Attitude:

Jovial, witty, a little arrogant, friendly

Singularity, touched by the god Loðurr at birth, is a history professor with the power to change people's minds, which is probably the only reason he still has a job. Despite teaching accurately, he also teaches the role of history in modern political thought and action, which is... not popular with the administration. Beautiful and easy, he finally fell for a man he couldn't accidentally cause to fall for him.

Evan Newkirk | Ebony Arkady

Birth:

May 9, 1964, Los Alamos, NM

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

heteroflexible

Style:

Goth-punk, band t-shirts, tight black jeans, spikes, leather, black lipstick

Attitude:

Angry, bitter, actually depressed

Ebony Arkady, born Evan Newkirk, is the alcoholic drummer who will pick fights he can't win over being touched. He doesn't mind being ambiguously gendered, any more, but he strongly dislikes the idea that having a pretty face marks him as property, an object rather than a subject. Still doesn't stop him from making sure his face is always on, and he's the prettiest member of the band. (Though Liz will fight him for that title and probably win.)

Elizabeth Sinclair | Betty Noir

Birth:

June 12, 1964, Los Alamos, NM

Pronouns:

she/her

Sexuality:

bisexual

Style:

1940s film star

Attitude:

Precise, factual, glamorous, dominant, she has everything under control and all will bend before her will

Betty Noir, born Elizabeth Sinclair, plays keyboard for the mid-80s gothpunk band that she and her best friend, Evan, started in high school. She's got an eye for maths and went into economics and finance, instead of theoretical mathematics, because she is, above most else, practical. Practicality, though, is second to her aesthetic — a 1940s film-star glamour surrounds her, even while she bakes brownies and does the band's taxes.

Barry Moore | Baron von Nocturne

Birth:

September 16, 1968, Andrews, TX

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

heteroflexible

Style:

New-wave, lots of well-fit suits

Attitude:

Cheerful, smooth, a little more laid back than the situation calls for

Baron von Nocturne, born Barry Moore, has the most ridiculous stage name in the entire band, and that's saying something. Fame hit him hard, because he's also the youngest, and most of his solutions involve cocaine and naked women. He occasionally refers to himself as 'the blondest Jew ever to walk out of Texas', although religion hasn't played much of a part in his life since he left home.

Michael Leary | Lir Fontaine

Birth:

March 24 1962, Flagstaff, AZ

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

heterosexual

Style:

Casual, but clean. Blue jeans and a t-shirt, most often.

Attitude:

Generally confused, but not dismayed. He probably doesn't get the joke, and that's cool, too. He's got his life, you've got yours.

Lir Fontaine, born Michael Leary, is boring white guy, extraordinaire, aside from the part where he plays wicked flamenco guitar. He grew up middle-class, drives a Pinto, and the wild moment of his youth was getting a traffic ticket for speeding. Late in his 30s, he moved in with his girlfriend, Elena, and her two children and their dog, and Barry rags him mercilessly about the white picket fence and 2.5 kids.

Birth:


Pronouns:

she/her

Sexuality:

pansexual

Style:

Bright colours, lots of pockets and pouches, climate-appropriate and easy to move in

Attitude:

Direct, somewhat aggressive, not afraid to joke about anything

She's good with fire, and better with lightning. She's called 'Candles' because she lit an entire chandelier with a single bolt. Candles comes from the Denerim Alienage, and she's been in Kinloch Hold since she was a child.

Cormac Hawke | Mack Kestrel

Birth:

9:03 Dragon

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

pansexual (but aromantic)

Style:

Robes. Seriously, tho, robes. Usually in a style most often seen on Chantry mothers. (Skin-tight trousers and billowy shirts, when he was younger.)

Attitude:

Jovial, confident, casual

Cormac is the eldest of the Hawke siblings, his father's general, his father's replacement in many ways. His speciality is arcane magic which lends him to the role of protector, and he's found many bizarre ways to solve problems with the application of shields and his oldest brother's force magic.

Daylen Amell

Birth:


Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

heteroflexible

Style:

Professional, muted colours, often greens and browns

Attitude:

Ready to embrace whatever life has to offer, even if that involves fighting in the war that appeared on his doorstep. Generally, he's soft-spoken, and doesn't seek out social contact, but he's firm and decisive when he's in an authoritative role.

Daylen is one of the five Amell siblings. Born in Kirkwall, he's the brother of the Hero of Ferelden, and was captured and taken to the Circle at Dairsmuid, while his family was fleeing the Templars.

Gytha

Birth:


Pronouns:

she/her

Sexuality:

demi/bi

Style:

Close-fitting clothing, lots of leather and coarse cloth, heavy work aprons and gloves

Attitude:

Brash, cheerful, and unwilling to take shit from anyone

Gytha comes from a long line of artisans in Orzammar. She's the first of her line to be branded casteless, and it was over some absolute bullshit. Now, she's the same runecrafting stonecarver she was raised to be... but in a dildo shop in Kirkwall.

Valery de Serault

Birth:


Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

pansexual

Style:

regal, but dated. Orlesian court fashion from 30 years ago.

Attitude:

Haughty, snobby, totally self-absorbed

Val's the great-grandson of the Shame of Serault, and would have been the Marquis of Serault, if he hadn't manifested magic and gotten sent to Ferelden. He still behaves as if he's the heir to the marquisate, despite it being held by the sister he never met. He'll bribe his way into anything he can, and what can't be bought can usually be blackmailed. Inseparable from Frick, until the latter's death.

MAGELIGHT CHRONICLES

Magelight is a modern fantasy, in which the faerie kingdoms are real, but rarely interact with humans, and sometimes, humans are born with magic, and wars break out over who will claim or kill them.

Aurelio Merlo | Noctis

Birth:

around 700 AD

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

heteroromantic, demisexual

Style:


Attitude:

Aurelius Merula appears in Venice in the mid-1300s, with no local record of birth or proof of arrival. He is recorded as a married, 30-year-old, Jewish student of medicine, an apprentice of Ilai Zarfati, a man who supposedly worked miracles. Records under this name and minor variations of it persist through most of the plagues of Venice, through a dispute with the Querini family, over a death in his care. Aurčle Merle appears in 1690 in property records near Avernus, on the deed to an olive orchard. The deed passes down to similarly named 'sons', every fifty or sixty years, before becoming the property of Aurelio Merlo. During those centuries, documents can be found of travels across Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, often during periods of war. His travels to regions not in obvious conflict are rare, and one wonders if he was merely on holiday. He apparently maintains addresses in Versailles and Amsterdam, under corporate ownership, though the buildings themselves have been rented out since he acquired them in the late nineteenth century. There are rumours of disappearing doors in both buildings, though the reports are attributed to heavy drink.

Artemisia

Birth:


Pronouns:

she/her, for the moment

Sexuality:

omnisexual

Style:

Very film noir, 'what's a dame like you doing in a place like this?'

Attitude:

Helpful, friendly, fearless, cunning

Artemisia is a flesh golem. She was constructed of fresh corpses, several gallons of blood, and clay. While she currently identifies herself as Aurelio's daughter and secretary, she has also been his son, his brother, his concubine, his bodyguard, and a simple tool for labours that required more strength than her masters had. Her current form is wholly of her own choosing, as Aurelio managed to alter the inscription in her flesh to provide her with free will, as opposed to simply life. Still, she chose to remain by his side, travelling the world to kick ass and take messages.

Athrú mac Garbh | Mocker

Birth:

unknown date, in Midhe

Pronouns:

vary based on form

Sexuality:

omnisexual

Style:

dresses like a turn of the century J-Pop star

Attitude:

mischievous, frivolous, a merry prankster burdened with guilt

Mocker is the child of the genius loci of a particular scenic bit of stone in Midhe and one of the three Queens of Winter. It is, at essence, an ooze, and can take the form of anything it desires, though most of those things have been roughly the size of a man. It's not very good at manufacturing features without a reference, so left to its own devices it looks profoundly artificial and heavily made up. It also cannot speak, but relies upon telepathy to place words, in the correct voice, into the heads of nearby listeners.

Kurt Dunedan | Morningstar

Birth:


Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

yes.

Style:

A lot of leather and heavy-weight fabrics. His taste leans toward clothing it's hard to ruin with blood or labour.

Attitude:

Distrustful, cranky. The only time he relaxes is at home, with his goats.

Morny's a half-redcap, half-sidhe, who was raised in the kennels of the Royal House of Winter. He spent most of his early years being used as a hunting dog, and was a few centuries old before he learned to read. While he now speaks about four languages relatively fluently, he tends to pick the wrong one, just to get people to leave him alone. And yes, he will eat people who annoy him enough.

Emoric

Birth:


Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

gayer than Oscar Wilde

Style:

a blend of mid-18th century, steampunk, and dwarven blacksmith. Brown leather, brass buttons, and brocade.

Attitude:

Excitable, chatty, always in motion even if those motions are precise

Emoric was a clockmaker, by trade, a specialist in springs and gears, who worked on early automata, around the turn of the 19th century. His ghost dresses like a dwarven blacksmith, because he's a fanboy.

Yorath Albion | Yaz

Birth:


Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

Style:

steampunk. a lot of brown leather with brass hardware, welding goggles, leather utilikilt

Attitude:

distrustful, shy, confident in his own work

He's a seven-foot tall albino, with five feet of off-white hair, and therefore impossible to ignore. Depsite this, he usually at least tries to sit in corners and not obstruct the view. Rides a rebuilt 1918 Henderson Model H motorcycle. He stutters upon manifesting any emotion.

Oblivia Kent | Bitty

Birth:


Pronouns:

she/her

Sexuality:

bisexual

Style:

often dressed in dark colours, but not much black, with long multi-layered skirts and short jackets occupying a significant portion of her wardrobe. In cold weather, she swaps between a navy wool greatcoat and a sheepskin cloak

Attitude:

calm, curious, casually in control, flirty, sassy

She's tall, for a woman, probably about 5'7, and usually wears her straight, black hair in simple updos with strange decorations worked in. She drives an old Honda Civic hatchback that Yaz keeps running.

GOLGOTHAN GODS

The gods from a decade-long fully-custom Planescape campaign. The story was of a plane called Golgotha, upon which a wizard had attempted to usurp the powers of the God of Creation, which resulted in that god falling into a millennia-long sleep, and the plane being severed from the rest of the universe, trapping all the extraplanar tourists, some of whom became revered as gods, as centuries passed.

Kafziel

Birth:

unknown

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

demisexual

Style:

He only dresses when he shows up somewhere, usually in some sort of robe or coat.

Attitude:

Mournful, distant, distracted

Kafziel is the Lord of Solitude and Tears on Golgotha. Although he is only a being of the Outer Planes, in the absence of his creator and the Planes of the Dome, the Golgothans have come to worship him as a deity. He is, quite possibly, the most powerful entity in all Golgotha, since the other Golgothan "deities" are from the Planes of the Way, and have only very limited power since their ties to the creator, and to their home planes, were severed. He is uninterested in his powers, though, spending most of his time deep in thought, desperately trying to remember things he knows he has forgotten, chasing the ghosts of memory back through the mists of time, in the hopes of finding the One True God.

Birth:

Pronouns:

she/her

Sexuality:

omnisexual

Style:

Lots of brightly-coloured leather, short skirts, tall boots, hair in unquestionably extraplanar colours, but usually teal. Very 'cute pixie'.

Attitude:

She's here to have fun, and you are her entertainment.

Mihr, the goddess of love, ends battles with a flurry of her arrows. Which… cause the combatants to fall hopelessly in love with the first thing they see. Often, that's whoever is on the other end of a sword, but sometimes it's not. And not everyone is looking back at the person looking at them. Mihr grants eternal love! And it's your problem, now.

Dahak

Birth:

unknown

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:


Style:

Dahak's an exciting loincloths and skirts kind of guy, because he likes to show off his shimmering bronze skin

Attitude:

Dahak, the Lord of Frenzy, god of barbarians, rage, and mass destruction. Once he was a hunter, then a warlord, leading the armies of the plain. Then he went on vacation and got stuck in this shithole plane, and after a good thousand-year sulk, took up convincing the locals to wreak havoc as a form of entertainment.

Iblis

Birth:

unknown

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

Dark colours, slim fits. He's probably wearing armour, and you probably can't tell, because it's integrated so well into his clothing. Most of his clothes are dragon leather and spider silk, and he's particularly fond of spider silk velvet.

Attitude:

Lawful evil, like only a long-time bureacrat can be. He is almost without mercy, and happy to let people hang themselves

Pronouns:

Sexuality:

Style:


Attitude:

When she's happy, she smiles. When she's angry, she smiles. She is terrifying and inscrutable, proud and unyielding. She is lawful, but she is the law.

Memeth is usually a drow or a drider, when she appears to her faithful, but she is the Ever-Changing, the Lady of Resurrections, and her body is her own to shape, as are the bodies of both her followers and her enemies. She's not a goddess you want to upset. She is is foremost a researcher, and secondarily a necromancer. Her work revolves around creating the most peculiar, but viable, creatures possible.

Dinah

Birth:

Pronouns:

Style:

Heavily armoured and carrying an axe, but sometimes in stylish cuts of enchanted leather instead of full plate

Attitude:

She is without mercy. She is without ill-intent. But, the smallest details make all the difference to her, and much of her judgement hangs on things no one else was paying attention to. Obsessive, to say the least.

Dinah, a demigoddess of law, justice, and tyranny, is absolutely of extraplanar origins and she doesn't care if you know it. Her skin is like marble, in pattern and in texture, her eyes are silvery like mercury, and instead of hair, she sports golden feathers.

Voeil, the Lady of Purity and Truth, has a lot of shit going on for a goddess that was never actually used, in game. For one, she's absolutely not a conventionally-attractive human woman, she's an eldritch horror pretending to be one. Only those who find truth see her as she truly is, and not as she appears.

Attitude:

Nakir, the dwarven god of adventure, revelry and chaos. Brother to Monkhar, the dwarven god of crafting, discipline, and the hearth (and absolute Lord of Social Anxiety). While neither is evil, of himself, together they are the neutral evil Lords of the Gift, and one should ask nothing of them.

CANON WITH A TWIST OF LIME

These characters are based on someone else's canon, but so loosely it borders on irrelevant

Joachim Finn | Kim of Bedlam

Birth:

around the turn of the 20th century

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

demisexual, aromantic. Other people are just not that interesting.

Style:

1990s hacker gone corporate. Black suits, bold silks, too many pockets, mirrorshades.

Attitude:

Kimi's a sociopath with a talent for mind control. He doesn't have to know what someone's thinking, or how they feel, to implant the compulsion to do what he wants. Older generations of his family used the power to send people on epic quests, sometimes just for a laugh. While he grew up a reindeer herder, he's more recently the head of a mercenary group.

Chiang Jin Ba | The Devil of Bedlam

Birth:

probably late 60s-early 70s

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

pansexual

Style:

The single most neon raver on the continent -- any continent -- with a strong preference for purple

Attitude:

He's a good time, all the time. Almost fearless, obnoxiously jovial, very sexual, and looking to be underestimated, which usually works.

Chiang Jin Ba is the grandson of a Singaporean pirate queen, whose empire now looks like legitimate business, at least on the surface. He's barred from inheriting for a number of reasons, from being male to not having the unusual powers the family is known for. Instead, he founded a group first known for their hacking skills, and later for their skills as extremely well-informed mercenaries. Somewhere in the 90s, Kim took the group from him, when he started spending more time pursuing the affections of a Lebanese assassin than paying attention to incoming jobs.

Richard Porter, Lord Langley

Birth:

before the Fall

Pronouns:

he/him

Sexuality:

the gayest gay ever to gay

Style:

19th century English, with occasional hard swings into 17th century Mongolian. Has tattoos that can literally make you catch on fire.

Attitude:

Morose, romantic, reckless

Lord Langley was once intended to be the lord of a different Langley Hall -- one on the surface -- but the Fall of London, with him in it, changed everything. He fell in love with a Khaganian diplomat, and shortly after the turn of the century, fled London for Eleutheria, losing his lover on the way. He spent years building the new Hall, having made a deal with the Halved about its nature, and after spending more years shut away in a ballroom, he was reunited with Jochi. The two popped off for a holiday, and neither returned alive, though both returned undead, after the fall of the Sixth City.

Attitude:

Jovial, able to turn almost anything into a good time

Jochi is the son of a Judgement, hatched from an egg floating in the Unterzee. He was once a Khaganian diplomat, involved in negotiations with the powers behind the glass. Dix Porter describes him as 'strange, driven, and uncommonly stubborn', and notes that he dances well. Of course, he also dances like a bee-devil, so ymmv. After being torn apart by a transit relay, he was partially reincarnated as Captain Isaac Avramson. After the second disintegration, he was brought back with some memories Avramson hadn't had.

Ser John is, without exception good. He's usually even lawful! ... often. sort of. He became a Templar because he was sure it was the right thing to do. Now, he's less sure, but leaving the Order is dangerous. Unlike most of the people around him, he doesn't think mages are inherently a threat.

Nerdy, trashy, kind of obnoxious. Can go from art history to dick jokes in half a second or less. In stressful situations, will attempt to take control.

Haven's the closest thing to cisgender non-binary they've ever met, being genetically male, legally female, and lacking the hardware to make a compelling case for either. If they were able to do what they had a degree in, they'd be an elementary teacher, but after an argument with the board about their gender presentation, they've been banned from teaching in any district in the city. Instead, they've had a series of disposable jobs doing phone support, having most recently been fired by the cable company for taking more than three days of bereavement leave for a family funeral. They currently live in an unheated attic that's not up to code as a living space, with a very large, extremely destructive cat.
