Stats:

Str	Dex	MP	Con	Spd
5	5	3	5	4

Personality:
Brash, bold and equipped with the typical Adrilan desire for a battle, Havaird makes an interesting center of attention when abroad. Where the calmed, dignified manner of Elthern nobles and the inherent silver-tongue of Ivelleans often lead to refined and civilised conversation, Havaird possesses a natural ability to spread chaos around himself. He is polite on the rare occasion he meets someone he considers worthy of his respect, but otherwise he won't hold back at all, neither in combat nor conversation.

Weapons: Havaird wields a standard-issue longsword, crafted in Adrila.

Magic affinity: Not yet seen by anyone

Traits and flaws: His brashness, for both. He isn't afraid of saying what must be said, but it's easy for him to earn enemies, despite his mostly friendly nature.

[Berserker]

Name: Darnac Tarcinor
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Occupation: Noble's son
Origins/Residence: Spear Keep
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 72 kg

Stats:

Str	Dex	MP	Con	Spd
5	5	3	3	5

Description:
As a noble, and elder son of the lord of Spear Keep, Darnac has been taught both how to do battle as a knight and how to act in more civilised encounters. He's developed a flair for the latter, in fact; while he certainly is a skilled combatant, his greatest victories have always been won with words. He's more cunning than the average Adrilan, as can only be expected from someone of his standing, and will speak whenever he has an opinion of something or someone. Politeness will come first when he speaks, but occasionally he will sneak in a hidden meaning in his statements, be they to a peasant or a princess.

Weapons:
A long spear, as is the tradition for nobles in Spear Keep.

Magic affinity:
Much akin to the King himself, he perceives exceptionally well; but unlike the king, he perceives the intentions of the spoken word rather than what lies beneath what he can see.

Traits and flaws:
His pride as a noble occasionally comes in his way, forcing him to hold his ground in a conversation. He dislikes this, but feels he must hold up his honour.


Name: Gernic Tarcinor
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Occupation: Noble's son
Origins: Spear Keep
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 70 kg

Stats:

Str	Dex	MP	Con	Spd
4	5	3	3	5

Description:
Where Darnac is the elder and favoured son, Gernic has been much neglected by his father. Instead of training to become a knight, he picked up the longbow and began training as an archer, a rare choice in Adrila. While his father holds little love for him still, as the young man shows little courtesy, he has become somewhat of a local icon among aspiring squires. His archery is not flawless yet, but he is a much better shot than most Adrilans will ever hope of becoming. He occasionally serves with the army as a scout, his latest engagement being alongside Brydon and Helena's forces against the barbarians in the mountains.

Weapons:
A longbow from the Grey Marshes, gifted him on his twentieth birthday, and a shortsword, oddly of Ivellean make.

Magic affinity:
He can, when firing a regular arrow, cause it to leave a shining trail behind it. This serves well both to distract the enemy and to give a pointer to his allies about his location.

Traits and flaws:
His nature is worryingly self-centered, as he cares little for loyalties to country. He will fight alongside those who show kindness to him directly, not to those old laws say he should be loyal to. This gives him both an advantage when it comes to dirty tactics, and a problem when he fights alongside particularly loyal troops, being constantly reminded of how his home cared little for him.
