[Lord Rahl]

Character Name: Deneric Rahl

Nickname (Optional):

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Land of Origin: D'Hara

Appearance (formal and informal clothes as well as height, eye and hair colour, and overall appearance): 5'9 with blue eyes and long blond hair. Normally wears war wizard garb.

Weapon (Optional): An elegant but strong and battle-tested longsword.

Armour (Optional):

Personality: Despite his similar looks to his ancestor Darken Rahl, he is a kind man who tries to do what is best for his people. He closely follows the examples of Richard Rahl, one of his predecessors, though he does not know it.

Form of the gift (Additive and Subtractive, Prophecy, War Wizard, etc.) (Optional): Additive and Subtractive, Prophet

Past or Current Career(s) (Soldier in the D'Haran army, wizard for the Old World, etc.) (Optional): The Lord Rahl

Short History: A well trained and experienced prophet, he found the war wizard garb of an ancestor unknown to him, and has preferred to wear that over his other robes ever since. His father, Daniel Rahl, condoned the "traditional" training of Mord-Sith. Deneric has since put a stop to this. Now Mord-Sith may still be trained, but they must volunteer first, and are never tortured.
Ever since his father died in war ten years ago, Deneric has been the Lord Rahl, and has done his best for the people of D'Hara.

Character Name: Adela Amnell

Nickname (Optional):

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Land of Origin: Aydindril

Appearance (formal and informal clothes as well as height, eye and hair colour, and overall appearance): 5'9, jet-black hair (that's obviously long), moonlight eyes, tan skin. White dress of the Mother Confessor.

Weapon (Optional): Silver dagger.

Armour (Optional):

Personality: Completely rational. All about knowledge and learning stuff. Not very social, and her position as Mother Confessor only strengthens that.

Form of the gift (Additive and Subtractive, Prophecy, War Wizard, etc.) (Optional): Both sides of gift + Confessor powers. Hasn't gone all Con Dar on anyone yet

Past or Current Career(s) (Soldier in the D'Haran army, wizard for the Old World, etc.) (Optional): Confessor of the Midlands. Now the Mother Confessor.

Short History: Adela has lived in Aydindril since birth. She was raised in the Confessor's Palace and spent most of her time at the Keep, learning from the infinite amount of knowledge stored there. Her mother wasn't very special when it came to Confessors, and no one expected a lot from her, so she mostly kept to herself.
Adela's Confessor power is so great that the only known person to match it would be her ancestor, Kahlan Amnell. But Kahlan didn't have both sides of the gift, and Adela is more than efficient in both, having learned everything needed from countless books and helpful gifted.
She's been the Mother Confessor for 6 years.

Character Name: General Alaric

Nickname (Optional): Alaric the Bold

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Land of Origin: D'Hara

Appearance (formal and informal clothes as well as height, eye and hair colour, and overall appearance): 6'2, 220 lbs, short brown hair, blue eyes. Light skin. Solid muscle.

Weapon (Optional): Carries twin battle blades sheathed on his back

Armour (Optional): Dependent on situation

Personality: Wise, strong, ruthless when defending what he believes.

Form of the gift (Additive and Subtractive, Prophecy, War Wizard, etc.) (Optional): Gifted. But does not know it.

Past or Current Career(s) (Soldier in the D'Haran army, wizard for the Old World, etc.) (Optional): Former Commander General of the First File. Leader of the Free Peoples of D'Hara.

Short History: Born to a great general of D'Hara. When his mother was pregnant, a prophet told his father that his child was destined to be a great leader. He named him Alaric (Ruler of Men). His fathers ambitions and expectations grew more demanding and insane. Beginning at a young age, he sent his son to train with the best warriors and strategists in the world. Under the influence of his father, Alaric spent time with the Baka Ban Mana, D'Haran special forces, and perhaps the most sadistic: The general convinced a Mord-Sith to train him in ways of torture and endurance of pain. He flew through the ranks of the D'Haran army becoming Commander General of the first file.

He served loyally. But grew tired of politics. He saw the world around him collapsing and believed the Lord Rahl refused to act. D'Hara should bring order. He knew what he had to do. The prophet said he would be a great leader. Perhaps he meant ruler. He would bring the world together by force if necessary. But first he had to bring D'Hara under his control.

[Lord Rahl]

Character name: Aleister Brighton

Nickname: "Hey you, be quiet" A lot of people call him that...

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Land of Origin: Westland

Appearance: Tall, nearly six and a half feet; thin, but with powerful legs. Fair skin, dirty blond hair of moderately short length, hazel eyes that can be quite unsettling. Normally wears dark wool trousers and tunic, black boots, and gray cloak. Quite handsome, really, and harmless looking, but obviously dangerous on a visceral level.

Weapons: When he resorts to hand-to-hand combat, an ancient dacra he found on an old battlefield in conjunction with a simple, light hand-axe present a genuine threat.

Armor: Wears leather undershirt that can turn a knife, but no real armor.

Personality: Kind, but refuses to be so cruel as to coddle. Very intelligent, but open to new possibilities. Easily angered, but not obvious about it, which can make it lethal. Cheerful, and quite optimistic. Loves life, but has no fear of death. Socially awkward, but very persuasive. Contradictory, but not a contradiction.

Form of the Gift: A very strange anomaly: he possesses only one side of the Gift, but not the Additive.
He was born with only the Subtractive Gift, along with prophetic ability. He has had no formal training with his gift, but has picked up impressive amount of knowledge of application of Subtractive magic, in conjunction with his own ideas and techniques. Inventive and quick-witted, he can be devious with his already considerable strength in his side. Possibly the Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander of Subtractive magic. Has discovered also numerous applications of Subtractive in healing.

Past or Current Career(s): With some training from his Uncle in herbalism, and after some time spent with the Raug'Moss, he is a talented healer despite his lack of Additive magic. In truth, Subtractive has the potential to eliminate otherwise incurable infections, like the plague. He is a competent woodsman.

Short History: Before his entrapment in the People's Palace, Panis Rahl treated many women in the Midlands in a similar manner his son would treat Erilyn Zorander. One of these women bore a child from the violation, and she and her husband raised Willem alongside his half-brother Cecil, in complete ignorance of his heritage, as he showed no signs of the Gift, and the same held true about his son Cornelius. After the war with the Imperial Order, during which Cecil's daughter Nadine was murdered, Cornelius married and had children, and from them onward, no child showed signs of the Gift...Until Aleister, generations later, told his parents about how he could make things disappear with that chilly feeling in his heart...

Two years later he was assigned to a group escorting a wizard to Winstead, and on that trip he learned his secret, he was immune to magic. The wizard decided to take advantage of this and brought him to Aydindril with him to use as an assassin to kill enemy gifted.

Alice Brandstone

Nickname: Herald of Death

Age: Eighteen

Gender: Female

Land of Origin: Aydindril, The Midlands

Appearance: Dark brown hair down to her jawline, piercing brown eyes, fair skin. About five and a half feet tall, she is not large, but she is slender and athletic. Quite attractive, but many men are put off by her independent nature, among other things. Prefers a simple tunic and leggings, but circumstances often force her to wear dresses.

Weapon: The Sword of Truth is her tool, but it is she that is the true weapon. She also carries several knives.

Armor: A well placed threat or comment.

Personality: A true Seeker of Truth, she has always wanted answers to her questions, in one form or other. She has a compassionate heart, but a very strong temper. Highly perceptive. Possesses a very dry sense of humor.

Form of the Gift: Does not truly have the Gift, but the spark of both sides within her is strong enough to allow her greater use of the Sword of Truth than all but one of the past Seekers.

Past or Current Career(s): Raised and trained by her father, a noted Keep warden. Her father thought that such an ugly child needed to be taught to defend herself.

Short History: Not much is known about the circumstances that led to the previous First Wizard naming her the Seeker. Very few people even know that a Seeker has even been named at all, much less that it is that young woman scowling at you for being so nosy.

She demanded she be allowed to take Collin to the Wizard's Keep in Aydindril. Before they could respond, a man marched into the small house and killed the Sister. He told Collin and his parents that the Sisters were evil and that he would train Collin himself. He did as he promised, but he also instilled into Collin his hunger for power. As a "thank you" for his years of training, Collin killed him on his 24th birthday, and used his spirit and gift to make his power amplifying staff Odin.

[The Great Wizard]

Character Name: Seven Magdalene

Nickname (Optional): Maggie, although she gets extremely prickly when one says that. There is a nine out of ten chance that she would reduce you into ashes if you call her by that alias.

Age: She is actually thirty years of age, but she appears no older than thirteen.

Gender: Female

Land of Origin: Agaden Reach

Appearance: Seven appears to be a child, with a frail frame as delicate as a feather. She is breathtakingly beautiful for her age, with gorgeous curls of blonde hair reaching down to her waist and amber eyes that seem to be gold when struck by sunlight. Her almost-white skin seems to shimmer softly when in the sun, making her look like a young spirit in the flesh.

Weapon: Her powers as a witch woman

Armour: Seven wears no armor, only a diaphanous, speckled brown dress that seems to lift ever so slightly as if in a breeze

Personality: Seven is childish to an extent that she plays ball with her goat, Mina. Like most children, she loves pets--but she considers them friends. She is friendly to people who become lost in her forest, except to those who seek to harm her or others. However, Seven tends to cause massive-scale 'unpleasantness' whenever one calls her Maggie. When it comes to her 'business with the future,' she is very serious in accomplishing her goals.

Form of the gift: The gift of an extremely strong witch woman. Among her considerable talents are: tactile illusions (like when Shota conjures a Zedd and make herself look like the mothers of people), limited power of healing (oh yes, she can heal like what Shota did to Chase), clairsentience (the ability to see the history of a thing by touching it), bewitch people who are in her home and those she speaks to, the ability to harm people with their own power as long as it is strong enough for her to 'bend back,' and claircognizance (acquiring information about the future, past and present without a physical explanation).

Past or Current Career(s): The Witch Woman currently occupying Agaden Reach, and killer of evil people stupid enough to trespass her territory.

Short History: Seven is the youngest daughter of a witch woman descended from the witch woman Shota. Being the seventh child, she is special to her now deceased mother. Her six older sisters had been furious of her and so tried to kill her. She and her mother eliminated them, but it cost the latter's life. A red dragon serves her in exchange for allowing them to live in her abundant forest and valley.

Other: She owns a white goat, Mina, who has been her constant companion for the past four years. The red dragon Firebreath serves her, but is not necessarily her slave. The sentient creature follows her because Seven grants his family a safe haven full of animals to hunt and, sometimes, evil people. Besides, Firebreath takes pleasure in serving her.

Tessa is a Mord-sith.

Short History:
Tessa was 'recruited' to be trained as a Mord-Sith at the age of 10. The training was brutal but she managed to hold onto a bit of herself despite it. She served Lord Deneric Rahl for most of her life, but when she turned 30 she left his service. Tessa traveled to a small town near the Peoples palace and bought an inn. But the thing is once a Mord-Sith always a Mord-Sith, and when the bond went cold a chill ran up her spine, she grabbed her Agiel and went on a quest to help Lord Rahl.

Character Name: Sariah Risan

Nickname: Mistress Sariah

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Land of Origin: D'hara

Appearance (formal and informal clothes as well as height, eye and hair colour, and overall appearance): Five feet ten inches tall. Bright green eyes, waist length blonde hair done up in a traditional single braid. Most often seen wearing her skin tight leather of brown or red depending on her mood. Also has a small collection of dresses in varying shades or red and pink.

Weapon (Optional): Agiel

Armour (Optional): Presumably the leather outfit she wears would provide some protection.

Personality: Somewhat cold and distant most of the time. Has a very morbid sense of humor, and is prone to random bouts of rhyming.

Form of the gift (Additive and Subtractive, Prophecy, War Wizard, etc.) (Optional): Mildly gifted in both additive and subtractive on top of the powers bestowed upon her as Mord Sith (Withstand pain, capture the gifted)

Past or Current Career(s) (Soldier in the D'Haran army, wizard for the Old World, etc.) (Optional): "I am Mord Sith. That is all I have been, and all I will be."

Short History: In contrast to the morality of the rule in D'hara over the past few generations, the training of Mord Sith has continued. Taken in as an experiment by an older Mord Sith who often wondered if a gifted Mord Sith would have more control over her captive's powers than normal, Sarah's training was as harsh as any would expect. Taken in secret, and trained in her gift as well as the twisted arts required by her new station, Sariah proved the old saying that the greatest cruelty is born from the greatest kindness to be very true. Cut off from the People's palace by the growing conflict within D'hara, Sariah has yet to be formally presented to the new Lord Rahl despite having completed her training.
