SHARD
WAYS WITH WORLDS



WEST OF A DEN
During the great gather that saw many would-be novos mingling and seeking out new homes, a few were drawn to the Healing Den and other related homes... whether by portal and coincidence, or of their own free will... there was something about each of these candidates that drew their hearts Den-ward.

Character Name: Kevesee Challi

Gender: Female

Species: Humanoid (Vampire heritage ohhhh)

Appearance: Warm, olive skin that carries a faintly opalescent sheen under moonlight. Dark green eyes. Hair is coppery. Kevesee can shapeshift to gain wings of the batty sort. She is an nth generation vampire: she can survive in the sun for an hour or so but it is extremely uncomfortable. She can stomach real food, but it does not provide enough nutrition by itself. Blood (dragon and humanoid) will sustain her for a week at a time.

Personality: Droll, Generous, Steadfast

Notes: Fourth of four Humanoid descendents of cross-species ancestors from Nidus Novalux.

From Trix

Link: Icarus Wanderers

Name: Roderick (R'ick)

Species: Pernese Human

Gender: Male

Appearance: image made with Portrait Workshop

Personality: A bit dull and dutiful, Roderick won't be inventing new stuff though he secretly dreams of this. He is however very adept at following recipes left by others. He is very precise and dedicated to his studies.

Short Bio: Roderick grew up in a large traditional hold. He never dreamed of impressing a dragon or getting searched. Instead he happily apprenticed to one of the local vinters (he lives on the Southern Hemisphere). While tending to the grapes, a dragon flew by and sensed his potential (that wine is precious stuff, it makes riders very happy so having one who knows how to brew it at the weyr is important!)

Pet: Blue Firelizard Stormy (m)

Notes: Of course headed for a Pernese Weyr

From Trix

Link: Icarus Wanderers

Name: Maeve

Species: Human

Gender: Female

Appearance: image made with Portrait Workshop

Personality: Maeve is a whimsical woman who likes to look good. She acts sultry and seductive, like she is not very smart. She however has a knack for reading others and will use that sensitivity to get what she wants.

Short Bio: Maeve's behaviour hides a wounded soul. She always felt subpar and was only praised for her looks. Which is why she clings to her feminity so hard. She grew up in Eritan village on Lantessama Isle and has no desire to remain there.

Notes: Wants to go somewhere a little more advanced (preferably with great amenities)

From Phoenix

Link: Sanctum Dream Chaos Cats

Character Name: Exa

Species: Chaos Cat

Gender: Female

Appearance: Image by Phe

Abilities: Elemental Affinity (Can create and manipulate small amounts of earth.), Chaos Entity (No matter their innate element, chaos cats are creatures of change and unpredictability. This manifests in small ways, such as the ability to suddenly appear in unexpected places.)

Personality: Your classic sweet ol' grandma archetype, now a cat. Old, wise, motherly, but still perfectly spry and ready to play tricks!

Notes: Hailing from the Sanctum Dream (http://www.nexusofdragons.com/xenoqueen/Chars/SanctumDream/), dimension of the Chaos God Aki. They are under no expectations to return but Aki hopes they'll "write home" on occasion and keep her updated on interesting worlds and happenings! They are a candidate/character species and not breedable.

Name: Jairen

Species: Mixed Human

Gender: Male

Appearance: Jairen is a pretty man. Shortly cropped hair, gray green eyes and pale skin that is surprisingly thick (both literally and figuratively), he is usually dressed in simple layered clothing that are sneakily high quality, when he is not dressed in stark white clothing meant for the kitchens.

Personality: Jairen is sweet, playful, and flirtatious. He makes people feel at ease when they are around him, and he loves nothing more than to make people happy with his food. When he is not working in the kitchens at the council, he can often be found travelling he world looking for inspiration and new ingredients. Jairen gets along very well with the Projects. Particularly Whistle, the horticulturalist who helps him grow rare ingredients not native to the Vella Crean.

Notes: Jairen is a master chef who cooks for the Empress. Right now he is travelling the world, and he doesn’t really have any plans to return for at least some time. He is considered human, but his family tree has enough unusual and exciting additions that no one is quite sure what he is.

From Bughnrahk

Link: Planet Zar

Name: Cottolis Dreamsleep

Species: Mothkin

Gender: Male

Age: Late Adolescence (17-ish)

Height: 4'2"

Occupation: Bard

Appearance: (image made with Gumroad)

Personality: serene - perfectionist - falls in and out of love easily - fascinated by death

Story Bits: Childhood friends with Junipher Sparkwing.

Junipher and Cottolis hail from a silkpunk fantasy world, who left their home together as part of a coming of age pilgrimage. (They aren't required to stay together, of course!)

While his friend Junipher has a knack for instruments, Cottolis' strong suit lies in poetry and tales. He's eloquent and loquacious, but is stubbornly perfectionist about his work. He hates sharing anything that isn't 100% up to snuff.

Although young, Cottolis is a romantic at heart. He loves wooing pretty lads and lasses with his poems. He falls in love quickly and deeply, but the spark burns as fast as candle flame.

Cottolis really enjoys being out and about in the Nexus. He's unlikely to want to return home when his pilgrimage is over.

He finds the idea of bonding a dragon highly romantic and will likely pick clutches to stand at based solely on how he feels about them.
