I think everyone knows the deal with this kind of stuff. Most of it is here for my and your (whoever you may be) betterment in understanding stories and whatnot. If you use it IC without a valid reason (like, your character was told/shown these things) I will probably ignore you. Really, this is just going to serve as an elaboration on Jewell's profile as well as details on NPC characters.


Jewell Ravenlock
Age: 29 (February 2, 2006) This may be off as Jewell doesn't keep track very well of the passing years for the reason that she simply doesn't want to know.
Birthday: February 2
Natural Hair Color: Sky/Caribbean/Aqua Blue
Natural Eye Color: Grey
Usual Height: 5?4?

Lydia Rocks!

Detailed Physical:
Jewell's frame is more delicate than a normal human usually is as she is mostly Fae. Although usually found in general humanoid size, she can shift into smaller forms. The usual form she wears is that of a small humanoid, delicate and mostly lean; yet her body is not without gentle womanly curves. Her muscles are kept well toned from working out. Her skin tends to be generally closer to fair during the winter months, tanning nicely otherwise as she is often out in the sun.

In the night, one might notice that her skin seems to shine...almost glow if she isn't controlling that particular feature. This glowing tendency is more noticeable when she is in her smaller form.

Her skin is generally perfect, visibly free from scars and other blemishes as she uses glamour to cover these up. If anyone is powerful enough or accustomed to using such magics, they may be able to see through her glamoured appearance. If they do they will notice a whole host of scars: one running across her lower stomach from a c-section, one running from beneath her right ear down across her throat to her clavicle, two matching ones that mar the front and back of both shoulders, a wound on the inside of her right leg from a bullet, countless thin cuts along the tops of both arms, a more recent circular cigarette burn on her left arm, and various other very faint scars scattered across her body from wounds in the past. Her lower arms are of a light skin tone than the upper, this lightness extends like the tongues of flames from fingertips to her elbows.

Faerie Abilities/Skills
One of Jewell's main abilities is the use of glamour. Understood as a Faerie's magical ability, glamour works in several different capacities. First, glamour is what allows Jewell to change her size at will as well as her physical appearance in regards to scarring. Jewell can also use this first manifestation of glamour in her over-all appearance as well as the appearance of objects around her. However, this is decidedly difficult for someone as young and untrained as she is and when she does use her talent in this fashion the illusion can be easily broken. Second, glamour is what gives Jewell her "good luck" and allows her to pass this good luck on to others; included in this is the ability to bless newborn children with good fortune. Third, though Jewell does not exercise this particular manifestation of glamour, Jewell could use her magic to make her totally irresistible to a mortal.

Being a water Faerie allows Jewell to control water in its three forms. She can call to it, pulling it out of the very air and forming it into what she desires. She can slow the molecules, causing water to become ice, or speed them up into steam. She is not beyond using water's more destructive side in a fight.

Jewell has the ability to speak with certain animals (mostly those who inhabit water) as well as objects of nature. Her level of skill in this is rudimentary at best.

She can walk silently in the woods or on the cobblestone streets of a city. Her movements lean towards graceful, like a dancer, especially when she is trying to make them so.

Jewell can fly with or without wings. She'll freely admit that it is easier for her to fly with wings. If the occasion arises where she needs to fly, silver wings will extend from her back in a burst of silver dust. The wings themselves are silver with faint blue veins. When her wings do appear they burn two slits in the back of her shirt; to save her wardrobe she'll often wear low-back outfits.

Other Abilities
Jewell can manipulate mana--pure energy. She can do several things with this energy. The attack she most often uses is that of a simple blast of energy either against someone directly or forced out in a circle around her. This can burn someone (as well as Jewell herself if overused) as well as physically push them away from her. Manipulating mana also allows her to heal others to an extent.

Can speak and write a dialect of Elven.

Just as her appearance and size are flexible so is her body. While her acrobatic skills are not that of a gymnast, she can certainly maneuver herself out of many situations.

Although she used to favor using a sword she now relies on smaller knives and blades that she can keep better hidden on her body--in pockets and small holsters. When she does use a sword it is usual a longsword, of Elvish craftsmanship, or (rarely) a Claymore. She has a small variety of weapos in her home, most designed for her.

Amanda Ravenlock

Age: 12 (April 16, 2007)
Birthday: April 16
Natural Hair Color: Black with dark blue highlights
Natural Eye Color: Grey
Height: 4'9"

Detailed Physical Description:
Amanda is taller than Jewell was at her age, her build slightly bigger than that of her mother?s due to her mixed background?saiya-jin, fae, and human. She is as closer to being a spitting image of Jewell than any of the children. Her facial features are the same down to the light spray of freckles that crosses her nose and cheeks during the summer. Her hair is naturally black, like her fathers, with dark blue highlights, evident when the light hits it.

Her skin has that shimmering silver glow of the fae to it, which she can only control to some extent. When she gets angry, or loses her focus, that glow may become noticeable (especially at night). She is able to have wings if she so wishes; they appear silver with strong blue veins when she does ?wear? them, which is very rare. Her ears come to a pronounced point though are not very elongated.

Abilities:
Bother her maternal and paternal heritage has given her great control over mana. She can use it, shape it, bend it with little harm to herself. She not only draws on her own extensive energy store but can manipulate the very ley lines around her. This ability also allows her to heal to a certain extent.

She can fly with or without wings.

From her mother she has inherited control over the element of water. She also has very rudimentary skills in speaking with animals. Her hearing is somewhat superior to humans, her movements are light and graceful like the fey, and she has minimal control over the art of glamour.

She is currently learning swordplay and basic hand-to-hand combat at school. She is taking classes to learn Elvish?her speech being fairly advanced while her writing is poor.

Personality:
A bit more bubbly on a daily basis than her mother, Amanda?s innocent has not been ruined by her life in RhyDin. However, she can be very serious when required and as often proved reliable to her family in difficult situations.

She is nurturing?motherly?to her siblings, especially Moradin, as well as her mother. As the oldest of seven, she is the closest to her mother and has a friendly relationship with her, and often confides in her. Lacking a father figure throughout different times in her life, she depends on her mother and tries to help her out with the younger kids.

She is sometimes a prankster, mischievous and playful. She is not above using her magical abilities to play tricks on others, especially those living in her household.

Other:
Amanda is soul-bonded to her brother Moradin. When he was born, Amanda fused her own life energy to his so that he could live and they have been permanently connected since. As such, if one were to die it is speculated that the other would die as well. Because of this bond, they have a special empathetic understanding of one another and are very protective of each other.

Brian Moradin Ravenlock
Age: 8 (September 25, 2007)
Birthday: September 25
Natural Hair Color: Very dark violet (maroon)
Natural Eye Color: Emerald Green
Height: 3'9"

Miscellaneous:
Jewell?s second child was named after her adopted elder brother (Brian Ravenlock) as well as the man who helped to deliver the child (Moradin Red), an old friend of Jewell?s without whom both mother and son would have probably died. His full name is rarely used; he goes by Moradin.

Detailed Physical:
About average height for a child his age, Moradin has the build of the fey?slight and some have said bordering on sickly. He is the weakest appearing of all the children, his complexion betraying a frailty. His hair is a darker shade of lavender (violet) than Alexander?s used to be, almost maroon, with bright emerald eyes like his father. The general shape of his face is closer to Jewell?s?as mentioned, he looks very fey?and his ears have the slight point that bespeaks his maternal heritage.

Moradin has the ability to bare wings (although he never does).

Abilities:
His abilities lie in the magical; he is not physically adept at much although he is beginning basic sword techniques in school. He can manipulate energy to an unknown degree and he has a great amount of untapped power within. However, he can become quickly fatigued by use of such magic.

He has the ability to control water, like most of his siblings, plus the rudimentary skills in speaking with animals. He walks as softly, silently, as if he were pureblood-fey.

Personality:
Quiet, pensive, he is a ?wall-flower? much like his father. The only two people he really opens up to are his older sister, Amanda, and his father?perhaps his mother, as well, in his father?s absence.

He absorbs himself in books and fantasy, the world around him. He has a sensitive nature, aware of not only the feelings and emotions of people but things?plant life, animals, etc.?around him.

Although he appears quite solemn, he doesn?t lack joy in life. He plays with his siblings?games of epic adventure. He is a loyal. He doesn?t live for confrontation, like his mother and older sister, as he doesn?t feel blood lust like they do. However, he will take his stand and do so adamantly.

He is becoming more social since being away at school.

Other:
Moradin was sole-bonded to his sister, Amanda, at birth. It was her energy that enabled him to live at all. As such, he is irrevocably connected to her. He can be influenced by her moods as well as feel anything that happens to her on some level (these feelings are stronger for him than they are for his sister). It is possible that this can one day turn into a way to communicate telepathically.

Eva Jade Colista-Ravenlock
Age: 6 (December 27, 2007)
Birthday: December 27
Natural Hair Color: White with wisps of blue
Natural Eye Color: White

Miscellaneous:
Eva Jade is the youngest of the three triplets born to Cher Colista and her husband Ramses. Cher killed herself three months after the triplets were born, leaving them on Jewell?s (who she considered her sister) doorstep. Jewell is raising the triplets like they are her own children, telling them of Cher but not yet revealing that she is their real mother. Cher?s father was Poseidon, a god of the sea, and this certainly has left the triplets with an inheritance of a host of abilities that Jewell is still trying to figure out.

Detailed Physical:
It?s clear to anyone that knows Cher that Eva Jade will be the spitting image of her one day. Already short for her age, but not real petite, she will one day have a well-formed, curvaceous body. For now she still has that little girl shape too her?full cheeks and dimpled elbows. Her hair is white with dark blue streaks, falling in soft waves down to her mid back?she refuses to cut it short and often covers it with a hat.

Her eyes are, without a doubt, her most noticeable feature as they are solid white. This leads many to believe that she is blind but this is not the case.

When touched by water she morphs into her mer-form. Her scales, then, are a mixture of a variety of blue and some white.

Abilities:
When in her mer-form she can obviously swim like a fish, breathe under water, etc. In either form she retains the ability to speak to other sea creatures and manipulate water to a certain degree. She is the most magically inclined of the triplets although, as she is still young, most of her abilities are not fully developed. One trick that Jewell is unsure if Eva Jade will develop?as her mother had such a skill?is a magic similar to glamour?s deceptive power.

Personality:
All three of the triplets are without a doubt mischievous. That said, Eva Jade is also very feminine. She likes to play with make up and dress up, to dance before her mirror and blow herself kisses. She sets up elaborate tea parties in which Devyn gladly takes part and she often forces her two blood brothers to play along as well.

Just because she is girly does not mean she doesn?t like getting down and dirty. She will often play rough with her siblings.

She is not abrasive like her mother was (although she is still young) but she does retain that sassiness that was so essential to Cher. She also has that low-key, good humor that Jewell saw so clearly in Gene (Cher?s oldest son, deceased).

Family is the most important thing to her and she is fiercely defensive of all of them, especially her two blood-brothers.

Raven Colista-Ravenlock
Age: 6 (December 27, 2007)
Birthday: December 27
Natural Hair Color: Black with wisps of white
Natural Eye Color: Constantly changing colors except white

Miscallaneous:
Raven is the second of the triplets born to Cher Colista and her husband Ramses. Cher killed herself three months after the triplets were born, leaving them on Jewell?s (who she considered her sister) doorstep. Jewell is raising the triplets like they are her own children, telling them of Cher but not yet revealing that she is their real mother. Cher?s father was Poseidon, a god of the sea, and this certainly has left the triplets with an inheritance of a host of abilities that Jewell is still trying to figure out.

Raven was named in homage to the Ravenlocks, a family that Cher was considered an essential part of.

Detailed Physical:
From Jewell?s perspective, Raven looks heart-breakingly like Gene (Cher?s first son, deceased); he is going to be boyishly handsome. He is close in height to Oz, and therefore taller than Eva Jade, and lean. His hair is black with wisps of white and is kept long enough that it constantly falls into his eyes. His eyes are constantly changing colors, like Cher?s, but rarely turn completely white.

When touched by water she morphs into her mer-form. His scales are a variety of darker blues with some white-silver mixed in.

Abilities:
The least magically inclined of the three, he is still able to swim like a fish and breathe underwater like his siblings. He also can talk to sea-creatures, which he does more than an of the others; he sometimes spends hours on the beach conversing with crabs and seagulls.

Personality:
Although he may not look as much like Cher as Eva he is the most like her in terms of personality. He is completely stubborn and refuses to back down when he gets something stuck in his mind. He is very family-oriented, always trying to be nice to all of his siblings.

He is by far the most mischievous of the three, often leading the others into some trick or other. His current favorite game to play is hiding around corners in the house and trying to surprise everyone as they walk by. It?s obvious, though, when he?s thinking up something because he gets this little lopsided grin on his face.

Oz Colista-Ravenlock
Age:6 (December 27, 2007)
Birthday: December 27
Natural Hair Color: White
Natural Eye Color: Constantly changing every color

Miscallaneous:
Oz is the first of the triplets born to Cher Colista and her husband Ramses. Cher killed herself three months after the triplets were born, leaving them on Jewell?s (who she considered her sister) doorstep. Jewell is raising the triplets like they are her own children, telling them of Cher but not yet revealing that she is their real mother. Cher?s father was Poseidon, a god of the sea, and this certainly has left the triplets with an inheritance of a host of abilities that Jewell is still trying to figure out.

Detailed Physical:
He is taller than both Raven and Eva Jade, and lean. His stark white hair is kept short and spiky, although by the end of the day it?s usually pointing in every which direction. His eyes constantly change color, never resting on one for too long.

When he gets wet, Oz morphs into his mer-form like his siblings do; his fins are covered in pale silver and white scales.

Abilities:
Although magically inclined, Oz rarely uses his abilities. He is a strong swimmer, naturally, and can speak to water-based creatures. He also demonstrates the ability to manipulate water when in his mer-form. He prefers physical training and has taken well to the very basic hand-to-hand fighting techniques Jewell has introduced him to.

Personality:
Oz is the most defensive of the three, setting himself up as the protector of his siblings (especially Eva Jade and Raven). If any problem occurs, he is there to try and mediate it. If someone is picking on someone else, it doesn?t matter who, he?ll step in for them.

Kerrick Alexander Ravenlock
Age: 5 (November 4, 2007)
Birthday: November 4
Natural Hair Color: Light blue hair
Natural Eye Color: Green

Detailed Physical:
Tall for his age, Kerrick obviously takes after his father in build as well for he is not petite like his fey mother although far from too bulky for a young boy. He has his mother?s blue hair, falling in waves to his eyebrows. The rest of his features are, again, like his fathers such as his brilliant, emerald green eyes. The only other features distinctly from his mother are his slightly pointed ears.

He does not look at all like his twin sister, Devyn.

Kerrick, like Moradin, also has the ability to bare wings but does not do so.

Abilities:
Kerrick will be absolutely adept with physical and magical fighting, one day. He has the potential for a strong control over the manipulation of mana (inherited from both his mother and father). He can already do basic tricks with water as well as illusionary tricks with glamour. He can fly with or without his wings, although he is rather clumsy at that. He will also be able to heal, although he has not taken much interest in that ability just yet.

A robust young boy, Kerrick loves to fight physically as well. He is constantly wrestling with his siblings and will be starting basic sword fighting and hand-to-hand techniques soon.

Personality:
Loud, wild, and occasionally crazy, as the youngest of all the boys Kerrick is constantly pushing himself to keep up with them. When he plays, he likes to play rough although he seems to know when to tone it down. A bit of a sore loser, he doesn?t take it well when he gets picked on by his older siblings. Kerrick can also be quiet, almost brooding, at times for no apparent reason; usually, though, he is laughing and goofy.

He?s a little bit of a mamma?s boy, having spent less time with his father, perhaps, than some of his older siblings because of a variety of circumstances (including Jewell?s two year absence from RhyDin when the twins were born).

Devyn Jewell Ravenlock
Age: 5 (November 4, 2007)
Birthday: November 4
Natural Hair Color: Dark Violet
Natural Eye Color: Grey

Detailed Physical:
Shorter than her twin brother, Kerrick, Devyn is still a little on the tall side for a girl her age and will most likely be taller than her mother as an adult (therefore, taking after her father). Her build leans towards fey-ish, lean and petite yet still strong. Her curly hair is dark lavender?like her older brother Moradin?s?and her eyes are grey like her mother?s; Jewell has recently noticed that she bares some resemblance to her half-sister, Cassandra. Fair-skinned, Devyn has little control over her ability to practically glow at night (an inherited fae tendency that is more manifest in her than in her other siblings). She has slightly pointed ears and a smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks.

Abilities:
Devyn has displayed an affinity for her fae-based abilities, particularly water manipulation. She can bend it, shape it, and move it around at will but easily loses her control if her concentration is not completely on the task at hand. She hasn?t even begun to experiment with glamour yet.

Her control over mana and related abilities is thin, so far, and she has expressed little interest in exploring them more at the moment.

With so many brothers in the house, Devyn enjoys physical fighting as well. She can be quite rough when wrestling her brothers and has a problem with keeping her hands to herself.

Personality:
Jewell sums her up perfectly as her spoiled little baby. As the youngest of seven, Devyn is constantly craving attention and doing whatever she can to get it: whine, cry, act up, use her magical abilities. She wants things to go her way or no way at all, is severely trying Jewell?s patience because she constantly fails to listen to her, and revels in being defiant to adults and her older siblings. That being said, she can be very generous when she wants to be and willing to share with others. She is also defensive of her siblings if anyone outside the immediate family (or even her parents) is bothering one of them.
