Appearance: Refer to picture (height: 5'9, weight: 140 lbs)
Personality: Meinz is very much like Cierne but multiplied by ten. She’s stubborn, roguish, and has an affinity for dark pleasures. She’s persuasive, passionate and loyal to those she finds worthy. It can be said that she’s addicted to sexual gratification, seeing as how when she manifests herself into a physical state, her craving for touch is for something worthwhile (she isn’t experienced enough to materialize into a tangible form very often and for very long). Meinz is clever and has a sharp tongue which can get her in trouble sometimes. She can be blunt and careless of others’ opinions and emotions, but she’s supportive and realistic which are important traits to have in a friend.
History of Death: From what Cierne knows, Meinz died by the sun. Quite literally, the tattoos that protected her when she was in her shadow form had become damaged and once the light hit her she began to dissipate until she died leaving the only reminder that she had ever existed being her blackened bones.
Anchor: Cierne didn’t know Meinz when she was alive. She came to know her by being haunted by her. Cierne is the anchor that allows Meinz to exist as a ghost from the Beneath. It was after Cierne had been initiated into empathy that she showed up. Her appearance had something to do with Cierne’s newly acquired awareness of her emotions and the emotions of others. Because they are of the same race, come from the same place and share a similar outlook on life, it isn’t entirely strange that they came to meet. Cierne had been lying to herself for a long time, telling herself that her upbringing was normal, that her troubles couldn’t be changed so there was no use trying to fix them. Perhaps Meinz recognized herself in Cierne and grew attached to the girl. Perhaps they were linked in other ways that were unbeknownst to either of them. All Cierne knows is that Meinz appeared one night when she was crying over the realization of just how abnormal she was. Meinz told her to buck up, ‘I’m haunting you now so we might as well be friends’ and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Name: Diaval Nogh
Race: Biqaj
Date of Birth: 2nd of Zi'da, 698
Age: 22
Skills: Glassblowing 30/100
Discipline 10/100
Linguistics 10/100
Storytelling 30/100
Navigation 20/100
Appearance: Refer to picture (height: 5'9, weight: 160 lbs; pointed ears, eyes that change colour which shall be fleshed out IC as Cierne progresses her relationship with him)
Personality: Diaval is a free spirit at heart, though he likes to pretend he's tough to the core. He comes from a loving family who are also free-spirited, given the nature of their race. The way he was raised has made Diaval out to be a crafty, curious and passionate individual with an ache for self-exploration. He feels he always needs to be better than he is. Perhaps this need is why he finds attraction in Cierne. She's always steadfast in her beliefs and portrays a confidence visage about herself and she's always giving Diaval the tough love he feels he deserves in order to strive for self betterment. He is very adaptive and can easily find the silver light in the darkest of situations (something Cierne both loves and is annoyed by at times). Diaval likes to think of himself as a flirt, but he is not seducing anyone anytime soon, often falling prey to awkwardness. He is very creative and has taken up the trade of glassblowing, something his father had introduced to him as a child. He is also very imaginative and can weave intricate stories about fantastic beasts and otherworldly maidens.

Biography: Everton is a human man who came out of the rubble with nothing more than an inkling of inspiration and a whole lot of faith. His father taught him magic when he was on the brim of adulthood (he was often more nature than those his age and took the calling with utmost seriousness), claiming that the relationship he had with the arcane would assuage the struggles they had with everything else. He and his family were poor, but held dearly to magic as a means of survival. The spark within Everton gave him the positive outlook he needed in order to leave his family not long after he had come of age and seek work in other places. He traveled frequently, picking up odd jobs here and there until finding himself a mentor who showed him the ropes of self-sufficiency and self-exploration (along with the discipline of graft). It was through this mentor that Everton found his calling: he had a passion for people that was unrivaled by anyone else his mentor had yet to know. Unfortunately, his mentor died shortly after Everton's initiation into graft. After his death, Everton had been left with his mentor's money and possessions and took it upon himself to create a "wayward home for troubled youths". (Not an official location by any means, but a source of hope if you talk to the right people or have been taken under his wing. It would be his most cherished offspring, an outlet for his passion. After he had established this home, he began to find young individuals who were in need of guidance. This included, but was not limited to, food, shelter, education, and an overall state of well being. One thing that was missing, however, was that perfect individual to which he was seeking to share his magical wisdom. That was until he found Cierne.

Relationship to PC: While travelling in search of new younglings to bring into his home, Everton came across Cierne who was a slave at the time in Athart. He saw himself in her- a troubled individual who had lost their way but still had a residual spark of hope left within their aching body. He took it upon himself to free Cierne from her shackles and transported her back to his home, a place where he raised troubled youths. What he saw in her was a challenge. She was so quick to judge, had lost so much, and hated authority of any kind. But it was the wild spirit beneath all her negative traits that cried out to him. He gave her the tough love she needed and she gave him the challenge he needed in order to feel like his purpose on the planet was not in vain. They grew on each other, reminded each other of things they had long since forgotten. While Everton had raised others, Cierne seemed more like his own child than anyone else. Their bond was unique and it only grew as time progressed. He came to realise one afternoon just how much she had changed since his first meeting her. But also, he had come to realise just how much he had changed as well. It was this realization that prompted him to introduce her into magic. Her curiosity, her desire to learn and her perpetual loneliness gave him the opportunity to initiate her into empathy. His hopes were to open her world up to more possibilities including that of self-exploration, and self forgiveness. He knew she didn't have her head on entirely straight, but he knew that this newfound responsibility would give her the push she needed in order to continue to find her own way.
