Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

The dance comes to an end and before Alden can get a word in Kauri is whisking off toward the band. This leaves the High Marshal alone on the dance floor for a few moments though he unmolested in this time, likely due to no one being quite brave enough to ask him for a dance. In some respects, he could be considered one of Isra's most prominent bachelors but that wasn't counting his reputation.
Which likely meant that Kauri was creating all kinds of rumors by dancing with him.
When she finally returns Alden smiles and as the music picks up he wraps an arm around her waist, his free hand taking her's into his grasp once more. The start of any waltz was familiar but as the faster tempo of the song washes over them, the speed and freedom of their movements increase. This was not a waltz to be confined to a simple box step.
Hand in hand, body to body, breaking away, spinning, soaring, and racing across the dance floor. Alden and Kauri moved like oil and water trying to mix, sometimes coming together before being pushed apart. Every movement a counterpoint to the other as in one moment he has her lifted over his, only to have her dipped nearly to the floor in the next breath. They are drawing more eyes now, not because of who he is, but rather because of what they are doing together.

Selene chuckles in response. "Oh, I think I have a few ideas what you mean," she trailed off as she smiled warmly once again. "In my experience, those that perhaps look the most out of place, belong there the most."

Physical Description: She has pale blue hair that is rather jagged and cut short (she cuts her own hair with a knife). Her eyes are a golden color that looks much like lightning ripping across the sky. When her powers are active, it looks like lightning is running through her veins. Her ears are pointed and long. She stands at about 6 foot and her nails are normal unless she is feeling beastly when they can grow into talons. Otherwise, she appears as a normal human. Also... horns.
Clothes and Equipment: It looks as though she is constantly wearing a tattered black cloak, but it is actually her wings folded over her body that are pretty durable against attacks. She wears light armor underneath her wings typically and dresses lightly. Though she is not a fan of dresses and skirts or any clothing that restricts her movement, if it necessary or particularly unique, she can be convinced to wear it. She wields a broad sword in case of emergency but prefers to fight hand to hand.

Amaya looked down at her in surprise. "Really? Wouldn't it be just the opposite because they stick out?" She cocked her head to the side, unsure what that could possibly mean. Wasn't the very fact of being out of place, making you feel excluded from the group? She knew that she'd felt that way more than once.

Selene shook her head. "Would you rather be plain or unique? Dull or exotic? Many would lean towards the latter. I happen to have several individuals.. Similar to yourself in my employ." She gestured to her horns.

"Oh really?" Amaya tilted her head to the side interested. "As... bodyguards? Or, what is it that they would be doing for you?" She asked curiously. She remembered distantly she'd mentioned something about her owning landing and running business. But surely if they were people such as herself that were distinctly... other... they wouldn't be at the front of the house.

Kauri's clothes seem somewhat colorful, sometimes scarce and sometimes superfluous depending on the ever-changing weather of her home. They're always slightly decorative, but sewn and forged with purpose.
She wears small amounts of armor, such as braces, breastplates, and greaves, but they're usually very small and are built more for movement than they are for protection.
She is skilled with a bow and sword, both of which she carries with her consistently. None of her weapons are terribly special, but they're sturdy and well made.

The chimera heard her heart pound in her ears louder than her hooves clopped onto the floor, following Alden's movements not just with practiced fluidity, but a passion achieved from their time spent together. She wasn't just complying with Alden's suggestions within the dance, she followed them as though bewitched, her will taken over by his.
His movements were different now, and she couldn't quite tell why. Instead of thinking about it too hard, she let herself be enraptured by them.
Even in the midst of this experience, Kauri did not deny her surprise or even her happiness. When dipped to the floor, she found a smile on her lips, then a giggle as she looked Alden in the eye. It was all so overwhelming! She couldn't just look at him with such a serious face!

Alden had spent the majority of his life, all of it that he could remember really, training to be a weapon. It was a thought that had occurred to him before when he'd been dancing, that it was not unlike the combat for which he was trained. There was an ebb and a flow, move and countermove, the study of his partner or opponent and the environment he was in. The two were so very similar in so many ways which was likely why many martial traditions included dances of some kind.
When Alden was in the heat of combat when his mind emptied and there was nothing but the rhythm of battle there was a feeling that overcame him. In those moments some might have described the... Warrior? Assassin? Fighter? There was no good term for what he is, save perhaps those words that some might use if they saw him on the battlefield: Force of Nature. And it was in this state of unity, of countless hours of training meshing within instinct combined with preternatural physical abilities that allowed him to move Kauri and himself as he did. As though he was not simply reacting to the music, to the thrumming beat, but as though he were part of it.
The song is slowly winding down, the music coming to a halt, as it does Kauri, finds herself dipped once more. A powerful hand bracing her in the small of the back, the other on her thigh, lifting the leg to bring her in ever lower. Alden's eyes are fixed on her's his breathing coming in long deep draws, the man did not get tired but the exertion had an effect as he was still human. He was still human, perhaps that is why he chose that moment to lean in just a bit further and press his lips to her's letting them linger as the final notes of the song echoes through the hall.

A million thoughts- no, they weren't coherent enough to be thoughts, they were emotions, and they were overwhelming. One of them was hope as Alden pushed his face close, but also a spike of anxiety... or was that excitement? She couldn't tell anymore!
What she did know was that all of these feelings exploded the moment their lips met, drawing her in, magnetizing her. One of her hands sprung up to grab his shoulder, holding him there to her for just a moment more.
As she broke away, she took in a sharp breath, staring at Alden in utter surprise. She chuckled with a smile, then looked around her, where they were, who was watching. Her smile vanished as she was gently lifted upright. Her hand flew to her mouth, and out of sheer will, she nearly blushed.
"That's quite new for you!" she whispered, hiding her grin.

Alden hadn't quite realized what he was doing until he was doing it. This wasn't uncommon when he feel into, for lack of a better, a battle trance. However, to do so and have it end with a kiss was a first and considering that, to his memory, he could not recall ever engaging in a first kiss or many kisses at all he wasn't quite sure how it would go over. Well, he assumed since she kissed him back.
Still, as they straighten he could tell that Kauri was trying to hide something from the crowd, though he was fairly certain that it was a smile not anything bad. "Is it?" He inquires, tone curious as he walks her towards the edge of the dancefloor. "How so?" He wasn't really sure what she meant by that, there had been kisses in his past after all.

"You just haven't been the first one yet," Kauri explained. "To come forward with that sort of thing. I'm surprised. In a good way!"
After all, she had been the first one to confess her feelings, been the first to mention dancing, training, anything that would keep them in close proximity. All up until then, she just wasn't sure if Alden was just as sure about all of it as she was.
Well, she had her answer.

Cocking his head in thought he considers her words, then his past actions both with her and in his previous relationships. She was right, he was rarely the one to engage people in new activities. Perhaps this was part of why he had such trouble forming connections that lasted? He was just so bad at reading other people when it came to their emotions regarding himself that he usually assumed they would just act if that was what they wanted. But perhaps, much like himself, they were unsure of their own feelings.
"Then perhaps I should start being more assertive." Alden muses. He had no trouble acting during combat so applying similar principals to his normal life may work.

Kauri Graves
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 262
Age: 26
Physical Description: Kauri has a complexion so pale that she seems to mimic the glow of the moon. Atop her head stands two long, thin coppery horns that seem unnervingly sharp at their tips.
Her eyes are similar to a cat's with a bright yellow iris and a slit pupil. The fingers on her right hand seem shorter and are fixed with long, sturdy claws most useful for climbing.
---------------------------------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: -----------------------------------------------------------
Kauri's clothes seem somewhat colorful, sometimes scarce and sometimes superfluous depending on the ever-changing weather of her home. They're always slightly decorative, but sewn and forged with purpose.
She wears small amounts of armor, such as braces, breastplates, and greaves, but they're usually very small and are built more for movement than they are for protection.
She is skilled with a bow and sword, both of which she carries with her consistently. None of her weapons are terribly special, but they're sturdy and well made.

The woman cracked a smile. "I'm excited to see what that will be like."
Looking around, Kauri noticed that people were starting to leave. It had been quite a while since they arrived. She knew the Summit would start soon, and that she would have to wait on Alden as he attended. "Well, you have very little time now, don't you? It's time for you to go to the Summit. I'll find some conversation partners while you're gone. You'll have to tell me all about it when you come back!"

"I have my ways of keeping people still interested in my businesses." She said with a smile, dipping herself back. "I have goods people want. Not just in Isra, either. They tend to ignore the peculiarities some of my employees have, in the interest of a mutually prosperous relation."

Amaya Thundra
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 198
Age: 24
Physical Description: She has pale blue hair that is rather jagged and cut short (she cuts her own hair with a knife). Her eyes are a golden color that looks much like lightning ripping across the sky. When her powers are active, it looks like lightning is running through her veins. Her ears are pointed and long. She stands at about 6 foot and her nails are normal unless she is feeling beastly when they can grow into talons. Otherwise, she appears as a normal human. Also... horns.
Clothes and Equipment: It looks as though she is constantly wearing a tattered black cloak, but it is actually her wings folded over her body that are pretty durable against attacks. She wears light armor underneath her wings typically and dresses lightly. Though she is not a fan of dresses and skirts or any clothing that restricts her movement, if it necessary or particularly unique, she can be convinced to wear it. She wields a broad sword in case of emergency but prefers to fight hand to hand.

Amaya looked impressed yet again as she nodded, leaning after Selene, not wanting to accidentally let her slip from her arms or anything of the sort, "People do tend to put aside prejudice if it is in the best interests I've noticed.If only everyone had something particularly useful to offer. then perhaps we would all get along better." Amaya said as she decided to try something she'd seen briefly from the corner of her eye. As they moved across the floor, her grip became more firm as she swept Selene up in a lift with the swell of the music, spinning her about carefully before gently setting her down once more.

Selene smiled, withholding an applause. "What an excellent move, my dear!" She proclaimed jubilantly. She spun Amaya once, chuckling. "If only, if only."

Amaya smiled at her as the swung about to a stop, as the music slowly began to drift off the band ending the song. She took a deep breath before releasing it, a bit of relief surging through her. She'd managed a dance and no one had gotten hurt and no hurricane was brewing as a result. "Thank you for this dance Madam Selene. I enjoyed it." She said honestly, her eyes shining with honest gratitude.

The sable haired woman nodded. “But of course, my dear.” She clasped both of Amaya’s hands. “It was refreshing, to dance with a charming woman such as yourself. I hope to see you in the future. If you ever find yourself in Isra with time to spare, simply seek the Temptation.” She smiled once more, reaching her eyes. “Oh, and before I go, I don’t believe I ever got your name?” She asked, an inkling of curiosity in her voice.

Amaya blinked, before blushing softly as she registered her compliment and realized she had never actually given the kind woman her name. "Oh I am terribly sorry. I tend to forget the most basic of things... MY name is Amaya. Amaya Thundra. It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I promise if I ever do return to Isra I will make a stop there." She said with a sincere smile, giving Selene's hand another gentle squeeze. "I pray you have an enjoyable rest of your evening."
