Age: Uhh.. lost count?
Physical Description: Generally referred to as tiny and adorable, Eloria is 4'10" tall and petite. Although she appears to be barely into her teens, her purple-pink eyes have a wisdom and age about them surprising for one seemingly so young. Her hair, which falls to her knees when it's not bound up into its usual ponytail, is a pale shade of purplish-pink. Her skin is lightly-tanned due to lots of time outdoors, and she has no visible scars, or any defining physical characteristics, aside from her finely-formed, adorable facial features. This is excluding the line of intricate magical tattoos down her back, which are forged directly into her spirit, allowing her constant access to the summon spirits she's made pacts with - all ten of them.
------------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Eloria wears a very.. definitive outfit. On her lower half, she wears a pair of voluminous bright pink pants, tucked into white-and-purple ankle-high boots. On her tap half, she wears a purple, midriff-baring strapless top, on top of which is a white short-sleeved vest with long tails and purple edging. Accessory-wise, she wears a purple belt over her vest, a green bright green scarf knotted around her neck, two long gloves of pale purple, a single purple sphere dangling from her left ear, and two thick bracelets - a golden one around her right wrist, and a turquoise one around her left. The bracelets and earring aren't just for show; they're inlaid with strong enchantments. Additionally, she carries a broom.. that flies, and also is apparently at least semi-sentient, as she speaks to it.

"Okay! Thanks anyway!" Eloria followed Vigil out of the room, then eventually left the Enclave's tower entirely, mounting her broom and flying off into the city.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

For the next stop on their tour, Madame Naoki leads Alden Marshal, his children, and Thaelyn Mortris to the Enclave Tower. Surpassed in height only by the titular “The Tower” which houses Isra’s military offices, The Enclave serves not only as home to many of the mages employed in service of the state, but also as their halls of study, their repositories of knowledge, and place of work. The entry hall of The Enclave is much like the foyer of a library, in that is a large, tall-ceilinged room whose walls are covered in bookcases and shelves. Directly ahead upon entering through the tall double doors, one would find a sort of reception desk, though it isn’t tooled for reception as much as it is for assisting young acolytes in finding what resources they require. And indeed, there are a handful of relatively young individuals- presumably acolytes, standing at the desk, consulting their more veteran peers. One of them, a woman of apparently perhaps forty, makes a beckoning motion, and in response, a particular scroll dislodges itself from a bookcase some thirty feet overhead and floats its way down into her hand. She, in turn, hands it to the young man before her, who was presumably looking for it. All around, such casual displays of magic are practiced in such number and with such a blase attitude, lending a somewhat surreal factor to it. However, Naoki doesn’t seem particularly impressed as she leads her group into the room, and off into a small area to one side of the main thoroughfare where they ought not to be in anyone’s way. In fact, if anything, she seems vaguely smug, for whatever reason. After the entirety of her group is assembled and all tails are accounted for, Naoki begins with a sweeping gesture, “ This, is The Enclave- or The Conjunction if you’d prefer. It is the seat of magical power in Isra, where many of Isra’s most talented magic users make their home and do their studies.”
Here, she stops to gauge initial reactions and ponder for a moment how best to proceed.

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420 
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.

Moon Moon and Juney, and to a lesser extent Caleb and Kae look around the room in wide-eyed wonder. The books are ignored, but the open displays of magic are met with gasps of delight. Juney struggles down from her fathers arm to rush over to a mage using light magic, well Caleb and Kae go to pester a mage throwing around fire. Moon Moon gravitates towards a mage who making a plant grow quickly. This all happens before Alden can corral them to stay close and he goes off to get his children under control.
Little Naokithough very curious about the magic, is far more interested in the books. She can tell that the books are magical tombs that will show her how to cast magic. She tries to wiggle free of Naoki to run off to the nearest book shelf, eager to start reading. Rawr Raw by contrast continues to slumber in Thaelyn's arms quite content.

Slight curves and a womanly shape keep her from looking boyish, if only barely. She has long red hair that falls to her knees, and rich crimson eyes that are usually filled with curiosity, set in a face with delicate features.
-------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Thaelyn wears a set of white and blood red armor which is inscribed inside with a complex series of magical runes. This provides her armor with a strength that belies its lightness, as well as serving as a sort of magical buffer that wards off most spells. She also carries a spear, or perhaps it's a staff - she seems to use it as a combination of both, using it both to fight and to channel her own magical abilities.

For a moment, Naoki attempts to stop the children from running about every which way, holding Little Naoki on her shoulders Truthfully, her first impressions of The Enclave have stuck, and as such, she still sort of considers the whole group of them to be cranky, aggressive sorts, liable to scold children just as they scolded her.
But then Naoki realizes for the second time that they can’t talk back to her anymore. Upon this realization, she abruptly ceases all efforts and deposits Little Naoki on the floor, chuckling to herself. Is it petty of her to unleash The Children on The Enclave for the behavior of two individuals years ago? Perhaps.
Perhaps.
But that’s not stopping her. She only offers the tidbit, “Don’t break anything,” before leaning back against a conveniently placed bookshelf with a smug sort of smirk.

Vigil floats over, the other magi weren't busy with anything dangerous right now, fortunately.
"High Lady Naoki, greetings. What brings children with you today?" This may be Vigil's first meeting with Naoki in person, since he spends all of his time in the tower. He would greet Naoki's entourage as well with a bow.
Vigil liked children, as he himself was a child not long ago. He sees the children similarly to his wisp siblings.

Normally a floating person would have gotten the attention of every single one of Alden's children. Today thought there was simply too much else going on and they continue to run this way and that to see every new sight. Exactly one young mage gets a look in his eye when Moon Moon approaches him, it said that he was quite annoyed to find a child interrupting him. Before he can speak though the mage senses eyes upon him and he looks up to find The High Marshal smiling at him. The mage turns pale as a ghost and he realizes just whose kid he'd been about to tell off. Alden was well known by most in the city at this point, even if someone didn't know his face they knew his reputation. The young mage wisely decided it was best to be very kind to Moon Moon.

Thaelyn bit back a giggle, instead snorting softly in amusement, as she saw the mage react so strongly to realizing who the father of these children was. Then her attention drifted to the.. floating person nearby, and she quirked a brow. Interesting. She said nothing, however, simply continuing to cradle a sleeping Rawr Rawr.. okay maybe she reached out and flipped open the page of a nearby book to gaze curiously at its contents. She might not practice magic professionally anymore, but she was still a mage, and she was always interested in learning new things.

“I’m giving them a tour,” she states, somewhat matter-of-factly.
Evidently, Naoki doesn’t feel the need to explain herself further to Vigil as she turns to observe the children as they spread about the room. Whether she observes out of concern for the children or simply for the amusement of watching the Enclave mages deal with them is left unanswered, but one may be able to make inferences based on how the corners of her mouth tilt upward.
Apparently not opposed to allowing the mages to entertain the children for a while, Naoki addresses a question sidelong to Alden, “What plans do you have for their continued education?”

Alden's gaze never strays from his children as he watches to make sure nothing untoward happens to them. He isn't too worried after all, the mages were all responsible adults, responsible adults who knew what would happen to them if one hair was out of place on his children's heads. He answers Naoki's question looking slightly distracted, but not sounding it. "Tutors, best I can afford. Whatever they want to study once they are old enough. I want them to be whatever they wish, I want them to have every choice I didn't." His voice is low quiet and intense something hard in his eyes. His children would grow up to happy, healthy, and normal. Anyone or anything that got in the way of that would live just long enough to regret it.

Thaelyn's gaze immediately turned to Alden as she heard him speak. Specifically, as she heard the tone of his voice. She quickly crossed to stand beside her lover, sliding her arm around his waist and leaning her cheek against his shoulder. It bothered her when Alden got that darkness to him, and she always did her best to drive it away whenever she could.. as much as she could. It would never entirely leave him, she knew, but she did everything within her power to make him forget it, at least for a while.

Nodding slowly, Naoki hums a sort of “Mmmm,” noise, intending to express acknowledgment and agreement. Beyond simply wanting the best for his children, he wants them to have it better than he did, and that’s very admirable, she thinks.
Standing there silently, Naoki ruminates for a few moments on her own parental challenges, and how she really probably should have found a tutor or five for Skarlet a long time ago. She and Alden both could do with a parent partner, neither of them really have the time to dedicate. But then… perhaps that’s what Ms. Mortis is to become, Naoki muses as she turns to glance in the woman’s direction.
She certainly does seem like an excellent fit for such a job, Naoki thinks. Hell, she’s probably already playing a fairly major role in the children's lives, even if not in name as a ‘parent’. Still, it doesn’t seem the time to be asking after such things directly, so after a fair pause, Naoki launches another inquiry in Alden’s direction.
“And what of yourself? How are you doing in terms of goals, aspirations, and such? Do you have anything in particular in mind, or just more of the same as the children grow?”

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.

Alden stiffens slightly when he feels Thaelyn's unexpected touch, but then he relaxes and leans into her. It was good to have someone to rely on and he reaches a hand over to gently rub up against the sleep Rawr Rawr's cheek. The little boy stirs and makes a noise, but then buries his face more deeply into Thaelyn's shoulder. Alden got the distinct impression that his son was awake, but didn't want to be let go just yet.
Naoki's question is met with a shrug. "I haven't given it much thought. I hold more power than I ever wanted, have more happiness in my life than I thought possible, and feel better than I deserve. What else is there for me to accomplish? For now I want to focus on my children." The answer is simple and straight forward, there was no other kind of answer from the high marshal.

Thaelyn Mortris
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 310
Age: 22
Physical Description: At 5'7", Thaelyn is just above average height for a woman, with a slender build that makes her just shy of willowy. Slight curves and a womanly shape keep her from looking boyish, if only barely. She has long red hair that falls to her knees, and rich crimson eyes that are usually filled with curiosity, set in a face with delicate features.
-------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Thaelyn wears a set of white and blood red armor which is inscribed inside with a complex series of magical runes. This provides her armor with a strength that belies its lightness, as well as serving as a sort of magical buffer that wards off most spells. She also carries a spear, or perhaps it's a staff - she seems to use it as a combination of both, using it both to fight and to channel her own magical abilities.

Thaelyn smiled as she felt Alden relax, and chuckled as Rawr Rawr nuzzled into her, gently rubbing Alden's back as she listened to him speak. He was such a good father.. and a good man.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

“Mmmh.” More murmurs of acknowledgment.
“Perhaps you should, though. The moment you stop considering your long-term future, you resign yourself to short-term planning, and fate.” The last word is intoned with what could easily be interpreted as disgust. Afterward however, she offers a slight shrug, intending to suffix the whole line of questioning with a relaxed sort of air, and not make it seem as if she was going anywhere in particular with it.
Standing there to one side, leaning against a bookcase, Naoki muses that it would be alright if Alden or Thaelyn had something in particular to say. But Alden is a quiet sort, and Thaelyn sort of has a sleeping child on her chest, she supposes. In any case, it’s somewhat amusing to watch Little Naoki with her face buried in a book that’s almost larger than she is. Idly, Naoki wonders if the girl, for all of her interest in the topic, has any amount of latent magical capability, or if the similarities between the pair of them continue as far as that.
Pondering such idle thoughts, Naoki resolves to stand by silently until such a point that either Alden or Thaelyn has something to say to her, one of the children does something that would require action on her part, or it seems to be time to leave.
Though, Little Naoki would probably stay in here forever, if she was allowed to. Heh.

Alden just shrugs his shoulders at this, he had never had a long-term plan. The closest thing he had to one now was raising his children. Perhaps Naoki was right and he should have greater concern for his own future, but he didn't. For all the progress Alden had made in gaining a sense of humanity he still considered his own life intrinsically worthless.
It isn't long before Caleb, Kae, and Moon Moon return to huddle around their fathers legs. They'd seen all the magic they cared to see and were ready for the next stop. Juney had somehow talked one of the healing mages into giving her a lesson and was absorbed in trying to get a wilted plant to come back to life. Little Naoki was currently plowing through a book of high-level magical theory, silently sounding out the larger words she had trouble with.
Some of the mages were looking at her curiously wondering why she hadn't put the book back. One comes up and asks her a question that amounted to. "Are you sure you understand that sweety?" Little Naoki then looks up with bright eyes and responds excitedly, explaining the complicated subject she just read with surprising accuracy. She was destined to be a terror, though the feat was a little less impressive if you knew she'd read several beginners books already, but only a little less.

"Fate isn't always a bad thing. I like to think it's what led me to Isra, and to Alden, and away from my old life and mistakes." Thaelyn's voice quietly spoke up on the subject at hand, and she looked up at Alden with a fond smile. Her life had only improved since meeting the High Marshal and his children. She'd gone from being an orphaned assassin to a woman with a respectable line of work and a lover that she would give her life for.. and his children whom she adored more than she'd ever thought possible. And it had all happened purely because she'd teleported nowhere in particular on a whim. The vagaries of whimsy and destiny were strange ones, indeed.

“Hmmmh.”
Naoki murmurs acknowledgment to Thaelyn, turning slightly to glance at her out of the corner of her eye. One of those who fates has treated favorably. One of those few lucky souls. The look Naoki slides sidelong is not quite one of contempt or envy, but one of mild curiosity, driven by musings about how Thaelyn might consider the world, and what further idealistic misconceptions she might have. But now is not the time, and this is not the company for a philosophical discussion, so Naoki leaves it there.
Instead, she fixes her attention toward the remaining children who have not returned, Little Naoki with her book, and Juney evidently under someone’s tutelage. Furrowing one brow, she spends a moment considering how to proceed but opts to defer the decision. They’re not her children, after all, despite what appearances might suggest
Turning to Alden, Naoki asks, “How would you like to handle this? I have no preference, but there’s a bit more to the tour.”

Three kids look eager to move one, one is still asleep, and two are just about ready to live here. Alden whistles sharply and makes a motion. Little Naoki pouts, Juney apologizes to her tutor and they both march to their father looking a tad sullen. To make them feel better he scoops them up into his arms and gives them both a peck on the cheek. "I am sure you will be allowed to come back at another time." He says and the girls reluctantly smile and giggle, as he kisses them back to happiness. The on looking mages blanche at the spectacle.
