Faeldrin "Fae" Elariel



Username: Crystal
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Species: Human
Rank: Noble
Location Luthadel

Personality: Faeldrin is the perfect image of a lady. She's poised, confident, soft-spoken, and most of all obedient. She wasn't always this way. Until she turned 16, Fae was what you might call a rebel. Always getting into trouble, always doing the exact opposite of what her parents recommended. Then it all changed, and only her family knows why. She doesn't speak unless spoken to, and she certainly doesn't talk back.

Appearance: Fae has known for a long time that she's beautiful. People always told her that, even when she was a wild child. She has auburn hair and hazel eyes. Despite losing the energy they'd once had, her eyes still retain a certain brightness and life. Her delicate face and pale skin complete the picture. A fine prize for any nobleman, and she's been courted by more than one. Yet, her family still hasn't married her off. She remains a woman to be sought, a woman that it seems no man is worthy of. It doesn't stop men from trying. Her parents revel in the attention she receives... the attention that often transfers to them. She's been molded into her family's peacock, and do they ever like showing her off.

History: From the time Fae could walk and talk, she'd been a handful. Her parents could hardly get her to stop running around the house naked, let alone teach her etiquette fit for a lady. When they finally decided she was fit to exit the house, she found that she liked running wild with the boys and ruining her dresses with tears and dirt. Around the age of 16, she'd taken to sneaking out of the keep. For awhile, she got away with it. Soon, though, her parents became suspicious, and one night her father caught her on her way out. Turns out Fae had been sneaking out to see a boy--a skaa. She said she was in love. Her father was beyond angry, especially when he finally got the full story out of her. The methods he used she will never forget. They haunt her dreams and make her flinch away from him whenever they're alone, and yet if she told anyone they would dismiss her. No one would care. She thinks that part of him hoped the interrogation would spark her dormant allomancy, but Faeldrin remains without powers. Along with learning the boy's name--and sending men to find him and kill him--her father learned that Fae was no longer 'pure.' She'd be a disgrace if anyone found out. So Lord Elariel had finally beaten--literally--his daughter into submission. After seeing what he was capable of, she no longer dared cross him. She still feels the loss of her first love, and has yet to find another, nor does she wish to. She'll hold him in her heart forever. Her one last act of defiance against her father was getting a faint tattoo on her shoulder. The letter H, for her love's name. Her father knows, but he forces her to cover it up with makeup when its not covered by her clothing.

Nathaniel Elariel



Username: Crystal
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Species: Human
Rank: Noble
Location: Luthadel

Personality: Nathan once worked for the Steel Ministry, but he now spends his life viewed as 'that drunken wreck.' Well, he is a drunken wreck, but perhaps more functional than people know. People tend to leave him alone, given his violent outbursts and habit of yelling loud enough for the entire city to hear, so he has a lot of time alone. He likes it this way. He doesn't like people, nobles or skaa, and would probably just kill himself if he didn't have a bottle to crawl into every day.

Appearance: When he wants to, Nathan can look very put together. Lately, though, he's only been seen in disheveled clothes and with untidy hair, usually needing a shave. And that's just when he's out in public. He has dark, wavy hair and blue eyes. He has a tendency to stare off into the distance, perhaps remembering the past or dreaming of what he wishes his present was like. Really, though, he's been through a lot. He's tortured, and you can see it written all over his face.

History: Nathan, as a close cousin of the main branch of the Elariel family, grew up at Keep Elariel in Luthadel. He went into the Canton of Finance at a young age, only 20, and worked there until two years ago. That's when everything changed. His best friend, another obligator in the Canton of Finance, died mysteriously in a simple job. They said he was killed by skaa thieves. Angry and distraught, Nathan did the very thing they told him not to: he looked into his friend's death. What he found changed everything he thought he knew about the world he lived in. It turned out his friend knew something, and that something had gotten him killed. Not by thieves, but by the Steel Ministry, the very people Nathan worked for. After that he fell apart. For two years, he hid in his home and drank himself senseless. Now, Nathan has found a way to get back at the Final Empire. He's formed a band of criminals to strike back at the Ministry... and maybe even the Lord Ruler.
