Rose

Characters in a story, Hell yeah! They're like the base on which it stands. To help you with all of the characters in Rose so far, here's a little lowdown. I won't be adding the characters from the previous book, because they'll be over at that site. =). The fields are the samne as before - Type of Character, Means of Arms, and Relations.

NOTE: In order of appearance.

Magari (MAH-gar-ee) 

Type of Character: Main 

Means of Arms: Dirk

Lord Magari is the ruler of Hell, imprisoned there after He attempted to steal the treasure of the Goddess Kaiya, who was the Mistress of War long before even Time existed. Very little is known about Him but He is a sinister figure of power, lean yet hideously strong. He has a long tattoo of an adder, from one wrist to the other, the symbol of His office. His face is always hidden by a cloak of raven feathers, as his description dictates:

The figure was unnaturally tall – around eight feet, a hooded cloak of raven feathers clasped around His neck with a large skull, rumoured to be His father. Nobody knew for sure, as the figure was very select and trusted no one; His woes or worries settled inside His heart, which was as cold and as hard as ice. It wasn’t His job. He had a reputation to uphold.

In fact, nobody really knew if He was human, although he certainly looked like one. Although the hood always hid His face, He had a skeletal torso and His hands and fingers were spindly and white. The eyes burning out of the darkness were a dark, dark green, like some kind of rock pool, and were mottled with black. His teeth glinted in the light when he talked; they were a murky yellow with a diamond inset into each one. He didn’t bother with dental hygiene. He had other things to do.

His clothing, too, was fairly normal: A dark tunic made of bat’s wings, with the cloak swaying around His ankles, which were hidden by onyx boots. They had small ivory horns poking out of the back, travelling alongside the seams. His undershirt had once been a shark grey, but the sleeves had been torn away and it was now sleeveless. A sinister grey kilt was clasped around His lean waist by a wide belt.

A ring glimmered on His right hand, pure silver, like the stud in His nose and the ankh earring he wore. The one unusual thing was the tattoos snaking around His wrists, showing a long adder; the tail around one wrist, the head around the other, with the body travelling across his scrawny chest. The symbol of His office.

Magari, as you may well know, is evil and has hatched an evil plot to take over the Empire, but Jay is standing between He and Rose...

Relations: N/A

Type of Character: Main 

Means of Arms: Rayfire, long rapier, and a second sabre.

Rose is the daughter of Troy Rayfire and they're alike in many ways. According to Eva, her mother, she has the same piercing green eyes (ithout the battle fire), the same colour hair, the same - well, pretty much everything. She can grin like him, smile like him... you name it.

Rose is a very determined person and, refering to Troy again, is a rebel at heart. She just doesn't care about the rules. As I'm sure you'll know, Troy didn't either. xP. Her best friend is Jay, who's the son of Joel Hilltye.

She also has one or two concealed weapons - not as many as her father, though! Rayfire, a long rapier, and another sabre which once belonged to Troy is all she carries. The longbow and jarrows (a cross between arrows and javelins) that Troy made for his use, however, are far too big. She can only pull the string about halfway, and the bow itself is too large anyway.

She is quite shy, so Jay normally does the talking! She's sensitive and can play the flauto.

Relations: Troy Rayfire (deceased),  Eva Raithorn, 34. Jay Hilltye, cousin, 16. Joel Hilltye, 'Uncle'; Lily, aunt, 32. William Cantero Arnold Macorino Rayfire, Grandfather. Too old to give age. xP

Type of Character: Main 

Mean of Arms: Knife

Jay Hilltye is a total handful!!! As I've explained in chapter 1, he has fair hair and mismatched eyes. He's loud, bubbly and quite idiotic, actually! In a good way, I mean. If that makes sense. However, he is pretty bright and is an amazing fencer. Inherited cooking skills of his father and likes to experiment with recipes. Has a scar across his chest that was claimed in his first ever skirmish.

Relations: Son to Joel Hilltye, 36, and Tiffany, 35. Cousin to Rose. 'Nephew' to Eva.
