Atma's Circle of DOOM!

Here are some suggestions for Atmadja and her group. Col, use any or all as you please, so long as Atma and Iluun remain pretty much intact!

There's a LOT of potential here for people not getting along. Basically: most everyone hates Nadine, the women hate Erk (except Atma, who thinks he's funny but completely ignores his advances), and Jhadak is pretty much there to glue all of them together. Nadine is particularly suspicious of Iluun and asks him WAY too many questions and tries to pry into his business. Erk thinks Tahlana wants him but she just likes messing with him so he does what she wants. Lana thinks Nadine is a prissy whore, while Nadine thinks she is nothing BUT a whore. Atma ignores most of the squabbling, but avoids talking to Jhadak because their beliefs differ so radically, so she spends most of her time talking to Iluun, which makes Nadine suspicious of HER. Etc. etc. ^_^;

Note!! If the Circle ends up in an all-out battle with Ryshassa and Alexsei, Iluun will side with Ryshassa and help Alexsei protect her. Atmadja will fight -- even kill -- to protect her sister, but will make no move to help Alexsei or Iluun. Of course, she'd prefer that Alexsei stay alive so she can question him before potentially turning on him, too (as soon as Ryshassa is safe!)

Ledaal Nadine

Exalt Type: Dragon-Blooded
Caste / Aspect: Air
Concept: Haughty, perfectionistic sorceress seeking knowledge for power.
Nature: Savant
Demeanor: Critic

Trait Priority: Mental, Social, Physical
Favored Abilities: Awareness, Investigation, Resistance
Favored Weapon: None
Charm Theme: Elemental offense, clairvoyance, enhancing/hindering the senses
Sorcery Theme: Defense, immobilization (sleep, paralysis, etc.)

Appearance: Shoulder length, wavy blonde hair tied in two high ponytails; frosty, authoritative blue eyes; flawless porcelain complexion; slender and below average in height. Favors loose clothing in white and silver trimmed with blue, accessorized with decorative and artifact jewelry.

Character Summary: Nadine has recently graduated from the Heptagram and is already growing to be a sorceress of considerable power for her age. She carries herself with an air of aristocratic authority, as if she believes her skill and good breeding makes her superior to the rest of the group, and isn't afraid to speak up when she encounters someone or something she dislikes. This attitude has made her quite unpopular among her peers, increasing their resentment whenever her superior knowledge or cunning proves useful. Perhaps they secretly hope her curiosity for all things sorcerous will one day lead to her demise.

Mnemon Jhadak

Exalt Type: Dragon-Blooded
Caste / Aspect: Earth
Concept: Devout, level-headed Immaculate and veteran hunter of Anathema.
Nature: Traditionalist
Demeanor: Judge

Trait Priority: Physical, Mental, Social
Favored Abilities: Medicine, Melee, Survival
Favored Weapon: Tetsubo
Charm Theme: Healing, wilderness survival, Earth Dragon Style Martial Arts

Appearance: Bald, without facial hair other than eyebrows, which are a dark brown; weary but wise brown eyes; tanned complexion marked with scars from past battles; broad and rippling with muscles. Prefers practical clothing with an oriental flair in dark green or earthy tones.

Character Summary: Jhadak is the oldest of the group, having participated in three notable Wyld Hunts in the past. He does not particularly fashion himself a leader, but often finds himself in the position to mediate or break up arguments between his younger colleagues. Most of the time, though, he remains stoic and silent, speaking only when he feels his input is necessary to maintain harmony among the group or further them towards their goal. Physically, he is a juggernaut of stamina and strength, but is slow to anger and difficult to rile up into making an unwise error in judgement.

Cynis Atmadja (Atma)

Exalt Type: Dragon-Blooded
Caste / Aspect: Fire
Concept: Fiercely independent soul who prefers to solve problems with steel.
Nature: Rebel
Demeanor: Bravo

Trait Priority: Physical, Social, Mental
Favored Abilities: Brawl, Endurance, Martial Arts
Favored Weapon: Double katars, fists, grapple moves
Charm Theme: Anything that helps her hit harder, move faster, or trip up her opponents (her style is very dynamic!)

Appearance: Red-gold hair about mid-back length, worn in two braids; almond shaped violet eyes sparkling with fierce pride; bronzed complexion; strong but shapely body toned by combat training. Wears clothes of warm red and amber tones, typically form-fitting or minimalist so as not to hinder movement.

Character Summary: Atmadja dislikes working in groups and has for some time been questioning (secretly, of course) the teachings and true intentions of the Immaculate Order. Still, she has contributed her combat expertise to the Wyld Hunt in the hopes of finding her beloved older sister, Ryshassa, who supposedly Exalted as Anathema and was spirited away by a sinister man of unknown intentions before she could come to understand what truly conspired. Ever since Ryshassa disappeared, she has devoted so much of her life to improving her skills in battle that she has never fallen, nor has any desire to fall prey to the vices House Cynis is known for.

Tepet Erkhart (Erk)

Exalt Type: Dragon-Blooded
Caste / Aspect: Water
Concept: Foppish rogue who thinks himself a gift to all women.
Nature: Thrillseeker
Demeanor: Gallant

Trait Priority: Physical, Mental, Social
Favored Abilities: Dodge, Stealth, Thrown
Favored Weapon: Throwing knives
Charm Theme: Sleight of hand, unseen movement, evading harm
Special: Should have luck merit of some sort :D

Appearance: Blue-black hair cut rakishly short, often mussed; dark eyes gleaming with mischief; pale complexion with a bluish sheen; lithe, wiry frame favoring speed over strength. Usually seen in his favorite outfit: low-slung black leather slacks, white silk shirt partially unbuttoned at the neck, brown suede longcoat with wide cuffs and ornate gold buttons.

Character Summary: To the members of his struggling House, Erkhart is seen as little more than a troublemaker. He was sent away with the Wyld Hunt as a way to keep him preoccupied and possibly even inspire him to do some good for the Realm instead of uselessly (and honestly, quite badly) attempting to charm women into his bed. His terrible social skills have made it an impossibility to marry him off into a family of strong breeding or plentiful resources to help House Tepet regain the might it lost during the disastrous campaign against the Northern barbarians. However, his skills in stealth and larceny, coupled with the lucky streak that has followed him for most of his life, may prove to make him useful to his new team -- or at the very least, help him survive.

Sesus Tahlana (Lana)

Exalt Type: Dragon-Blooded
Caste / Aspect: Wood
Concept: Spoiled child turned manipulative dancer and pleasure-seeker.
Nature: Conniver
Demeanor: Hedonist

Trait Priority: Social, Physical, Mental
Favored Abilities: Athletics, Presence, Socialize
Favored Weapon: Longbow
Charm Themes: Nimble movement, emotional manipulation, inspiration of allies

Appearance: Thick, wavy honey-brown hair cascading down to her waist; warm, inviting green eyes; fair complexion dusted with freckles; voluptuous, well endowed figure. Prefers jewel-toned shades and breathy fabrics of gauze and gossamer, barely opaque enough to cover her modesty.

Character Summary: Tahlana was born out of pleasure, the illegitemate child of an Exalted Dynast and a concubine descended from Cynis lineage. She became, for some reason or another, the favorite child of her Sesus father, and lived an easy childhood in which her every desire was met. Even in her schooling, her father had no qualms about pulling strings to protect her from punishment or discredit a rival who might otherwise humiliate her or best her in a competition. Instead of simply taking advantage of his aid, though, she learned from his example, combining it with her talents as exotic dancer and performer to mesmerise or confuse her opponents into doing as she pleases.

Iluun do'Reshar

Exalt Type: Sidereal
Caste / Aspect: Chosen of Secrets

[For more information, ask Jon!]

Character Summary: Iluun is a Gold Faction Sidereal and friend of Alexsei Krauser, masquerading as an agent of the All-Seeing Eye. He specializes in divination and sorcery in particular, and follows the group due to his special interest in Atmadja and her sister. An aloof, friendly man with the heart of a wanderer and the soul of a gypsy, he tends to lie back and take the role of guide and observer, without interfering overly much in the plans or methods of the group he was assigned to. Most of the time he spends alone is in figuring out how he can arrange for Atma and Ryshassa to meet while distracting the rest of the Hunt from their goal.
