Personal Information

Appearance

Scarlet Snow is a tall (5'11) woman with the kind of slender curves that forms the Dynastic ideal. She's graceful, sways when she walks and is prone to incite excitement with a lift of the eyebrow. Her hair is waist-length and dark red. Flecks of silver dot the entire length, right up to the roots of her head. She usually wears it loose to the shoulder blades, gathering the lower half together in a large silver loop. Her eyes are a striking silver, beautiful as a polished mirror or a knife depending on her mood.

Snow, when not dressed for other occasions, favors a full-length black kimono, decorated with dragons of red brocade. Her kimono is belted with a beautiful butterfly silk sash emblazoned with the House Cynis mons. Unknown to most, she keeps her knives hidden in a special sling tied into her hair, perfectly covered by it.

V'neef Vala. Played by: Lumby. Wood Aspect Assassin. Hand crossbow.
Tepet Xuyiko. Played by: Kalga. Air Aspect, Social and stealth, uses Chakram. Tepet Xuyiko: Air Aspect. Is good with books. Joined due to an innate desire to protect the Realm, but will question if the Anathema are just as bad as they say. Tends to ask why. Well spoken, albiet a bit softly. Does not enjoy violence, but understands the neccesity for it. Creative. Pretty much expected from an Air Aspect.
Cynis Folano. Played by: Zeal. Water Aspect Magistrate. Dire lance. You know Cynis Folano is a Water Aspect, and a magistrate-in-training apprenticed to the rather powerful and prestigious Spring Razor. He is here as a working partnership between the All-Seeing Eye and the Magistracy, kind of an internship for superhumans. This is his last post before going off as an independent magistrate. He is an expert in criminal investigation, and an initiate into the Five Dragon Style.
