 * Playstyle: I play PvE the most - I doubt I've played PvP for more than a handful of hours. I'm not a "serious" PvEr, by which I mean I don't usually go for titles or anything like that -- usually I just create characters that I think up, try to get armor and skills that suit them, and generally nance about like a fairy for a good couple of hours. That said, even though I'd class myself as a casual gamer, I've still clocked up almost 1000 hours over a period of 13 months. Ouch. >.<;

Characters

 * Though most of my fellow guildmembers consider me a nutjob for doing so, I enjoy coming up with backstories, personalities, family histories and such for all of my characters. As such, all of my characters are linked by a story that I've not really written down (aside from a small timeline). I'm attempting to make a set of profiles detailing their stories right here.
 * More or less, the story centers around the Aubelsong family, who have ties to the Primeval Kings. Odacambe Aubelsong, who could be considered the "main" character, discovers these ties and unearths information about the ancient "Yellow Monarchy", a group of families who apparently tried to maintain control over Elona by making sure only members of the Yellow Monarchy ever had the throne. Odacambe becomes intent on reinstating the Primeval King line (moreso when he discovers what happened in Elona because of Varesh), and also wants to have the Sunspears return to being under royal servitude as the Sunspear Guard. His sisters Mothriel and Cadency became estranged, get married to Theje Pace and Sengui Fon respectively and travel to Cantha, Odacambe travelled the world, started a guild within the Sunspears to pursue his dream, and eventually, on the day of his discovering that Fahranur held a vital piece of information about his lineage, was killed in the Charr invasion of Orr. His daughter Muliosa travelled to Cantha into the care of her aunt Cadency Aubelsong and her abusive husband Sengui Fon, Voresaji and Sabado escaped to Elona and became Sunspears, and his wife was killed. Odacambe is resurrected but is not under the control of the Undead Lich, which raises several questions within his mind, and continues on his way towards Fahranur. Sabado has learned his father amassed a fortune before his death, and also had some interesting ideas about the Sunspears and his family history that he himself takes up; Voresaji leaves Sabado to travel with Sloth Incarnate; Mu escapes her uncle's savage clutches and eventually meets up with her aunt Mothriel and her family, who then travel to Elona to stop Sabado and Odacambe trying to conquer Elona at the request of the spirit of a long dead ancestor, Goholore Aubelsong. Phew.
 * Two other members of my guild are on GWikia - one being a fellow officer called Hat, and the other being the guild leader (also my boyfriend), whom I call Sir.
 * Propz go to Peej for allowing me to borrow his drop-down box code. Cheers! =D

Player Characters
Characters I currently play. Diligence Incarnate
 * History
 * Nation: Vabbi
 * Birthplace: Mihanu Township
 * Birth Year: 1053AE


 * ''Diligence Incarnate is the pseudonym of Voresaji Aubelsong, the middle child of Darebesa and Odacambe Aubelsong. He was born in Vabbi, but later moved to Orr along with his family. During the Charr attack on Orr, he, his brother Sabado Aubelsong and his father were seperated from the rest of the family - their father told them to make for Elona and seek out the Order of the Sunspears of which he was once part. Shortly afterwards, Odacambe was killed, and both Sabado and Voresaji escaped on board a boat headed for Elona.
 * ''Since joining the Sunspears, Sabado and Voresaji grew distant as both pursued different interests - Sabado seeked the wealth and glory his father had acquired, whereas Voresaji felt a strong tug in the direction of servitude for the Gods. After meeting Sloth Incarnate, Voresaji took up the mantle as Diligence and travelled with him, performing the duties expected of the Sunspears as he made his way towards Vabbi, his homeland. Once there, Diligence joined a small Vabbian ecclesiastical group and became a devotee of Lyssa under the tutelage of Kehanni Nutu. He continues to travel with Sloth to this day.


 * Skills
 * Though dervishes are expected to revere and serve all of the Five Gods, Diligence's piety to Lyssa is his driving force; he is learned in the arts of offensive enchantments and uses them in battle.


 * "Eternal Seborhin"


 * Connections

 Sengui Mu
 * History
 * Nation: Orr
 * Birthplace: Port Asaiah
 * Birth Year: 1056AE


 * ''Sengui Mu was born Muliosa Aubelsong, the daughter of Darebesa and Odacambe Aubelsong. During the Charr attack on Orr, she and her mother were seperated from the rest of their family and gained passage on a boat heading to Cantha -- her mother died from her injuries on the way. She was taken in and raised by her abusive, domineering uncle and a kind but submissive aunt. Her uncle, Sengui Fon, renamed her "Sengui Mu" in a bid to make sure his reputation was not tarnished for taking in a foreign orphan. Mu was quickly pushed into studying swordsmanship with the Canthan guard at the behest of Fon. At sixteen, after being controlled by her uncle for the past few years of her life, she escaped to Shing Jea island to attend the monastery. Professor Gai took her under his wing and taught her the secrets of the Ritualist art. Her hatred of her uncle, however, has not subsided.


 * At Present
 * ''After travelling throughout Cantha, Mu was inducted as an honorary member of the Kurzick nation. Theje and Mothriel Pace heard of this, and met with Sengui Mu in the Lutgardis Conservatory; they discovered that she was Mothriel's niece, and offered to take her in. However, Mu declined, the memory of her previous foster-family still fresh in her mind.
 * ''It was at that time that a spirit appeared before Mu - that of Goholore Aubelsong, a long-dead ancestor. He warned Mu, Mothriel and Theje of a plot enacted by one Sabado Aubelsong to take over the country of Elona. Mu was stunned at the revelation of her brother's survival and immediately set for Elona - Mothriel, recognising a hint of obsession that she had witnessed herself before leaving Elona, decided to come with her, along with her husband Theje.
 * ''Mu is now searching the country of Elona, looking for her older brother.


 * Skills Used
 * Mu is introverted and tends to avoid attention, but she is prone to destructive, rage-filled outbursts under pressure. Under Gai's tutelage, she has refined her repressed anger into her channeling magic; this, along with her training in swordplay, makes her a formidable ally.


 * "Violent was Muliosa"
 * These skills are often used in conjunction with her sword and shield for PBAoE damage.




 * "Balanced was Muliosa"
 * These skills are used alongside Mu's Channeling weapons, providing a balanced skill set.




 * Quotes


 * Idle Quotes
 * "You cannot be certain of success with merely a sword or just a spell. Only balance in both will assure victory."
 * "Rage is a scourge - though I must be lashed, I am cleansed."
 * "I find my peace only in anger; stillness is my war."
 * ''"Orr did not burn as Ascalon did. No, our fire was an inner fire."

 Sabado Aubelsong
 * History
 * Nation: Elona
 * Birthplace: Mihanu Township
 * Birth Year: 1051AE


 * Sabado Aubelsong is the eldest son of Odacambe and Darebesa Aubelsong. During the Charr attack on Orr, he fled with his brother Voresaji to Elona and joined the Sunspears. Since then, he has heard much of his father's legacy of the Yellow Monarchy and the Primeval Kings. He wants to get to his birthplace of Mihanu in order to collect his inheritance gold from his father's death, and in so doing, re-establish the Yellow Monarchy. To do so, however, he has taken leave to travel to Tyria in order to find out as much as he can about the Yellow Monarchy - his goal is to find a way to the sunken city of Orr.
 * ''Sabado can be seen as stern and manipulative to those who do not know him, but those who do will speak fondly of his desire to truly help people. He aspires to leadership, and in so doing wishes for everyone he works with to take responsibility for their actions and co-operate.


 * At Present
 * ''Sabado failed to find a way into Orr, but his journey through Tyria strengthened his resolve to get to Vabbi to reclaim his family's fortune. Upon arriving back in Elona, a member of his old regiment met him on the Sun Docks - a man named Carcossus Roi. A fight broke out between them, with Roi proclaiming Sabado had forged documents pertaining to the Roi family history. Sabado wanted none of it, and merely walked off without answering the accusations. A week later, on receiving news of Carcossus' murder, Sabado set off towards Vabbi.


 * Connections
 * "Diligence Incarnate" is Sabado's brother. Voresaji left him in order to travel with Sloth Incarnate.

 Odacambe Aubelsong
 * History
 * Nation: Elona
 * Birthplace: Kamadan, Jewel of Istan
 * Birth Year: 1022AE


 * Odacambe was born in 1022, and joined the Sunspears when he turned eighteen. His zeal for the Order made him a valuable and dedicated leader, but also led him to find out everything he could about its history, until eventually his research led him to information about the Sunspear Guard, and later the Yellow Monarchy. Startlingly, he discovered that he was the descendant of the Primeval Kings, and he formed a guild within the Order of the Sunspears, intent on re-establishing the Yellow Monarchy himself. His findings sent him throughout the world -- from the Holdings of Chokhin to the libraries of Arah.
 * ''Soon, Odacambe settled with his wife Darebesa in Orr, researching more of the Primeval Kings and the Yellow Monarchy. One day in 1070, he uncovered information regarding Fahranur's link to the Yellow Monarchy, and arranged passage to Elona by corsair vessel - on this day, the Charr attacked Orr. He and his sons, Voresaji and Sabado were seperated from his wife and daughter, and he hastened them to get onto the corsair ship, telling them to seek out the Order of the Sunspears. He was killed seconds afterwards.
 * ''The Lich Lord's magic, however, prevented him from staying dead - he was resurrected, but, unlike the remainder of the population of Orr, he did not fall under the sway of the Undead Lich. Something more ancient had already taken hold over him, and he immediately made for Kamadan, intent on reaching Fahranur - rumours are afloat, however, that his son Sabado has discovered the truth of the Yellow Monarchy, and will try to take his seat as the Aubelsong king. Odacambe will not let this happen.


 * At Present
 * ''Odacambe covered up the worst of his scarring with new, lighter armor - his body had become far more frail after his death - and set off from the Sun Docks towards the new Kournan Sunspear Sanctuary. His aim is to get to Mihanu Township before Sabado - what he will tell his son upon meeting him, he has not yet decided.


 * Skills Used
 * Prior to his death, Odacambe was a zealous Sunspear Warrior; with his death, his body has become weaker. He relies on Curses to debilitate his enemies in order to better defeat them.


 * "Hexes of Hastur"


 * Connections
 * Diligence Incarnate is one of Odacambe's sons.
 * Sabado Aubelsong is another of Odacambe's sons.
 * Sengui Mu is Odacambe's daughter.
 * Mothriel Pace and Cadency Aubelsong are Odacambe's sisters.
 * Yorii Nwobisa is Odacambe's niece through Darebesa.


 * Goals
 * Finish both Attribute Quests.

 Sudjest Mercado
 * History
 * Nation: Elona
 * Birthplace: Freeman's Cove
 * Birth Year: 1053AE


 * ''Sudjest is part of the Mercado branch of corsair families. For the most part, she is involved in smuggling, but now and again takes to adventure throughout Elona -- the danger of being caught by the Sunspears, she claims, increases the excitement that much further.
 * ''Like most corsairs, Sudjest has a keen interest in making a profit, usually through less-than-legal means, although she has been known to accept requests from people provided they pay enough. Her desire for more gold has spurned her on to Vabbi -- where her family are to begin plundering the Aubelsong fortune.


 * At Present
 * ''For a while, Sudjest took some mercenary work for the Ebon Vanguard to hunt Charr in the region north of Ascalon. While providing her with decent pay, it did not fully satiate her hunger for adventure. After she was contacted by a messenger from her family regarding the Aubelsong fortune that was lying unguarded since Odacambe's death, she immediately set sail for Elona. Not even bothering to conceal her identity as a corsair, she travelled towards Vabbi, not entirely unchallenged.


 * Skills Used
 * Sudjest's skill with a bow is remarkable, and she has a keen sense for observing her opponent's condition - oftentimes, she will announce a bet that she can take down an enemy in a certain amount of time, she may call a target on her opponent's body and hit it squarely with a single shot. Recently she has taken to studying using fire arrows alongside fire magic to increase her ability.


 * "Nine Second Sudjest"


 * Quotes
 * Battle Quotes
 * ''"500g says I can get you square between the eyes!"
 * ''"Don't make me shoot your torso off!"


 * Connections
 * Sudjest's family are enacting a plot to steal the fortune left behind by Odacambe Aubelsong. They were the corsairs that granted passage for the Aubelsongs on the day of the Charr invasion of Orr.
 * Sudjest has a firm friendship with Margrid the Sly.

 Murphy Castaigne
 * History
 * Nation: Tyria
 * Birthplace: Drascir
 * Birth Year: 1032AE


 * ''Murphy Castaigne is the younger brother of Dermott Castaigne. During the Searing, Dermott's wife was killed, and he retreated into a life of drink; Murphy has vowed not to make his life a shambles as his brother did.


 * Skills Used
 * ''People often assume that Murphy, as a dilettante, is merely a jack of all trades; that he is a competent mage, and nothing more beyond that. They assume incorrectly. Murphy is a master spelljack, capable of stealing his opponent's knowledge of particular spells in battle. While this often leads to some random or unorthodox skill sets, Murphy's aptitude at stolen skills is unquestionable.


 * Connections
 * Murphy is Dermott Castaigne's brother.
 * Cerian Castaigne is Murphy's niece through Dermott.


 * Goals
 * Get an Elite Mesmer Tome.
 * Learn Signet of Illusions.
 * Make a spelljack build.
 * Get Mesmer Ancient armor.
 * Make a Plague Doctor armor set.

 Theje Pace
 * History
 * Nation: Cantha
 * Birthplace: Echovald Forest
 * Birth Year: 1027AE


 * ''Theje Pace is the current patriarch of House Pace, one of the lesser Kurzick Houses. His mother, Busza Pace, fanatically tried to assert her family's dominion over the Kurzick houses a decade ago, which resulted in the Pace House being shamed, Busza being ostracised and committing suicide, and Theje bearing the heavy burden of being the new Head of House. He has made sure that he will bring House Pace to glory, not through subjugating the other Houses, but by proving his worth to them.
 * ''Theje is a kind person - not one to hold grudges or bear ill towards people over trivial reasons.


 * Connections
 * Theje is married to Mothriel Pace (maiden name Aubelsong).


 * Goals
 * Finish Factions (Currently on: Raisu Palace).
 * Get Monk Elite Kurzick armor.

 Baaj Pace
 * History
 * Nation: Cantha
 * Birthplace: Echovald Forest
 * Birth Year: 1040AE


 * ''Baaj Pace is the younger brother of Theje Pace, the current patriarch of the minor Kurzick House Pace. Since he was young, he trained to be a warrior, intent on becoming a mercenary to escape his mother's shameful actions on behalf of the House. When he was eighteen, he left to train with the Sunspears. Once Theje took the mantle of patriarch, Baaj returned to Echovald and took an oath to assist Theje in his duties to restore the name of the Pace family.


 * At Present
 * ''Baaj, in his duty as his brother's keeper, is travelling alongside Sengui Mu, Cadency Aubelsong, Theje and Mothriel Pace on Goholore Aubelsong's request in an effort to counteract Odacambe and Sabado's intentions of taking charge of the Aubelsong family and reinstating the Yellow Monarchy.

 Mothriel Pace
 * History
 * Nation: Elona
 * Birthplace: Kamadan, Jewel of Istan
 * Birth Year: 1024AE


 * ''Mothriel Pace's maiden name is Aubelsong - she is the younger sister of Odacambe Aubelsong and the older sister of Cadency Aubelsong. Prior to meeting her husband, Theje Pace, she was involved in a necromantic blood-sacrifice cult that was created after a schism in Odacambe Aubelsong's guild that researched the Yellow Monarchy. Theje met her during a trip to Istan and, falling in love with her, rescued her from the cult and took her with him to Echovald. She has since vowed never to practise Blood Magic again, and prefers not to speak about her life prior to arriving in Cantha.


 * At Present
 * ''Mothriel approached Sengui Mu during the latter's acceptance ceremony as an honorary Kurzick and informed her that she was her aunt. Mothriel and Theje offered to let Mu stay with them in Echovald, but Mu politely declined, owing to her previous experience with a foster family. A spirit calling itself Goholore Aubelsong manifested before Mu, telling her that both her brothers are alive, and that Sabado is enacting a plan based on an obsession that could very well threaten to destroy him, his family, or all of Elona. Mothriel, recognising this obsession as having been inherited from her brother Odacambe, intends on travelling to Elona to confront Sabado; her husband Theje, and Theje's brother Baaj, are coming with her. Prior to leaving Cantha, however, she and Mu are taking a trip to find Sengui Keiten Xi - or, as she was called before Mothriel left Elona, Cadency Aubelsong.


 * Connections
 * Mothriel is Mu, Voresaji and Sabado's aunt.
 * Mothriel is Cadency and Odacambe Aubelsong's sister.


 * Goals
