The Guild - CLOSED - Sign Ups

“Nobody can explain themselves because if that happened then we could make a new person out of our lies”

Elizabeth is a overgrown child to put things bluntly. She always acts like a child whether your a poor person or your some fancy CEO that has an assassin holding a knife against her throat. Though that isn’t her really, it’s a mask that has been glued to her face since she was little, she doesn’t really know what real love is so when she sees couples she gets depressed always daydreaming what it would be like to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Of course she doesn’t day dream about people she daydreams just in general. No one has seen her fully serious about a topic and most likely never will. She has a weak spot for animals, and can easily be bribed with candy.

“History is just things that make you how you are, isn’t it”

She thought she was a normal child like most when as she opened her eyes she could see the magic through the world when she told her parents about it they just said she had a large imagination to come up with that. She had gotten angry and a fire erupted from the stove showing her control over the elements. She had gotten sad a week later and the sprinkles outside had turned on without warning, the sinks in the house turned on along with anything having to do with water. She had remarkable connections with the elements, her parents used it to their advantage. The next thing that showed when she was ten was that she was able to do spells, she mastered spellwork by thirteen. Next was transformation she was fifteen when she found out about this and it took her until she was nineteen to finish and master the art. All in all she knows almost all types of wizardry and is always looking for new types(no one knows how she has ever learned since she never has been seen reading) she of course is still haunted at the horrible things she did for her dead parents when she was younger and just hopes to whatever god there is that it will stay buried far underground.

Her family is in the higher class of the social pyramid. But wasn’t that high in wizards and witches pyramid, of course they skyrocketed because of her. Now Hugh in both pyramids they had power, and with power came greed, Elizabeth knew her parents were gone when she looked them in the eyes at the age of ten. She grew scared and knew they were scared of her and her powers fearing for their own control and power over her, she wasn’t dumb she heard their whispers behind her, and their hawk like stare when she was studying a new spell or even eating. The only freedom she got was when they were asleep. Even though she still felt like she was being watched. When she was eleven her parents started to make her do little things like, steal from a bakery using her abilities, or steal from a peasant. It was little things which she enjoyed doing, but soon became more daunting, she remembered her first murder. She was at a party with her parent’s when her father ordered her to poison the drink of the man who told them to come. At first she was confused she never brought poison, but soon remembered that she could use spells and easily killed him. She didn’t even bat an eye. That’s when her parents grew fearful of her, she was never suspected of murder since she was a child and wouldn’t be able to do something but she was good at acting.

She became a child again when her parents first beat her at twelve, they wanted her to kill the child of an enemy but she didn’t because the kid was barely a year old. She was covered in bruises and lashes for a week all over before she had enough energy to complete a spell to heal herself. She became the child that she is wanting to please people but still wanting to please herself. She still got beat even if she did the right thing, even though she cried out why she knew it was to keep a reminder on who owned her. She grew tired of it by sixteen when her mother took it to far something in her snapped and she tortured her mother, keeping her in place with an invisible force while cuts appeared from head to toe some little small slashes like palaver cuts while some where enough to make her bleed, not to death yet. She gave her mother punches from the devil himself, everywhere the invisible force punched her the more and more the mother got burnt. After the whole night of torture she couldn’t even recognize her mother just a pile of bones and dust. She shivered she wasn’t crying she was happy one bug out of her life.

Her father came home that night in a bad attitude and she also was in a bad mood to they instantly fought but like before the father died an Unkown death. Just a skull and a pile of ashes that smelt like flesh were left of him. Elizabeth lived in the house for three days before leaving she had easily tricked a family to move so she could move into their home, easy she brushed her past life and crimes under her rug and started a new life.

• She has a cat named Spick (she was drunk when she found him)
• She is literally 5’2, she’s tried spells to make her taller but nothing works. Don’t call her short or you may find yourself as a mouse and put with her cat for a ‘playdate’.
• She likes to preform spells on unsuspecting people not caring for the consequences.
• She has glasses but refuses to wear them.
• She is very ticklish though she doubts people know about it.
• She also claims war on vegetables she hasn’t ate one since she was fifteen.
• She actually doesn’t eat or sleep very much she can go three full days without sleeping and almost two for eating if she deems something is more important than her health (which is almost everything).

Name:

Orestes Chamberlain

Age:

24 years

Gender:

Male

Sexuality:

Homosexual

Crush/Relationship:

May develop

Weapon of Choice:

A saw, if he can, but most of the time he carries around his father's old dagger since it's easier to conceal and carry around

Personality:

Orestes probably isn't the most lively person around. Many would describe him as a downer, someone who is more likely to bring down the spirits of those around him than bring them up. While Orestes is still a fairly nice person, this is still unfortunately true. Orestes takes on a more pessimistic, worried view of everything, but he tries his best not to mention it.

He's fairly sarcastic and has a sharp tongue that he's not afraid to use. He's certainly witty and clever, as well as resourceful. Orestes is usually able to come up with a quick solution to most problems that he's confronted with, so as long as they're not deeply personal problems for him. He's prone to trying to avoid those more than trying to resolve them.

He is very intelligent, and has a large collection of knowledge contained within his brain. He knows about a lot of things on a lot of subjects due to the fact that he had plenty of free time as a child, which he mostly spent studying and reading about anything he could. So if you ever have a question, Orestes is probably the right person to ask.

Orestes is pretty much always ready for any situation, but he's always willing to stop and think it through first. Unfortunately, this could cause him to overthink the situation and build up the fear inside of him, which causes him to think about wimping out even at the most crucial moments, and he would rely on the reassurance from his friends to pull through with it.

Despite that, sometimes Orestes could do the most impulsive things whenever his emotions come out. Orestes tends to repress his emotions, and as a result this built up many, many emotional problems for him. When they all come out, Orestes is almost completely unable to think straight, and he could easily do something he may regret doing in such a heated, passionate moment. This happens rarely to Orestes, since he's usually so level-headed, but it still happens.

Still, when Orestes hurts someone, he always acknowledges it and feels sorry for it. He never stoops so low as to actively even try to hurt someone who has never hurt him, but sometimes he hurts people and that's the end of it. Orestes will do his best to apologize and make up for it, because he knows that his mental and emotional states do not justify hurting someone.

However, he is also very vengeful and petty. Orestes is sensitive, and once you wrong him, you're not going to be on his Nice List, that's for sure. Orestes wants someone to pay for what he had to go through, and if you lose his trust the first time, then you're going to have to go through the circles of hell to get it back. Orestes doesn't forgive anyone so easily, and while he does hate this aspect of himself, he can't help it.

This brings us into the fact that Orestes is constantly haunted by his past. He is terrified of the future and having to face the consequences of his crimes, so he looks to the past. It's not much better, but Orestes at least knows what happens and what was going to happen from that point on in the past. He has a hard time letting go of previous events.

Unfortunately, he is not only starved for affection, he is starved for healthy affection. While Orestes grew up with very loving parents, the family dynamic was still extremely dysfunctional due to his parents' dissatisfied relationship with each other, and the family dynamic only became more strained over the years. This makes it hard for Orestes to resist the promise of somewhere to belong and people who would accept and love him, and often times he latches on to anyone who shows him kindness, which could cloud his better judgment.

Even then, Orestes is fairly contradictory here. He desires a good relationship. All he wants is a kind, healthy, beneficial relationship with people, but at the same time he's afraid of forging bonds with others or committing to them because he's afraid of being hurt because of them. Orestes wants a relationship (and I'm using 'relationship' in a more general use here) because of what it could do for him, but he doesn't want a relationship because of what it could do to him.

At the very least, this could make him loyal to those he already swore his allegiance to. Once Orestes decides that you're the kind of person he wants to be loyal to, then there's a rare chance that he's going to turn his back on you. Orestes is a 'ride or die' friend, and there is nothing more important to him than his friendships. Even if Orestes does have a hard time comprehending how to say 'I love you', his love is undeniable.

And, of course, just because he generally has a more depressed, dark nature doesn't mean that he isn't capable of doing more lighthearted things, too. Once Orestes opens up, he's more open to doing things that are lighter, things that could easily make him happy even if there are consequences to it. He wants relationships that allows him to be happy without having to be worried.

History (optional):

Orestes was born as the second eldest child within the Chamberlain family. His father was named Kane and his mother was Cione. His elder sister was Tira, his younger brother was named Virne, and his youngest sibling, his (deceased) sister, was named Lyve. His parents were both of nobility.

While there was no doubt that both Kane and Cione loved each of their children, they did not love each other. Their marriage was mainly the result of an arranged marriage between their families, and their relationship was not only destructive to each other but also to their children.

Every night, the children had to listen to their parents shouting at each other, fighting and arguing. Orestes even had knowledge of a few affairs his father had, and of course he knew that his mother had some of her own as well. Because of the destructive relationship between their parents, each of the children took on their own roles within the family.

Virne became the caretaker of the children when their parents weren't capable, Tira became the scapegoat, or the child that acted out, Lyve was the placater, the one who looked out for the emotional well-being of her siblings, and Orestes became the displaced one, the one who tried to be invisible and escape the family situation in any way he could.

Orestes studied to become a doctor and was interested in being a doctor at a young age because he wanted to feel as if he was in control and he had the power to heal something. If he couldn't heal the emotional wounds of his family, then he wanted to heal the physical wounds because he felt as if he could at least control that.

However, not all moments consisted of only sadness. Orestes could still remember that, when Cione and Kane had their occasional truce, they would take the children out to go eat outdoors, and in those moments the family was happy and actually felt exactly like what a family should feel like: happy, loving, and most of all, safe for every member.

But happy moments never last, and the family dynamic only became worse after Lyve's death from illness. Cione and Kane became even more distant from each other after Lyve's death. Tira yelled at her mother that night for handling Lyve's death so horribly (she would have yelled at Kane, too, but at that moment he wasn't available due to business matters), and Cione retaliated against her daughter and in that moment, Cione struck Tira.

Later on that night, Orestes slipped poison into his mother's drink in a heated moment against his mother. Had he contained his emotions, his mother would not have died that night, but Cione later died of the poison. Orestes was never caught for the crime of matricide, but he did become the primary suspect in the murder of his father, which he did truly commit.

A couple of years after poisoning his mother, Kane got into an accident (he fell off of a high place) while hunting with Orestes. Orestes, as the learning doctor, was tasked to take care of his father and keep him alive until professional help could somehow be brought in.

But instead, in another heated moment like the one with his mother, Orestes killed him by driving his father's dagger into him. It was because the repressed emotions of his childhood got to him in that moment, it was because of Lyve's death, and it was because Orestes wanted someone to pay for his childhood.

Orestes ran away after that, and Kane's body was discovered hours later. Because Orestes was the last person Kane was seen with, Orestes was immediately named the perpetrator of the crime and, once the son of two nobles, the child who should have had it all, Orestes was named a criminal at eighteen.

Orestes eventually joined the Guild at twenty years old, and the rest is history.

Hope he's alright! Orestes is like....90% negative traits lol

Name: Aldus Ives

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Biromantic Asexual

Crush/Relationship: None/Open

Weapon of Choice: A sword from his older brother, dual wield daggers, and his own fists

Personality: Aldus is a bit reserved with both his past and his emotions. He doesn't like to show weakness and will usually try and work through the pain no matter how bad it may get. Aldus has learned as a kid to never show how people get to you and to never show any weaknesses and to this day he still lives by this. However, Aldus can also be described as reckless and somewhat destructive. To him, most conflicts should be ended with a fight and not with words. However, if he wanted, he could probably talk his way out of a problem but most of the time his emotions get the better of him and he'll end up solving an argument with his fists. It's also quite obvious that, Aldus can be a bit stubborn. He never really liked working with a group or living with one either and he believes that he'll be better off working by himself even though he does just fine working with a group of people. Aldus also tries his best to be as optimistic as possible despite being a pessimist at heart. He'll try to shove the positive outcomes into his head to try and shove the negative ones out. Sometimes it doesn't work and he'll end up thinking the worse. Aldus can also be... impulsive. Most of the time he lets his anger and his emotions get the better of him and he allows them to control his actions instead of thinking it over. He throws punches first before finally thinking about talking. Despite his clearly aggressive and violent mannerisms, Aldus is quite kind-hearted. He's probably one of the most loyal people you will ever meet and when you earn his trust you better keep that trust because if you betray him you will either never hear from him again or will spend the rest of your life watching your back in fear that he'll be there to get revenge. Aldus isn't scared to make friends and is actually quite outgoing and charismatic. One of his weaknesses are kids. His violent and intimidating character will immediately drop when it comes to dealing with children. He just turns into a completely different person. However, his true character revolves around his violent tendencies. He's not afraid to get into a fist fight and isn't afraid to spill a little (or a lot) of blood. Aldus likes to be the 'strong' and 'intimidating' character and has never thought about showing weakness because weakness, to him, is just an obstacle in his way that he needs to destroy. Overall, Aldus is a tough guy who tries his best to keep that reputation. He can usually let his emotions get the better of him and turn aggressive and violent despite also being an outgoing and friendly kind of guy. Aldus is still just a kid trying to find their place in the world. He's not exactly sure which direction he should be heading.

History (optional): Aldus had 3 siblings, he was the 2nd youngest child, making it 4 children in all. The oldest sibling, his brother, was actually his half brother since Aldus and his 2 other siblings were the children of his father's second wife. His father had remarried after his first wife died from an unknown illness. The family line-up was, Cleavon (youngest brother), Aldus, Evelyn (2nd oldest sister), Brixton (oldest brother), Easton (father), and Hazel (mother). Aldus and his siblings got along and had the tightest bond. His brother, who was on his way to becoming a knight, gave, Aldus, a sword for his 7th birthday. Aldus, seeing his older brother as a role model, would usually practice with the sword so that he could be just like him. However, it didn't take long for his family to start spiraling down. His father became addicted to gambling and betting and would usually gamble and bet all the money for the family away. When he would return, Hazel would be quite clearly angry with him and the two of them would go at each other for almost a full two hours before, Hazel would leave the house and not return until the morning. It didn't help when, Cleavon, died from sickness. Aldus became distant and very aggressive. He would usually lash out at his family members and would run away from home for a few days. Aldus was also never great with the other kids after Cleavon's death. He would start fights and would try and beat up as many people as he could to let his anger out but people would usually take advantage of him and would take the moment to mock him and just overall bully him. Even though he was known to start a fight, other kids would still beat him up and from here, Aldus learned to never show weakness and to never let people see that they're getting to him. When, Aldus was 13, Brixton died. Brixton's death hit Aldus incredibly hard. He became destructive and would not only let his anger out through fist fights but would also let it out through trashing the house. His parents would usually have to hold him back to stop him from destroying the house. Feeling that he was a burden to his family, he ran away. He committed his first murder on year later when he was, 14. An older man had attempted to kidnap him and in the spur of the moment, Aldus ended up stabbing and beating the man to death and because of this murder, he was deemed a criminal. However, he didn't end it here. Aldus ended up becoming a mercenary and assassin who would do dirty work for some money and he kept this act up until he was, 18. Through his time as a mercenary, he ended up killing quite an amount of innocent people and a small amount of people who actually deserved it. He had decided to leave the mercenary life after an accident almost left him with a gouged out eye. After this, he worked by himself, committing crimes so that he could survive and make somewhat of a living. During his life as a mercenary, he wasn't exactly treated right. Quite a lot of other mercenaries would physically and verbally abuse him because he was young but he was able to prove them wrong. Aldus would then end up joining the guild. He wanted to try and get a new start at life but knew that he would never be able to forget the many people he killed and the crimes he committed.
