WESLEY
REINHARDT
SECOND-IN-COMMAND
40 / STRAIGHT / 5’8 / VIRGO / YMIRE
Originally hailing from the marshlands of Ymire, very little is known about the magnanimous Mr. Dvergsdal (though he insists on being called Diamont, this feels ill suited and far too casual) other than his presence ten times larger than his body and his acquisition of the largest monastery belonging to the Church.

Wesley was Diamont’s closest confidante in everything but truth. Though they could once have been called friends, Reinhardt was left behind long ago. Still, he remained by Diamont’s side until the truth became too hard to ignore. Now with nothing but an empty spot to his left, Reinhardt must decide whether to remain true to his promise of fulfilling a dream that was never his, or to choose himself for the first time in his life.

ALCYONE DE
ANASTAS
MAID
50 / STRAIGHT / 6’0 / TAURUS / THETIN
A seemingly unimportant man hailing from Thetin who has accepted the position at the monastery as a student advisor following the death of his wife and daughter. Grant was once a Thetin noble, but moved out of his family home to get married and work as a teacher at the Grand Academy of Thetin. He’s got a knack for listening to others spill out their hearts to him, but never letting anyone in his. Isn’t that just how Thetin’s citizens are, though?

21 / BI / 5’1 / LIBRA / FERRARCH
In the ten years Alcyone as called the monastery her home—and swept every inch of daily—she barely made an impact. The few people who have regarded her as something other than a random staff member would know that she is very naturally curious and a massive gossip, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind. She has a captivation with the world that cannot be sated, spending most of her free time studying the flora and fauna around the monastery and strengthening her understanding of a wide array of skills. To end a busy day, she plays a melody on her violin under the stars.

PROFESSOR
39 / LESBIAN / 5’6 / CANCER / DRACOSIS
Those with a careful eye may see past the tear or powder ridden pink around her eyes and recognize her as the previous princess of the lost kingdom of Dracosi, who attempted to make a stand for her country and, as many know, failed. So why, now, does she have a matching band around her finger as the one around Diamont Dversgal’s? And why does she seem so disdainful of it? One would assume she would rather have a spider resting on her finger.

37 / LESBIAN / 5’8 / SCORPIO / YMIRE
A famed veteran of the War of Water, now parading not a sword, but a scowl on her lips. As opposed to basking in her victory after the war, Qilin disappeared, only reappearing now at Diamont’s monastery, glare behind him far more icy than the water she was famed for mastering during the war.

PROFESSOR
29 / STRAIGHT / 5’9 / AQUARIUS / YMIRE
It is hard to believe that such rough hands could build an effective medic. Piper has yet to prove herself as one. Books and letters of recommendation can only get one so far, but has she ever truly felt the warmth—or lack thereof—of a body needing assistance? Diamont’s chosen staff has thus far been surprising in its stunning cast of characters, and Piper fails to meet the mark.

33 / STRAIGHT / 6’2 / CAPRICORN / DRACOSIS
The name Mercier may strike fear into the hearts of whoever recognizes it for their mastery of void magic, but Desmond is nothing like his family. After becoming fed up with his power-hungry relatives and fleeing his homeland Dracosis, Desmond decided to instead start new and learn sun magic in Monastale out of spite and the desire to help others. Accepting the job as a sun magic professor at the monastery was the perfect chance for him to prove he’s better than the blood that runs through his veins.

28 / BI / 5’9 / PISCES / YMIRE
After separating from the Cochrane family to lead a quiet life in Ymire, Jude has accepted the position as moon magic professor at the monastery under mysterious circumstances. He might seem standoffish, but he’s just learned to mind his own business from a young age. With a small smile on his face that never seems to fade away and drives most people far from him, he’s hoping he can find peace once again at the monastery.

19 / BI / 5’2 / PISCES / FERRARCH
Your Star magic professor is…a child? Not quite, though many are wondering the same. Dropped off at the monastery when she was a baby, Naree Chae was raised as a nun. She kept a low profile until she was discovered using a form of Star magic that had never been observed before. Slapped with a professor role and told to teach the next generation how she did it, everyone learned fast that she isn’t quite cut out for the job. What do you mean “just let Gutenberg’s hand guide you”? Who is that? And why does it seem like she knows more than she’s letting on?

BRONWYN

RIDING INSTRUCTOR
22 / BI / 5’2 / PISCES / FERRARCH
Born and raised at the monastery, Celeste has always been… more in touch with the saints of magic than others. Anyone who doesn’t worship them will become a fast enemy and anyone who wrongs her will surely receive divine punishment. Her devout and strange ways earned her the spot of head nun, although she takes her job way too seriously. Some say she practices moon magic, which only adds to her oddness. But she’s sweet once you get to know her.

26 / STRAIGHT / 5’4 / TAURUS / THETIN
Growing up in the midst of war, Bronwen swore to use everything she had at her disposal to end suffering and pain. She find solace and understanding in the Monastery of Islas, finding similar ideologies and a similar strong drive for one final sacrifice to end all pain. She didn't mind hopping on a horse's back and waiting, watching some brief discomfort, and then getting to be part of a new world. All she had to do was smile and wait.

25 / GAY / 6’1 / CAPRICORN / MONASTALE
The scandal regarding Cain’s parentage was only given gasoline in response to the equally large scandal of Vale’s parentage, but at the absolute very least their father, the Prince of Monastale, was consistent after the passing of the Queen. Cain was deemed the only appropriate crown prince by the people of Monastale after the War or Water and began his training young. Only promise followed until an incident years ago, where he went missing for several months and returned without his crew. In the place of the charismatic and confident Cain Castelmore was something cold and quiet.
Played by: Addy
25 / BI / 5’11 / CANCER / MONASTALE
Vale’s life started with scandal, and it will end with scandal. It is no question to anyone who knows him personally that Vale’s heart is even purer than the dust he snorts at parties around Monastale—one of the few things he’s very particular about, among his brother, who he has a tendency to follow like a lost puppy that he hasn’t grown out of. Kindness can only get you so far. The general speciality came as a surprise to anyone who saw him cry drunk into the arms of yet another mistress. A bigger surprise? He’s good at it. The only predictable behavior, like his attitude towards women, wine, and merriment: he wants more.

21 / STRAIGHT / 5’1 / PISCES / MONASTALE
Citlali has spent her entire life being fawned over, being praised, being loved. Dug from the depths of her father's casino Snake Eyes to stardom across Ferrarch as a singing prodigy, she gained the adoration of most young women in the country and ownership of the strip her father amassed from the money she earned. Now, theoretically independent after her father's death, faced with the maintenance of the strip and her family name, she wonders if she wants to be part of any of it at all.

26 / LESBIAN / 5’6 / LEO / THETIN
She can memorize every chess gambit like she can memorize every possible suitable battlefield across her home country of Thetin and the neighboring countries of Monastale and Ymire. She can master every weapon, she can understand imperfections down to a microscopic level, she can spend lifetimes learning, and she may as well have. More than that, though, she can do it with a smile, a laugh, and a pat on the back waiting for her nearest companion. The bubbly commander has, of late, been withdrawing from her peers. Consistently tired, occasionally snappy, always judgmental, she seems to have taken a 180 turn.

34 / GAY / 6'2 / LEO / MONASTALE
The leader of Dusk Wing, famed as a miracle healer for various afflictions across Ferrarch. What he's actually doing is inflicting patients with conditional cures, that slowly sap away at their souls unless they return for repeat appointments—that always seem to bump up in price. He speaks as a noble under the pretense (see: made up fairy-tale) that he comes from a noble family in Monastale, and that he left that life to help people. After following his dear younger sister and being unable to help her, it's only natural he should carry her honor, and inhabit her bed at the monastery.

24 / STRAIGHT / 6'1 / CAPRICORN / MONASTALE
A cousin to the Castelmores, most would be surprised to find out that Leoric had a very middle class upbringing. His parents claimed it would teach him humility and honor…and it did! More down to earth than most royalty, Leoric enjoys political activism, hanging out and playing with children in his town’s square, and cracking open a cold one with the boys. Just don’t ask him to go horseback riding. He broke his arm once as a kid when he fell off one, and has been scared of the things ever since. He’s excited to be at the monastery to meet new people, broaden his horizons, make friends, and return home a better leader.

24 / BI / 5’4 / GEMINI / MONASTALE
After her brother Alec was removed from the knights of Monastale, Verity was left to uphold the Regis name due to the embarrassment he brought to it. Verity is the picture perfect noble — intelligent, kind, and humble; although, most have seen her slipping out of her mansion and hanging around the edges of casinos late at night. The luckiest gambler in all of Ferrarch isn’t as modest as she seems.

25 / LESBIAN / 5'8 / AQUARIUS / YMIRE
Pirates have the reputation of sticking with their crews through hell or high water, but Malaika breaks every mold. Having bounced from ship to ship, she could never stay in one place for long, often leaving tragedy and a lot of pissed off people behind. No one can tell what she’s running from, but she looks around every corner like someone is waiting to get her—well, other than the crew of the Big Deal. Being put in the Leader class had to be some kind of prank, but on who?
