VIVICA
AND VIVIAN ASHFORD
This
pair are not twins, as such; one of them was abducted by an insane
mage and cloned as a being of the opposite gender—they share the
same memories, so neither is sure which is the original. They use
their uncanny synchronicity to bewilder their foes.
Appearance. Human, androgynous, lean, blonde hair chaotically shaved and spiked, dressed in stylish light armor.
Abilities. Street fighting, smuggling.
Traits. Greedy, competitive.
Ideal. To uncover the secrets of their origins and create an army of Ashford simulacra.
Bond. Unbreakable bond with each other.
Flaw. They care more about each other than anyone else.
PATTERSON
CREED
Patterson
Creed is the third son of a wealthy merchant, and it was expected
that he would join the Covenant rather than enter into the family
business. Instead, he left home to find Esme Corvinus and restore her
to the Empire's throne.
Occupation. Knight errant.
Appearance. Human, handsome, blonde-haired and blue-eyed, wears a bandanna over his mouth.
Abilities. Magic-enhanced marksmanship, mystical teachings, mercantile matters.

Ideal. Live by the gun, die by the gun.
Bond. Devoted to Esme Corvinus.
Flaw. Treats others, and himself, harshly.
