[Omar]

History and Description:

Omar Khudikias is an Iraqi Kurd, and a Christian. A very large man, he stands 6'10 inches tall, and over a meter wide at the shoulders. He was an Olympic wrestler, who came in 6th place in the 2000 games. Because of his failures, he was tortured by Saddam. He developed a high tolerance for pain as a result. Since his 2000 finish, he had been focusing his mind and will to prevail at the 2004 games. Unfortunately, he finished 4th at those games. Since his eruption, he has been banned from amateur competition.

Omar is an extremely handsome Kurdish man. In many ways, he is a modern Heracles who inspires awe in others, due to his sheer size, athleticism, and strength. He is studying History at the University of Texas, where he attends on a wrestling scholarship. He also has numerous endorsement deals which have made him a wealthy man.

Personality:

Omar knows he inspires awe and he plays up to a crowd when he is wrestling. He knows he is handsome, and he thrives off the attention it brings him. He can be a show off, and has been known to be cocky.

Known Powers:

Omar is tough and strong. When he charges someone, they usually end up on the ground. He has, on occasion, when really threatened, grown to a height of over 50 feet. His skin has hardened to a thick and resilient hide. He has yet to display his other abilities.

Omar is an affable guy. He is an honorable man who will keep his word. He has 'adopted' a young man whose parents died the night he erupted. Omar felt some responsibility for their death, and has vowed to protect the teenager.

[Mr Fox]

NPC: Morgan

"Morgan McIntyre is a quiet, gentleman in his early 50's who lives in a suburban area of Van Couver. He is seen by his neighbors to be a handsome, if distant type. He is a regular attendee at the local church: The Church of Saint George. His wife of 10 years died 4 years ago of cancer, but he seems recovered from that loss.

As a younger man he was in the military Serving in both Gulf wars. It was while he was there for the first one that he happened to be in the right place at the right time to save the life of a young kurd named Omar. Some time after the war he retired from the military having put in his 20 years and started living a quiet life in Canada drawing retirement and working on the house and various hobbies.

Recently he was contacted by Sports Illustrated to fly down to Texas for an interview and to be reunited with Omar whose life he has saved so many years before. While at the unveiling of the art exibit where Omar was being featured, an explosion occured killing most of the attendees, but causing Morgan to erupt.

Since then he has demonstrated both the power to warp space and to heal. Though he had outwardly recovered from his wife's death 4 years ago, he was just going through the motions of life. With the crazy things that have been happening he has begun to take a real interest in life again, and is secretly enjoying the heck out of everything that is going on, though he is very sad that others died in the attack that caused his eruption.

He has a strong face with grey eyes and a firm jaw, but he smiles often and seems mostly cheerful. When he is angered though, his eyes take the hardness of one that has seen a great deal of death and injustice. These days he dresses mostly in either black slacks and shoes with a crisp white button down shirt open at the collar, or some form of army fatigues and combat boots. His hair is completely white, but with his being a nova it almost seems a result of taint due to his features being so toned and firm. In truth his hair began going white as far back as the first Gulf war, and is the only reminder of his real age. Except for the hair he could easily pass as a man twenty years younger than his true age.

The only time he shows signs of taint is when he uses either his Warp or Healing powers. When he opens a warp his eyes become pools of blackness that seem to have stars deep within their depths. During healing his hands glow with a gentle golden light that seems to radite peace.

[Andrew Murphy]

Carter Linwood (a.k.a Randall Smythe)

Background:

- Currently Carter's background is not known to the group. It is clear from his comments and prior behavior that he most likely worked in the criminal underworld, possibly as a fence, fixer, or theif (or all of the above). Based on his equipment it is clear that he is technically savvy and has either the means or the money to procure the very best technology.

Skills and Powers:

- Carter has demonstrated a wide base of scientific and engineering knowledge as well as comments leading others to believe that he has some working knowledge fo the criminal underground and black market. He is clearly athletic and fit though his ability in combat is somewhat lacking. He is a low powered nova and the only abilities that he has thus far demonstrated are invisibility and possibly some level of mega attributes. Cater does possess a very powerful suit of eufiber which affords him protection as well as providing him with extra tools as needed.

Physical Description:

- Carter stands about 5'10", he possesses a wirey frame but moves gracefully; that he may not be physically powerfull is clear, but it is also easy to see that he makes up for it with speed and flexibility.

He is dressed in hiking boots and jeans with a black t-shirt on. Over his head he has a thin stocking cap. He appears to be a day or two past his last shave but his olive skin and dark hair mean that he can pull of the look quite well, even in the dim light is is easy to see that this man in handsome.

Over one ear is some sort of communitcations device while over the other is a head up display, the green panel folded over his left eye is streaming data, evident by the faint glow from the eyepiece.

Shortly after being kicked out of their native timeline Carter jumped ship to a similar earth. He had found it impossible to reconcile his anger with his new lifestyle and planned to try and recapture his old life, even if on a slightly different world.

[Courier]

Steve Courier (No Nova name in use)

Nature: Analyst

Merit: Internal Compass

Languages: Arabic, Vietnamese

Age: Apparent age mid 20’s.

Appearance: Himself at his prime, with a health and fitness he never had the time to have. He's now good looking enough to turn heads. Steve is an imposing white man with black hair and piercing blue eyes who appears to be in his mid 20's. Six foot tall, maybe 200 pounds. Somehow he manages to be both suave and domineering, he’s a guy who’s presence just screams experienced law enforcement. Steve doesn’t have any non-baseline (taint or quantum) features to him and is normally mistaken for a hansom baseline.

Religion: Atheist. There is no fate but what we make, religion is for people who aren’t willing to take responsibility for their lives.

Background: Steve has always had an unusually strong willpower. His Dad moved out before he was born, his Mom was unstable and just short(?) of certifiable, it was clear to him from day one that he was destined to be white trash. Rather than moan and gripe about his situation, or pray to god about it, he willed himself to success. In junior high and high school he got a 4.0 by studying every night. It was simply a matter of discipline. This lesson was reinforced in the 60’s. Vietnam went through, he was drafted, and while others could have relied on their families money, he spent 6 weeks before basic training learning how to speak Vietnamese and got himself an away from the front lines job as a translator. From there he used the contacts he’d gotten to go into Law Enforcement and joined the FBI. In the 70’s he become convinced smoking was bad so he just quit, once again mental focus succeeds while other people's prayer failed. During the first Gulf War when he was 53 he was reactivated and he learned Arabic… which was fine, except a few months after the war his hands went numb. He could still use them, but he couldn’t feel with them. After terrorism became an issue he was in high demand in the FBI for a while, but his health was failing and he retired. Truth to be told, he wasn’t real happy with some of the things he’d seen in the department. During the second gulf war he served as a civilian translator for HQ.

Then one night, he had a pain in his chest and erupted. He was over 70, maybe he’d had a heart attack. Other people erupt and become their wildest, most out of control fantasy. But even there his self discipline held true. He became largely what he wanted, younger, better, more in control, more skilled, but still grounded. If he were the type to look back and say 'what if', maybe he'd regret his eruption choices... but he isn't so he doesn't. As always, he views himself as master of his own destiny, and he will make of himself what he wishes. Eruption healed his hands, didn't give him tendrils, gave him back his health and increased his lifespan. In his view he could have done far worse.

Shortly afterwards he went into business with Cody (who was a friend and former “student” of his in the second Gulf war) as private investigators. It was Cody’s idea, but Steve jumped at the chance, this was an opportunity to do things without the idiocies of the Bureau, and one of his new gifts was a good set of business skills. Steve got to be the pleasant face of their firm, and is often assumed to be the baseline “handler” or “secretary” of a one nova firm.

Powers: Although he describes himself as a “nova Sherlock Homes”, this is true only to a first approximation. Eruption appears to have “tuned him up”. Steve thinks with inhuman clarity and speed, especially on matters touching upon investigation. By observing people’s mannerisms and picking up on other clues, he can’t be lied to. He can see in the dark, follow people’s inferred signatures, and never needs to break off an investigation or stake out because of a need for sleep, drink, or food.

He gained professional level expertise, or better, in every skill he’d ever touched during his 71 years of life. As the bulk of this was spent in one type or another of law enforcement, “Sherlock Homes” fits reasonable well. But there are a number of exceptions to this, both big and small. He never played basketball, but he could go Pro now. His reaction time at performing known tasks is close to zero, with one action flowing seamlessly into the next. Most oddly, “the lucky break that breaks a case” comes with uncanny frequency in both big and small matters.

EDITED: Since the game began Steve has "lost" about two years of his age, making him young twenties. He also gained a few new powers, specifically a few new skills and the ability to glow blue white (Biolum), and to make his hands burn redly and hum (Claws).

Steve now has so many mental, physical, and social skills that it's effectively a power in itself.

EDIT Again: Steve has all 9 Mega-Stats, most at more than the basic level.

[Thoranon]

Marcus Alexander

Background:

- Marcuc was an amatuer golfer and college student when he went Nova during his first professional golf tournement live on ESPN.

Skills and Powers:

- Marcus can morph his body into lightnig, while in that state his density is decreased. He also has some mastery over the element of lightning.

Physical Description:

- Marcus stands about 5'9", and is fairly slended but in good physical condition. Nothing about him really stands out except for his yellow glowing eye that have an occasion lightning flash in them.

[Isabel Mendoza]

Isabel Mendoza

Known background: Isabel was an artistic prodigy even before her eruption augmented her abilities. At her current eighteen years of age she was the "new baseline sensation", competing even with superhuman nova artists for attention. She erupted when an unknown device exploded at a party centered around the unveiling of some of her drawings, disaster that killed her parents, who were attending, in the resulting destruction.

Physical description: Isabel was always attractive. Incredibly attractive, in fact, although not in the way usually associated with Latin women. Short, thin, petite, she looks even younger than she is, but angelical in doing so. She's even more beautiful now that she's a nova, but it's a cold, alien form of beauty, like a sculpture done by a master artist who somehow didn't understand humanity, human warmth or comfort. Her eyes are brilliant pools of light of many colors, of immense beauty but ultimately emotionless. If eyes are windows to the soul, then it's almost disturbing to think that her soul could be filled with nothing but harsh lighting. Her hair is made up of perfect violet waves, the unnatural color all but sealing her unapproachable appearance.

Personality: Isabel is not normal. She doesn't relate normally to people, at least. Silent when she can, she always used to let her brother or parents talk for her, and when she does talk she's hesitant and awkward at best, and can get nearly nonsensical at times. Even for those that get to know her, she doesn't seem to care about much except for her art and her brother, although Esteban would swear to anyone who'd listen that she was a truly caring person underneath her detachment. She seems to prefer to communicate by art, but, especially since her eruption, her work has become so complicated that it would probably require someone with the same supernatural understanding that she has to really understand it. All considered, she doesn't seem to have taken the death of her parents very well, withdrawing even more into herself, and her new disturbing appearance obviously doesn't help matters. With her brother now in a different and inaccessible reality, she's lost both one of her main supporters and the easiest way she had of communicating normally with the world. She's understandably affected.

Known powers: Although she hasn't displayed her powers too often or very spectacularly, she obviously has a considerable control over light, and can create or destroy it at will, bending and even breaking conventional physics with various tricks, including turning invisible. However, her most noticeable power is perhaps her subtlest one: she has an understanding of art and beauty that is absolutely beyond human understanding and can casually produce masterpieces like those that have made history, and with good materials and effort she can create views that will reduce the most cynical and jaded man to tears. Sometimes it's difficult to tell if she even realizes she has this "power", in fact she tends to approach all her new abilities quite casually, as if they're the most natural thing in the world.

[SkyLion]

Cody Marcus Salvador (Alias: Overload)

Concept: Dark Telepath

Nature: Formerly Analyst. Survivor Since Eruption.

Languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Swiss, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean Afrikaans, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Hindi, Russian, and the potential for many more.

Age: 29

Appearance: Cody is extremely attractive by human standards, and possesse the exotic good looks of both his parents. Close shaved dark hair and melato skin are accented with high regal cheekbones, full lips and devlish arching eyebrows. Of average size, his build is nonetheless athletic and imposing, with strong definition. The entire Orbit of his eye sockets are nearly always covered individualy with sleek goggle-like silver chrome lenses. No one can ever look him in the eye without coming under telepathic assault.

Background: Cody's father Martin Salvador was a Spanis expat working in high finance New York. His mother, a sultry lounge singer, was the child of Nubian immigrants. Depsite his rather exotic parentage, he lead a fairly normal childhood. Cody was almost finished with college when 9-11 happened, and being a patriotic New Yorker, he left school to enlist in the US Marines. Sent to the Gulf as a field commander, it was during those years that he met the elderly Courier, who served his unit as a civilian translator. The two men bonded over their mutual love of linguistics and Steve became something of a mentor to Cody, impressing upon the young man the neccesity of a strong and well-honed mind.

Cody was discharged from active service when a concussion grenade left him deaf. Working in the private sector as an investigator, he made a name for himself due to the advantage his handicap gave him in dealing with the mega persuasive. He worked often with the Russian arm of the directive and various other organizations when they needed to get the straight facts from Novas who were otherwise socially untouchable. It was during such an investigation he found himself on the wrong end of a Domination. He was forced to kill several innocent people in a shopping mall while being recorded on camera. When he was made to put the gun to his own head he erupted, The sound of the grazing bullet broke through into his erupting mind and signaled the return of his hearing. The Psionic onslaught of the scared people around him and the frantic thoughts of the wounded and dying overwhelmed him. He screamed, both physically and telepathicly, while slamming down walls in his mind so hard that he fried his captors nervous system and then fled out into the night.

As far as the Directive was concerned he was a rogue asset-turned-Nova who had erupted and gone on a killing spree. Consequently, he was forced to go underground, and found refuge with his old mentor, now in retirement. He had nightmares of his ordeal...watching as he guns down scores of people. He remebers each of their faces. He stayed out of sight for six months before surfacing with a new identity, taking small freelance contracts with DeVries. His military training and abilities made him ideal for Elite missions relying on stealth, infiltration, and information, and as a combat telepath with his invaluable 6th sense, he was able to deal easily with more physically oriented Novas.

Once he had ammased enough money and favors, he quit DeVries and went into business with his old friend, who had recently erupted himself.

Powers: All of Cody's powers are telepathic in nature. His mind is constantly psychometrizing his immediate vicintiy, seeking out mental imprints of hostile intent. Likewise, his telepathy renders him able to tell when someone is lying and has made language almost archaic. He can "see" psionic manifestations, even when they might otherwise be hidden, and his own mind is nearly impervious to assault.

These low-level peripheral manifestations usually go unoticed by baselines. However, establishing a full telepathic link is very unlpleasent experience for the target. The psychic scream from his eruption is still present within him, and the background static and invasive nature of his telpathy make it quite the opposite of surrepititious. Rather the target is subjected to intense headaches that can last up to an hour after contact (nicely circumvented by interfacing with Lorean's implant might I add).

He is also able to project the scream into another's conscioussness at varying levels of intensity. At a low level, it creates a powerful disorientation in the victim as their mind is overloaded with hallucinatory stimuli. At higher levels it can cause muscle tearing siezures, permanet brain damage, or even death.

((Just a note that all references to psionic are from the POV of the Aberrant Era. While not Psionic in the Trinity sense, it is nonetheless, how he sees his powers and how they manifest for him.))

[NFVD]

Alejandro Riso

Concept: Swordfighting expert

Nature: Follower

Apparent Age: Mid 20's

Languages: Native Spanish, English

Picture: A man of latin stock with very dark short hair. He is tall and physically fit without being buff. He has dark brown eyes. Bears a certain exotic beauty about his features that makes him attractive, usually in the eyes of foreign women. Usualy wears jeans, military boots and simple white t-shirts. When he feels he must get "classier" he dons a few "Heavy Metal" silver rings, a leather jacket and a large belt buckle with the logo of his favourite Spanish Punk band Los Renegados de Bouliqueime

Personality: Somewhat quiet and reserved (for a Spanish), tends not to say a lot unless excited when his penchant for swearing in his native language kicks in, uncomfortable when alone near women (he does not trust his ability to hold a conversation with the opposite gender while avoiding to speak about swords), those few that have held extended chats with him might have detected his dislike for immigrants belonging to ethnic minorities.

Background: An only son. Alejandro’s father was a policeman who got killed in the line of duty about a year before the he joined the chronicle. His mother had left the house without even as much as a note years before. He was teaching martial arts at a local gym before an American gave him the chance to take part in the action scenes of a historical movie being shot in Spain. His contact persuaded him to move to Las Vegas and continue what might have been a promissing career. Sadly the individual had perished by the time he ariived in America and Alejandro found himself without a job and very little money. Then he saw a very strange job add...

Powers: None. He is a baseline. He can do some cool moves with a sword tough.

[Andrew Murphy]

Andrew Murphy - Nova

Andrew Murphy was a successful chemical researcher until fairly recently. Hard at work on waht would be a revolutionary new polymer Andrew signed agreements with research firm without realizing that he was signing all his rights to the product away.

The work was going well and if he could just figure out how to stabilize the new compound he would completely change the way data nd power were distributed around the world. The polymer was cheap to make and far more efficient than copper, gold, or optical fiber.

Two years ago the company he was working for was purchased by a larger firm. They broke up the company and sold off the profitable divisions and simply liquidated the rest. The entire R&D division was laid off and shut down. Murphy fought in the courts to gain access to his research so that he could continue his work but to no avail.

Bankrupt and alone Andrew had been staying with an old college freind trying to get his feet back under him. The offer the novas made was better than gold to Andrew. He gave the $20k to his freind as thansk for supporting him and left his world behind. He has started to recreate his experiments needing only to figure out how to stabilize the new material to see his efforts come to fruition.

Andrew is a short thin man of Irish heritage. At 5'6" and under 150 lbs he is less than an imposing figure. His pale skin and red hair mark his origins but his green eyes do little to hide his intellect. Though he often flounders in social situations it is clear to anybody that takes the time to look that Andrew misses very little be it when in conversation, research, or simply taking in a scenic view.

Andrew Erupted on an anternate earth, a world destroyed by war. He was the unfortunate victim of a building collapse. In an instant his life was forever changed as his eruption altered him down to a physiological level.

Powers: Andrew is a master Shapechanger, he has displayed greater than human stamina and healing as well and is able to extrude portions of his now gell-like body into a pair of tentacles, each of which can be tipped with a leathal barb of hardened bone-like material.

[Joani]

Joani Reikspar

,,

Nature: Paragon

Languages: English, Spanish, French, German

Age: 20

Appearance: Joani is of athletic, yet womanly build and stands about 6 feet tall. Her long almost golden blond hair cascades down her back like a waterfall and perfectly frames her beautiful face. She could be of Nordic decent with her deep blue eyes and amazonic stature. She could easily be described as the dumb Californian bombshell-sexbomb if you just took her outward appearance into account. Something which she regularly takes advantage of if the situations calls for it (or seems convenient).

Personality

Joani bristles with energy and always smiles in public, trying to keep the spirits high. She has grown with her responsibilities as Leader of the Paragons. She still is plagued with insecurities which she only shares with her husband - in public she is a fortress of selfconfidence and serenity. Her focus always stays with the greater good for the people and she rather lets one "bad guy" escape than putting the lives of innocents at stake. She is very compassionate and puts her own well-being behind those who need more support. Her greatest rewards are her children, her husband and the peoples recognition for her dedication.

Powers: can you say Supergirl?

To be more precise - Joanis strengthlimit is yet to be determined. Until now there has been no feat she wasn't capable of doing using her strength. She seems to hold back in combat, always trying to disarm her opponents or overwhelm them.

Besides her strength Joani is capable of supersonic flight and superspeed in movement which she makes regularly use of.

Her resilience is spectacular bordering on total invulnerability.

Her most aggressive offensive power is her Heat Vision, which she never uses to harm baselines. A direct hit could easily kill any baseline and would severely injure most Novas. Joani prefers to use her Heat Vision as a tool, like a melder or for other useful applications.

Her prefered power to immobilize criminals or opponents is her superbreath which can freeze its target in no time.

Joanis mental abilities are all well in the realms of superhuman, especially her perception. She is capable of seeing through unleaded objects and scan all the other frequencies of light (UV and EM). She can also zoom in like a microscope and her hearing extends to the ultrasonic realm, even catching up on radiowaves.

Here is a picture of her, though the skirt may be a little too short:

[Ulric Reikspar]

Name: Ulric Reikspar

Date of Birth: Feb. 4th, 1895

Date of Eruption: Sept. 16th, 1923

Nature: Leader

Languages: Too many to count (Linguistic Genius), but includes most European Language Families.

Background:Ulric Reikspar was 19 when World War I broke out. He was already in the army, doing his two years of compulsorily service, and quickly found himself in the desperate straights on the Eastern front. Bravery, quick wits, and leadership in battle brought Ulric to the attention of his superiors and he began to rise up the non-commissioned ranks.

Away from the war, his widowed mother married a wealthy merchant and gave Ulric a sudden social boost and patron. A combination of ability and his stepfather’s political pull allowed Ulric to become an officer, though he still suffered from the aristocratic bias. In turn, Ulric came to blame the governing elite for the privations the German people were going through.

Even as an officer, the war was harsh on young Ulric and he became a damaged, disillusioned young man. Somehow the world had failed. People all across the globe were dying and there seemed to be no end in sight. In these dark days, Ulric began to form his own ideas about what had gone wrong and how it could be fixed.

The end of the war saw Germany in turmoil. Using his family connections, Ulric was admitted into a University in Berlin. Here he refined his viewpoints on government. He also fell in with various veterans’ groups and fought the communists in the streets. These days were heady times. They also convinced Ulric that violence was not the answer to the world’s problems. What was needed was leadership.

Ulric’s growing status in the Friekorp came at a cost. His family, Social Democrats, disowned him. He became the target of leftist goon squads as well as some of the faculty at the University. This brought him to the day of his eruption.

Description: Ulric is a dashingly handsome man with ghostly blue eyes. His hair is blonde and cut short in a military manner. He is 6'2", well-built, with an imposing bearing. He is well spoken and has the 'Look of Eagles' about him. Ulric hardly looks his 40 years of life ... until you look deep into his eyes.

Skills and Powers: Ulric is a trained soldier and keeps up his marksmanship and boxing. He is an accomplished academic with an honory doctorate in Linguistics. Socially, he is very skilled in navigating the seats of powers, financial centers, and society, high and low. His primary ability though is his mastery of the art of Public Speaking. Ulric can move the masses toward any cause, as the quick movement for European Unity has proven.

As a side note, Ulric is an accomplished writer and painter, both beyond the cusp of human ability.

Personality: Ulric is first and foremost a child of the Great War. He lost so much and saw so much death and destruction. He never wants to see that happen again.

To that end, Ulric leads. He led the Unity Party to leadership in Germany, Germany into the European Union, and the EU into becoming the largest backer of the League of Nations.

Ulric drives his underlings sternly to get the hard work of Global Unity accomplished in their lifetimes. He demands results. He demands even more of himself. Ulric knows the cost of the Cabal's (his term for the group) failure and that won't happen on his watch.

Ulric still feels a bit intimidated by most of the Cabal, feeling his is one of its weakest members, so he has yet to assert his leadership style amongst them.

[z028 Riley]

Name: Kyria Thea Donnighal

Date of Birth: May 1st, 1983

Date of Eruption: N/A

Nature: Architect

Languages: Most European languages, Sign Language, with a smattering of Middle Eastern, Inidan, and Asian languages.

Background: Little is known of Kyria's upbringing, other than that she is the daughter of Michael Donnighal and has been raised in secrecy by him. She has obviously received an excellent and varied education and comports herself as someone used to being listened too, if not usually obeyed.

Description: Kyria is a beautiful young woman emerging from the last stages of childish cuteness. She has extremely fair skin, high cheekbones, and light blue eyes that turn hazel when she is upset. Her hair is a light strawberry blond and cut in an artistic if ultimately practical bob.

Skills and Powers: Beyond admitting to inheriting at least a small portion of her father's telepathic abilities, Kyria seems to easily surpass baseline humanity in every way. Her movements belie her nova heritage, having never had a baseline self she has no understanding of how to 'pass' for one; having never been sick in her life she has a slight phobia of dealing with those struggling with illness. Her mental capabilities are likewise beyond baseline human to the point that she can become frustrated with people unable to keep up with her, though she tries to be kind about it. Her appearance has caused people in her life to wonder just how much farther above humanity novas really are becoming, how close to true gods. After incidents when she was an infant, her father found it necessary to hire deaf nannies and servants to prevent his daughter from holding absolute control over those in charge of her care as a child.

Personality: Kyria wavers between the trained politician and manipulator her father has trained her to be, and the young teenager she is. The disparity between the two can be disorienting to others. She is prideful, but also truly strives to do what she thinks is best, first for those around her and second for herself. She is exceeding loyal, dislikes outright lying but is amused by people's assumptions, and is eager to take part in the greater world that her father has instructed her in but never truly allowed her to experience.
