Knock

Skye (Lyrositor)

Acquaintance	Skye knows no problem lies beyond her ability when her mind is set on it, but wearies of mundane puzzles.
Believer	Skye refuses the world's easy answers. She cultivates her mind as a farmer tills his field.
Disciple	Skye has begun to smile more. Perhaps because of what she has learned; more likely because of what she has yet to learn.
Ophede	Few things lie beyond Skye's grasp now, but those few that do are what she lives for.
Troublemaker	Skye is fond of answering simple solutions with complex problems.
Prisoner	Skye has bet she can break her chains faster than we can repair them. Let us hope we can keep pace.

Bryn (Evoro)

Acquaintance	Neighbours complain about the noise often - so Bryn has opted to do away with neighbours entirely.
Believer	They are thin and malnourished; some swear Bryn has even grown a few inches taller from their time beneath the earth.
Disciple	"I am digging," they explain, "to reach the Glory in the centre of the earth. But I suppose I can dig a few extra tunnels for you."
Burrower	With but shovel and pick, Bryn has crafted tunnels that span as far as the eye can see in the squalid darkness, and further still.
Troublemaker	Frequent reports of "disturbances" come from their home. Every time, we find nothing but a deep hole, and the distant sound of metal striking stone.
Prisoner	We ensure Bryn's cell has thick stone and allow no access to metal utensils. To them, bloodied hands and snapped wooden spoons are tools enough.

John (Will)

Troublemaker - John has finally found his calling, and seeks to share what he has found.
Acquaintance - John has led a life without distinction.
Follower - John wanders the moonlit streets.
Disciple - John does not know what he is seeking, but he will not give up on his quest.
Seeker - John is close now. Some days he is here, others he is across the seas, or over the mountains and the neverending desert wastes.
Prisoner - John endlessly paces in the confines of his cell.

Linnea (A Blessed Feline)

Acquaintance	You vaguely recognize Linnea from somewhere, though you cannot place where. Linnea claims to recognize you as well, though she refuses to elaborate.
Believer	Linnea was a midwife, and Linnea sometimes claimed that the children she delivered were old acquaintances of hers. Once, she tells you, she delivered the man who murdered her. After the court case, Linnea was no longer a midwife.
Disciple	"Linnea" is merely one of many names. Not all, Linnea claims, were given. Some she stole, some she bought, and some she conquered.
Exalt	Linnea says she remembers being there with you, watching when the Glory was relighted. She hopes she will be there with you as well when it is snuffed out.
Troublemaker	"Linnea" is merely one of many identities, all with their own personal histories and property records. She picks her victims in accordance with patterns which have been continuing without interruption for hundreds of years.
Prisoner	Linnea screams and curses at you whenever the moon comes out. Sometimes, she calls you by names you don't recognize. Sometimes, she uses languages you assumed were dead

Lantern

Antoine (Will)

Troublemaker - Antoine shepherds men like he once shepherded words.
Acquaintance - The noted theologian Antoine Bourzeis has, in his later years, become something of an iconoclast.
Follower - Antoine writes of the Divine Fire, of enlightenment and illumination.
Disciple - Antoine has taken to staring at the noonday sun for hours on end.
Heretic - Antoine speaks of stars like another might talk about their lovers. What secrets do they whisper to him?
Prisoner - Antoine watches the play of shadows on the wall. He maintains he has always been trapped like this.

Alex (A Blessed Feline)

Acquaintance	Alex used to be a gambler and a reader of cards, until the cards begun to make too much sense
Believer	Alex spends most nights at his writing desk, where he has arranged his old cards into neat piles and rows. The cards aren't real, he insists, and neither are the things they represent. But nonetheless, he claims they help him understand the world.
Disciple	Alex rarely speaks anymore, preferring to quote short phrases from his cards. Sometimes, he hums along to music only he can hear.
alex_d	"FNORD"
Troublemaker	It's all a game to Alex, the files say. They say other things too, but none of those things are relevant.
Prisoner	"So this is how it ends?" He asks you when the jail call slams shut. "Is that all I am to you, another insignificant pawn in another one of your little games?"

Arthur (Leathy Kocktail)

Acquaintance - His humour often get laughs from his audiences, but rarely comes from those he comments upon.
Follower - He always jests at the others' expense, but his insights are rarely wrong. He tries to make me laugh.
Disciple - He makes light of dark matters, even when I ask him not to, even when it would be merciful to refrain.
Vocabulate - His laugh is bright, his speech is harsh. He has learned that the right word in the right place can send a person to their knees. Another can dazzle and bewitch. Another can burn like the sun.
Prisoner - Even behind bars and tied up, he jokes and hypothesizes about the things I plan to do to him. 'Am I right?' he asks. He always is. I will need a gag as well.
Troublemaker - This comedian fancies me the butt of all his harsh jokes. He always says that I've yet to taste the punchline.

Edge

Lucas (Lyrositor)

Acquaintance	Lucas operates on his patients with formidable enthusiasm.
Believer	Lucas would much rather be saving lives than ending them, but those worth saving are in short supply these days.
Disciple	Lucas still dons his surgeon's scrubs when he knows the work will be untidy.
Sabre	Lucas dispatches problems with professional economy of effort. No knife is ever used twice without proper sterilization.
Troublemaker	Lucas is said to be the best in his field. Certainly none of his patients have died under his knife, but one suspects his true work is not performed before an operating theatre.
Prisoner	Lucas has taken to describing the myriad methods through which he will have his revenge on us. Some of the imagery does not make for comfortable sleep.

Heart

Claudia (Eliseofnohr)

Troublemaker - Even if you know everything about her, it is hard to bring yourself to attach it to someone as sweet and delicate as Claudia.
Acquaintance - Claudia is a frail young lady with an enchanting smile and an interest in old mysteries.
Follower - Claudia's speech always seems to be to a tune that is not quite known, though her coughs sometimes interrupt it.
Disciple - Claudia's words are like honey, her smile like sunlight. One must focus very, very hard to not simply agree and go along with everything she says.
Nrityian- As Claudia's body grows frailer, the pulse of her spirit grows stronger and stronger yet, undeniable. Even if she cannot walk, she can still dance.
Prisoner - Claudia looks very small and pathetic, but there is a vicious hate in her eyes.

Acton (Cospinol)

Acquaintance	Acton had found work in his body. He would now know of his mind.
Believer	Acton fears passion burns a body, but warmth now reaches the lengths of his mind.
Disciple	Acton speaks plainly of his body, but orates with measure his new beliefs on a pyre soul.
Exalt	Acton knows his pyre, the world strains greedily to the same.
Troublemaker	Acton's plans are veins of lava beneath a bubbling inferno. Smoke billows our sight.
Prisoner	Acton is not to see men speak, only to hear their voices. No more will his rages replace men.
