Name: Prince Reyner Arenar
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Parentage: Mothered by an unkown woman now claimed dead.

Occupation: Reyner lords over a town called Wheelton in the lush forest bordering the Goblin Confederacy. He’s established close and beneficial relations with the nearest goblin tribe, and has a rather positive reputation in his locale.

Greatest Desire: Better mutual benefit across races, regions, and creeds.
Greatest Fear: The exploitation or genocide of “weaker” races.

Appearance: Reyner is a few shades above pale and reasonably well built with a modest height of 5’8. or 172cm. He has thick, auburn hair that falls to shoulder length and tends to be a bit messy. His eyes are on the golden side of hazel, and practically glow in the light. He has sharp eyebrows and a pointed face that denotes a ferocity which few would fail to be intimidated by.

Attire: Reyner’s traveling attire is a hefty, fur-lined long coat colored a deep moss green. He sports tall, dark leather boots overtop dark trousers and a fine silk shirt. A few gold chains adorn his neck and he wears countless bejeweled rings on both hands. Under his sleeves are a pair of heavy vambraces lined with metal.

Equipment: Reyner’s caravan always has a few spare warhammers in tow, but his primary weapons are won in the form of his vambraces. The two braces are shape-shifted hammers that are always at the ready. In hammer form they are identical, with two-foot-long handles and two-pound steel heads. The head of each hammer is blunt and convex on the front, and tapered into a dull spike on the back.

Magic: Shape-shifting. Reyner is able to shift himself or nearby objects into different shapes via his magic. He can dramatically shift his own form up to roughly twice or half of his current mass, and can stay in the shifted form almost indefinitely.

Reyner’s magic can also apply to objects in his vicinity, but the shape-shifting effect will wear off when the spell runs out of magic. The more energy he imbues into the target, the longer it will remain shifted. He can also continuously feed energy into an object to keep it in a shifted form, which is how his hammers maintain their worn form.

Shifting objects or other people is much more taxing than shifting Reyner’s own form, and he can’t increase or decrease the mass of the objects the way he can with his own body. His ability to shift objects is also proximity-based, and the further an object is from him, the more energy-taxing it is to shift it. As an example - if Reyner touched a hammer and shifted it with a spell lasting 24 hours, that same amount of energy would only maintain the spell for 12 hours if the hammer was shifted from 10 feet away.

Humans and animals (excluding Reyner himself) are extremely difficult and draining to shift. Other magic users are immune to being shifted.

Retinue: Reyner’s company is made up of his three most trusted allies. Goblin sisters Golga and Gotha serve as his intermediaries with the nearby goblin tribe. Both are daughters of the former chief and hold a lot of sway as a result. Though less respected in human politics, the two have the charisma and daring to work on that front as well.

The third follower is the prince’s most trusted retainer, Ulrich. He’s a dutiful knight who is moderately capable in combat, but especially useful in managing the supplies and accommodations on long journeys.

History: Reyner was a bastard child who’s birth was the result of a royal excursion (drunken or otherwise) with a heretofore unknown woman. He was not known or recognized as a member of the royal lineage until very recently. He grew up around the Wheelton Village area, which sits in Havelan right against the border to The Goblin Confederacy.

Goblin outlaws and thieves were a constant problem in the area, and frequently harassed the local population.

Reyner’s upbringing is not well known, but it clearly entailed a lot of difficulty and strife, which was not uncommon for the area. He first rose to prominence three years back, at a time when the neighboring goblin tribe was becoming increasingly aggressive and pushing out more into Havelan. With Wheelton being seen as a largely inconsequential town in the middle of nowhere, it was widely disregarded by houses Arenar and Harstein both.

The most reported tale indicates that the neighboring goblin tribe leader lead a personal assassination of the presiding lord of Wheelton. The chief was then betrayed by his own tribe members who saw his actions as a potential affront to the Tenets and sought to avoid retribution. Reyner came forth at this time and revealed the magic of the royal bloodline, leveraging the tenets to seize the vacant lordship. He was met with reverence and skepticism both, being a man of few years and no renown.

Reyner quickly silenced his detractors when his diplomatic and lawful approach to the region’s troubles proved highly successful. His most notable accolade was a treaty with the previously adversarial goblin tribe that formed an agreement between the goblins and Wheelton to ensure safe passage on all established roads and certain parts of the forest. Through joint patrolling and checkpointing was nurtured a far more peaceful and safe environment than before.

Due to the improved conditions, more resources could be extracted from the lush surrounding forests, and the village thrived as a result. Furthermore, criminals caught in the new security net were penalized with service helping to pave the region’s roads, which quickly came to be known the nation over for their quality and safety.

Eventually word of Reyner’s royal claims reached the capital city, and he came to be quietly confirmed as a member of the Arenar family. Due to his illegitimate nature and the unknown identity of his now-dead mother, his confirmation was neither grandiose nor politically celebrated.

Other: Reyner has scarcely left Wheelton and would be almost entirely unfamiliar with any of his siblings.

Name: Princess Evalyne Arenar - Goes mainly by Eva, and the family she's on good terms with generally call her Evvie; public refers to her as "the Young Princess"
Age: 30 (Born 1864)
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Parentage: Legitimate (Queen Emilia)

Occupation: Hunter for the village of Reyalia

Greatest Desire: Prevent Prince Roland from becoming the heir
Greatest Fear: Becoming the heir - not only does she think herself inadequate for the job, but she also dreads that, whether she deserves it or not, that position has nothing to do with her aptitudes

Appearance: Compared to her siblings, Eva would be described as relatively plain looking. This was quite a disappointment to her family and the general public; they had anticipated her becoming a renowned beauty like her mother. The only hint of her royal provenance would be her hair - shoulder length when kept down with a slight wave, in a deep burgundy color except for a small portion of pure white which she keeps in a braid across the front of her face.
Her eyes are a soft tone of blue, and her facial features generally unremarkable except for some prominent scars. Two vertical slashes cut across the left side of her face from brow to cheek, miraculously leaving her eye untouched. Both intersect with a faded horizontal scar on her left cheek, inflicted by Roland in a training duel. Finally, a vicious claw mark cuts diagonally on the right side of her jawline. Except for the old dueling scar, most of these have been added in the past few years.
She stands quite tall at about 5' 11" (180 cm). Although she was only fit growing up, she would these days be described as toned, and her body is marked with small nicks and scars, noticeably on the arms and hands.

Attire: When young, she had a taste for fine clothes, but no longer enjoys such luxuries. These days, she wears practical clothing: simple cloth shirts and pants in grey and brown, which give her easy mobility, and a dark cloak and cowl to protect from the elements and prying eyes.

Equipment: Bow and quiver of arrows kept on her back, dagger at her right hip and in her right boot. All of these are of fine quality, but they have not been produced by the exquisite craftsmanship available to the royal family.
Magic: Eva has an uncanny knack for finding things. It wasn't until around age 13 that the king's advisors realized that this talent exceeded mortal capabilities and was an expression of her magical aptitude. She can locate objects and creatures, even across great distances. The fidelity of the sense of location is greater when its target is closer to her, whether in familiarity or distance. For instance, she knows exactly where her personal effects are down to the dresser drawer, even if they've been moved from the particular dresser drawer she set them in, but if asked to discover the location of some ancient treasure, she would require some research before she could even begin to sense it, if at all. This capacity often makes her a better tracker than the king's best hunting dogs; give her a sign of the target, and she can find it.
She also can always sense compass directions.

Retinue: Eva no longer has a retinue, though she had a few confidants in the past, a few of whom may still be in the capital.
Only one of her bodyguards from the expedition, Lord Theren of House Jonelis, is still alive; the other died of natural causes a year or two ago.
She also had a lady in waiting by the name of Lady Sibilla Sommer, from a noble house in Havelan.
What either of them are up to, Eva is unaware, though it wouldn't take her much effort to at least find them.

History: For most of her life, Eva lived in the shadow of her brothers Flynn and Roland. While she did well enough in her studies, she could never seem to capture the attention of the public and king's advisors like either of her brothers.

Around her eigth birthday, she started taking combat lessons from Dalhover im Bart von Württemberg and from the beginning had a natural aptitude for archery. When her mother, whom she was very close with, died in 1873, Eva was about nine years old, and was inconsolable for the better part of a year. This did not endear her to the advisors, and gave them cause for worry when she didn't develop magic at the usual time. Roland was already starting to favor his magic when she gained access to magic at all; when she discovered her aptitudes seemed to be for death and Roland's magic, she decided to forego her magical heritage almost entirely, performing no more magic than the general spells available to all those of royal blood. It wasn't for a while later until the advisors realized that she had developed a magical talent of her own, and after that realization she took to it as diligently as her archery.

Much of her late teens was uneventful. After Flynn left for adventuring, and Roland not long after, she finally got from the advisors some of the recognition she long sought, but she came to resent it shortly. Not only did it seem to have nothing to do with her, it carried expectations - at one of the balls she had to attend, she overheard from her childhood friend Barbara, Dalhover's daughter, a rumor that someone in the royal court was aiming to marry her off, which she had no intentions of doing at the time.

Finally in 1887 at age 23, she was given the opportunity to go on an expedition for a lost artifact, a notable reliquary, after spending years tracking down obscure texts of lore on its subject. When she could finally start to sense a minute understanding of relative proximity - am I closer? maybe a little bit now - she was authorized to travel to search for it. While she was traversing a trail with a dangerous cliff, she saw her opportunity - she lost her footing and slid down the cliff-face. She had noticed a relatively forgiving section of cliff, and while most of her equipment was ruined, she was left without any permanent injury beyond some scars; though without quick thinking and her magic, she might not have survived to make it to the nearest town.

She was able to get a little medical aid there, and managed to avoid search parties around town and on her way out. She eventually settled in Reyalia, and has lived there for the past 7 years as one of the village hunters. When she sensed that all of her family members seemed to be gathering in the capital, she knew she had to go as well, though she knew it might be difficult for her.

Other: If I disappear off the face of the earth, the threadmaster can, by divine right, claim ownership of the character.
Eva is bisexual and biromantic. Most of the family either knows or supposed as much; the public is completely unaware.
Once Roland's magic is known to us, I will update my history to include reference to it.
