History

The Faracan Family was once large, prosperous and well-liked. They were a minor Noble family whose manor was somewhere on Atamara. One day, an Uncle of Screndt, screndt2 and Fetz took the three cousins out on a long hunting trip. The children were 7, 6 and 5 respectively. During this hunting trip, the Uncle was mortally wounded by a boar. Once the Uncle had died, the children buried him and started travelling back to their family's manor. Upon arrival there, they learned that it, along with the rest of the village, had been stricken by a plague and none survived.

They went to the next nearest village and the Nobleman there found houses at which the children could be raised.

Screndt

Screndt was raised in Perdan. He quickly rose through the ranks and became the Duke of Aix. This is a position that he has held for (whatever 4 years is in game-time). He has taken very few hiatuses. Some due to greivous wounds. Of note, one was due to a failed coup attempt by Das Zwei and Mr Rotten Treats II. Another one of note was the succession of Partora and the creation of winterfell. To help Perdan, he became a Noble of winterfell, helped overthrow the government and took Rulership of the realm to allow Perdan to take it back over.

His thoughts are controlled by his concept of honour. He despises peasants and thinks of them as cattle. He once met up at a family meeting in Beluaterra with his cousins and despises them as well. One is an honourless rogue and the other is a bleeding-heart peasant-lover.

screndt2

screndt2 was raised in Hasland. When he became of age, the realm was in dire straights. It was beset by Norland and Southasland as well as Tuchanon II and in its final days. screndt2 gained much honour and prestige fighting for this dying realm and was thrust into the position of Duke of York and Judge of Hasland (due to him having the highest prestige in the realm) at an extremely young age. He did well in the fight, but the only way the fight could have been won was through diplomacy. Diplomacy failed and Hasland fell. At this time, screndt2 travelled to Beluaterra. In Beluaterra, screndt2 joined the great realm of Enweil where he quickly rose through the ranks and became the Duke of Fheuvenem, a position he would hold for (whatever 3 years is in game-time). During his time in Enweil, he has held all major positions save for Judge. He was visited by avatars and founded the Eretzism religion.

Fetz

Fetz was raised in Darka. He led one of the most successful battle groups in the realm, though he never held a titled position. The life of the mercenary ate at his conscience and he had to leave. He chose to move to RedSpan. He gained the Dukeship of Sullenport and held it until it was finally taken in a war against Tara. He made a valiant attempt at saving it, holding off an army of 20K CS attempting a takeover for over three weeks veritably single-handedly (the only other help that was available was new nobles showing up and battling the 20K CS army). With the fall of Sullenport and RedSpan being reduced to a shell of its former self, Fetz decided to move to the South West Island. Here he commanded Ikalak as its General and its Ruler. A spy in their midst eventually led to Ikalak's destruction and Fetz returned to Atamara, choosing to live in the Caligan Empire. He visited RedSpan and found it to be inhabited by barbarians that worshipped goats. Nothing of what RedSpan stood for remained. Due to Abington's war with Tara, he became a spy for Abington in his time there as, after seeing what had become of his beloved RedSpan, his hatred for Tara was all-consuming. Fetz became an infiltrator and was banned from CE after a failed attempt on Tara's ruler's life. He joined Abington and has been fighting there ever since. With Abington's peace with Tara, along with their much-reduced income, Fetz has very little loyalty to Abington left. He is good friends with the Arch Priest there and that is one of the only things that keeps him in Abington. He was sent to infiltrate the Black Mamba and was relaying information for some time to the Ruler of Abington and its Arch Priest. But the lure of gold overcame him and in doing jobs "to gain trust", he eventually took jobs for the gold with honour and reason left laying in the pool of blood of his latest victim.

Péché

Péché is the bastard daughter of screndt2. She was conceived during screndt2's time in Hasland. upon reaching the age of 20, Péché set out for Beluaterra to find the father that had been the Duke of York. She didn't know his family name and still does not. She has taken up the occupation of adventurer while she searches for her father on the island. Her chances of finding him are dismal as she does not know his name, or what he looks like. Her only information is that he was Duke of York 20 years ago (game time). This information is not all that helpful on a different continent to someone who deals with other commoners. One time, she did arrive in Fwuvoghor and visited the Temple of Eretzism there. It was not the only Temple she visited and she didn't know how close she was to meeting her father.

Her adventuring career was profiting and rather short. In a mere 6 months and 14 days, she became a Noblewoman. In the process, she had 5 items crafted and took one off a dead monster's body. She sold three for gold and recommendations, gave one to her adventuring friend, Korkut, and kept two for herself so that she may gift them to her father when she finally finds him.
