The Shadow-Stalker Family
Many years ago the Shadow-Stalker family was a small, farming family. With son, after son, after son farming the great estate in the region of Tolhaur in Atamara. But with the wars of Darka their farming grew worse, and with less money they decided that their children should make their fame and money in the army.
Twinblade
The oldest of the Shadow-Stalker children. Currently serving the kingdom of Darka in Atamara
The most violent of the family, for Twinblade, killing is all he needs to do. If the orders he follows means he will be able to kill more, then he will leap at it and seize the chance with both hands. He is - in effect - a simple soldier, follow orders, strife to do better, hope to be rewarded, follow more orders. More recently, he has developed some sense of humour - mainly from being around General Herumor too much on the front lines.
Twinblade has only been on one major campaign in his time as a mercenary - aiding Darka's army fight for Tara against Redspan and their allies.
Twinblade cares very little for each of his sisters, just knowing that they are alive is all he needs to know about them.
Poison
The second Shadow-Stalker child, Currently serving the feudal republic of Lasanar in the Far East.
Poison is the more vocal of the three, and in being vocal it has earned her some notice in Lasanar. She often has an input with any and all arguments within Lasanar, and will usually push for her answer to be the accepted one. She cares deeply for everyone, but especially those who she sees as her friends. Due to her love of the people of Lasanar, she has dedicated herself to being a beurocrat and to help out people when needed.
Poison's career started in the dying republic of Batesaor, and as a soldier there she witnessed many things that a seventeen year old should never see. She saw murdering of peasants, the burning of houses, much violence in battle and even the death of Batasaor's General during the final stand in the city of Batasaor. After being captured in battle and held in Nighthelm prison's for a week she returned to what was once a great city, but she saw only a burning shell of brick. The city had been burnt to the ground, the peasantry killed, and the noble of Batasaor had left to join other realms. Putting her past behind her she went through Nighthelm and to Lasanar, which she now calls home. She was eventually given the honour of being duchess of Ozrat, the capital city of Lasanar. But after only a few weeks she was captured by insurgents and her position removed. (OOC: paused).
After only a few days in Lasanar Poison found a love - Lucious. Lucious was a kind man, and he often treated Poison to many gifts. He cared for her deeply, and they were to be married, but on one foul night Lucious was taken and was never to be seen again.
After a few months, Poison found a new love - Luna. He was a strange man, one who shared Poison's love of arguing for a cause, they often shared arguments on certain subjects, arguing with each other and sometimes against. Luna was a more subtle man than Lucious and often invited Poison to dinner or a stay in his mansion. They were getting on very well - although slower than Poison and Lucious were - but during Poison's capture Luna saw other women, and upon Poison's return he had disappeared to an unknown place (although letters found by Poison pointed to him being with another woman). At that point she cast all memories of him into the wind and decided to stay away from men until she could trust them with her heart.
Poison's career has been the biggest sucess out of the three, after just a week of being in Lasanar she was trusted enough by Rosalind, countess of Attlel, to look after the region while she went away and thought about the situation Lasanar was in. And so, she was made countess of Attlel. She loved the region dearly and decided to dedicate her life to the realm, so shortly after being made countess she put away her sword, and picked up the pen instead to become a beurocrat. After months of work she was made Duchess of Ozrat, something which she was overwealemed at, promising the make the city the best it could ever be.
Poison dispises her borther, she is apposed to killing yet that is all Twinblade does. She does however admire Allyah as she serves somethign which she believes in, and is able to form and hold her own views - however religiously strange they may be.
Member of the Adgharhin Way and builder of the Oasis Temple in Nbasah
Allyah
The third Shadow-Stalker child, currently residing in the Theocracy of Alowca in the Colonies
Allyah is the religious side of the family. She is known to pray many times a day to the Gods of Alowca, and even insists that all her troops have some religious background in them. Anything she does is always in the name of the Trinity.
In her life she has only ever visited five regions, four of these belonging to Alowca and the other was on a secret mission to gain scoutings for the Alowcan army - although she failed and was placed in prison for a week in Oritolion prisons, and was treated as nothing, being given one meal every two days nad kept in complete darkness.
Allyah wishes to hold only the positions which put her in contact with the Trinity (Hiruspex Maximus, Paladin Primus, and Pontifex). But her main dream is to become a priest and to serve the Trinity for the rest of her life, spreading the faith and convertng others to it.
She was recently made the leader of Denariel's Mace battle group, a task which she took up with pride, as it meant serving Denariel with all she can, and leading others in her name.
She cares deeply for both her siblings, she prays for them and hopes that they make the right descisions in their life, whatever it may be.

- Denariels Star: Hero of Alowca
Lady Allyah, is the first to receive the coveted Denariel’s Star and the blessing of Denariel herself. While conducting scout operations against the enemy beyond the borders of Oritolon, in the region of Grentzen, Lady Allyah was surrounded and outnumbered by enemy forces but refused to order her unit to surrender. Due to overwhelming odds, in spite of her brave resistance, she was captured by those enemy forces and imprisoned. Throughout her captivity, Lady Allyah retained her faith in the Trinity and told her captors nothing more than the will of the Three during her time interred in their prisons. Her example of faith and courage is a credit to the peoples of Alowca and the Alowcan military service.

Althalus
The youngest child of the Shadow-Stalker family. Currently in The Democratic state of Mesh in Beluaterra.
Althalus has always been a reckless guy, and in his childhood he often seeked out dangerous places just for the thrill of being there. At the age of fifeteen, he turned this passion into a hobbie, and started to seek out lairs of dangerous animals, or spend time in haunted graveyard - and on occasion, he would get more than a few scratches from monsters and undead.
Two years passed, and his father grew more and more annoyed at Althalus. While the other children were out honouring the families name, Althalus was stuck at home playing in graveyards and out in the woods with animals and monsters. So, Althalus was thrown out of the family mansion, he was given no money, no personal guard, nothing to honour himself with. And so, the only thing he could do was to follow his dream - become a monster hunter, a great adventurer of the world. And there was only one place a true monster/ undead hunter could go - Beluaterra.
After some time in Beluaterra Althalus teamed up with a woman named Vi. She took him under her wing (as well as many other adventurers) and together they formed "The 10". They currently reside in Creasur in a manor known as The 10 Den.
