Description:

At first glance, Falkor may look like your average passerby. He's unusually tall, around 6'6", he's thin – just another lanky citizen serving the world. His hair is messy and black, partially shadowing his eyes, and he has a sleek and slender face. He has a chiseled, square jaw, a narrow nose, and very shallow cheeks. Most of the time, that face is painted with a firm, straight expression. He doesn't smile much, nor does he look very friendly. The man just looks like a stranger on the sides of the streets that doesn't want to be talked to. Of course, it is somewhat true.

The olisthir's eyes are shockingly blue. They're vibrant and stick out from underneath his black hair. A small trace of green can be found within them if you look hard enough, which is something you certainly do not want to do. From far away, they might just be the first thing you notice about him. His bright, cerulean blue eyes. Falkor certainly doesn't appreciate the brightness of his eyes. They lure in too many nosy strangers.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Alignment: lawful neutral
Religious Affiliation: holy
Likes: authority, being in command, being a king, Holly, Aria, Acerbus Umbra, Sabre and Dire, animals, quiet, beautiful women, sexual relations with beautiful women, running
Dislikes: vampires, Roxanna, feeling inferior, fat or obese people, grotesque women, physically imposing men, showing emotions, feeling vulnerable, depending on other people
Description:

Much like the rest of the world, Falkor's look matches his personality quite well. He doesn't like to be bothered, usually remains quiet, does not smile much, and is extremely serious. His typical attitude is inquisitive and skeptical to many things. Most of the time, he hasn't got a care in the world for what others have to say. The shapeshifter doesn't enjoy idle or deep conversations, and simply prefers to be left alone.

As King of Verfall, he obviously takes his role very seriously. Every action he takes upon Verfall is looked at with great detail to ensure it will only be a win-win situation. He doesn't need opinions from others, and the citizens of Naktis are proud of him. Noctzar has gifted him with intelligence to accompany his craftiness and elusiveness. However, there is another side to him, very few are unlucky enough to see.

As a shadowstepper, Falkor's heart is naturally icy, like the coldest region of Krymo Zahrada. However, a chilled fire burns within it when he's enraged. Unlike his long lost sibling, he does not deal with rage in a visible way. If you anger him, it builds in his eyes. You can see it. He does not take action just yet, though. He waits for an opportunity to strike, and strike hard. This is how Falkor gained the nickname from few others as the Opportunist. Watch his vengeful fire, and you shall be safe.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Height: 5' at the withers
Weight: 800 lbs
Physical Build: lean
Description:

Black like the night, Dire is an immense wolf covered in a cloaking shadow. He resembles a raven, with silky, shiny black fur with a bluish sheen to it. His muzzle is dotted with silver hairs, complementing his evening persona. The wolf's eyes gleam and glow an eerie, hypnotizing yellow. His fangs are a pearly white, and his claws are dark like a crow.

Physically, the dog is built for speed. He is lean and carries a lot of endurance in his plunging chest cavity, fit for huge lungs to carry a large air capacity. Dire can run for a very long time and never get tired; conversely, he can run very fast for only a short time. These two qualities come rare among any species based on the anatomy of muscle use.

Dire's fur is long, necessary to keep in warm in the cold world of southern Pertinax. It is particularly long around his neck, giving him a mane and a lionlike appearance. The onyx dog has very tall ears with fur tufts at the top, enhancing his hearing abilities. He has a short but fluffy tail. Some consider him to be a big, fluffy puppy because of his unusual quantities of extra skin and long fur and his enormous size: the wolf is the size of a small horse, standing 5'0 at the withers.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Alignment: lawful good
Likes: making friends, friendly people, kind feelings, Falkor, Holly, Renji, guarding his master, being a part of Acerbus Umbra
Dislikes: anger, unnecessary violence, prejudiced people, propaganda, arrogance
Description:

Dire is a humble, loving wolf. He's very kind and very just, seeing it reasonable to be so because everyone deserves a chance. Most of the time he's very understanding, and as such, he makes a great listener and a great friend. Dire's good at reassuring people and making them feel better, and he likes to be there for people when they need him.

Sometimes his immediate trust and kindness toward others can be a disadvantage, as his misjudgment can ultimately lead to his own demise. He has trouble realizing that not everyone is going to be as friendly as he is.

Despite his kind disposition, Dire can be fiercely protective of Falkor and Sabre. If one so dares to threaten his family, he's not afraid to bear his fangs, give a snarl, and shred you to bits. He should not be underestimated in the same way he tends to overestimate strangers upon meeting them.

Dire is often considered the good cop in his duo with Sabre.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

Dire, as a puppy, was owned by an awful woman. She treated him terribly and abused him. He wasn't fed enough, and he almost died of dehydration. As he grew up and gained strength, he started to lash out at his evil mistress who kept him locked up in an outdoor enclosing.

As a result, she shackled his wrists and ankles and kept him chained to the metal fence. All he could do was try to bite her and bark and howl. He nearly died at this age, an adolescent. He would have, too, had King Falkor not come along and saved him. In the beginning, Dire was untrusting of the man, but Falkor taught him that not everyone is as evil as the woman who almost killed him. This resulted in Dire over-trusting people who do not deserve it.

His current master saved his life, and Dire feels he cannot repay him enough for that.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Height: 4'8" at the withers
Weight: 800 lbs
Physical Build: very muscular
Description:

Sabre is very different than Dire. She is extremely muscular, build for brute strength and force rather than running. Her limbs are well-defined and make excellent blunt weapons, with or without claws. She has strong shoulders and strong haunches, both of which do allow her to run fairly fast, but not fast like other wild cats.

She has an aureate pelt of gold and ivory, gold on the top and ivory below. It's thick like a lynx's but the color of a lion's. As the gold fades to ivory, her shoulders and haunches have slightly darker spots, as they are white like the moon on the inside. She has white paws, too, but a black tail tip, as a stripe of black runs from her head down her back straight to her short, stubby tail tip. Her brilliantly green eyes are dramatically outlined in black.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Alignment: lawful neutral
Likes: being in charge, respect, protecting Falkor, protecting the kingdom, victory
Dislikes: defeat, arrogance, losing control of her anger, when Falkor is angered or distressed, upsetting Dire
Description:

Sabre is a snarky shecat with a huge temper and a lot of arrogance. It's best not to bother her.

She's not afraid to tell you her brutally honest opinion, and she actually likes to, but only if it's critical. She tends to look down on everyone in Verfall and all the other provinces, as she is the royal cat to one of the four kings in the whole Osoan Empire. Not many other cats get to share that right, and she knows it. She spits on the underclass, and she shakes her head at beggars and peasants.

Sabre is incredibly overconfident. She tends to think she's bigger, better, badder, and stronger than she actual is, though this often leads to fools testing her strength. She often ends up whooping their asses, but every once in a while she'll get an opponent who's truly the stronger warrior. She loves battles and competition and winning and tends to participate in them underground. Sabre just loves victory, and she'll fight anyone of any race. Ailours are her favorite, though.

You must watch out for Sabre when her fuse has been ignited. She is prone to bouts of extreme anger, something that is awoken without much difficulty. When she is blind with rage, she has difficult differentiating friend from target, and she has a tendency to attack anything that moves as a release.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
Sabre was adopted at a pet store by Falkor when she was just a little cub.
