Faction Immortal
Name Manu (real name)
DOB & POB 509 BCE; Patthar Garh, Persia; today Fars Province, Iran
Occupation owner of a variety of companies, occasionally takes part in their business
that’s the story that went around, but here’s the real low-down
Bio Command, usually known by the rank to all but a selected few, has been the leader of the Shadows in Europe for quite a while. Charismatic and eloquent, she has this attractive aura that draws you into her orbit effortlessly. With a mysterious vibe and a certain level of natural dedication that establishes authority, Command can easily leave you in awe with little to no words or actions. An amazing strategist who has a value of her private life and private time, she is the natural-born leader unafraid to get her hands dirty – if she had you gawking while standing still, you’ll most likely fall a bit in love when you see her in action. Not many things are known about Command's history, but rest assured she is familiar with all the information she needs about everyone on their team. Intelligent and observant, Command often feels cold and detached but is a refined diplomat and an enlightened task-focused individual.
Relationships She has a tight relationship with her second-in-command, Evelyn, they are brutally honest with each other and very respectful at the same time. Close to Egon and Elia. Normally gets into debates with Amyas, who seems to be openly defying her. Friendly terms with the rest of the group; usually shows fondness of the recruits.
Appearance Command is 168cm tall, with a feminine build, but physically stronger than you’d think. She has green eyes and a luscious head of hair. She’s normally walking around in rich coloured dresses, looking as enchanting as she is.
Trivia Command is one of the most secretive people you'll meet: her name is seldom mentioned and only within the close circle, her age is not the matter for discussion and you can't guess her heritage from her accent or features: she likes to keep it like this – the one thing you might find out eventually is that she’s one of the original immortals (& Immortals, too). Adores spending time in nature, loves non-scheduled activities and being creative about things. Needless to mention she speaks many, many languages (some dead, some active).
Evelyn
FC Michah Gianneli
Faction Immortal
Name Evelyn Naora Reid (now); Evelina Romanova (originally)
DOB & POB sometime in 1797, somewhere on the outskirts of Europe, between Russia and Baltic sea
Occupation freelance marketing strategist, brand and change advisor
I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
Bio Evelyn Reid might just be the best person to have when you're a leader: and Evelyn knows it very well. She is a clever woman, very aware of everything that surrounds her, loves to have power, but never too power-hungry to ruin things for her. She's highly disciplined and determined, with a keen sense for details and people alike. Well-spoken, quick on her feet and good when it comes to diplomatically stir things her way, Evelyn is a dependable person you can count on when you need to do so. She's a perfectionist, she dislikes doing things half-heartedly and highly dislikes slackers. Evelyn is insanely self-assured, rarely putting her sense of worth outside herself. Evelyn runs the majority of things within Shadows, in an organized and efficient manner. She's outgoing and social, but with a particular crowd although she tries to keep up with the appearance of getting along with everyone well.
Relationships Very close to Command, it's been a long-term and very honest friendship for them. Elia is her ex-husband, they've been on good terms since their divorce, but maintain the whole thing under wraps. Good terms with most people on the team, applying her no-bullshit strategy to everyone.
Appearance Evelyn is 162cm tall, with elongated, wiry muscles underneath. She’s physically strong and agile. Evelyn cuts her black hair short, slicked back and her entire appearance is very cool-looking, fashionable and always on point.
Trivia She is called Evelyn by everyone but Command, who calls her Egg. Evelyn is fluent in various languages, including Japanese, English, and Italian. Evelyn is one of the rare people recruited on foreign territory and by none other than Command herself. She gained her immortality during the Napoleonic Wars.
Amyas
FC Alen Kolbas
Faction Praetorian
Name Amyas X. Renard (the only name you’ll know)
DOB & POB spring of 70 AD; London, UK (but back then, known as Londonium in Brittania, part of the Roman Empire)
Occupation Founder & CEO of “Xavier”, and history professor at the University of Berlin
don’t you ever tame your demons, but always keep’em on a leash
Bio Amyas Renard is a man you would most likely notice in a crowd: he is always dressed well, groomed well, and normally has a vibe that can easily turn heads. He's a man who is used to luxury and finer things in life, as he likes to say himself: he enjoys good food, good wine, good company, and a good bit of fun. He is eloquent and sharp; his interests and skills are very versatile. He's been through a lot in his life, taking the experience to transform himself into the man he is right now - the man happy with himself, the man he likes. Amyas is an influential man with the ability to pull strings very subtly, very collected, and the type you'd like to have around when things go to hell: he normally seems to have a calm solution for just about everything.
Relationships Close to Leon. Has a soft spot for Sierra, he enjoys her company. Friends with Evelyn. Very fond of Nad. The one person who frequently (and openly) opposes is Command.
Appearance Amyas is 188 cm tall, with an average, but strong build. He’s had years of training and it shows. Normally, he’s always looking as if he’s attending an event, and he carries himself the same way. Normally, he sports a bald head and a beard and wears sunglasses on most occasions.
Trivia As you can probably tell, Amyas is part of the original Praetorians: there’s a couple of them left in the world, and he is the only one in Europe. Amyas works as a professor at the University of Berlin while owning a well-known brand in Germany since he’s been living there for a while now.
Elia
FC Rodrigo Santoro
Faction Jaguar Warrior
Name Elia Odescalchi
DOB & POB sometime in 1614; undisclosed location in New Mexico, US
Occupation no one really knows, actually
bright eyes of the solstice, wherever your mind is, headed for a freight train city
Bio One of the longest-lasting members of the Shadows, even if no one knows how that's possible, Elia is eccentric and to say the least: moody, extreme extrovert who slips into episodes of extreme introversion at times, takes no shit from anyone and can at times come off as extremely violent and notoriously unpredictable. Then, at other times, his softer side comes out and his intellect shines through, turning him into a charismatic, hard-to-resist man with a silver tongue. During those times, you'll be lucky to have met Elia - he cares for people unconditionally, he gives himself entirely and the only trouble is that you won't know when it all stops - but, in the end, no one does. He's got quite a reputation for burning bridges and then rebuilding them (with more or less success) and diving into things relying only on his intuition.
Relationships Close to Command and Sierra. Evelyn’s ex-husband, although he seldom talks about it. Normally gets bored by the recruits soon after their arrival.
Appearance Elia is 185cm tall, with a muscular, strong build, in great shape. He’s surprisingly agile considering he is not the leanest of the bunch. He has a couple of tattoos that he doesn’t mind showing on the right occasion.
Trivia Elia was born into a family of an Italian settler and an indigenous American woman, experiencing his return late in life. He fled to Europe soon after but returned and spent a great portion of time travelling South America with Command’s blessing, trying to (re)connect with his roots. During the time, he took part in Che Guevara’s travels and took off after the assassination took place.
Egon
FC Marwan Kenzari
Faction Visha Kanya
Name Egon Kestner
DOB & POB April 6[sup]th[/sup] 1525; Nuremberg, Holy Roman Empire, but spent most his life in St. Petersburg, Russia
Occupation art collector and dealer
paint it black
Bio Born in an aristocratic family with a very eccentric history, Egon comes from a good upbringing which ended in a tragedy resulting in him being left the only heir early in life. He's very private, doesn't share things about himself easily and he hasn't truly let people in for a while now. He's not someone who would take the fall for another person: still, he's gutsy in a way that makes him reckless, and in disregard of his life. He really dislikes childish behaviour, has little patience for others and he's usually keeping a serious, even hostile front. He is disciplined but really bad at taking orders. Egon is observant and has a strategic mind. He isn't exactly hot-headed, but during his impatient moments, he's been known to snap, unpredictably, and sometimes in a fit of rage. He's keen on proving people otherwise but likes the sense of belonging to a group.
Relationships Close to Command, and recently his recruit, Raven, who also made him reconsider his distaste in Filip. Has unlikely friendship with Eris. Likes to spar with Leon and Amyas.
Appearance Egon is 190cm tall, with a lean build. He’s wearing his thick dark hair short, normally has a light beard and normally dresses in a way you wouldn’t remember seeing him: on the elegant side, but without standing out.
Trivia His closest friend, Sol, went missing during a mission a year ago, and it left him in a very distraught state of mind. Egon has a big collection of art, some of which included him in it. He loves spending time in Russia during the winter, shacked up in a cabin up north.
Eris
FC Mina El Hammani
Faction Samurai
Name Eris Asena
DOB & POB May 19th 1989.; Istanbul, Turkey
Occupation tattoo artist
if I don't get out of this town I just might be the one who finally burns it down
Bio Fearless and violent can be quite a dangerous combination but with Eris' self-discipline and intelligence, it's a winning combination instead. Growing up in an emotionally distant family, she learned quite early in life how not to get attached to things, places, people. She doesn't see an issue with it and believes reason should always come above emotions. She's not scared of speaking her mind yet remains some kind of politeness - or just keeps silent if her words will not bring a solution or anything positive. Despite the cold exterior, Eris is more than capable of caring for people - she values her friends and thinks highly of them, she secretly loves to belong. Eris is competitive, somewhat jealous, and doesn't give respect easily. Late in her life, Eris became aware she has a step-sister, which affected her more than she believed it could: it shook her ability to trust entirely, and at the same time allowed her to see she can still be affected by others.
Relationships Closest to Filip, inexplicably friendly with Egon. Friends with Will, they gravitate in the same group - or used to. Close to Amyas, with whom she trained basically since her arrival, and Leon, her primary. Found new people she likes in Cailee, Riona and Raven. Doesn't know what to do with Luiza. Occasionally visits her mother, who moved to Istanbul a year ago, they have a good relationship.
Appearance Eris is 177cm tall, with a lean build, hiding the muscles under her delicate frame. She has thick curly hair she normally leaves to its natural devices. Eris loves to dress up on occasions but normally goes quite classic with her day-to-day outfits.
Trivia Eris initially believed she belonged to another faction, and it took her a while to come to terms with where she belongs to. She works as a tattoo artist, and she’s done a couple of Elia’s tattoos in the last 4 years.
Will
FC Maluma
Faction Varangian Guard
Name William Barnes
DOB & POB March 27 1964; unknown.
Occupation stuntman, specialized in vehicle stunts
as far as what I’m bringing to the table: I bring me
Bio Outgoing, very entertaining and charming, Will has always been the life of the party. He's a passionate guy who never seems to keep still, enjoying his life to the fullest. And for someone who is this out-and-about, a lot of people know very little (or virtually nothing) about him. He's curious and flirtatious, and it will be the winning combination when it comes to finding things out about you - he's one of those people you can open up to easily, and while he might not do much of this intentionally. He has a reputation as a player, but he has no bad intention - on the contrary, he's a loyal man with an extremely extroverted personality. Will enjoys actively spending time, no matter if it's playing sports, hiking or simply exploring. On weekends, you can mostly find him with his closest ones - either a great meal or a great party - and despite the wild night before, he'll easily pick up his trainers and go spend a morning at the park.
Relationships Closest to Filip, they share a real bond. Friends with Eris. Easily annoyed by Elia, even if he’s not keen on admitting that. Has recently starting to find himself falling for Cailee. Elodie is his ex.
Appearance He’s 185cm tall, with a well-defined, muscular build. He’s a chameleon when it comes to looks – loves to take time to dress up, he tends to switch up his hairstyle a lot and pays attention to what he looks like. Lately, it’s bleached hair and a well-groomed beard. Also, Will has a lot of tattoos – loves to show them, loves to get more.
Trivia Will was found by his primary, Louis, frozen, deep in a Norwegian forest in the winter of 1990, and sensing his energy, he brought him back to Berlin. Hiding from the crime he believed he committed, he assumed the identity of Chris, which was discovered recently as he was banished from the Shadows for a century.
Filip
FC Can Yaman
Faction Batavi
Name Filip Grgić (read: Grgich)
DOB & POB July 25th, 1965; Srebrenica, Bosnia & Herzegovina
Occupation consultant on most wine-related issues (from vineyard management to sommelier things)
so when your hope’s on fire, but you know your desire don't hold a glass over the flame
Bio Born in a rich family of winemakers, Filip has always been used to the hard life, despite growing up with many luxuries – he moved to a big city as a child, returning to his roots before the great tragedy struck his hometown. His immortality kicked in at the right moment, and he lived to tell the story. Filip is competitive and a risk-taker, and in combination with his determination, it comes to the point of recklessness. He doesn't lack energy and is usually on the go, enjoying his days. He will easily admit it when confronted, but his way of communication is open, direct, and uncensured, and can sometimes forget about what's good and bad. His actions can sometimes seem intemperate and explosive unintentionally. He's aware of his good looks, he's flirty and normally the type of people everyone loves to be around - he'll make you feel like you're part of the group and important effortlessly.
Relationships Closest to Will and Eris. Starting a relationship - he believes - with Raven. Close to, and protective towards his Batavis, Cailee and Riona. Friends with Amayas, he enjoys training with him and occasionally going out for a glass of wine. Loves to spar with Evelyn.
Appearance Filip is 200cm tall, with a very muscular and strong physique. He keeps his hair longer, normally with a beard, keeping up with recent trends. Day-to-day looks often include natural materials, classic combinations and a smile to wear with it. He has a small tattoo on the insight of his left ankle, the only connection to his roots.
Trivia He took time to rebuild the foundation for his vineyards after they were burnt down during the war, before vanishing from the area to keep his secret safe.
Sierra
FC Jessica du Gouw
Faction Jaguar Warriors
Name Sierra G. Amber (currently)
DOB & POB September of 1878; Dodge City, Kansas
Occupation unknown
‘till then I gotta learn to be a wiser fool
Bio Sierra is manipulative and sly, and she can sweet-talk you into anything while not considering the consequence. At a young age she realized you get more flies with honey than vinegar, she plays it to perfection. She comes from a rich family in Dodge City, where she had the audacity to shoot her husband. Sierra faced a trial, they hung her and soon after they left her body to rot, she was found by a wondering kindred spirit: Elia, who explained the situation. The idea took a serious toll on her psyche. She’s unpredictable: easily bored, impatient and changes moods from one minute to another, while at the same time maintaining her charm and allure. She gets by with a lot of things she is not willing to forget: she doesn’t get upset, she gets even. Sierra is a great actress and you can’t tell what’s on her mind. One thing she’ll tell you honestly is that she doesn’t care, and you should take that as a fact. She likes to have a good laugh and traces of her old self tend to come to the surface: jovial and loving.
Relationships Very close to Elia, her primary. Loves Amyas, they share a bond - she's the most honest with him. Used to have an ongoing crush on Evelyn. Got insanely protective over Luiza.
Appearance Sierra is around 170cm tall, with a feminine build. She’s pale and has dark luscious locks she normally keeps longer and untamed. Her looks vary from day to day or mood to mood, but she has a good sense of combining things one would normally not put together.
Trivia Sierra left her family at the age of 16, got married and was taken miles from her family, where she experienced her first return alone, which additionally broke her.
Leon
FC Godfrey Gao
Faction Samurai
Name Leon-Christopher Naderer (the name he took almost a century ago); real name kept to himself.
DOB & POB 1159; Funajima, Japan.
Occupation freelance financial consultant, CFO in one of Command’s companies
no matter how many lives that I live, I will never regret
Bio A highly respected member of his community and Shadows alike, Leon is a person you can count on. He's the kind of man who brings tranquillity and is in complete control: you want Leon come hell or high water. He has a rational outlook on life, he likes to do the best thing possible and normally balances this by taking small pleasures for himself. Life is about balance, for him, so don't think he doesn't have his fun, far from it. Leon spends his free time catching up on his favourite reads, visiting museums or travelling. He likes to spend his time in nature as well, but he has a curious streak that often takes him closer to more populated areas. He's a loyal person, naturally, and values relationships as something that should bring good into the lives of both sides partaking in one. Leon was born an illegitimate child, spending the majority of his life with his mother before she passed away before her time.
Relationships Close friends with Amyas. Protective over Eris and his recruit, Nad. Cannot possibly imagine getting along with Elia. Likes to spar with Egon.
Appearance Leon is 193cm tall, with a lean build, yet quite strong and very agile. He likes to keep his hair on the shorter side, tends to switch between beard and clean shave every month or so. His style is quite classic, always looks well-groomed and very professional.
Trivia Leon speaks a variety of languages and people often joke finance is the additional language he speaks.
Luiza
FC Nadia Hilker
Faction Jaguar Warrior
Name Luiza Cristina Carvalho Maia
DOB & POB February 14[sup]th[/sup] 1994; Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Occupation currently unemployed
they’ll know my name when they’ve forgotten all about you
Bio The first thing one might pick up from her behaviour is that Luiza is a smug girl. She's ambitious and calculated, oftentimes very cruel and bad-tempered, with a tendency for savage acts. Growing up with a single mother, she appreciates her loved ones to an extent, but always prioritizes herself and her own goals - she's also not quick to give her trust if she ever gives it at all. Life was often harsh on her, prompting her to be even more possessive and jealous than she normally is, and from time to time she might feel like she is gluttonous as well. In nature, she is bright and highly intelligent, but her impulsiveness seldom helps people see it. She stubbornly pushes herself to limits and is very competitive in all she does. Luiza can be seductive and mesmerizing, effortlessly orbiting men and women around her for fun, but normally does it to prove herself she can - she enjoys the power struggle a tiny bit more than she'll admit – but when she falls, she falls head over heels, yet once she’s done, the bridges are burnt and not to be crossed again.
Relationships Has love for her mother, has some kind of grudge against her father, which she has not transferred to Eris. She adores Sierra, has some weird things for Elia and occasionally sleeps with Gio.
Appearance Luiza is 170cm tall, with a feminine build and a strong body. She has a head of curly hair (often changing colour), and a very mischievous expression she often sports. Her style is eclectic, she’s not afraid to show off her curves and make an entrance when needed.
Trivia She’s been doing a lot of things to earn money, some legal, some illegal and she’s not ashamed of any of those, believing you should not judge people on account of things they had to do to survive.
Gio
FC Big Sean
Faction Praetorian
Name Adam Giorgos Lazaraou
DOB & POB November 13[sup]th [/sup]1988, Nicosia, Cyprus
Occupation football player at Hertha Berlin
I see what's mine and take it
Bio The only child of an American-Greek family, Gio has enjoyed his spotlight from a very young age. Gio might just be the all-star everyone (more or less) secretly aspires to be at a point in life. Whatever he decides to do, he seems to be efficient at it – almost effortlessly, although he is annoyed with how people tend to see the finish line, and nothing else. He can look at things with a clear mind, he is a critical thinker and aware of things. There's a manipulative bit of his personality that shines through when all other methods fail and prefer to subtly push buttons rather than going direct way, but he thinks of it as the balance of life, his way of rationalizing himself. Gio likes to protect those closest to him, despite coming off as hostile at times. He is a tiny bit shallow and tends to be nosey when he's interested in something, but he has enough control of himself to stop when it all starts to feel like too much.
Relationships Close to his primary, not super close to others in the team, but often bonds with Luiza. Close to his family, he visits them regularly. Friends with a few of his teammates and his manager.
Appearance Gio is 187cm tall, with a muscular build, and in peak conditioning. He’s a frequently featured guest of various street style portals, deemed as one of the best-dressed athletes in Berlin.
Trivia He speaks Greek, English and German, with a natural talent for languages. He’s fresh out of a public relationship, although it was not confirmed. He has a dog, shelter rescue, named Rockwell, after the actor.
Victor
FC Jon Kortajarena
Faction Janissaries
Name Victor Constantinescu
DOB & POB December 18th, 1987; Bucharest, Romania; lives in Berlin now
Occupation data architect
our hopes and expectations, black holes and revelations
Bio Victor is a resilient man, that's one thing many of his friends would tell you about him. He possesses this heroic quality to him which is appealing to most, a kind heart, dependable nature and innate fairness and integrity. He comes off as arrogant at times, and his self-discipline might be admirable to some, and intimidating to most – to him, it’s simply the way it is. Victor can sometimes come off as directionless, and perhaps his moral ground makes him feel intolerant at times, but he is aware of his shortcomings and is trying to handle them. Victor thought he had it all figured out early on, marrying his first love, only to have his world shaken when she passed away shortly after their marriage when they were 29. He was left confused, alone, saddened and it did not resonate with this warm personality he has: growing up in a large family made him kind, unafraid of showing affection and physical contact, even making him possessive when he finds someone he loved spending time with. He denies it, but those close to him claim he never really recovered.
Relationships Closest to his younger sister, Adriana. After his late wife, Alina, passed away, he hasn’t been in a serious relationship, focusing most of his time on work. He was close to his primary, Eemil, whose death left him devastated. He fell in love with Riona, whom he believes is emotionally unavailable which makes him think he should hold back on any other attempt to start anything more serious than a friendship.
Appearance Victor is around 195cm, with a well-defined body and a head full of unruly hair. He has this generally bright expression and energy that he often tries to tame, but he has the charisma that’s naturally attractive beyond looks.
Trivia Victor moved to Berlin before his 30[sup]th[/sup] birthday, he settled in quite nicely and he’s considering starting his own company. He has the most eclectic music taste and normally plays music all day.
Theo
FC Patrick O’Donell
Faction Praetorian
Name Theodor Thorup
DOB & POB October 30[sup]th[/sup] 1987; Maastricht, The Netherlands
Occupation concert pianist
would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
Bio Theo has always felt like he's a little bit out of place: at home, despite the love; in school, despite getting in on a scholarship; at his company, despite the fact he belongs in all the places he has touched. He's raised to be appreciative of what he has, to be creative and productive. He took up this approach and loves to spend time on self-improvement, thinking you can always do better. He loves art, culture, and architecture, often spending time visiting museums in places he travels to. Theo isn't very outgoing, but he is very well-spoken and educated, and always willing to gain a new perspective – he was raised a considerate, thoughtful person with a keen sense of justice. He’s also extremely self-disciplined, he thinks talent is otherwise useless. He's honest, perhaps too much at times, focused, and works well under pressure, usually following his gut instinct. Theo is protective, and often kind, but it takes him a while to warm up to people: once he does, he's a devoted individual capable of so much. Shy on the first look, Theo is just a slow-burn person who takes time to get to know.
Relationships Closest to his twin, Daan, who is a couple of minutes older and never lets him forget about it. He’s close to his family. He is closest to his primary and had a budding friendship with Cailee, but he's unsure where they stand right now.
Appearance Theo is 187cm tall, with an average build, and overall in good shape. He has naturally red hair and gains freckles if he spends too much time in the sun. He’s a classic dresser, always well-groomed and proper.
Trivia He’s been living in Berlin for 2 years now. He’s an overthinker by nature and normally tries to hide this fact from others.
Aslan
FC Çağatay Ulusoy
Faction Janissaries
Name Aslan
DOB & POB n/a
Occupation owner of several clubs, hotels, and houses around the globe
got a head full of lightning, a hat full of rain
Bio One of the original Janissaries, Aslan might be the least bit "old soul" out of all of the Originals. He's laid back, he is funny, he is rarely in a bad mood and he is an utterly amazing company. Don't make the wrong assumptions tho, the hard-working, almost mindless determination Janissaries were known for stuck with him: when it's work, it's work. But, when it's a party - it's a party all the way. He loves to see new things, meet new people and explore the world: most of his life he spent solo travelling around the globe, just wishing to see, experience, get familiar with, explore, discover - he has a curious mind. Normally, Aslan gets along well with everyone: he can handle a crowd as well as he can handle solitude, trying to keep a balance between the two. He is trustworthy and trusting, but once you betray his trust, he is done - he believes any man is worth as much as his word is. Ace is very artistically inclined and a great lover of music. He’s a hardcore rock fan, drummer, and normally has zero-tolerance for bullshit of any kind. Ace can still be one of the kindest people you’ll meet, even if it might not look like it at first glance.
Relationships Closest to Jacob, who was turned the same time he was. He is growing closer (in a few ways) to Riona, finding her childishness entertaining. He gets along with most people.
Appearance Tall, bulked and very muscular, Aslan might look intimidating, be this is the furthest from the truth. He has a kind smile, loves to dress in dark colours and simple lines.
Trivia He is a very talented drummer, and an extremely good musician in general: he has almost absolute hearing and can easily play any melody on guitar or drums.
Christopher
FC Zac Efron
Faction Batavi
Name Christopher Carrington
DOB & POB May 10th 1953, Rochester, NY, USA
Occupation currently, he is back at university, studying antrophology
I'm fallin' so I'm taking my time on my ride
Bio Despite what one might conclude by looking at this confident, self-assured man, Cristopher is reluctant to be here. To start at the beginning, he is a principled man with clear goals in his mind, good work ethics and absolutely no intention of living forever. When his primary found him, ages ago, on the verge of death, he saved him thinking Christopher would be happy to join the immortal life and shocked to find out the man was not thrilled to be there. He came to terms with what life meant, but everyone could see in his actions he was more than willing to die: taking up the assignments that were extremely dangerous most times. He got out of his state of mind eventually. He is flirty, he is very energetic and loves new activities and challenges, which is why he said yes to become a primary now. He is loving, passionate and knows what he wants, he is responsible and believes in teamwork.
Relationships He was close to his primary and other members of his original team. Christopher is on good terms with Evelyn and Command, but his respect for Filip brought him to Europe.
Appearance He enjoys experimenting with his looks - from clothes to hair. He is mostly sporting a beard. Christopher is tall, muscular and very agile - he was part of a track team back in his original high school days.
Trivia He enjoys spicy food and loves to experiment while cooking. He dislikes apartments, mostly renting houses along his way when he moves - a backyard is a must-have. Christopher owns a few horses on his ranch in Nevada.
Sol: unofficially here
FC Willy Cartier
Faction Nihang
Name Solomon
DOB & POB n/a, altho, supposedly both Egon and Command know
Occupation lover of life, as he likes to claim
magic, madness, heaven, sin
Bio Whoever meets Sol usually describes him as an indescribable experience. He is magical, impulsive, fun, spontaneous and pretty much like the sun. He was born and trained to be a vicious, cruel fighter - assassin - and for a moment, he was (and excelled in it), but the pleasures of life interested him infinitely more. He went a little bit overboard in seeking pleasures and his first return came after he was executed for various crimes (mostly sleeping with men and women he was not supposed to seduce). Once Sol got out, he went on a pleasure journey of the world. He falls in love quickly, passionately and deeply, and almost every time falls out of love as quickly: his longest relationship has been Egon, and before him, a woman who gave him a few children before she passed away. Sol is loyal and loving, but he has a hard time staying put: he loves new things, excitement and travelling.
Relationships Closest to Egon, his former lover. Friends with Command and Sierra, who he adores. He was in some kind of relationship with Lara, completely infatuated with her. He never got along with Leon, who was too boring for him.
Appearance His aura transcends his fashion style which is all over the place: chaotic, but somehow fits well together. He's tall and lean, with long dark hair and super deep eyes, freckles on his face and a lovely smile.
Trivia Sol's real name is Solomon, but his history is not something he shares: glimpses of his identity are visible in all he does, and supposedly he is a patron of museums that have art that depicts him or is dedicated to him.
Elodie: will be around
FC Zoë Kravitz
Faction Varangian Guard
Name Elodie Hunt
DOB & POB January 23rd 1934; Los Angeles, California
Occupation no one knows exactly
if a girl gets her cake and she eats it too?
Bio Born in a middle-class all-American family in the 30's LA, Elodie grew up with a mindset that differs from the one she has right now. Given she had her first return at the early age of 25, she learnt how to navigate the mindset she had and the one she got used to with time. She is all about liberties, about not paying much attention to anyone but herself. She is fearless, very competitive and oftentimes, violent - she believes in doing whatever to get what she wants. Elodie is also flirty and straightforward when she wants something (or someone), a firm believer in asking to receive. She loves to go out, have fun, travel and take various pleasures, but she is also loyal to the Shadows and without much doubt would go to extreme lengths to keep up with the integrity and safety of the team.
Relationships William (or Chris, as she knows him) is her ex-boyfriend, whose relationship was turbulent, passionate and it ended on the same note: she moved to Australia and he was not willing to come with her. She was close to Filip at the time, and friends with both Eris and Sol.
Appearance Elodie might be tiny, but don't let that fool you. She's a style chameleon, but she is never understated in her fashion language: she loves to dress up, and normally makes firm statements with her clothing style which can vary from soft, boho dresses to rock glam and more.
Trivia She had anger issues before, making her more volatile than most people on her team preferred, but she learnt to play with others well. She adores travelling, especially without a clear destination in mind.
Daan
FC Jan Aeberhard
Faction Visha Kanya
Name Daan Thorup
DOB & POB October 30[sup]th[/sup] 1987; Maastricht, The Netherlands
Occupation arechologist by education, works (& thrives) as DJ
I was born to run
Bio Daan grew up into a louder, more outspoken, more outgoing person than his brother is despite being brought up in the same circumstance. He's been very vocal about many social things, asking for change and equality, often participating in various movements, protests and such. Unlike most people his age, this left a bitter taste in his mouth and he concluded, very early on, that one does not change much playing it calmly, safely, nicely. He is determined and does not stop when his mind is set - it can be intimidating at times - still, he draws people in easily. Daan is no stranger to violence or putting himself on the line, but never without a strategy. He is sociable, easily liked, as he is charismatic and intelligent, unafraid of confrontation, but also unafraid to be kind to people, show affection. He might be blunt at times, but on most occasions is careful with his words. He trusts his gut, prefers practice over theory and believes that the end justifies the means. He's ambitious, yet loves to pace it to his taste: rarely anything is out of his control if he can help it.
Relationships Closest to Theo, his twin brother. Currently, in an open relationship with Marie, a girl he met at the college but keeps a couple of side flings around.
Appearance Daan is 188cm tall, with an average build, and overall in good shape. He has naturally red hair and gains freckles if he spends too much time in the sun. He has a very cool style and loves fashion (which shows).
Trivia He's easily bored and oftentimes distracted: while he is doing one thing, his mind is already at another. He's been openly bisexual since high school. He's a huge cat person.
James
FC Patrick Wilson
Faction Immortal
Name James H. Parker
DOB & POB January 11th 1975, Kansas City, USA,
Occupation Criminal Defense Lawyer
but all folks are damaged goods - it ain't a talk of if, just one of when and how
Bio Larger than life personality wrapped in a nice body with a mind that could talk you into anything - sounds like a dangerous combination, and he just might be one. James is smug, flirty and charming, he has so much energy it's hard to keep up and loves to experience just about everything. Witty and sharp-tongued, the profession of a lawyer (or, liar) suits him so well it feels like he is a naturally born criminal defence lawyer. He graduated with honours, in time, but most people who knew him in college did not know-how: he would skip no party, he would make it to all deadlines, he did internships...one might think it's talent and will, but he did add some drugs into the mix. Once he got out of college, found his first job and started to advance, he caved in to the pressure of settling down. Married by 30, divorced by 33, he is a father of one child he sees twice a year as he now lives in Germany while his ex remained in the US. James can easily sweep people off their feet, he can make it feel like you are the only person out there and at the same time not be present at all. He is a friendly guy, loyal to a default, never says no to a good time and has enough ambition to conquer whatever is in front of him.
Relationships Juliette, his ex-wife is not on good terms with him, but he loves to say he is on good terms with her. He has a daughter, India, who is 16 and disinterested in him. He is currently in some kind of relationship with a woman working with him, but he is not considering it as something serious.
Appearance He oozes old money vibes despite being very much a poster boy for rags to riches. He's shy over 185 cm tall, very athletic and in good shape.
Trivia He got himself a very bad reputation ages ago when he was still working in the United States for having absolutely no issue handling any kind of cases. He works out often, goes out often and generally loves to enjoy life to the fullest.

Disclaimer: Factions started as humans, mortals. At one point during the beginning, one of the soldiers belonging to the Immortals (Persian army elite) died and returned, really living up to the reputation and name. From that point on, more people belonging to the group did the same - not all - but enough to gain some momentum. Throughout the time, members of the other elite units/army groups (example Visha Kanya, Samurai, etc.) did the same: one or more of their members returned, developing the same set of skills, and factions were formed: the phenomenon of immortality appeared within another group, so they were called after the group where it appeared. Right now, everyone who joins the Shadow has immortality and belongs to one of the groups: they only recruit their own. So, for you, it means the following: you will be recruited by someone belonging to the same faction you have the dormant gene for, and should you accept their offer, you will be made immortal.
Take a look at FAQ and message me if needed.
Immortals
Established sometime before 500 BC, making them the oldest of the factions. The Immortals stared as an elite unit of the Persian army, legendary for many combat-related things, but known for the fact there was always ten thousand of them ready to fight, the new ones replacing the fallen ones…or so the story went. In reality, the Immortals lived up to their name. They have resurfaced a few times throughout history, in Sassanid and Byzantine Empire, and later on as part of Napoleon’s army. Not much is factually known about Immortals, other than their elusive powers, out of which precognition has made them valuable allies to many.
Nowadays, Immortals have changed quite a bit – their ranks have downsized, there's been a lot less of them and my members are normally highly intelligent individuals, strategists and natural-born leaders, with a distaste for the limelight. They take pride in their strategic efforts and have a good knack for human psychology.
Powers
Precognition They can foresee possible future events and observe what may happen, achieved through visions. Usually does strain their minds. They don't get the full context but have to decipher them. This is highly uncontrollable and unpredictable.
Chaos Manipulation Ability to manipulate probability and changing the outcomes, influence during chaotic times, etc. They are prone to succumbing to the same powers they are kind of wielding, sort of sending them into chaos they are creating mentally at times. Beginners have very little control over this.
Weakness Detection Ability to sense the weakness of almost anything: people, objects, and in advanced users even relationships, organizations, etc. Beginners can have sensory overload once they start, and they take a while to find the point. Requires considerable accuracy and strength to affect targets.
Genetic Memory Genetic memory is the collection of memories of one's ancestors that are passed down into subsequent generations through DNA, which can be tapped into, used and you can learn from it.
Ageing Immunity User is immune to the negative effects of ageing. With this power, one could have an overall strong body, no matter how old they are. Their condition does not deteriorate with age at all, and the user remains at the optimal condition and can do things that may require being younger to be able to be done in the first place, though the user still ages.
Members Command. Evelyn. James. Nox.
Visha Kanya
Unlike the equality-driven Immortals, the ancient order of Visha Kanya was founded by men who used women to gain their power. The name comes from the Sanskrit word meaning “poison girl” and it was used to describe young women used as assassins against powerful enemies, whose blood and other bodily fluids were purposefully made poisonous. Young girls were raised on a carefully crafted diet of poison and antidote from a very young age, with many of them dying along the way. Those who survived were trained to entertain and seduce their targets, then used as disposable assassins and often left not only to carry out the murder but also take the fall.
Established around 400 BC in ancient India, after a girl survived her death sentence – many others occurred soon after, and they escaped the controlling clutches of their former owners, laying rest the tradition and working for their individual goals and causes, scattered around the planet.
Powers
Sexual Inducement The power to induce sexual arousal, lust, bliss, and pleasure in others. This power may work with both genders, their sexual interest and people of any age. Users can only induce sexual lust, not love. May be affected by sexual preference, and physical touch to induce.
Seductive Magnetism. User radiates an aura of attractiveness, naturally inducing pleasure and desire while subtly lifting inhibitions. The affected targets remain fully themselves, but can't help but long for the user's affection, and can't bring themselves to cause them harm except as a last resort. Some people may be immune, naturally or via countermeasures.
Emotion Manipulation User can sense and manipulate emotions, including feelings, moods and their effects, whether by increasing, decreasing, causing or otherwise channelling emotions. They are brief and consist of a coordinated set of responses. Requires training to reduce chances of any side effects and keep the user's own emotions controlled. Limited to a certain number of targets at a time, usually requires touch. Beginners often absorb emotions unintentionally.
Poison Embodiment The user becomes the embodiment of poison and can spread the poison. As the embodiment of poison, they can also poison things that should naturally be immune. It implies resistance to some toxins, complete immunity to others.
Ageing Immunity User is immune to the negative effects of ageing. With this power, one could have an overall strong body, no matter how old they are. Their condition does not deteriorate with age at all, and the user remains at the optimal condition and can do things that may require being younger to be able to be done in the first place, though the user still ages.

Praetorians
This elite unit of the Imperial Roman army served as a personal bodyguard and intelligence for the Roman emperors, but the first records of their founding go as far as 275 BC. Cohors praetoria, in original transcripts, served as a selected number of guards who were the final reserve, and would often bring the desired outcome to a battle. Unlike most factions, Praetorians were often selected military veterans, with experience in battle and state matter, embracing their differences as assets brought together by a unique discipline they mastered as part of the Roman army. Despite military history recruitment, the selection process looked closely at the intelligence and ability to adapt.
The story goes that one of the Praetorians had survived a fatal poisoning, showing up in the forum on the next day, paving the way in their reputation: people feared them, and they soon found out that they would benefit more hidden behind the figures of power, slowly wiping their name from the history, remaining around most significant events as kingmakers and such.
Powers
Intuitive Aptitude The power to instantly learn and understand the complexity and exactness of organisms, objects, etc. without the need of long-term or special education – it’s short, normally for the time of need.
Weakness Detection Ability to sense the weakness of almost anything: people, objects, and in advanced users even relationships, organizations, etc. Beginners can have sensory overload once they start, and they take a while to find the point. Requires considerable accuracy and strength to affect targets.
Threat Identification. The ability to identify threats as protection of themselves or others. It can be achieved through already known information or quickly observed facts.
Enhanced Senses. The ability of extremely accurate senses allow the user to see, hear, smell, taste and feel better, which comes in handy in various situations. Beginners can experience overload. State of the user can affect/dull the ability.
Ageing Immunity User is immune to the negative effects of ageing. With this power, one could have an overall strong body, no matter how old they are. Their condition does not deteriorate with age at all, and the user remains at the optimal condition and can do things that may require being younger to be able to be done in the first place, though the user still ages.
Members Amyas. Gio. Theo. Harper.
Batavi
Founded as an infantry unit of the late Roman army, Batavi was called after the tribe of German warriors of which they descended in the 4[sup]th[/sup] century. Historically, they would normally fight alongside Heruli, but quickly got distinguished from them. Batavi were known for their stealth, quick attacks in the dead of the night which often changed the outcomes of battles, and all of their battles were fought on horses: they could stay in the saddle for days at a time, sleep while riding and even cross rivers in full armour.
Then they gained their first touch of immortality, and with it, momentum and soon were seen as a threat, even facing false charges of rebellion. After one of the first immortal Batavi was executed under false pretences, the real rebellion started: some roman legions switched sides upon seeing their force, and they even took charge of a part of the lands. The negotiation for peace started and all stories about the conflict ended there abruptly, veiling a large bit of their history in secret.
Powers
Environmental Adaptation User can survive and adapt to any environment and/or condition, being able to tolerate a wide range of temperatures and levels of moisture, any amount/quality of sustenance, breathable medium, etc. with little or no discomfort. Beginners have a hard time controlling it, maintaining the ability and it usually takes time.
Enhanced Tracking The user can track others down easily via various means, ranging from scents to footprints. With enough experience, the user can follow tracks that are days or even weeks old. Some users may be able to reconstruct what has happened by sniffing around the area they are searching.
Tracking Evasion The users can’t be tracked down – all traces either disappear or are ignored: even the obvious ones will be dismissed. Highly advanced users may not even leave an electronic trace. This has to be used consciously, with a focus on stealth and beginners might have a hard time focusing on it.
Agility Mode The user has the ability to have an enhanced agility form. With this mode, they can move quickly, efficiently and effortlessly, and they can do things such as athletics, parkour, gymnastics and acrobatics with ease. Beginners’ strength and durability will be weakened and may need to rest more frequently.
Aging Immunity User is immune to the negative effects of ageing. With this power, one could have an overall strong body, no matter how old they are. Their condition does not deteriorate with age at all, and the user remains at the optimal condition and can do things that may require being younger to be able to be done in the first place, though the user still ages.

Varangian Guard
Formed as an elite unit of the Byzantine Army in the 10[sup]th[/sup] century, the Varangian guard was mostly composed of recruits from Norsemen from Scandinavia and Anglo-Saxons from England – call it what you will, but Varangians were primarily mercenaries. It made sense to have them protect the emperors since they had no political loyalties: they swore allegiance to the position, not the man occupying it. The members normally served their Viking tradition of faithful oath-bound service, and asides their security services played decisive roles in many wars, normally deployed at critical moments of a battle.
Their traditions, nature and way of life make them the widest spread of the factions (immortal and mortal), with a trace of their lineage found all over the globe. They are also known for their brutality, with various notes on their battlefield prowess, wielding Dane axe, while also being good swordsmen and archers. However, what remains is the evidence of their frightening appearance, equipment and attacks: reckless rage, almost superhuman in strength and with no sense of their wounds.
Powers
Situational Strength The user can automatically become exactly as powerful as they need to be to accomplish what they're trying to do at a given moment. Boosts are only temporary, and beginners will have a hard time controlling them: duration, exact beginning and how strong it makes them.
Enhanced Combat The ability to possess enhanced levels of hand-to-hand combat, become exceptionally proficient in fighting. You aren’t invincible and require some basic skill and visual performance of said skill beforehand, meaning beginners will need training before their ability can truly manifest itself.
Enhanced Senses. The ability of extremely accurate senses allow the user to see, hear, smell, taste and feel better, which comes in handy in various situations. Beginners can experience overload. State of the user can affect/dull the ability.
Enhanced Reflexes User has drastically enhanced reaction speed, allowing them to dodge bullets, catch flies in mid-air, dodge and manoeuvre around complex attacks, catch falling objects, block detriments and react instantaneously to what others take more time to react to. Beginners will need a lot of training to control and be able to get to this point.
Aging Immunity User is immune to the negative effects of ageing. With this power, one could have an overall strong body, no matter how old they are. Their condition does not deteriorate with age at all, and the user remains at the optimal condition and can do things that may require being younger to be able to be done in the first place, though the user still ages.

Samurai
One of the most prominent, well-known factions, the Samurai were the hereditary military nobility and office caste of Japan. The faction was established sometime in the 12[sup]th[/sup] century, they were a prestigious order following the bushido codes of life. Known for their unflinching loyalties, they enjoyed social status, living in the upper echelons of the warrior class. Samurai were required to supply their weapons, respect the hierarchy and were known for their discipline. Many clans were formed amongst the order, and many took very extreme views over the time – a lesser-known fact to anyone outside the Shadows was that some of the originals samurai took it as their duty to make things right, resulting in some of the bloodiest inner-faction wars. Officially, the Samurai were dissolution in the 19[sup]th[/sup] century, to maintain the peace inside their order.
Samurai took their philosophy from many sources, including Buddhism, Zen, Confucianism, Shinto, and more. Education has always played a crucial role, normally launching them into successful careers and high positions of power.
Powers
Combat Adaptation User's fighting style and abilities adapt automatically to be equal or superior to opponents’ style of fighting, whether armed or unarmed, making an opponent’s attacks useless after the first few strikes which is what it takes to adapt; beginners will need more time. It doesn’t guarantee victory, you can still lose due to lack of experience. Takes time to achieve full adaption, especially for beginners. Can only adapt in terms of combat or battle.
Enhanced Combat The ability to possess enhanced levels of hand-to-hand combat to become exceptionally proficient in fighting. You aren’t invincible and require some basic skill and visual performance of said skill beforehand, meaning beginners will need training before their ability can truly manifest itself.
Enhanced Reflexes User has drastically enhanced reaction speed, allowing them to dodge bullets, catch flies in mid-air, dodge and manoeuvre around complex attacks, catch falling objects, block detriments and react instantaneously to what others take more time to react to. Beginners will need a lot of training to control and be able to get to this point.
Eagle Vision Ability of an extrasensory perception, ability to instinctively sense how people and objects relate to them, like an aura. It can help foresee things, help to utilize objects in combat, or simply reveal the intention of the person, like sensing danger ahead. Beginners need extra time mastering this, focusing and aligning with this dormant part of their genetic code.
Aging Immunity User is immune to the negative effects of ageing. With this power, one could have an overall strong body, no matter how old they are. Their condition does not deteriorate with age at all, and the user remains at the optimal condition and can do things that may require being younger to be able to be done in the first place, though the user still ages.

Jaguar Warriors
One of the most unique factions when it comes to their members, Jaguar Warriors come from the 14[sup]th[/sup] century Aztec military elite. Named after who Aztecs thought of as deities, the stories say it was the first immortal of them. They were used for most military operations, from battlefronts to capturing prisoners, all the way to religious sacrifices, building themselves quite a reputation and frightening appearance, using only obsidian blades. Jaguar Warriors grew into their reputation through training: hard labour, physical effort and intense pain, combined with warfare education. Surveillance was another part of their life: they were prohibited from any earthly pleasures, forming bonds and empathy, which led many of them to mental instability, which translates to their given eccentricity to this day. Those who endured – and remained mostly lucid – would be treated as nobles and gained permission to enjoy life.
They normally have a great deal of respect for their own, and many of them are either kept from gaining real power by their instability or simply show no interest in it beyond being superior to those they deem a threat.
Powers
Battlefield Adaptation The user is to become adept in a field of battle, allowing them to fight on equal or superior grounds with their opponents. It means they can be able to effortlessly move through any battlefield, knowing how to move to be undiscovered, or hide from the other side. Advanced users might trigger this during non-battle occasions (ex. finding paths in unknown places if you’re in danger).
Tracking Evasion The users can’t be tracked down – all traces either disappear or are ignored: even the obvious ones will be dismissed. Highly advanced users may not even leave an electronic trace. This has to be used consciously, with a focus on stealth and beginners might have a hard time focusing on it.
Sexual Inducement The power to induce sexual arousal, lust, bliss, and pleasure in others. This power may work with both genders, their sexual interest and people of any age. Users can only induce sexual lust, not love. May be affected by sexual preference, and physical touch to induce.
Seductive Magnetism. User radiates an aura of attractiveness, naturally inducing pleasure and desire while subtly lifting inhibitions. The affected targets remain fully themselves, but can't help but long for the user's affection, and can't bring themselves to cause them harm except as a last resort. Some people may be immune, naturally or via countermeasures.
Aging Immunity User is immune to the negative effects of ageing. With this power, one could have an overall strong body, no matter how old they are. Their condition does not deteriorate with age at all, and the user remains at the optimal condition and can do things that may require being younger to be able to be done in the first place, though the user still ages.

Janissaries
14[sup]th[/sup] century elite infantry unit of the Ottoman Empire has a rather dark story behind it: all the warriors were abducted Christian children from Balkan countries the Turkish have conquered, incorporated into the army to serve the Sultan. Unlike slaves, they’ve been assimilated and paid a salary for their service, but it made no difference to the families they were taken away from. They became famous for being internally cohesive, strictly disciplined and orderly. Their lives were subjected to the Sultan completely, as they were prohibited from marriage, trade or ownership. They’ve been a formidable military unit that had no intention of modernizing, and with the growing Ottoman Empire the logistics fell flat, they started recruiting outside their normal abduction ways and soon the structure was compromised. The new infantry forces went into rebellion, while those original Janissaries avoided what was essentially execution.
They’ve successfully stayed in their ranks, maintaining strength not in numbers, but in the quality of the recruits, fully utilizing their abilities in surviving through most hardships. They’ve resurfaced only once, late in 18[sup]th[/sup] century, before finally vanishing into the shadows soon after.
Powers
Hive Senses Users can share sensory systems with multiple individuals, allowing them to experience all sensory information. Multiple sensory inputs can cause confusion, especially for beginners, and can overload the brain. Beginners will experience issues controlling this.
Artillery Proficiency Users are very capable of operating all sorts of artillery — large weapons that fire munitions at a range far beyond those of regular small arms — allowing them to perform great feats and benefit in far ranged combat. Users are to have excellent bull-eyes aim on their target (through practice). Users have excellent intuition on artillery, which comes with training for beginners.
Accelerated Perception The user's mind and senses process information at such speeds that time appears to have slowed down, allowing them to perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly. It lasts for a limited time, and it can slow beginners’ reactions down significantly.
Battlefield Adaptation The user is to become adept in a field of battle, allowing them to fight on equal or superior grounds with their opponents. It means they can be able to effortlessly move through any battlefield, knowing how to move to be undiscovered, or hide from the other side. Advanced users might trigger this during non-battle occasions (ex. finding paths in unknown places if you’re in danger).
Ageing Immunity User is immune to the negative effects of ageing. With this power, one could have an overall strong body, no matter how old they are. Their condition does not deteriorate with age at all, and the user remains at the optimal condition and can do things that may require being younger to be able to be done in the first place, though the user still ages.

And now, officially into the
Round VI: The SelectionThe round will take place in November, and boy, things are going to be fun! Recruits are on the way, and despite Command ordering everyone not to bring any new members into the mess until things are cleared,...well, new members are joining.
So, as per usual, the annual trip is going to last 2 days (Nov 6 & 7). For new contestants, it's an invitation from Command that will be extended to you by your potential primary, to join the entire group on a two-day mountain trip. For existing members, you just get to come along and make recruits feel welcome, hopefully.
Note: new members have not had their first return yet, keep it in mind!
It will begin early on a Saturday morning: you'll meet at one of Command's companies with your hiking equipment, and you'll encounter the magic of Moon Gates for the first time.
These moon gates are in the garden at the back of the company and will lead you to your destination, which you'll walk into through
moon gates like these. You are now about to start a long hike through the Dachstein Mountain range in Schladming, Austria. However, Command is not there once you arrive (the list of people joining is below).
You'll be walking for around 5 hours with a couple of breaks, before arriving at
Ferdi Mountain Base cabin (for this occasion, imagine there's a room for everyone). You'll get settled there, have some time to chill, explore the premise, relax in the woods, eat some of the food that's waiting or sleep for a bit. At sundown, you'll be asked to join the food preparation in the outdoor and indoor kitchen, with the rest of the people. Once the dinner is served on the big outdoor deck with the best view, you'll all gather for a meal, chat and listen to Evelyn speak about the Shadows and the beginnings. There's wine, food, desserts - the mood is lovely and this is your chance to get to know the people, bond a little and simply enjoy this moment. Come Sunday morning, you will be left to your own devices - the weather has gone a little bit foul during the night, the rain is what you wake up to - still, you can enjoy the view with a cup of good coffee, enjoy the company and get ready for your hike back to the starting point. You should be back in your own homes.
Attending: Evelyn, Amyas, Leon, Elia, Sierra, Eris, Luiza, Gio, Theo, Viktor, Daan, James, Sadhana,
Not attending: William (banished). Egon (leave of absence). Filip (leave of absence). Command (no one knows for sure officially).
The rest of the month, you'll be asked to show up for the sake of recruits - most will be okay with that. And, as per usual, some personal plot stuff you will find in your impressions.
