  5. Origin: Legotor comes from a rich merchant family in the Aotean chain trade. He has always been a bit of a daredevil, and a bit of a dick, and spent large portions of his youth leading his friends along precarious routes around the islands, often to their detriment. While his parents were rather ashamed when he turned out to have magical powers, he was secretly rather keen, being an enormous power gamer at heart. He has thrown himself into the study of things that he (quite correctly) thinks will allow him to better indulge his nature.

  3. Hobby: Reading in a quiet corner of the library.

  5. Origin: Katherine comes from the far off kingdom of Zurathur. The land is mostly covered in great forests in which live a variety of creatures not often seen in more civilised parts of the world. She was born into a fairly wealthy, but not noble, family and had always shown an interest in learning. When she showed magical ability at aged 15 (she wondered into the forest and got lost. Everyone presumed she was dead, eaten by some terrible beast, until she came back three days later on the back of a ferocious Manticore that ate out of her hand like it was a kitten.) her parents decided that sending her off to The University was the best bet. Katherine has a partial scholarship to the University. A reserved and fairly prim and proper young lady, it is a source of great annoyance and mystery to Katherine that she was assigned to Leviathan House. So far she has avoided all of the early morning jogging sessions by threatening anyone who wakes her up too early by throwing a rather grumpy looking house cat at them.

  5. Origin: Deuce comes from the war torn country of Erudis & Eduni. His time there has made him rather cynical and bitter, experience has taught him that things tend to get worse not better and we are powerless to stop it. Nevertheless he can't deny that within him there is still hope to bring stability back to his homeland via his education at the University. He has a very prominent lisp which frustrates him endlessly.

  5. Origin: The city of Tosat. Specifically, the gutters thereof. When caught levitating the purse of a nobleman's belt, the punishment was severe - he was ripped from his gang and placed in that Nobleman's house. No magic in the lower classes, after all. Seething resentment gave way to an appreciation of luxury, but he still kept in practice sneaking out to meet up with old friends and family. When the time came when the personal magical tutors couldn't educate him any more, he was dispatched to the City with a big wad of money and finery from his 'doting' parents. With a year of instruction under his belt his taste for the luxuries of Tosat has faded. Instead, with his quick wit and skilled fingers he plans on gaining enough wealth that even the City will recognize his greatness.
