Fred 8 D'Honaire - Eldest son of the late Duke Charles D'Honaire, Frederigo was sent on a quest by the King of Allaria to do the one thing his father couldn't - mdefeat the dragon of the Southern Caves. If he completed this task, he would be permitted by his liege the King to take up his father's mantle, claiming as his legacy the Dukedom of Suffex.

Frederigo, however, did not succeed. Facing what he thought to be the dragon, he and Astra of Aquilaria were magickally banished to the scorching deserts North of the kingdom. There, they took refuge in the first dwelling they found, that of the mad chiurgeon Vincent. Frederigo was wounded by one of Vincent's creations, and later, unbeknownst to his companions, died under the lunatic's ministrations.

Frederigo found himself in hell, sentenced to his damned state actions and convenient lapses of attention of wrongdoings in order to garner power and prestige from within the Royal Court. There he was presented with a tempting offer which allowed him to escape hell, contingent upon his betrayal of his former companions. Fred, under the influence of the memories of the extreme pain of the eperience of Hell, made the mistake of accepting before his more noble side could kick in.

Now Frederigo, controlled by Thoabath, walke among the living once again, an arcane sigil branded into the palm of his hand to remind him of his fell duty. He has rejoined his companions, and soon the plans of his new demonic masters will come to fruition.

But things went wrong (or right depending on your point of view) and Fred 8 became free again and soon became a Champion of the Rules and Agents.

A brave man apparently in his early twenties, Fredrigo has been rescued from his damned state and has become almost fanatical in his stand against evil and injustice. Has become a very caring and warm person...and is totally in love with Astra 8 for waht she'd done for him (saving him from damnation and all that).

Astra 8a - Hailing from the kingdom south of Allaria, Astra's homeland is famous for its warrior women. However, Astra is the daughter of the King, and thus her freedoms as she came of age were quickly disappearing. Her father permitted her one last adventure, though, before she would have to take up the duties her royal blood mandated. By the maps and legends of Aquilaria, the dragon dwelled in what was, to the people of that kingdom at least, the Northern Caves. Astra's final quest was to be the delving of these caverns, and the vanquishing of the monsters within.

The princess of Aquilaria did not make it to the dragon.

Instead, she was captured by the legions of pale, gaunt men who slavishly served him, and chained deep in the caverns.

It wasn't until months later that she was discovered and freed by Lord Frederigo D'Honaire. With him they both went to face the dragon, and during the fight both were banished via magick to the savage desert.

While taking refuge in the dwelling of the chiurgeon Vincent, Astra watched as the man attempted to heal the wounds inflicted by one of his creations upon Frederigo. However, a sneeze at an inopportune moment disrupted Vincent's concentration, and this distraction caused Astra to be transported into a ponderously large labyrinth.

While in the labyrinth, Astra passed through a door marked with a wolf's paw and a human hand. After going down the passageway which the door led to, she was clubbed senseless, and awoke in a prison cell. Standing, she found herself changing grotesquely, transforming into a savage hybrid of wolf and woman. Soon she found the dragon gloating over her, shortly before restoring her human form and releasing her.

Recently Astra discovered what Minestus' plan was. He had released her to spread the contagion he had implanted in her, that of the ergot mushroom which causes lycanthropy. Thought exterminated, apparently the canny old monster had his own supply, and thought to unleash the strain upon the land again. None can be sure whether this is part of his master plan or merely a feint, but Astra now seeks a cure. She is frightened by what she becomes when the moon is full, and guilty for she already has passed the curse on once. She had taken something that should have cured her condition but the potion proved to be not up to snuff, so the curse blossomed instead and she killed her companions ( Simon the Anchorite and Aethir MacFionn)with the aid of the treacherous Thaobath. She was saved from despair, servitude to a hellish minion, and continued slavery to her curse when Astra 8 and others showed up to save Fred 8 from Thaobath.

She is now serving Queen Astra LaPost back on Terra Prime and is now part of the growing family of House Thessamer.

Has grown to again trust Fred 8, seeing that he hadn't been under his own control. She has become very fond of Lady Andrea Croix and Andrea 2 Croix, for all that she occasionally wants to shake some sense into her.

Astra is brave, kind-hearted, determined, quick witted and resourceful. She is outspoken, and occasionally acts rashly. A beautiful yet athletic woman in her early twenties, her outstanding features are her height and her flaming red hair.

Jarlath D'Honaire - The seventh son of Charles D'Honaire, he went against his father's wishes and went off to the Tower of Ilxior to study magic. From then until his death, Charles D'Honaire refused to acknowledge his youngest son, apparently due to an inherent mistrust of magic. After his father's death, Frederigo attempted to contact Jarlath only to find the Tower of Ilxior had been razed, his brother apparently taken with it.

Jarlath was present at the razing of the Tower, and he was burned very badly as well as blinded. However, this explosion unhinged something in him, both mentally and metaphysically. Jarlath may presently be the most powerful wizard on the planet, even though his own magic is eating him alive from the inside out. Another peculiarity bestowed on him by the explosion, Jarlath is blind, yet has perfect precognition of all the upcoming events in his life, serving as a second sight in spite of his deadened eyes. A frightening aspect of this sight, though, is the fact that all the visions he has end at the point at which he reaches the Grove of the Seven Sisters.

Whether he would have die at that point is uncertain, but what he had known wass that when the time comes, he would be well and truly blind once more.

But...

Due to the disruptive nature of the odd nature of the insertion of the Champions of Order and Chaos into the equation of things.....fates changed and Jaralth was struck blind earlier than expected. That was unexpected and frightening to the fated young wizard. Bus soon he found himself welcoming it when his normal sight was restored....getting adopted by the Elder D'Honairs (the analogs of his parents)... and then accepted into the ranks of the Champions. No longer stuck to one course of action, the young mage is happy to be part of the D'Honaire family of Terra Prime.

Under the tutelage of several of the dragon mages, the young mage is better able to harness his powerful magical gift to where it doesn't try to consume him within. Oh, with his new found immortality, he could have kept doing it the old fashioned manner....but why court pain?

Also is now more stable, but still a bit eccentric.

Has married his loves Astra 9 AND Annafrid.

Andrea 2 - Lady Andrea Croix spent most of her life within her father's own fiefdom, cared for by servants, brought up extremely conservatively.

However, as a child, the tales of her nursemaid Fritha filled her with an intense wanderlust. The old woman's folk stories and little white magick charms made an otherwise dreary life bearable.

In time, Andrea grew up and Fritha passed away. The banality of her day to day life got to her, and so when she could stand no more, she slipped away under cover of darkness.

As she fled at a gallop upon her horse, she was discovered by Astra of Aquilaria, who, considering it her duty, brought her back to Croix Keep.

They did not find what they expected.

Seizing an unknown window of opportunity during Andrea's absence, her father's advisor had betrayed the keep to the dragon's men. She and Astra only narrowly managed to escape.

Following several revelations about Astra's newfound curse and a trip to Mount Cicatrice to find the necromancer Belboz, possibly the only man who could cure her, Andrea discovered she had bewildering magickal powers, above and beyond the simple cantrips taught to her by Fritha. Shortly after this, she was attacked beneath the full moon by Astra, and would contracted the disease of lycanthropy herself.

Soon, she was captured by the Unseelie Court and soon became the trophy to a challenge between the Court and a set of Champions from Terra Prime. The Champions won and not only did they win her freedom, they were able to cure her of her lycanthropy.

Fine and well, but she missed the sense of freedom that it seemed to bring her. She had been stifled and caged her entire life, and that had been the first taste of freedom for her. She wasn't exactly looking forward to returning to her father, but was going to do it out of duty...and love.

However, she was injured in an ambush set by the followers of the Dragon of the Southern Caverns (right after the Champions had killed it and the mage known and Minestus). She'd been horribly burned and had broken her back, and extreme measures were needed to save her life.

So in order to save her life, with her permission, one of the demifox mages bit her and she became a demifox when the lycanthropy from the bite took hold.

She well knew that she'd become a social outcast because of this, but she never thought that her own father would disown her.

Shocked at this and heart broken, she decided to go with the others and became a member of the family (of sorts) as well as a Champion. In her anger, (as something as a gesture against her father) she decided o stay a demifox (and is now forevermore a demifox due to the special nature of being a Champion).

Due to a special request by one of the demifox mages to the Rules, demifoxes are no longer lycanthropes, but an actual species all onto themselves now. No longer products of a magical curse, their bite no longer causes lycanthropy in others.

Demifox lass or not, her magical powers translated over and she now is a mage of worth and her power is still growing as time goes on.

Over time first began to date and now has married one of her former teachers: the demifox mage known as Synizn.
