Name: Max Frostwind-Emrys
Age: Stopped aging at around 40-ish, is actually 354 years old.
Race: Mageborn (a subspecies of human)
Appearance: (the redhead): https://images.app.goo.gl/SvAuUNRC3ZCmbQns8
Abilities: Though not on the same power level as her husband, Max herself is a pretty formidable warlock...with storm-based spells, dark magic and shields/wards being her specialty. Like Merlin, she has the ability to shapeshift (but usually into animals for her) and can transmute objects into other objects.
Personality: Max is a pretty easygoing “middle-aged” woman, likes to chill and have a laugh. Although she’s sweet and nice, her mouth certainly isn’t. Uther often jokes that “her favorite word in the dictionary is “cunt”, she swears sooooo much. She’s fun-loving and affable with a tiny bit of chaos, but nowhere near on Merlin’s level. She prefers to do quiet activities like studying spells or baking during her down time, but her idea of an exciting weekend is going on some epic adventure.
Bio: Born Maximilienne Argyla Frostwind, Max was the third child of seven born in Àite Draoidh, a Scottish city-enclave of sorcerers and mages that had been established when the medieval witch trials by the Catholic Church first began in around the 1300s or so. She lived with her siblings among a group of mageborn...an offshoot of humans that had bred around with other supernatural races so much that they became their own species...human in appearance and almost every other way except for a natural propensity to magic and much longer lifespans. She lived there until she was around eleven, when her parents decided to move to Salem in order to be among the growing magic community there. Everything was peaceful, until things came to a head in the year 1692, when the staunch Puritan community got wind of the witches living among them. As Mr. and Mrs. Frostwind would say, it had been like the First Witch Hunts all over again...it was pandemonium, friends and neighbors suddenly turning on each other and accusing the other of being in league with dark forces/witchcraft.
Max, who was 26 at the time went underground...literally. She went into hiding with her books and her magical items, doing her best to blend in as a normal everyday young woman. She’d often hide her fellow mages underneath her system of tunnels, until three of her dearest friends were taken by the priests. Knowing she couldn’t save them alone, she searched about almost vainly for help...it frustrated her although she understood that the mages didn’t want to risk their own lives it did nothing to dim her feelings. After weeks of this, her eyes fell upon two recent arrivals to the community, a mage and his companion. Perhaps they’d be able to help her. Introducing herself to the two men, she learned that they were the legendary wizard Merlin and his lover Uther Pendragon, the former king of Britain. She asked if they could help her, and both were reluctant at first...until Max swayed Merlin with the promises of letting him read her collection of books and scrolls.
He of course already had a vast collection, but hers were unknown to him and wanting to know magical secrets had always been his greatest weakness. They worked together on this plan, an effort that took time. During that time, the two of them grew closer. Merlin and Uther had always had an open relationship so that was never the problem, the problem was the emotional aspect. So they were a long time in acting on it, focusing instead on completing the rescue. After freeing Max’s friends and many discussions both among themselves and with Uther, who himself had reluctantly taken a shine to the girl (that didn’t mean he wanted to share with her though; at least in the beginning) the three of them slowly got to know one another. There was friction between them in the at first, especially between Uther and Max (Merlin had to get between them several times), but over time they came to an understanding. They decided to give things a shot and fled Salem that same night, growing closer during their travels over the years. It was a long time before their friendship became a triad, but eventually it did. When Draken Falls was founded as a place for supernatural creatures to settle down, the three of them decided it would be the perfect place to settle down permanently and despite taking occasional trips, they’d been there ever since.

I'll try to write something tomorrow then, since it's really late where I am. Sorry I haven't made any progress, sometimes I get distracted and can't focus well. I already have the basic idea for what I want to do, just need to come up with a more detailed backstory.

Name: Branimir “Bran” Gorecki
Age: Roughly in his 90s, he is considered mid-twenties in Dwarven age.
Race: Krasnal Dwarf, and if you confuse them with their Germanic counterparts, that’s a paddlin’.
Appearance: Bran stands at a stout four feet and eleven inches, with nutmeg brown beard and gunmetal grey eyes.
Abilities: Some Magic, mostly enough to be a first aid and has his firebolt slinging permit.
Personality: He struggles with living up to his father’s expectations, being the firstborn son of Kresimir the Cunning, though like many Dwarves is stooped and proud of his traditions. Doubly so since he is indeed a man of the cloth.
Bio: Born sometime in the 1930s, the earliest memories were of romanticism in the wake of the World War, however, the Great Depression and the Second World War forced him and his family to emigrate to Manitoba, Canada. While no longer near the sea, the Dwarf found himself not entirely out of home among the various Polish-Canadians, both longtime residents and recent emigres. Branimir attended theological school in the United States sometime in the 70s where he rubbed shoulders with the rising countercultural movements and resurgence in magic. Now he is a cleric of the United Romuvan-Rodnover Temple off of Twelfth and Casper Street.
Faction App
Name: The Alliance of Native Faiths and Teachings (ANFT)
Leader: Varies due to denomination, de facto Council of the Teachers.
# of Members: TBD within the
Good/Evil: Lawful Good
Turf: Technically, any pagan/neopagan practitioners residing in Draken Falls, including but not limited to the “United Romuvan-Rodnover Temple”, which caters to the Lithuanian/Polish-Slavic pagan populace, and of whom Gorecki is a part of. They also are affiliated with schools of magic that opt for a more naturalistic or spiritual path.
Just finally cranked out these apps, and I'd be more than happy to accept criticism on them.

Name: Bovithjud Whitewing, called Bo for short...also called the Icy Doom.
Age: Her thousandth birthday is coming up pretty soon, in a couple of months actually.
Race: Dragon
Appearance: In her human form she appears as a slender dark-skinned woman in about her early 30s, possessing long blue-white hair and flame-colored eyes with slit pupils. In her draconic form, she’s a large blue-white dragon possessing the same type of eyes.
Abilities: Her breath weapon is a bluish-green fire that freezes rather than burns.
Personality: Bo is very much an old lady, even if she doesn’t look much like it in human form. She’s ever-mindful of dignity and stature and can be short-tempered, but she has a soft spot for the younger folks and enjoys regaling others with tales of her exploits.
Bio: Bo was born as the second of four hatchlings in the Caingorm mountains to Amnexis Whitewing and her mate Xivrig, the Lord and Lady of the Frostlands (their cold, northern territory on the British Isles). Her childhood was rather uneventful, but as she got older she wanted to go out and earn a name for herself so when she got of age she took her part of the treasure horde and went about traveling, seeking out glory, treasure and battle. Her reputation for ferocity earned her the nickname Icy Doom, especially among the human communities even after settling down in the Himalayas to set up a territory of her own. She stopped her wandering for a while and stayed in the mountains for a few decades, collecting treasure and establishing a reputation but her wanderlust returned after a while. Even when she met her now mate, they still continued adventuring until she became pregnant and they decided to settle down again to raise their family. She now lives in Draken Falls with her mate Daurgothoth (he goes by Doug since humans can’t pronounce his real name either) and their two kids: a son called Malygos and a daughter called Charthraxis.
