True to his ethnicity, Cardur is liable to get angry when legitimately offended, and can be quite disagreeable if he hasn't had his breakfast.

Born to a military officer and his wife in Śêlselver, Kiravia, Cardur grew up primarily in the commuter zone of Valëka, the Federacy's largest city. He attended the Apostolic University of Kiravia in Rógesar, outside of Kartika, the Federal capital. He completed his Minister's Degree early and took a job with the Secriat of State as an analyst specialising in national security matters. Though his career seemed promising, a colleague falsely accused him of leaking relatively unimportant intelligence to the press. An investigation later revealed that he was innocent, but the real culprit was never identified. He was never again trusted with important information and his prospects of advancement disappeared. His credibility was called into question again when copies of top-level (though not classified) communiqués were found on his computer. He was absolved of responsibility again, but decided to resign.

Following his resignation, Cardur worked for a short time at an international banking firm, which inspired him to write (under a pseudonym) a novel concerned with the degrading effects of life in a large organisation. He later left the firm and became a travelling journalist, foreign policy theorist, and literary critic. He spends most of his time travelling through Coscivian countries, but has decied to visit Oterro for a change of scenery.

[Dystara]

Languages: Atamu, Tam'tic (these are Dystaran languages), but he's the type of person to learn a country's language(s) before going there.

Hobbies: Sunsets, long walks on the beach Work, really - throwing himself into a (mental) task is what he thinks he was born to do. If not at work he'd enjoy such games and pastimes as chess, reading the news and discussing things of import with people he knows well.

Personality: Generally polite, if not friendly, but can be somewhat abrasive at times. A deep thinker, and enjoys observing and analyzing others.

Education: Nothing that a non-Dystaran would recognize, especially in the 19th-century, but suffice to say he went all the way to attain respectable credentials in the world of business and finance.

Political beliefs: Although he believes in the sanctity of the family unit and as such believes many other things typically associated with this, Mataltan also believes in individual freedom. This can be summed up as "I don't like you or your morals, but each to their own". He opposes authoritarianism of all kinds.

Religious/philosophical beliefs: Theist without subscribing to any philosophy or religion in particular; doesn't believe in the state religion of Dystara (which is money-grabbing rubbish) but has the right type of open/worried-about-death mind to accept a religion that holds that there is life after death.

Objects on their person: Apart from clothing: spectacles and a pocket-watch.

Brief biography (Optional): Born in Laclre, Dystara, to a noble family, he didn't want to go into politics OR the empty world of the hedonistic and petty nobility. So he studied to become a businessman and made a good deal of money in Dystara before getting out of there.

[Povos do Mar]

OOC: This is such a cool idea for a thread, I love your stories!

Name: Oyeronke Roldán Rasaq (just Oye for short)
Race: Human, Mediterranean/African
Nationality: Povos
Gender: Female

Age: 24

Languages: Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic (limited)
Hobbies: Engineering, taking things apart, writing, dancing (though perhaps not so well)
Personality: Oye is generally very focused when she's busy and can become irritable when distracted though when given the oppurtunity she enjoys the company of others and goes dancing regularly on Saturdays. She divides her free time by trying to spend an equal amount of time with her friends, writing (both non-fiction and fiction) and engineering, particularly fixing or improving her communities appliances though she would rather spend more time with her tools, she realises this would be a bit unsociable.
Education: Primary and Secondary education completed, she also took a private course in the history of modern locomotives.
Political beliefs: Communist, typically she is only concerned with politics within the spectrum of the Union of Engineers of which she is a member of.
Religious/philosophical beliefs: Oye is an atheist and not a very spiritual person, she is quite grounded. She is uninterested in philosophy in general.
Objects on their person: Povos do Mar is not a terribly bountiful country so she brought very little; two pairs of shorts, two bras, a long skirt, a tank top, a pair of poorly made sandals, a loose headdress, a wooden comb, a wooden toothbrush, four simple meals wrapped in seaweed and a small, simple rucksack to keep it all in.
Brief biography (Optional): Oye was largely distracted during school, her interest in mechanics was present at an early age, though she had friends and a few boyfriends her love of engineering always seemed to come first and she left school with mediocre grades as soon as she could to join the Union of Engineers.
She moved out of her parents home to a new community closer to the sea level and worked mainly in the local power station, though she had no friends in this area and kept to herself. One of her neighbours began a course on locomotives and luckily she overheard one of her comrades in the union talking about it, so she quickly signed up, partly out of interest and partly out of a desire to meet people. The course was remarkably heavy for a local course and with her new classmates she worked hard at completing it, leaving with a great deal of knowledge and new friends.
Oye then spent her time integrating herself ino her new community with the help of her friends, eventually she would feel comfortable enough to regularly see her neighbours and fix or upgrades the communities various appliances. Her interest in writing also begun with the locomotive course and she wrote down many of her own theories on trains and transportation, some of which turned a little fantastical and became fictional stories, though she has never published anything.
She was denied entry into the Railway Union unfortunately, since her community already had so many members and the power plant was in greater need, maybe that's why she moved to Oterro? Who knows.

Brief biography (Optional): Born as the oldest son of a rich Hemmian merchant, Johannes was expected to be the heir to his father's empire. And while the boy was bright he quickly became a disappointment in his father's eye. He was simply not ambitious enough and too cowardly. He enjoyed eating, drinking and smoking too much and was better at wasting money than earning it. And if that wasn't enough he was interested in politics, something that his father had always stayed away from, knowing that nothing good would come from meddling with. Shortly the boy was not fit to inherit the empire, and was therefore sent away to a remote nation somewhere far away where he would have to work to make himself worthy of at least some inheritance.
