Profiles

This Page will detail recurring Event Characters / Notable Individuals portrayed by Staff Members that have some relevance to the longer-running overarching story of MassiveCraft. Some of these characters may feel overwhelming to interact with, or arcane to understand, so this Page gives a couple of very simple do's and don'ts and hints on how to successfully approach them one way or another. Some of the Profiles created here are Gods, some are important people, but some may also just be regular nobodies. Still working with (or against) them may have some bearing on furthering Aloria's Story. Note, if a God is present on this page, it usually means this God may appear in Regalia without the use of Divinium, but only in rare circumstances.

Augustin the Furyborn

caption	Overview:	Augustin is a Furyborn mercenary warlord from La Frontierra commonly referred to as the "King of Hell," a complete opportunist with no scruples and disregard for the lives of his enemies.
	Function:	Augustin is a quest-giver for anyone who is okay shedding a few principles if it means they can make quick cash. Working with him is as lucrative as it is uncomfortable, but he is an honest man.
	Notability:	Augustin is famous on the Daen-Allorn frontier as a glorious bastard bar none, but sometimes he appears in Regalia to source work or find new recruits for his army of no-good vagabonds.
	Persuasion:	Augustin's Persuasion Stat is 8 if Persuasion is specifically being used to calm him down from a fit of anger, something he has learned to take others' counsel on. Otherwise, it is 10.
	Alliances:	Augustin will work with literally anyone who will work with him. From the harshest Lothar purists to the bloodiest Argentum, he has shaken just as many of their hands as he has cut them off.
	Animosity:	Augustin hates Viridian Knights with a passion and will immediately turn hostile if one is brought into the scene. He dislikes other Knights too, but not so much that it cannot be worked around.
	Appearances:	Augustin can be seen around Crookback sometimes when he is looking for people to offer bounties, or in the City if he would like to sell something to Nobles, or persuade them to sponsor him.
Important Notes: Augustin is a planned important character for the Winter 2023 Progression & Ingame Story Arc. Interacting with him whether by taking his jobs or opposing him guarantees the interacting Character some degree of insight into what this Story Arc is going to be and where it is going to happen, as well as giving them advantages of both information and material when it occurs. Interacting with Augustin enough can also make his lieutenants begin appearing, especially as release date approaches.

Thirun the Arken

caption	Overview:	Thirun is the Arken of Pride, but also the Fornoss God of Magic and Vanity. Thirun is generally seen as an Enemy of Regalia, because he has done many things to obstruct the Government and Peace.
	Function:	Thirun is a chaos agent, who appears in Regalia to shake things up when appropriate, or drop a bombshell of information when inappropriate. Do not expect him to act in favor of anyone.
	Notability:	Thirun has a long list of notable appearances, most recently, being the catalyst for the Vampire Occupation, by spreading Vampiric Infection like wildfire in the population and making them incurable.
	Persuasion:	Thirun has the highest Persuasion Stat possible at 14 all the time. Even then, there may be times where a Persuasion Dice might fail due to the arbitrary Chaos-agent nature of Thirun.
	Alliances:	Thirun's alliances are complicated because they exist in inherent contradictions. He is favorable to Pride/Fury Arkenborn and those who flatter him, but hates them if they should be incompetent or wastrels.
	Animosity:	Thirun has no express enemies save for the Justice Arken, though is very liberal with his distaste for anyone who expresses self-deprecation, or other forms of self-doubt and insecurity in front of him.
	Appearances:	Thirun is a very rare appearance, worst of all, he rarely appears as himself recognizably, but usually disguised as an Arkenborn or lesser Demon of some kind so as not to arouse concern or suspicion.
Important Notes: Thirun is by all accounts considered extremely dangerous and should not be approached with indignance and callousness or apathy. Out of all Profiles present on this Page, he is the least accountable to norms and principles, and acts capricious even when summoned through Divinium, which can be used to call upon him as he is a Fornoss God. Extreme caution should be taken around him, not to appear hostile or irreverent, but also not to appear too reverent so as to appear weak and docile.

Erlend the Roadwatcher

caption	Overview:	Erlend is a Roadwatcher in Gloomrot Forest, who tends the Lion's Repose, granting drinks to weary travelers and a safe haven from the dangers of the forest. Erlend is an older Arkenborn of Pride.
	Function:	Erlend functions as a main-stay in Gloomrot to always provide a place to Roleplay. He also possesses a Magical Library full of deep hidden information which he may share for the right price and people.
	Notability:	Erlend has no notability. While his birth record and service record all check out, he is otherwise a historical nobody with no fame to his name, and a somewhat vague personal history from Calemberg.
	Persuasion:	Erlend's Persuasion Stat is 6, as Erlend is generally speaking a gregarious and affable individual. That being said, concerning his Library, he is fiercely defensive, and has a Persuasion Stat of 11.
	Alliances:	Erlend is generally positively inclined towards everyone, but shows particular favor towards Arkenborn, more-so to the Void-sided, and particularly to Fury and Pride Arkenborn of good standing.
	Animosity:	Erlend shows aggression and open hostility to Justice Arkenborn, and Spirits. While he will not outright attack Spirits, he has been known to mind-control Spirits who enter the Repose against their will.
	Appearances:	Erlend is only ever seen in or around the Lion's Repose. He does not leave close proximity to the Library, but as he is around every week, it is hard to not catch him during the usual 21:00 EST Bar time.
Important Notes: Erlend is a Country-Bum from the Opper Calem area. As such, his behavior is very country-side appropriate, and he may take offense to some of the city-people's grandstanding attitudes. He is known to not put much stock in the concept of Nobility, and finds disrespectful people intolerable to be around. Especially do not treat him like a charity case, apologize with money, or pay excessive amounts for simple services, as squandering money is considered offensive in the countryside.

Intan the Arken

caption	Overview:	Intan is the Arken of Avarice, a haughty but friendly Rama Allar and self-proclaimed Digmaan with a jovial attitude that conceals his fearsome nature.
	Function:	Intan is very willing to bargain, and will make deals with literally anyone, because he is ruled by his greed. To his enjoyment but the fear of those who must engage with him, they are always to his benefit.
	Notability:	Intan is a Digmaan in Hadar, who rules a Kingdom thralled to believe he is not Magical at all. He appears around the world to spend his immense wealth and acquire or forge new Artifacts for his collection.
	Persuasion:	Intan’s Persuasion stat is 10. This can be lowered by gifting him Artifacts (-5) or flattering him (-2 in most cases, -4 if pledging loyalty to him).
	Alliances:	Intan aligns with anyone who aligns with him. He is fond of Savellon Worshipers, Dwarves, and Allar. Unlike most Arken, he is relatively Dimension blind, just not loyalty blind.
	Animosity:	Intan is fearful of the Arken of Justice, hateful of the Arken of Compassion, and envious of the Arken of Pride and Power. He also never forgives anyone who has ever stolen from him.
	Appearances:	Intan likes to act through his cultists, heralds, and Pacted. He can also be summoned or discussed with through his Coins of Greed, and has appeared in Regalia in the past.
Important Notes: Intan owns a pocket dimension called the Infinite Vault of Avarice, and a physical Kingdom in Hadar. While the Kingdom is not a player in the ongoing Civil War, the Infinite Vault of Avarice is said to hold enough wealth to buy out half a continent. Both are considered incredibly dangerous, but a heist of legend for the best thieves in history. Before he was an Allar, he was an Asha, and before that, a Dwarf. He has been an Allar for seventy years.

Artarel the Arken

caption	Overview:	Artarel is the Arken of Justice, as well as the Herald of Leyon from Estelley. Despite this holy status, Justice is not quite State-aligned, and more State-vigilante, doing what she thinks is right.
	Function:	Artarel is a patron of the Estelley Faithful, who always appears helpful and protective of their desires, but is also an exacting and demanding master who asks for very inconvenient things.
	Notability:	Artarel has appeared in Regalia many times, but her appearances are rarely noteworthy unless they are done to save her worshipers from humiliation or destruction, or to somehow oppose the Pride Arken.
	Persuasion:	Persuasion does not work on Artarel, and attempts to use Persuasion on her will result in detection and hostility. She is the only written entity who can always immediately tell when Persuasion is being used.
	Alliances:	Artarel aligns with anyone who backs her definition of justice: "as does the doer, unto them is done." Her work towards enforcing this "Old Law" makes her friends with Estelley zealots.
	Animosity:	Artarel's nemesis is the Pride Arken, Thirun, who she is constantly preparing for her climactic battle with. She is hateful towards the liars, killers, and other people who land on her List of all Sinners.
	Appearances:	Artarel is a regular sight at Floral Court, where there are rumors that some of the priests have earned her favor enough to summon her down. If she appears outside of this context, it is always trouble.
Important Notes: Artarel is one of the most dangerous entities on Aloria because she is completely ignorant to all forms of context and mercy. If one of her own devoted cultists called her down after murdering someone out of turn, she would put them to the sword on the spot. Immense caution should be taken in summoning her to make sure that everyone in the summoning party has been keeping their act clean, and that no one is hiding any inconvenient truths, because Artarel can see through any mortal lie.

Prince Cedromar of Regalia

caption	Overview:	Cedromar is the reincarnated Draconism God of Mediation, and younger brother to the Emperor of Regalia. Born Ailor, he also held Emperorship for 1 year before passing it to his brother Alexander again.
	Function:	Cedromar acts as an enigmatic sage and mentor, though often delivering lessons that are as hard to live out as they are to understand. He acts with an invisible hand in the lives of most Dragon-Aligned.
	Notability:	Cedromar as the reincarnated soul of Regulus, has re-initiated the rebirth of Dragons, reviving them from the dead. Also as Regalian Emperor, he achieved fame for being a Soldier-Emperor with brutal efficiency.
	Persuasion:	Cedromar's Persuasion Stat is 8, as he is generally affable and gullible to the good intentions of others. That being said, some topics with regards to Dragons may result in an automatic Persuasion Failure.
	Alliances:	Cedromar shows particular favor on Dragon-Aligned, but in general is not shy of being capable of making friends everywhere. Even Evolists or Argentum Knights may find him sociable if they aren't killers.
	Animosity:	Cedromar is generally hostile to no-one, except those who violate his sanctity of life and Draconic Policies of the Radical right to Life. He never becomes outwardly hostile however, and is avoidant.
	Appearances:	Cedromar appears when least expected, and generally does not appear when asked for. He can be summoned with Divinium, but may randomly appear anywhere in Regalia for no particular reason at all.
Important Notes: While Cedromar has become very detached from public life and life as an Ailor in the Regalian Empire, it is still important to note he insists on Imperial Palace Protocol, and to not draw him into conversations that would be critical of the Regalian Empire which he is still a fervent supporter of. Cedromar's official title address is "Your Imperial Highness", and he has been known to find the name "Regulus" to be offensive, even if that is technically his true identity.

Ammalla the Arken

caption	Overview:	Ammalla is the Arken of Rejection, as well as the Herald of Morrlond from Estelley. Despite this holy status, Rejection is explicitly not State-Aligned, and more State-Neutral, supporting those the state oppresses.
	Function:	Ammalla is the patron of the rejected and oppressed, who appears to offer guidance and support to those struggling with rejection, and learn not to hate it, but accept it as a part of life.
	Notability:	Ammalla appears very frequently to mingle with people, she is, paradoxically, very social. However she very rarely imparts actual power or direction to her followers, instead giving vague life-advice.
	Persuasion:	Ammalla's Persuasion Stat is 4 for those she considers "Rejected," and 8 for anyone else. That being said, attempts to persuade her to harm the "Rejected" may result in an automatic Persuasion Failure.
	Alliances:	Ammalla favors the "Rejected," most commonly Arkenborn, peoples ostracized by society, the poor, and so on. Notably, this excludes Vampires, and people who crave the power to oppress others.
	Animosity:	Ammalla is generally hostile to no-one, even those who reject others, because she sees it as a part of life. However, she does not approve of excessive abuse and violence, and particularly loathes Vampires.
	Appearances:	Ammalla appears almost exclusively in the Regalian Sewers, and will often show up when people are at their lowest in life. She will infrequently disguise herself, but usually appears as herself.
Important Notes: While Ammalla is considered a non-violent Arken, it is important to note that she is still an Arken, and can be capricious with the guidance she gives: one day she will tell someone to just make peace with their rejection and move on, and another day she will encourage them to violently rage against those who denied them. She is most willing to give advice, but almost never actual powers or benefits, as she encourages one to accept what they have, and who they are.

Ixchel the Arken

caption	Overview:	Ixchel is the Arken of Compassion, as well as the Herald of Mana to the Estelley faithful.
	Function:	Ixchel is a patron of the Estelley Faithful, but her attention is often spread, prioritizing helping those in need across Aloria.
	Notability:	Ixchel has appeared in Regalia at multiple points, but her appearances are often unannounced and unnoticed.
	Persuasion:	Persuasion nearly always works on Ixchel, her persuasion stat is 1. She is a bleeding heart who will hear out almost any request, so long as it does not require harming another being.
	Alliances:	Ixchel is amicable to anyone and everyone, regardless of who or what they may be. She believes that anyone and everyone is capable of changing for the better and should be shown grace.
	Animosity:	Ixchel has no one she would consider an enemy, but she does have some dislike for the Fury Arken and his unending pursuit of violence.
	Appearances:	Ixchel often appears in Floralcourt or other nature heavy areas in Regalia, however she does occasionally take on different personas to help those who may be ill at ease with her presence.
Important Notes: Ixchel never raises a hand in violence, regardless of if harm may come to herself because of it. As a result it is considered surprisingly easy to capture her, but where Ixchel goes, Artarel is often nearby and many unfortunate kidnappers do not take into account the presence of the other Arken.
