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 5 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 7.
	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. Prince Reynaud of Regalia Soon:TM: Prince Frederick of Regalia Soon:TM: Prince Raymond of Regalia Soon:TM: 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 11 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 3, 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 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. 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. Duchess Aliandre of Regalia Soon:TM: Baroness Shelia-Manon of Regalia Soon:TM: Consul Constantine of Regalia Soon:TM: 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 5, 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.
