Description

Torn from her home, an unfortunate soul finds herself caught in an old and buried secret. The virulent elves who claim the poison within her have imprisoned her on their stormy island, some eager to see what will become of her, others eager to keep their secrets safe.

She finds an array of allies, even as she's hunted, and she will perhaps even find a lover. Her whole life she had been hidden. Now, unfurled before her, as the harbinger of something terrible and great, she finds Gha'alia.

Description

The main character is the player character and primary protagonist of Ebon Light.

Like her name and appearance, the main character's personality is completely determined by the player and their decisions. During initial customization, the player can choose to give the main character one of three personality types: Charm, Cunning, and Tenacity.

Description

One often forgets that Gha’alia is home to more than dark figures clad in iron and hide. It is the notion of many young Gha’alian soldiers that their dark world runs solely on the sway of their sword, forgetting entirely that there always has been, and always must be, the presence of commerce on their sullen little isle. Duliae is an esteemed figure, unique in this status among generals, tacticians and swordsmen. He has spent many long years cultivating trade lines and pumping blood into Gha’alia’s economy, an uphill battle if ever there was one in a place such as this. It would take a relentless, tenacious, cunning man determined to succeed, and Duliae has, splendidly. He is very wealthy, very well connected, and very untrustworthy. (From official site)

PersonalityBlunt, Honest, Patriotic, Pessimist, Serious, Short-tempered, Taciturn
RoleCousin, Half Elf, Older Brother, Soldier

Description

Some people take strangeness in stride, but others find little worse than being outside the commonplace. Ernol was born in the middle of an interfamily war of wills, an instant pawn in a game he had no interest in playing. His tale is not of overbearing expectation or unforgiving duty, when in fact these are the things which he bitterly craves. Instead of being born to the demanding General with his high stakes, strict rules, and fierce demands, Ernol was born to the prodigal son. He did not take to this, admiring his grandfather more than his father, wishing to be a warrior more than an outcast. He has a blistering temper, indignant pride and unnerving determination, all of which thoroughly blinded by desperation. (From official site)

PersonalityAssertive, Curious, Energetic, Insightful, Obsessive, Optimist, Romantic, Smart, Womanizer
RoleCousin, Half Elf, Soldier, Younger Brother
Engages inFlirting

Description

Haron is a master of capitalizing. He takes the hand he’s dealt and makes the most of it, all the while seeming to thrive no matter what way he’s forced to adapt. A critic might say it would be easy to roll with the punches when your lot in life is wealth, power and infamy, but Haron isn’t concerned with justifying much of anything. He sees the world in his own particular way, and uses his means to achieve personal goals which other Gha’alians perceive as frivolous or pointless. It’s been considered that were Haron to ever set his sights on a larger scheme, he might be a force to be reckoned with; eerily capable of talking, buying, manipulating, bribing and threatening his way in and out of all manner of things, but (thankfully?) his concerns have always been personal and self serving.

PersonalityAssertive, Cold-hearted, Loner, Reserved, Rude, Sharp-tongued, Stoic

Engages inArchery, Fighting, Kidnapping, Teasing

Description

Were one to ask after Laceaga among his superiors and peers, they would likely have nothing remarkable to say, unless they were to find his particular demeanor insulting, or happened to have great admiration for skill with a bow. Laceaga has had a few minorly impressive moments in his military career, but nothing which sent ripples through the Forces, just enough prestige to get him saddled with a scouting partner like Vadeyn Milirose. Laceaga seems unbothered by his slow advancement, as though this too is a calculation. For all intents and purposes, Laceaga is an ideal soldier. He relies on intimidation and aggression to get his way, unconcerned with little beyond serving the Forces and living a quiet life. He does have a few curious connections with the Onyx Chandler, and some might say he keeps himself too closed off from his peers, but no one is concerned about Laceaga, and that suits him just fine.

PersonalityAltruistic, Kind, Pacifist, Protective
RoleCousin, Elf, Older Brother, Soldier
Engages inArchery, Fighting

Description

The loveliest bloom comes from a barren garden, but so unaware of itself, so surrounded by prickles and weeds, it will either think itself no better, or think itself hopelessly lost. The mystery of how Vadeyn managed to cultivate such a soft heart in such an unforgiving atmosphere, no less how it has managed to remain uncrushed in the six decades Vadeyn has been alive, is a thing that’s piqued the interest and ire of many. He is, they will say, surely destined for tragedy; eventually to be consumed by the pressure, or snuffed out by it. However, Vadeyn has no interest in complete surrender just yet. His is a quiet-perhaps ridiculous-optimism, which nets him a few friends, and quite a few enemies. He has become self sufficient, prone to dreaming, and forced on occasion to become uncomfortably bold, for he has a vivid sense of nobility and grace. (From official site)

Side characters

Axsix Milirose
HairBlack, Long, Wavy
EyesGreen
BodyPale
ClothesEarrings
PersonalityCautious, Friendly, Pragmatic, Pretending, Smart
RoleAssassin, Elf, Full Brother, Soldier, Son, Uncle

Description

Axsix Milirose is the son of Mietwen and Gawloyes, and one of the many uncles of Haron, Ernol, Vadeyn and Calipoa.

He is charming, courteous and quite easy to smile, something very at odds with the intensity with which he regards the world around him. Indeed, despite being relatively quiet and mild-mannered, his studious gaze leaves people rather unsettled. Nevertheless, Calipoa describes him as one of her more pleasant relatives.

As an assassin, Axsix has killed many people in his life and is a very good liar, though a schemer might perhaps be a just as fitting; an underhanded Milirose assassin operating from the shadows.(from official website)

Calipoa Milirose
AliasesCali
Age54
HairBlack, Braid, Long
EyesBlue
BodyAdult, Pale, Scar
ItemsSword
PersonalityBrave, Friendly, Honest
RoleCommander, Cousin, Daughter, Elf, Granddaughter, Soldier
Engages inFighting

Description

Calipoa Milirose is a newly appointed commander in the First Division of the Forces, under the rule of her uncle, General Faelain. To say that her ascension was at all due to familial favoritism would be a grave mistake: there have been few who've mastered a sword as fast as she, and fewer still who couple this skill with drive and presence.

Calipoa is the only daughter of Reklien and Aliwiel Milirose; Aliwiel the second eldest princess of the reigning Liorian King and Queen, and Reklien the second eldest son of Gawloyes and Mietwen Milirose. Although one's pedigree often means little in Gha'alia, she is undeniably a pride to her family, and given the status of her family, a pride to all of Gha'alia.

But those who know her personally have remarked in hushed tones she is not always so laudable.(from official site)

Chandler Maseros

Description

A low-rank scout assigned to serve the main character.
According to Laceaga, he is afraid of fire.

Ecarae Falei
HairBlack, Short
EyesGreen
BodyPale, Scar
ClothesEarrings
PersonalityCold-hearted, Cynic, Sly, Stoic
RoleAssassin, Elf

Description

The Mask Ecarae Falei is typical seeming, among his brethren, in that his uncomfortable stares and slithering tone are commonplace for Masks. He works particularly close with former Mask Commander Mietwen, and has had many successful deployments in his increasingly prestigious career.
His current Mask Commander thinks he shows great potential as an assassin, though the truth is, his successful deployments were not always successful. Though he has hidden it well, he has, many times in the past, rearranged the terms of his deployments to better suit his personal needs... and he has, at times, avoided certain dangers, certain risks, that threaten his safety.

His mother is still alive, ashort-tempered former scout, retired after a leg injury, now a baker. He has a sister as well, but he sees neither her or their mother frequently. he lives alone. He is adept in poisons and finds the study of behavior and altered behavior fascinating.(from the in-game compendium).

Gawloyes Milirose
AliasesGrand General
Age156
HairBlack, Long, Ponytail
EyesBlue
BodyMuscular, Pale, Scar
PersonalityAmbitious, Serious, Smart, Violent
RoleElf, Father, Grandfather, Husband, Soldier

Description

Grand General of the Gha'alian Forces, Gawloyes Milirose, is an intimidating, fierce, and clever elf. Born in 746V age has made him no less fierce or hesitant to plunge himself personally into battle, traits that have certainly not gone unappreciated among his subordinates. He is a wildly celebrated elf often single handedly charged with guiding the direction of his country; the 'true king' of Gha'alia, some are even so bold to claim.

Despite having achieved the very highest status among his people he remains ambitious. A certain unnerving perseverance and unrelenting aggression inspire ferocity in the many who follow his lead, where his wisdom and largely successful record inspire faith and loyalty. For this, he regards his position with utmost pride and should the day ever come, he by no means intends to retire peacefully.(from official site)

Imre Lorgrest

PersonalitySecretive, Short-tempered

Description

A low-rank scout assigned to serve the main character.
He is a very private elf.
He is fancied by a few of his commanders and isn’t at all above taking advantage for his own advancement. source:link

According to Laceaga, he has difficulties to control his temper.

Lonre Milirose
HairAsymmetrical Sidehair, Black
EyesBlue
BodyPale
ClothesPendant Earrings
PersonalityEccentric, Mischievous, Rebellious, Sharp-tongued, Whimsical
RoleElf, Father, Full Brother, Husband, Son, Uncle, Wealthy

Description

Lonre Milirose is the fourth son of Gawloyes and Mietwen Milirose.

His eldest brother, Faelain, is a wildly successful general in his own right, and lived up to the burden of a firstborn.

The second eldest, Reklien, shows equal promise in his relentless efforts to overcome Faelain. Lonre was left in a curious place, lacking a certain desire to wrestle in the struggle of his brothers, finding an extreme distaste in the struggle at all. Gha'alia, eternally burning, eternally biting at its own heel, felt useless and redundant to him from a very young age.

His descent into the role of the prodigal son began in his teenage years at adamant refusal to play by honored Gha'alian rules. He would take no training, and that forced on him would be made a mockery. By the time he was an adult, he had already been publicly disowned, and though all expected him to fall and perish in an unforgiving world offering him nothing but ire, he managed to flourish. He married a cannibal, erected a house to further mock his father at every baseboard, and brought three children to further muddy his father's name.(from official website)

Mietwen Milirose
HairBlack, Long, Twin Braids
EyesGreen
BodyPale
PersonalityJealous, Obsessive, Serious, Stubborn
RoleElf, Grandmother, Mother, Veteran, Wife

Description

Mietwen Milirose is a feared and beloved woman of terrifying esteem. Even before marrying the Grand General, she had been famous among her people; an assassin of exceptional skill, who did what assassins mustn't and became known for her face and name. Her marriage came at a fortunate time in her career; no longer able to depend on anonymity, a notable marriage to, arguably, the most powerful man in Gha'alia kept her out of the Gha'alian Alluvion's typical discharge. In a not unrelated event shortly thereafter, the Alluvion was dismantled and replaced by the Gha'alian Masks. Mietwen was appointed Mask Commander.

Mietwen remained Mask Commander through a series of successful campaigns, until retiring shortly after the birth of her seventh son. She has become more and more reclusive in recent years, though is still frequently seen at her husband's side in less formal settings. Though she is no longer Mask Commander and her days as an assassin are long behind her, many suspect she is still very much active. Whether or not this is with Gawloyes' sanction or outside his reach remains the popular question.

Skylar Selund
HairBrown, Curly, Parted to Side
EyesAmber
BodyAdult, Makeup, Mole, Tanned
ClothesBlouse, Earrings, Puffy Sleeves, Skirt, Vest
PersonalityMoody, Rude
RoleFriend, Half Elf, Wealthy

Description

Skylar is a half-elf, born to a wealthy elven mother and merchant human father. Half-elves are not particularly common in Gha’alia, and not looking the part kept Skylar from smoothly falling in line. Instead, Skylar prowls the upper echelons of Gha’alia’s wealthy; a small little subculture of powerful pariahs failing or rebelling against Gha’alian status quo, bolstered by their financial means, or their woeful necessity. She seems a perky, bright-eyed young woman; but she is keenly aware of what subtle things go on around her, and most certainly up to an agenda of her own.(from official website)

Vanya Goffil
HairBraid, Bun, Grey, Long
EyesBlue
BodyOld, Older Appearance, Wrinkles
ClothesRags
PersonalityBlunt, Distrustful, Hard Worker, Loner, Misanthrope, Moody, Pessimist, Sharp-tongued
RoleAunt

Description

Vanya Goffil (Surname is customizable) is not particularly forthcoming about her past. She was never married, has no children of her own, and has no friends to speak of either, but to ask her, this is exactly how she wanted it.

When Vanya's brother, Koris, died, Alenca was nine years old. With her father dead, Alenca was an orphan, and the task of raising a child fell to Vanya. Despite an air of protest, she took up the task faithfully. She is not one for idle prattle or nonsense, spending most of her time concentrated on little else than survival. She enjoys the barest of creature comforts, is easily frustrated, lacking patience and harbors a disdain for the vast majority of people.

Despite her gruff demeanor, Vanya cares deeply for her niece.(from official website).

BodyPale
ClothesDress, Gothic, Necklace, Ring
PersonalityCruel, Curious, Sharp-tongued
RoleHalf Elf, Sadist

Description

Ernol and Haron's sister. She is a pale woman, with long, white hair, which is a rarity for Gha'alians. She most likely inherited it from her harpy mother, along with her dark eyes.(official website).

Avron is the only one of Lonre's children that’s really taken up his business; and in that regard, she’s more or less his protege. She has zero interest in the Gha’alian forces or indeed, any of Gha’alia ‘traditional’ culture, and loves to travel. She’s… something of a sadist and not one you’d want to pay you much attention, good *or* bad, unless you were very brave or liked to play games.(from developper's blog link)

HairBrown, Bun, Long, Straight
EyesAmber
BodyAdult, Tanned
ClothesCrown, Dress
PersonalityCoward, Curious, Mischievous, Selfish
RoleNoble, Non-human, Wealthy
Engages inFlirting

Description

The title of a Countessa marks her as a member of nobility, though it is unknown from which sovereignty she hails from. Forah is not a human and takes great offence when you suggest as much, but beyond having "peculiar" eyes, she does not appear any different.

While she can be very bold and rash in social situations, especially when pursuing something she wants, during which she can be very selfish and outright ruthless, she is quick to shy from situations that could potentially hurt her.

She is trying to find her place in life and is attracted to things that seem to have answers she does not, probably explaining her intent interest in the Cuthintal.

She is very wealthy and, as far as the exploitation of other people is involved, not all that concerned with any sort of morality consideration, even going as far as directly owning slaves.(from official website)

RoleFather, Full Brother, Pirate
Engages inBoating

Description

Rylen cannot be more than thirty years old, and no one would be quick to calling him wise or mature, but he has a certain knowledge behind his eyes, grown from either grand or terrible experiences. He has an older brother, Tiernan. Any other family he rarely speaks of.

When exactly Rylen turned to piracy is something of a blur, even to the man himself, who seems to think he has always been among the crew of The Serpentine. He expresses no desire to change nor seems to regret a thing, yet, for as amoral as this surely makes him, he is relatively pleasant to be around. He is quick to smiling, even cryptic as that smile sometimes is, and is trusted and befriended by most of his crew.(from official website)
