hehe, guess I may as well add my characters in~
(also, I'm trying to keep these short to save time....If I posted it the way I wanted, I'd probably take up an entire forum by myself >>; so here's the abridged versions! XD)
Saeris
past - Saeris has always been a bit of a black sheep. Her entire family tree consisted of valiant and loyal crusaders, and even her twin brother aspired to join them. Indeed, even her family name "Gallant" suggested a life of swordsmanship, faith, and discipline. However, while her brother trained in swordsmanship and faith in god, Saeris refused to join him and instead locked herself away in her room daily, finding joy in her growing library of books on every subject and fiction.
In her studies she learned of magic, and of the elusive "sages" that, unlike wizards, relied on both their minds and bodies to manipulate magic and the elements in ways unknown to others. These sages fascinated her, and she soon dreamed of becoming one of them.
Sadly, this did not go well with her parents. They saw magic, sage's magic in particular, as treading upon god's domain. While others in her family did not see eye to eye with her parents, the consensus was clear: Saeris was forbidden to learn magic. Distraught by this, Saeris ran away from home to seek her dream without her family.
She was overjoyed when her enrollment in the Magic Academy in Geffen was approved, and did her best in all her studies. However, it was very apparent that her best was not very good. Saeris barely passed every class, and her peers often teased her for her dream to become a sage. "A failure like you isn't good enough to be a sage!" "Sages are weak anyway. Anyone who wants to be one obviously isn't very smart." Saeris took each insult in silence and refused to give up.
Even as the class failure, she managed to graduate from the Magic Academy (barely) and began her quest to Juno, where she could finally become a sage. This was much easier than she thought it would be, and with her knowledge of the world, not the brute force of magic, she became a sage easily.
Afterwards she continued in her studies and adventures through Midgard, aimlessly searching for her next big hurdle...
personality - Saeris was once a very kind, funny, and generous person. However, her family's hatred of her aspirations, and the ridicule of her old classmates, has made the spirited young girl into a detached, sarcastic woman. While often seen as "spaced out," mistrusting, shy, or cold, anyone who can get under her protective emotional shell will find that the girl she once was is still alive and well, though only among friends.
However, if you don't want to spend hours upon days upon hours getting to know her, getting her drunk has the same effect...
EDIT! Here's Tiv's bio. Compared to the rest of the characters here, I'd say he's lived a fairly boring life 
Tiv Pifilloffolus
Past - Tiv is a half demon, the child of a human mother and the incubus that seduced her. He was raised for most of his childhood in a secret, unknown village where humans that sympathize with monsters, and monsters that refuse to fight humans, can live peacefully together. With his inherited incubus charm, coupled with his naturally bubbly and enjoyable attitude, he quickly made friends of all kinds. However, while he had many friends who are not human, he was raised knowing difference between monsters that won't hurt humans, and monsters that will, and it was quickly apparent that he would make a great adventurer.
Eventually he grew curious of the world outside, and of the war between humans and monsters. Seeing this, his mother decided to take him to live in Payon, while his father remained hidden in the village. Despite his charm he generally did not make many friends, knowing what they would do if they knew what he really was. With his natural "charisma" the only ability inherited from his father, and having nothing to do without his friends, Tiv turned to archery in Payon as his primary skill, only to later find that his true skills lay in music. He amazed people with his musical prowess and amazing singing voice, his audience oblivious to the fact that it was really his incubus side that was captivating them. Utilizing this, he became a bard and traveled the world.
Eventually he returned to his old village to see his father and friends again, only to find that it was no longer there. In order to stay hidden, they had packed up and left to parts unknown after he and his mother had left. They couldn't take chances. Tiv, being his usual upbeat self, decided that if he kept traveling as he had been he'd find them eventually, and continued on to wherever his feet took him.
Personality - If there was one word to describe Tiv, it would be "lighthearted." Being serious is almost impossible for him, and he rarely thinks before speaking. The last time he was serious, or even quiet, Nifflheim became bright and sunny and Morroc got snowed out for the day.
He also tends to flirt with almost anyone in sight, regardless of gender. This usually make things very awkward...
More to come~! (yes, I'm serious. I have a lot of characters I give stories too)
