The Mythics Archives

First Character
Name: Coal
Gender: male
Age:16
Species: phoenix
Physical Appearance: He’s that one friend, the one that looks like he’s been malnourished from birth, but is surprisingly strong. His slightliness provides a great advantage in flight, and he has better endurance than many. He is also pretty short at 5’5”. He has brown skin, coal-black eyes, and greasy, shoulder-length black hair. His feathers are mostly black with red edges. He has deerskin pants and a cloth shirt that goes down the front and around his waist.
Personality: He is fearless and impulsive. He loved fire. And he loves women, too.
Backstory (optional): Coal's mother was a "Lady of the Night" at Bird Point. While she gave up her first child for adoption, in broke her heart, and she swore that if she ever had another, she would raise him as best she could. That child was Coal. While Coal never grew up with much, his mother loved him in the best way she could. But Coal's adventurous spirit lead him on, and he grew curious about his older sister. She wasn't hard to spot. She looked so much like his mother, and he knew she was half Harpy. Ever since he was 13, he saw her, sometimes, sneaking around and looking all suspicious. Apparently, illicit activity ran in the family. Well, Coal wanted to get in on that. He also wanted to talk to her some day. But his Ember sightings were rare, and he was always unconveniently engaged. One night, he saw her again, and he gathered all of his confidence and bluster and decided to follow Ember.

Second Character
Name: Martha
Gender: female
Age: 37
Species: human
Physical Appearance: to say that giving birth to eight children and working in a bakery had no affect on her figure would be a lie. She’s a little plumper than the standard of the time called for, but she is trying to maintain her weight. Wears her hair up in brown ringlets. Fair skin. A button nose and blue eyes. A round face and slight double chin(this was desirable at the time. source:trust me bro). Is always wearing makeup. Wears a baker’s uniform at work but dresses up quite fancily otherwise, despite her modest salary. Puts great effort into her appearance.
Personality: Her demure attitude belies the fact that she’s scraping and struggling to keep everything tied up in a neat bow, even as it’s falling apart. Thanks to her pride and stubbornness, she is not going to ask for help! Knows little of the Mythics and is very afraid of them. Always tired.
Backstory (optional): Martha was the resplendent wife of a moderately wealthy merchant, living at home, taking care of the house and doting on their eight children. Her husband Gerald was often at sea, she didn’t see him much, but their relationship was a loving one. When Martha was 36, life insurance was only starting in the colony. And certainly Gerald didn’t need it! He was healthy as a horse!
His ship was captured by pirates and he was never heard from again.
All of his money went to Martha, but, she knew it wouldn’t last. After mourning for a year, she began working at the bakery with Layna, who I just realized has a story almost identical to hers(look I wanted to make Layna a nice friend). She wakes up and arrives at the bakery at 4 am and bakes until noon. While she is gone, her oldest child (a 14 year old boy) watches the house. Then she comes home and does the usual duties of a housewife (which were a lot before modern appliances.) Her meager income is enough to feed her large family, but she fears she is watching the curtain close on her fine house as her savings drain away. Soon, she may have to sell it.
Martha rarely has time to herself anymore, but when she is out, she wonders whether a man would look her way and marry someone her age. The prospects are grim.

Third Character
Name: Mary
Gender: female
Age: 14
Species: harpy
Physical Appearance: living Disney princess. Black wings and brown, wavy hair. A dreamy face and a creamy complexion. A little slip of a girl. Big, blue eyes. Rosy cheeks. Wears a flowing halterneck dress and little shoes.
Personality: Loves to talk to birds. Often has her head in the clouds, sometimes figuratively, sometimes figuratively. While her bird-talking is seen as a bit asocial, it is more than made up for by her kindness to everyone.
Backstory (optional): Grew up with two loving parents and some siblings at Bird Point. A long history of talking to birds. I don’t really know how she would fit into the rp but I got a picture in my mind and wanted to make her for some reason. I won’t be mad if I don’t ever get to play her.
