Notable Characteristics: Former leader of the Vyna coven in Brún before merging it with the

Granlow coven under the then-new leadership of werewolf Pontious Granlow. Avoids emotion and all earthly cravings as he feels they only destroy. As such, Vyvyr is quiet, reserved, and extremely well read.

Brief History: During his younger years, Vyvyr lived a life of solitude. Living a nomadic lifestyle, Vyvyr concerned himself a great deal with unifying himself with the universe and trying to bring a balance to Havoc that he feared was trapped in a downward, self-destructive spiral. He spent years with Randist monks in the Kyrgenti mountains in northern Arctanica, mastering meditation, conquering his worldly self and ultimately banishing his emotional, attached self in order to achieve a higher existence. And through these monks, Vyvyr also learned the arts of war, becoming a master of melee weapons but finally settling on a new form of weapon at the time: a long barreled, six-shot rifle that was considered to be the pinnacle of technology. And so, with his new weapon, Vyvyr became a master marksman, incorporating the lessons he learned from the Randist monks to purge fear, bridle emotion, and become the ultimate tool of destruction. During his tenure at the Randist monastery, Vyvyr dedicated himself to being well-read and well-educated as he was more than aware of the advantage that the intelligent and the educated had over their less-learned peers. But, what Vyvyr considered to be most important in the teachings he was given by these Randist monks was his understanding between the worlds of good and evil as well as the alarming frequency at which the two coincide. Randist monks, using the then current events as a reference, predicted the world's end though in terms too vague for Vyvyr to draw any real conclusions.  Knowing that the world is made evil only through the actions of evil people, Vyvyr decided that, in order to save Havoc, he would have to end the lives of those who were more corrupt than good. So armed with a newfound education, Vyvyr set out into the world with the one idea in mind that he would hunt and kill these men who, after years of study, he had determined to be the roots of Havoc's evil. Over the next ten years, Vyvyr kept busy assassinating these individuals until he came to one man, a Durant with powers and abilities like he had never seen before. That man, Vladmir Frenz, was the leader of the world's largest crime syndicate, the Dakuya. With his vast resources, the man had sustained a network of drug and human trafficking  that had connections in nearly every city and large town in Solara. This man, as Vyvyr had come to decide, was the world's ultimate evil and made Frenz his primary target. After decades of hunting him in his home city of Styne, Vyvyr eventually reaches a brutal and violent confrontation with Frenz which ends with Vyvyr near death. After several months spent in recovery, Vyvyr revises his tactics and realizes that, to destroy Frenz, he must have an army behind him. After returning to the Kyrgenti mountains where he recovers in the company of the Randist monks, Vyvyr departs to the coastal city of Brún and becomes a low-level member of the Vyna coven, led by the dark, brutal, Syn Vyna, another person of interest on Vyvyr's hitlist. After rising through the ranks with ease, Vyvyr becomes a close agent of Syn. Vyvyr then slits her throat in her sleep, publically claims responsibility and takes control of the Vyna coven in its violent struggle against the Granlow coven. Not long after assuming leadership, word of a young werewolf, the son of his nemesis Carnway Granlow, reaches Vyvyr. Vyvyr goes out of his way to reach out to this young man, one Pontious Granlow. Vyvyr offers his support to Pontious's cause and becomes his mentor. From there, the Carnway crime empire begins to crumble until it is dismantled entirely. Together, Pontious and Vyvyr rebuild Brún and establish a society where Vampires, Werewolves, Humans, and all minorities can peacefully coexist. And in the days prior to the Union, a community as vastly populated and peacefully kept was one-of-a-kind.

     World war eventually reached Brún's doorstep and Vyvyr, with Pontious at his side and an army of Werewolves, Vampires, and humans at his back, was prepared to repel it. However, speaking with the General Luke Semprys came as a revelation to Vyvyr. It was a well-known fact that Vladmir Frenz, being the powerful and charismatic individual he was, was a prominent leader in the forces that staunchly opposed the formation of the Union. Semprys, as Vyvyr had observed, was a tool against evil. In Randism, this 'tool against evil' was referred to as the
Hibula
, and according to Randist scripture, this Luke Semprys could easily be that man. Semprys was powerful, dominant, and most importantly, had his sights set squarely on Vladmir Frenz. Vyvyr decided that Luke Semprys's arrival was of divine intervention, and when the question of Vyvyr's and Pontious's alliance came into question it was no hard decision. Vyvyr and Pontious joined the Ditrinity and, alongside Luke Semprys, Miles Scarsborough, Samuel Alighieri and Morlo Greyhorn, continued the war and went on to establish the Republican Union of Relias.

Notable Characteristics: Descendant of rare group of Werewolves without

Hair pigment, leader of the Granlow coven that merged with the Vyna coven under

Vyvyr Syvyr's leadership.

Brief History: When he was a young boy, Pontious was being raised as an eventual replacement for his father, Carnway, to assume command of the Granlow Empire. This preordination set poorly with Pontious, who rejected the inheritance and became an outlaw in his father’s eyes. As such, he was made a target by both the vampires of the Vyna Coven and the Werewolves of the Granlow Organization. Eventually he would capitalize on the discontent among the werewolves and vampire unaffiliated with either the Granlow Organization or the Vyna Coven who were made out to be second class citizens. Eventually this led to an uprising led by Pontious himself, a move that garnered the support and eventual alliance of Vyvyr Syvyr, leader of the Vyna coven. After a bloody revolt against the Granlow coven and the hold that it had on the southwestern half of Brún, the Granlow Empire was overthrown with Carnway Granlow dying at the hands of his son, Pontious. Pontious would go on to champion a truce between the vampire and werewolf races, becoming a close companion of Vyvyr and eventually joining the ranks of the Ditrinity.

Religious Affiliation: Duranism

Notable Characteristics: Former member of the Ditrinity, Luke's adoptive brother and

Best friend.

Brief History: When he was young, Miles found himself to be a leader amongst the adolescents in a small town just outside of Diamide. With his father, Peter Scarsborough, being their unquestioned leader, attention and envy were things that Miles had become accustomed to. However, upon the arrival of a young boy named Mylo, Miles would soon find attention shifting away from him and towards this newcomer. After Peter adopted the boy, this fact was cemented.

     Following the incident that lead to the beginning of the Relias Wars, Miles would soon discover that Mylo was the last surviving member of the Semprys lineage. This lead to the reformation of the Ditrinity and his unquestioning loyalty to Luke and the Ditrinity.

     After playing a supporting role in the formation of the Union, Miles would later see his role in the Ditrinity expand upon its subversion and the consequential Durant Revolution. He would be captured at the Invasion of Elysium following the passage of the Durant Relocation Act and would serve a term at the Kreckis labor camp where he would die from disease and malnutrition.

Family:

Karlea Scarsborough- Wife

Trey Scarsborough- Son

Phoenix Scarsborough AKA Serenity Blake- Biological daughter

Phoenix Serenity Blake (Formerly Scarsborough)

Age: 18

Race: Half Durant, Half Human

Height: 5'10"

Hair: Dark Brown

Weight: 115 lbs.

Eyes: Brown

Build: Slender, Athletic

Weapon of Choice: Momentum Bracers, Ballistics

Religious Affiliation: Duranism

Notable Characteristics: Named Phoenix by her father, while her mother insisted she be named Serenity, they compromised by making them her first and second names. Phoenix was, as her father said, a stronger, the name of a warrior in an emerging warrior culture. Her mother, though, rejected the escalating war between the Durants, Darks, and the Commune and wanted a more peaceful and feminine name. Over the years, Serenity emerged as the name most people used, while the name Phoenix is one only a few are aware of.

Brief History: Following the invasion of Elysium, one of the consequential events of the signing of the Durant Relocation Act, Karlea took Serenity, nine years old at the time, and left Miles and Trey who refused to abandon the war against the Commune. With Serenity in tow, Karlea fled to the northern most regions of Elvytica to the town of Demondrak, a place where the Commune had minimal presence. With the Durant Relocation Act and the Durant Revolution being nothing more than a passing conversation, a deeply depressed Karlea found love again with a man named Robert Blake. After several months of dating, the two were engaged and eventually married in 260 M.I. It wasn't long before the man's abusive nature emerged and there was a good amount of animosity that he directed towards Serenity. Serenity, however, kept mostly to herself and kept her mind firmly grounded in the world beyond Demondrak.  Knowing that her father and brother were risking their lives fighting against the Commune while she lived in isolation, Serenity involved herself in a number of extra-curricular activities, all involving combat and self-defense. Eventually, after mastering nearly a dozen different methods of combat by the time she was sixteen, Serenity focused on mixed-martial arts, a form of combat she felt possessed an effective and brutal efficiency that she felt was necessary to combat the types of people she knew she'd eventually face. Not long after her sixteenth birthday, though, Karlea began suffering a series of hallucinations and severe headaches. After undergoing a series of tests, Karlea was informed of a cancerous tumor near her brainstem. Within months, despite aggressive treatment, Karlea passed just days before Serenity's 17th birthday. Within days, Serenity grabbed what few things she needed, ran away from home and set off to Brún where she was convinced she would be able to find direction to a Dark sleeper cell, operations which, following the Darks' defeat at Olsgrad, were scarce outside the borders of their stronghold in Praemon. However, it was in Brún where, entirely by chance, she fell into contact with Pontious Granlow and Vyvyr Syvyr, the two of them spending time in the city they considered their home to regain old alliances and rebuild the ranks of the Dark rebellion. With their information she made her way to Praemon and joined the Dark's ranks mere months before she would be recruited by Samuel Alighieri to take part in a high-priority, confidential operation known as Operation Rush.
