Appearance


The twins share many things in common, their appearance being the most obvious to an unknown passer-by. As something not often seen in the human regions, the identical twins, when together, often attract more than a fleeting glance. When apart, one might be mistaken for the other; a mistake that the brothers have abused in the past. At a height of 5’8”, the pair come in at a little taller than average. At 145lb, the two are lucky to say that they eat relatively well. Both do a reasonable amount of exercise, though Verin, the more active of the two, has cultivated more defined muscles.

Ash blonde hair and grey-blue eyes are also things that the Rush brothers share, though Venser’s crystalline eyes appear duller, colder, compared to Verin’s, which radiate warmth. Their eyes mirror the rest of their faces: Venser has more deepset eyes and higher cheekbones, leaving Verin to give the appearance of being much more approachable than his brother. Both are normally clean shaven, and Verin’s hair is generally kept at a little over an inch long, compared to Venser’s closer cut hair. For the casual observer though, it is difficult to tell the two apart.Image

Verin’s clothing is simple, preferring to adorn darker shades wherever possible.

Personality


Though he is a twin, Verin’s upbringing was considerably more comfortable than Venser’s. The older of the two, Verin was not blamed by his father for the death of his mother, who died in the childbirth of his brother mere bells after Verin’s birth. The result was a much more pleasant disposition for the older brother, who is also far less capricious. The man’s patience seems to extend indefinitely, allowing him more grace and tact than his younger, more reserved and silent, brother.

Though his father was by no means rich, he was wealthy enough to afford Verin an education of sorts, without offering the same to Venser, which left the elder with a sense of entitlement, knowing many would not receive such a luxury. His unwavering ambition is the driving force in him excelling at most things he tries, and misplaced compassion is why he shares his learnings with his brother.

Given his upbringing in the city of Ravok, Verin cannot be described as ‘good’, though he is not outright evil either. Amoral might be the most accurate way of describing him, performing good and bad deeds as long as he sees purpose or results in doing them. Despite this, he will never perform an action himself if he can convince another to do it for him, preferring to persuade a weaker minded individual, rather than dirty his own hands.

History


The story of Verin and Venser Rush did not begin on a dark, thunderous night, as one might expect a story like theirs to begin. It did, however, begin with tragedy. It was the 89th of Fall, the year 487 AV. Autumn chill filled the small appartment, pained screaming killing any sense of silence that would ordinarily exist. Verin, the elder brother, was also screaming, but his cries were muffled by his mother’s agony as her labour went on, trying to birth the twin. Several bells later, she succeeded, though the heavy toll would claim her life. The father was left to raise the twins that the Gods saw fit to bestow him with.

ImageAs the elder, Verin felt nothing of the abuse and neglect that his younger brother suffered; in his father’s eyes, the firstborn had not destroyed his wife’s body so much as to kill her. He was the wanted brother, not Venser, and the pair grew up knowing that. Whilst Verin received an education, Venser was left forgotten. And when their father came home, wretched from alcohol, Venser received the brunt of his blows, though on occasion Verin would fool his father into thinking he was the hated son, saving his brother for a night. On these occasions, Verin realised how much he took for granted, and he grew to hate his father, as his brother did. This, more than anything else, cemented the bond that the brothers shared.

Despite this, normality was something that the boys didn’t share, as Verin make friends and had the opportunity to socialise among peers. He never forgot his brother, however, and throughout his years of education, he did his best to pass on the knowledge to his sibling, gifting him arithmacy, reading, writing, and smatterings of the Ancient Tongue.

Years passed, and the two boys grew into young men. Conflict between the pair was virtually nonexistent, given that the exertions from fending off their father left the brothers with little else but support for one another. Not only were they brothers, twins, they were also best friends. The strife engendered ambition in both of them, and they knew that their time would come.

Venser Rush
Image Name: Venser Rush
Relationship: Twin Brother
Venser, the younger of the twins, was hated by their father, blamed for the death of their mother, during childbirth. The difference in treatment between the brothers did not cause malice between the pair, to the contrary, it strengthened their bond, through sibling rivalry was, and still is, rife between them.
 
Rowan
Name: Rowan
To be completed.. Summer 514AV.

Verin Rush

*


General Information :
1. What is your Name? Verin Rush
2. Do you go by a nickname or pet name? My brother calls me 'Ver'...
3. How old are you? Turned Twenty Three at the end of last Season.
4. What is your height? It's not generally something I keep track of.. 5'7.. 5'8?
5. What is your weight? Again, not really something I am prone to check regularly.


Aesthetics :
1. Describe yourself as you see yourself.
2. Describe yourself as others typically see you.
3. What is your favorite body feature?
4. How physically fit are you?
5. How do you typically dress and what is your style?


Family :
1. Who are your parents and what are they like? My mother was a Ravokian native, who died in childbirth with my brother. She was never really spoken of so I don't know much about her. My father, on the other hand, was a merchant from Syliras, though why he was trading with Ravok... anyway.. he met my mother here and never left. He's dead too.
2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? A younger brother, Venser. He's my twin.
3. What is your extended family like? Never really knew my mother's family, but I have some family in Syliras, I believe.
4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family? No one can be as important as my brother.
5. Do you treat animals like family? Should I?


Location :
1. Where were you born? Ravok
2. Where do you live now? Apart from a few Seasons in Syliras, I've never live anywhere but the lake city.
3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be? My brother has an interest in travelling. I imagine I will go with him if he wishes, but Ravok will always be my home.
4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time? Not particularly...
5. Where do you fear to be? I've heard that the Ebonstryfe have some horrible places reserved for the worst of our society...


Traits :
1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?) Scars? Many, though I wouldn't consider them to be weaknesses. If anything, they prove my strength and resilience.
2. Are you right handed or left handed? Right
3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent? The Common Tongue is my fluent language, though I am also relatively proficient in Nader-Canoch, and studied the Ancient Language for a period.
4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? I hope not. I pride myself in being reasonably proficient in impersonating others, so I hope I've schooled any of my own quirks out. But my brother could probably tell you a few.
5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them)? Slaves are tattooed.


Occupations :
1. What is your occupation? I work as a bartender at the Malt House.
2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why? I neither like nor dislike it. It keeps me alive.
3. If you could be anything you wanted to, what would you be? I hope to join the Black Sun and serve my God.
4. What occupation do you admire the most? Why? I give credit to anyone to fights for their beliefs... even if I don't agree with them.
5. What occupation do you least like? Why? Carvers and engravers. I jest, just teasing my brother.. no, not really. All jobs are necessary for someone to fill or society would not work as it does.


Childhood :
1. What sort of child were you? A good one, I hope.
2. What is your favorite memory from childhood? It's a feeling, more than a memory. My brother and I were just messing around... and it felt like nothing could hurt us that day.
3. What is your worst memory from childhood? My brother almost died once at the hands of my father. I'll never forget that night...
4. What sort of relationship did you have with your parents? My father and I rarely saw eye to eye, especially when it came to my deity. But he pushed me to become what I am today.
5. Who was your most influential rolemodel? [color=#80FFFF]That's a loaded question...[/color]


Education :
1. What sort of education do you have? My father saw that I was well-educated. IT probably doesn't rival a more wealthy family, but it's better than most.
2. Do you like/dislike learning? I'm not keen on languages, but I do enjoy study if I see it has purpose.
3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities? Practice.
4. How do you learn best? I'm a kinetic learner.. I prefer to do, rather than to be told about a certain phenomenon.
5. What are your educational goals for the future? Like my brother, I hope to expand my knowledge in the magics, and gain any useful abilities for my chosen future.


Relationships :
1. Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not? It depends on the person. My brother and I re entwined in each other's lives... but the majority of people are like distant acquaintances.
2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not? No. I live in Ravok.
3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Straight.
4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. It was nothing special: the girl, the setting, the time, the situation, all of it was forgettable.
5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. My brother and I lost our virginities one drunken night at a whore-house.


Drugs and Alcohol :
1. Have you ever been drunk? If so, describe your first time.
2. Do you like to drink on a regular basis?
3. What sort of alcohol do you prefer?
4. Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them?
5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific.


Likes and Dislikes :
1. What are your hobbies? Hobbies?
2. Do you like to read? Books are hard to come by, but yes, given the chance.
3. What annoys you more than anything else? [color=#80FFFF]The idiocy of some people.[/color]
4. What do you find the most relaxing activity to do? A long walk is the most effective way to clear my mind, I have discovered. Preferably in a secluded place in the city, where all one can hear is the water sloshing against the foundations of the city.
5. What kinds of things embarrass you? Why? My brother has this obscene ability to cause embarrassment... but I'm getting over that.


Favorites :
1. What is your favorite color or colors? I don't spend much time thinking of such inane topics... do you take me for a woman?
2. What is your favorite time of day? Dawn
3. What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? The sunrise.
4. What do you like to eat? What do you hate to eat? Put the food in front of me and I'll eat it. We're lucky to be eating anything at all.
5. What is your favorite type of weather? Does any kind scare you? By Rhysol's grace, the weather in Ravok is rather mild.


Outlook :
1. Are you optimistic or pessimistic? I might argue that I'm an optimistic pessimist.
2. What are your religious views? Rhysol is the only way.
3. Would you be able to kill? With good reason, yes.
4. What are your views on sex? It is a necessary and natural part of life.
5. What, in your opinion, makes a successful life? Stability and favour of the Gods.


Actions :
1. What is the worst and best thing you’ve ever done? The best, I don't know... the worst? Lying to my brother... and causing my father's death.
2. What is your greatest regret? Using a magic that I did not yet fully understand on my brother.
3. What is your best/worst memory? You've already asked me this.
4. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be and why? I would not have used Hypnotism on Venser as young an inexperienced as I did.
5. What are you the most proud of doing in your life?


Emotions :
1. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings with others?
2. Do you have any biases or prejudices? Many...
3. What makes you happy?
4. Who or what, if anything, would you die for? My God. My brother.
5. What makes you angry?


Relationships :
1. In general, how do you treat others?
2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
4. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If not, describe an ideal lover.
5. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?


Group Situations :
1. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
2. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?

4. What lengths would you go to to please your deity? Most any...
