Gnosis: None
Additional Info: A brilliant mind in architecture, Calisha is probably one of the most talented people in all Kenash. The young woman has a knack in designing impressive buildings, each one unique. Gifted with beauty and brains, Calisha is someone who knows she's good. Well, maybe a bit too much. This young woman is well-known for her pride and had driven some people crazy because of it. Still, no one really cares to do something about it. She does no serious harm after all and her knowledge of structure and constructions is most useful to the Lorak Family. The only one who might challenge her skills is her brother - and he's already dead.
Everyone knew of the story and rumors of the twins. The two children, Caleto and Calisha, were lost to the swampland. Everyone was sent into some sort of panic - after all, what were the chances two fourteen-year-olds might survive the wilderness?
Days went by without any sign of them. Until, a small figure was spotted. It was a girl, Calisha, completely filthy and covered with blood. There was no sign of Caleto anywhere. The girl was brought back and nursed carefully, bringing her back from a state of shock. It didn't take long for a family of doctors to notice that the blood didn't belong to Calisha. When people asked what had happened, she said that she didn't really remember, that some animal attacked them and Caleto died.
But the girl was young and the false note in her voice was noticeable. No one truly believed her story. Some even said that she killed her brother. Calisha had always been jealous of all the attention he was getting. Regretfully, Caleto's body was never found and the only one who knows the truth is a driven, vain, young woman.
Name: Doromer Jalius Lorak
Race: Human, Vantha
DoB: The 1st of the Summer Season, 468 AV
PoB: Kenash, Cyphrus Region
Title: Doctor
Relations: Brother of Calamur, Brother-In-Law (and Lover) of Yvenna, and Uncle of Lorana, Verena {PC}, and Zorane
Skills: Herbalism 53; Gardening 51; Wilderness Survival: Swamp 45; Botany 44; Medicine 40; Philtering 37; Storytelling 32; Musical Instrument: Flute 26; Rhetoric 25
Gnosis: 1 Healing Mark of Rak'keli
Additional Info: Known as a madman to the people of Kenash, Doromer is rarely seen by anyone but his own family. He is usually hidden in one of their many greenhouses, doing gods-know-what. For some mysterious reason, this former doctor has clearly lost his mind, but not even his family knows why or how.
Doromer had been a good man: lively, smart, and confident. And while he may not have been the head of the family, like his brother, he was almost just as respected. That said, rumor has it that he captured his brother's second wife's heart and had an affair with her, but it was short-lived.
As for his sanity, he was once a brilliant man, but after disappearing for two weeks, he came back muttering gibberish and refused to see anyone. Doromer seemed to perceive everything and everyone as dangerous for a while, screaming at anyone who came too close. It was truly a sad day for the Lorak Family, to lose such a promising soul.
Now, Doromer prefers to keep in the company of his herbs, making him the best herbalist of the family. He has become more lucid over time, having the will to teach some of the younger generation about his knowledge, but they need only be prepared for his sudden mood swings and gibbering every once in a while.
Name: Zorane Dalore Lorak
Race: Human, Vantha (Mixed)
DoB: The 2nd of the Spring Season, 491 AV
PoB: Kenash, Cyphrus Region
Title: None
Relations: Brother of Verena {PC}, Half-Brother of Eyasia {PC} and Lorana, Son of Calamur and Yvenna, and Uncle of Inari {PC}
Skills: 41 Rhetoric; 37 Intelligence; 29 Poisoncrafting; 26 Philtering; 21 Persuasion; 14 Medicine; 10 Herbalism
Gnosis: None
Additional Info: Zorane had always been the charming one in the family. He knew what to say and what to do in order to get people to favor him. As a child, he could always talk his way out of everything, even blame others for his mistakes. It had came naturally for him - to save himself - and he rarely felt guilty for the deed. Words were his weapon and it proved to be very potent most of the time. Making people adore him was what he did daily. What most people would not know, though, was that he bear no love for the life in the swamp. He felt trapped and constricted, unable to be free - this fact was only known to his younger sister, Verena. All he wanted was to leave. In his own rebellious ways, Zorane decided to steer clear of the Lorak's business, dwelling in the arts of poisoncrafting instead.

Race: Human
DoB: Fall 22, 502 AV
PoB: Kenash
Title: Personal Slave
Skills: Observation 10, Wood Carving 10, Storytelling 5, Reading & Writing 5
Gnosis: none
Additional Info: Like all of the Lorak slaves, Pina lived a good life compared to others of her status. Her parents, however, constantly chastised their daughter into submission. She had to be a good slave, or else one day she would surely be beaten to death. Pina took them seriously, as any child would, and spoke little throughout her youth.
One day, during a private party for distant relations of the Loraks, a guest picked out Pina from amongst the slaves. She was pretty and unusually quiet, which worked doubly well in his favor. Unfortunately, Inari Lorak walked in right as he lowered his breeches before the terrified slave. The teen took one disgusted, rage-filled look and screamed at the top of her lungs, instantly sending both slaves and aristocrats alike running to her aid. Thoroughly humiliated before his peers, the man was excused from the party and received no further punishment from Lorana.
Inari gave little thought to the state of slaves before, but her family's indifference disturbed her. They seemed more upset that she had seen a man's buttocks than they did about the violation of a slave child. From then on, the teen made daily efforts to coax some life out of Pina, who saw the older girl as brilliant, courageous, and sweeter than all the cakes in the world. She followed Inari everywhere and quickly became anointed as the Lorak's personal slave, much to their mutual delight. Inari taught her how to read, write, carve, and anything else the girl was willing to learn, which was pretty much everything.
When Inari opened The Velvet Ear, she employed Pina and gave the girl her very first wages. Under the Lorak's open-minded guidance, Pina quickly grew in both aptitude and creativity. She takes to wearing a sheep costume during the shops secret midnight shows, and sometimes even accompanies Inari further into the city. She fancies herself a sidekick of sorts.
