Post by Rannan de Fournier (D) on Dec 25, 2005 20:07:22 GMT -5
Name: Rannan de Fournier Son of Gershom, Vicomte Fournier
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Appearance: Rannan is 100% Yeshuite and therefore shares their features. He skin is a light tan, his hair a very dark brown that appears black. His eyes are a clear brown. Rannan wears his hair and attire in D'Angeline, he is clean shaven with long hair that inches a little past his shoulder blades. He is a little on the taller side a few inches past 6 feet. He was blessed with fine features, cheek bones and a well formed nose so he somewhat fits in with the D'Angelines. He spends much time keeping his body in good form and tries to eat the best foods.
History: Rannan has had a long history for a young man. His parents sent him to live with a cousin who had married a D'Angeline noble after they gave up trying to bend Rannan to follow their strict Yeshuite laws. His parents where banished from their land and they moved into Kusheth with the intent of escaping their past. When things did not go well for them they reverted to their old religion. Raanan did not pick up on it well having D’Angeline friends to influence him otherwise. At 12 years of age he is sent to Terre D’Ange. A year later his parents decide to return to their home land with a new baby that his mom was barely pregnant with at the time of Rannan’s departure. The family is attacked by bandits, the parents where found dead but the baby had disappeared. Raanan knew about the baby since his parents wrote a long letter prior to their departure apologizing for sending him away and asking if he would come with them to their home land. He takes their death hard and doesn’t know what happened to his sister, Liana, he never meet.
He continually grows up angry, made at the gods. After getting into another fight at a local Tavern his guardians suggest that he take out his frustration at the Valerian house, which he does so once a year on the anniversary of his parents death. When he is 22 years and just gaining his wings as an adult his guardians go on an expedition and disappear at sea. After there is no sign of the vessel or his cousin for 6 months Rannan is declared as the only inheritance to the estate. His guardians where not able to have kids and claimed Rannan as their adopted child. Having people that he loved taken away again Rannan was in pain. The day he was told that he once again lost someone he visited Mandrake house, hoping to have the pain beat out of him. So, twice a year he visited Mandrake and Valerian each in respect to each day of strife. As he aged he grew to accept the path that life had given him and spent less time torchering himself with his thoughts. His visits to the two houses grew less frequent as well.
Rannan is finially ready to settle himself a little, though he still enjoys traveling and learning about new cultures. He never regained any true faith with either of the religions he grew up with. Finding out that his sister is alive helped him to regain his outlook on life in general. Even though he no longer has to worry about a family heir, he does not know if she would truly want the estate and he is looking to fill that gap in his life.

Age: 60s

She has held her age well and can pass for someone 10 years younger. She has large eyes and fine facial features. She is someone who was seen as cute when she was younger, but not really pretty.
History: Bettany grew up with merchant parents. She fell in love and had a dream life for a few years. Her husband grew deathly ill. When he died she found out that he had accumulated a lot of debt behind her. Bettany sent her one son to the Night Court to save him the life of a pauper and when she ran out of money sought employment elsewhere. When she was just 25 she was employed by the Fournier house as a servant. She did well and moved into the lead servant spot around 30. She has worked there since, seeing two generations of Fournier's and is now employed with Rannan. She feels like a grandma to him, though she keeps her distance, keeping her motherly love for him to herself.
