Update~
Kellehendros: Typical characters may initially be very cold, but there’s always a burning passion underneath. Fearless through a dark, collapsing tunnel, unfazed by ten thousand enemy warriors, fire and hell be damned; through strategic domination or brute force, Kellehendrian characters will go to the ends of the earth to get something done. If I were to assign a concept to Kellehendrian ‘shape’, it would be The Avenger.
Bastet: Like Kellehendros, typical characters may be very cold in personality, but with Bastet, it is taken to a further level. From ancient origin to closest recency, the Bastetian characters can look into the eye of the soldiers who may serve them as they are torn to shreds, and not even blink. The Bastetian can murder the most innocent of children, the most sorrowful of women and the most cowardly of men without skipping a single beat. Super-consistent in action, frozen in temper and hardly ever distracted are such characters. I would assign the concept of The Frost Empress to Bastet.
Draycos: Upbeat characters that just scream, Go Team(or Go Me)! The objectives are always in focus, and the characters always have the will. They resolve themselves of all their vast resources to see their ambitions realized. Initially, they can seem arrogant, vain and pretentious, but when all others are indecisive, leave it to Draycosian forces to get something done. That being said, Draycosians are known for their pride, and their hubris may bring misfortune to them. Two cartoon characters come to mind as I ponder the Draycosian: Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Diane from The Seven Deadly Sins. Draycos is The Auxiliatrix.
Vanir: I say Legendium is an Expert in tragic characters, but I’ll say Vanir is a Master in tragic characters. Diseased and burnt, critterly and crawly, or lovely and lost, Vanir isn’t afraid to get ugly to explore the vastness and ends of tragedy. Through the caverns ‘neath a graveyard, through the dried well caked in blood, and through the rain-drenched streets littered with decaying corpses, Vanir is The Shadow Hero.
Apocalypse: If there is one word to describe Apocalyptic characters, it’s that they are diverse. Paladin Werewolf to Dark Lord, Alchemist Goblin to Pirate Elf, it would seem as though Apocalypse can be anything. I want to say Apocalyptics are usually chilled in personality, laid back and cool, but such phrasing only describes the latter half. The former are formidably iron-willed, and spare little to antics. Apocalypse is The Shifter Daemon.
Afina: The Afinese enjoy being in positions of power, and they wield an impressive arsenal of tools to keep them in seats of influence. Granted the abilities to govern large dominions, they revel in observing peasant, or otherwise ordinary lifestyles to which they find quaint. Aged and experienced in the nobler aspects of living, the Afinese demand something else, something more. The resources in their possession are grand, and they will use it to pursue the many pieces of a continent-spanning chess set. Afina is The Regal Steward.
I do have to say while Draycos is excellent in making villains, one that's greater in doing so is Afina. From reading her works, it is obvious she can create and wield a true Big Bad. While Draycosians can easily grate the nerves of heroes, it is the Afinese that will rob the heroes of their loved ones, steal the souls from their hometowns, and truly push them to their absolute limits. In Dragonfable terms, Draycos will play Drakath remarkably well, but it is Afina who will play The Mysterious Stranger.
I'm thinking an ideal roleplay will be one hosted by Kellehendros, due to his attention to detail and consistent management. The roles should be as followed: Vanir will be the primary protagonist with Draycos and Apocalypse supporting him(deuteragonist, tritagonist?). Afina is the endgame antagonist, Kellehendros is her right hand, but betrays her in the end, and Bastet will be the frozen-hearted executioner or ace murderer. The roles of Bastet and Apocalypse could be inter-changeable given how non-moral the first can be, and how versatile the second can be. Blacknight would certainly fit a protagonist's role somewhere around here with Vanir. Sigil is on par with Draycos in wielding supportive characters, it seems. (Not a serious suggestion; just what I think to be quite amusing.)
