The White Eagles

The White Eagles merc band, circa 4009 before half its members got killed. From left to right: Leo, Emidius, Xohitl (in front), Niall (behind), Felicia, Rhesus, Timaeus, Mwennon, and Pericles. Quick sketchy-draw to get down their general appearance and something vaguely approximating their relative heights (Emidius has gotten taller since I filled in his character bio). Maybe someday I will write their story even.

Mwennon and Aiya

Hrulash and Hitomi’s babies decided it was time for them to be all growed up, so here they are as teenagers. They used to look like this.

Aiya is 19; Mwennon is 15. She’s grown beautiful as her mother, but cold as her father – she has a warm heart, but she hides it away carefully. She is an expert spearwoman, but she prefers a more calm, urban life. Zamir annoys her as much as he can, to her mystification. Her theme song is Splendid Flowers (takes after her father in music, too!)

Mwennon was the wilder one, and ran away from home to become a mercenary at age 15. He got some tattoos, and began dual-wielding spatha and gladius. He eventually returned home, and it took him a few years to fit back in. His theme song is Reluctant Heroes which is TOO GOOD FOR HIM, but he’s a greedy little boy and wants it anyway.

Aiya and Mwennon

Aiya Elisia Cato, age 4, and Mwennon Marcus Cato, age 9 months. (first convincing babeh I ever drew! : D)
Aiya has her mother’s dark hair and her father’s brown eyes, while Mwennon began life with very dark hair but it lightened to a more chestnut colour by the time he was in his teens while his eyes darkened to black. They both had slightly pointed ears as half-elves, and had some (yet to be determined) control over magic and the Flow.
Aiya did turn out to be the more serious of the two, enjoying quiet time and study. Mwennon hung out a bit too much with Aunt Xan, Aunt Lae, and Trearen, and was a bit more adventurous than his sister. However, both of them smile and laugh more than their father. :3
More description to come when they tell me.
