Idaceen & Pargon Cliffsong

Idaceen and Pargon are siblings, but they are pretty much nothing alike.

Idaceen is a hot tempered, in your face warrior. Her parents were killed when she was very young right in front of her, and she's been looking for a little revenge ever since. Sadly, the guys who killed them were brought to justice by the state, and this didn't really make her feel any better. She began training for the army, but was not accepted because she is female. Though this obviously was quite upsetting, she decided to join a local guard instead. (Who don't care what sex you are - they just care if you can kick someone's ass if you need to.) The local guard had some ... well, moral problems. They were basically thugs, and after a few years she couldn't really take the mindless brutality of it anymore.

So after all that, through a wide variety of circumstances, she began leading a team of local athletes. (The sport is basically capture the flag with blow-darts.) They're quite good, and she plans on using her influence with the team to gain some political recognition so she can change the way the city is run.

She's a vegetarian by choice, and likes to dye her hair strange flashy colors. She can't cook anything worth a damn, and absolutely hates it when her teeth feel dirty. She also has a pet ferret named Bandit, who she seems to be able to talk to.

Pargon, on the other hand, is a ridiculously mild mannered fellow with no desire to fight anything, ever. This strikes most as odd, because he's a very big, muscular guy who intimidates people just by looking at them. (They just don't realize he'd never dream of hurting them.)

He has a deep love of natural sciences - plants and animals alike. He's quite brilliant in his research, and has developed many useful things for the aid of the city, like basic protein bars that are used in times of famine, as well as a variety of particularly hearty grains and seeds.

Pargon is a hopeless romantic, but is usually too shy to talk to any females besides his own sister, who he loves deeply but is usually quite embarassed by her brazen, openly sexual behavior. He spends almost all his time in a small labratory by himself, continually enraptured by experiments and research.

A little known fact: since the murder of his parents, he has suffered from vivid night terrors that prevent him from being able to sleep near anyone, lest he hurt or kill them in self defense in his sleep.
