House Delphi, aka "The Enlightened": The house of oracles, scientists and gypsies, Delphi is involved in all aspects of esoteric and intellectual analysis of the Nexus. Other Avatars look toward The Enlightened to lead the way in both rational problem-solving and supernatural clairvoyance. The members of House Delphi generally provide many valuable services to the Nexus, including predictions and record keeping, and are usually treated with respect (if not cautious deference).

Kai Morgant stands at just over 6' tall, with dark hair past his shoulders and dark eyes. He dresses in somber colors, mostly black, although he has been known to wear dark blues when he's in a REALLY good mood. Around his neck, he wears a strange black collar made of some unknown metal. So far, its exact composition, as well as its purpose, remains unknown. As yet, he has been unable to remove it, although he has made only a cursory attempt at it. The collar is his only link to his past, as his memories were almost entirely lost upon his arrival in the Nexus.
At first glance, Kai's personality seems to match his appearance. To those who don't know him well, he seems withdrawn, cold, and lacking in emotion. Those few with whom he lets down his guard have had the dubious pleasure of experiencing his rather cynical sense of humor.
Positions: Founding Member - Delming Alliance
John Steed stands 6 feet tall. Long, straight black hair comes down to his shoulders. His unnatural violet eyes flash - literally - as he strokes his two-tone beard thoughtfully (which he typically does right before or just after some experiment of his explodes violently). His slender body, dressed in a dark but elegant style, is frequently obscured by a long, black trenchcoat. A box-like device is attached to his left forearm. Rarely seen without his side-arm, he has also taken to wearing a black multi-pocketed tactical jumpsuit and typically carries a rather unfriendly-looking cannon of a rifle when garbed as such.
From a universe parallel to Terra's "Star Trek" and holding the title 'Doctor' and the Starfleet rank of Lieutenant-Commander, John is a man of science by nature. He is educated in a number of scientific disciplines, ranging from the mundane to the bizarre, as well as being a medical doctor and surgeon of some skill. He carries a cool demeanor, a clinical and intellectual air. He is friendly and disarming, invoking trust in others. He is known for being open-minded; he is always willing to give a new point of view a chance. He considers this trait the mark of a true scientist. It is said that he has also learned the rudiments of magic while within the Nexus - while as yet unconfirmed, it would explain the rather sudden change of eye-color from brown to violet. He is fiercely loyal to his family, his Housemates, his friends, and his allies.

Tybalt wanders in and out of history, never anchoring... his actions and connection to the Nexus makes his role fluid according the the decisions he makes, the Nexus makes, and others around him make. He has no written legend.
Webmaster's Note: The following has been edited for mechanics.
OK, first off, Tybalt does not look like Minor in make-up. Minor looked like me in garb. Where Minor was 6'1, Tybalt is 5'10 max and where Minor was skinny (except for stealth fat), Tybalt is lean and tightly muscled (think like a cat or grey hound). Tybalt has tended to dress in Italian Ren clothing and favors the colors black and silver. He has been seen with ribbons in his hair, much like Bishop (right now they seem missing) his skin is bleached bone white but still flexable like skin his grin is painted on, like jesters of old, and his eyes are surrounded by large black diamonds. He almost always has a sword of excellent design near him and walks more like an arrogant strut. When not casting everyones favorite spell, Toxic Storm, or duelling with a sword, he often busys his hands with a tarot deck. He also, normally, IC wears a House Lightfoot symbol as homage to the worlds best and most efficent House head, Bron price.
A calico cat seems to be near him at most times.

Jason Devlin
The home of Jason Devlin is a Kingdom called the Atlantic Emendation. It is located on a man made island west of the Pillars of Hercules, Earth. There, he grew up in the CityState of New Argos, in a totally anti-glamarous life ... until the civil war broke out. After a year and a half of hiding, with no way off the island, Jason and his friends entrusted themselves to a cult leader, who tried to escape the island via magickal ceremony. Only Jay entered the Nexus. As for the others ...?
Jay appears as a lithe teenager on indistinct age. He stands at 5'6", and weighs approx. 110 lbs. High cheekbones give most of his facial definition, which visually increases when set against the high contrast of his long black hair. The only real offset to the norm of Jason's form is his eyes; youthful, observant spheres of saphire that are strangely and perpetually encased in the telltale dark circles of fatigue. (RPG NOTE: As Time goes on, events will occur to make the eyes lose color and begin to reflect light as though mirrors.)
In a study of Character, Jason is either an adolescent or an eccentric. A Self contradiction in many levels, he also possesses an inherent paranoia. It seems he will only trust others, or even his perceptions, at random, all of this making him quite an unstable
person. Also, a clue to his nature; when seemingly weary, Jason can suddenly explode into a frenzy of hyperactivity and empowerment of will, an event to which physical observation will reveal no cause.

Rarely still, Aidan Brand seems unable to contain the tension within his thin and angular frame. While he often wears a distinctive green cloak when in public, in informal settings he favors simple Terran garb in blacks, whites and grays. He keeps his red hair cropped short and his beard neatly trimmed. His eyes are dark and thoughtful, with a tendency to scowl.
Aidan is among the oldest of the known Avatars, having entered the Nexus at the very beginning of the last Cycle. He has served as Secretary of the Nexus Council and as Head of the former House Canterbury, but claims no interest in politics in this Cycle. Little is known of his private life or history, other than his blood relationship to Prince Geoffrey of Amber (of House Galahad). He claims to be both a scientist and a sorcerer, and spends most of his time engaged in research and contemplation.

"The outside world is something independent from man, something absolute, and the quest for the laws which apply to this absolute appeared to me as the most sublime scientific pursuit in life."
A mathematician involved in research involving non-Euclidean geometry,
abstract linear spaces and topology. This research led Phineas to what he calls a proverbial rabbit hole -- the understanding of interdimensional mathematics that brought him to the Nexus. Since finding himself beyond the boundaries of the world he hails from, he dedicates himself to continuing his researches.
Born in a Terran analogue, a member of the British aristocracy who are
gentlemen by right of birth -- although it also must be emphasized,
paradoxically enough, that birth alone can not make a man a gentleman.
Phineas dresses the part. His slight build is attired in an elegant and
somber black trousers coat, with the finest white linen shirt and a fine waistcoat. The manner of one trying to observe the courtesies he is stepped in, despite the chaos of his current situation, permeates his public persona.
The Spritely Fellow is a gypsy entertainer with the gifts of music, song, and many other small talents. He appears to be a young man of about 20 years, with brown hair and ice-blue eyes. His face has the look of one who has spent all of his life outdoors, and a neatly trimmed Van Dyke beard adorns his face. His dress consists of loose clothing, meant more for comfort than appearance. He will often be seen wearing dirt brown trousers decorated with tiny beads and bells, and a bright blue shirt with patches and pockets all over it. Whenever he is outside of his wagon, he wears a leather belt which has several pouches of varying sizes and colors hanging from it. He often covers his head with a deep red bandana with long tails hanging down his back.
Webmaster's Note: The Spritely Fellow has (finally) found a satisfactory pair of shoes.
Retired Delphi: 3
Bishop stands about 5'11", with long, auburn hair that hangs down to her mid-back. Her curls are adorned with 4 ribbons which are tipped with beads. The colors of the ribbons change--sometimes from moment to moment. She has an athletic build, the kind that tells of constant physical activity. Her arms and upper torso, though covered in scars, are well defined and muscled--enabling her to handle her favorite weapon (a glowing blue longsword) with speed and ease.
Her clothes change with her whim, but she's most often found in either: a Victorian English cavalry uniform; a stretch velvet shirt and black fatigues; a loose wrap shirt with blousy pants that are tucked into high leather boots; or a Miskatonic University t-shirt and jeans. Her hands are covered by black fingerless gloves.
Former Positions: Head of House, Council Representative
The fury Shadow stands approximately 5'6", and appears to be of *very* slight build - about 110lbs or so - though if she actually weighs anything at all is a mystery. She smacks of the "un-real" and tends to clash with just about any surroundings, save perhaps the comforting darkness of Xarkol's original landscape and most obviously the Shadowlands itself. She is clad in a black "dress" - though it appears more to be wisps of smoke and captured darkness, and her skin - what of it is exposed - is black as pitch and seems to be little more than an outline - save her face.
Shadow's face is a mocking parody of life - a delicate nose and small lips set asthetically on an oval face, framed by what would be two slightly large eyes - if Shadow had any eyes at all. Instead, her 'eyes' are two holes filled with blackness, the pallor of her "skin" an ascending shade of grey from forehead to chin. Her expression is forever stiff and un-changing, even in speech - the whole thing is reminiscent of a mask. She appears to be unarmed.
Moiraine appears to be at age 14 at this point in time. Many may know her as the 8 year old but occurrences at the last gathering with Bishop have been pushing her steadily towards adulthood. She now stands about 4'3". She has deep black eyes and her hair is a ravens black. It has highlights of blue and purple in it, but only if she stands directly in the sunlight. Usually her hair is seen in one or two braids with a royal blue ribbon with beads on the ends tied into it. This was given to her by Bishop of Delphi. Her taste is clothing is still somewhat a comfortable one. She is seen usually in a pair of black jeans with a purple tee shirt. A black soldiers shirt is usually tied around her waste. Sometimes she also has a long black flowing cape around her neck as well. She tends to prefer either going barefoot or wearing interesting mismatched socks for her feet. Around her neck is a small eye shaped amulet that usually is tucked under her shirt. In her
company at almost all times is a small purple puppy by the name of Red. She has floppy ears and a slightly curled tail as well as a misplaced pair of Raven wings sprouted out of her back.
