Characters

Saulanna Ricanya Rockblossom
(Lunar/Raccoon/Unfixed) The main character of this quest, she is a Lunar, one of the Heroes of the Moon, with the raccoon as her totem. She is currently amnesiac, but before, she was apparently a scavenger-archeologist, searching the ruins of the cities of the Golden Age for what forgotten wonders were left, and a thief. Then, she was the prisoner of Peregine Kaan, who, in the interest of learning Titan magic, erased her identity and memories in order to attach Wordblood to her. She escaped, Exalting in the process, becoming one of Luna's champions. Now, she is the beginning of a new Titan, and ready to face the world and kick ass IN THE NAME OF LUNA AND SAULANNA RICANYA ROCKBLOSSOM!

Wordblood
(Titan Fragment/Word-Dragon) A Titan Fragment of He Who Bleeds the Unknown Word, Wordblood takes the form of a dragon made out of words, which expresses his nature as a soul of a Titan embodying words, language, and communication. He was grafted onto Saulanna's soul by Peregine Kaan. He dwells in her mind, sharing thoughts, power, and capabilities, their souls bleeding into each other.

Gevin
(Dead Noble Soul/Male) The first person Saulanna met after Exalting (besides Luna); a ghost that was stuck mourning his inability to accomplish his goal when he died: giving one of (the only?) friends a gift, a music box that he fixed. Unfortunately, he died when a tree fell on him. Saulanna, through her inspiring presence, snapped him out of his ennui and gave him the drive to dig up his body and the music box. He went to check on his friend at her house, with the help of Saulanna, but she left, perhaps centuries ago. Currently, he is housed in the fortress of Saulanna's mind, kept safe from any outside harm, and allowed to wander outside the Shadowland where he died through Saulanna.

Peregine Kaan/Shadow In The Wings
(Abyssal/Male/Daybreak) Self-entited Lord of the Needles, Champion of the Dead, Warrior, Scholar, Master of Four Circles. He was a stage magician, using sleight of hand tricks, but desired to learn true magic, Rituals, Sorcery, Necromancy. He angered a demon with his questionings, and was killed by its hand. However, on the brink of death and life, he Exalted as an Abyssal. He then turned to learning the magic that was, and is, his true desire. Kaan is a renegade Deathknight, hiding in a Shadowland, luckily with a Manse, ruling over the ghosts and learning what magic he can. He was the one who grafted Wordblood to Saulanna and erased her identity and memories. He sought to reclaim her when she escaped, through trickery and force. Saulanna defeated him, though he got what he wanted in the end, when Saulanna told him his True Name and the promise to teach him Words of Power in exchange for his oath to serve her.

Saulanna's Capabilities

Inner Den
-Saulanna can store a limited number and size of objects in her Mindspace, increasing as her Soul Force does.

Mask Sneak
-So long as her Soul Fire isn't showing, Saulanna can pull a shroud of unnoticeability about herself that will render her invisible to mundane perception, scaling up to thwart magical senses of increasing power as her Soul Force grows.

Wordblood's Capabilities

Wordblood, being a Titan Fragment, is able to empower Saulanna's attributes, grant Saulanna the ability to use and create Titanic Magic, to eat and absorb souls and knowledge in the form of the written word, gain Titan's Will by eating souls and Titan Fragments, and to turn the willing into akuma. Akuma are basically the hand-puppets of Titans, beings who sold their soul to a Titan and gained power from the Titan. The boost is two-way, the Titan gains the ability to use the magic of the akuma, and the akuma gains the magic of the Titan, if the Titan deigns to.

Wordblood, being a Fragment of a Titan embodying language, uses Titanic Magic linked to the concept of Language called Power Words. That magic allows him, and Saulanna, to speak a word and have that word affect the world in accordance to the meaning of that word. It also allows him to learn and know the True Names of Things, which grants mastery over that thing. It is likely that, as Wordblood grows in power, other powers linked to Language will be able to be used by Wordblood.

Peregine Kaan's Capabilities

Kaan, being an Abyssal, is able to utilize Death Magic, which likely focuses on killing and destroying things. He has demonstrated Necromancy usage, and has stated that he is able to use Sorcery as well. Having entered into a True Name Oath with Saulanna, he probably is now able to use Power Words.
