About Salonius BarradinSalonius Barridan
Currently I am managing a small experimental orchard testing various types of inter species grafting and the effects of exposure to magic in plants. My familiar Peeko serves as a invaluable aid, and communication system - it is far more convenient to have Peeko receive my Mothers lectures and "relay" then to me. I live in a large cottage behind the orchard with Professor Glenell, mostly because she finds having someone able to prestidigitate at will saves her paying for a cook or cleaner and my presence is unlikely to stir up any unfortunate gossip. I do have some romantic entanglements, but they are largely clandestine and fleeting affairs due to my unconventional gender preferences - and honestly where do people find the time? Personality: Salonius is an off exasperated earnest young man, passionate about botany, philosophy, and wizardry, in more or less that order. He tends towards intensity and obsession with his studies filling volumes of notebooks with meticulous notes, and forgetting meals in academic fervour. That he has a social life is a testament to the affection of his seven sisters, and he does enjoy socialization when forced into it - especially if he can talk philosophy, or more rarely the propagation of fruit trees.
Appearance:
Associates: Enemy: Whoever keeps eating the cake flavoured pears (testing the effects of long term prestidigitation usage). Peeko has been exonerated after a very tense three days in a cage.
Mother: Hestella Barradin is a formidable woman, and the benevolent(ish) dictator of her family. She dearly wants grandchildren, but despite her seven girls being in their twenties none have provided offspring, and only two are married! Given that her girls share her headstrong nature this is an endless source of arguments. As her youngest child and only boy Salonius is the apple of her eye, but she sees him as weak and helpless. She loves her husband, but finds his absent minded genial nature troubling. Hestella is a tall woman who used to be slender, but seems to becoming more and more muscular as the years go by, her long silky hair is usually braided and there is still some gold amongst the grey. Father: Pellus Barradin is a quiet contented man who invests in dozens of businesses and has some level of sorcerous ability, which he seems to rarely makes use of. His familiar is an elderly obese cat named Whiskerton who wears a pair of specially crafted spectacles and helps review accounts and acts as a sounding board. Pellus is balding with coarase red hair and a growing paunch. Sisters: Mellia, Hestia, Helena, Jenevieve, Niera, Iressa, and Dessa. Niera Barradin is a poet (low level expert?) with a talent for forgery that actually supplies most of her livelihood. She is a great flirt, but rarelly ever more than that, and enjoys living on the edge. Having associates in both of Kintargo's gangs, and with several of the less government approved religious groups. Niera is 25, 4 years older than Salonius, she loves playing with his silky hair - to such an extent that Salonius has a habit of checking himself for surreptitiously applied hair bows. She bonded a female thrush familiar (Iron Will, Familiar Bond) because of her adoration and appreciation of Peeko and just how useful a talking super stealthy accomplice could be to a forger. Her thrush is named Sesha, and Niera had them, Sesha and Peeko, married by a bemused Priestess of Erastil - much to Salonius's exasperation, Peeko is fine with it. Niera is an attractive tall woman, with a head of, to her mind, coarse red hair - hence her love of Salonius's wasted silky blond lockes. She has piercing green eyes and tends to look like she is about to hit someone with a rolling pin, a combination of a perennially vexed expression and her assertive walk. She does not get along with her sister Helena, mostly because Helena has gorgeous blond hair and is very smug about her idyllic married life. Also when she was seven Helena tied her favourite doll to a street dog so it could ride it and Lady Lucibell was lost forever. Helena has been regularly eviscerated in prose ever since, though Niera likes to think she has been subtle enough that her dull witted sister will never notice - she has noticed. Helena Barradin is 26, and is married to a well to do tailor. She used to be a tomboy, but after setting out to become a Pathfinder (swashbuckler 1) in her late teens she had her leg badly broken by a troglodyte on her first mission and still walks with a cane - though the cane is pretty much an affectation now, and is actually a sword-cane. She has long blond hair which reaches down to her hips and tends to overdress for every occasion as if trying to compensate for her formerly laddish dress and mannerisms. She is her husbands second wife, he was a widower, and relationship between her and his daughter is very close, Realla is 9 and wants to become an artist. -------------------- Peeko CR –

Salonius is an off exasperated earnest young man, passionate about botany, philosophy, and wizardry, in more or less that order. He tends towards intensity and obsession with his studies filling volumes of notebooks with meticulous notes, and forgetting meals in academic fervour. That he has a social life is a testament to the affection of his seven sisters, and he does enjoy socialization when forced into it - especially if he can talk philosophy, or more rarely the propagation of fruit trees. His recent involvement in the Alabaster Mirror has proven thrilling, and he well knows that he has spent more time stealthily making his way through moonlit streets than has been strictly necessary. Being fairly self aware he knows he, and probably the majority of the renegade philosophers are treating things like a game. Appearance::
Salonius begins the day meticulously neat, but invariably ends it with wild hair - he tends to sweep his hand through it when frustrated, enthused, or exasperated. Just shy of six feet he looks taller than he is due to a slender build, and has a head of silky blond hair - that his sisters love, but he finds an annoyance. He has a prominent nose and chin which could be described as handsome in flattering lighting. Associates::
Enemy: Whoever keeps eating the cake flavoured pears (testing the effects of long term prestidigitation usage). Peeko has been exonerated after a very tense three days in a cage. Professor Lidia Glenell is a middle aged botanist with a drinking problem whose life goal is to develop a self fermenting grape. She is fascinated with druids and frequently invites them to stay. Lidia is short and rather scruffy, she keeps all manner of things tucked into her curly brown hair, and wears baggy clothing. She is constantly trying different plant substances boiled in water, and trying to establish what if at beneficial properties they have - she has poisoned herself and Salonius on several dozen occasions. Mother: Hestella Barradin is a formidable woman, and the benevolent(ish) dictator of her family. She dearly wants grandchildren, but despite her seven girls being in their twenties none have provided offspring, and only two are married! Given that her girls share her headstrong nature this is an endless source of arguments. As her youngest child and only boy Salonius is the apple of her eye, but she sees him as weak and helpless.
