Cody Cinnabar

Son of Ether

Backstory: Cody Cinnabar is a young and idealistic etherite. Formerly a fervent fan of star trek and pulp science fiction, Cody has little sense of subtlety but an outspoken vision. Like many etherites, his life changed when a copy of the Kitab al Alacir fell into his posession. Having cut his teeth on the purple prose of Doc Smith, the thick language of Aretus proved a surmountable obstacle for the avid reader. His mind dizzy with thoughts from the heavy tome, Cody was approached by Vera Verdis, a stiff but brilliant Daughter of Ether, who inducted the enthralled student into the Order and taught him the basic Sciences. A year and a half ago, the two had a falling out. Vera's classical Etheric theories clashed with Cody's pseudo-modern love for plutonium, rockets, and genetic engineering.

On his own, Cody began to develop a more jaded eye. He has grown increasingly displeased with the state of the world, even beyond that of most reality deviants. (a term he actually prefers to 'traditions') Nevertheless, he has not surrendered to despair, but always seeks improvement

Vali Bartal

Backstory: Vali's blood, like all Swara, traces back to the african savanna, but it's been diluted by generations of eastern european blood. Vali in particular diluted things a little further, having been born during a family trip to the united states. His dual hungarian/US citizenship would have mattered little, were it not for his clan's discovery by a garou pack, who traced their blood back to an underhanded assassination in vampire pay several hundred years ago. At the age of four, his clan was decimated and scattered, and Vali was abandoned to foster care in the states.

Before his eighteenth birthday, his swara nature came forward. No later had it happened than Vali abandoned his new parents, for no better reason than whim, and set out at the behest of his bloodline's curiosity and wanderlust. A year ago, he had a favorable encounter with a young mage. Fascinated by true magic, but knowing it to be forever outside his reach, Vali chooses to gravitate in Tradition circles. Despite his sly nature, he's building the beginnings of a reputation, thanks to his agile hands and nearly unbreakable spirit.
