☉ Valentina and Santiago Capricho ☉
Name: Valentina Capricho
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Birthday: July 13th x870
Sexuality: Curious
Special Characteristics: N/A
Personality:
Valentina is a vibrant and curious girl with inexhaustible ambition. There isn’t a place she won’t explore or a person she won’t try to strike up a conversation with. She adores being in the moment and in the thick of whatever is going on, even if she’s just observing. Secrets both entice her and bore her, depending on how stubborn they are to reveal. She’s as open as the book she records her adventures in, keeping no secrets about herself but likewise being horrible at keeping them for others. Often breaking into either passages from famous writers or quoting her own ‘literary genius’, one would think she was the dramatic and loud type, but she’s actually reserved and, if anything, a little coy in her interactions with others. Valentina is pretty confident in herself (especially her luscious booty), and even if she isn’t, she pretends she is and tries to convince everyone else, too. Everything she sees, hears, smells, and does is simply fodder for her writings, whether it’s good or bad.She is not without imperfections, though. She’s hard to keep up with and becomes frustrated easily if she doesn’t feel like she’s come far enough along in her experiences. Valli knows that a day will come when her life will change and she’ll be tied down, so she’ll only have these years of freedom and travel to draw from while she writes novels back at the winery. There’s a bitterness in her about her ultimate fate, as well as some conflicting emotions. She loves her family even though they keep secrets, and though they expect all their children to return to them when it’s time, she both wants to help her family and run far away to escape the responsibility. She tries to keep a positive spin on it, but truthfully it feels like nothing more than a birdcage is waiting for her, so she’s hesitant to form deep bonds with others.
Though an Encan native, Enca’s economy struggled so hard trying to recover from being battered by stray Alphas from Sin that the main branch of the family-owned business took a risk and emigrated to Ca-Elum when Valentina was young. The wine business is as good in Ca-Elum as it is in the smaller branches left in Enca, so the Capricho family has effectively become a big name in the wine industry. They plan to expand to all the nations in Ishgar, and perhaps even to other continents in time.
Likes:
☉ Travel: Valentina wants to travel every square mile of the whole world.
☉ Literature: She’s an avid reader and writer and both of those things have shaped her ambitions.
☉ People: People are fascinating and unpredictable. Why make up personalities when you can take inspiration from all the organic ones hanging around every corner?
☉ Money: It takes a lot of cash to travel and experience the world, so she’ll make money any way she can. Usually, this is by using her magic, but as long as the job is reasonable, she’s more than willing to go along.
☉ Magic: Being an enchantress adventurer, she adores that she has access to all manners of magic.
Dislikes:
☉ Secrets: Secrets are exciting to figure out, but infuriating if they remain secrets. Those that refuse to reveal their truths ultimately bore her.
☉ Being Interrupted: Whether it’s reading, talking, eating, or completing a task, she hates being interrupted. This likely stems from hardly ever getting a word in since her family is so large.
☉ Killing: Valli is highly unwilling to kill a living thing unless there is absolutely no other choice.
Motivations:
☉ Writing a Literary Masterpiece: The more experiences she accumulates, the more interesting her work will be.
☉ Exploration: The thrill of sticking her curious nose in every part of the world keeps her busy.
☉ Santiago: He’s really struggling in a lot of ways, and it falls entirely on her to deal with it and help him.
Fears:
☉ Fire: An attack from a monster burnt down her original home as a child and trapped her inside. She’s yet to get over that fear.
☉ Cold-blooded Animals: They’re slimy and cold and dealing with them freaks her out.
☉ Santiago: Valentina is terrified that there is no way she can help him, which will end in losing him one way or another.

Name: Santiago “Hush” Capricho
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birthday: March 19th x872
Sexuality: Unknown
Special Characteristics: N/A
Personality:
Santiago is a disturbed individual. Initially, he seems innocent and shy, the mirror opposite to Valentina. Introverted to a painful degree, his depression is crippling and his outlook on life is very dim. He prefers to stay quietly in the background if at all possible, though in small instances he can function as an awkward but sweet boy.He was always a mentally fragile boy with enormous dreams of grandeur. Though he was even younger than Valli when they moved to Ca-Elum, he thought he could help raise his home country back to its former glory days by becoming a hero in the Ca-Elum navy, but that wasn’t to be. As soon as he came of age, he joined the navy as planned, but was immediately met with disaster when his ship was separated from the fleet on his first dispatch to aid Enca. After a hellacious encounter with Alphas out at sea, the ensuing blood bath left him the lone injured soldier on the warship. After a couple of weeks, the ship washed up on the shore of one of the Encan islands, and by some miracle, Santi was still alive. The lone survivor.
He was never the same after that. What little he’d had in the way of strength was gone and he was just a husk when he returned to Ca-Elum. Not only were his hero dreams destroyed, but living on a ship of dead comrades for 2 weeks broke him in ways that have yet to truly manifest. He is now capable of such terrible things when he snaps, and though he is aware of his new self and fears he may get stuck being a psychopath forever, part of him longs to be free of the weight of his trauma so he can just act on his impulses and feel normal...feel everything...or perhaps not feel at all.
Likes:
☉ Adrenaline: It takes a lot to get his blood pumping, and it’s the only way he feels alive.
☉ Quiet: When it’s quiet, he can almost forget the screams.
☉ Sleep: Curiously, he doesn’t have nightmares, so sleep is the only refuge he has from his living hell.
Dislikes:
☉ Oceans: His experience out on the seas was enough for him. He’d be glad if he never saw open water again.
☉ People: The more he’s around others, the more impulses he has to do terrible things...they’re just so loud...why can’t they hush.
☉ Reality: Reality for him was once filled with opportunity and wonder. Now it’s lost all its sparkle and he’d rather not deal with it. Maybe he can craft his own.
Motivations:
☉ Carnage: The very scenes that fractured his mind compels him to recreate them over and over again.
☉ No Rules: Since reality no longer makes sense and has been rejected, he sees no point in following constructs of mankind.
☉ Death: Something in him won’t let him take care of it himself, so his only solution is to have someone else kill him.
Fears:
☉ Loud Sounds: The trauma in his past has made loud noises trigger him.
☉ Himself: He knows his own thoughts and knows he’s not right, but it just makes everything he thinks and does that much more thrilling.
☉ Alphas: After what he’s seen out of these terrible beasts, the mention of them will send him into a downward spiral...yet perhaps, an Alpha is exactly what he longs to be...
