(OOC: The 'Four Holidays' I mention here are actual druidic holidays. The attributes to them are not part of them.)

Name: Syril Ferrus
Species: Human
Origin: Grove-born
Gender: Male
Age: 27

Appearance
~Height: 6'01"
~Weight: 173 lb
~Eyes: Blue.
~Hair: Dirty Blond. It has rarely been cut, and trails down past his thigh. Facial hair includes a blond goatee, with some stubble on the cheeks.
~Skin: White

Weapon(s): He has always been seen with a polearm resembling a sword atop a quarterstaff, generally considered to be a variation of the lance. It glows with an icy blue when he uses his druidic powers.

Armor: He wears metal-studded leather furs, some bits boiled in certail oils and herbs to give the leather more density, and protection. Several trinkets hang from the shoulder pads and chest plate.

Skills: He is skilled as a young druid would be; well rounded, being decent with the druidic spells and abilities of old and with the more martial skill of using his lance.

As for the commonly known Druidic Shapeshifting skills, Syril is less adept at it than others. He, being a specialist druid (see below), focused more on the abilities granted to him by the Samhain, such as manipulation of frost and spirit animals.

Personality: Reserved, thought not silent. His face is usually impassive, void of emotion, unless there is something to provoke a smile or frown upon him.

Occupation: Samhain Druidae (Samhainic druid, see below).

Short History: In the world of druids, there are four holidays that denote particular seasonal changes in nature: Imbolc (or Imbolg) for the first signs of spring, Beltane (or Beltain) for the fullness of life after spring, Lughnasadh to celebrate the harvest (and the many skilled-god Lugh), and Samhain, the end of the harvest and the lowering of the barrier betwixt the living and the dead.

Also in the world of druids, there are specialists in these four holidays: Imbolic, Beltanic, Lughnasadic, and Samhainic Druids. Each forsakes a bit of their overall ability over the earth for certain aspects of their chosen speciality. For example, Imbolic druids are great healers; Beltanic Druids can harness the cleansing flames; Lughnasadic Druids are more agile, stealthy, and nimble, due to their following of Lugh; Samhainic Druids have powers over frost and minor influence over the dead, in the form of spirit animals.

Syril Ferrius is the lattermost of these; he is a Samhainic Druid, sent to explore the world that is unknown to him, the world of settlements and towns, cities and stone. After all, 'one must learn not only of Nature in its rightful place, but of the parts of it taken away as well.'

Name: Breseth Allanson
Species: Human
Origin: City-born
Gender: Male
Age: 25

Appearance
~Height: 5"09'
~Weight: 154 lb
~Eyes:
~Hair: Black. It tends to stick upward and outward naturally.
~Skin: White

Weapon(s): Breseth has always known he was from the city rather than the grove itself, so he chose to pick a form of protection that most other grove-dwellers would not view as an option. He ended up picking a farming scythe, but replaced the blade with a much stronger, military-grade version. The blade, like Syril's glows when he is utilizing his fiery powers, but his glows red.

Armor: Breseth wears considerably less armor than Syril, forsaking the thick shoulderpads for more mobility. Other than that, the armor is the same: metal-studded leathers, soaked in oils to make them stiffer and more resilient, including a chest piece, greaves, boots and thinner gloves.

Skills: He is a Beltanic Druid, meaning he harvests the power of the Holiday Beltain, the Summer Holiday. This means he controls fire, and in very specific cases, lightning. He is skilled with crippling his opponents with his scythe, tripping them up and hamstringing them if necessary.

Personality: Brash, very vocal, very violent when upset. Tends to be short-sighted in his resolutions to problems.

Occupation: Beltane Druidae

Short History: Breseth was an abandoned child that was left at the edge of the forest. The Grand Druid recovered the child and, after some argument between the elders about 'outsiders' and such, decided to have the child raised as a druid.

Upon his growing up, they realized that the child had magical potential. However, he was unable to perform natural magics except for fire. So, he was raised as a Specialist of Beltain.

Among the grovemembers, he was not viewed favorably. He tended to be much more shortsighted and brash in his thinking. As a result, he quickly left when two other druids, Syril and Lira, left the grove for their Druid Expedition, a ritual that all druids undertake once at least to learn of the world beyond their grove. If they choose to return they can, but they are free to roam.

Breseth vowed never to return once he left.

Name: Lira of Lughnasadh
Species: Human
Origin: Grove-born
Gender: Female
Age: 24

Appearance
~Height: 5"04'
~Weight: 100 lbs.
~Eyes: Gray.
~Hair: Brunette. Shoulderlength.
~Skin: Tan

Weapon(s): She uses two crescent wrist-blades as her weapons. They are essentially curved blades with one side being a well-rounded surface for bludgeoning, the other being a sharpened edge for slicing. Handles jut from the top of the blade, and are twirled by the wrist when used.

Armor: She uses only a leather chest harness, not oilsoaked, so that it retains its natural flexibility.

Skills: Lira is extremely quick, agile, and flexible. As a result, it is very hard to keep her contained for long. She is also very 'easy on the eyes,' and has been known to use this to her advantage.

Personality: Very shy to outsiders, is a bit clingy on her friends. Holds her own in battle, however.

Occupation: Lughnasadh Druidae

Short History: Lira is the youngest of the troupe of Druids (Syril, Breseth, and her) that left for their Druidic Expedition. Her mother was disowned by the Grove after actions that were never revealed to her, so her last name is unknown to her. Her father's whereabouts are unknown.

She has always looked to Syril as an older brother and close friend, but as she has grown older, her feelings have become less and less platonic, and more romantic. She keeps these thoughts hidden, but Breseth knows of them, having caught her in the act of spying on Syril once. He promised not to tell and, so far, hasn't.
"Hmph. I don't even need this rusty sword to kill you."
