Here are the revised character profiles for Silas and Ben - any feedback before I post them?
Name: Brother Silas
Sex: Male
Social Class: Silas is the ghost of a Poet-monk
Age in human years (must be 18): 30 at the time of his death, twenty years ago
A brief description of appearance: (no pictures, please.)
Silas is white-haired, and exudes serenity. He wears flowing robes that are the colours of the rainbow. (All other ghost-monks wear brown.)
Background:
Silas began life as Simon Cromwell, a prince from Cliffcross. He was slated to be married to Melina (who was 14 at the time, 26 years before our story). Melina rejected him. Taking the failure to heart, he renounced his royal title and took up life in Kodama Abbey as a monk named Brother Silas. Within six years, he became the Abbot (head monk) there. Twenty years before our main story, he and all other monks were killed, and consigned to the spiritual world, and the abbey quaked into ruins.
Brother Silas is the leader of the Ghosts of Kodama Abbey, the ghosts of the thousand monks destroyed by the Royals twenty years earlier. The ghosts are awakened in the presence of the High Mage Hemios and the High Scientist Barnabas, while a Royal - Arthur - plays the violin, as it was ordained in the Scriptures. These ghosts have an important role to play in the final battle of good and evil. They contain the light of goodness.
Name: Ben
Sex: Male
Social Class: Ben is the ghost of a Poet-monk
Age in human years (must be 18): 25 at the time of his death, twenty years ago
A brief description of appearance: (no pictures, please.)
Ben is attractive and tall, with a wild mane of long, dark hair, and alert eyes that are always observing. He tends to wear a thoughtful expression, as well as the conventional brown robes of the monks of Kodama Abbey. His movements are fluid and graceful, befitting his ghost status.
Background:
Ben (at aged 19) entered Kodama Abbey at the same time as Silas, and the two of them bonded like brothers. Like Silas, he is devoted to the teachings of their patrons, the gods Aether and Chronos. Ben is the key to Katara and Ravenna retrieving two fragments of the Celestial Gear – the orange fragment representing Aether, the god of air, and the yellow fragment representing Chronos, the god of time.
