Amena Caladharas. Born 6519. Amena (which means “honest woman” in gaelic), is the daughter of Thorongil Caladharas. She was killed back during the first House War in the year 6547. She was 28 years old when she became pregnant with her only child Thorondor Ian Caladharas, and died due to injuries sustained in the Sombra Bombing when Ian was a month old.
Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
“Well, the Taioseach happened to be on the other continent when this lunatic decided to make orbital travel fatal and this weird field made non-orbital intercontinental travel impossible, and then the same lunatic firebombed the /other/ Taioseach who didn’t have a Tanaiste at the time, so the whole lovely chain of command devolved onto me. I’ve pretty much hated every second of it, but it’s not like I have much of a choice. You?”
“Oh, I discovered that the Towers are sentient and found out a couple more things that the Towers decided shouldn’t be public, so I got captured, cloned, and put on ice while my clone was sent back out, got married and gave birth to you. By the way, how’s that drink coming?”
By the way, mom … call me Ian. 🙂 I doubt this could be any more awkward for either of them. Oh, wait! There’s his wife and her mother. Just keeps getting better for the poor kid.
