If you would like to play one of these characters, please reply to this thread to reserve a canon. Once a canon is reserved you have five days to fill out and post a complete character profile. Otherwise your reservation will become null and void. All canons come with at least one or two connections to other canon characters. If a character you want to play is connceted to some canon already in play, you might want to check out their posts and/or discuss the character relationship by PM with the respective player, before you post your canon profile. (That is not a must, but it might help you make the most out of your character. In the end, all character decisions are yours.)
Once a canon application is approved its entry below will be changed from black to grey text and the name will be struck out.
 .......... Anderson 29 | American | Daily Herald Journalist | Cautious Anderson always wanted to join the military as he comes from a long and proud line of officers, but was diagnosed with a rare congenital blood disease that precluded him from military service. He is fine as long as he takes his medication, but it was enough to ruin any dream of a military career. He drifted between various jobs for a while, before he landed at a newspaper, where he slowly worked his way through the ranks until the Daily Herald offered him a job that brought him to Avalon a few years ago. He has a sometimes-friendly, sometimes-unfriendly rivalry with Evans (1) from the Avalonia Times. From time to time he exchanges information with Moreau in a mutually beneficial relationship that is not quite a friendship, but close to it. Play By: Kerr Smith
 Anastasia .......... 28 | Russian | Embasy Staff | Suave The daughter of a minor noble family from St. Petersburg, Anastasia grew up somewhat removed from the harsh reality that is life in Russia. Russia being a male-dominated society there were limited career opportunities for her and she settled into a life of parties and dalliances with other minor nobles until one of them, an army officer, discovered her talent for languages and strongly recommended to her parents they push her into a job in the diplomatic service. Now she speaks half a dozen languages fluently, which qualified her for the job as the Russian envoy's official translator. In preparation for this task she has also studied Western cultures as much as possible from behind the border. Part of her job in Avalonia is to make contacts among the Western diplomats and politicians and just keep her eyes and ears open. Count du Lac is on her list of people to meet, as is Baron von der Tann. Play By: Olivia Wilde
 Count .......... du Lac 240 | Elf | Diplomat | Womanizer The count once ranked among the most famous and accomplished of elven warriors, but his heart never really was in it, despite his talent for fencing and thorough training. He distinguished himself in 1922, fighting on the Eastern Front, but when a position at the elven delegation to the Free World League opened he jumped at the opportunity. It seemed a far better place to indulge his likes for beautiful women and good living than the elven military. He is married, but that was mostly a political marriage, and his wife has decided to excuse herself to the Otherworld for a year now, ostensibly to care for her ailing father. Their union has produced a daughter, Siobhan, over a century ago, and right now the count shares his villa in the Bayside with his daughter. He has run into Baron von der Tann a few times at the FWL, and knows de Vries from their time fighting on the Eastern Front together. Play By: Pierce Brosnan
 .......... Wulf 32 | Valkyrie | Cop | Dedicated Wulf was born on Earth and considers it her home, sometimes acting more like a tall, strong human than a Valkyrie, to the great disappointment of her parents. Growing up, she often found herself in fights at school and showed remarkable restraint in using her strength on those weaker than her. When someone suggested that this would make her a great cop it was meant as something of a joke, but it stuck in her head and ultimately lead to her career choice. Sometimes frequents O'Riley's pub and has run into Lars there. Sometimes takes part in shooting competitions where she has met Baron von der Tann. (If she's just a beat cop or an investigator will be for her player to decide.) Play By: Natasha Henstridge
 Lars .......... 36 | Einheriar | Free World Army | Moody Lars grew up in the Otherworld, but decided to cross over to Earth and make a living there when he was 17, leaving his parents and three siblings behind. What he didn't tell his family (or anyone else) is why he made that decision. Unlike other Einheriar, Lars has never found it in him to go berserk. Perhaps he just never found the right trigger to push him into it, but as far as he knows he is the only Einheriar this has ever happened to, and he thinks of himself as somehow defective for it. But at least the human armies welcomed a warrior who was twice as strong as a human and did not flip out at the smallest insult, so he managed to make a career in the Free World Army. Every few months he takes a few days off to visit his family, but hasn't told them about his condition yet. Likes to visit O'Riley's pub, and has run into Wulf there. Play By: Alec Newman
 .......... Evans (1) 41 | Half-elf | Avalonia Times Journalist | Confident Evans was born out of wedlock, the daughter of an Avalonian woman, and an elven father she never knew. All her mother would say about him was that he was handsome and dashing, but that the relationship just wasn't meant to last. Evans worked hard to make it through university with an excellent degree in journalism. She began work for the Avalonia Times right after university and is now one of their most successful reporters. The only sign of her elven heritage is that she ages slowly and she is often mistaken for a woman much younger than her 41. At times it irks her when people don't take her serious because they think she's too young for her work, but she's not above playing the young-and-innocent card in pursuit of a story. Has had a few run ins with Anderson from the Daily Herald. Currently her cousin, Evans (2) shares her apartment with her. Play By: Laura Harris
 .......... O'Riley 40 | Shapeshifter | Pub Owner | Loyal O'Riley is always a bit vague where in the British isles he's really from, but most people don't really mind, as long as the food and drink at the Old Oak remain as good as they have always been since O'Riley took over the place some six years ago. He is most often seen working the pub, as he often takes the shape of a dog when he decides to wander around the city or the park. Several Valkyries and Einheriar frequent his pub in the evenings, so he knows Lars and Wulf, but also Thompson who sometimes comes in for lunch and to study his books when he can afford it. Play By: Michael Weatherly
 .......... Lin 40 | Chinese | Lobbyist | Tireless Daughter of a British Trader and a Chinese refugee, Lin worked tirelessly from an early age to offer aid and comfort to the many Chinese refugees coming into Hong Kong until she caught a serious disease from one of them. She was moved to Avalonia for treatment from the mages at the hospital there, and has stayed in town ever since, finding much work to do in the Chinese community of Avalonia. She organizes fundraisers for refugees, lobbys for a greater voice for refugees in international affairs, and writes colums for both the Daily Herald and the Avalonia Times on current politics. (Lin knows Anderson and Evans (1) through that work.) Play By: Kelly Hu
 .......... Thompson 24 | Human | Wizard in training | Uncertain Born, bred, and raised a farmer's son in Avalon, Thompson never aspired to much, but his parents insisted he got a good education, and when he reached puberty he was tested positively for magical talent. At first he thought that would be awesome, but then he discovered that the prize he had to pay for his magic was that he could never work it without a lenghty ritual. he was as talented as anyone in his classes at university, but he never could produce the same results as fast or casually as anyone else could. That frustrates him to no end, but he knows his parents have high hopes for him, so he hangs on and tries his best. Often hangs out at O'Riley's pub when he can afford to eat there. Is torn between jealousy and admiration for anyone who can work magic faster than him. Play By: Zack Efron
 .......... Evans (2) 22 | Human | Undecided | Imaginative The cousin of Evans (1) really wants to attend university, but right now she can't decide what it is she actually wants to study. Acting sounds like an interesting career, but politics could lead to a career, and magic would be just cool, and... While trying to make up her mind, Evans (2) lives with her aunt, and works as a waitress to pay her share of the rent and hangs out at the university campuses a lot where she pretends to be a student from another faculty. She doesn't think of that as a real lie, just something that will soon enough become true, and it gets her into some great student parties now and then. Play Buy: Sophia Bush
 Freiherr (Baron) .......... von der Tann 37 | Human | German Diplomat | Loner Baron von der Tann was groomed from a young age to become another one in a long line of diplomats and politicians his family has produced over the last hundred years. But while he took well to his training, he always felt that being a diplomat was not right. Not when so many other people lay their lives on the line daily, actively fighting. In his spare time he studied military sciences, and trained himself to be an expert marksman, winning several pistol shooting competitions in the past, but now that he has been assigned to the German delegation to the FWL and is constantly surrounded by diplomats and politicians he feels again that his vocation is not what a man should do to help the war effort. Knows Count du Lac through his work, and Wulf from a shooting club they both frequent. Play By: Ewan McGregor
 .......... Barnes (1) 25 | Human | Party Girl | Spoiled Barnes's father owns the Daily Herald, but, to his great regret, his daughter shows no interest in filling her father's shoes one day. But to make her old man happy and keep the money flowing she attends university as a student of political sciences, investing just enough effort to make passing grades. She'd much rather party and enjoy the company of men than get serious about university. If she can just find a rich guy who'll spoil her rotten she'll be happy; her mother (recently deceased) was something of a trophy wife, and she certainly comes after her. Often goes out partying with her brother Barnes (2) and Siobhan. Lives in an apartment paid for by her dad. Play By: Shantel Van Santen
 .......... Barnes (2) 25 | Human | Student | Scheming Like his twin sister, Barnes (1), he has no intention of getting into the newspaper business. Not that he would mind running his own company and lording it over some employees, but he considers himself smart enough and suave enough to make it on his own. Attends university on a sports scholarship and uses his success as a sportsman and his good looks to woo the ladies. He'd love to hook up with a rich and well-connected girl and milk her for what she's worth, but so far Siobhan has resisted his charms, which sometimes irks him, but he can hide his ambitions well and is used to playing charmingly naive. Sooner or later he'll find the right rich woman to propel his career forward. Play By: Brant Daugherty
 .......... de Vries 190 | Elf | Combat Instructor | Efficient An old acquaintance of Count du Lac, but they don't have regular contact, as she can't be bothered too much with politics. She is the daughter of a minor elven house that has a long tradition of excelence in swordsmanship. She volunteered for the initial elven entry into the war in 1922, to prove her combat skills, and has since then branched out from swordfighting to several other form of melee and hand-to-hand combat. Knows Lars through her work as a combat instructor for the FWA. But while she works for the FWA, she is not in the military, as she prefers being her own woman. Play By: Trisha Helfer
 .......... Moreau 42 | Human | French Embassy Staff | Sly Moreau is a minor functionary at the French delegation to the Free World League. He bears no grand title or important job description, but still is a man of refined, and expensive tastes. He is not above selling information to the highest bidder to supplement his income, for while his actual work is rather unimportant, it still provides him access to valuable information. A few people suspect that he is the source of some leaks at the FWL, but so far he has done a good job of not leaving any incriminating evidence behind, and investigations that could point in his direction are often canceled or directed somewhere else by someone high up. (If he has someone powerful in his pocket or if he actually acts with sanction of some powerful government figure will be for his player to decide.) Sometimes shares information with Anderson, if he can get something useful in return. Play By: Aidan Gillen

Siobhan du Lac 110 | Elf | Diplomat's Daughter | Fun-Loving The daughter of Count du Lac works as a healer at the Avalonia hospital, but when not at work has a fable for fashion and parties. The latter brought her in contact with Barnes (1) and her brother Barnes (2), and they tend to party together at least once a week. Thinks of Barnes (2) as handsome, but doesn't really trust him. Play By: Jessica Alba
 .......... Salgado 38 | Human | Military Intelligence | Observer Once a cop in the Avalonia City Police Department, Salgado quit his job about a year ago, to have a bit more freedom, as he told everyone. Since then he makes his living as a private investigator, but secretly works as an agent for the Free Worlds Army intelligence division. Knows Wulf from his days in the ACPD. He'd love to learn more about what the Russians are up to, so he might approach Anastasia at one point, if the chance presents itself, but he can be a patient man. Play By: Esai Morales
 Yasmin .......... 22 | Human | Single Mother | Torn Yasmin would love nothing more than a decent, reputable job, but that doesn't bring in the kind of money a young single mother needs to raise a toddler, so she works as an exotic dancer, often in some of the seedier clubs in town. Her boyfriend deserted her the moment he learned she was pregnant, and since then has joined the army and is stationed somewhere Yasmin really doesn't care about. She'd love to hook up with a rich man who can provide for her and her baby girl, but in her heart of hearts she just wants to find someone who cares for her daughter and her, no matter if he's rich or not. If a job opening provides itself, Yasmin could end up working as a maid for one of the richer people in town, perhaps the du Lac family, one of the Barnes twins, or even Count von der Tann. Play By: Rihanna
