TITLES:
  • Archduke of Dantella IV
  • Warlock of the Daniels
  • Patriarch of House Daniels
LINEAGE:
  • House Daniels - Noble bloodline dating back centuries in southern continents of Dantella IV
ANCESTRY:
  • Primarily of Dantellian heritage.
  • Dantooine - Distant
  • Chandrillian - Distant
DOMAIN - Daniels Dantellian Estate
  • HISTORICAL CONTEXT: The Daniels have taken up residence in the castle formerly known as Burg Kreusenstein This has since been renamed as the Daniels Manor by Jake. Build in the 12th century, the Manor was passed from Monarchy to Monarchy, then Nobility to Nobility until falling into the hands of Noble House of Salintino, a Noble House that took to full restoration of the castle. In an event that has become known as the Salintino Massacre, Jake Daniels destroyed the family and claimed the castle for his own kin. Further restorative efforts have continued under his guidance.
Exterior of the Manor:
  • The Daniels Manor is made of thick solid stone walls. The walls work to both protect the inhabitants from visible outside threats such as people and animals along with the harsh royal landsn Winters and occasional scorching Summers. The roofing is made of clay tiles in a neothical style which makes it unique among castles built during the 12th century. There is one known entrance into the home which is a stone pathway that leads from the surface streets below the mountain it resides upon and towards the castle courtyard. Due to its age and historical significance, the outer walls and roof of the home have been coated in a clear fire retardant film that can be felt to the touch. Instead of feeling stone on their fingertips guests would get a sensation of a soapy residue. This special retardant does not wash off in intense rain nor snow melt. During especially hot summers the retardant can melt off which requires a thorough reapplication on the entire structure.
  • The castle courtyard serves as the welcoming area for all guests within the home itself. It is semi-expansive and allows for multiple entrances to various points of the overall castle itself. Though it appears simple in design, the Daniels’s have begun planting in the courtyard to give it a more natural feel. Small trees, shrubbery and even grass have been strategically placed to help give it a calmer setting.
  • The outer perimeter of the castle is protected by a thick wall. The wall has been enchanted to prevent penetration from magical attacks. Though people can pass under, through, or over it by physical means, they are unable to break it with spells. Likewise the wall is well protected from the inside by family and allies that rotate shifts at night to protect it. Should an issue arise there is an alarm sounded that brings out the remaining residents of the castle to act as immediate defense.
Interior of the Manor:
  • The Castle has several key rooms which are open to all guests of the Daniels family. The first is the general sitting room. This room is where all patrons are brought before they are greeted by whichever family member they are there to see. Simple in design it is intentionally openly spacious with limited seating to prevent any lingering. The Daniels are firm believers in never letting a guest simply idle.
  • A nearby room serves as a more relaxed gathering spot. If meetings are informal guests may be brought to the parlor. A collection of wines and whiskeys serves to stiate the tastes of many people. Beer is strictly prohibited within the manor as Daniels’s find beer to be a simpletons vice.
  • As the castle serves as the main hub for both lines of Daniels, it hosts a massive library. The library is a collection of books throughout history that the family has collected to ensure that, like their personal grimoires, knowledge is never lost. The books held in this library a compilation of original works from Dantellian Authors, first editions, signed copies, old english encyclopedias, various religious texts, and even ancient maps of the world. The Daniels’s view one of the rights as protectors of the written word and do what they must to collect written pieces that will serve people in the future.
  • While the large library is open to all, family and guest alike, the secondary library is only accessible by Danielss themselves. Protected by a magical family barrier, only those with Daniels blood or mated to a Daniels are capable accessing the room. The room holds every Grimoire of Danielss long deceased. Whenever a Daniels dies, their Grimoire is stored in this room to protect it and the knowledge it holds.
  • The Manor holds two dining rooms. The first dining room is the one used for non-events. Simple in design but imposing in size, the dining room is meant to display a simplicity that many other areas of the castle actually lack. The second dining room is extravagant in design. It is meant to put on display not just the wealth that the Danielss have amassed under Jake’s watch but also to display their aura of power and dominance in royal lands.
  • The kitchen is located in one part of the basement. The ceiling is built with reinforced stone and wood to limit the heat that radiates through the floor to the higher levels when cooking occurs. The kitchen kept most of its original neolithic design however security measures were added to protect the castle. These include modernized electronic devices (such as refrigerators). The stones are wood burning but made of metal instead of stone so limit the possibility of fire. If wood is limited coal or other burning materials may be used in its place. Attached to the kitchen is the wine cellar. Wine’s are often bought and brought to the cellar to sit for decades. The Daniels’s have a strict layout in place that set wines up by region and year with oldest wines on the upper levels of the shelving and the newest being at the bottom.
  • In the tower of the castle is the Potions and Alchemy rooms. Unlike the private library, these rooms are open to everyone. Whenever an ingredient is used it is expected to be replaced within two days so as to always have a ready supply available in case of emergencies. The Potions and Alchemy Rooms are not to be used by untrained Daniels’s or allies. They are to always have a guide among them to ensure that potions are created correctly.
  • Bedrooms are spread throughout the castle and each is customized by the Daniels or Ally of the Daniels Family that resides within. An example of a bedroom would be Gavin Daniels’s Bedroom. Every bedroom has its own private washroom. No closets exist within the castle due to space limitations to many wardrobes are stored inside traditional and standing dressers.

APPEARANCE
  • HEIGHT: 5’11
  • WEIGHT: 175 lbs
  • EYES: Dark Oak
  • HAIR: Black

SKIN:
  • Ramiels complexion is slightly darker than most Daniels men. Though in his late forties, Ramiel has taken great pride in ensuring his youth through meticulous self-care and preservation. What is hidden beneath his otherwise pristine clothing is a body of scars that shows a lifetimes of conflict. Ramiel does not like anyone seeing his body as his views each scar as a failure of some particular action he could not stop from an enemy.

BODY MODS:
  • Ramiel holds scars that are covered by his suits. The scars are from his earlier mortal life. In his youth he was a renowned Warlock that had come to the defense of the House of Daniels more than any other. As a result he was also a prime target for enemy’s. The scars vary from arrow wounds, stabbings, sword cuts and his back holds several marks from a whip. The House of Daniels had yet to master healing spells so the wounds scarred. He views every scar as a failure.

FASHION/STYLE:
  • Ramiel is unrivaled in his sense of style and presentation. Over the years he has developed a taste for fine three piece suits. He does not believe in a mishmash of style. If the suit is black, the tie and vest will match for example. Shirts are always eggshell white. Every shirt thus requires cufflinks which the man had several dozen different sorts. He does not own ‘fun’ socks. All socks are black as are his shoes. Every show is hand polished by Ramiel himself when he has worn the particular pair three times. The laces are routinely replaced to ensure they are as presentable upon the shoe as he is. Given his lifestyle and feeding, Ramiel often has to toss out his shirts and acquire new ones.
POWERS
  • Magically Infused - Ramiel is head of the line of Danielss that has the ability to wield and use magic. Ramiels specialty is magic involving the earth.
  • Close Quarters Combat: As an Agent for the Dantellian Government Ramiel has received training in hand to hand combat.
  • Firearms Proficiency: Ramiel can use both a side arm pistol, lever action rifle (hunting), or a shotgun due to his training.

NATURE
Ramiel loves patterns, and spotting discrepancies between statements could almost be described as a hobby, making it a bad idea to lie to him. This makes it ironic that Ramiels’ word should always be taken with a grain of salt – it’s not that he is dishonest, but Ramiel tends to share thoughts that are not fully developed, using others as a sounding board for ideas and theories in a debate against themselves rather than as actual conversation partners.

This may make him appear unreliable, but in reality no one is more enthusiastic and capable of spotting a problem, drilling through the endless factors and details that encompass the issue and developing a unique and viable solution than Ramiel – just don’t expect punctual progress reports. Ramiel isn't interested in practical, day-to-day activities and maintenance, but when he finds an environment where his creative genius and potential can be expressed, there is no limit to the time and energy Ramiel will expend in developing an insightful and unbiased solution.

DEMEANOR
Ramiel may appear to drift about in an unending daydream, but Ramiels’ thought process is unceasing, and his mind buzzes with ideas from the moment he wakes up. This constant thinking can have the effect of making him look pensive and detached, as he is often conducting full-fledged debates in his own head, but really Ramiel is quite relaxed and friendly when he is with people he knows, or who share his interests. However, this can be replaced by overwhelming shyness when Ramiel is among unfamiliar faces, and friendly banter can quickly become combative if he believes their logical conclusions or theories are being criticized.

Oftentimes, Ramiel will opt to simply move on from a topic before it’s ever understood what he was trying to say, rather than try to lay things out in plain terms. The reverse can also be true when people explain their thought processes to Ramiel in terms of subjectivity and feeling. Imagine an immensely complicated clockwork, taking in every fact and idea possible, processing them with a heavy dose of creative reasoning and returning the most logically sound results available – this is how Ramiels mind works, and he has little tolerance for an emotional monkey-wrench jamming their machines. The one thing that really holds Ramiel back is his restless and pervasive fear of failure. Ramiel is so prone to reassessing his own thoughts and theories, worrying that he's missed some critical piece of the puzzle, that he can stagnate, lost in an intangible world where his thoughts are never truly applied. Overcoming this self-doubt stands as the greatest challenge Ramiel is likely to face, but the intellectual gifts – big and small – bestowed on the world when he does makes it worth the fight.

FLAWS/WEAKNESSES
Strengths:
  • Great Analysts and Abstract Thinkers – Ramiel views the world as a big, complex machine, and recognize that as with any machine, all parts are interrelated. He excels in analyzing these connections, seeing how seemingly unrelated factors tie in with each other in ways that bewilder most other people.
  • Imaginative and Original – These connections are the product of an unrelenting imagination – Ramiels’ ideas may seem counter-intuitive at a glance, and may never even see the light of day, but they will always prove remarkable innovations.
  • Open-Minded – Ramiel couldn’t make these connections if he thought he knew it all – he is highly receptive to alternate theories, so long as they’re supported by logic and facts. In more subjective matters like social norms and traditions, Ramiel is usually fairly liberal, with a “none of my business” sort of attitude – peoples’ ideas are what matter.
  • Enthusiastic – When a new idea piques his interest, Ramiels can be very enthusiastic – they are a reserved personality type, but if another person shares an interest, he can be downright excited about discussing it. More likely though, the only outward evidence of his enthusiasm will be Ramiels silent pacing or his staring into the distance.
  • Objective – Ramiels’ analysis, creativity and open-mindedness aren’t the tools of some quest for ideology or emotional validation. Rather, it’s as though Ramiel is a conduit for the truths around them, so far as they can be expressed, and he is proud of this role as theoretical mediator.
  • Honest and Straightforward – To know one thing and say another would be terribly disingenuous – Ramiel doesn't often go around intentionally hurting feelings, but he believes that the truth is the most important factor, and he expects that to be appreciated and reciprocated.
Weaknesses:
  • Very Private and Withdrawn – Ramiels' intellectualism yields many insights into his surroundings, his surroundings are ironically considered an intrusion on his thoughts. This is especially true with people – Ramiel can be quite shy in social settings. More complicated situations such as parties exacerbate this, but even close friends struggle to get into Ramiels’ heart and mind.
  • Insensitive – Oftentimes he can get so caught up in his logic that he forgets any kind of emotional consideration – he dismisses subjectivity as irrational and tradition as an attempt to bar much-needed progress. Purely emotional situations are often utterly puzzling to Ramiel, and his lack of timely sympathy can easily offend.
  • Absent-minded – When his interest is captured, Ramiels absence goes beyond social matters to include the rest of the physical world. Ramiel becomes forgetful, missing even the obvious if it’s unrelated to his current infatuation, and he can even forget his own health, skipping meals and sleep as he muses.
  • Condescending – Attempts at connecting with others are often worse than Ramiels’ withdrawal. Ramiel takes pride in his knowledge and rationale, and enjoy sharing his ideas, but in trying to explain how he got from A to B to Z, he can get frustrated, sometimes simplifying things to the point of insult as he struggles to gauge his conversation partners’ perspective. The ultimate insult comes as Ramiel gives up with a dismissive “never mind”.
  • Loathe Rules and Guidelines – These social struggles are partly a product of Ramiels’ desire to bypass the rules, of social conduct and otherwise. While this attitude helps Ramiel strength of unconventional creativity, it also causes him to reinvent the wheel constantly and to shun security in favor of autonomy in ways that can compromise both.
