Akiyara is a stunningly lovely woman, a delicate wisp of an Air Aspect, slender and fragile with long, shining straight blonde hair softly wind-whipped, stray tendrils curling idly about high-set cheekbones and wide blue-grey eyes that quite literally shift with moods and expenditure of Essence. Her skin is a pearlescent blue-white, always cool to the touch. She speaks in a soft voice that carries its own weight, and almost seems to drift from place to place rather than walk. Like her Mother, her compassion and gentle nature are both boundless. She usually garbs herself in light blues and flowing whites, robes and sashes fluttering with her perpetual anima.

Mr. Locke is a tall and thin man, wearing rather average clothing of excellent quality.  His tight clothing resembles a physician in London during the late 1800s, with cuffs and leather.  His green eyes seem to shift colors if you stare at him too long, almost like the poison he spends so much time around. His black hair is always clean, as well as his carefully cleaned skin. He looks quite handsome, though he seems to have an almost...greasy tint to him. While perfectly clean, he seems to look oily, as if he had spent so much time around his precious poisons that it's ingrained into his very being, dripping from his pores to give him a very deadly look.

Akiyara, or the Whisper of Gaia's Bounty as she sometimes calls herself, was once a Dynast, narrowsighted and complacent in her superiority and as sadly misguided as the rest of the Host. A scholar and savant of the Rings of Ledaal Catala, Akiyara had a fervent interest in the mysteries of the First Age.

When Hemingway was a young boy, he was always very sickly.  Always too thin, too pale, and never in good health or mood. All he had to keep himself busy were his books, which he read for hours on end.  Around age 10, he realized that he would one day need to make a living, and because of his health it would never be anything that required a lot of physical activity. So, he decided to become a doctor.  The books he read were quickly replaced with medical texts and thaumaturgical theories.  He borrowed these books from the town's doctor, who would sometimes let the young boy sit in on visits, and even aid him in a single surgery. It wasn't until a very specific patient came in that he found his true calling in life.

During a study of some books she'd found at an excavated Dragon King manse in the far East Akiyara stumbled upon a name she had never seen before: Gaia, an obscure reference in a scroll from what was thought to be a temple. It was only an inkling, a tantalizing flash of enlightenment, but she latched onto it when she read Gaia's purpose: Mother of Creation. Surely this was a reference to the Dragons themselves, she thought?
+
The patient had accidentally ingested several Deadly Nightshade berries.  His eyes were dazed and confused, his pupils dilated.  His arms were thrashing at demons that weren't there.  He could barely move from the table they had laid him on. This was something Locke had never seen before.  This wasn't some broken bone to set, or a cut to sew up, or a boil to lance.  There were no physical remedies for this. This injury...was affecting the man's very soul. The only way to stop it was with another liquid...another mystical elixir of nature.  The patient was soon cured, but Locke was obsessed with poisons from that day forward.

Further perusal of both these books and the Immaculate Texts led her to believe that Gaia was in fact an avatar of the Immaculate Dragon Mela. To that end she began to use the names interchangeably in her prayers, still seeking more information, more references. It was a restless hunger that no amount of knowledge could satisfy...

...and then, one winter in the dead of night, she no longer had to seek that for which she hungered. Gaia found her.

Gentle and compassionate, endlessly patient, Akiyara is full of the light and love of her Mother and wishes only to share it with as many people as possible. Especially her Dragon-Blooded brethren, for were they not Gaia's original Souls?

Mr. Locke...is an extremely intelligent man.  Looking into his eyes can tell you that.  He has incredible knowledge on his specialty, and he knows it.  His word is sweet, but always laced with a hint of danger.  He's a man you'd be happy to have a conversation with, though never for too long.  He is quite reliable when given a task, and if you're an ally of his, you'll never need to worry about what he might do. It's those that have made themselves his enemy that should worry...

Gaia's enlightenment has also bestowed a certain gift of prophecy upon the Whisper of Her Bounty. Though not a clear and logical insight into the workings of fate as Creation knows it (as she is not a Sidereal and does not have that ability), she can predict some events with a certain amount of accuracy.

Mr. Locke is a master of the Art of Alchemy, capable of creating any potion known in Creation.  And while quite beneficial, that is not his main focus.  He has an almost morbid fascination with poison in all its forms.  If there's a poison, he'll know what it is, what it looks like, how it affects the body, and how to treat it.

Her Virtue Flaw manifests itself as an inability to deal with the suffering of her Mother's children, and so Akiyara in Limit Break is overcome with their pain, unable to act for her heartbroken sobbing at the suffering around her.

[edit] Appearance

Mr. Locke is a tall and thin man, wearing rather average clothing of excellent quality. His tight clothing resembles a physician in London during the late 1800s, with cuffs and leather. His green eyes seem to shift colors if you stare at him too long, almost like the poison he spends so much time around. His black hair is always clean, as well as his carefully cleaned skin. He looks quite handsome, though he seems to have an almost...greasy tint to him. While perfectly clean, he seems to look oily, as if he had spent so much time around his precious poisons that it's ingrained into his very being, dripping from his pores to give him a very deadly look.

[edit] History

When Hemingway was a young boy, he was always very sickly. Always too thin, too pale, and never in good health or mood. All he had to keep himself busy were his books, which he read for hours on end. Around age 10, he realized that he would one day need to make a living, and because of his health it would never be anything that required a lot of physical activity. So, he decided to become a doctor. The books he read were quickly replaced with medical texts and thaumaturgical theories. He borrowed these books from the town's doctor, who would sometimes let the young boy sit in on visits, and even aid him in a single surgery. It wasn't until a very specific patient came in that he found his true calling in life.

The patient had accidentally ingested several Deadly Nightshade berries. His eyes were dazed and confused, his pupils dilated. His arms were thrashing at demons that weren't there. He could barely move from the table they had laid him on. This was something Locke had never seen before. This wasn't some broken bone to set, or a cut to sew up, or a boil to lance. There were no physical remedies for this. This injury...was affecting the man's very soul. The only way to stop it was with another liquid...another mystical elixir of nature. The patient was soon cured, but Locke was obsessed with poisons from that day forward.

He is quite reliable when given a task, and if you're an ally of his, you'll never need to worry about what he might do. It's those that have made themselves his enemy that should worry...

Mr. Locke is a master of the Art of Alchemy, capable of creating any potion known in Creation. And while quite beneficial, that is not his main focus. He has an almost morbid fascination with poison in all its forms. If there's a poison, he'll know what it is, what it looks like, how it affects the body, and how to treat it.
