Khimera; Merchant Princes

Merchant Prince is a gender-free title unique for Khimera Kingdoms.
Granted for dozen richest merchants at time, this title ensures hight respect and recognition of personal skills for the holder.
Indeed a Merchant Prince, or more commonly, a person appointed by one as their substitute, holds a chair in the Assembly de Ivora; the ruling organisation of the Kingdoms, making up one third of Assmebly representatives.

Due to requirements of holding the position, some of the title holders only bear the honorific year or two before being replaced by someone more successful, while others bear it from the moment of granting to the day they die or retire. Its neither uncommon for a merchant to gain the title, lose it and regain it later as their influence raises again, or that of other's reduces.

The following list contains current Merchant princes in order of years of holding the title (shown as number after the name) from one to hold it longest to the newest supplement. The order does not relate to the magnitude of each Prince's wealth in any way.

Unhuman race; Kaolinean

Kaolinean (or Kaolinean people), are unhuman race mostly spread to the southeast parts of the Southern Talais. The race has few dosen of small, individual governments, that all have their own (albeit somewhat similar) cultures and habits.

The Unhuman race; Trivores

Trivores (singular; Trivora) are type of Kaolinean people.

They are born when one of the unhatched embryo attacks other two, devouring them to itself, creating one organism. The order of this invasion can result to three types of Trivora; Agro, Medium, or Pacifista.

During the time Kaolinean females used to lay their eggs to simple warm sand-bed, the birth of Trivora was quite common, yet somewhat frowned upon as it was seen as a result of carelessness of the parents, but with the more developed and controlled egg-lay beds, the Trivores have mostly vanished from the societies of Kaolinean people.
Few remain still though, as some Kaolinean refuses to use developed techniques, saying the result of hatching should be on the nature's hands only.
Also, few Kaolinean governments are reported to purposely allow the hatchings of Trivores to train the hatchlings as the private armies that are hired out for other countries as elite soldiers on wars.
As a result, most Trivores these days are soldiers, as in the times past they were  most likely criminals or vandals due their innate agressive tendencies.

These days, in most Kaolineas societies the parents are law-bound to report the hatching of trivora, in which case the hatchling is transfered to the government-funded nurture-and education institution.

Jariq

Name: Jariq
Gender: Male
Orientation: Doubting.
Birthday: Uncertain. In Engel month(?).
Eyes: Mud brown with yellow sun rings.
Hair: Brown like fallen leaves.

History: The reason behind creating the AlphaProject was, cruelly, nothing but a pride and curiousity of human alcemists who were wonderin how long they could go with controlled alchemic mutilation.
This led to a creation of AlphaProject.
The first mentionable result of the project was higlhy human-looking, but less so acting male, who later on started to call himself 'Jariq'.
He was (and still is) very much confused of his existence, not being sure if he ever was a human before the tests or if he was created all the way with alchemic mutilation.
Being this or that, he decided he didn't want to life the rest of his (unknown lenghted) life as a test specimen, so he escaped by setting the unit on fire, escapind with the aid of panic it arised.
Later, after wandering the world alone for a few years, he encountered kid that proved he hadn't been the only one of the test subjects.


Personality: Restless, carefree looking person who often seems to merge on things head-first, but who actually has long though plan ready for anything.
Likes: Cool wearher, warm clothes, having Miho around, having something to eat, warm and dry place to sleep.
Dislikes: Feeling that he's being avoiding just a shadows, feeling of paranoia, thinking he might be insane.

Miho

Eyes: Moss green with yellow sun circles.
Hair: Green-turquoise.

History: As well as AlphaProject, Miho too is result of controlled alchemic mutilation, the only one that survived the Jariq's escape, as he was developed in another unit.
The main reason of creating Miho, as far as he undertands it, was to get someone that could captive AlphaProject, but Miho himself wanted nothing more than meet up with the older, to get away from the industry.

Personality:  Miho is still very much a teen despite of being adult male. His mood swings rapidly between silent musing and spitfire.
He is very uncertain of how the humanity works (being part of entirely different race in his own mind), but relying mostly on Jariq's experience makes him feel uneasy, so he hides it behind snarky remarks.
Likes: Warm place to sleep, food, arriving into a new town, trawelling, fishing.
Dislikes: Hunger, feeling of paranoia, when he thinks Jariq doesn't take him seriously.
