Tamber Mose

Tamber Mose is a royal researcher of magic hailing from the country of Cantaras.

Life in Cantaras City
Born into the well-standing, noble Mose family in Cantaras City, Tamber seemed to have a strong interest in the magical artes from an early age. Even when other girls her age were learning domestic responsiblities and playing with dolls, Tamber spent her time reading various literature covering various ranges of magic such as lore, spells, and history. After spending so much time studying the texts, it was only natural that Tamber would want to begin to try and develop her skills as a magician. She seemed to be somewhat gifted at the art of Magic, but she was only capable of casting spells of certain elements, mainly ice, water, and wind. Having such strange interests and hobbies at such a young age, many children seemed to avoid Tamber thinking that she was some sort of witch or that there was something odd or wrong with her. Such things seemed to not bother Tamber in the slightest bit.

Regardless of Tamber's interests, her parents always encouraged her to do what made her happy and supported her 100% in all her endeavours. This may have something to do with the fact that Tamber was the sole child of the two, but regardless the bond between the family was rather strong. Her father, Edward Bryant Mose III, served as a high-ranking member of the Cantaran military. Her mother, Elizabeth Sastens Mose, was the daughter of another well off noble. One could easily say there were probably a model family among the nobility. However, it wouldn't be long before tragedy would strike. Shortly after Tamber's sixteenth birthday, her family was slain in a mysterious incident that the girl herself never seems to bring up in conversation. All she says is that both of them were slain when their estate was attacked by burglars.

After their deaths, Tamber seemed to shut herself off from most of the world and began to bury herself more and more into her studies. Her knowledge of magic and related materials began to increase so much, that she was eventually placed into a branch of research from within the castle, helping to head the development and knowledge of Magic from within the castle itself. Tamber was 19.

On the Road to Halicourt
Tamber joined the party's quest as they left Cantaras City for Halicourt. Although it isn't fully clear why as to why she chose to come along, for the most part it seems that the girl is using it as a chance to further develop her magical studies and to also see other lands outside of Cantaras. The group's first destination was to be the country of Halicourt. Along the way to Halicourt, the group was ambushed by bandits. Tamber herself did not contribute much to the battle. Instead, she seemed to take a spectator seat and keep a close watch of the battle to see if anyone had any interesting battle skills.

Shortly after the battle, the group decided to rest at an inn a little before they would arrive in Halicourt. During their stay, it appeared that Aric had just a little too much to drink and was giving Ceyla a run for her money in the art of dancing. Rather amused by the whole thing, Tamber decided to step in and give the girl a break. It was during their dance, that Tamber revealed that she was of nobility... and on the high end of that. Learning this, Aric seemed to suddenly change his behavior around the researcher. He claimed that in Halicourt, there was a proper level of respect and actions one must perform when dealing with a person who out-ranks them socially. Curious about this, Tamber questioned the man to learn more. During his explanation however, Rin chimed in and began to explain her distaste with the system. This sparked a political debate between the Aric and Rin, one that Tamber seemed to have no problem in riding both sides... Whether or not this was done to find out as much as she could about Halicourt or if she did it to simply "stir the pot" is unknown.

Halstead Rescue
Once the team had finally reached the town of Halstead, they were welcomed by a mob of peasants who seemed none too happy to see them. Apparently, they had taken over the town... much displeased with how things were being run by the nobles. The peasants attacked the group, but Tamber and the others were easily able to drive them off... However, the victory wasn't without a price. During the struggle, Lia was kidnapped by some of the peasants who had managed to sneak up on her and taken off to parts of the town that were unknown by the all the others. All seemed lost... until Rachel happened to appear.

As it turns out, the young archer knew that they had probably taken Lia to the Lord's Manor and was more than willing to lead the way to said building. Tamber was initially curious of how Rachel knew the way, but the archer revealed that Halstead was in fact her own town and she was not too pleased by the current state of things. Accepting the reason to be fair enough, Tamber followed the archer and the rest of the party towards the Lord's Manor. Along the way, she conversed with Sinclair about the possibilites of what could happen next... seeming a little too energetic given the current situation.

Upon arriving at the manor, the group split into three parts. Tamber explored the second floor of the manor, along with Nira, Zachary Britac, Rin Baypointe, Genevieve Lehbryte, Cameron Nightingale, and Kiris Horizt. For a majority of the time on the floor, Tamber seemed to keep talking of things among the spooky nature. She constantly mentioned that the manor may have been haunted, plagued by the spirit of the manor's lord and other ghosts who would focus on getting the chance to eat the souls of the party... much to Zack's and Genevieve's dismay. Much to the researcher's surprise, Lia was found on the floor her group was currently on, instead of the third floor has was originally expected. The group set up a plan to get Lia out of the room and to safety. Kiris, Cameron, Rin, and Tamber herself would storm the room Lia was being held in, while Zack, Nira, and Genevieve provided a distraction to give them the time they needed. The plan was quickly set into motion and worked rather successfully. Although the group's timing was a bit off(as made evident by Lia's wounds), Cameron and Kiris managed to get her out while Tamber and Rin dispatched of her captor, a con-artist named Trent Smithson. After the man's death, Tamber seemed to hesitate moving on, as if she wanted to examine the man's corpse for something. After some pleading from Genevieve and a joke in return which claimed the man was still alive, the researcher made her way to rejoin the others.

Unfortunately, the troubles weren't over from there. While the group on the second floor was busy saving Lia, the group on floor three was busy dispatching of enemies of another kind... the undead kind. Their battle against the zombies eventually lead down to the second floor where Tamber and her group were waiting, causing the two groups to rejoin together and fight them off enough to make their escape from the manor.

Upon finally escaping the house, the group fully reformed and returned to their caravan where Magus was waiting. He discussed the situation that had occurred with Grant and Nira, Tamber overhearing the mentions of summoning, magical symbols, and other such things. Tamber's curiosity seemed to be unusually peaked at this point and she immediately began to question the group's journalist about it. However, when the girl questioned Sinclair about it, he seemed to have limited knowledge about it. Tamber was unsure of whether he just didn't know much or if he was hiding something...

Arrival in Halicourt (Day 1) - Aylesbury
The group eventually arrived in the capital city of Aylesbury. They happened to arrive just in time to get a front row seat to a public execution. At first, Tamber had thought it was just some petty criminal or some foiled mastermind plotting against the throne. It was only when she questioned a seemingly distressed Aric, that the researcher learned that it was the execution of a respected noble Sir Stephen of Coniston, who had been branded a traitor to the king of Halicourt... as well as him being betrothed to Her Royal Highness, Avelyn of Aylesbury. The group recieved more warm welcomes upon arriving at the castle... when they were immediately pushed off to one of his personal inns, with the intent of keeping the group under observation. Upon arriving in the building, Magus and Grant made sure to warn the party about their actions from this point on. They needed to keep a low profile in order to make things go as smooth as possible for the next day. Tamber had decided to spend her time studying and working on her research.

Later during the night, the researcher decided to take a break and get some fresh air. Tamber spent some time wandering around the moonlit streets, thinking. Even when taking a break, the girl's mind seemed to wander back to her magic and studies. Suddenly, her train of thought was interrupted when she literally bumped into Aric who was in a mad dash towards the inn. Remembering how odd the man was acting earlier, how odd he was acting now, and noticing the rather large and bleeding bruise on the side of his cheek, Tamber put her magic-related thoughts aside and chased after the man. After finally managing to catch up to him, Tamber demanded to know just what was going on with Aric. Reluctantly, the knight gave a quick and rather brief explanation of what had happened to him during the night.

Apparently, Aric's brother was in town and the two had crossed paths earlier. While both of them were devoted to the Baron of Penrith, Aric's brother had chosen to swear his loyalty to the king instead. Tamber was not quite sure what this meant, but she could only assume that it had something to do with the growing revolts among the classes of Halicourt that Aric and Rin had discussed with her earlier. Aric and his brother had had a disagreement about where their loyalties should lie, and the knight's brother had struck him during the debate. To make things worse, the scene was witnessed in public. Aric determined that this could be quite problematic for the group at this point, and decided that he would do best to take his leave from the group. Tamber was still confused about it all, and tried her best to stop Aric, but the man still left regardless. He rode off into the night, leaving a confused Tamber behind. All she could do was wonder what had really been going on with him, what he was going to do, and what this would mean for the rest of the group...

Physical Appearance
Tamber stands slightly taller than most girls as she reaches an average height of 5'9", give or take an inch. The girl has a rather curvy build, one that seems to have no trouble pleasing men and has even been known to make some women jealous. She has deep, blue eyes which resemble sapphires. She keeps her rich, chocolate-brown hair short for the most part, only going down to just at her shoulders. However, in counter to this she has let the front bangs grow out a little more than one might expect, as her left eye is constantly and completely covered by her hair. Tamber has a rather fair skin complexion, it is neither too dark or too pale.

In terms of clothing, Tamber seems to have no problem showing off her body. That said, she still does try to present some form of modesty. The girl is usually most comfortable in dresses. They usually seem to hug the girl's figure rather closely from the top, while opening up a bit as the fabric descends to allow enough mobility to not be any trouble to the girl. She usually keeps a pair of thigh-length, black leather boots on her feet. One constant to her attire however, is a gold pendant worn around the girl's neck. It is held in place by a simple, black string, which makes it resemble a rather make-shift necklace in the eyes of some people. Regardless, Tamber seems to promptly refuse ever taking the object off.

Personality and Traits
When it comes to personality, Tamber seems to be rather upbeat and happy for the most part. She tends to smile a bit more than others do and joke a bit more as well, even when a situation is getting as bad as it could possibly be. The girl is also very inquisitive, making sure to ask as many questions as she possibly can in the event that she is about to experience or venture in to anything new and unusual to her. Tamber has a habit to sometimes let her mind wander off into random thoughts or musings, sometimes even slipping up and expressing out loud what she is thinking about at the moment. Because of this, it is quite easy to consider the young researcher slightly odd, or maybe even thoughtless at depending on how far or where the musing ends up. Regardless, Tamber means well and usually wouldn't try to hurt anyone's feelings on purpose. Although her patterns may sometimes betray it, Tamber is in fact quite intelligent as one might expect from reaching the status of a royal researcher from such a young age. However, Tamber never really seems to brag about this aspect.

Combat Style
Tamber is not one that is gifted with physical strength. However, at the same time the girl can't help, but try to get close to the action. Because of this, Tamber made her weapon of choice the whip. It allows the researcher to keep a safe distance away from her enemies, but not too far from the action either. Tamber's true strength rests in her magic abilities. The girl is quite gifted in spell-craft, particularly in the elements of ice, water and wind. She has been said to have the abilites to blow enemies away, cut at them with fierce blades of wind, freeze them in their tracks, shoot projectiles of ice, and even force them to do the ground under a heavy torrent of water. At this point, it is unsure just how strong Tamber's magic truly is.

Family

 * Edward Bryant III: It isn't fully sure how strong of a relationship Tamber had with her father. He was a strong, kind, caring figure that seemed ready to support his daughter in any of the decisions she decided to make. It can probably be said that the two were very close.


 * Elizabeth Sastens: Tamber was very close to her mother as a child. The girl spent as much time as she could with her as a child, the woman even occasionally helping Tamber out with her studies. It is wondered if perhaps the closeness of the two is partially responsible for Tamber not having many friends when growing up.

Allies

 * Amos Sinclair: Tamber and Sinclair haven't really spoken much, but the journalist is quite interesting to watch. Like one would expect, he paints a very vivid picture with words... He seems to provide Tamber with some interesting musings...


 * Aric Marshall: One of the first members of the group that Tamber spent a lot of time talking to. The two even went as far as to share a dance when Aric was a tad bit drunk. He proved to be a good source of information, supporting Tamber with details of the rituals of the nobles in Halicourt, as well as more details of the social rift within the country. Upon the group's arrival to Aylesbury, the man had started to act rather odd. This prompted Tamber to try and discover what was bothering the man, but before she could get much information he rode off into the night. It is assumed that the two could have somewhat of a friendship growing between them, but where the relationship will go from here is unknown.


 * Cameron Nightingale: One of Tamber's teammates when exploring the second floor of the Lord's Manor at Halstead. She has no real strong opinion of him yet.


 * Genevieve Lehbryte: The two have not spoken much. Since they have truly only been side by side for a short time during the mission to rescue Lia, Tamber hasn't really formed a detailed opinion of the girl. She immediately shot down Tamber's theory that the Lord's Manor was haunted, though it was hard to say whether or not the researcher was being serious.


 * Kiris Horizt: One of Tamber's teammates when exploring the second floor of the Lord's Manor at Halstead. She wandered off mysteriously for a bit, though Tamber saw no real need to draw attention to it. Tamber has yet to form a real strong opinion of her yet, but sneaky does tend to come to mind when thinking of her


 * Magus Whitewind: It is unsure of what the relation between Tamber and Magus is. All that is known is that she seems to have great respect for him, constantly calling the man "Master" Magus.


 * Nira: One of Tamber's teammates when exploring the second floor of the Lord's Manor at Halstead. She has no real strong opinion of her yet.


 * Rin Baypointe: Another good source of information. She too shared a lot of information about the situation within Halicourt, but from a point of view much different than that of Aric. The two teamed up in dispatching a con artist who had managed to throw the entire city of Halstead into chaos. Perhaps the two may make decent battle partners.


 * Zachary Bitrac: Tamber has mixed feelings about Zack. While she doesn't know him too well just yet, he came on a bit strong. His introduction seemed to be very concieted, and slightly put the researcher off. When Zack insisted that Tamber call him Zack, she continued to refer to him by his full first name.

Behind-the-Scenes

 * Tamber Mose is role-played by Albel4t5.


 * In her original draft, Tamber was planned to have a somewhat southern style accent. I ended up dropping it before her first appearance.
