Titles Erised Eveningsong, Spring Sovereign of New York City, Penderwydd of New England, Scholar of the Sight, Priest of Verdant Renewal
Mask:A tall figure with broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist. With a hair color not unlike a darkly spun gold; his eyes always strike through to whom he's looking at with their piercing hazel shade. With refined features; he appears to be the cross of Nordic and Greek ancestry.
Mien: Behind the mask, Erised's frame and features take on a more eldritch tone, while his hazel eyes seemingly glow with a fire within. Perhaps the most striking is the way that light seems to gravitate towards him, wreathing him in a faint ethereal light. Most find themselves following him with their eyes; so captivating is his presence. His mantle reflects his strong connection to the ideals of the spring court. When he lingers; an area seems to become more lifelike, hearts beat a little faster in the company of Erised. Often, it seems as though the clean scent of morning mist hangs upon him unlike any cologne ever made.

Synthetic Saints
Ae Lament Careful friend, lest you become the latest to cry out a lament.
Edria Meredith One day, I hope to know her as I should; for now I fear, we only mystify one another.
Elizabeth Ann Sexton She knows not yet her place in the tapestry; and those of us who suspect are overcome by hope and horror. But will she be allowed to be a child, to be as she must be before she is called to her destiny?
Candy As a kid, did you ever eat so many sweets you wondered if it was worth all the pain? If you answered yes; you know Candy. If not; your a loser.
Darling She came in looking like one of those hollow eyed starving wanna-be stars you see hanging out around Times Square. I think all she really wanted was a cup of coffee; but by the time she left Reverie in the Fall; she looked healthy again. With a smile on her face, and glow in her cheeks, she went on. Look at her now, an Inn of her own...that's why I do what I do.
Gaius Arctorus His eyes are nearly open; and when they come fully wide; then we shall see where he will lead his motley of savages and brutes.
Green Man Do not seek to define him, he is beyond such things; but walk besides him down the Path; and you will know no better companion.
Merlin Do not be surprised when he appears at your elbow; for his insight. Insight rarely comes when you wish it; but nearly always when you need it most. That is Merlin.
Miracle Milly A twinkle of laughter in her eye, and a smirk on her lips is how I will remember my dear aunt, my mentor. Truly, one sassy broad.
Molly Moonglow Molly? She's like rum cake. She packs a punch for certain; her parts can be rough as sandpaper, but down deep? Sweet as sugar.
Myo I doubt there is anything at all that puts her ill at ease. Save undue cruelty and injustice.
Nemo A better man than he pretends to be, Nemo feels fairer and looks fouler... but he works in a world that is useful to brush up against once in a while, and cares a good deal about helping his brethren. Now if he'd cut the tough guy routine...
[No]thing Have you ever found yourself walking home, and you feel eyes on you but when you spin around to confront them, there is only air? Ever wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat for no reason? [No]thing is there...
Penelope Mal Watch out for Penny; while I will take your barbs and japes in good measure, she may take a pound of flesh in equal measure."
Pierce In the past eleven years, I've taken on alot; Pierce is there as my lover, my best friend, and the man to see that I take my own advice sometimes.
die Rattenkonigin Believe it or don't she has the patience of a saint; for dealing with me and my sisters as she does...
Rook I know without doubt that so long as he drops into Reverie; me and mine are safe. I know without doubt that should corruption ever find seat beneath my eaves, me and mine are lost.
Saga A hard man, but a damn good man.
Tanith I rest easier knowing that she leads the Praesidium in the North East.
Varyn As surly as any sailor; my faerie twin gets what others don't, sees what others can't, and speaks when others won't.
Avalon (Organizations)
Order of The Isle - Together in faith do we serve
Apple Clinics - Everyone needs to do their part when the chips are down; and I'm happy to help out with the docs anyway I can.
Reverie - Its not just my home. Its home to those in need of a laugh, a place to eat, a place to heal or a place to stay. Its the sanctuary of everyone whose Lost but wants to be Found.
The Innkeepers - A strange lot we are; drug clinics, shelters, restaurants, pawn shops and boutiques. But at the heart of each are changelings who risk their own security and safety and open their doors and hearts to those who need a place to stay, a place to learn, a place heal. A bizzare collection that I am only too happy to be apart of.
Never Again - What they do must be done, but that doesn't mean I want details.
The Praesidium - It has saddened me to learn that this legion who claims to uphold honor and chivalry, accepts prejudice and ignorance instead.

- "Seems cute and only moderately clever naming schemes run in the family. Like everything else blood runs true. He's my brother, he's Lost and he's a Monarch. What the fuck else do you need to know?" - Ae Lament
- "Never underestimate a pretty face, it cost more than you think."
- "Wot, Erised? 'E is one a dem kids wot picks yeh up in a pub and takes yeh 'ome (teh yer 'ome) and then 'e eats yeh food and drinks yeh beer and makes pretty eyes at yeh and tells yeh ta get 'im Chardonnay when yeh get home. Only way I ever get 'im outta my 'ouse is ta tell 'im I don't drink that fancy-schmancy shite. It's beer or it's nuthin. Then 'e stays for the beer. Good kid, that. -- Varyn Cumberland
- "He went away a boy, came back and has become a man." - die Rattenkonigin
- "There is power in my brother's eyes that I do not always understand. But then, he does not always understand the power in mine either. We are two sides of one coin." - Edria Meredith
- "He has a responsibility, and lays heavy on him. He wasn't quite ready for it when he got it, but he grew into it. And now he's a good King, one Milly would have been proud of. But don't tell him I said that." - Molly Moonglow
- "You do not touch what is mine. Seraphim would be my King were I Spring. But I am not. Harm him, die in my jaws." - Penelope Mal
- "He's the first dew of Spring when the frost fades, beautifully stunning from the sun's morning light, but still icy to the touch. You may respect the King, but you can't help but love the man." - Candy
- "He helped me find a purpose beyond just surviving. How do you thank someone who shows you how to live instead of survive? I just wish he were a bit more fond of clothes. Even those of the Antler Crown can catch cold. I'm sending another scarf for Christmas." -Laurel
- "When I watch him now I look for some trace of the little brother I knew and I see none. Our durances are always hard and I've no idea what his took from him, but there are times I wonder if I know him at all and while I love him, I am not certain I know him or always trust him with that glittering smile. So many people, so many dances, so many turns around the floor that he is dazzling and dizzying to watch." - Edria Meredith
- "It's so easy to underestimate Erised, but that's because most people lack subtlety. Erised's gift is that his mind is quicker than most of the people he meets. I'm proud to call him my mentor in the Innkeepers' Guild." - Bandabras Pelinor
Notes On A Scandal
- Erised doesn't follow anything like "standard medical protocols", its more like evangelistic laying of hands; without the paeans and cameras.
- Erised is a Day Breaker through and through; for all his reserved and courtly ways; he can drink and trick as good as the rest.
- Erised was involved a coup de tat against the former Winter Monarch of NYC
- Erised is actually chaste; saving himself for some forgotten lover
- Erised is a wanton whore who sells himself to the highest and hottest bidder.
- Erised is quietly a sympathizer with more radical Winter Ideals...
