A Taste of Autumn ...
THESE CHARACTERS ARE NOT YET SANCTIONED FOR PLAY - CONCEPTS IN RESERVE
Alias(es): Ooky and Spooky, Night and Shadow, Left and Right, or simply "Them"
Real Name: Stavros and Semele Megalospyropoulos
Location: Athens, Greece
Age: It's difficult to accurately determine Their age. Some guess around 60 or 70, some say younger but that Their time in Arcadia was very hard.
Seeming: Darkling
Kith: Unknown
Court: Autumn
Entitlement:
Concept: Hunters
Physical description: They are so similar as to be identical, sufficiently androgynous that either could be male or female.
Mask: Tall and thin, around 6'. Despite pale wrinkle-free skin, They seem to be in their middle to later years, Their long neat dark auburn hair greying at the temples, often pulled back. Faces and hands slightly elongated, though not unnaturally so. Eyes dark, and sharp, with plenty of intelligence left, lips often curled in a closed smile.
Mein: They are very tall, though always stooped in posture. Thin as a near death anorexic, They have long and lanky arms and legs, long fine hands and fingers, slender heart shaped faces. Their skin is sallow, almost transparent, pulled taught over bones, with veins and arteries clearly visible below, shadows where organs rest. Deep set black eyes reflect a dull metallic sheen in the light, pointed ears protrude through very long, ratty hair the colour of autumn leaf litter. Small mouths, with red lips that show fangs when They display a rare smile, are perhaps the only other colour about them.
Relevant Mechanics: Although the twins speak Greek, among other languages, They seem to have a language native to themselves.

Under October Skies ...
What the Wind knows ...
Basic Timeline:
- 21 September 1988 - born
- 31 October 1996 - 8yo - abducted
- 63 years in arcadia (their Durance falling into three basic 'phases') ... 1) captives of the wyld hunt, learning their trade, 2) with Shamshiel, hunting 'on leash' and 3) as free Hunters working for The Troika
- 2 November 2004 - Exited the Hedge into Fresno, CA, while chasing an escapee, decided to stay.
- September 2005 - Arrived back in Athens, Greece, to discover their parents dead and the world has moved forward not even a full decade.
Current Activities:
Operating a kebab stand, in a tiny shop front opposite one of the main tourist parks in Athens, where they dispense food and tell tales to to street kids that would curdle fresh milk.
Merit Details:
Background:
A work in progress ... Taken as children by a wyld hunt, They ran with the hunt for a time, learning Their craft, eventually finding Themselves the property of one of the Others. Sent after escaping Changelings, the twins were rewarded for those They brought back. Sometimes that reward was simply to be left alone for a time, sometimes it was fantastical treasures, sometimes it was torture or deprivation. When They failed, They were punished. Punishment usually meant separation, though sometimes it would be hardship worse than any reward. Eventually, They escaped themselves, more than half a century after Their original capture, to discover less than one decade had passed in Their absence.
Since escaping, They've made a tentative place in the world for Themselves, working out of a mobile kebab booth, where They deal out the garlic mayo with long thin spoons made of changeling bones.
Those who know Them ...
Looking for links with:
- those we may have hunted, either to bring to Arcadia, or as they escaped from Arcadia.
- those we may have escaped with ourselves.
- other hunters and/or hounds.
- those who patrol the Hedge, helping Changelings escape, who may have gotten in our way, been responsible for our failure, or even helped us when the time came.
Motley
They are very self reliant, never apart. No motley as yet has formed around Them, and They have not chosen to seek one out. Yet.
Allies
Enemies
Many. Anyone They hunted and brought back is sure to have memories of Them, and grudges.
Keeper
Like her twin, Aftiel, Shamshiel is an embodiment of the contradiction and unity. This dark Fae rules from a Kingdom of Dawn; a place where truth is lie, and nightmares hover on the edge of sleep. She is tall and thin and pale and clothed in shadow. Something that is only seen on the edge of your vision, never face on. Something that's felt, sensed, perhaps heard, but not truly seen. Face on would be a nightmare too horrible to imagine, the fear that lies in the nightmares just before dawn, the horrors that walk beneath the harvest moon, the terror that is nothingness. Few have ever looked her in the face and survived, a shadow on a wall, a whisper in the air. She is capricious, maleficient, vain, magnificent.
Rustlings in the Leaves ...
As said by Them:
"When the moon rises..." "...we will be hunting..." "...for you."
While holding a long pale spoon ... "Would you like..." "...some mayonnaise on that?"
As said by Others:
Whispers on the Wind
- They've always been twins, but were They always so alike or did They become so in Arcadia?
- They were hunters in Arcadia, responsible for bringing escaped Changelings back to their Keepers.
- Their kebab stand is some sort of tardis, larger inside than outside.
- They didn't escape Arcadia, so much as fall out of the Hedge one day while chasing an escapee. Always wise to an opportunity, They chose to remain out in the real world, and abandon Their Keeper and their duties.
- That They were hunters is all a lie They tell to sound scary. They spent Their durance caring for Their Keeper's horses.
