Ishard lives in the world of theoretical possibilities. He sees everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. He lives primarily inside his own mind, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. He seeks clarity in everything, and is therefore driven to build knowledge. He is so strongly driven to turn problems into logical explanations, that he may not place as much importance or value on the external world. His natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding may turn into a feeling of personal responsibility to solve theoretical problems, and help society move towards a higher understanding.
Ishard values knowledge above all else. His mind is constantly working to generate new theories, or to prove or disprove existing theories. He approaches problems and theories with enthusiasm and skepticism, ignoring existing rules and opinions and defining his own approach to the resolution. He seeks patterns and logical explanations for anything that interests him. He loves new ideas, and becomes very excited over abstractions and theories. He also loves to discuss these concepts with others. He may seem "dreamy" and distant to others, because he spends a lot of time inside his head musing over theories. He hates to work on routine things - and would much prefer to build complex theoretical solutions, and leave the implementation of the system to others. He is intensely interested in theory, and will put forth tremendous amounts of time and energy into finding a solution to a problem with has piqued his interest.
Ishard does not like to lead or control people. He is very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of his firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged, in which case he takes a very rigid stance. He is likely to be very shy when it comes to meeting new people. On the other hand, Ishard is very self-confident and gregarious around people he knows well, or when discussing theories which the fully understands.
Ishard has no understanding or value for decisions made on the basis of personal subjectivity or feelings. He strives constantly to achieve logical conclusions to problems, and doesn't understand the importance or relevance of applying subjective emotional considerations to decisions. For this reason, he is usually not in-tune with how people are feeling, and are not naturally equipped to meet the emotional needs of others. Ishard may have a problem with self-aggrandizement and social rebellion, which will interfere with his creative potential. Since his Feeling side is his least developed trait, he may have difficulty giving the warmth and support that is sometimes necessary in intimate relationships. He usally can, however, realize the value of attending to other people's feelings.
For Ishard, it is extremely important that ideas and facts are expressed correctly and succinctly. He is likely to express himself in what he believes to be absolute truths. Sometimes, his well thought-out understanding of an idea is not easily understandable by others, but he is not naturally likely to tailor the truth so as to explain it in an understandable way to others. However, this is a rare occurrence in his experience. In the end, an amazing discovery means nothing if you are the only person who understands it. Above all else, his sister and his father are the most important things in his life. And while, he and his sister share many quirks and behaviors, he's always been considered as the more approachable one and even enjoys social interaction to a certain extent. Both have large and helpful, while being slightly clueless, hearts.

FEARS:
Losing his sister or Father
They've been together for so long, he's not sure how he would survive. His sister shares half of his soul.
A Problem With no Answer
Maybe it's a coping mechanism, but everything to Ishard has a rhyme and reason and answer to it. He's not sure how he would feel if he couldn't rationalize even the simplest of answers to a problem.
Claustrophobia
Thanks to a rather lengthy game of hide and seek in his early years, he gets rather uncomfortable in tight or dark spaces, and it only gets worse over time.

GENERAL APPEARANCE
Ishard is quite tall and muscular, as cliche as it seems. His father was built that way and he's always had a love for physical fitness. His hair is the same black as his sister's, but would more than likely be straight rather than wavy if he ever let it grow. He tends to take after his father in the looks department, along with his jade green eyes. As for tattoos and piercing, he has none. In his culture, men and women do not adorn themselves with ink unless they prove their bravery in battle or through their honor. He's confident his day will come, and on that day his father will allow him to show his honor through his skin, his sister as well if she decides to. He does have one large scar on his right side from a rogue weed eater when he was a child. Rarely is he seen without someform of facial hair since he abhors shaving. He just keeps his whiskers nice and trim.

RELATIONSHIP WITH GODLY PARENT:
After having such a full life under the parentage of his father, Ishard could never bring himself to be truly angry with his mother. He was never lacking in love or support. Neither of the twins were. Since, learning not only what his mother was and what exactly that made him and his sister, his perception of her changed drastically. She was a goddess, and she cared enough to see that they had the best father in the world. He was grateful for that and the rare occasions when they saw her.

BIOGRAPHY:
Randal Harkin is a musician and doting father. He would tell the twins of how him and their mother met no matter how often they asked. They would snuggle up in bed, often sharing one when they were younger despite having one of their own, and stare wide-eyed as his deep and ever-eloquent voice told the tale:
"The band and I had just finished our tour in the northern states, we had just finished doing inventory on all of our equipment when someone suggested we go to the local bar before we set out in the morning, to celebrate. Well, when we got there, there were several people that attended the show earlier that day there who were very excited to see us. All I can really remember about the place was that it wasn't very large and I was quite tired after exerting myself on stage. I decided to just sit for a while and sip a beer or two before leaving, just to make sure I kept some sort of appearance. I remember several ladies passing my way, but I had a strange feeling that night and none of them seemed as beautiful to me as they should have. I finished my beer and said goodbye to my mates, earning many groans about one more beer, and walked back to the bus. I had celebrated enough for one day.
It was March at that time, but we were still in the north and a blizzard had been terrorizing this particular region on and off for quite sometime. Well unfortunately for me, the bus was still quite a walk from the bar and the wind started blowing very hard, picking up the snow and swirling it in front of me and at my face. Coupled with the dark and now being nearly blinded by snow I was very soon lost and A leather jacket is fine for being out in the cold briefly, but despite my size I was becoming cold very rapidly"
"But mama saved you!" Isolde would always shout,
"Pipe down!" Ishard would nudge her.
Randal would only chuckle and nod his head, "Yes anhollo, she did. I had no idea how long I had been wandering, but the cold was becoming to much. I sat in the snow and pulled my now useless jacket tight, attempting to keep any warmth in. I could feel myself growing very tired and my hands and feet stung an I grew sad, because I knew this might be the end. Then, suddenly, I saw feet in front of me, wearing leather boots and black pants. As I gazed up I saw one of the most beautiful women I had eve seen. She had very sharp features, but there was no doubt of her obvious beauty and for a long time, I forgot completely about the cold. Her short white hair and bright blue eyes were all I could feel.", Isolde always sighed dreamily at this part while Ishard rolled his eyes," She extended her hand and I placed it in mine, and suddenly there was no more cold, I'd never felt so warm and comfortable in my entire life. I stood to my full height, but I was only tall enough to see just over her head. She was the tallest woman I'd ever seen and was even more beautiful up close. I looked down at her clothing, becoming horrified at the fact that she had even less on than I, Only wearing pants, boots, and a white T-shirt. I quickly Threw off my jacket and placed it on her shoulders, pulling it tight. I'd never behaved more like a school boy in my entire life. She only smiled up to me and chuckled.
'I chose you.', she said while grabbing my hand again and began to pull me deeper into the storm. I didn't know what she meant or where she was taking me, but I would follow her anywhere."
"What happened then anki?"
"We spent a very short time together. She told me many stories and we shared many things during that time, but she could not stay. She only told me that there was only one way for us to be together and that I would see in time. For months I walked around, living a half life, unable to imagine life without her. Then, the next year, on the anniversary of our meeting. She came to me again. I had no idea how she found me, since the band was on hiatus and I returned here to the reservation. At the time though, I couldn't care. It's as if the entire year never happened. I don't think I'd ever been so drawn to one person in my entire life. She looked up at me with a bright smile and placed her cool, pale hand on my rough, tan cheek," as he said this Isolde placed her little chubby hand on his cheek and he closed his eyes, fighting back the onslaught of emotions under her equally cool touch, "She said, 'There is much I must tell you, but first, you must meet our children.'I know I must have looked like a fool, standing there staring into her eyes after she just told me I was a father, blissfully unaware of what she had said. It slowly hit me what she had said, and I remember the shock I felt at those words. I never thought about being a father, I never even thought of settling down with someone or marrying, but she turned and walked out of the room and quickly returned with two small bundles in her arms. She brought them up to me and I don't remember seeing anything more beautiful than those tiny pink babies in her arms," he stopped briefly to run his fingers through the twins hair, both of them lightly snoring having been lulled to sleep by his voice. He continued, "And she said 'Their names are Ishard and Isolde. They were born 2 months ago on January fifth and bear your name, Randal. They are yours to keep, so that I may always be with you."
I told her I didn't understand, that none of this made sense, and she began to tell me the truth about the day we met, about how she found the handsome stranger in her blizzard and loved him for his generosity and heart. How she chose him to father her new Demi-Gods and what exactly she was. On some level I think I always knew she was different, that there was something other worldly about her, but this was something I never could have predicted. She placed both of you in my arms and kissed my cheek. She seemed as if she would turn away but I stopped her quickly. 'Will I ever see you again?' I couldn't deny the foreign tears that misted my eyes as she turned back around to smile at me. She walked back and kissed me lightly on the lips and said, "You shall see me everyday." Then, as if by magic, she was gone, like a crisp gust of wind in the winter. For a long time I could only stand there and mourn. I had fallen in love with her in such a short period of time, and I knew I would more than likely never see her again. But as soon as I looked down into your eyes. One set, green and proud like mine, and one and icy blue that I would never forget, My heart filled to the brim with more love than I thought ever possible."
Randal looked silently at the darkened window, to the snowfall outside and quietly thanked Khione for their precious gifts. He kissed both his birthday boy and girl on the head and closed the door softly, leaving it cracked only slightly, to let the light in. He knew she was there outside the window, watching over them, and that was enough for him.

FAVORITE POWER:
The ability to turn people into ice You could say he was somewhat of a prankster in his younger days. He especially enjoyed watching that tiny vein tick in his fathers forehead after he froze yet another tutor.

MISCELLANEOUS:
❈ Isolde and Ishard share a black wolf named Nashoba

❈Both twins speak their native language as well as French and Spanish.
❈Ishard is profficient in combat as well as hunting, but enjoys spending his time tinkering with electronics.

{Morning:First Day}

┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Water splashed at the window of the tuned BMW E30 as it sped through the Grecian streets. It's passengers sat in a comfortable silence at the familiar roads that lead to the all too familiar school. At this point, neither sibling cared just how late they were to the same lecture, same orientation, and the same material they'd been getting for going on four years now. Most of the knowledge they gained pertaining to things outside the realm of the immortal or supernatural was gained by their own inquiry. However, both looked at each other from time to time, sharing the same look of a slightly uncomfortable sense. This year somehow felt different. They remember how strange their mother acted last time they saw her, as fleeting as she was. There was a sense of urgency to her that had never been there. Everything in the world waited for a goddess and a goddess never hurries, but something seemed to drive her throughout their meaning. Something that was not lost on her two perceptive children, especially Ishard. Ishard perceived the environment and Isolde made the judgement call, that is how it's always been. In this instance, neither felt as if there was anything to perceive or judge and that made them nervous. A problem with no solution in sight was dangerous not only to them but for the people around them. Those problems swiftly turn to trouble.
Ishard thought happily about their summer with their father and family. He could still hear the drums and smell the bon fire. He looked to his sister, lost to her own world as usual and grew almost sad. While they shared so many behaviors, especially their intellect and how they interact with most people from day to day, he was still open to intimacy. He had even had his share of relationships during his time at Aeonis, some he still holds as friendships. To him it felt like his sister would never know peace, or what it felts like to be truly cared for by another person because she was too cold or afraid to be vulnerable. Apart of him wanted to hit her with the logistics. It made no sense in the grand scheme of things to allow something a petty as fear keep you from happiness, but he knew it was futile. Everyone has their own logic and Isolde, could pull logic out of a panicking schizophrenic. He could hear her now, "I'm perfectly happy with the way things are at this very moment. I have no need of the eventual heartbreak that non-familial love will eventually bring. I don't have time to 'find the right person' or to 'date around'. It's never in anyone's best interest to fall in love and I would be throwing out every ounce of self preservation I had to seek such a thing out."
If he could roll his eyes anymore than he already had, he would be learning more about his own anatomy than he ever cared to. Ishard looked over at her in the passenger seat where Nashoba had his head on her shoulder, his large tail constantly [i]thwacking
on the seat and made a slight smile with a mischievous undertone.
"If I don't choke you out of frustration by the end of the year, I will see you at least bat your eyes at someone sister. He continued to smile as he drove, imperceptibly speeding up towards their goal, The Aeonis School.
Isolde absentmindedly stroked the thick and glossy fur of their wolf pet, Nashoba as she stared out the window. His nose nuzzled her chin lightly as she faltered in her duties, deep in thought.
"I'm certain that no matter what events may occur to cause such a feeling, that this will be an interesting year. I should see to what companions I have, especially dear Schae. I regret how much of a rift this summer has kept between us. I wonder if she has any knew reads she would like to show me..."
And as if by design, Isolde's phone indicated she had received a new text message. Contrary to what most would believe, both Isolde and Ishard enjoyed as much technology and advancements they could get their hands on.
[To: Isolde Harkin]
[It's been awhile. Are you and your brother here already? I'd stop by, but that seems a bit stalker-ish. I'll be heading to Orientation soon. You guys should join me. I may not care about social status, but I'd rather not be deemed a "loser" my senior year by sitting alone. I also have some new books for you to look at. Cool stuff - S.C]

Isolde felt the corners of her mouth turn up slightly at her friend's message and made a move to reply,
[To: Schae Caineto
[It has been a while! We are on the road now, but a few minutes away from the school. I'll find you in the hall and you can show me everything I've missed. Until then, Isolde.]

Isolde turned down the radio that was playing rather loudly as they turned into the drive to the school and looked to her brother, who stared out of the windshield in mock concentration. She could practically hear his thoughts as if they were her own by now and he was just as anxious to get to the school as she was, if for a more nefarious purpose than she.
"That was Schae who sent the message. She's already in the hall for orientation. I suppose I'll place my bags in my room and go meet her." She found herself stretching her neck to see the tops of the trees surrounding the school when the school itself broke into view. She was never one for nostalgia, but she could most definitely admire proper architecture. The skillful way the filigree and design was chiseled into the hard white marble. She often found herself lightly caressing the beautiful,cool stone with her had, finding it more relatable than any person could be. Unfortunately, she was broken out of her reverie by the halting of the vehicle in park as well as her brothers voice.
"That sounds fine. I'll do the same with my bags, but I'm going to head to the cafeteria first. I am absolutely famished."
Both nodded to each other and exited the vehicle simultaneously. Isolde found herself simply staring that the school, making failed attempts at predicting what this year will bring. A soothsayer she was not.
Ishard, after unloading their large suitcases and bags, came to stand beside his sister and look up at the school. Even though bother were quite gigantic to most people of average height, he still placed his arm on her shoulder and laid his head on hers just to make her feel smaller. Despite his annoyance, Isolde still felt pleasantly warm next to her brother and didn't make a move to remove him. They both had core body temperatures to rival the dead, much to their childhood pediatrician's dismay, and always made people shiver by simply being around them much less touch them. However all they felt when they were near was a slight and comfortable warmth.
Nashobe nosed his way in between their legs and scanned the area around the school. Their ever vigilant protector. When he saw no threat, he stretched his tall neck into the air and howled the moon now hidden by the haze of morning. Both twins smiled and patted his large head before they hugged and eventually grabbed their bags and parted ways to their perspective dormitories.
Ishard was the first to reach his, he saw no sign of his long time roommate, Lachlan, but that wasn't unusual, as most of the students were more than likely out an about catching up with friends they hadn't seen over the summer. He decided to unpack later and left his many bags to sit on his bed until he had the time to unpack them properly. He wasted no time in heading out the door and walking to the cafeteria. As he neared, he saw a familiar face about to enter.
"Hello Scott! It's been a long time how have you been?"
Ishard smiled warmly, but kept his distance physically, knowing full well that most people didn't much care for the chills his nearness could bring. He opened the door with his left hand, holding it open so that both men could walk in.
Isolde could find no sign of her roommate either, except for her own bags. Nashoba had chosen to walk with her, feeling quite full himself having eaten on the trip up. Isolde has never had an appetite to speak of, but eats in healthy intervals to keep up her strength despite how her stomach feels on the matter. She too left her bags in her room, her mind torn between unpacking and leaving to other duties and leaving won. She quickly brushed her black, wavy hair and tossed it over her shoulder as he exited the room, her faithful companion at her heels with his warm breath on her bare legs. Neither twin cared much for layered clothing since they became hot so easily and the cold never effected them.
It was a quick trip before she was standing in front of the hall and walking through the rather impressive and ornate auditorium. She saw Schae sitting somewhat in the middle with her nose in a book and she smiled. It would be strange if she found her in any other state. Nashoba took off first, bounding down the walkway to run up to Schae, licking her cheek with large, sloppy wolf kisses.
"Nashoba! Kotoba!"(heel) Despite the authority in her voice, should couldn't help but smirk at his almost affronted expression at being scolded. She walked quickly up to Schae and rubbed her hands together in a futile attempt to warm them before embracing her slightly and sitting down.
" Schae! So good to see you! A Summer is too long for us not to speak. You must tell me everything."

────────────────────────────────






















For a hungry young man, the smell of bacon, fresh bread, cooked eggs and more wafting from the cafeteria is sure to lift any grumpy mood brought on by an obnoxiously flirtatious daughter of Dionysus. Cooked breakfast was a tradition in the Darrow household. Every year when he came back from school his mother would make him a spread of breakfast food that anyone would be jealous of. Perhaps it didn’t have quite the variety that Aeonis’ cafeteria did, but his mother made it for him with love and that was a definite advantage.

As his feet carried him towards the ever so tempting smells, a buzzing in his pocket make his steps falter. His cellphone is pulled from his pocket and swiped open, revealing a message from Marilyn. He stops walking to reply, quickly typing out a message before hitting send,

    To Marzipan
    After school works well for me. I will see you then. Enjoy orientation day.


With the message sent, Scott continues towards the cafeteria, yet it was only a few steps later that he heard a voice hailing him. Turning, Scott finds a son of Khione greeting him, his smile decidedly warmer than the ice his mother holds reign over. Scott returns Ishard’s smile nodding as he answers,


“I’ve been well, thanks. Yourself, Ishard?” Scott replies, as always his words are short and to the point. Scott has never been one to use excessive words where few will make do instead. Really, anyone who expected Scott to launch into a rant about his holiday or some other topic obviously had no idea of the boy’s reticence. He’d much rather listen or offer small tidbits here and there rather than control the whole conversation. Thankfully, he was slightly more talkative with his friends, and Ishard happened to be an individual that Scott was fond of.

“Your break was good?” Scott asks as he enters the cafeteria through the open door, nodding his thanks at Ishard. Inside, Scott takes a moment to scan the hall, his eyes spotting Marilyn sitting across the cafeteria, before landing on Izzy loudly chatting with a group of friends including Scott’s own half-brother Aurel. Scott turns his gaze away from Isabel Nolan, giving Ishard his full attention as he walks towards the spread of delicious food on display, “Your sister is well too?” Scott asks politely.

It was all Priya could do to keep her smile from growing too big to contain on her face. She’s practical in that she knows her inventions are far from the average knick knacks one can find at the local market, but she’s modest enough to still blush slightly at Nessa’s compliments and brush them away. Yet, she’s always overjoyed when her projects entertain her friends, and if this is how Nessa reacts to Hugo’s gift, Priya can’t wait to see how Nessa acts when she’s given her previous butterfly.

Of course, the momentary dip in Nessa’s emotions does not go unnoticed by Priya and she hopes that between herself and Hugo they can help figure out a way around Nessa’s home like. Of anyone, Priya believes that Nessa should be able to enjoy a holiday away guilt free and Priya would do anything to have that holiday be with her own family or with Hugo’s mother. Mother Rojas was a favourite of Priya’s, who loved nothing more than to visit Hugo’s home and breath in the comforting smell of her home cooking. Priya was also favourable to admiring all of Hugo’s baby and childhood photos, particularly the embarrassing ones that his mother always insisted on bringing out, much to Priya’s delight. Yet, before Priya can reply, she’s being caught out for staring after Cory. Priya is quick to move on in order to defend herself and the object of her affection as both Nessa and Hugo turn their attention to teasing her. Priya is well aware of their distaste for the young man, but as she’s stated to the both of them many times before and will continue to remind them, to her, he’s perfect.

“Guys, please.” Priya started, sighing and shaking her head as her best friends planned a devious prank for the guy she was crazy about. Knowing what Hugo and Nessa could come up with alone was scary enough, but put those two ingenious minds together and you’re in trouble. Priya can only hope that whatever they decide to do won’t maim is beautiful face. “He’s not that bad…” Priya’s sentence trailed off, knowing that whatever she said would fall on deaf ears. Instead she made a silent promise to herself to check up on Cory later in the day, possibly warn him to watch his step and double check whatever he was about to eat… just to be safe. Priya wouldn’t have dreamed of attempting to stop the prank, she may be crazy for Cory but she also knows her best friends well enough to know that when they’re determined to pull a prank, they will.
