I have to
confess, I have a soft spot for Rumal. Okay, so I have soft spots for many of
the characters I create *grin* but Rumal is the guy that when he holds you eye
for a little too long you promptly turn into a silly giggling schoolgirl. He’s
naturally very charming and not in a sleazy way. As the oldest of his siblings
and being the heir to the Br’Laan estate on Delanta, he has been very fortunate
in life. This is helpful, because a genetic trait he received from his
Grandfather does make some on Gar’nyse consider him as a serious threat. Rumal
is what is considered to be a ‘male’ syren.

is what is considered to be a ‘male’ syren.
On Gar’nyse all
syrens are female and when they come to breeding age they set out to find some
hapless male humanoid creature to mate with. During mating, at the peak of
their energy rise, they release their scream which usually kills the male. On
the odd occasion that it doesn’t, the syren energy becomes merged with the
male’s own life energy, forever altering his genetic makeup. That gene can be
passed on to any male offspring he might have.

Rumal’s
Grandfather survived an encounter with a syren and Rumal inherited the gene.
Consequently he has the dark gold eyes of a syren and the ability to control
others with both his eyes and voice. Not surprisingly ‘male’ syrens are
regarded by others with great suspicion and there have been instances over the
centuries of male syrens using their abilities in far less than reputable ways.

These abilities
that Rumal has make him a vital part of the Griffon Guard and he has saved all
their hides on more than one occasion. Rumal originally linked with a female
griffon named Ofelaan and they were together for many years before Elena
summoned them to become part of the Griffon Guard. Not long after that Ofelaan
was tragically murdered by Jenviet and her brother Diantew. To have a link
severed in such a manner is utterly devastating and Rumal was absent for many
months after her death. Then, unexpectedly, he heard the call of a griffon.
With Gredel and Phroma, Rumal set out for a tiny island in theDelos Sea
to find the griffon whose call was so loud. When they arrived they found a
female griffon distraught, hunting for her young pup who’d disappeared after
telling another griffon pup that he was ‘off to find his friend’.

It was an anxious
ride back to the mainland and when they arrived in Port there was a message
from Elena waiting for them. The young pup had arrived at the castle a day
after they’d left it. That young pup is now a big adolescent griffon with a
slowly filling out mane and beautiful gold under color to his light tan fur.
His name is Kerak.

Ideas for playing
Rumal? At the moment I have Tyrese Gibson in mind – what do you think, any
suggestions?
