I'm all ready to go - I just posted in the PM. I'd say we go ahead and post our B entries.

Well, here is a Character Bio. I tried to follow a guideline and also make something unique. I hope it works out (spelling and grammar aside, which I am noticing).

Sul Vanigri, Tegres, Lord

Eccentric Lemurian aesthete, scholar, mystic and gifted Mind Scientist

While once recognized as a citizen, and indeed, an honorable and esteemed mind of the Atlantean Empire, Lord Tegres sul' Vanigri and his noble family have always considered themselves to be of Lemurian blood, a sense of ethnic identity that has persisted in the Deep South Basin Region despite Atlantis' conquest of Lemuria, and its forced intermarriage and alliances with the local aristocracy many eons ago.

As an incredibly gifted, yet very shy and introverted youth, Tegres was sent directly to the High Lyceum of Mu where he learned and excelled in the finest and most intricate of Mind Sciences that his heritage in particular laid claim to -- including emphatic sensitivity, and telepathy. It is even rumoured that during this period, he mastered the art of telekinesis, although there is little evidence to substantiate this claim. Lord Tegres would go on to study History, Literature and Art at the Empire High Institute of Arts. It was there, in the heart of the Empire that he also began to create an interdisciplinary link within his various studies. "After all," as he would later remark to his students, "one cannot understand a culture, or the psychological stresses behind it unless one examines the outward expression of it in its art."

Lord Tegres would go on to write various controversial works such as: Pan-Literary Fragments from a Greater Pangeaic Era (which dealt with the parallels between various Sunken and Unsunken literary and mythological narratives), and A Tale of Two Kingdoms (a work derived from ancient Lemurian Brain Corals that depicted the ancient war between the two city-states of steam-technological Atlantis and utopian Lemuria through the image of the rape of the wise and beautiful Maiden-queen Mu by the triumphant steel-clad warmonger king Atlas). It was this last work, whose mythic symbolism touched upon many raw collective unconscious elements along with Lord Tegres' own involvement with the largely pacifist but highly "Imperially inconvenient" Lemurian Independence League (of which A Tale of Two Kingdoms became its unofficial Manifesto) that encouraged the Lemurian scholar to take his studies ... abroad.

Yet even though Lord Tegres' efforts greatly influenced the creation of a separate Lemurian State quite a few years later, the Lemurian scholar stayed abroad for the remainder of his very long life. He would go on to meet with such luminaries as Carl Jung, who influenced his work with the concept of archetypes, and worked with him in psychological pursuits -- especially in the investigation and harnessing of para-human mental ability, and founding proper institutions of learning and integration for them. Indeed, Lord Tegres himself taught many of these psionic para-humans to control much of their own power through some of the most basic of the Transcendental Mysteries. As a result, he was given many honorary doctorates by the Unsunken for his therapeutic works with and charities for the mentally ill.

It was towards the later years of his life, that Lord Tegres decided to apply a psychological-aesthetic approach to the problem of the D'zkhari-Terran War -- a time of great cultural and mass psychic upheaval that would forever change the world as everyone knew it. Much of this work had not been complete, as the Lemurian scholar was between As Above, So Below (an epic narrative of the Lemurians' exodus from the Broken Lands and their role as the progenitors of early Atlantean civilization), and Metal Does Not Remember: A Cautionary Tale (a critique on both the Sunken and Unsunken continents' over reliance on technology), his mental faculties began to descend into the Final Mysteries. Yet despite this, it would be many years later in 2081, ironically the publication year of this Encyclopedia Project in which Lord Tegres was a part-time Emeritus member that he would pass way peacefully in his sleep. After his death, the Free State of Lemuria, governed constitutionally by House Vanigri buried him, with full honours, in a bed of Brain Coral -- where his thoughts will always remain.

sweet!
