HelpRe: Amara L's Halloween Congrats!

USERNAME: Dracotorix
LN: Ankhara-Sylvain
SO1: Andromache Wilhelmina Sylvain {WITCH} - Wilhelmina from Dracula
SO2: Dorian Rune Ankhara {WARLOCK} - Dorian from The Picture of Dorian Gray (I'm assuming someone a movie version of that at some time...)
They live on the outskirts of a town, nowhere near the main city of Gaethram.
Andromache comes from a long line of witches highly respected for their talents, but her family has always lived in the rural areas and has spent a long time gently refusing the offers of titles and a place at court from important people and the like from the main city. Andromache doesn't live in the forest like her grandmother did, and she does travel to court occasionally, but she will not accept a title and refuses to live in the main city. She has a reputation as a "good witch", especially among people like farmers and townsfolk, as most of her work involves healing and changing the weather in peoples' favor. However, it is not uncommon for her to accept a job involving poisoning or hexing, and most of the more 'important' types and those in the main city know this.
Dorian has distant relatives who hold important titles in the main city, but he comes from an illegitimate branch of the family tree and has never been recognized by these relatives. He was trained in a mountain colony by one of the more "rebellious" magicians. His master and a select circle of friends and students were once involved in a slightly illegal plan, but Dorian was kicked out when it was discovered that his views didn't align quite enough with their intentions. He then moved back to the town where he was born, with talent but no title. He secretly wishes he could move to the main city and be recognized as a wizard, or even become part of another circle of warlocks. He could match most of the court wizards in ability, but he's mostly hopeless when it comes to politics. He admires wizards a little too much to get along with most other warlocks.
(note: in this world, "wizard" refers to a male magic-user who had been trained by another wizard and been accepted by the court at Gaethram. A "warlock" is one who was trained 'unofficially'. "Warlock" tends to have the connotation of someone young, inexperienced, rural, umimportant, rebellious, likely to do illegal things, and less talented than a wizard, but these are not always true. Some warlocks are respected by the court, but they *usually* aren't granted political positions. "Witch" refers to any female magic-user, but the term "high witch" is occassionally used to differentiate a court witch [wizard-level] from a warlock-type witch.)
They met in Dorian's hometown, which is the town Andromache lives nearest to. They aren't married (official marriages usually only tend to happen in the families of politicians and royalty). They've officially been together for about five years, although they knew each other before.
