AN: Considering that Nui Kaua is nearing completion (Final 6 at the time of writing this, soon to be Final 5), I decided to do a few character introductions. First we have the rulers of the four main clans. I'll do more character introductions as well as we wait for Nui Kaua to wrap up, though they won't be grouped in any particular way.
The Cumhachtach King: Tiberius Vult!
The Zealous Templar might sound like he belongs in the spirituality clan, but there's more to Tiberius than meets the eye. He only has one goal in mind, Win, by any means necessary. He has been paid by an anonymous benefactor to compete in the season, and should he win, said benefactor will win the rights to the show. That is where the majority of this man's zeal comes from. Tiberius doesn't give a shit about who stands in his way, but he knows who he doesn't want around. The weak, the scrawny, those who would waste time sitting around and thinking instead of going out there like the man they're supposed to be and take action! The First King of Cumhachtach is in a prime position for an early lead and will be able to mold the game for both himself and the others, but his abrasive and social Darwinist personality are sure to earn the ire of just about every other contestant. Will Tiberius live up to his own credo of Might equalling Right? Or will he find himself going the way of various tyrants throughout history before him?

The Mealltach Queen: Rose Rare!
The Generous Designer, Rose is an incorrigible fashionista. As stated in our previous preview, she was chosen by Tiberius out of all the female contestants to lead her clan, a choice that may spark jealousy amongst her peers, and as she is already more than a tad vain, her clan's crown is likely to accentuate that flaw. Still, despite some shallow tendencies, she does have her clan's best interests at heart and plans to play as honest a game as possible, opting to get rid of those who cause dissention between the group before anyone else (though, if none fit the criteria, she has made it known that bad appearance is her second go-to vote). One more thing Rose will find herself entangled in is the relationships of both herself and other contestants. She enjoys playing matchmaker for her friends quite a bit. There is potential in Rose for a good strategy to form and take her far in the game, but can this fashion designer truly brave the physical challenges the island has to offer?

The Ffydd Queen: Franchesca Polermos!
The Devoted Leader was a no brainer during the interview process to hand her the first Ffydd crown. When it was prayer to your god that inspired you to apply for the show in the first place, you certainly are devoted in terms of spirit, though Franchesca did only barely beat out another contestant for this honor. Franchesca's biggest problem this season will come not from her lacking physical or average mental qualities, her extraordinary charisma and luck might offset those. No, her problem will come in the form of her team, as out of all the clans, clan Ffydd is the least like their described characteristic. In terms of spirituality, they might all believe in destiny, but most of her Ffydd followers are only just spiritual enough to have avoided the Outcast clan. Can Franchesca rally her clan around a god that only she believes in, or will they be annoyed by her attitude into deposing her right away?

The Cyfrwys King: Jeremy Ramsay!
The Altruistic Strategist, chosen at random among his Cyfrwys colleagues, is starting the game at a huge disadvantage. No one wants to be known as the King of the Cunning Clan. It's tantamount to painting a large bullseye over your back. But is Jeremy the type to mind this? Of course not. This strategist knows in his heart of hearts that no plan is too risky to attempt, and would much rather have a target on his own back than any of his valued teammates'. He's not about to discount any strategy to get him to the end, but there are two types of people he can't stand: those who embody vanity, as well as stubborn imbeciles, are on the top of Jeremy's "to eliminate" list, and with the power the Cyfrwys King possess, he'll be privy to all alliances formed among most of the other clans, allowing his excess of information to be incorporated into his game plans, making him just as much a threat as he is a target. Can Jeremy manage to outcraft the other members of his own clan and take home the prize, or will he find himself with too many foes to make a deciding move?

*Request Elimination Information*
These are special eliminations, that must be requested before a challenge is over. Even a clan that has won the challenge may request such an elimination, and this ceremony WILL replace the elimination ceremony of whatever team would have lost the challenge. A King or Queen may not call for a requested elimination ceremony within a week of the last request, nor can the same clan call two requested eliminations in a row (So, hypothetically, say Jeremy called a ceremony one week. The next week, none of the rulers can call a ceremony. The next week, whomever the King or Queen of Cyfrwys is still can't call a ceremony, but the other clan rulers with this ability may).
Those introduced above are the four people starting the game off who have the unique ability to request a Tine Naofa Bonfire Elimination Ceremony. This type of ceremony is special in that the King or Queen is so certain they want someone gone that they're willing to put their own game on the line to get rid of them. A random jury made up of a single non-ruler member of each of the other tribes (excluding the outcasts), will watch the ceremony take place, where both the King or Queen and the contestant they wish to eliminate will plead their case, and the jury of three will vote on who to keep and who to send to the Shame-terranean. In the case that the ruler is chosen to be eliminated, rather than choose their successor, whomever defeated them in the trial is crowned in their place.
