The pillars are built

The guardians are placed

Balance is restored at a priced paid in full

May they walk in starlight

"Yes, yes. I understand. I'll pick up where the last left off. Greetings. You all may call me....? Um? What was my name again? Call me Professor Alexandrite."

The Legend States:

The Nightingale is the bird of unrequited love.

So if you need to move on from a love so heavy: pray to the Nightingale for aid. She will hear you, and if you are lucky, she'll visit you in your dreams... She will comfort you like a mother... Hold you until you're finished crying. And she will cleanse your heart and mind in fire to help sever the tie you have on your unrequited love.

Name: Astrea Darling † Nickname: Aster, Sonata, Raven Gender: Female Occupation: Singer at the Bird Cage || Marble Artist

Family: Mother: Evening Darling† Father: S---- Theodore Syde† Brother: Aeon Darling† Uncles: Dawn, Dusk, Proxy Aunts: Twilight, Arisa

Likes: Marble work, skating, painting, teas, spicy food Dislikes: Forced work... Overly sweet sweets

Personality: An absolute fire cracker. While her brother waits to calm down, Aster is already throwing the punch. She's the type to ask later, much to her own folly.

Background: wip--

[ancxentlog]

Name: Avet Grace Nickname: Avi Gender: Male Occupation: Psychic Medium

Family: Fathers: Denys and Geist Brother: Rev, Faust Uncles: Yew, Janne, Nikolai Aunts: Magnolia, Aimee

Likes: --- Dislikes: Loud noise, being in a storm, cold

Asterisk: Necromancer Sub-Asterisk: Seeker

Personality: A bit of a mystery. He keeps to himself a lot and he can only really be read like an open book by his brothers, Rev and Faust. Be he shows that he's a caring individual in the way he listens to others, remembering what they said they need or want, and doing it when he has the time.

Background: Avet is mute, hence the mysterious air he has around him. The teachers at the Clovis Estate did their best to accommodate him, and for the most part, he appreciated their efforts. Unfortunately, Avet doesn't remember much of his past-- just a bad storm and then feeling cold after. He lived at the Estate ever since James took him in after a quick sail around the cape. Upon his arrival, Geist was called since he was in the kingdom, and he acted as his doctor until he woke up. Since then, Avet would always welcome him and Rev whenever they'd visit, and the boys soon came to be close friends.

Avet also has the gift of psychic abilities. He can see and hear spirits easily ever since waking up at the estate. To his merit, he can see Rev's spirit as another entity in the armor, and maybe that's why he wasn't afraid of Geist immediately after waking up. When Faust came in, the boys were almost inseparable. He grew used to being around Fizz since it felt like he can understand his gestures better than the other kids. Denys also became someone he was used to being around... And eventually, he started gesturing to both men as his fathers to other people.

Note: If allowed, the spirits can possess his body to use him and give him a voice.

Name: Faust Grace Nickname: Fizzy Gender: Male Occupation: Apothecary

Family: Fathers: Denys and Geist Brothers: Rev, Avet Uncles: Yew, Janne, Nikolai Aunts: Magnolia, Aimee

Likes: Herbs, flowers, poisons, spicy foods Dislikes: Loud noises, cold

Asterisk: Poison Master Sub-Asterisk: Necromancer

Personality: Blunt. Point, blank, and shoot. He tells things as it is, but he understands time and place. Unless he's asked for his "completely honest opinion," he'll keep those thoughts to himself.

Background: Denys was the man who brought him in after finding his family's campsite burnt down. Fiz was the son of a traveling apothecary before a group of brigands came along to rob the family caravan. Fortunately for him, the attack was done when he was asleep in the caravan.. Unfortunately for him, he was knocked out and left for dead when the brigands set the cart on fire.

When Denys came across the scene, the brigands were riding away in the other direction, and this is what prompted him to investigate the scene. Thankfully, Asbel was accompanying Denys on this journey, and he was the one who brought Faust's presence up with Denys. Immediately, he braved the fire to pull the little guy out, and it was history from there. Denys brought Faust to the Clovis Estate in hopes the nurses there could help him. Oddette welcomed both inside and she offered to care for him while Denys met with Caldislan dignitaries.

He's visit every night before falling asleep in an extra guest room until Fiz finally woke up. He remembered the attack, and he was correct to assume his parents were dead. Denys eventually brought him and Avet to the Castle Oblivion where he made quick friends with Revenant.

Name: Fenris Tannenberg Nickname: Fen, Pup, Lucky Gender: Male Occupation: An actual child

Family: Mother: Oddette Tannenberg Aunts: Paige, Alise, Magnolia, Edea, Agnes, Ai, Natalia, Serena, Mari, Lena Uncles: James, Asbel, Yew, Denys, Tiz, Nico, Fynn Father: Janne Balestra

Likes: Stories, sailing, reading, animals Dislikes: sad endings

Asterisk: --- Sub-Asterisk: ---

Personality: A very well mannered boy raised alongside the wards of Clovis Estate in Caldisla. His imagination runs his entire day thanks to his mother and his Auntie Paige's stories, and his Uncle James is to blame for his love of the sea. He's easily excited, but he know when he needs to relax. Just a boy and his big dreams of being a hero.

Background: Fenris is the son of Oddette, and the heir to the Clovis estate, making him the Lord of house... But he doesn't think much about that since he's too busy being a child on the grounds. He's far too preoccupied listening and making up stories, playing with the other kids, and even going out sailing with his Uncle James when his mother gives him permission. So, really, his imagination is his strongest ability thanks to the people in his life. He loves exploring-- going on "adventures"-- and he loves going to Eternia the most.

There are times where he wonders about his father: why he's never around or if he's ever coming to see him, however, despite this.. He never felt the absence of love from his mom, uncles, and aunts. Whenever he asks about him, Oddette would tell him stories of the Great Wolf Swordsman's Adventures.

[ancxentlog]

Name: Lauv Lee Nickname: Ai, Ailee, Dove Gender: Female Occupation: Diplomat for Eternian Council

Relationships: Mother: Mahzer Lee Father: Nobutsuba Kamiizumi Papa: Braev Lee Sisters: Edea, Minette

Likes: Sweets, tea, reading, naginata training Dislikes: Green bell peppers, being too hot, last minute plans

Asterisk: Spear Master Sub-Asterisk: Alchemist

Personality: Confident, courageous and a little too charismatic. Lauv is as skilled in the arts of court rules and paperwork as she is with her spears and staves. So training her mind and body is always a priority for her. Unfortunately, Lauv struggles with spontaneity, so going with the flow doesn't always sit right with her.

Backstory: Lauv is the daughter of Mahzer, Nobutsuna and Braev, and the younger sister of Edea. Being just two years apart, the girls are extremely close and they love being in each other presence growing up. In every aspect, the girls were each other's perfect opposites, yet they got along so well and rare even argued. However, when Edea was starting to show interest in swordplay, Lauv began showing symptoms to a chronic illness: the fatigue, the coughing fits, the fevers, the migraines... So, Tsuna decided to take Edea in as a student, while Braev took their youngest daughter in to take of her and Mahzer.

Eventually, Lauv noticed how well her fathers can command a room, and she wanted to be like that too since she was their daughter. So, while Edea trained in the way of the sword, Lauv took the mantle to learn how to be the shield. She trained her mind to be as sharp as a blade so no one can double cross her people, her sister, or her parents. It wasn't until she turned 16 that she managed to make her own medication for her sickness... For as much as her family is concerned, she's cured, and she wants them to continue thinking that way. Ai takes her medication in secret, and she keeps a regular routine going so no one thinks anything is wrong.

Notable Liyue Residents

These characters can be found around Liyue at certain times of the day.

"Viola" - A mysteriously silent courier that works around the Harbour. She carries around a violin to keep her hands busy when she isn't delivering mail, and it seems like those who know her well enough can decipher what she's trying to say just by how she plays her strings... As of right now, Haoran and Lixun are the only people who can fully understand Viola.

Haoran - A man who works for a smaller, local apothecary sorting herbs. Due to his blindness, he works by getting a quick whiff of the herb before separating it into the correct bin. When he's not at the medicine man's hut, he can be found practicing the drums for the next lunar new year.

Lixun - The grandson of the medicine man that Haoran works for. He's a little forgetful, but he's a hard worker albeit being a little strange himself. He can often be found talking to himself while walking around town or even at his little stall. Lixun is a sailor by hobby but a cook by trade; his specialty is meat bowls.

Citrine - A sailor claiming to come from Mondstadt. She sails along her crewmates on a merchant ship that goes between Liyue and Inazuma every other season. When she's on mainland, Citrine is already making her way back to Mondstadt... Viola "says" that the woman seems to always be running away from something.

Basic Game Mechanics

Campaign will follow Nimble 5 rules to make combat move faster.

Boss fights may be subjected to change to traditional 5e depending on the boss.

Leveling up will be milestone based since no one needs to continuously build characters for teams

Be aware that your choices matter as you travel through the Hoyoverse. Your lives aren't the only ones at stake, after all.
