A german lighthouse keeper from Auendorf (but ended up living in Norway manning the Ryvingen lighthouse) who took to the neath to find their daughter. She was dead. They did not take it well. They have since lost memory of this, and now, having spent too long here to leave the neath, is trying to fill the mysterious family-shaped hole in their heart with honey, charity, and the marvellous.
Colour: Blue

They had fluke-flesh sewn into them once, and now find they are increasingly turning into a rubbery aberration, hiding this under many layers of clothing.

A rattus faber self-taught academic who lives in The Captain's walls and is currently using them to help in his project of making death as impermanent for rats as it is for humans.
Colour: Red
FREQUENCY: 141.80
He'd like to do this peacefully like an academic, but unfortunately nobody takes RFs seriously, and being polite just gets you politely pressured into leaving. If he waited politely until he managed to convince people to let him into their libraries and examine their experiments he knows he would die of old age first. The only way to get people to listen is to point a gun at them. So that's what he does. If people complain, it's their own fault for not being civil the first time.
His plans for himself have become plans for all ratkind, have become plans beyond that- an equality in death for all, where all things that live here get the chances a human gets, be they rat or cat or devil. He's extended his lifespan with cider stolen from the masters (though he's only taking it as and when he needs it, drops at a time) and now seeks to steal even more from them- their anatomical secrets. What lies does this "great chain" find to make a big fucking bat something of centuries, and how can he use them?
Many hunters have gone after the Vake. He will admit, the humans have all been stronger, all been faster, all wield weapons far beyond what his paws can hold, can seek advice from other hunters... hell, Myghal isn't even a hunter. He's a self-taught scientist.
Yes, the humans have almost every advantage, save one.
They didn't invent the railgun.
Myghal is going to have that thing's heart in his hands in two months, tops.
The Avaricious Page
Tybalt Thyward (◘𐂂), 6, She/Her, Neathian, 3'5" (at the shoulder)
🜂 highest qualities: Hedonist, Ruthless, Subtle
▼ lowest qualities: Austere, Melancholy, Steadfast
Best Skill: Dangerous
Worst Skill: Shadowy
Job: Silverer / Monster Hunter
Tag: #the avaricious page
A large tiger who was sent over to London as a minor ambassador after being caught up in a scandal in her homeland. She immediately engaged in corruption, eager for the spoils of industry and society- though the tigers don't mind. Having one openly corrupt ambassador is actually useful in the long run. Sometimes you'd rather run your diplomacy through officially unofficial channels.
Colour: Orange
FREQUENCY: DEFAULT- 140.96
Though she may seem a skin deep swindler on the surface, in truth, the skin is all there is of the tiger she was supposed to be. She's swindled and bartered and mulliganned away almost all of what she was, constantly changing the game so she stays one step ahead of the imminent doom that drenches her every waking second. She's a gambler of the highest caliber but addicted to the game- playing at the mob's table and raking in their money to keep the light on, knowing each win puts a bigger bounty on her head. But as long as she keeps winning, she can pay it all off. She has to keep winning. There has to be a way out of this.
The Timorous Corpse
Dietlinde Lisa Schrödinger, 28 (b.1875), She/Her, German-Norwegian, 6'1" (was 5'6" before she died, not a fan of being tall)
🜂 highest qualities: Magnanimous, Subtle, Austere
▼ lowest qualities: Heartless, Forceful, Hedonist
Best Skill: Shadowy
Worst Skill: Persuasive
Job: The Page's Aide
Tag: #the timorous corpse
A very traumatised tomb-colonist who came to the neath as a young girl full of spunk, tried fighting for the rights of rubbery folk and nearly immediately got brutally slaughtered and sent to the tomb colonies spending years of her life going through surgery and recovery until she felt brave enough to go back to London to search for the friends she left behind by dying.
Colour: blue, for now
FREQUENCY: 140.85
London is a dangerous place now. She hoped for answers, and found herself under the wing (and now in the bed of) a talking tiger with lofty ambitions and a wounded soul. She is still quiet and flighty in person, but in darkness she plans, weaving dreaming webs of bonds, and studying a new theory of revolution.
Note to self: as of 2026, above ground it is 1904. London fell in 1862.
