who are kazem and the fungal library :0?

kazem, the dreaming exile, is another member of the unfettered alliance, a tiger commander who fell in love with a fingerking. he was stripped of his titles and banished from the elder continent upon the discovery of their relationship. he wants to end the parabolan war, and joined the alliance to make use of their resources and allies beyond the glass. he has an adopted child, naomi, who formerly an orphan sent to the court of the wakeful eye as tribute.

the fungal library is a clan of rattus faber hailing from the fourth city who live right below hookman house, the ministry of public decency's headquarters (which landed on them when london fell to the neath). they are archivists and information brokers who steal back censored material from right under the ministry's nose. they work with the unfettered alliance as well, and appoint a dedicated representative for this matter.

Did Thass turn green at some point or was that just for the BaL joke?

Her original design (from 4 years ago) was closer to a standard Rubbery! It's been rendered noncanon since I redesigned her, so it's the perfect design for her apocryphal counterpart. The same goes for apocryphal Shale, though they still had the cosmogone spectacles.

Amanita sherry, perhaps? 👀

amanita sherry: what is your oc’s favorite neathy food and/or beverage?

thass's diet primarily consists of various molluscs and crustaceans, eaten raw. some of them are caught from the zee, others are domesticated stock descended from axilean species brought to the neath that bred in places like flute street to this day. she gets a kick out of variations in texture - her favorite things to eat are crabs and shrimp.

what's thass and shale's respective backstories 👀? do they know each other :0?

shale was part of a shipment of clay men to london to be used as dockside labor. they were caught in the middle of a dockside riot (similar to the battle of wolfstack docks) and narrowly escaped being thrown into the zee by a couple of dockworkers. they were eventually trained by a rev-aligned silverer who believed that as a being partially born from dreams, they would have a natural affinity for parabola. also the guy who rescued and sort-of-adopted them became a seeker and they were almost a st. cerise's sacrifice but that's another story

thass was created in flute street shortly after the fall to interact with london's upper class. she was given outdated info about fourth city society and thus failed miserably at her role, eventually neglecting her task to hang out with more tolerant bohemian circles. she eventually fled west to join a commune of rubberies that had also left london. this was also where she learned the shapeling arts. eventually, the flukes discovered the commune and sent a beast of axile to massacre everyone involved; thass only survived by running away and pretends not to feel massive amounts of survivor's guilt

they met through a mutual friend: electra, a clay woman who works as thass's assistant and was in the same shipment as shale. they hit it off and eventually founded the unfettered alliance, a loose collective of various nonhuman revolutionaries intended to protect them from the prejudice of their human counterparts
