And here they are, the whole team together at last! This was a wonderfully fun project and I hope to do more with these characters in the future! I’m trying to think of a fun name for the crew, I’m open to suggestions. I’d like to thank @dyemelikeasunset and @mothsbymoonlight for designing such an excelent setting, and for being so inspirational! You’re both so rad and I appreciate everything you do! More about all these characters under cut! (warning for length, there is a lot)
Feraline - They’re the crew’s non-official leader, with ‘veto power’ over any plan they deem too dangerous or not worth it on the risk vs reward scale. Basically any job or plan needs Feraline’s thumbs up before the crew can go ahead. This power dynamic developed naturally over time, as Feraline’s military training lent itself to the leader role. When not on a job, Feraline tries their best to be friendly and inviting to everyone they meet. Strangely, their relationship with Avan seems almost antagonistic, as it’s about 50% insult based humor. Rest assured though, Avan and Feraline have an incredibly strong positive relationship. Feraline is an aro/ace, genderqueer Myrmidon glass mage.
Avan - Avan’s primary roles in the crew are the negotiator, and the ‘idea guy’. His merchant background has provided him with many social skills vital to the crews lifestyle, and Avan will usually be the one to negotiate payment on jobs, or attempt to diffuse a tense situation. It was also Avan who convinced Devnet and Kuru to join up (Alifae was more than eager to sign up). When actually on a job, it is typically Avan who will run strategies by the team, and take a leading role in forming the plans. He’s also some extra muscle to help Alifae in fights, and he always seems to have the right tool on him for almost any situation. Avan is a calm, collected man, and is always willing to extend the hand of friendship to others. (He has a bit of a crush on Kuru, but is actually rather shy when it comes to romance). Avan is a pansexual and polyamorous Myrmidon rogue.
Devnet - {My precious child, I shouldn’t pick favourites, but I absolutely did} When anybody in the crew gets injured, they turn to Devnet’s medical expertise. Kuru has some skill in first aid, but his skill pales in comparison to the Goblins medical mastery. Not only does Devnet have certain magical talents to help her heal others, she also possesses a strong knowledge of anatomy, and mundane healing skills to help her out. Devnet tends to not actually come with the crew on jobs, and instead maintains and keep watch over the area the crew is camped out at. She really enjoys the peace and quiet when she can, and while the crew is away she will tend to the upkeep of clothes and equipment, and tries to have a hot meal ready for whenever the team comes back. This arrangement doesn’t always work out well though, for instance, whenever the team is late in returning from a job, Devnet tends to worry a lot about their safety and gets stressed out very easily. She has a very strong relationship with Alifae, and feels very protective of the Jotun warrior. She gets along well with the other members of the crew though, and worries everyday about their safety. Devnet is a demi-heterosexual, goblin medic.
Kuru - The most recent addition to the team, Kuru fits in well as a hunter and scout, but worries about whether he fits in as an individual. He is not very sociable, and will hardly say a word to anyone all day, though sometimes he wishes he were a little more sociable. Kuru is the crews scout and hunter, and is the most proficient at ranged combat. His sound magic aids his already impressive Kobold hearing, making him an absolutely amazing scout, and with him around the team can always trust that they’ll have enough food. Kuru gets along well enough with Feraline and Avan, but has an almost non-existent relationship with Devnet, as the two are both rather quiet, and in the weeks since Kuru joined the two have said maybe a dozen words to each other. He’s not sure however, about Alifae, he finds her almost too loud and blunt, and is not sure how to interact with someone with that kind of personality. Kuru is a gay Kobold hunter and scout.
Alifae - Alifae is the real muscle of the team, a whirlwind of steel and flesh in combat. Not only is she rather skilled at using her bardiche in combat, she knows her way around in a fist fight, and has a few magical mist tricks up her sleeve. It was only after Alifae and Devnet signed up, that Feraline and Avan started taking on more dangerous and risky jobs. Alifae knows what she’s good at, and isn’t afraid to be loud about it, and she has a bad habit of picking fights with very strong looking people. This tendency to pick dangerous fights has toned down a bit since she joined up with the crew, since the jobs they take on tend to involve a fair bit of fighting, and Alifae has turned her aggression towards these fights instead. Although Alifae has nothing against getting involved in the occasional tavern-brawl. Alifae and Feraline get along famously, and her and Avan have quite gotten intimate a few times. Alifae’s top priority relationship is with Devnet though. Both of them feel incredibly strongly about one another, and would lay down their lives to protect the other, something Alifae came very close to doing on one occasion, (more on that later). Alifae is a pansexual, polyamorous, Jotun warrior.
If you read all this, thank you so much! And feel free to ask any questions, I love talking about all these people.
