Hiiies can we get an introduction of the main characters & their goal pls
Im planning to make like . proper things for this . like with drawn refs and all, but for now a textpost will have to suffice . these'll be more baseline too: RINU YOSHIOKA: -She is the leader of the group, and an adventurer -Her main weapon is a big axe [that she decorated with charms n stuff] -28, she/her, transfem, aroace -Autism, bpd -Shes from Wonderland -Shes loud, energetic, chaotic and very happy most of the time . she loves her friends and shes always been curious to explore the world, so naturally she ended up being an adventurer . shes an extremely skilled fighter as well . her and her team are regarded as heroes since most of the exploration work also involves your typical having-to-kill-monsters-and-shit . people think shes stupid at first but shes actually incredibly smart, and very used to being infantilized [she uses it to commit to the bit and act dumb sometimes for the sake of The Bit] . in her teenage years, she spent her life locked up in her bedroom, never going anywhere and usually just sleeping, she absolutely hates doing that now [leading her to have a bit of insomnia] . shes very brave too! though her biggest fear is porcelain dolls, no one really knows why . she looves cute stuff too . shes the most emotionally mature out of the group, and helps them with their feelings, even though she is TERRIBLE at dealing with hers . -Killed a dragon once while she was drunk on 8 bottles of beer btw -shes quite short, around 5'5 -Her younger sister is Mayu Yoshioka -Being a regular citizen of Wonderland, she's one of the rare ones that have magic! she has hope magic [basically gains power from the hope of the people around her, can feel people's hope, and use it in the form of specific spells and energy beams . by hopes of everyone i mean it btw . even dead people .] but usually just uses her axe for stuff . she also has healing magic . shes a very good magical medic, people think shed be a good nurse . DOC: -They're an expert mage -Their main weapon is their staff -28, they/them, nonbinary, aroace -Autism, bpd -Theyre from Asteria -They're the most level headed out of the group, usually being the one to make rational choices when no one else does . they have a bit of social anxiety tho so public speaking really isnt their thing . theyre a massive perfectionist, wanting to perfect their magic skills to the utmost, and become one of the greatest Asterian mages of all time . They also like to explore, partially in hopes that it'll help them with their abilities and such . theyve been quite lonely their entire life, so now that the have a whole group of friends to travel with, they can finally live a bit better . that being said their perfectionism leads them to overwork a LOT, which intern makes them very tired usually . and kinda grouchy . Very bad at emotions i fear -Their blue skin is a birth defect, it doesnt do anything besides just Be Blue, but they get looks from people for it sometimes [not that they care . totally not/sarc] -shorter than rinu, 5'4 -they hate their family, their father was mostly absent while their mother was overbearing and pushed them way too much, leading them to uh . end up like this . -They have a very deep fascination with water and marine biology in particular, they aim to especially master water magic . they visit the water bodies around Asteria and Wonderland a lot NINA: -She's an inventor and an alchemist -Her main weapon is well . whatever inventions of hers she has on hand . tend to be medieval type firearms and her warhammer tho . also has a pair of fake wings that she uses sometimes -27, she/they/it, pangender fem, lesbian . Dating heath . -bpd + autism [through peer reviews] -Shes from the outskirts of Wonderland
-at first she seems polite and well mannered, which she certainly is, but thats kind of all people know her for besides her inventions and alchemy . Shes the second most level headed but tends to zone out a LOT to think about other things . Do NOT bring her to a cave bc she WILL space out and run off to collect rocks for her newest alchemy experiment . Shes also more prone to danger bc of this i.e. all the times she almost touched fire by accident before heath saved her . Not only does she want recognition for her craft, she also wants to travel around the world to further her inventions and alchemy, similarly to doc [they get along bc of this] . Despite her general friendliness and polite attitude, shes actually quite distrusting of most people . It took her a very long time [arc 2] to properly trust doc and rinu . The only person she trusted fully was heath and now doc and rinu too . She has a complicated relationship to her gender as well . She was born and raised in a religious cult [fun fact: two more characters in the au were also apart of this cult!!] that basically engrained into her head that inventing and alchemy was "impure" for her and "not feminine enough", and she was constantly pressured to present fem and look pretty . She barely had any friends . She managed to sneak an invention or two sometimes but mostly she didnt have anything within her interest to do . The cult was horrendously abusive obviously, and the ideas from it that were pushed onto her still affect her now . She apologizes way too much and is afraid to be dependent on people in fear of being lied to like she was her entire life in the cult . Everything of course changes when her family takes her to heaths hometown [i dont have a name for it yet </3] and she meets well . Heath . They get off EXTREMELY well for the time they see each other, and at that point they were each others only friends . And luckily, nina gets to visit his hometown quite a few times as theres cult relations there!! And well . When nina finally escapes at the age of around 19 or 20, heath just so happens to be the only person she knows outside the cult . She takes a gruelling journey to heaths hometown mostly by foot and eventually finds her shop . Heath, of course is very surprised and extremely concerned, and agrees to let them live in her home . They grow accustomed to each other as nina stays there for id say an year or two, eventually gaining enough crystals [money equivalent . Basic ik </3] to bounce back up and but her own home . And in that time the two dense dumbasses realize both of them have a crush on each other . It took them months for heath to finally confess to her and yeah . Nina and heath do live apart [mostly . Until they join the main gang] but they visit each other frequently . And years later when theyre both 27 is when the story starts .
-her goggles have a bow sown onto either side of them . She invented that . Some people think its stupid but she thinks it looks cute [i agree nina o7]
-around 5'3 to 5'4 . Insane height difference with heath LOL
-other than alchemy and inventing stuff, her other hobby is collecting or sometimes making and planning out ornate teacups!!
-she actually tends to snap quite a bit . I mean she always tries to be polite about it but she has Anger . Yk . She can also go a bit insane when handed crossbows or any type of medieval firearm .
HEATH:
-shes a travelling merchant and a famous author
-the place shes from is basically just Desert Furry Town . Shes a fox furry with sand/ground magic [making pillars from the ground, summoning sandstorms when theres sand around, manipulating rocks and dirt etc etc]
-27, he/she, transfem lesbian . Dating nina .
-bpd [maybe inattentive type adhd too]
-she has a pet starfox!! [fox with cosmic powers] his names astra and hes pretty important to the story!! [we love astra here]
-heath is chill . Very very tired . Really nice and friendly, being a merchant and all . But just really apathetic . She also uses a large vocabulary since shes an author . While she is level headed shes very open to her fair share of bits, sarcastic quips and teasing people . Or bullying doc LMAO . As a child she was quite literally the opposite of this though . She was excitable and energetic and had her head in the clouds, always dreaming up a story . Her parents were neglectful and hated her [they were on the brink of a divorce and thought he was a burden on them] . This caused heaths happiness to largely mellow out over the years . this was paired with the fact that she largely had no friends, until she met nine . But im not re-explaining allat again . Under her parents demand she became a merchant and did, indeed enjoy it . Meeting new people across lands was actually fun, shes kind of like those bartenders that know everyones secrets . She also pursued her dream of writing which went extremely well . However she always faced a lot of slack for her identity over the years . At first it was being too hyperactive, but now it was even more personal . People were uncomfortable with her since shes trans openly so, whilst also not fitting any female gender norms [stubble, flat chest, broad shoulders, fem-ish but deep voice] . As a result people who dont know her tend to be disgusted of her or scared of her and treat her like an alien . Heath tries not to let that bother her but it very much does [as seen in her breakdown in arc 1] . This is paired with her overworking herself constantly to be the perfect writer so that people care more about that than how she presents [and thus leave him the fuck alone] . Shes grown to be apathetic as a coping mechanism, and it comes to her detriment quite a lot . She doesnt think nor feels like she belongs anywhere, and it took her a while to not constantly other herself from her friends . Her awful sleep schedule also just makes her kind of cranky but she supresses it . Of course, she has a deep love and care for nina, someone who understood her and never judged him for anything . This is also why she argues and bickers with doc so much, since shes so apathetic and worried about herself as a person [not out of a big ego but out of anxiety] while doc tries to focus constantly only on work, thinking its the only thing that matters . Doc ia also just more stuck up than heath althought theyre just as tired as each other .
-shes your local testosterone and estrogen dealer . Well not literally since you transition through potions and stuff here but she does sell them
-she travels the world to find inspiration to write about and pick up nicknacks to sell . Shes very good at negotiating and bargaining .
-mf is like 5'11 to 6'0 . She constantly has to bend down when theyre checking the map together LOL
-she loves gardening, especially growing tea!! Shes a bit addicted to it too i fear
-heath loves scheming and making Evil [/silly] plans with rinu . Stupid fucking goobers/pos
Thats about it!! Please feel free to ask questions n stuff ^_^
