finally have a name for this idea! Gonna tag everything under shales magic uni story as inherents. this was partly a colouring test but partly i needed a visual line up of the character cause dang dana is tall. -Shale the goblin sidekick Born in the Great Underground, as an Orefinger, being her family name and their way of life, using their elongated index finger to locate ore within the rock. All goblins are born as perfect blanks slates, they change according to environments, their cells are malleable. Each clan raises their children differently, in order to develop the traits that define their clans. Shale was lost in the developmental stage and when she was found, she’d already passed her malleable stage and her chance to adapt. She’d developed highly sensitive ears, strong eyes and nimble climbing hands/feet while she was lost, which are good but doesn’t help you in the way of goblin society. She worked extra hard, tried her hand at everything to make up for her lack of natural talent, concentrating on inventing things to make her families life easier. she helped her coven become quite prominent within the goblin community after discovering easier/more efficient ways to mine cantite (singing ore) and finding new methods to use the remains and the whole Great Underground benefits. They’re able to charge a bit more and unbeknownst to shale, her family is saving up money and colluding with ohmi, a witch, a friend of the family and general busybody, to help shale get into a good school aboveground. Not many goblins get into above ground learning, and she’s determined to represent her people well. and to not take shit from the inherent’s who might try and put her down. Shale has a bit of an attitude, she’s always seen herself as an underdog, but it very intelligent. Not so great socially but very affectionate once she trusts someone. - Dana, the half elf/half goblin(?) hero Dana very quickly, despite the ‘setbacks of her birth’, becomes top of her class in the Hero unit, she’s quick, she’s agile, she’s strong and intelligent. she can wield 4 weapons at once without trouble and strategise with ease. She also has the respect of her fellow classmates, though its hard not to hear the odd remark, sometimes from the students, sometimes from the teachers. Almost passive aggressive, half compliments. She knows that no matter how hard she works, it will only be good for a half breed. Highly competitive and enigmatic, she’s charismatic and is very caring beneath the career veneer. is very happy to help younger students and mentor. She has to make a lot of her own clothes due to her size and loves to sew and embroider. Loves sweets. -Jahida, the human sidekick From a great line of magicians, Jahida’s had admission to this school since birth, just because of her family name. she’s not mean with it though, she has a certain naivety that comes from being from a prestigious family. She’s sweet and caring, a middle sibling and obsessed with pyromancy. She loves explosions and gunpowder. she has a fairly good handle on her powers but is very interested in finding new ways to amplify and extend the reaction. She and shale bond through their love of explosives and machinery. Jahida has an odd sense of humour, dry and not often appreciated by those around her. She’s is fairly good at socialising though and her family name has weight in most circles. She and shale have gotten a few free meals through it. Jahida is also very generous with her allowance. - Lukah, the half elf/half human One of many of the descendants of the great human sorceress Imahn but the only one to take in hand the situation of the dementia (caused by a spell gone wrong cast by a jealous colleague) that’s reducing a once powerful woman to an old lady who often cannot recall her grandsons name. Most of her family are embarrassed by her. Lukah is the youngest of his branch. His mother is probably the wild one of the family, taking after her mother, a far looser way of raising children than is traditionally elven. His father being human, Lukah is far more liberal in his upbringing, having less prejudice against non-inherents. He takes after his grandmother in looks but his father in personality. Quite strict and tight-laced, an anxious young man but very kind, very smart. Never having a strong predilection to magic, he was happy to start a pharmacy within his grandmothers shop, using his knowledge of plants and their uses and his grandmother obvious talent for growing them (her talent before the spell). He collects and grows orchids and refuses to let his grandmother help with their growth. his boyfriend is a student at the university, though not for magic, he’s studying to be a lawyer. anyway all content and characters are mine, and im gonna work on this more when i have time! It’s such a fun universe to mess with.
