well don't twist my arm or anything <3 (warning: oc rambles beneath the cut)
meet the queer historian adventuring party emotional support group! their resolve is all slowly being whittled away and their group chat is insane <3
Clementine Verity!
Tiefling
Archaeologist, specialty: Solesian Monarchy
Necromantic Wizard Level 4
She says she's going to kill Arthur Aguefort at least once a day and she does truly want to but she's never gonna actually do it. she's also constantly two steps away from sending him a strongly worded letter to let her go invisible in the past for like an hour
she's the one writing the fic asdklfjjklasdfh
Lesbian
grew up in Ashgrove, moved to Elmville after going to college
very very interested in the intersectionality of the solesian monarchy but also like. gets so distracted by the minutiae
"clementine isn't this paper about the tapestries?" "yeah why" "you've gone on about the presence of embroideries in grave sites.." "oh. oh shit that's not. that's not that relevant D:" "nope"
entirely honestly like everyone else here half the spell levels were picked up by necessity for the craft and the other half were just from studying a bunch of spellcasters
Mimi Keenvale
Lightfoot Halfling
Linguistic Anthropologist (especially Common and Halfling and what hybrid languages have come out of them)
Divination Wizard Level 4
"excuse me they asked for no pickles" type energy. honestly for their personal research their skin is clear their crops are watered they have a wonderful sample set around them
she's clementine's partner also
mimi's kind of just along for the ride. she works with evie a lot though because both of their work kind of takes them to a bunch of different places (being the two non-archaeology based of the group
Evelear Lorawynn
High Elf
Cultural Anthrologist (currently very invested in how towns nearby the Necronomicron work)
Divine Soul Sorcerer Level 4
evie <3
immigrant to Solace after being a teenager and spending like. three years in Kei Lumennura. she needed stimulation and to learn things so she went to a nonstatic nonadventuring college
their token straight (she's very much not cis) (she/he pronouns and also she can only explain his gender in elvish that is somehow entirely untranslatable even through a comprehend langauge)
he's married to a lovely half-elf (they all think his name is richmond but nobody's actually sure) she met here in solace and somehow every time there's an unplanned group call they're trying to have a date night
very much "nora baby are you back in the temple again?" "(anguished) I'M BACK IN THE TEMPLEEEE" "oh, god... well babe i gotta go stop my friends from tearing out their hair and skin besides"
so put together and then he misses one (1) trance and it's entirely "aren't you tired of being nice? don't you just want to go apeshit??"
Nora Matthews
Human
Archaeologist (Focus on the [Ancestral] Giant Pantheon) (most specifcally Ankarna but she is also intensely invested in the Fall Sibling as well)
Circle of the Moon Druid Level 4
Worshiper of the Raven Queen
she's so close to breaking down sobbing at kristen applebees' feet if she ever meets her. what do you meannnnnn you and your friends revived TWO gods??? over your SCHOOL BREAKS??? she's been trying to get to fallinel the past year and a half since Cassandra's name reappeared
was so close to being shatterstarred well and truly she spends so much time in that goddamn temple and when she saw the name reappear. i fear she began sobbing and proclaiming she was going to "destroy the building with her own two horns" before turning into a ram and needing to be restrained by the rest of the group
there's a reason their groupchat is named "i'm back in the fucking temple"
she's been trying to figure out who ankarna was for 17 years
polyam, two partners (neither of which are in this field)
Jotar Bonesweaver
Dwarf
Archaeological Anthropologist (specifically burial practices around Spyre)
Necromantic Wizard, Level 2; Grave Cleric Level 2
Worshipper of the Raven Queen
joey!
she's from Mount Shieldgaze
has the interesting experience of Hates How Hair Feels but also Knows Hair Is Important To Identity so. she's playing with it (she is actively in her. 40s)
very tense relationship with clementine. they're besties but also if You Touch My Stuff I'll Kill You <3 they work really closely together out of the six of them, along with Vera, so it happens. vera ends up being the mediator and they are so tired of this bullshit
She and Nora pray together! absolute asscrack of dawn praying time and if the whole group is together at least one person's going to wake up grumbling because they can hear them from the next room before remembering Oh That's My Friends and falling back asleep
"I know Kalvaxus was like a pretty bad guy but seriously i think he was onto something with that poison tea do you think if we brought poison tea into that fuckass school aguefort would drink it"
Vera Willem
Human
Archaeologist (Solesian History) (Also invested in the monarchy but more interested in the spread of different inventions)
Spirits Bard Level 4
Harbours an intense hatred for Arthur Aguefort that fae's never acted on but dear LORD does he want to sometimes
she settles for meaningless threats. "i'm going to blow up that entire school just to get these fuckass adventurers out of the way they keep killing my interviewees" "vera you can't murder that many children" "shit"
Harroway Bay originally, moved to Bastion City for college and then to Elmville where she met Clementine and Mimi
they're solidly the middle ground person of the group and god do they hate it
