Hello everyone! Now that we've finished revealing all the characters we'll be showing off over on our Bluesky, it's time for Tumblr to get caught up. Below the cut you can see our five protagonists and our deuteragonist. These are the same blurbs you can find on our Kickstarter page, which will officially release in about a week along with our map for ActualLizard's Map Design Game Jam, which you can find info about here!
All bios are presented as images for consistency with the Kickstarter page, but will have their text below for our friends who use screen readers and any others who might need a plaintext version.
Hotheaded and quick to act, Jo has a passion that burns as hot as the noon sun and holds her convictions as certain as the dawn's glow each morning. Her drive often lands Jo in trouble, and her bullheaded stubbornness frequently leaves her lacking anything that could be called tact. In this age of crisis, however, these traits might just make her exactly the kind of leader this world needs.
A quiet, skittish boy adopted first by the local clergy, and then by Jo and Aubrey. Frightening visions of possible futures haunt him, and the results of his often drastic efforts to prevent these terrible premonitions have been a major source of scorn and strife in his life. Despite the weight of his “gift” and all the hardship he has endured, he still seeks to return even the kindness he has received tenfold.
A huntress with the soft-but-hardy disposition of a dandelion, complete with the same need to scatter to the wind to survive. She feels a pang of envy when looking upon her friends, who have been able to set down roots in Eastknoll—but, out of love for them, she squishes that ugly feeling into the deepest recesses of her heart.
Miles’s stoney exterior matches the iron core within. An immigrant from Auchland, Jo’s unrelenting insistence of friendship chipped into that rough exterior and dragged him grumpily into the fold of friendship. He went off to the army to prove and improve himself (despite Crow’s warnings to the futility of it all), but when faced with the ultimate choice, he finds that not even his hardened heart can choose duty over family.
A bitter veteran of the never ending conflict between Harlan and Auchlan, this shady town drunk was pestered by Jo into sharing his knowledge of both combat and potent insults. Thrust back into conflict, Crow reluctantly plays the role of mentor even as he complains about the kids’ pure-hearted willingness to sprint into danger, but the fact that he stays by their side regardless belies some amount of care… Probably.
Artur M. Corvell is the Crown Prince of Auchlan, but more importantly, he is the center of a great prophecy. He is The Hero, the chosen champion of the Holy Dragon and eventual slayer of the Shadow Dragon. Raised from birth under this prophecy, Artur has become a hero down to his very core. His faith in himself and his cause are unshakeable… though a chance encounter with a hard-headed hot-blooded peasant woman may yet change everything.
Thank you for reading! We'll have more to show you very soon.
