[Megilagor]

Name: Viole Integra
Age: 32
Gender; Male
Species: Human
Appearance: Viole is an average-height lean built young man, with dead eyes so to speak. His eyes are deep brown in color resembling roasted chestnuts, his hair most often worn in a long ponytail is brown, and it reaches up to his lower back.

Clothing: Mostly tight fitting and yet leaving him a lot of room to manoeuvre clothes, doesn’t care if his clothes come out as either masculine or effeminate, to him most important is comfort and ease of movement.

Occupation: Cook at a local diner most of the time, and when requested works as a male escort/bodyguard.
Education/training: High school diploma, Certified martial arts instructor [teaches his families martial arts and some common ones], Basic first aid, Magic Theory, Culinary school graduate
Likes: Training, cooking, spicy food
Dislikes: Extroverted people, when people have expectations of them,
Skills/Abilities: Cooking, Martial arts, Lifestyle magic, Big mana pool albeit the mana output is severely small thus limiting the types of magic he can cast but it allows him to sustain those which he can cast for a long time.

Personality:
Brutally honest, straightforward and free-spirited person is how you could describe Viole within three descriptors but of course, there is more to him than that. For starters he doesn't mind hurting people, he could care less honestly although he is never the one to start the conflict, Viole rarely shows his emotions leaving many to wonder if he is not emotionless, but he has his moments where his heart is on a sleeve and he gets overwhelmed by them, that's why you should never play poker against him he has a god-like poker face. He cares deeply for the few people who are there for him and don’t expect much from him, Viole even makes sure that they are rewarded for that in his own ways every once in a while.

Background:
Viole’s life wasn’t that exciting, yes he may have hailed from an upper-middle-class family of a well-known martial artist and an arcane professor and he was supposed to succeed them both in their respective fields when he grew up. So he grew up with a lot of expectations on him and little freedom, always studying and training but never a time to be himself.
That slowly began changing when his parents realized their little genius wasn’t up to their par, yes he might have learned martial arts and magic theory very fast and well and he might have a big mana pool, but what of it if his hits don’t pack a punch, and he can barely use lifestyle magic. After their realization, he was put on a back burner so to speak, with them trying to get another child, and yet Viole kept up their routine. Wanting to prove them wrong he tried for both the monster-hunting school and for a military academy, while he was rejected from the former, Viole was accepted in the latter, but he didn’t stay there long, for they carried the same expectations as his parents, in a fit of rage he beat up his direct superior into a coma and left. Soon after military police found him taking illegal substances near the base he was just in so they send him to prison for a while. After leaving he learned that he was disowned by his family and that he should never search for them as they moved houses, although they did leave him some money as to not appear as bad parents.
Nowadays he lives in a small apartment above the diner he works at as a cook.
Not wanting his martial arts prowess to go to waste he occasionally teaches people it, and on request escorts people for various occasions.

Any criminal history? Possession of drugs, and serious assault on a person resulting in a coma.

 

[TanteRegenbogen]

Name: Yashya "Yashi" Khushnavo Tulkyayol

Nicknames: Yashi/Puppetmaster

Age: 34

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Appearance: Yashi is slightly taller than the average woman. Her body form is voluptuous. She has green eyes with a dim glow to them and blond hair that had a reddish tint.

Enhancements: Magical tattoos all over her body to improve mana control proficiency, a "backup soul crystal" implanted in her head in the case of her death (yes she is that insane), various enhancements in her body using crystals and nightmarish body modification.

Clothing: At work when selling toys, she usually wears black leggings, pumps and a tunic or minidress. When crafting, she will put on black overalls and gloves. Otherwise depending on the occasion, she will wear leggings with a minidress, tight black pants with a blouse, turtleneck or long top or a long dress with a long cardigan. Sometimes wears overalls outside of work. Always wears black choker like in pic.

Occupation: Toymaker/Toy salesperson

Education/training: After finishing her secondary education in her home country, she went to study at the arcane university in the capital city of the empire. There she was a good student, but possibly a bit too ambitious. In her third year, she began to edge dangerously close to forbidden practices such as seeking to borrow books on the forbidden arts from the university library. She was finally kicked out of the university not only when they found evidence of her using forbidden magics but also her final thesis paper was titled "Soul Vessels, Life After Death and Enabling the Soul to Pass From the Aetherial Realm Back to the Realm of the Living". According to investigators, there was evidence she used death magic, blood magic and necromancy as well as misusing light magic and enchanting. She had to attend a court session, but charges were ultimately dropped. However her expulsion was final and she was barred from achieving employment with the university.

Likes: She is intrigued by the aetherial world as well as the workings of the world. Outside of her work, she enjoys the smiles of other people (children more than adults). She likes grilled salamander as food. Yashi regularly smokes darkwitch manaherb, a manaherb variant with a distinct smell said to be preferred by darkmagic users and shady people.

Dislikes: Alcohol, people who strictly follow rules, "religion based ethics" (as it hinders her work)

Skills: Yashi is a skilled "witch" who is proficient in light magic, enchanting, summoning and mana flow control. Her knowledge of the forbidden arts such as death magic, blood magic, abyssal magic and necromancy is extensive. Though she can't use death magic or blood magic without a catalyst. Her theoretical knowledge boils down to aetheriology, demonology, mechanical engineering, advanced enchanting studies and medical biology.

Abilities:
Most proficient magics: Light magic and enchanting.
Medium proficiency magics: Summoning, abyssal magic, necromancy
Basic proficiency magics: Death magic, blood magic, elemental magics

Most proficient physical skills: Mana flow control, hand to hand combat
Medium proficiency physical skills: Gunblade combat, marksmanship, carpentry, cooking
Basic proficiency physical skills: Fishing

Special ability: Can remotely control self-made wooden puppets including a six armed wooden replica of her.


Personality: Yashi is sly, intelligent and sociable. But also seems eerie at the same time. There is an aura about her that says that there's something wrong with her. Yashi is usually friendly, a bit seductive and playful. Even in stressful situations, she tends to be more level-headed than the average person might be. Nevertheless, she is dangerous and it is better to be her ally than her enemy. If she offers to improve your body and it isn't with light magic, say no. If she offers you eternal life, definitely say no. Angering her is a feat, but an angry Yashi will whip out some abyssal magic. She has a rather soothing voice and only has a slight Kharaantari accent. Though she will sometimes jokingly speak in a stereotypical Kharaantari fashion.

Background: Yashi was born in the distant backwater nation of Kharaantaristan. She lived there until she finished high school. Since she intended to learn at the arcane university in the distant empire. She took language courses in high school to be able to speak the main language of the empire for her future studies. Since she was from Kharaantaristan and wasn't top of her class, she was on the waiting list for entry in the arcane university. However she is relatively high up the list and was able to join soon after all. In the university, she consistently got high marks and was very active in the enchanting research department. But sometime during her time at the university, she became interested in darker studies. Due to her use of forbidden magics, abuse/misuse of light magic and enchanting and her immoral methodology, she was kicked out of the university and barred from seeking employment with arcane academia in the empire. She even went before court because of this, but the more serious charges were dropped and she only ended up with aforementioned punishments.

Soon after, she moved to Quarrytown, because she saw a job ad from a toymaker seeking "ambitious young people with skills in enchanting willing to create innovative toys". In Quarrytown, she found a small apartment in a longhouse like apartment complex in the Rim immediately after she got the job. She's now still at the job in the same position as she was when she started as it turned out the company only has five employees and the owner is an old elf who is very reserved when it comes to expanding the company. She has considered buying a stake in the company with her savings to be able to push the place to better times.

Any criminal history?: Use of forbidden magics (Death magic, Blood magic, Necromancy), Abuse/Unethical use of light magic and enchanting, resurrecting creatures that had been dead for more than a day, procurement of forbidden materials, suggestion of unethical practices for experimentation (human subjects)

Strong: Rakkis is quite muscular and can lift roughly 300 pounds.

Magical historian: Rakkis has an extensive knowledge of magic across history and knows many rituals and knows many ways to counter magic.
Sidenote: Knowing ways to counter types of magic does not alone grant him immunity or the instant ability to do so without taking proper measures.

Gravity Pole - the power poke is a 4 ft metal rod with the ability to absorb magic. The staff itself becomes much heavier as it fills with magic. Magic can be released from the ends of the staff with explosive bursts.

Personality - Rakkis used to be an angry nitpicky child who would get pissed off by even slight infractions. He preferred being alone and hated being around his two brothers. As he grew older, he began to control his anger more in the form of exercise. He also became more social but still has an anger issue that he sometimes struggles with.

Appearance - 3'8 ft. stout, very muscular dwarf. He's tan and has stone gray eyes and short black hair and a well trimmed beard. His wears loose fitted clothes with fancy embroidering and detail which is common among dwarves, but has a set of traditional scaled armor here and there. Though working his regular day to day job, He oftentimes wears loose fitted clothes for mobility.

Spoiler: Image

Background - Rakkis is the youngest of four. The eldest sibling is his sister Burtha. The most loyal and hard working and only daughter of Kharne the Wise, a influential politician. Kharne the younger is the most ambitious of four children. Ballur is the strongest of the four and Rakkis was the wisest. Burtha loved helping others and became a nurse. Kharne the younger saw fit to follow in his father's footsteps and has made great progress towards that goal. Ballur went into law enforcement.

Rakkis wanted to become a magical historian but unfortunately after achieving the level of education needed to fill that role he was denied his rightful place. He had spent years studying various forms of magic and its evolution throughout history and was frustrated with his current situation. He managed to easily get a job thanks to his father's influence and even got his own gym. It was not the ideal job but beggars couldn't be choosers. He accepted the offer and made good use of it.

He lived in a home on the outskirts of the rim. His home gave him a full view of quarytown. It wasn't much, but the home was his and he turned it into a beautiful rustic dwarven home. Though humble from first glance had a secret underground library roughly 2 floors below the earth's surface. A modest impressive library for an educated dwarf. His brother helped him get the library built in. Despite his nice home and good job, he mostly gets by from paycheck to paycheck.

[Spoiled Bread]

Name: Gunhild Belladona
Age: 49
Gender: female
Species: elf
Occupation: City cleaner
Education/training: 3 decades of druidic training and informal education.
Likes: Cola, insect, animal documentary, gardening, drill
Dislikes: The wilderness, milk, trash
Skills/Abilities:

• Druid magic
• Elemental magic (Especially earth and lightning)
• Plumbing
• Cleaning
• Wiring
• Driving
• Parkour

Personality: Gunhild is a laid-back and playful person, though whenever her social anxiety spikes up she would start panicking and retreat into her portable bush. While she is content with her current simple life her mother's words still haunted her to this day, occasionally pushed her to do things that she would not normally do.

Background: The city druid, a mysterious group of druids who keep the balance between the heart of civilization and the natural world that became its foundation. Armed with the skills to accomodate people, animals and plants alike, they oftenly tasked to guide a community into its highest potential without compronising its balance with nature... at least that was Ylva Belladona's vision when she created the druidic circle of concrete. She knew civilizayions would keep progressing and her ambitious mind saw an opportunity to becomes a powerful figure, but things didn't end up in her favor. The number of druids who were willing to share her vision were very low, the traditional circles saw them as heretical clowns and the capitalist of the cities saw them as nothing more than potential hindrance.

To avoid all the pressures, Ylva escaped far away from her homeland and settled in Quarrytown where she finally gave birth to Gunhild. The isolation and the rejections she experienced drive Ylva mad and she became hyper focused to make sure her successor have all she needs to become the figure in her vision. Thus start Gunhild's training to become the strongest druid, sort of. Gunhild is a quick learner and able to learn various skills from her mother, but due to her upbringing she lacks the favor from the nature spirits and acts almost more like an elementalist than anything else. Moreover, she lacks her mother's ambition and just wants a simple life. Realizing this, Ylva was heartbroken and one day she just vanished. Having her mother just packed her stuffs and gone like that, Gunhild was left to fend for herself. Since her mother had been forcing her to spend nearly all her time learning magic Gunhild was very lacking in her social skills at that time (and still is until this day), it took her weeks of living though diging trash cans and hunting rats until she finally managed to land a job that she still has to this day.

Any criminal history: vandalism of public property, illegal electricity and water tapping

Extra:

• She has an aligator pet named Baba and terrariums filled with bugs
• Currently lives inside one of the many abandoned sewer tunnels and carved a house for herself
• Can be seen sweeping the park or driving the garbage truck in the morning

 

[Darkbloom]

Name: Thomas Nth
Age: 40
Gender: male
Species: elf
Appearance:

Clothing: similar to picture, but imagine him wearing a convenience store outfit.
Occupation: convenience store lead (he has authority over regular employees but still answers to his boss)
Education/training: arcane scholar and wielder of elemental magic - water, air, fire, earth. Expert proficiency.
Likes/Dislikes: Thomas likes reading spell books of various levels to keep up his skills in case something exciting happens, he likes seeing the smiles on the faces of customers he is able to help, finding the answer to complex questions. Thomas dislikes the reputation his people have of being smug and dismissing of others, broccoli, bad hair days, criminals who get away with crimes.
Skills/Abilities: Thomas can control the elemental magics. He is good with a short bow, long bow, short sword, and long sword.
Personality: his personality is the opposite of what the text books claim elves to be, normally friendly although his daily expression looks like he hates this boring mundane life at the convenience store.
Background: Thomas excitedly applied for magic school, thinking he would excel in his field of elemental magic and get out onto the field to be able to fight and protect people. He was half right. He excelled in elemental magic but when he signed up for adventuring work, or the army, he was always turned away. So with much grief and despair, he applied to a convenience store that fit his skills in magic. It was a long process. Many of the bigger stores didn't want an elf. After eight months of searching Thomas found his current job.
Any criminal history? Nope. Thomas is a law abiding citizen.

[606]

Name
Fionnghan "Finn" Loganach

Age
25

Gender
Demiboy (he/they)

Species
Goblin

Appearance
Finn is about 4'6" and is slender but is decently toned. He has green skin with dark green fluffy short hair that his long point ears poke out of and has bright yellow eyes and lightly freckling over his body, which can only be seen on close inspection.

Clothing
He can quickly go from wearing a nice button-down shirt with a pair of slacks and vests to wearing old wash-out tee shirts with baggy pants when he isn't needed to be on the job. However, he has adapted to wearing more rugged jeans or slacks with a more casual polo or work uniform.

Occupation
Currently works at a hardware store and has been known to pick up shifts at a bar on the weekends.

Education/training
Graduated high school and went to a smaller college that had various military and partnered with police academies. He went through the program to first join the military but as it wasn't needed and he wasn't built for such a role not being very strong, it was suggested to go along the spy or detective route. Finn would do so having to stay a year longer in the academy only to pass but to fail to get a job as there wasn't much of a need for his role, so he was told. Yet there are some who do suspect racism but there is no strong evidence proving such.
He was trained in many different combatant skills such as hand-to-hand and various melee weapons (short swords, daggers, etc.), and more impressively was trained in the new firearms that have begun to rise in popularity. He has also been trained in basic survival skills that have become rusty over the years but he could survive for maybe a week in the woods.

Likes/Dislikes
Likes: Nightime, coffee (lots of coffee), snacking, people watching (not in a creepy way just, observing people and how they move and interact similar to a writer), binging shows
Dislikes: Breakfast, waking up early, people who are obviously showing off magical abilities, people who confuse luck and skill, being dismissed, people thinking he is a child

Skills/Abilities
Skills:

• Survivalist: Has gone through many classes and training to be suited to survive on his own without any aid or help including things like first aid, hunting, identifying safe plants to eat, and how to make or find slither, which has translated well into hardware.
• Hand to hand: While was trained and passed courses, he understands and knows the maneuvers of how to fight but lacks the strength to back it up, but can stand on his own for a little bit. Mostly he decided to focus on pressure points to maybe stun any foes long enough for him to run to either rest or get support.
• Melee weapons: Has a strong handle on a variety of melee weapons but is shown most proficient when using smaller weapons like daggers or hand crossbows. And if you felt spicy enough, some of this has translated well into learning various tools, and has a good grasp on how to use many tools, but still prefer a dagger over a screwdriver.
• Firearms: One of the few who graduated to have a license in firearms and still keeps it up but only owns one gun and is the weapon he is the best at using.
• Quick hands: He always had a knack for using his hands, showing a surprising skill at fine details and even learned how to pick locks, mostly to get into his own locker or his own home after misplacing keys, also turns out this is great for making drinks really fast.
• Smol benefits: Hiding became a useful skill as he could never always fight fairly one on one. He is not only small and can fit into small spaces but he is also very flexible and can fit into small and oddly shaped places if so needed. He is a pro at hide-and-seek.

Abilities

• Teleportation: He wasn't gifted with many magical abilities like other people except for this one, teleportation. However, it isn't as fine-tuned as his skills and takes a lot of work to do so, usually able to teleport once or twice before becoming sick or passing out.
• Enhanced speed: Whether or not this is magical or natural, he is faster than most other goblins and can even compare and can be faster than the "long-legged folks".

Personality
Not as magically gifted as many other people, he is an extremely hard and dedicated worker. However, because he worked most of his early years away he has very few friends and struggles to really open up to new people, all his friends he had in the academy have gotten jobs. He sacrificed a lot of his time to socialize to study instead and is very smart, ending up being more of a watcher and observer than to jump into situations. However, if he gets a feeling someone is in danger, he doesn't hesitate to jump into action, willing to throw himself into the path of danger even for a stranger.

Background
Born in the Rim of Quarrytown, he knew that to get what he wanted, he would have to work very hard. So he spent much of his early years dedicated to working hard in school, being top of his classes in order to barely make it into his dream program, having moved away for the time. He first tried to go into the military but was advised to take an extra year to go towards a detective, police, or spy route so he did just that only to be turned away from many jobs. Some suspect it might be racism but there was no evidence to prove so. Finn decided to move back home, able to afford a small apartment and took a job at a hardware store, and resettled back into the town.

Any criminal history?
None on record but has been called on for breaking into his own home or car since he keeps on losing his keys, people are just used to this by now though.
