Description: A hulking woman with gigantic muscles, she wears a black cloak and cross-gartered brown stockings. She wears a Stetson hat to cover her moderate length black hair. Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: She is fixated on the number 8. She counts her steps and bites of food to keep in track with it. She seems to be used to being ignored and not questioned about it. She invented a lineage for herself and claims to be descended from several legendary heroes.

History: She was always a brilliant, if unscrupulous mind. She dropped out of school before completing her studies. She has recently gotten a pet goose that steals things from people.

Motivation: To prove her worth to the world; and obtaining odd cultural human artifacts is her passion

Personality: He is quite gentle and does not know the full extent of his strength. He works very hard to maintain that gentleness. He has a habit of throwing himself into exceedingly dangerous situations.

Description: A man with a friendly, welcoming air about him, he dresses well, typically a more casual-formal manner. He sports a flattop hair cut. His face possesses mild wrinkles. His smile is extraordinarily sincere though he does not smile often.

Personality: He is almost excessively polite to everyone, even when angry. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Heian is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He was raised in a forest tribe. He was an adventurer many years ago and he formed a blood bond with his Gnomish companion (his 'brother'). He remains aloof and afraid to be himself due to all the ideals others have placed upon him.

Outside of the suit he wears a shirt that is too small, which lets his gut show, with a ratty green coat over it. His hair is short and chestnut. Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

Personality: He has schizophrenia that causes him to hear things that aren't there and will sometimes respond to them. Flattery will make him almost putty in your hands.

History: He was born with several neurological imbalances, which makes sleep difficult for him. It may also be what makes him so good at details.
