Description: This man wears loose pants and a collared shirt complete with sweater beneath his coat, and sports empty pouches on his belt. His silver crest has been sun bleached extensively. His red eyes lackadaisically let the world flow into them.

Personality: He has a massive crush on the younger sibling of the Mortician who has hired him part-time. 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, Direcris is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He was born to a wealthy landowner in a frontier town, living a normal and happy childhood. A gifted student he started as a Bowyer, but he got bored and became a Mortician.

Motivation: He is terrified, and will act out of fear; and wants his loneliness to end

Personality: She is happy with her job as a Spice Merchant. She turns her eye from what people do, preferring to live and let live. She is a ruthless business woman, a trait she acquired from her father.

History: She was raised in a mountains tribe. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Thava took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up greatsword and armor she uses now. By chance she met her sister recently and the two have been together since.
