ALTAIR
A pirate captain who lost his crew to mutiny and is trying to rebuild, he's currently lost at sea and adrift without his usual magic. As a spellsong, Altair doesn't need to cast using the traditional methods, instead able to use his voice alone... shame a siren cursed him to turn his songs into a siren's call.
Now searching for a way to undo the curse while running out of time to get back to the safety of their home shores, Altair and his crew are in dire straits... quite literally, as the treacherous waters they're in are known as the Dire Straits.
Upbeat and energetic, flirtatious and outgoing, Altair is easy to get along with and chat to, but has a ferocious temper beneath that laidback demeanor. He prefers to avoid trouble and tries to keep his temper in check... to only occasional success.
ANASTASIA ÉVE RAELLE
Only daughter of the noble Raelle family, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and yet still somehow manages to be the most difficult woman to put up with. She's currently fiercely devoted to trying to live a totally average and normal life away from all the stress of being a noblewoman; she just wants to take her money and run, and is trying to make that a reality.
The truth is that there's more to her than meets the eye... but what exactly is she hiding? Some of her words and phrases seem to be ridiculously modern in comparison to her more typical fantasy roots...
Anastasia is prone to wearing her heart on her sleeve and her bizarre expressions on her face. She sees no reason to censor herself or tone down her off-putting personality, as she's never needed to before. She can get away with damn near anything, being a noblewoman, and she will make use of that for all she's worth.
LLYR OF THE KINGSBLOOD
King of the fae and damn proud of it, Llyr has never once set foot outside of their realm to see the rest of the world. Why would they? There are humans out there! Humans and fae have always been at odds, and with the threat of war looming on the horizon, Llyr's perfectly content to have things stay just as they are, without ever looking to an uncertain future.
The truth is that Llyr isn't really the one who was supposed to be King. Two of the Kingsblood were created this time, and the other fae was to become the King, only for them to agree with Llyr to have Llyr crowned instead. Knowing that they aren't the true King, Llyr has a massive chip on their shoulder about their status.
Flirtatious and curious, with a mean streak and a desire to just have a damn good time in life, Llyr wants things to stay exactly as they are. They love their life. Why would they ever want that to change? They need to make sure their friend stays silent about the truth...
MOBY (REN AZIROV)
A former nobleman in competition to take up the title of Lord of his territory, Ren abruptly abandoned his position, changed his name, and joined up with a guild for no explained reason. He left his beloved sister behind and didn't even give her an explanation. He still refuses to talk about his past or why he did any of this. But why care about that when you can live in the moment?
The truth is that Moby has ties to the Deity of Destiny, Yzros, who eternally resurrects Moby for their own amusement. Remembering his previous lives, he chose to forego his current one so as to avoid the pain of getting close to others and losing them again.
Jaded and apathetic, hidden behind a cheery facade, Moby is just going through the motions now. He sees no real point in trying to fight Yzros's control of his life, because how exactly are you supposed to fight a god? So he doesn't, and so his life will eventually end only for him to be reborn yet again.
TEÀRLACH AINSLEY
Exalt (monarch) of their country and well on their way to becoming a tyrant. Teàrlach couldn't care less about that, because what truly matters is that they're in control. Ruling Sceih Lor with an iron fist is the least of their worries. They have a dangerous situation on their hands with the neighboring country, after all; if they aren't careful, war might break out between the two powers and it's a war that Sceih Lor will likely not win.
Abused and treated poorly as a child, Teàrlach has taken to heart the message that if you can have power, you must seize it for yourself. They led a bloody conquest through the previous royal family to claim their place and killed their aunt-slash-advisor to ensure they wouldn't be used by anyone else.
Cold, calculating, and cautious, Teàrlach is both paranoid and desperate to have some manner of control because they never did while growing up. Desperate to keep their power, they'll do anything to ensure no one ever steps on them ever again.
YZROS, DEITY OF DESTINY
The Deity of Destiny is one of the gods of the world of Aelios. Yzros specifically governs the fates of mortals and delights in watching them struggle against overwhelming odds. They find mortals truly fascinating and absolutely adore them - but in the way one adores watching ants go about their duties, and burns them with a magnifying glass when they're bored enough.
Their current favorite is Moby, a mortal they have put through all sorts of harrowing situations, just to see how he reacts. Earning the eye of the Deity of Destiny is not a blessing at all, as they are not content to simply let one live without their interference.
Massively curious and inquisitive, they like learning and exploring the world around them, though they are stubborn and set in their ways and beliefs. They love a good story or a good show, but dislike it when they are proven wrong. Contradictory and petulant, Yzros will use their power as they see fit, regardless of who is hurt by it.
