SCREEEEEEEEEEEECHING YES GOOD. Julie here with all my five:
RICTOR CASSUL (templars): 27yo holy knight and Korporal of the Silver Blades, the church's holy militia. A medieval jock, charming and friendly but can be a bit of a blunt judgmental asshole thanks to his black-and-white worldview. Devoutly Pharist, which can stand at odds with his brash swagger and flirtatious nature. A noble, plus younger brother to Aspel (weaponry) and older brother to Seloria (mesmerist). → Already set, listing him anyway. I will probably pester you this weekend for writin'. ♥
BRAM THORNTON (grever): 51yo dragoon and FG councilman of the past ~13 years. Sober, stoic, sombre, and takes absolutely zero shit. Has also been working in the EKP for all of his professional life, waging a slow and steady war on crime. He and his wife were a steady rock of stability within the guild until their teenaged son died last year, which has thrown them off entirely. → Dragoon! Leader! Trainer! I was thinking he could have trained Scarlet back in the day, and been like '8||| u coulda been a contender' re: her class choice? He's not as religiously judgmental as Ric, so his irritation usually comes more along the lines of, well, simply preferring if his trainees become dragons and Knights of the Peace.
WILHAM WOLFE (abstention): 41yo geomancer and former black mage. Used to run with the Black Lions, a mercenary company, before he slipslid into using dark magic which accidentally led to the death of his twin brother 3 years ago; he snapped right in half, went wandering looking for inner peace, transitioned to geomancer class and took up with a traveling group of altruistic Pharist adventurers named the Disciples. He’s a talkative intellectual, v. calm & zen, and dryly humorous to cover up his turmoil. → Dark magic! Plus he knows Lutheria and will eventually know Riv, and oddly enough, he and Scar have the same walkabout period. I already have him having met Jareth on the road so one more FK coincidence is probs too much, BUT I deeeefinitely do want to compare-contrast their ways of dealing with the Dark, their reasons for turning to it, etc.
MILES BAINES (mimicks): 33yo mime, Artful Dodger-esque leader of a group of thieves and bandits, all women. A flighty, self-serving rake who grew up on the streets & in a lower-class Pharist orphanage, though he’s agnostic. Older brother to Lionel (chivalries) and in tight with the more management types of the Thieves Guild. His many disguises and aliases include a noble identity ("Basil Norwood") which he uses to infiltrate noble events, typically to steal from them. → Grew up in Emillion, is friends with Riv! And a total asshole. He will probably aimlessly hit on Scarlet just because, but won't be serious about it bc 25 years is for some reason his cut-off point.
OFELIA ZHOU (consultancy): 38yo gambler (and former orator), essentially an information broker & private eye who ferrets out information for and from others. In tight with the Wilde Syndicate and harvests criminal connections accordingly. Wry and composed, distant and aloof, doesn't give off personal details much; she prefers to observe others than to engage herself. → Will soon get to know Riv but doesn't yet. UMM. idk. We can wing it.
