Hi Ruby! My name is Maaya (cirque) and welcome to Emillion! I have this motley crew here, let's drum up some lines...
Ari (gracenotes) is a bard, a social butterfly, gives zero flying monkeys about Pharism or dark magic (live and let live, this one), and tends to be cheerfully trolly. She and Riv get on pretty well, being fellow trolls. She's also involved with Aspel so... possible connect???
Juliette (clearyourmind) is a bb noble who is taking her monk class exam next month. She may have heard about the debacle when Scarlet came out of the fell knight closet? She's fairly Pharist and very proper, but kind of conflicted on fell knights (she had an accidental mentor whom she really came to love who was fell - who left recently). Expect awkwardness and stammering. I mean, Riv hits on her just because it horrifies her, so.
Cian (thebettingsort) is a gambler, a mob boss, and a giant freaking douchebag (he and Riv ar bros, natch). He's got an eye for pretty blonde ladies but might not go for one who would overpower him due to Extreme Paranoia. He also doesn't give a damn about fell though, so there's that!
And finally, Peony (blackmagicks) is a black mage, a Mages' Guild councilor, and a living saint (whoops). She's super devout and very zen, I kind of expect that Scarlet would sneer at her a lot, BUT I AM OPEN TO IDEAS?????
