}}'''Director Armand Carthwright''', sometimes simply referred to as '''The Director''' is an equine [[Races|kindred]] nobleman serving as the current director of the [[Outerworld Division]]. He hails from the prestigious Carthwright noble lineage, who are responsible for the founding and management of the OWD.

== Personality ==
Once aloof and nonchalant, a more recent incident has made him far more serious and imposing. He runs a tight ship, and refuses to let cracks show in the OWD’s work. Dedicated to a fault. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty if necessary.

== Biography ==
Armand's father is the younger brother of the Outerworld Division's previous Director. As the younger sibling, he is head of the board of directors for the embassy. Armand grew up training under [[Kaede Hiolne]], as all of his relatives were expected to. Despite not taking well to his mentor, Armand became a competent fighter with a sharp wit. As he became older, he grew disillusioned with his nobility and wanted a wilder, less boring lifestyle for himself. He left [[Eversun City|Eversun]] in pursuit of this life, opting only to reappear for holiday obligations. While his family often found his antics and reputation a stain on their legacy, he maintained a healthy relationship with his younger relatives, especially [[Nelly Carthwright|Nelly]].

One day during his travels, a missive with the family seal arrived on his doorstep, announcing the passing of the Director. Soon after he was escorted back to Eversun City, where the old guard were discussing how best to proceed. As Nelly was too young to take the position, and as the logistical issues of shuffling family members from one position to another presented themselves, one person suggested that Armand step into the role. Despite his protests, Armand was officially inducted into the role in 1207.

Armand shuffled through the first few years of his tenure recklessly, forcing many under him to pick up the slack. The nonchalant energy he'd carried throughout his life proved difficult for many to work with. Issues festered until an incident left Armand within inches of his life. In 1216, as Nelly was beginning to shadow Armand in preparation for her new role as secretary, a series of unusual reports from the town of Lilium resulted in Armand taking her and several squadrons to the town to investigate. By the time they had arrived, however, much of the town's surrounding area had already been corrupted. The OWD worked quickly to evacuate as many people as possible, but attacks from the beckoned made it grueling and dangerous. After the town had been evacuated, a monarch appeared in the square, forcing Armand and Nelly to fight for their lives. It was the actions of a dear friend and captain, who doubled back after noticing their absence from the returning parties, that spared their lives at the cost of her own.

The incident left Armand bedridden for weeks and without his right eye, but the scars were far more than physical. Armand coming face to face with the nightmares his subordinates went up against every day left him a changed man. As soon as he could stand again, he locked himself away in his office and began reading through every single document the division had available. He also brought Nelly in as soon as she became available, convincing her to remain in her secretary position while he hunted the creature that had ravaged him and taken his best friend. Indeed, Armand still believes the creature that took his eye is still out there wandering Castrella. While many in his ranks believe it was too injured to have gone far, a body was never found and Armand has been chasing its ghost ever since. He is dead set on finding it and maintains a corkboard of evidence in his office.

== Trivia ==

* He’ll never show it because he’s not one to gloat, but he’s rather proud of having been involved in the division for as long as he has without getting corrupted. He knows how difficult that is.
* His eyepatch is woven from the repurposed armband of the old friend that died during the incident.
* He is not as forgetful as Nelly, but is still unlikely to stay on task if she is not there to keep him focused.

== Personality ==
Sweet, bubbly, and energetic under normal circumstances. Kind hearted and brave, with a strong sense of justice. Desires to lend help to those in need. Looks on the bright side, and always looks for the best in people, making her naïve to a fault. Good with the jokes.

While hunting or searching, she is much more reserved and focused. She's capable in these moments, and the silly veneer melts away. We don't see this Hyalt very often. She uses these moments to reflect and organize her thoughts.

== Biography ==
Hyalt was born to [[Calliope Keylen|Calliope]] and Alwen Keylen in the town of Lilium. Calliope was a researcher for the [[Arcane Sciences Division]], and Alwen an archer for the [[Wayfarers' Division]]. Hyalt does not remember much of her early childhood, but remembers her mother quite fondly, gaining an appreciation for the art of dance from her.

At the age of five, Hyalt strayed from the village some ways. She encountered a small pocket of whimsy energy and subsequently became corrupted. After she was found by her mother and taken back home, she developed some worrying symptoms from this— a high resistance to pain, a tendency to spin everything into a positive light whether it needed it or not, nausea, some mild hallucinations, and some ''very'' concerning skin rings on her left arm. Worried sick for her daughter, Calliope set out to find a way to cure— not manage, ''cure''— the symptoms that were now plaguing her daughter.

Unfortunately, Calliope never returned home. Fearing the worst had befallen his wife, Alwen took his daughter out west to an isolated part of his homeland in Sil’va, leaving his position in the Guild in the process to become an independent hunter. Before leaving, he raided Calliope's office and stocked up on some supplemental medicine to help Hyalt manage her symptoms.

Hyalt lived out the rest of her childhood in Sil'va in relative comfort. Despite this, she came to resent the isolation. Eventually, after thirteen years, something inspired her to leave home. She’d heard tales of an adventurer’s guild— ''[[Adventurers' Guild|the Hearth]]''— in [[Eversun City|Eversun City,]] and she set her heart upon going there to join them. On the eve of her 18th birthday, Hyalt set off on her own in the dead of night. Armed with nothing but a bow crafted by her father, a handful of arrows, and some other basic camping equipment, she made her way to Eversun alone and joined the guild with [[Creative Commons Division|Creative Commons]]. While it did not take her out of the city much, and it was not the adventure she was seeking, Hyalt made countless connections and learned a number of skills, and spent much of her spare time exploring the Hearth searching for any clues to her mother's whereabouts.

In 1229, Hyalt began to have strange dreams concerning her mother. Sometime after this, she chanced to meet a researcher that worked with her mother, [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]]. Hanze gave Hyalt a letter from Calliope which explained that she would be leaving the Hearth without resigning from the guild, essentially disappearing. He also gifted her her mother's old ID card and armband, as well as a photograph that she had kept on her desk-- the ''only'' photo Hyalt now has of her.

Shortly after this encounter, Hyalt decided to transfer to the Wayfarer’s Division, returning to classes to do so. She now takes quests that will take her as far and wide across Castrella as possible, in the hopes that one day she will cross paths with her mother.

* Voice Claim: Fairouz Ai
* In her spare time, Hyalt will read. She likes to read fantasy and romance novels (occasionally the more erotic ones.)
** She will also seek out and read her mother's old ASD research. Initially, she does this hoping for clues on what her mother was working on before she left; after some time, however, she simply begins doing it to feel closer to her.

}}'''''Monica Holst''''' is a [[Races|Kindred]]-Errant member of the [[The Adventurer's Guild|Adventurer's Guild]]'s [[The Outerworld Division|Outerworld Division]], serving as one of its scouts.

== Personality ==
Monica is an excitable, easily distractable individual. During missions, she maintains an air of stoicism, though this is easily seen through thanks to the fact that she regularly emotes with her whole body. Her ears and tail are also notably expressive and usually give away front she attempts to put up. When focused, Monica becomes notably nonverbal, opting to point or use basic sign language to communicate. This can also happen when she is stressed, though this is more often because she is attempting to hide signs of whimsy corruption and the influence of a monarch on her speech.

== Biography ==
Monica Holst was born 22 years ago, in the small town of Lilium on the border of Dizajni and Sungluc. At the age of 8, her town was consumed by an expanding wave of [[Arcane Energy|whimsy]] aspected aether. Many were evacuated by the Adventurer’s Guild, and specifically the Outerworld Division, as the worst of it came to pass and her town was lost. As the OWD activated the containment field around what was once her town, Holst vowed to join the OWD when she became of age.

Monica applied for the Adventurer’s Guild at 18. One year later, she’d passed EDA's qualification tests with flying colors and immediately applied to become a scout for the Outerworld Division. She’d chosen a scythe– a rather dangerous and unconventional weapon– as her weapon of choice, and trained under [[Raelynn Aquamor|Rae]] to earn her license for it.

While she'd joined with benevolent purposes-- to help those in need-- Monica also had personal designs on gaining access to her old home in Lilium. She was finally sent there during her fourth rotation. During the course of the mission, Monica discovered her old home among the ruins and retrieved a small stuffed doll she'd left behind while the rest of her squad moved ahead to investigate the area. Upon leaving the house, however, Monica found that the group was being attacked by whimsy-touched monsters and rushed to aid them. She would be too late, and as a result would be the only survivor of the incident. She attempted to fight the monsters that had attacked her squad, but was quickly overwhelmed and nearly defeated, her PPE taking significant damage during the ensuing fight. Towards the end, cornered and overwhelmed, Monica reached out for the doll she'd retrieved and unknowingly entered into a pact with a monarch. Her resulting affinity for whimsy magic saved her life, allowing her to leave the fight unscathed and return home.

Upon returning home to rest, Monica’s physical and mental health deteriorated for a time and she became violently ill. After the trauma of watching her compatriots violently die and being touched by whimsy, she took an extensive leave of absence, during which she reported struggling to keep food down and intense fever nightmares.

Though Monica made a miraculous recovery and has since returned to the field, she still reports nightmares and mild chronic headaches and nausea from time to time. Therapy sessions have helped her cope with the loss of her teammates, but her psychologist has made notes of Monica saying that she feels “called” by something outside of her understanding. Other team members have also commented on erratic behavior after the use of her abilities, which is usually difficult to detect thanks to her more normal nonverbal disposition while on assignment.

One night, after a nightmare drives her to the edge of a panic attack, Monica finds herself staring into her bathroom mirror. There, she finds the reflection is not her own; she finds herself face to face with a monarch named [[Parvuli Sadis|Parvuli]], who informs her that she is the being she formed a pact with during her incident in Lilium. Since then, the two have formed an antagonistic, yet cooperative relationship with one another.

Monica's whimsy corruption remained unreported to the guild until Patchwall 20th, 1230, when the newly revealed Trainsportation System was commandeered and brought to life by [[Lil' Red]]. To aid in the subjugation of [[Loco Motion]] and Lil' Red, Monica used her portal magic to guide the train towards a trap created by [[Eisen Grimm]]. This resulted in her whimsy corruption becoming public knowledge.

== Contributions ==

* In addition to monetary donations to the [[Valhalla Project]], Monica can often be found reading stories to the children of the district, filling in for [[Korin Altair|Korin]] when he's out.

== Abilities ==
Through her ice aspect, Monica is able to summon and throw spears of ice like javelins. It is among her most commonly used spells, and though she does not utilize it often, she's become quite good at hitting her marks. She is also capable of making ice bridges and walls, provided there is water to freeze.

Monica's special abilities come from her pact with Parvuli. She is capable of slicing open portals between two open spots in reality with her scythe (or any other blade), provided she can either see the location or is familiar with its layout. She also has the ability to quickly shift her position short distances, as long as the path is not blocked. She uses this ability to effortlessly dodge attacks. Using either of these abilities makes her feel nauseous and slowly advances her corruption.

== Trivia ==

* Voice Claim: Cassandra Lee Morris
* Monica is represented by the Cyclone emoji, a reference to her use of whimsy portals.
* She does not hold alcohol well and will get plastered after just a few drinks. She's very cuddly like this!
* One of Monica's symptoms of her corruption includes pastel colored rings that appear in random locations around her body when she uses her magic. These will also appear when she is feeling embarrassed or flustered.
* Another of Monica's symptoms is a star shape appearing in her left eye when she is casting. This effect can linger afterwords or appear when she is feeling ill due to her corruption.
* Monica is a himejoshi and loves reading GL light novels.

Alwen Keylen
| Creator = [[User:Ethanwoopdedoo|Ethanwoopdedoo]]
| Artist Credits = [[User:Ethanwoopdedoo|Ethanwoopdedoo]]
}}

== Personality ==
Calliope has a personality similar to her daughter [[Hyalt Keylen|Hyalt]], although slightly more reserved. She has an elegance to her speech, almost always speaking in proper sentence structure. Despite this, she has a kind heart, and only wishes the best for the people in her life.

== Biography ==
Calliope was born Calliope Walstrop in the town of Lilium in 1177, and along with one little sister, Genevieve.

She joined the guild at 20 after focusing her studies towards Arcane Sciences. There, she mets [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] and [[Micaiah Finch]].

Sometime between 23-25, she mets Alwen Keylen. The duo eventually married and had one child together, Hyalt, in 1204. Sometime after this, she moved back to Lilium to raise Hyalt, but set up a smaller satellite office at Lilium's Guild Outpost and makes semi-frequent visits to Eversun to submit research and catch up with old friends.

At 32, an accident occured which left Hyalt corrupted. Her visits to Eversun became longer and more frequent for the next eight months while she dove headfirst into research on curing corruption.

Some time later, something she was working on caused her to contract aether corruption, making her research even more urgent.

Then, the fire in Micaiah's district occured, and one of her best friends went missing.

After this, she gave some of her belongings to Hanze, filed the last of her research while taking other important documents, and left in the dead of night.

She made one last pit stop in Lilium to say goodbye to her daughter, and to tell her that she will come back when she has a cure.

It has been nearly twenty one years since this incident, and no one has seen a trace of her since.

== Contributions ==
Many research papers on aether and a few on whimsy which seem to be missing from the archives these days.

== Relationships ==
(All extremely placeholdery. If your guy is old enough to remember her going missing approximately 21 years ago they might know her. Get in contact with me to clear this up or add to it pls and thank u ily)

=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ===
Hanze is one of the first friends and research partners Calliope makes in the guild. She consistently used him as a springboard for her research. Despite his irritable personality, the two get along well, and she comes to admire him as a friend and fellow researcher.

She hopes that her sudden disappearance has not caused him too much pain.

=== [[Micaiah Finch]] ===
Micaiah was the archivist to whom Calliope submitted much of her research. Similarly to Hanze, Calliope managed to break through her cynical exterior to find a valuable friend. The two would often meet in Hanze's office to discuss their findings and catch up with each other. Her disappearance spurs many of Calliope's longstanding doubts about the guild to the surface, and triggers her own disappearance two weeks later.

She hopes that she made it out of the fire alive and is still out there doing well enough to teach her how to brew a cup of coffee.

=== [[Hyalt Keylen]] ===
Her very own daughter, her pride and joy, whose photos she shoved into the face of anyone who would listen. Calliope hopes that she was a good mother to her for the brief time they were together, and hopes that Alwen raised her well without her.

She hopes to one day reunite with her and finish the research she once started side by side.

=== [[Ulvultar Ballahast]] ===
[Academic beef I need to clear up with Egg at some point]

She hopes Legos are invented one day just for him to step on.

Personal Protective Equipment

2026-03-01T03:43:45Z

Ethanwoopdedoo: Created page for PPE. Currently just a start, will be reviewing information from our discussion to potentially add soon. Special thanks to Dizzi for helping me put this together!!

'''Personal Protective Equipment''' refers to clothing or armor designed to protect its wearer from hazardous items, materials, and environments. While it is commonly used today to refer to the anti-[[Corruption|corruptive]] suits worn by [[:Category:Outerworld Division|members]] of the [[Outerworld Division]] (OWD), other types of PPE do exist as well.

== Types of PPE: ==

=== Aetheric Respirators ===
An aetheric respirator is a mask which contains two chambers in it which filter both aether and other impurities from the air the wearer encounters and breathes. While it was originally created for preventing its wearers from intaking harmful contaminants from the air, it has since been readapted and improved upon for other purposes. The main purpose for each model, however, remains the same: to support those working in or around environments that do not have adequate ventilation.

One of the better adapted models of the aetheric respirators has since found a home within the OWD for the members who desire extra protection alongside their specialized PPE from the [[Arcane Energy#Chaotic Elements|chaotic elements]]. It is a unique version of the model that has been manufactured for OWD by bearing specialized filters and [[Arcane Energy/Vessels#Runes|runic]] [[Arcane Energy/Vessels#Crystals|stones]] embedded on the chamber hatches to avoid further corruptive infiltration during their missions.

=== Chaotic Aether Resistant Suit ===
The Chaotic Aether Resistant Suit (sometimes referred to as a ‘’'''CAR Suit'''’’ or simply as PPE) is a type of PPE developed by the Outerworld Division in collaboration with [[Arcane Sciences Division|Arcane Sciences]] to protect its members while traversing corrupted environments or handling materials infused with chaotic aether.

===== CAR Suit Ensemble: =====
The suit consists of several pieces, including a bodysuit made from rubber and pressed steel, a face mask (often made from a thin material, but sometimes substituted for a modified aetheric respirator), a clear mesh veil, a pair of goggles, and a series of runic stones connected by conductive aetheric rope. The suits are standardized and mass produced, but exist in a number of form factors to account for features of all [[races]], including material for containing appendages such as: wings, tails, horns, or other extremities, as well as accounting for all sizes.

The suit is made to be easily modified, allowing for the addition of pauldrons (or other types of armor), belts, and any other additions to be made. They also come in a variety of colors for allowing a certain level of customization.

The runic stones used to dampen the effects of chaotic aether are tied to the suit with green aetheric rope. Each stone carries a protective rune which dampens the effects of chaotic aether on the body, while still allowing the wearer to channel their own aether. The stones must be recharged after each excursion. If a rope is severed during the course of an excursion, holes may form in the ward, allowing chaotic aether to slip through. The suit itself is made to combat this, but can only do so much alone. It is recommended that scouts and other combatants minimize contact with monsters as much as possible.

==== Ranking and Discerning Members ====
It is important for members of OWD squadrons to be able to discern their captains out on the field with ease in case of reports or emergencies, so a captain’s PPE will be outfitted with some notable augments that announce their rank. These augments will not be so flashy as to get in the way of their work, but may include items like medals, suit embroidery, or metal chains around their person. There are a variety of options that the squadron captains can opt in and out of, but for the most part, will remain uniform for ease of appearance.

This can also be reflected similarly in the standard uniform in non-OWD division suits that are meant for flagging down the right professionals for assistance efforts during missions and/or rescues. Either by their suit assigned colors or respective role markers.

=== Aetheric Wetsuits ===
Aetheric wetsuits are a type of swimwear that was first produced and developed by the underwater guild known as [[Elix'ren|Elix’ren]] in order to guarantee safer travels when dealing with both underwater occurrences, and even some land experiences for the [[Races#Submatarius|submatar]] race that has since extended to the rest of the world of [[Castrella]] with various modified editions.

==== Deep Sea Excursion Gear ====
This suit contains a metal cylinder etched with [[Arcane Energy#Wind|wind]] and [[Arcane Energy#Water|water]] runes to serve as a functional oxygen tank for the wearer. It is specially built for longer periods of time of the wearer being submerged deep underwater. However, for ''most'' submatarius they can forgo this addition to their deep sea suits and gear.

The suit itself is made out of both a breathable waterproof fabric and thick but flexible rubber to help the wearer safely travel through the deeper parts of the ocean to further mitigate damage to their bodies when brushing alongside foreign oceanic material. [[Arcane Energy#Earth|Earth]] bound glowing runic stones are carefully secured into the fabric across the whole body in order to create a natural counter vibration against the water pressure deep sea explorers will regularly face underwater. It is made to temporarily alleviate the pressure for an extended period of time. Glowing stones will begin to flicker when they need to be recharged, and it is imperative the explorer either returns to or leaves the deeply water pressured area within 6 hours to recharge their suit accordingly lest they be crushed immediately.

=== Other PPE ===
Other yet to be documented PPE includes those that deal with extreme circumstances of '''aspected weather''' or heavy temperatures that could drastically injure a Castrellan. Rest assured the [[Archivist Division]] is working on it!

'''''Nova Holland''''' is a penguin kindred working as a healer for the [[Wayfarers' Division]]. She is regarded as rather soft spoken, but is always curious and willing to seek out adventure, despite her timid nature.

== Appearance ==
Nova is a female lesser kindred of the fairy penguin, the smallest species of penguin. As such, she stands at only 4’10”, and while she does have wings and a tail, they are often concealed by her clothing, leading her to frequently be mistaken for a human. She has a habit of covering her mouth when laughing, as she is self conscious of her sharp teeth. Her plumage is the same navy blue as her hair, which she wears short and straight in an angular bob with a gradient to a lighter blue at the ends of her hair. She has very pale, fair skin, silvery gray eyes, and is considered ‘pear-shaped,’ with a smaller bust and larger hips. Nova is a lolita fashion enthusiast and can often be seen in a variety of different dresses and skirts, but almost always sports the same leaf-like cape with any outfit. When underwater, she is most commonly seen in a one piece suit that she has modified herself to better suit her personal style as well as offer ease of mobility.

== Personality ==
Nova finds the hustle and bustle of city life far more overwhelming than the familiar comfort of her peaceful island. Not only is she somewhat out of her element in the new urban setting, but she tends to be rather timid and clumsy on land in general as opposed to in the water. Still, even when faced with extreme anxiety, Nova’s curiosity is most often her driving force, and she is likely to attempt even the most intimidating task — once given some time to mentally prepare. She rarely approaches others or initiates conversations and tends to whisper when speaking, a habit she has been attempting to overcome since childhood.

== Biography ==
Originally from a small island in Murmillion, Nova spent most of her childhood exploring underwater with her family, who run a recovery service for items lost at sea. Due to the considerable amount of pirate activity the area, business is relatively steady and profitable. Her parents, hoping for their daughter to experience more of the world, encouraged her to travel to Eversun and join the guild to expand her horizons; though apprehensive to leave home, she eventually took their advice, but still writes home almost daily. Nova has only recently completed her educational courses and is one of the newest members of the Wayfarer Division, and greatly respects and relies on the advice of those who have come before her.

== Abilities ==
Nova, as a penguin kindred, uses her wings and tail to assist in her mobility underwater, making her a naturally agile swimmer. Her Water Aspect furthers this talent, allowing her to manipulate water around her to create a pocket of air for herself to continue breathing and dive for longer periods of time. During her Education Division courses, she prioritized supportive roles and healing magic to better protect both herself and others while keeping herself off the front lines of combat. It was this line of reasoning that led her to decide to learn to utilize Earth Aether after joining the guild, both for a better understanding of medicinal plants and to manipulate terrain for defensive purposes.

Nova also has experience altering her own clothing, either to better suit her style or her body type. She has a tendency to pick up objects she finds interesting out in the field and will later turn them into jewelry or other accessories.

== Relationships ==
Someone has to ask for no pickles for her

(Possible relationships include: Ella, Hyalt, Rin, Wren, Leo, Senti)

=== [[Cora Chromis]] ===
<blockquote>"Cora! She's my very best friend in the entire world. I'm so happy to see her again...!"</blockquote>When Nova and Cora were children, they happened to meet one another by chance while swimming in the ocean, becoming fast friends thanks to a shared curiosity for one another's worlds. Unfortunately, Cora's family remained apprehensive of surface dwellers, and when their friendship was discovered, the two temporarily lost contact. Now reunited as guild members, the girls naturally gravitated towards one another and reconnected as if no time had passed -- leaving them both occasionally questioning just how deep their affection will grow.

}}'''''Nine''''' is an Errant currently working in the [[Contingency Division]]. As part of housekeeping staff, he may no longer be participating in regular expeditions or excursions, but he still takes his work very seriously.

== Appearance ==
Nine is a humanoid male on the shorter than average side, somewhat stocky with toned muscles from his years of doing more intensive physical work with the [[Outerworld Division]]. He is missing his left ring finger, which is the meaning behind his pseudonym. Due to Law corruption, Nine is blind in his right eye and part of his hair has lost its pigmentation. He has olive toned skin, brown eyes (although one is now hazy) and black hair that is beginning to turn gray in places besides the patch of white. Other notable features include a widow’s peak, a hooked nose, and a scar through his left eyebrow. Nine is typically clean shaven unless he has overworked himself to the point of neglecting his facial hair.

In terms of dress, Nine is almost always seen in long sleeves in order to hide the various scars along his arms. While working, he often wears an apron tied around his waist, and depending on the job, may also wear gloves and a mask. He is very particular about stains and imperfections in one’s appearance, even having been known to excuse himself and others from many a situation in order to address a perceived flaw.

== Personality ==
In his youth, Nine was considered to be brash, reckless, and impulsive, often finding himself involved in fights and other unscrupulous activities. After leaving the Outerworld Division, however, he considers himself to have given up most of his “bad habits.” Whether it is cooking, cleaning, or maintenance, Nine is studious and takes pride in his work — sometimes to the point of perfectionism — and does not handle criticism well. To the uninitiated, he appears harsh and aloof; should one find themselves in his good graces, they are likely to be treated to small kindnesses like an extra slice of bread with their meal or a pair of knitted socks on a special occasion. Still, he is not one to seek out companionship or readily share personal information, and will feign ignorance should any of these favors be addressed.

== Biography ==
Nine was abandoned by his parents at a young age, forced to live on the streets in the northern slums until he was old enough to register with the guild. After joining and completing the required educational courses, he continued his usual habits in the pursuit of revelry, often earning reprimands and demerits from higher ups. He was, however, a considerable force in combat — particularly in situations where the use of magic may be detrimental or even impossible — which soon earned him a place within the Outerworld Division. During this time, he met a woman who was infatuated by his rebellious spirit and carefree attitude, resulting in a whirlwind romance and unplanned pregnancy. The relationship was tumultuous, as the new mother wanted nothing more than a stable father for her child, yet Nine stubbornly refused to be tied down.

His final deployment with the Outerworld Division led to Law corruption that cost him partial eyesight. Upon returning to the guild, he handed in the necessary forms to apply for a transfer, feeling grateful to have even returned at all. Now seeking a slower pace in life, he was assigned to housekeeping within the Contingency Division, where he soon came to be known amongst the other staff as a stickler for perfection — even going to extremes such as sorting laundry by different shades of the same color. Although somewhat difficult to work with, it could not be said Nine was lax in his new job, and he eventually came to settle into the caretaker role, albeit reluctantly at times. However, he made no attempts to contact his family upon returning to the guild, instead assuming they would believe him dead after such a dangerous deployment with the Outerworld Division. It has been seven years, and occasionally a letter addressed to an unfamiliar name will appear amongst the guild’s mail, only for Nine to hand the envelope back to the courier to return to sender.

== Abilities ==
Nine is ambidextrous and specifically trained in the use of blades, growing attached to a particular hunting knife he keeps strapped to his thigh and calls “Ten,” using it and his learned proficiency to win both bets and fights alike. It has been quite some time since this weapon was wielded in battle, however, and is now the bane of even the hardiest kitchen vegetable.

Born with a Light aspect yet no one throughout his youth to instruct him on properly harnessing the power, Nine is rather reluctant to use magic after one too many mishaps over the years. He prefers settling matters with physical strength.

Nine possesses many practical domestic skills, including but not limited to: sewing, knitting, cooking, gardening, weapon maintenance, and basic first aid. While he can technically also bake, his confections unfortunately come out of the oven a different flavor or texture than intended.

If a task involves extensive reading or numbers, this is the only time Nine will most likely pass the work on to someone else. His penmanship is notorious for being nearly illegible.

== Relationships ==

=== [[Odin]] ===
<blockquote>“Bright kid. Too bad she got stuck with me that day.”</blockquote>For a brief period, Nine and Odin were part of the same squadron within the Outerworld Division, even coming to learn they both shared roots in the same neighborhood as children. Not long after the incident that led to their Law corruption, he applied to be reassigned to the Contingency Division, but the two remained friendly despite no longer working together. This makes Odin one of the few people who he has allowed to remain close to him, and thus she is more clearly able to notice the contrast in his behavior before and after his “retirement.” He feels responsible for not better protecting the younger girl since she sustained more intensive corruption injuries than he did.

=== [[Rin Kazashi]] ===
<blockquote>“She’s an odd one, but — she knows what she’s doing. Should’ve trusted her a long time ago.”</blockquote>Another colleague from the Outerworld Division, Nine used to consider Rin strange for how much respect she shows not only to him, but everyone around her. He would typically brush off her and her formalities, until his division transfer when he realized she was one of the most genuine people he had encountered in the guild. Their newly reciprocated bond was further strengthened once he came to understand their similar shared values, and he now makes sure to always greet her when passing by.

=== [[Korin]] ===
<blockquote>“I see a lot of myself in him. I’d tell him to slow down a little, but I’m hardly the one to be telling others shit like that.”</blockquote>Nine and Korin, in many ways, are too similar for their own good. One would imagine their matching temperaments would make for fast friends, but it was only after discovering their shared past in the northern section of the city that the walls began to come down. Now, thanks largely to Odin’s introduction, Nine is often an indirect contributor to the siblings’ Valhalla Project, and Korin returns the favor by personally running small errands for him.

=== [[Eleanor Valentine]] ===
<blockquote>“Nothing like that bundle of energy to remind me I’m getting old.”</blockquote>Ella’s boundless optimism has a way of spreading to those around her, and the normally stoic Nine is no exception. When Ella asks him for a favor, he is more inclined to agree than if the question came from someone else, which often results in him ending up in situations quite unlike his day to day life — such as preparing an impromptu batch of cookies or sharing a table for sampling tea. She intends for these activities to serve as a break from his usual chores, but that does not mean their time spent together is not mutually beneficial, particularly when it comes to teaching one another improved kitchen skills. If Nine allows himself to think too deeply about their relationship, he may begin to wonder if he would be doing similar activities with his own daughter in another lifetime.

=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ===
<blockquote>“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks — but he sure is trying.”</blockquote>Hanze’s pursuit of aetherial study and Nine’s particularly lacking aptitude has created a sort of teacher/student relationship between the two. Although Hanze is not particularly renowned for his patience as a mentor, Nine is the perfect test subject to merely advise on how to harness one’s aether without causing detriment to themselves or others. Their private lessons are sometimes cut short by an unexpected presentation of Hanze’s curse — which either results in Nine assisting the boy to his room, or appearing to be scolded for his lack of studiousness by a child.

=== [[Freyja Lest]] ===
<blockquote>“Watch out for her. But… she did once save my life.”</blockquote>Nine is wary of both Freyja and her work, particularly due to his past issues with substance abuse and his resulting distrust of medicine. He finds her knowing gaze unnerving, to the point of occasionally growing paranoid she may know more about him than he has admitted. However, her medical knowledge is undeniable, and for a man with seemingly no fear, Nine is in fact afraid of what may happen to him should he leave his Law corruption unchecked.

=== [[Ogrymnnir]] ===
<blockquote>“Good guy. Don’t have to try too hard around him.”</blockquote>Nine and Ogrym can regularly be found sharing a table in the corner of The Hearth’s tavern when on break from their usual duties. They are never seen speaking to one another, yet regard each other highly. There seems to be a silent bond of brotherly respect between them.

=== [[Ari Lancaster]] ===
<blockquote>“Asshole doesn’t know how to care about anyone but himself. But, in a way, I guess he’s lucky he’s never had to go through something that so thoroughly rocked his foundation.”</blockquote>At one point, Ari was the closest thing to a friend Nine considered himself to have. Both fueled the other’s impulse and ego, living recklessly with no strings attached. After the trauma of corruption, though, Nine’s perspective changed, and Ari no longer had an equally audacious companion. They rarely interact now, both still feeling scorned by the other’s perceived betrayal.

=== Felicity ===
<blockquote>“She’s better off without me. Both of them.”</blockquote>Nine’s estranged lover and mother to his daughter. When they first met, Nine had been part of the guild for some years and was still a bit of a rogue agent, but it was this “bad boy” persona that initially drew her interest. Their passionate affair was cut short by the pregnancy, which began to drive the untamable man further from the young woman rather than closer. During this time, the lovers became silent at the best of their meetings and quarreled at their worst. Approximately three years later, Nine was involved in the accident that led to his corruption; it was this point where he ceased all contact with Felicity, letting her believe he had been killed in action.

== Trivia ==

* '''Voice Claim:''' Erik Braa [https://youtu.be/Ly1hTgwID7s?si=PtQFP-RRAkGK0QQW <nowiki>[Listen Here!]</nowiki>]
* No one in the guild knows his real name except upper level administration, and only then are they granted this knowledge for clerical reasons. To everyone else, he is merely known as Nine.
* His finger was lost when he was a teenager, after attempting to steal a ring from a particularly wealthy traveler who happened to have a vindictive side. Now, when asked for details concerning the incident, he vaguely responds, “Debt.” Missing the ring finger is also intended to allude to his poor luck in terms of romantic relationships.
* Since giving up smoking after his division transfer, Nine has adopted a new pastime: painting ceramic miniatures. He has a shelf of finely detailed animals in his room, practically the only personal possessions to signify his pristine quarters are even in use.
* The physical manifestation of Nine’s corruption is loosely based on [[wikipedia:Waardenburg_syndrome|Waardenburg syndrome]]. After sustaining corruption, not only did he lose sight in his right eye, but he also lost most of his sense of smell.
* Nine is represented in shorthand by the “🔪” emoji, in reference to his favorite weapon, Ten.

}}'''''Nevidess Lancaster''''' is a young Elvaari man currently enrolled in the guild's academy as a student. Ever the optimist, he is fascinated by history and literature and can commonly be found looking for ways to make himself useful to those around him.

== Appearance ==
Despite being the youngest of the four Lancaster children, Nevidess is also the tallest, standing just over six feet. He is exceedingly slim and has trouble maintaining his weight; when he was younger, adults often mistook him as sickly. His shaggy hair is naturally blond, which he regularly lightens to a bleach blond, and he shares his mother's blue eyes. When he smiles, one can admire the boyish dimples on both his cheeks. Nevidess prefers to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.

== Personality ==
Nevidess is friendly and outgoing in many ways that ideally keep him out of the spotlight. He is a force of positivity and encouragement, always seeking to live up to the middle name Ari bestowed upon him when he was born. When it comes to others, Nevidess has never met a stranger -- though sometimes he has been known to share too much information and often fails to realize if someone is growing tired of his presence. Fortunately it is nearly impossible to offend the youngest Lancaster, so he will not take it to heart if he is asked to leave. He always wants to see the good in others and is somewhat of a people pleaser, occasionally to his own detriment. Since he almost never is seen without a book in hand, Nevidess often has his head in a novel or in the clouds, his imagination a distraction from his everyday life, and he has a habit of misplacing his belongings due to this lack of careful attention.

== Biography ==
Nevidess was an unplanned addition to the Lancaster family, and is considerably younger than his other relatives because of this. However, because of the difference in age, his older brother [[Ari Lancaster|Ari]] was able to play a part in helping raise the young Elvaari, sparing him from a similarly harsh and cold upbringing like his siblings received. The two are naturally close, serving as one another's most trusted confidants; Ari was the first person Nevidess spoke to about his gender identity when he was a teenager. Not long after beginning his transition, Nevidess enrolled in the guild's academy, and eventually was granted an internship in the Archivist Grand Library -- a position he greatly covets, but as of yet still lacks the organizational skills to do efficiently. When the Build-A-Bread bakery opened, Nevidess was quickly drawn in by his love of animals and subsequent fascination with Breadpals, and thanks to his personable nature, now works the counter part time. (Rest assured, you don't want him in the kitchen.)

<blockquote>"Ari's my best friend! I don't know who or where I'd be if it wasn't for him...

Since Ari was already an adult when Nev was born, he took it upon himself to be the child's caretaker rather than leave him to be ignored by their parents or taken away by some hired nanny; Nev is very much in the dark about his older brother's self-serving and carefree lifestyle.

}}<blockquote>something dumb here</blockquote>'''''James''''' (stylized as '''''J-4M3S''''') is a cyborg unaffiliated with the guild and is instead a man for hire. While he wants to impress others, he often fails to do so.

== Appearance ==
James is overall humanoid in appearance with tanned skin, hazel eyes, and ginger colored hair that darkens to a true red at the ends. He stands at six feet tall with a muscular build. Both arms have been replaced with Automaton appendages; his left at the elbow, and right at the forearm. Both hands have only four fingers. His neck is comprised mostly of thick cables, with metal supports along his jawline and collarbone. Circuitry is visible on his stomach, suggesting that his legs may also be artificial, along with some internal organs.

In terms of dress, James chooses outfits based on how "cool" he thinks it will look. He wears low rise bell bottom jeans to show off his abdominal muscles, and platform boots to make him appear taller. His hooded jacket has had the sleeves ripped off (he will say it happened in combat, but was actually a purposeful alteration by himself) and is worn over a cropped shirt.

== Personality ==
Sarcastic. Cocky. Overconfident. Dim-witted. Easily swayed/influenced.

== Biography ==
Born in a rural farming village and dissatisfied with the prospect of a pastoral life, James ran away from home at 16 in search of adventure. One of his more ambitious expeditions sent him further west towards the island of Machina, where the atmospheric Law corruption quickly eroded both his confidence and his body. On the brink of death, James happened to be discovered by wandering Automatons, who escorted him back to their settlement and used their own version of medical practices to "fix" his ailments, cutting away the corruption and replacing parts of his organic body with Automaton technology. Thanks to his new cyborg body, James managed to survive the ordeal with increased strength, endurance, and higher immunity to aetherial corruption. He has since had various other "upgrades," sometimes due to his reckless nature and sometimes purely for personal desire. After cheating death in this fortunate event, James turned to mercenary work and quickly gained a reputation for accepting any and all requests that came his way with the mindset that any damage dealt to his organic body can be replaced with machine.

== Abilities ==
Dual pistols with fake-hardcore names (hesitant name idea - Tits [T.17S] and Ass [A55].) Comical amount of hidden gadgets in his mechanical limbs. Fire aspect. Enhanced strength & durability. Night vision. Heat sensing. Resistance to corruption.

'''''Arilemyss Lancaster''''' is an Elvaari man and guild employee begrudgingly working in the [[Trade Division]]’s treasury department. He takes nothing too seriously and is known to be quite the playboy.

== Appearance ==
Ari can be described as many things, yet “handsome” is typically the most commonly heard adjective no matter one’s opinion of his actions. Just a hair shy of six feet tall, he appears as if in his mid- to late twenties, is slender and muscular and takes pride in maintaining his statuesque physique. He wears his hair in its natural golden curls, occasionally held back from his face by a thin headband, and has green eyes, a straight nose, and high cheekbones. His clothes range from flashy and lavish to simple and fitted depending on his mood; he is not afraid of dressing immodestly.

== Personality ==
Ari is here for a good time, not a long time. While he detests the strict formalities of his privileged upbringing, he is more than willing to take advantage of the situation and use his connections to gain whatever — and whomever — he wants. His silver tongue brought him further success within the Trade Division, though he ultimately finds the business painfully boring. Still, he feels he is compensated well enough to continue, but primarily stays with the division so his family will not pester him about maintaining steady employment. Outside of business settings, he enjoys flirting with anyone in his vicinity, but also has a quick temper and will often speak before considering the consequences of his next statement. Though he has been described as selfish and two-faced by some, most are more likely to comment on his abundant charisma and good looks.

Ari is not without his own standard of morals, however skewed they may be. If his advances are clearly and genuinely turned down, he will never suggest the idea of intimacy again. It has also been noted that Ari is particularly kind and patient with children, perhaps due to a history of helping raise his own younger brother.

== Biography ==
Coming from a long line of successful businessmen and women, Ari was born with a silver spoon and high hopes from his parents. He had other plans for himself, however, and rebelled against the societal expectations looming over him since his youth. While his mother would reprimand his undesirable behavior in violent outbursts, his father always maintained his composure, assuring the family that Ari would one day recognize the error of his ways. Since his older siblings, twins Cynthia and Tristan, volunteered to work directly under their father, he grasped this chance at freedom and struck out on his own, applying to the guild merely as a front to assure his parents that he is being a productive member of society while in actuality doing whatever he pleased. Some of this behavior was curbed following the birth of his younger brother, at which point Ari vowed to spare Nevidess from the same restrictive upbringing he experienced. Still, he is ultimately a creature of habit, letting his whims and impulses guide his actions as he has always done.

== Abilities ==
With an Elvaari’s natural affinity for Aether combined with direction from the finest instructors money could hire, Ari is able to harness his ice aspect to a high level of expertise. To this end, he can manifest and utilize a variety of weapons out of pure ice, most commonly in the forms of a halberd of varying length, chakrams as unique as snowflakes, and his favorite frozen longbow. Because his fighting style is so heavily reliant on aether, Ari has the potential to quickly over exert himself — but until then, he is a stubborn, lethal foe.

Thanks to his noble upbringing, Ari developed a talent for both singing and dancing from a young age. He regularly utilizes these skills in order to attract a new companion for the night.

== Relationships ==

=== [[Keldwyn Flannery]] ===
<blockquote>“My dear Kelly, one of my favorite drinking buddies and duet partners. What was that…? No, you don’t get to call her Kelly. First time I did, she threw me overboard.”</blockquote>(Drinking & singing buddies who have absolutely hooked up in a few bathhouses. Ari’s jealous she gets to travel and do cool pirate shit.)

=== [[Bellona Salvia]] ===
<blockquote>“Bel and I don’t exactly go ''way'' back, but — have you ever met someone you just clicked with? That’s how our friendship started… and then we fucked, naturally.”</blockquote>Back when the Salvia family first began their foray into vinification, the Lancasters were amongst their primary investors. Despite this, Ari and Bellona did not become acquainted until their time at the guild, which began as playful teasing accompanied by the occasional dalliance. As time went on, the pair discovered they had more in common than not and developed an unlikely friendship that surpassed their families’ business dealings. Bellona is well versed in pushing Ari’s buttons, both to enrage and arouse him, and she is one of the few people whom he feels comfortable enough around to do away with his usual cocky facade.

=== [[Tia Alequin]] ===
<blockquote>“Tia’s all the things a great bartender should be: beautiful, a bit of a tease, great at listening, and a heavy-handed pourer. I can gladly spend all night with her, any way she’ll let me.”</blockquote>Flirtatious, suggestive, and unashamed — just one of the pair is likely to overwhelm a more conservative person, but no one shy is safe when Ari and Tia are together. It is questionable whether or not anything has ever actually happened between them, since they both seem to be having too much fun with the chase. In actuality, Tia has been known to show concern when it comes to Ari’s patterns of selfish deceit, hoping to educate the man on the difference between passion and mere pleasure. He has yet to take her words to heart.

=== [[Dez Méliès]] ===
<blockquote>“My favorite tailor — Morganite wants me to ‘act proper’ and ‘respect her garments.’ Dez, I can pay him off in chocolates.”</blockquote>(Ari loves volunteering to model Dez’s latest creations, making himself well known about the man’s office and always sure to visit with a box of candies.)

=== [[Eisen Grimm]] ===
<blockquote>“Oh… Professor Grimes, huh? Well, the heart always wants what it can’t have, doesn’t it?”</blockquote>When Ari first joined the class of the new professor with a familiar family’s name, he clearly was only there as an attempt to seduce Grimes. However, the longer he attended lectures, the less issues Trade seemed to be having processing paperwork, and Ari realized he had been subconsciously taking the lessons to heart. Slowly, with the occasional encouraging statement from Grimes, Ari came to admire the man for more than just his physical appearance. The plan to draw the professor’s attention came to a head during Saint Morgan’s Recital, where Ari presented him with chocolate wings and an uncharacteristically heartfelt confession. Though not a total rejection, Grimes did discourage the infatuation, wounding Ari’s ego in the process. He no longer attends classes and will not acknowledge the situation whatsoever — until by some strange miracle he manages to receive an apology from the usually cold professor (though many suspect this was only a ploy to maintain enrollment numbers in Grimes’ class.)

=== [[Selena Idris]] ===
<blockquote>“She’s draining my savings a handful of gold at a time, but to get manhandled by that fiery beauty every week? Worth it.”</blockquote>Part of working in the treasury department involves keeping track of debts and loans — and since Selena owes the guild a hefty amount in reparations from her fall, Ari is one of the employees tasked with making the collection. To this end, he has struck a deal with her: should Selena take the time to spar with him at the training yard and win their match, he will personally pay off a small percentage of her debt. Though this plan primarily serves as another excuse to get him out of his office, he has requested a rematch on more than one occasion, ready to pay up and let off more steam. Rumor has it that one sparring session may have ended with a kiss, followed by Selena shoving Ari’s face into the dirt. He smiled for the rest of the day and put triple his usual amount towards her account.

=== [[General Cassiopeia|Leo Eridanus]] ===
<blockquote>“Sweet, precious Leo, that darling angel. Great work ethic. Lot of repression going on in that one, though.”</blockquote>(Ari helps Leo deal with their ‘urges.’ Low key kind of a wholesome, judgement-free safe space for kink exploration and personal self discovery.)

=== [[Korin]] ===
<blockquote>“They’re smart, both of them, and crafty, too. When the guild finally finds out about their little reconstruction effort, I just hope I’m around to witness the chaos of the fallout. Well, maybe I should say, ''if'' the guild finds out. They’ve got someone on the inside cooking their books, you know.”</blockquote>Ari finds him very good looking. Korin finds him very annoying. When the Valhalla Project was first beginning, Ari was one of the first to approach Korin and Odin about the rumors, offering his assistance and connections simply for the thrill of operating behind the guild’s back. His overtly forward nature, however, quickly soured the deal, as both siblings ultimately decided he was not worth dealing with. He has kept the project a secret, as promised, and still makes monetary donations from time to time with the primary goal of regaining the pair’s attention.

=== [[Monica Holst]] ===
<blockquote>“She’s a unique one, I’ll give her that, but there’s no one else I’d rather have by my side in a fight.”</blockquote>(Met at the bar, Ari rizzed this oblivious catgirl until he finally just had to ask if she wanted to have sex with him, which she turned down. Though she is impervious to his romantic advances, the two are a fearsome team in combat, utilizing one another’s skills with deadly precision. It’s sick as hell.)

=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ===
<blockquote>“Vriella and Hanze and I go way back. Who do you think gave sweet Kihel his first taste of alcohol?”</blockquote>As a friend of the Oulieus family, Ari has loved to tease the younger Elvaari for years, partially to see him become flustered and eventually partially to rile up Korin should he be nearby. There is a rumor of some incident concerning the trio and a bottle of wine, but its veracity has yet to be confirmed (and likely never will be.)

=== Ocellus ===
<blockquote>“Ocellus is sweet — but he gets attached too easily. I’m afraid I may have broken the poor guy’s heart. Then again, if I hadn’t, someone else would have, right?”</blockquote>(Happened once. Neither of them like to talk about it now.)

=== [[Hyalt Keylen]] ===
<blockquote>“Heh, my favorite little coworker when she still stayed in the offices. Creative Commons’ budget sheets weren’t the only things we discussed in my office.”</blockquote>(Office hookup)

=== [[Nine]] ===

'''''Arilemyss Lancaster''''' is an Elvaari man and guild employee begrudgingly working in the [[Trade Division]]’s treasury department. He takes nothing too seriously and is known to be quite the playboy.

== Appearance ==
Ari can be described as many things, yet “handsome” is typically the most commonly heard adjective no matter one’s opinion of his actions. Just a hair shy of six feet tall, he appears as if in his mid- to late twenties, is slender and muscular and takes pride in maintaining his statuesque physique. He wears his hair in its natural golden curls, occasionally held back from his face by a thin headband, and has green eyes, a straight nose, and high cheekbones. His clothes range from flashy and lavish to simple and fitted depending on his mood; he is not afraid of dressing immodestly.

== Personality ==
Ari is here for a good time, not a long time. While he detests the strict formalities of his privileged upbringing, he is more than willing to take advantage of the situation and use his connections to gain whatever — and whomever — he wants. His silver tongue brought him further success within the Trade Division, though he ultimately finds the business painfully boring. Still, he feels he is compensated well enough to continue, but primarily stays with the division so his family will not pester him about maintaining steady employment. Outside of business settings, he enjoys flirting with anyone in his vicinity, but also has a quick temper and will often speak before considering the consequences of his next statement. Though he has been described as selfish and two-faced by some, most are more likely to comment on his abundant charisma and good looks.

Ari is not without his own standard of morals, however skewed they may be. If his advances are clearly and genuinely turned down, he will never suggest the idea of intimacy again. It has also been noted that Ari is particularly kind and patient with children, perhaps due to a history of helping raise his own younger brother.

== Biography ==
Coming from a long line of successful businessmen and women, Ari was born with a silver spoon and high hopes from his parents. He had other plans for himself, however, and rebelled against the societal expectations looming over him since his youth. While his mother would reprimand his undesirable behavior in violent outbursts, his father always maintained his composure, assuring the family that Ari would one day recognize the error of his ways. Since his older siblings, twins Cynthia and Tristan, volunteered to work directly under their father, he grasped this chance at freedom and struck out on his own, applying to the guild merely as a front to assure his parents that he is being a productive member of society while in actuality doing whatever he pleased. Some of this behavior was curbed following the birth of his younger brother, at which point Ari vowed to spare Nevidess from the same restrictive upbringing he experienced. Still, he is ultimately a creature of habit, letting his whims and impulses guide his actions as he has always done.

== Abilities ==
With an Elvaari’s natural affinity for Aether combined with direction from the finest instructors money could hire, Ari is able to harness his ice aspect to a high level of expertise. To this end, he can manifest and utilize a variety of weapons out of pure ice, most commonly in the forms of a halberd of varying length, chakrams as unique as snowflakes, and his favorite frozen longbow. Because his fighting style is so heavily reliant on aether, Ari has the potential to quickly over exert himself — but until then, he is a stubborn, lethal foe.

Thanks to his noble upbringing, Ari developed a talent for both singing and dancing from a young age. He regularly utilizes these skills in order to attract a new companion for the night.

== Relationships ==

=== [[Keldwyn Flannery]] ===
<blockquote>“My dear Kelly, one of my favorite drinking buddies and duet partners. What was that…? No, you don’t get to call her Kelly. First time I did, she threw me overboard.”</blockquote>(Drinking & singing buddies who have absolutely hooked up in a few bathhouses. Ari’s jealous she gets to travel and do cool pirate shit.)

=== [[Bellona Salvia]] ===
<blockquote>“Bel and I don’t exactly go ''way'' back, but — have you ever met someone you just clicked with? That’s how our friendship started… and then we fucked, naturally.”</blockquote>Back when the Salvia family first began their foray into vinification, the Lancasters were amongst their primary investors. Despite this, Ari and Bellona did not become acquainted until their time at the guild, which began as playful teasing accompanied by the occasional dalliance. As time went on, the pair discovered they had more in common than not and developed an unlikely friendship that surpassed their families’ business dealings. Bellona is well versed in pushing Ari’s buttons, both to enrage and arouse him, and she is one of the few people whom he feels comfortable enough around to do away with his usual cocky facade.

=== [[Tia Alequin]] ===
<blockquote>“Tia’s all the things a great bartender should be: beautiful, a bit of a tease, great at listening, and a heavy-handed pourer. I can gladly spend all night with her, any way she’ll let me.”</blockquote>Flirtatious, suggestive, and unashamed — just one of the pair is likely to overwhelm a more conservative person, but no one shy is safe when Ari and Tia are together. It is questionable whether or not anything has ever actually happened between them, since they both seem to be having too much fun with the chase. In actuality, Tia has been known to show concern when it comes to Ari’s patterns of selfish deceit, hoping to educate the man on the difference between passion and mere pleasure. He has yet to take her words to heart.

=== [[Dez Méliès]] ===
<blockquote>“My favorite tailor — Morganite wants me to ‘act proper’ and ‘respect her garments.’ Dez, I can pay him off in chocolates.”</blockquote>(Ari loves volunteering to model Dez’s latest creations, making himself well known about the man’s office and always sure to visit with a box of candies.)

=== [[Eisen Grimm]] ===
<blockquote>“Oh… Professor Grimes, huh? Well, the heart always wants what it can’t have, doesn’t it?”</blockquote>When Ari first joined the class of the new professor with a familiar family’s name, he clearly was only there as an attempt to seduce Grimes. However, the longer he attended lectures, the less issues Trade seemed to be having processing paperwork, and Ari realized he had been subconsciously taking the lessons to heart. Slowly, with the occasional encouraging statement from Grimes, Ari came to admire the man for more than just his physical appearance. The plan to draw the professor’s attention came to a head during Saint Morgan’s Recital, where Ari presented him with chocolate wings and an uncharacteristically heartfelt confession. Though not a total rejection, Grimes did discourage the infatuation, wounding Ari’s ego in the process. He no longer attends classes and will not acknowledge the situation whatsoever — until by some strange miracle he manages to receive an apology from the usually cold professor (though many suspect this was only a ploy to maintain enrollment numbers in Grimes’ class.)

=== [[Selena Idris]] ===
<blockquote>“She’s draining my savings a handful of gold at a time, but to get manhandled by that fiery beauty every week? Worth it.”</blockquote>Part of working in the treasury department involves keeping track of debts and loans — and since Selena owes the guild a hefty amount in reparations from her fall, Ari is one of the employees tasked with making the collection. To this end, he has struck a deal with her: should Selena take the time to spar with him at the training yard and win their match, he will personally pay off a small percentage of her debt. Though this plan primarily serves as another excuse to get him out of his office, he has requested a rematch on more than one occasion, ready to pay up and let off more steam. Rumor has it that one sparring session may have ended with a kiss, followed by Selena shoving Ari’s face into the dirt. He smiled for the rest of the day and put triple his usual amount towards her account.

=== [[General Cassiopeia|Leo Eridanus]] ===
<blockquote>“Sweet, precious Leo, that darling angel. Great work ethic. Lot of repression going on in that one, though.”</blockquote>(Ari helps Leo deal with their ‘urges.’ Low key kind of a wholesome, judgement-free safe space for kink exploration and personal self discovery.)

=== [[Korin]] ===
<blockquote>“They’re smart, both of them, and crafty, too. When the guild finally finds out about their little reconstruction effort, I just hope I’m around to witness the chaos of the fallout. Well, maybe I should say, ''if'' the guild finds out. They’ve got someone on the inside cooking their books, you know.”</blockquote>Ari finds him very good looking. Korin finds him very annoying. When the Valhalla Project was first beginning, Ari was one of the first to approach Korin and Odin about the rumors, offering his assistance and connections simply for the thrill of operating behind the guild’s back. His overtly forward nature, however, quickly soured the deal, as both siblings ultimately decided he was not worth dealing with. He has kept the project a secret, as promised, and still makes monetary donations from time to time with the primary goal of regaining the pair’s attention.

=== [[Monica Holst]] ===
<blockquote>“She’s a unique one, I’ll give her that, but there’s no one else I’d rather have by my side in a fight.”</blockquote>(Met at the bar, Ari rizzed this oblivious catgirl until he finally just had to ask if she wanted to have sex with him, which she turned down. Though she is impervious to his romantic advances, the two are a fearsome team in combat, utilizing one another’s skills with deadly precision. It’s sick as hell.)

=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ===
<blockquote>“Vriella and Hanze and I go way back. Who do you think gave sweet Kihel his first taste of alcohol?”</blockquote>As a friend of the Oulieus family, Ari has loved to tease the younger Elvaari for years, partially to see him become flustered and eventually partially to rile up Korin should he be nearby. There is a rumor of some incident concerning the trio and a bottle of wine, but its veracity has yet to be confirmed (and likely never will be.)

=== Ocellus ===
<blockquote>“Ocellus is sweet — but he gets attached too easily. I’m afraid I may have broken the poor guy’s heart. Then again, if I hadn’t, someone else would have, right?”</blockquote>(Happened once. Neither of them like to talk about it now.)

=== [[Hyalt Keylen]] ===
<blockquote>“Heh, my favorite little coworker when she still stayed in the offices. Creative Commons’ budget sheets weren’t the only things we discussed in my office.”</blockquote>(Office hookup)

=== [[Nine]] ===
<blockquote>“Oh, him. No, we used to be together constantly. I don’t know who he is anymore.”</blockquote>When he first joined the guild and throughout his time with the Outerworld Division, Nine and Ari were thick as thieves. Ari, with his easy access to upper class people, events, and alcohol, got along famously with Nine, who reciprocated through his familiarity with the city’s underbelly. They shared their vices until Nine returned from his last deployment corrupted, at which point he cut off nearly all contact with the man. Nine’s newly cautious demeanor drove a wedge between the two friends, and Ari to this day will still make comments lamenting how much more enjoyable he used to find the other’s company.

The Stageplay of Frights

2025-11-22T20:00:40Z

Ethanwoopdedoo: Began filling out the page for The Stageplay of Frights. Currently covers a description of the dungon and the creatures found within. Later: A summary of the related event, and a list of items looted from the dungeon and who has them! If you made art for this dungeon, feel free to add it under the Gallery section!!

<blockquote>''After arriving in Alula, you and your party meet with city officials and guild affiliates. Together, you make your way to the edge of one of the Feathers, where you find yourself faced with your destination for this trip— that which appears to be a dilapidated theatre. Its fanciful architecture would not seem out of place in Eversun’s Theatre District— from the stone pillars lining the walls to the intricately painted blue-and-gold archways overhead. But here it stands in the midst of the Alulan farmlands.''

''Preliminary reports speak of troubling music emanating from deep within this structure, disrupting the sleep of many residents and their livestock. Moreover, there have been rumors that those that listen closely feel a profound sense of fear well up inside them, paralyzing them until they are shaken from their trance. Those who have heard the song describe it as “the sound of someone crying out for help, fruitlessly reciting and re-reciting their part trying to get it '''just''' right.'' ''From this, your goal is made clear: enter the dungeon, find the source of the rehearsal, and close the curtains on this ghastly performance once and for all!!''</blockquote>'''The Stageplay of Frights''' is a pitfall level [[Dungeons|dungeon]]. It takes the form of a dilapidated theatre and features enemies and puzzles themed as such. It most recently appeared during the 1230 [[Alula|Alulan]] Whisperween celebration, coinciding with Gourdfest that year.

== Description ==
The Stageplay of Frights takes the form of a dilapidated theatre. Its architecture is similar to buildings found throughout [[Eversun City]]'s [[Theater District]]. The interior of the dungeon is relatively small and contains a small ticket area, a lobby and lounge area, the stage, and a pair of branching hallways that stretch backstage. Down one path, the Hall of Comedy, is a series of utility rooms whose challenges primarily focus on puzzles and problem solving. Down the other, the Hall of Tragedy, is a series of dark, foggy dressing rooms which seem more geared towards combat. Completion of the dungeon requires teams to work together to secure a pair of key items at the end of each hall and bring them back to the stage for the finale.

This dungeon is also capable of channeling the psyches of its explorers, catering the dungeon's layout and challenges to prey on their weaknesses. This makes navigating this dungeon particularly tricky. It is also a disruption to its surroundings; strange music and occasionally wailing can be heard from both the exterior of the dungeon and its outer interior rooms, rendering anyone who hears it helpless and fearful. Past exploration teams have labeled the dungeon as an active cognitohazard. The [[Wayfarers' Division|Wayfarer's Division]] recommends swift completion of the dungeon to minimize harm to both locals and dungeon divers alike.

== Inhabitants ==
This dungeon is home to a number of ghostly actors, including a director who serves as the dungeon's boss. It is also home to many ice spirits who present a serious threat to explorers. The form of these spirits range from wolves to phantom hourglasses to even the explorers themselves.

An overview of [[Rosalie Cocoli|Rosalie]]'s participation throughout various events hosted throughout [[Castrella]]'s timeline. These encompass the Discord-hosted events hosted by Guild Administration.

== The Stageplay of Frights ==
Rosalie explored the dungeon in Alula with Korin. They arrived shortly before the adventurers from the guild did and remained one step ahead of the party for the entirety of the dungeon. At the last second, Rosalie swooped in and snagged '''a brooch in the shape of Alula's crest.'''

Hyalt Keylen/Events

2025-11-22T15:54:09Z

Ethanwoopdedoo: Added information about Hyalt's contributions to the Stageplay of Frights. Why am I doing this before filling out the dungeon page? Just because.

{{SubpageNavigation|1 Link Name=Overview|1 Link Target=Hyalt Keylen|2 Link Name=Relations|2 Link Target=Hyalt Keylen/Relations|3 Link Name=Events|3 Link Target=Hyalt Keylen/Events}}

== Phoenix Festival 1230 ==
Prior to the Phoenix Festival, Hyalt commissioned a special outfit for the occasion from [[Dez Méliès|Dez]].

Hyalt spent most evenings during the festival with her partners, [[Lucia Nayuri|Lucia]] and [[Peri Méliès|Peri]]. She is occasionally only with one or the other, depending on their availability, but she never appeared at the festival alone. During the event, she purchased countless cups of boba from [[Naliyuma Mavarei|Nali]]-babi’s Boba Corner. Hyalt also stopped by [[Nyx Roseblood|Nyx]]’s booth at the festival, beating her in an arm wrestle and getting a small phoenyx for her troubles. It was at this event that Hyalt discovered Nyx was pretending to be left-handed to look cooler.

Hyalt ran a shooting gallery for the children of the [[Valhalla Project]] during the mini-fest that ran midway through the month. She crashed overnight at the [[Morning Roost]] during this period.

She also assisted [[Tia Alequin|Tia]] with her annual feast, aiding in hunting a great magical boar. She dragged [[Korin Altair|Korin]] into helping with this event as well.

Hyalt assisted with the subjugation of [[Loco Motion]] and [[Lil' Red|Lil Red]], lending her hunting skills to aid in the duo’s capture.

== The Stageplay of Frights ==
<blockquote>''As Hyalt picks up her flyer, she examines it carefully. Indeed, this was a moment of triumph for her. She smiles. And then notices the folded corner. There’s something else stuck to this. Another poster.'' ''This one is '''aged.''' Different. It’s not a face from their party, which means it must be that of someone who has faced this dungeon on a prior instance. A face Hyalt knows well. How it appeared here and now is anyone’s guess, but that hardly matters to her right now.''

“Hello mother. I’ll see you soon, okay?”</blockquote>Hyalt was one of the first to volunteer for [[The Stageplay of Frights|a pitfall level dungeon]] which appeared in [[Alula]] during their annual [[Holidays|Whisperween]] celebrations in 1230. She requests [[Jaina Ryder|Jaina]] to tag along for this adventure. While inside, she finds a ticket into the theatre with Jaina and explores the Hall of Comedy with [[Mauriell Somata|Mauriell]] and [[Meridian Archterberg Synastra|Meridian]], helping them overcome the challenges found within. After defeating the dungeon boss with the full party, Hyalt finds, attached to a flyer of her defeating the hourglass boss in the Hall of Comedy, a flyer depicting her mother exploring the dungeon by herself, wrapped in a white cloak. This spurs her to research the dungeon and it's prior instances when she returns to the Hearth.

Hyalt also obtains '''500g''' and '''mythril chainmail''' which she wears under her clothing during future quests.

}}

Rosalie Cocoli is a half-[[Races|elvaari]] woman hailing from [[Eversun City]]. She is a member of [[Mirage]], working for them as a thief.

== Personality ==

Rosalie is a selfish, hyper materialistic young woman with a rebellious streak. She has an often monotonous voice, and rarely smiles or gets excited unless she is indulging in her fashion sensibilities. Because of her demeanor, it is often difficult to tell how she feels about something, and she is often dishonest with people. She is extremely standoffish and closed off, but she is open with and protective of those with whom she feels a sense of camaraderie.
== Biography ==

Rosalie was born on Prism 22, 1207. Her parents each hail from lineages of prestigious [[Wayfarers' Division|wayfarers]]. To uphold this tradition, the Cocolis enrolled Rosalie in the [[Education Division Academy]] as soon as she came of age. This unfortunately laid a lot of pressure upon the young woman, who came to resent her parents for it. As she struggled with her coursework, she met a kind young woman by the name of [[Nova Holland]]. The two's shared interest in niche Castrellan high fashion brought them together, and Nova did her best to help Rosalie wherever possible. Unfortunately, Rosalie lacked motivation to continue, and poor magical aptitude made spellcasting fairly difficult.

Frustrated with her position in life, Rosalie began to steal jewelry and small accessories from local shops and began to pickpocket the local populace. She became rather good at this, rarely ever getting caught in the act. Rosalie eventually quietly dropped out of EDA in favor of filling her room with lavish goods from across Eversun City.

But eventually, her luck would run out, and her antics landed her in the sights of a woman by the name of [[Quill]]. Rosalie had successfully stolen a diffuser charm off of a frail young girl in the thick of a crowd on [[Market District|Market street]]. However, not soon after her successful theft, Rosalie suddenly found herself cornered in an alleyway with little memory of how she ended up there, with Quill standing across from her. Quill offered Rosalie a choice; turn herself in to local authorities, or put her skills to use for Quill's criminal organization Mirage. She offered Rosalie free passage to any city she wished to travel to and the chance to keep anything she found pretty. Rosalie saw this as a chance to make a name for herself, and joined Mirage on the spot. She has served as a thief for the group ever since.
== Contributions ==

Check your back pocket :)

== Abilities==

Rosalie is unable to develop her innate magical abilities. Instead, she relies on runes to cast various spells. A pair of runes are etched into the handle of her parasol, allowing her to cast a powerful wind gust from either side depending on how she opens it. She can also use her parasol to slow a fall, allowing her to float through the air for short distances.

She often casts other spells by etching runes into soft surfaces with the sharp blade at the end of her parasol. Failing this, the parasol can be used as a sword in a pinch.

Rosalie is also a master at sleight of hand.
== Trivia ==

* Her voice claim is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Yqphh2grk&t=31s Kana Asumi as Bronya Zaychik from Honkai Impact 3rd]
* Loves sweets; is a regular customer at [[Sugarbuns Patisserie|Sugarbuns]] and [[Whiskers & Wonders]]
* Her favorite crime is theft. Beware of her sticky ass fingers.

Adventurers' Guild

2025-08-23T23:39:15Z

Ethanwoopdedoo: /* Major Divisions */

[[File:Guild Logo.png|alt=The Guild Logo, with the iconic yellow compass and star on a blue background. |thumb|The Guild Logo, with the iconic yellow compass and star on a blue background.]]
'''The Adventurer's Guild''' (also known as "''the Guild''") is a worldwide network connecting every corner of the map together, unifying its inhabitants and providing a hub of information in and about '''[[Castrella]]'''. The Adventurers’ Guild was established by [[Eversun City|'''Eversun City''']]’s [[monarchy|'''monarchy''']] over 1000 years ago.

== Basic Information ==
The centralized headquarters for the Adventurers' Guild is a large, several-story building in the center of Eversun City. This building is lovingly titled “The [[The Hearth|'''Hearth''']].”

The Guild has established branches in various other major cities and regions in Castrella that are considerably smaller in comparison to the Hearth, but function in identical ways. Larger cities may have a small [[The Civil Affairs Division|'''Civil Affairs Division''']] but not have any [[The Archivist Division|'''Archivist Division''']] staffing. It depends on the location and its culture’s necessities.

== Enrollment ==
In order to enroll at the Adventurers' Guild, you must be 18 or older. That is the legal adult age on Castrella, universal for all [[Races|'''races''']]. All enrollment must go through the front desk reception at the Hearth in Eversun City; you cannot enroll through outposts in other cities. You'll be escorted through a tour of all the major divisions, pick one you are most interested in, and then enroll through the '''[[Education Division Academy]]'''. Upon successfully completing your courses after however many years required by your curriculum counselor, you will receive an armband color-coordinated to your division and a corresponding identification card with the Adventurers' Guild emblem on it. It is required that whenever one is on duty for the Guild, they are required to wear their [[Guild Uniform|'''division's corresponding armband''']].

You may then browse through the options Guild offers for [[Adventurer Housing|'''residential living arrangements''']] for both on-and-off-campus dormitories.

Every employee of the Guild is titled an "'''adventurer'''."

== Major Divisions ==
⁠The Guild is split up into 10 major divisions.

* [[The Wayfarers' Division|'''Wayfarers' Division''']] - The largest division withing the Adventurers' Guild. Focusing on any and all types questing and adventuring, and collaborating with other divisions.

Focuses on anything to do with the basic elements, harmonic elements, chaotic elements, curses, pacts, aetheric vessels, aetheric combinations, elemental traces within the world, spellweaving, and so on.
* [[The Education Division|'''Education Division''']] - A fairly small division, runs required courses for adventurers. A collective product of all major divisions, rookies are required to attend an amount of courses. Subjects include weaponry, magic, ecology, geography, cultural communications, rule of the Guild, stealth, etc.
* ⁠[[The Creative Commons Division|'''Creative Commons Division''']] - Handles staffing for festivals, holiday cheer/decorating the city, maps infrastructure, and provides general entertainment/hobby services. These services include and are not limited to: theater troupes, Pictomancy shows, circuses. Oversees and manages community events.
* [[The Outerworld Division|'''Outerworld Division''']] - One of the oldest divisions in the Adventurers' Guild, focuses on peacekeeping between Eversun City and all of Castrella's territories, although in modern times created a force to control the spread of chaotic elements. Works closely with other divisions.
* [[The Contingency Division|'''Contingency Division''']] - A large division dedicated to emergency services. Ranging from medical paramedic on a job sites to assisting the Wayfarers' Division on quests. Handles other oddball requests that may be unable to fall into any other category.

== Guild Policies ==
While the Adventurers' Guild is fairly lenient when monitoring their adventurers, there are still regulations to follow. This includes, but is not limited to:

* Carrying a Guild-provided identification card
* Wearing your [[Guild Uniform|'''uniform''']]
* Licensing your carried weapon

=== Guild Identification Card (GIC) ===
The information the GIC should state the following:

* Name
* Age
* Pronouns
* Race
* Division
* Job title
* Division Insignia
* Personal Identification Number

=== Acting Against or Without Permission of the Guild ===
If you disrupt or break Guild policy, you may have your GIC revoked, either temporarily or permanently. If it is permanently revoked, it is irreversible. If or when one acts on their own without waiting for the Guild’s permission, the Guild is not responsible for any of their actions and claims no state of affiliation for action. Since the Guild holds high power in their hands and acts as the governmental body of not only Eversun City, but the entirety of Castrella, becoming a problem for the Guild will at best get you removed from its ranks, or at worst, imprisonment. (''This is not to say you can’t write a character who acts against the Guild within, but rather, to remember that the character is truly risking their safety net of the Guild by doing so.'')

== Outposts ==
Not only is the Guild the main governing body for Eversun City, it also acts as a spiderweb of information over the entire surface of Castrella. Various Guild Outposts have stationed themselves within both major cities and minor towns, often acting as more of a facility for wayfarers to rest and accept quests. These outposts still provide a limited amount of Guild-related services to the residents of its home city, and are still a huge boon to their residence. Sometimes they will assist in establishing banks, bridges, perimeter defense, trade markets, and other useful buildings. Outpost staff is consisted of either employees native to that residential area, or are sent from Eversun City's Hearth with the help of a relocation package.

The "quest board" stations in Outposts are staffed by anywhere between one and four receptionists, depending on the size of the city. They are also typically constructed with a tavern and inn attached to the main building where wayfarers can eat and sleep. Quests posted in Outposts are exclusive to that town, and cannot be turned in at another Outpost. This includes any other quests accepted from the Hearth or outside Outposts. This is due to the rewards for each quest being handed over by its client in their home town and only being available at that location.

== Third-Party Factions ==
Third-party factions are organizations unaffiliated with the Adventurers' Guild. The Guild has no issues with someone setting up a specially focused organization, however, please be mindful you will be a direct competitor of the Adventurers' Guild's assets and organizations. '''''If you as a creator are wanting to create a third-party faction, it is allowed, but it would be best to talk with a member of Guild Administration regarding this aspect.'''''

== Guild Associates ==
'''''Guild associates''''' are businesses that are sanctioned and supported by the Adventurers' Guild itself. While all businesses will require licensing and permits provided by the Trade and Civil Affairs Divisions, not all businesses need to be sanctioned directly by the guild. Some businesses, such as [[Nayu Gemworks]], are direct correspondents and work with the Guild on a contract. Non-associates of the Guild will receive less protection and less assistance when it comes to procuring stock, building maintenance and inspections, and general notoriety. However, the business owner will have less restrictions and can likely cater to their customer base in a more personal and meaningful way as they aren't being directed by the Guild.

'''Penelope Carthwright''', often referred to as '''Nelly''' by friends and coworkers, is an equine kindred noblewoman currently serving as secretary to the director of the [[Outerworld Division]]. She hails from the prestigious Carthwright noble lineage, who are responsible for the founding and management of the OWD.

== Personality ==
Nelly is a kind hearted, incredibly clumsy woman with nervous habits & a forgetful nature. Due to her awful memory, she’s learned to keep heavily detailed, color-coded notes. She finds comfort in doing this– she finds the process and colors soothing... even if she has trouble remembering what all her colors even mean.

She is often tripping over her own feet or dropping her pens and papers. Despite this, she is one of the OWD’s most dedicated and tireless workers. Even the Director has admitted that much of what the OWD does simply would not be possible without her.

== Biography ==
Penelope Carthwright is the youngest daughter of the prestigious Carthwright family, a group of nobles responsible for the founding & oversight of the [[Adventurers' Guild|Adventurers’ Guild]]’s Outerworld Division. Her father was the division’s previous Director– he was responsible for taking over the set-up, patrolling, and maintenance of many of the current [[Corruption|Chaotic Element Containment Zones]] (colloquially known as bubbles) after his father’s retirement. Nelly was made to understand that the role of Director was to one day pass on to her, and her training and education would ensure she was ready for the challenges that came with helming the OWD.

However, her father’s untimely passing left her poised to take over the role when she was far too young; her older siblings were too preoccupied with their own roles in the palace, and her mother was too ill to take over. Thus, with no one else available to take over, the role passed instead to Nelly’s estranged eldest cousin– a man who had previously left the safety of [[Eversun City|Eversun]] to wander the lands of [[Castrella]] freely. The [[Monarchy|Royal Family]] immediately sent for him, and he begrudgingly returned to the capital and assumed the role.

Still, Nelly was determined to take up her father’s mantle, and that meant staying close to the role by whatever means necessary. Thus, she shot for the next best thing & asked to become the Director’s secretary when she came of age.

In an effort to prepare for her work, Nelly decided to personally enroll in the [[Education Division Academy]] & focused her studies as if she were joining the OWD herself. Because of this, she has an intimate knowledge of everything that makes the OWD tick, and a surprising combat prowess when she isn’t cowering in the corner in fear. After graduating with only the highest of marks, Nelly returned to the palace & took the position she had requested. She has worked tirelessly ever since to help the Outerworld Division be the best it can be.

== Trivia ==

* Nelly is ''fast'' – her top speed is comparable to that of some [[avistus]]! Unfortunately, her clumsiness tends to mean she trips over herself constantly when running that fast. She is no racehorse.
* One time she went to see a bubble site as part of an assessment and got so scared she returned home by foot in a panic without any of her reports.
* She has a host of colored pens, highlighters, and markers with which she takes notes.
* Without her agenda, she is unable to recall what day of the week it is. She barely knows what time of day it is.
* She has highly sensitive ears, which leaves her prone to migraines if she stays in a loud setting for too long.

{{SubpageNavigation|1 Link Name=Overview|1 Link Target=Monica Holst|2 Link Name=Relations|2 Link Target=Monica Holst/Relations|3 Link Name=Events|3 Link Target=Monica Holst/Events}}

An overview of [[Monica Holst|Monica]]'s participation throughout various events hosted throughout [[Castrella]]'s timeline. These encompass the Discord-hosted events hosted by Guild Administration.

== Phoenix Fest 1230 ==
In the weeks leading up to the [[Phoenix Festival]], Monica confesses to [[Freyja Lest]] that symptoms of her whimsy [[corruption]] are worsening due to overwork and stress. In response, Freyja orders that Monica take a leave of absence for the duration of the event.

Whenever she is not resting, Monica spends most of her time during the month with [[Keldwyn Flannery]] wandering the festival grounds. She gets Kel a gift from [[Eleanor Valentine]]'s pop-up shop, ''Eleanor's Knicks 'n' Knacks''. She also drags her roommate [[Jaina Ryder]] out to the festival with her.

Monica also contributed to the miniature Phoenix Festival in the [[Valhalla Project]] set up by [[Odin Finch]] and [[Korin Altair]], aiding in setting up and tearing down the assembly. She and Korin told the children of the project a myth about the origins of the Phoenix Festival together, complete with acting and costuming.

Midway through the event, the newly revealed Trainsportation System is commandeered and brought to life by [[Lil' Red]]. Knowing that she is supposed to be resting, Keldwyn sends Monica back to her dorm. Not one to stand by, Monica grabs her scythe and jumps into action, aiding in the subjugation of the rogue train with the use of her whimsy portals. The high-profile nature of the operation unfortunately results in Monica revealing her corruption to the guild. The size of the portal needed to move the train takes up a lot of her energy, worsening her symptoms and causing her to fall ill for a week. While she does recover, some of her skin rings do not disappear, causing her to worry. Additionally, Monica does not hear from [[Parvuli Sadis|Parvuli]] for some time after this event. Ella checks up on her after this event.

At the end of the event, Monica braves her fear of water and joins Kel on her [[Trade Division]] ship to launch fireworks.

Ethanwoopdedoo: Added Events Tab (Making a minor edit to not blow up wiki chat don't mind me)

{{SubpageNavigation|1 Link Name=Overview|1 Link Target=Monica Holst|2 Link Name=Relations|2 Link Target=Monica Holst/Relations|3 Link Name=Events|3 Link Target=Monica Holst/Events}}

=== [[Champ]] ===
Like many other guild recruits, Monica was trained as a part of Champ’s recruitment program.

=== [[Raelynn Aquamor]] ===
In addition to having attended her classes, Monica's time with Rae is the reason her weapon came to be. Monica's scythe is one of her own design, but she specifically sought out Rae's help in its construction and regularly visits her for its upkeep and maintenance.

=== [[Odin Finch]] ===
Monica and Odin's paths crossed while Monica was in training. The duo sparred once-- Odin came out on top, but Monica, not to be deterred, kept getting up and trying to push through it even after the match had been called off. Meeting her in an official capacity years later, Monica is shocked that the fearsome OWD captain who put her in her place years prior was actually ''shockingly'' sweet, being one of the first people she confesses her corruption to. They have since become good friends and drinking buddies, on the rare occasions where Monica goes out.

=== [[Rin Kazashi]] ===
Rin is another early OWD coworker with whom she shares her corruption status. She looks up to her, taking her guidance on dealing with her symptoms to heart. The duo occasionally join each other for bubble excursions.

=== [[Korin Altair]] ===
Monica is connected to Korin through her work with Odin. It is during a drinking game with the duo that she becomes involved with the [[Valhalla Project]]. She can commonly be found filling in for him on certain duties when he is out of town, particularly ones that involve taking care of the children of the project. They can occasionally be seen playing strategy board games together, despite Monica's lack of skill. The children of the project will also tell you a tale of the two getting into a match of... headpats? Though the two of them will vehemently deny this.

=== [[Freyja Lest]] ===
Freyja’s work in the [[The Contingency Division|Contingency Division]] regularly brings her into contact with Monica. Monica brings her herbs as a favor-- one which Freyja returns when Monica becomes corrupted by supplying her with supplements to combat her symptoms.

=== [[Eleanor Valentine]] ===
The ever chaotic and friendly “[[Eleanor Valentine|Library Menace]]” has been spotted at containment field checkpoints bringing muffins and other snacks to the Outerworld. Monica has become fond of a particular type of cookie Ella makes.

=== [[Parvuli Sadis]] ===
Parvuli is Monica's pact entity, the being from which she derives her power over whimsy. The two do not get along, but Parvuli is inextricably bound to Monica's soul, and thus they must find a way to make it work.

=== [[Leo Eridanus]] ===
Monica admires Leo's sense of idealism and desire to help all in need. She feels that they have much in common and becomes fast friends with him.

=== [[Keldwyn Flannery]] ===
Monica and Keldwyn met in a tavern after one of Monica's excursions. The pirate expressed interest in her, resulting in a flustered but earnest attempt at flirting back followed by passionate yapping about her position on the Outerworld Division. What followed was a night together Monica still thinks about on occasion. The two have grown extremely close in the months since, and Monica will occasionally overcome her fear of water to greet her at the docks whenever she returns from her voyages. Monica and Kel take each other out on dates whenever possible.

=== [[Lianne Fennick]] ===
Rumors swirl around the fox kindred running the Valhalla Project's bookshop cafe, The [[Morning Roost]]. One curious one concerns a night where Monica was seen going home with Lianne but was never seen exiting the premises afterwords. Monica refuses to answer questions about this-- though it's alleged by some passers by that a soft purple glow was seen in the window for a brief second the next morning.

=== [[Hyalt Keylen]] ===
Monica and Hyalt feel drawn to each other by a strange sense of familiarity, despite not knowing her prior to meeting. The two are best friends and know they can rely on each other for anything.
