Meet Aiden/Ava!
Aiden/Ava - The Mischief
Age: 25 [ 5’9”(179cm) / 5’7”(173cm) |Red hair |Blue eyes ]
They were an orphan who grew up on the streets and learned how to survive by any means necessary. This made them skilled in thievery and persuasion, and they became adept at their work, always quick on their feet and one step ahead of their pursuers. Despite that, their personality was known to remind anyone of a golden retriever for their friendly and energetic spirit.
They have been contracted for a variety of jobs, from stealing priceless works of art to infiltrating heavily guarded royalty mansions. They were always on the move, never staying in one place for too long, and had a natural talent for disappearing into the shadows and evading detection.
They are masters of disguise, often changing their appearance to avoid detection. They would wear different clothing and cloaks, and they would alter their accent and mannerisms to blend in. They were also talented lockpickers, able to break into any castle if they wanted to.
Despite their criminal lifestyle, they had a code of honor that they lived by. They never stole from the poor or helpless, and they always tried to avoid hurting anyone if they could. They had a soft spot for children and would often use their skills to help them in any way they could.
Physical Appearance:
They have fiery red hair that falls in messy curls around their face and bright blue eyes that seem to sparkle with mischief. Their warm ivory skin has noticeable freckles sprinkled across their nose and cheeks, and there is a small scar above their left eyebrow. Aiden stands at 5'9" tall and has a lean, athletic build, while Ava stands at 5'7" tall and also has a lean, athletic build.
They prefer to dress in dark clothing that allows them to blend into the shadows.
Meet Kazuo Sakuragi!
Kazuo Sakuragi [RO] - The Loyal - Lycan
Age: 30 [ 6’2”(188cm)|Black hair |Black eyes ]
Note: I couldn’t edit it correctly but his hair should be chin length, and his face covered with some old scars.
Kazuo was once a happy and loyal member of his small village, where he lived with his wife and daughter. He was known for his kindness and generosity, always willing to lend a helping hand around the village.
One fateful night, a vicious lycan attacked Kazuo's village, killing his wife, daughter, and all the villagers. Kazuo fought valiantly, but in the end, he was bitten by the lycan and left for dead. As he lay there, crying and screaming in agony, he felt his body changing, turning him into a lycan like the one that killed his loved ones.
Filled with anger and sorrow, he tried to look for the lycan for revenge, but his new identity that he still couldn’t control scared him into remaining in the village for months.
One day, the protagonist was tasked with hunting a wild lycan in the area, and they stumbled upon Kazuo in his lycan form. Despite Kazuo's ferocity, the protagonist felt a deep sense of sadness and compassion for him. Seeing the pain in Kazuo's eyes, they helped him adapt to his new life as a lycan.
Kazuo became fiercely loyal and protective of the protagonist, admiring and respecting them for their bravery and skills. Filled with respect, he joined the ancient order of the warriors, fighting alongside the protagonist. He promised himself to someday find the lycan that destroyed his life and kill it with his own hands.
Physical Appearance:
In his human form, Kazuo has a powerful and imposing presence. He stands at 6'2" and has a muscular build that reflects his physical strength and endurance. His body and face are covered in scars, new and old, some of which are still healing.
Despite his rugged appearance, Kazuo's face is sharp and defined, and his expression is always stoic and serious. He has black eyes that seem to see right through you. His hair is jet black and chin-length, often disheveled, giving him a slightly wild look. His skin is warm beige with a hint of tan from training in the sun.
As a lycan, Kazuo's appearance changes drastically. He becomes larger and more muscular, with thick black fur covering his body. His eyes become a bright shade of yellow, and his teeth and claws become razor-sharp.
Meet Elara Pallas!
Elara Pallas [RO] - The Counciler - Elf
Age: 23 [ 5’3”(164cm)|Dark Brown hair |Brown eyes ]
Lady Elara Pallas is an elf and a member of the order. Her family is comprised of great scholars who have always placed a strong emphasis on her education and knowledge.
From a young age, Elara showed a remarkable aptitude for learning, and she quickly became known for her intelligence and analytical skills.
As she grew older, Elara became more interested in the world outside of Celestia. She studied the histories of different kingdoms, dangerous plants, and creatures that lurked around the forest that surrounds the gates of Celestia. She also learned about the ancient order of warriors and their role in maintaining peace, which fascinated her.
Elara was determined to join the order and become a councilor member herself. She knew that the hard work she put into studying and learning could finally be put to good use in the order, and she was eager to make a difference in the world.
As a councilor member of the order, Elara quickly distinguished herself as a skilled strategist. She was responsible for overseeing the order’s operations and making crucial decisions, and her calm and collected demeanor made her a respected figure within the kingdom.
Physical Appearance:
Elara has russet, reddish-brown skin with a warm, sun-kissed glow to it. Her big, dark eyes are full of intelligence and depth, and they sparkle with a curious glint whenever something interests her. Her features are delicate and refined, with full, expressive lips. Her hair is a rich shade of dark brown and falls in soft, shoulder-length ringlets around her face.
Elara is not one to draw attention to herself, and despite her parents disapproval, she prefers to dress in simple, comfortable clothing that allows her to move freely and focus on her work.
Their paths had crossed again on a day when the sun dipped below the horizon, and the moon reigned over the sky, casting its pale glow on the world below; on the world that Ida had come to know to mean more than rocks and trees, now including the slope of a nose and the curve of a hip. Lady Leith, lost in her thoughts, found herself seeking refuge beneath an ancient willow, a sacred space where the presence of love was ever palpable for the inhabitants of Riven, who sought such things in the face of everything horrid. Summer was fading now, the chill of the breeze enveloping the hesitance that lived within them both. Here, Ida watched as Leith ran fingers over her lips, contemplating. It had been only a month since they parted on that mission, where everything went wrong and blood had colored their clothes with rust and stain, and yet the kiss they had shared in the face of death had washed it all away.
Would she remember? Was it nothing to her?
Would nothing change?
It was there, beneath the weighing branches, that Leith's eyes met Ida’s again, and it was as if time stood still, and the universe conspired to bring their hearts together, yanking, violently, refusing to settle for a hazed dream behind closed eyes.
In that moment, the weight of their yearning pressed against their chests, like the longing for a season that had yet to arrive.
"Your cherry blossom lips, dewed with the honey I fed to you beneath the tombs of Oakweth,” Ida let her voice float on a cold wind, tender and tentative, “away from the pressures of what yesterday had wrought. How I miss the taste of them." Ida smiled as she approached, hiding her trembling hands with a voice as delicate as the branches that she pushed aside to venture closer.
Leith laughed, her heart caught in her chest. “Your poems had a way of making me… survive.”
“So I hoped. I couldn’t imagine a world-”
“We lived.”
“We did.” And as Ida stepped closer, her hand reaching out to gently touch Leith’s cheek, a surge of energy coursed through their veins, igniting a flame that could not be extinguished.
"Lady Leith, my persimmon. I yearn for autumn in your arms," Ida confessed, half poem, whole truth, her voice trembling with raw desire. “Have me to hold, as I will with you. For whatever time we have, for forever; for now."
In that moment, beneath the sacred tree, their lips met once more, sealing their vows in a violent kiss that trancendended any spoken or written word. Their love, forged in the crucible of yearning, would endure, unyielding and steadfast, like the ancient goddess of union who presided over their love.

Hey Hey everyone, so I've made a short twine game about a monster hunter has a run in with a vampire who they happened to know before they turned.
This story has two ending and you can pick from some pre selected names for your hunter for customization.
So if you've got the time and are interested check of Affairs in Blood
Knowing what my characters look like (and being able to draw them) really helps me get a feel of who they are. I figured I should show you guys as well, so you can get a lil bit of a sense of who they are while things progress in the background. Design is subject to change of course, but probably not too much.
But yeah, cool purple wolf knight! I kinda considered giving them a fake tail, like one of those clip on ones. I thought it'd be cute.
