Characters
Jurni | Tiefling | She/her
Jurni’s human mother, Larissa, was killed by her half-Demon father, Salvir, some years after she was born. Her and her mother had quite the bond, and Larissa was actively planning on escaping Salvir. Upon finding out about these plans, Salvir murdered Larissa and aimed to do the same to Jurni. Her father, knowing Jurni was about to escape, was able to get a significant hit on her with a cursed ranged weapon. This weapon/demon began to ruin her life. It called itself Nemesis, it would tell her in the quiet moments she found herself alone. It would sometimes even reveal itself to her, but she realized that it was only her that could see it. It has a connection to her nearly uncontrollable urges to cause suffering. Usually when she gets these she will have herself locked up for one reason or another by either the city jailers, or a person that has been friendly to her since they first met, Tamsyn. She often wonders if this was the reason why her father was so cruel, this horrible weapon named Nemesis. In her travels, Jurni came across a lovely couple on the outskirts of Outer Elisora and they took care of her the best they could while they were alive, patching up her wound that ended up leaving an angry looking scar, black in color. After living with this couple for about a year, Jurni witnessed their horrific murder, someone in all black and rather large.
Ultimately trying to get revenge on whoever killed her adoptive parents and be rid of Nemesis. Also wants to help protect people from the demons, but she is widely distrusted because she’s kind of a punk. Even so, she still tries to prove to everyone that they are wrong about her.

Tamsyn | Witch | She/her
Tamsyn is a local witch residing in one of the outer villages. She is also a close friend of Jurni’s. Whenever Jurni has one of her episodes and in her village, Tamsyn will provide Jurni with a safe space to get through it without hurting herself or anyone else around her. She’s sometimes able to give Jurni some potions/teas to help her calm back down. Tamsyn has a pretty misleading appearance. She is barely five feet tall with boots on and is very quiet/reclusive. However, she is one of the most powerful witches in the realm. There was a time when she nearly lost herself to this power, and she bears the mark of that (white stripe in her hair). Nobody knows this about her. She is able to cast some protection for a period of time on the village she resides in, but doing so worries her. She doesn’t want to reveal too much about what she is able to do for fear that this will cast her in a bad light and people will think she is the one bringing about the reign of demons. She also worries that if she were to show her powers too much, people would try to take advantage of/use her. Especially if the city were to find out.

His father ventured into the BlackWood forest to try to find something. His mother… he has no idea. She was to await the return of her husband because he was ideally going to find a special herb that is believed to be a cure for her sickness. One morning, Lou found she was gone from her bedroom.
There is also a little creature that follows this boy around wherever he goes, often perching on the top of his head or on his shoulder. He calls her Prim (short for Primrose) and says that she is his best and only friend now.

Where the tail starts, these marks start to spiral around the length of her tail. She also has bright, light teal eyes. She appears to be very intelligent and aware of social norms/how social interactions work. She often gently guides Lou to do certain things, such as go to market to get food and leading him away from dangerous areas/people. She acts as a guardian for the boy. Little does Lou know, this little creature is actually his mom. She had been transformed into a lemkey mostly on accident by a witch living in the BlackWood forest. This witch found that lemkeys have a resistance to the illness that Lou’s mother had, so the intention was to have her ingest a concoction of lemkey blood and other mysterious ingredients with her being cured almost immediately. Instead, she was transformed into a lemkey, free of illness. It is this witch’s understanding that there’s no way to reverse these effects, she will remain a lemkey for the rest of her life.

Rogg | Mysterious Talking Dragon | they/them
Rogg is a fairly large dragon hanging out in the Blackwood Forest. They hold some secrets about the land and may have some knowledge of what is going on at the coastline. Players may encounter them if they decide to venture into the wood. How Rogg reacts to their presence is entirely up to the players. Rogg is quite the force to be reckoned with, but isn’t looking for a fight. Typically they choose to be civil, if not mischievous. Rogg also has an interesting connection with Vesna.
Rogg is also trying to reunite with their partner as they got separated a very long time ago escaping hunters in the mountains. For the longest time, Rogg believed her to be dead. Recently however, Rogg received an odd message/vision from Vesna saying that she is very much alive and awaits them in the mountains. Rogg is still skeptical of this, though, and wonders if this vision was a figment of their own imagination. After all, Vesna has rarely made herself known as of late, even to them.

He was witnessed doing some arcane tricks behind a building in one of the bigger villages and was beaten up until Jurni flung herself into the action. Jurni showed Kain how to get to the village in the woods that held almost exclusively tieflings and explained to him that he would be much safer there given the current political climate as well as what people had just witnessed him doing.

They live in Elisora and take care of patients there, but also make trips out to the neighboring villages/towns to lend a hand to those in need outside the city.

Took up studying the monsters that began to invade the regions surrounding Elisora soon after they appeared. She initially was starting to research the Blackwood forest in hopes to better understand the environment and make it safer somehow for people to venture through. Many of these demons that she now studies reside in this forest, so she’s still sort of in her wheelhouse. She’s made pretty interesting discoveries about how the demons are summoned, and has also found out that when they are summoned there is a special mark left on the ground. More information to come as she keeps going.

Emi | Shapeshifter Bad at Shapeshifting | She/her
She’s real bad at shapeshifting, to the point where it’s almost dangerous for her to do it. It seems to her that every time she tries to shapeshift she retains a part of the animal she turned into. Currently, she has fox ears, animal-ish eyes, and a bushy fox tail. Something she’s currently battling with as well is regression into her fox form. Rather than her needing to fight to keep her fox form, she needs to fight to keep her human form. This has given her many problems concerning her identity. Maybe she’s just meant to be a fox, and that’s okay, right? It would be if she didn’t really want to be a human. She’s built many relationships with all sorts of creatures in the Ellirian region, but her favorite is a human named Avery. They have done their best to help each other as they both struggle with their identities in the world. Going full fox would mean that Avery and Emi could not pursue the life they want together. Emi often visits with Tamsyn, whether it be to hang out for a bit or inquire about how to fix herself. Dabbles a bit in witchery as well, almost an apprentice with Tamsyn (this is another thing that Tamsyn is working on in her spare time, she really wants to help her friends).

Manages one of the largest farms in the region and does an awesome job at it.

Has taken quite a liking to Emi and finds themself even more connected with her when they find that she is having similar struggles in a way. Goes to Tamsyn for protection spells/potions to try and protect the crops from initially just wandering animals, but now they have to worry about the demons tearing them up. Has thought a lot about going into the Blackwood forest to try and retrieve a certain ingredient for a potion Tamsyn is attempting to prepare for Emi, but this would likely mean Avery would never see Emi again, vice versa.

Whether that be from exposure or one of the many creatures that can kill. Actually close friends with Rogg, but tries to keep her knowledge of them under wraps. Rogg is a special one, and although they can hold their own, Ainslee worries for them if too much information gets out about who they are/what they know.

Silly werewolf girl that occasionally visits the outer villages of Elisora.

She’s largely vegetarian, though, and hates the idea of harming living things. Sometimes, she likes to sprinkle some cricket flakes on her salads though.
