I'll start:
NAME: Charlie W.
SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)
JOB/TITLE: Sprocketville, Southwest Kyngdom
APPEARANCE: Tall for his age (13), average build, curly dark brown hair always needs a haircut (except right after he gets one)
PERSONALITY: Never the first to speak up, but always the first to notice something
HOME: His parents' house, which his mom likes to say has the most natural light of any underground bunker in Sprocketville, thanks to its many skylights
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The machinist wing of the Cypher Labs dormitory, where he lives on a hall with the other gear-nerds. Needless to say it's not the cleanest wing in the building.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Dr. Sheepshank was the first adult he felt really took him seriously.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Marcus R., the best machinist at Cypher--and a full year younger than Charlie.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His titanium sprocket wrench set, a 13th birthday gift from Dr. Sheepshank.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Er, did you try hitting it with a hammer?
STRENGTHS: Inventiveness--at age 8, he built a working dishwasher from scratch.
WEAKNESSES: Confidence--he has trouble standing up for himself sometimes.
BACKGROUND: Charlie grew up in Sprocketville, a small bunker town in Southwest Kyngdom. He was lonely there, since there weren't many other kids around--but that gave him plenty of time to tinker with the smashed-up machines that lined all the roads in town. After he built an entirely new set of household appliances from scratch, word spread across Kyngdom. Eventually, Dr. Sheepshank recruited him to be part of the Cypher Labs team. His parents were sad to see him go, but he didn't think twice: this was his big break.

Home: The hollows of any tree
Most often seen at: Bog & Burrow Inn

Strengths: Intellegence. Can solve complex puzzles in a few minutes.
Weakness: Sometimes doesn't take problems seriously enough. ('The powers are wreaking havoc? Who cares')

(April 22, 2024 - 7:43 am)
SPECIES: homo sapien (right now)
JOB/TITLE: Dr. Astri (though barely anyone remembers she has a PhD because her personality isn't very professional-like, most just call her Koe, pronounced Ko-ee)
HOME: A nice village home near Mer
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: SOCKS HQ
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Her father and many SOCKS scientists
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Supposedly Catastrophe and his army, but only because she was not passionate enough about the cause for him and more passionate about science itself, so she wasn't accepted as a BIG/SOCS scientist, therefore she joined SOCKS and allied with the Resistance. But she's still very friendly, even with Catastrophe supporters.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Her journal full of her scientific discoveries and observations
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Magic is actually science if you really look into it.
STRENGTHS: friendliness, encouraging others, science (particularly environment and creature-related things), passion
WEAKNESSES: impulsiveness (like she'll do a dangerous experiment sometimes and narrowly survive), too trusting, rants about her discoveries a bit too much (where even her avid scientist colleagues get tired)
(April 27, 2024 - 7:35 pm)
NAME: Mongolfiera Premurosa, nickname Fiera
AGE: 17
PRONOUNS: she/her
SPECIES: Kitsune shapeshifter. Her mother was half homo cervidae (deer-like humanoids), which is where she gets her antlers from.
JOB/TITLE: Wanderer
APPEARANCE: In human form, she has long sleek green hair, indigo eyes with flecks of gold, golden brown skin, and blue antlers with vines twisted around them. Usually wears a navy blue hooded cloak that shadows her face, with a tunic and loose flowing pants underneath.
In Fox form, she has golden brown fur with tufted ears and emerald green at the end of each of her three tails. Same eye color as above. Her antlers are slightly smaller as a fox than as a human. Her clothes turn into an enchanted silver pin with a fox emblem she wears on her ear. When she becomes a human again, her clothes are already on.
PERSONALITY: quiet, avid reader, introvert, thoughtful, sneaky, when you get to know her is quite funny and kind, hides behind a hard exterior and doesn’t really trust people.
HOME: an expansive cave at the peak of Mount Acqueo
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Mt. Acqueo
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Friends with Nuvoletta (their sheet later)
ENEMY OR RIVAL: not sure. does anyone have a suggestion?
FAVORITE POSSESION OR OBJECT: A blue-gray stone she found by the ocean before the massacre. It’s been smoothed over completely and is a perfect circle.

STRENGTHS: Endurance and agility. In fox form, she can jump as high as up to four times her height.
WEAKNESSES: Shy
BACKGROUND: Mongolfiera grew up in a wandering musician troupe. When she was 13, they were captured and executed by the village authorities for singing a ballad that demonized King Catastrophe. She escaped because she was collecting rocks and shells on the beach to sell at the next village. Fiera’s been wandering for the last 4 years. Recently she established a permanent home on Mount Acqueo.
OTHER: Fiera plays violin and shamisen. Also, her name, Mongolfiera Premurosa, literally means “thoughtful hot air balloon” in Italian.
(April 29, 2024 - 11:00 am)
NAME: Andrej Gillman (he/they) (early 20's)
SPECIES: Vampire (Sluagh Lineage)
JOB/TITLE: Scientist at SOCKS
APPEARANCE: Tall but hunched. Long thin black hair. Wide eyes. Thin lips and long, jagged fangs. Wears grey coats and tunics, mainly. Long fingers, and a bat-like face. Pointed ears like many naturally-born sluagh.
PERSONALITY: Confrontational and direct, but not out of genuine malice, more issues with empathy. He does his best. Bounces between a truly terrible attention span and hyperfixation on scientific projects. He's a loyal friend, but he tends toward being self centered.
HOME: Local Sluagh clan in a sewer system. It's less awful there than you'd think.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: SOCKS headquarters.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: He has a pet rat named Orlok. He loves his rat.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: He has a tendency to latch onto any and all people he views as "equals" or "threats" as rivals. Which lends itself to a degree of shenaniganery. However, he shows a degree of familiarity and courtesy toward his frequently one-sided rivalries that might lead a person to wonder just how genuine it is.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Vial of "special blood." Don't ask.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Curiosity killed the cat, but I am beyond the concept of death."
STRENGTHS: Sheer willpower. He doesn't have "enhanced intelligence," he just decided to become a scientist, and then... did it. He lacks any sort of humility about this fact.
WEAKNESSES: Antisocial and freakish. Needlessly confrontational.
BACKGROUND: Born to the Sludge Boys, a clan of Sluagh in a sewer. The Sludge Boys were lead by Wormeater Scur, Andrej's uncle. The Sludge Boys sided with The Rebellion not out of any lofty morals, about half of them would have willingly sided with Catastrophe, but out of fear of local Rebel Forces. The Scum Boys were a small group, and even more relentlessly darwinistic than other Clans. Andrej, a physically weak and "Low-Blooded" specimen, likely would have been outcast if not for his Uncle's relentless pampering. Andrej focused on his studies in an attempt to differentiate himself from his dozen or so cousins and siblings, and eventually managed to get into a university, which he was promptly removed from after turning his roommate. Now he's at SOCKS HQ. Joy.

NAME: Theori Haridal. Pronounced theory (yes, this was on purpose) har-i-doll.
SPECIES: Human
JOB/TITLE: Bioengineer/geneticist
APPEARANCE: Dark, fairly short brown hair, blue eyes, usually wearing gray and a silver bracelet in the shape of a double-helix.
PERSONALITY: Tends to be more quiet (until you mention anything related to genetics, that is), diligent, generally calm and collected, kind, passionate, can lose her patience easily (this does not result in very much anger, but after she loses her patience it takes between half an hour to two hours for her to be calm again), and focused.
HOME: somewhere in Mer
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: SOCKS Headquarters, or the beach.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Used to look up to BIG. Not anymore.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: The Brazen Inquiry Guild, where she used to work.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Mentioned bracelet.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: “Just because it’s in your genes doesn’t mean it’s destiny”.
STRENGTHS: Independence, responsibility, willingness to work
WEAKNESSES: Has trouble working with others on a project, adapting to new situations, and being patient, as mentioned before
BACKGROUND: She used to work at BIG researching genes and genetically editing bacteria cells, but left at about the same time as Dr. Blart Blartrid when BIG started experimenting on animals and humans. Theori Haridal is not her real name. She changed it after leaving BIG, but no one knows exactly why.
(May 10, 2024 - 9:28 pm)
NAME: Elmira pur Nairen
SPECIES: human
JOB/TITLE: Unemployed. She travels Kyngdom alone being sympathetic to the Resistance under the guise of going on a solo trip to build her intelligence.
APPEARANCE: tall and thin, spread of freckles across her cheeks and nose, pale, red-brown hair, very thin fingers. She has very thin lips and keeps them in a neutral expression. She likes to wear turquoise clothes (typically dresses) and silver jewelry.
PERSONALITY: She appears very cold, but she's not. She tries to help people without getting herself in too much trouble. She is strong-willed, intelligent, and rarely trusts people.
HOME: Nairen Island, in the north of Kyngdom--but she doesn't like it there.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Everywhere, essentially. She wanders around.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: None.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: None.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Her pennywhistle, which is silver and very shiny. She takes it everywhere with her.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "I hope I won't regret this."
STRENGTHS: She is very good at acting aristocratic and making small talk. She is also good at lying, swordfights, playing the pennywhistle, and swimming. Half the time there's a crisis, she handles it very, very well.
WEAKNESSES:For one, the other half the time there's a crisis, she loses her head. She also doesn't trust anyone, and is terrified of making bad decisions.
BACKGROUND: She's a Nobyl, if it isn't obvious, from a family full of intellectuals who like to have only children. In her family, she was frowned upon as too emotional (and she isn't very emotional at all), and she's been the odd one among her three cousins, Reynold, Fisher, and Slam. She's always been very scared of making bad decisions, so when she decided to join the Resistance, she did so under the premise of taking a solo trip to gather intelligence for her scholarly development. She still writes to her parents, since she doesn't want to completely cut their ties.

My second Kyngdom charrie, Elmira's grandfather:
NAME: Joseph pur Nairen
SPECIES: human
JOB/TITLE: retired professor of theoretical mathematics
APPEARANCE: small, not much hair, bushy eyebrows, pale-ish skin (slightly tan), and a thin nose. He likes to wear suits and will wear them every day. He carries a cane but doesn't need to; it also doubles as a weapon.
PERSONALITY: Can be nice; however, he doesn't mind having the status of a Nobyl and can be a bit of a snob to those lower in class to him. He flatters people a lot and likes to be flattered.
HOME: Nairen Island, in the north of Kyngdom.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: He likes to travel around, frequenting violin recitals and parties.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Lord Helion. He despises the Resistance.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: The Resistance.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His cane; it was made for him by his wife and makes him seem more stylish and interesting; it is also a very good weapon.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Never again."
STRENGTHS: He is very smart (used to be a theoretical math professor) and can lie very well.
WEAKNESSES: He thinks he's really good at playing the violin, which he is not, and doesn't like to make small talk and so is bad at it.
BACKGROUND: He doesn't like being from a common-ish family (his mother, the last of the pur Selders, married a commoner and gave Joseph his dad's last name and her prefix) , so he doesn't act like it. He has four adult children, Nemonia, Jorge, Noriega, and Filbert, who each have one child (his grandchildren), Reynold, Fisher, Slamuel, and Elmira. He also has a wife named Willemina, who is still working as a professor and whom he loves very much. He says he doesn't have a favorite child; the truth is it switches around.
(June 8, 2024 - 11:04 am)
NAME: Kirenne Alaras
SPECIES: Homo sapiens
JOB/TITLE: Minor leader of the Resistance
APPEARANCE: Black hair, usually worn in a messy, stylish bun or loose (it's quite long); blue eyes, and a gaze that makes you think she knows everything about you; slightly built; rather pretty.
PERSONALITY: Commanding, a bit insecure, has few friends, but has an optimistic and witty side
HOME: Mer, where she works with the Resistance.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The Resistance headquarters (if there are any?), or wandering around Mer
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Her boyfriend, who also works for the Resistance. (ooh I have an idea, maybe the boyfriend will be someone I've already mentioned - I'll have to work that out :D)
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Catastrophe, primarily, and all his supporters. She also has a minor rivalry with another Resistance leader.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Her necklace, which has a silver chain and a small pendant in the shape of a heart. Aforementioned boyfriend gave it to her.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "If you close your eyes and trust, destiny will show you the way."
STRENGTHS: She isn't afraid of much, and she's good at directing people and getting them to work together; this is why she's risen to be a leader of the Resistance.
WEAKNESSES: Insecurity, sometimes panics in minor situations, occasionally clashes with her superiors
BACKGROUND: Grew up close to Mer with her parents (she's an only child), who were always loosely linked to the Resistance. As she grew older, she became more convinced that Catastrophe was evil, and decided to join the Resistance fully; she clashed with her family over this, and seldom sees them now.
(June 8, 2024 - 1:33 pm)
NAME: George Seoras
SPECIES: human
JOB/TITLE: Works at a cafe in Mer, which is a secret place for Resistance members to meet.
APPEARANCE: average-looking, brown hair and eyes, wears average clothes when he's not working and waiter's clothes when he is.

HOME: An apartment in Mer.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The cafe.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: None so far.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Are you all right?"
STRENGTHS: He is a very good waiter, can blend into crowds easily, and (as mentioned) is very kind.
WEAKNESSES:Because he is so kind, he can sort of fall over himself to help people, and sometimes makes plans that break quickly.
BACKGROUND: George's parents were involved in the fight against Catastrophe and died from it, so he has vowed to help the Resistance. He got a job in the cafe to learn what the Resistance was up to, and so knows about them; he still hasn't got around to officially joining it, though.
(July 22, 2024 - 8:27 pm)

Since then, Everline has become a loyal member of Catastrophe's army and has become determined to avenge Cari. Oftentimes she is sad and broken on the inside.
