Shamir

At your service

Age: 24
Gender: Female
Race: Slime
Appearance: In all instances except in the cases where her body has been extremely damaged, she will highly prefer to maintain a Feminine humanoid form. Her proportions and height altering based on her internal water content. However due to the nature of her species, she cannot produce articles of clothing, and thus she generally packs a varying degree of maid outfits suitable to her current size. As well as her personal favourite 'one size fits all' enchanted maid-wear (see above)
Personality:
Gentle, Eloquent, Benevolent. These are the words that can be summarise the nature of Shamir, She acts with respect and grace for her charges, but is also not completely subservient to them. A maid in her eyes should always be ready to help, but should never let themselves be clouded by the nature of the person they serve. Nor should they be picky in whom they serve. The richest and most powerful are not the ones in need of a maid.

In turn given her nature. She is the type to endure a fight until the enemy tires rather then seek to cause harm to the enemy. It is not her place as both a maid and a healer to lay a hand on another person in violence, Nore is it her place to cause injury to that person. Though sometimes in order to protect those that she serves and their property it is necessary to end a fight in a cleanly manner, hence why she has proficiency with a variety of restraining or sealing magics, Things that do not bring lasting harm to an enemy.

It goes to the point that she will unless she is restrained. Provide medical care to a enemy if she is asked. She will not fight alongside them if their views on the world are 'evil'. But it is her duty to be impartial in providing care. It is a heroes job to slay a villain not hers and in her perfect world nobody should have to suffer.

Abilities:
Slime Physiology:
As a slime her body has a surprising amount of natural durability. She most sharp objects just pass harmlessly through her, or get lodged in her body, only to be digested. She can form tentacles, morphing to grab, reach, and restrain things, and while her physical ability isn't individually impressive, having an entire slime restrain something could get difficult. As her body is naturally sticky and secretes a viscous fluid, her grip is something else entirely.

She also maintains the ability to change size depending on her water content as all slime do. Finally due to being the standard species of slime. She maintains incredible regenerative properties except when it relates to her 'core' damage to this core can result in considerable damage to her overall integrity. From making it difficult to stay solid, to memory lose. To all the way to death. It will regenerate over time, but at a much much slower rate.

Sanitising Gel:
A slime's gel is a heavy disinfectant perfect for applying as a Salve to bandages, as well as making it good for cleaning those hard to clean stains

Skills:
As a maid of course it falls to her to be very versatile in skills that would be crucial to maintaining the homestead. She has proficiency in Sewing, Cleaning, Cooking, Production of exotic food items (She can carbonate water inside of her!), Maintaining Equipment (Polishing/Sharpening), Superb Conversation skills (as it falls to her to be an ear for the woes of others as well as to provide advice), Lockpicking (through the usage of her body to move the pins) after all how is master going to get into the house if he/she loses his/her keys, and many other skills required of her as a maid.

Healing Magic:
If being a maid is her passion, Then being a healer is her natural forte. Her healing prowess is remarkable, able to heal near any injury short of death. She is capable of confining her magic to a short-ranged powerful effect or spread it out in a large area of effect to relieve fatigue and heal moderately. The AOE of course does not distinguish from from foe. But it has a natural calming effect as if akin to relieving muscular tension. To put it simply, its very difficult to kill people in her care.

While she cannot 'remove' a curse due to her lack of knowledge of how to do so, by combining it with her other magical craft. She can restrain the curse to a specific area of the body, It will require repeated treatment to maintain and isn't a cure all. But it can slow a curses progress until a proper removal can be performed by a specalist.

Sealing/Restraint Magic:
Her 'combat' magic as it were relates to the sealing and/or restraining of things be it magical or physical. The strength of her Seals/restraints depends both on what she is restraining and the amount of energy poured into their production. Generally speaking they take the form of Slime-like chains that bind the enemy in a steel-like grasp and in the process of sealing. The spirit/cursed is held within a gel-like membrane. She prefers using this magic as it provides little to no harm to her opponent, allowing her to maintain her vow of causing no lasting harm.

Backstory: Born as part of a royal batch split straight from the then current ruler. The slime though she'd be forced to look forward to a (in her eyes) boring life of leading a entire nation in the event the current leader died. In reality the slime had a different disposition. She wanted to help others in a way that was much more mobile then legislature and government.

Thus when her slightly maniacal twin sister wanted to usurp her position by beating her in a game she could of very easily won. Not only did she forfeit secretly by playing worse on purpose and thus she was pushed back a step in line in terms and her sister would instead take her place. Still a princess but delayed in the throne she had plenty of time to herself now to reject her royal duties even more!

Thus this is how she began travelling to find work as a maid. She even met a rather peculiar Shoggoth when trying to find work. Honestly what was that Slimes problem. Just because they both applied to the same guy that one time didn't mean she had to keep trying to show-off whenever they met, Besides a silly eldritch slime could never beat the original tried and true.
Origin: Nova Terra

• Name: Velktlthrih
• Age: Normally appears to be a young woman in her mid twenties.
• Gender: Female
• Race: Shoggoth Slime
• Appearance:
  What do you expect a Shoggoth to look like? Roses and rainbows? Well, she doesn't. Vel looks like she properly crawled out of a nightmarish realm of eldritch horrors. She might as well have. Her appearance changes a bit depending on the mood, but normally her slime takes the appearance of a nurse uniform or maid outfit.
• Personality:
  Vel is...well unsettling, to say the least. She loves cleaning. She loves taking care of others. She absolutely loves having to take care of people. There's some sort of primal urge there that she must satisfy. Indeed, she's both the perfect maid and perfect person to nurse someone back to health. Of course, she says prevention is much better than healing once sick - and since her body naturally seems to produce immune system boosting drugs among other things, she makes full use of that fact. Then why, you ask, is she unsettling?
  
  Whatever you do, don't refuse her treatment. She will make sure you are well taken care of. Oh, and, well, she seems to uh, find some sort of...enjoyment in watching people get hurt. So there's that.
• Abilities:
  Shoggoth Physiology: While she is a slime, her body is slightly different than her gooey cousins, though they share many similarities. Ingesting liquid for example, will cause her to increase in size. Unlike her cousins however, Shoggoths can digest almost anything given enough time, and can use it to increase their mass should they desire. As well, her body has a surprising amount of natural durability. She most sharp objects just pass harmlessly through her, or get lodged in her body, only to be digested. She can form tentacles, morphing to grab, reach, and restrain things, and while her physical ability isn't individually impressive, having an entire shoggoth restrain something could get difficult. As her body is naturally sticky and secretes a viscous fluid, her grip is something else entirely.
  Cleansing Blood:
  Vel's body produces a rather potent mix of health aides naturally that can heal a number of ailments as well as improve the body of something that ingests them. She has learned to both utilize this as discreet injections (her favorite method), and through well, magic. She can increase a persons resistance to certain ailments, temporarily increase someones physical ability, agility, reaction time, mental acuity, etc, you name it. If its a physical function, she can supercharge it in a person. _{With some side effects which may require you to stay in her care}
  Purposeful Malpractice:
  Too much of a good thing, can be a double edged sword. She can affect others with potent 'debuffs' of many kinds. Poison, a paralytic venom, a narcotic that makes them drunk, unable to tell friend from foe - you want her to affect a persons physical state, she can likely do it in some fashion.
• Skills: Cleaning, cooking, taking care of injured patients, what more could one expect of a maid? That is what she is, and what she always will be.
• Backstory:
  Vel's a shoggoth. A rare breed of slime that is an inherently servile species. Ready to serve their employers and whosoever happens to be in their care. Their origin is a obscured in mystery, but its said their a race of slimes that were once in service to some obscure, now-extinct nobles of Terra Nova. As you might expect, this has made Vel a fairly adept maid and caretaker.
  
  Born and raised in her families clinic in the once prosperous land of Silver Sun. Vel was quick to pick up on both maidenly duties and nursing. Her jobs were simple as a little Shoggoth - clean, and take care of the patients, which she was more than happy to do. And when she came of age as far as Slimes went, she decided she wanted to test her skills and learn more about how to properly take care of others. So she left Silver sun and traveled for a time, whereupon she applied to work alongside a rather uppity Slime who thought herself a maid.
  
  Just what was that brainless ooze's problem? Trying to outdo her like that when she wanted just a friendly competition! The nerve of that slime, always starting things when they should much better be working together. That was fine though. As a top-maid and caretaker, she wouldn't let herself be outdone. Such competitions would continue every time they met in their work.
  
  After some time, eventually the Shoggoth heard of Silver Suns ailments. Worse, the Clinic was taken! Now, now, that wouldn't do at all, would it! Silver Sun was now without its best medical practitioners! She couldn't let that stand! So she traveled back to Silver sun, deciding that she would rid the town of what ails it and help in whatever method she could - and start by getting her Clinic back.
• Origin: Nova Terra

Name: Augis

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Unknowable ones from beyond the stars, hear my pact and lend me your power!

Personality:
Augis is a seeker of truths. He wants to know how the universe ticks, and why Nova Terra seems to tick differently. He wishes to gain insight into the unknown, and understand the uncomprehended, but he is not a fool. Augis knows the risks of delving too deeply into things beyond man's ability to perceive, and the dangers that the unknowable beings from beyond can pose, thus believes it is best to take it slowly than risk his mind being destroyed. If anything, his limited knowledge of his patron makes him all the more terrified of such beings, and he dreads the prospect of ever meeting one in person.

His pact with a being from beyond was not solely to sate curiosity, however. He cares deeply about his home, and has watched as more and more were taken from it as others took advantage of Silver Sun's weakness and misfortune. The only hope for the fallen kingdom's survival, he believes, is with the aid of those from beyond Nova Terra. Those beings may be terrifying, incomprehensible to human minds, and unknowable in their intentions, but they are at least far removed from the predatory politics of Nova Terra...he thinks.

In person distrustful of outsiders, especially those native to his world. Silver Sun's neighbors are nothing but opportunistic predators, and those beyond the world are unknown, possibly unknowable, wild cards. At the same time, Augis is aware that having faith in outside help is Silver Sun's only hope for survival

Abilities:
Warlock's Pact:
Augis has struck a deal with a powerful cosmic being and has been granted many powers. His contact with the entity has affected his mind, causing him to be immune to telepathic or psychic attacks from mortal beings, but at the same time it has become attuned to the whispers of his patron- and those of any related or similar beings. He is capable of casting a number of spells that touch the minds of others, such as charm, suggestion, and telepathic sendings. Additionally, his pact has granted Augis a few special powers that do not expend his own mana:

Eldritch Blast- Augis fires a powerful magic beam at his foe. He can optionally choose for the beam to knock its target back.

Disguise Self- Augis casts an illusion upon himself to appear as somebody or something else. It does not alter his voice, however.

Levitate- Augis can suspend someone- or himself- in the air.

Skills:
Eldritch Lore
Both through his own studies and communing with beings from beyond, he has obtained not-inconsiderable knowledge of eldritch matters.

Universal Interpreter
As part of his pact, Augis can read any written text.

Telescope and lens crafting
Augis was taught by his father to craft and maintain telescopes, and knows how to craft all the necessary parts, including the glass lenses. He can produce lenses for other purposes, as long as he knows the needed dimensions.

Astronomer
Augis is learned in the field of astronomy, and the associated mathematics.

Backstory:
Augis was the son of an astronomer who lived in Silver Sun. He was brought up to follow in his father's footsteps of charting the stars and determining the laws that govern the universe. He was taught mathematics, learned how to build and maintain telescopes, and when necessary, navigate using the stars. When he was 17, his father died, but Augis continued to carry on his legacy, observing the cosmos and making calculations. One thing perplexed him, however- he could not make his calculations add up. The laws that more less consistently governed much of what he observed did not seem to apply to Nova Terra. No matter how he tried, he couldn't make the math work out. Finally, he made a breakthrough- he observed something in the night sky that behaved similarly anomalously. He built a more powerful telescope to observe it, hoping that it'd lend insight into his own world. When he observed it, something gazed back at him and sent whispers into his mind.

Terrified, Augis smashed his telescope to pieces and for the next few weeks, he could not even bring himself to look into the night sky. As time passed, curiosity eroded his fear, and he began studying what he had found. He traveled to other communities to learn all he could of what he had made contact with. He traveled from place to place, studying these unknowable beings. As he learned more, the prospect of forming a pact with whatever he saw became more tempting. He was not blind to the plight of his home community, and here he had found something seemingly removed from the vicious politics of this world with no stake in the further debasement of Silver Sun. He built a new telescope and began observing the corner of the cosmos where that...thing resided. Soon enough, it noticed Augis, and with the knowledge he learned, he struck a pact with it for power.

For the next several years, Augis endeavored to develop his newfound powers and deepen the pact in hope of gaining even more power. He served as a mercenary with various communities, and made contact with others who had struck similar bargains. He occasionally got into trouble or associated with the wrong people, and it isn't a coincidence that he has focused on obtaining powers useful for keeping less enlightened folk from skewering him. During this time, he also witnessed firsthand the gruesome consequences of delving too deeply into or associating too closely with the unknowable things beyond the stars, lessons that he has taken to heart. When he felt that his powers had developed sufficiently, he returned home to Silver Sun, now even more diminished than it was when he left, and offered his services in hopes of helping to save it.

Origin: Nova Terra

Name: Aoife De Chuid Mag Mell

Age: Three hundred and some years

Gender: Female

Race: Dullahan (Fae)

Appearance:

Personality:

On the surface, Aoife is somewhat aggressive person who is ready to fight anyone that challenges her. Her expressions are rather aggressive as well. Otherwise, she’s a rather kind person. When she encounters a lost person, she offers to lead them to safety. When she encounters a lost soul, she helps it with last requests within her ability before sending them off to Mag Mell.

Abilities:

Dullahan Anatomy: Dullahan have their head separated from their bodies. They can slightly move their head through a small amount of magic but they need to hold them to move it best of course. Their bodies can move independently of their head of course. When separated by a large distance, they can sense the head and move towards it. Luckily, it has a sort of radar to not bump into every little thing along the way.

Summon Spectral Horse: Dullahans have the ability to summon a spectral horse to ride around on.

Spirit Magic: Dullahans have the ability to collect souls of the dead or dying and therein communicate with them. That said, Dullahans have a reputation in that there are spells that these souls are used for which may or may not be true. People are wary of them for this.

Gold Burn: Dullahans have an innate weakness to gold, causing them to burn when exposed to it.

Skills:

Martial Weapons Proficiency: Aoife has practiced with weapons for many years for fun, for the most part as she has traveled Nova Terra. She has fought a number of skilled individuals and has become a rather infamous person in many circles not to mention the dungeons.

Smithing: Weapon wear is bad on someone that uses their weapons a lot much as Aoife does. She took a year or so of time to learn to smith from a dwarven smith since she heard they were the best in the industry. She learned that from another dwarf, of course.

In addition, she has some lesser skills. Riding, cooking, woodworking.

Backstory: Aoife is a Dullahan from the land of Mag Mall, a place that is considered a paradise. In truth, it is a land that houses the souls of the dead though it is true that the actual citizens of this land are treated well. Dullahan are those that collect spirits and souls and bring them to Mag Mell.

They are “born” fully grown or created through odd magics. Aoife was born a Dullahan. When they are born as such, they are required by the Royal Family to serve as soul collectors for one hundred years. After such service is over, they are allowed to do as the please within the borders. Most become nobles of sorts and are granted land to become knights of sorts.

Aoife, for her part, disliked that idea. As much as she loves her land of Mag Mell, she loves exploring the world outside her island more. She requested leave to the lands of Mag Mell to explore the rest of Nova Terra. She was granted it, as long as she delivered lost souls she found to Mag Mell. It was a sort of “you scratch my back, I scratch yours” deal to which Aoife agreed. Mag Mell was a better fate than being lost on the roadside, so there should be little issue here.

Now she travels the lands of Nova Terra as Adventurer and Soul Keeper. She travels on her spectral horse across the land, exploring and sightseeing. She also enjoys dungeon-diving for treasures, helping failing adventurers and recovering souls of the lost while she’s at it. This is what her life has mostly revolved around for the last 200 and some years.

She’s made some friends over this time and had even more people distrust her because of rumors of Dullahans, though she never lets this keep her down. While it’s not everyone who believes baseless rumors, it’s enough.

Origin: Nova Terra

Name: Rook 'Cold Iron' Hollander, Commander
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:

Personality:
Rook is patient and generous leader, each soldier under his command being a part owner in the legion. He gets deeply involved with people, but becomes cold in the midst of combat with the need to distance himself from his men and the consequences of his actions.

Abilities:
Rimewind Blade: A near mythical sword given as a gift at the resolution of a campaign far to the north. Drawing the blade coats the wielder in supernaturally tough ice, protecting them from harm but still allowing movement. The ice is self repairing but because of the extreme cold it can only be used for relatively short periods of time. THe increased mass of ice also comes with strength to match.
Seers Gamble: a deck of cards hand painted on wood by Rook. They are black on one side and feature people, places or ideas on the other.

Origin: Isekai

Name: Dorothy Baskerville

Age: 9

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Appearance:


Personality:
Dorothy is equal parts haughty and childish. While she knows proper court etiquette and how to act with respect, she is too used to people around her humoring her whims as well as her blunt speech.

Abilities:
Dissolution - The pre-requisite ability of Alchemy. Performing alchemy requires breaking down objects and items into a cauldron of boiling liquid, mixing them, then reforming them into something new.

Appraise - As long as she can perceive it with her senses, she can identify the properties of an object. Though taste and touch are preferable and much more effective.

Compendium - Dorothy can memorize the properties of any object she had used as a material in alchemy before as well as infuse them to her products in the future even in the absence of said material. This ability also lets her remember every recipe she had ever done before.

Bag of Wonder - Dorothy carries around a bag with apparently limit-less dimensional storage space which can also keep anything inside fresh.

Etching - Lets her etch alchemical runes on objects with her finger. She uses this to prepare cauldrons or any qualified alternative. (She also has a rune that lets her heat up the cauldron without fire)

Skills:
Peerless Alchemy - Dorothy is a peerless alchemist. She can make wonder items by combining the properties of more mundane items. She can take this to another level by combining two wonder items into an even more magnificent item and so on and so forth. The resulting product of her alchemy can come in the form of a potion, an item, a magical device or even a living creature like a homunculus.

Backstory:
From the moment she had learned to speak, Dorothy had been called a prodigal genius. She was the pride and joy of the prestigious Baskervilles and it shows. At the mere age of 5 years old, Dorothy became a peerless alchemist. She concocted potions that cured any known disease, made items that can turn the every-man into legendary heroes, and her most popular feat: letting the elderly regain their youth, both in appearance and health.

However, while her accomplishments were something to be celebrated at first, the consequences of her miraculous items were far-reaching and, for the most part, devastating in the long run. The potions that made old age a curable disease had rendered the inheritance system obsolete, triggering an age of rampant succession wars in the aristocracy. The potions that cured diseases increased the life expectancy of the general populace, setting off a population boom that the Kingdom was ill-equipped to accommodate. Resources quickly became scarce, and the economy was set to collapse. It was in this time of turmoil that the flags of rebellion were rose by the opportunistic enemies of the kingdom, its leaders armed by Dorothy's items.

These combined Crises broke the Kingdom, fracturing it into warring factions that sought to obtain the very origin of all this chaos, Dorothy Baskerville.

It was then when her family home was surrounded and under heavy fire, that she received the letter. In her desperation, she didn't think much before slamming her hand on the word "Yes".
