## Recurring NPCs

Ronan Wise

*The Princess and the Dragon* is the ninth episode of the second season of Worlds Beyond.

## Summary

### A Magical Quest

Ronan Wise is on trial for betraying the kingdom when he was an advisor to King Dante and Queen Sayana. He abducted the royal couple’s only daughter and delivered her to a dragon. The dragon did stop eating people in village-size bites, but only for a time. For this useless treason, Wise shall be beheaded forthwith.

The group wins him a reprieve in the form of a quest: if, with their help, he gets the dragon to stop its exactions, or slays it, he will merely be exiled instead. A pixie makes them all — except Jade, who's not in the rom — sign a magical contract that shall enforce their compliance and make it harder to just translate their way out of the deal.

Here, Dale takes a whole new appearance, as a two-feet tall halfling wizard.

### Toward the Tall Dark

The group, soon joined by Jade — who had time to fetch supplies and makes it clear that she has no interest in cleaning up Dante's mess or helping Wise keep his head—, start on their way to the dragon's den, a terrifying mountain known as the Tall Dark.

### Doomed Worlds

Oz reads in Wise's mind that he is not the least sorry about his behavior. It also turns out that Wise moved from Astoria directly to Sanzut, and that he left Sanzut when he realized he could not prevent that recursion from being eaten by planetvores. Even worse, the Estate assumes that Earth is the only prime world that has managed escaped their appetite, and that only because Ardeyn, which was created to isolate it from the Strange, has been up to the job — for now.

### First Croissant

Pine and Jade discuss how Jade still loves the memory of her first croissant: even if she has had better ones since, it was not wrong at the time to believe it was the best thing ever — she just has better information now.

### A Wolf in the Night

They reach a sinister wood and split the party: Jade stays behind with Wise and fails to extract information about Harper, the son she had with Dante when she first came twenty-three years ago. She threatens to kill him if he gets out of line but also agrees to do her best to save him from Inan's wrath if he releases Pine from his oath.

Meanwhile, a terrifying wolf with yellow piercing eyes attacks the rest of the group right after they hear a young child scream three times: a bloody fight ensues, in which Pine is compelled to flee for a time.

## Notes

1. ↑ *NftE*: It is not clear to me that Pine and Jade intended this mostly as an analogy for the Sage. My interpretation is that Pine tries to justify how hard it's been to let go of his cult to the Sage and that Jade doesn't blame Pine for it.

Kidōschule

### Ungelistete Kidō:

* **Umgekehrter Dämon der gegenseitigen Aufhebung** (Hanki Sōsai, 反鬼相殺) Dieser Spruch hebt den Effekt vom Kidō eines Gegners dadurch auf, dass er ihn mit einem Energieschwall derselben Stärke und Menge in genau umgekehrter Richtung trifft. Hiermit kann auch z.B. Shunkō aufgehoben werden.

#### Bakudō:

* **Weißes Kriechen** (Hakufuku, 白伏), das Ziel sieht eine Illusion fallender dunkler Kirschblüten. Währenddessen fängt seine Sicht an zu verschwimmen und wird unfokussiert, während sein Bewustsein schwammig, desorientiert und verwirrt wird, bis es kurz darauf das Bewusstsein verliert. Wenn es wieder zu sich kommt, hat es nur schwammige und unklare Erinnerungen daran, was passiert ist.
* **Zeitstillstand** (Jikanteishi, 時間停止): Ein verbotener Spruch, der von Tessai Tsukabishi zusammen mit *Kūkanten'i* verwendet wird.
* **Kūkanten'i** (空間転位, Raumverschiebung): Ein verbotener Spruch, der von Tessai Tsukabishi zusammen mit *Jikanteishi* verwendet wird. Er transportiert einen Raum von einem Ort zu einem anderen und nimmt dabei selbst aktive *Kidō*-Sprüche mit.
* **Inemuri** (威眠, Majästätischer Schlaf): Yamamoto benutzt diesen Spruch, um Momo Hinamori in einen Tiefschlaf zu versetzen
* **Tanma Otoshi** (タンマ落とし, Zeitweiliger Ausfall): Shinji benutzt diesen Spruch, um Ichigo das Bewustsein zu nehmen und ihn anschließend in den geheimen Trainingsraum der Vizards zu bringen.
* **Noren Mekuri** (暖簾捲り, entkleiden des Vorhangs): Shinji benutzt diesen Spruch, um Aizens Kyokkō aufzudecken.
* **Fusatsu Kakei** (封殺火刑, tödliche Feuersiegelbestrafung): Kisuke benutzt diesen Spruch, um Aizens Reatsu zu versiegeln, welches ihn daraufhin verbrennen soll.

#### Hadō:

* **Gletscherdunst-Sturm** (Hyōga Seiran, 氷河晴嵐) Aus der Spitze seines Zanpakutōs feuert der Anwender eine massive Eiswelle, die Ziele und die gesamte Umgebung einfriert. Stark genug, eine Gruppe Menos Grande auszuschalten und Bakudō #81 Spaltende Leere (Dankū), das Hadō bis #89 einfach blockt, innerhalb von fünfzehn Sekunden zu durchbrechen. (Muss #90+ sein.)
* **Tobender Lichtzahn** (Gaki Rekkō, 牙気裂光), erzeugt an der Spitze des Zanpakutōs einen Kreis aus Reiatsu, aus dem anschließend in Form von Käfigstäben zahlreiche Geschosse aus grünem Licht hervorschießen.

### Ura Kidō (Verborgene Kidō):

#### Ura Hadō:

* Dritter Pfad - Eiserner Wind Mord (Sannodō - Teppūsatsu, 三の道 — 鉄風殺), der Anwender macht eine hackende Bewegung mit seiner Hand, die eine Aura in Form eines großen grünen Drachenkopfes erzeugt, die dann einen mächtigen Wind auf den Gegner bläst.

### Modifikation von Kidō (Kaizō Kidō)

Meister des Kidō können in der Lage sein, bestehende Sprüche zu modifizieren. Hierdurch entstand beispielweise Shunkō, das Hakuda, sprich den unbewaffneten Nahkampf, mit Aspekten des Kidō kombiniert.

* Schwerer weißer Donnerangriff (Jūgeki Byakurai, 重撃白雷) Modifizierte Version von Byakurai, stark genug, um Gegner zu durchlöchern.
UNTITLED Geek Space TV One Shot

## Background

On June 13th, 2018, Dan professionally GM'ed a one shot RPG session in Leviathan's usual slot while Lauren and Steph were in Paris.

Dan had previously sought help from twitter.

The made-on-the-spot system used was dubbed DanSystem in chat. It involved throwing dice with a not entirely clear logic and characters determining the values of their characteristics on the fly. These ranged anywhere from 2 to 1,000,000.

An old crone stirring a mixture in her cauldron magically summoned the characters to her forest and sent them on a quest to find the elusive Kombucha Tree, which they ultimately found in a mesa.

The video is available on YouTube.

## Characters

* Chia, played by Claudia. She was a racer in roller derby with the Derbettes;
* Amber, played by Strix. Amber had an animal companion, a dodo named Peach;
* Cauline, played by Monica. She was a bard playing the flute and a purple violin;
* Courtney, played by Casey.

## Notes

1. ↑ According to all involved.
2. ↑ Note from Strix: Kombuchas don't grow on trees.
3. ↑ Spelling uncertain.
Lt. Wendy Santiago

## Background

Lt. Wendy Santiago has been a rival of *best boy* Lt. Conrad Carls Jr.’s since their days together at the Academy.

According to lower level Guardians Theea Brone subtly interrogated while they were playing Seven Stars in a bar, she is a hard-ass and was top of of the class. Or she would have been, if not for the nepotism Conrad benefited from.

## First appearance

Lt. Santiago was the female officer who smirked at Conrad after witnessing his dressing down by his father, Adm. Conrad Carls Sr.

Theea didn’t like her behavior and started hunting her down at the first opportunity.

## End of season one hook

Everything was fine and well after the explosion of Gennus Landing had destroyed the Raze ship and the whole crew of Tsarin, as well as the survivors gathered by Klaariskees, were safely onboard.

Everything was fine and well, then, until a frigate from ICA hailed Tsarin: Wendy Santiago had finally managed to zero in on her old rival and was there to bring him before a court-martial.

This scene had its conclusion at the beginning of the first episode of season two. Lt. Wendy Santiago decided that her vengeance was better served by letting him pass for dead in the explosion of Gennus Landing than by negotiating the terms of his surrender.

## Trivia

Lauren confirmed that Lt. Wendy Santiago has red hair. In the same sequence, Lizzie realized how Wendy's name was related to Dan's own references to fast food chains.

## Notes

1. ↑ See Ep 5, and a reminder of that rivalry in Ep 12.
2. ↑ See Ep 4.
3. ↑ See Ep 11.
4. ↑ which, by then, included Conrad.
5. ↑ a.k.a. Ep 12.
6. ↑ See Ep 12.
Aneste System

## Background

The Aneste System is in ICA space, in the same sector as the Cupertino System. In this system, a planet called Maera orbits a gas giant.

## Maera

Maera is the planet where the crew of the Bat'leth go to find Chalean Anio, a cyberware expert they are told can install weapons on Tsarin. It is mostly known as a Pleasure Planet, where, essentially, one's wildest dreams can come true as long as one can afford them.

The city where Chalean Anio lives is also called Maera. It is a very dense, cyberpunk kind of city. Its climate is tropical. Locals and tourists all avoid the heat of the day and live at night. Pedestrian and motorized traffic are clearly separated. Its flying cars evoke *The Fifth Element*.

## Notes

1. ↑ See Ep 12, Ep 13, Ep 14.
2. ↑ And, incidentally, the plot that takes place here evokes, and is explicitly described as, a shadow run.
Adm. Conrad Carls Sr.

## Background

Admiral Conrad Carls Sr. is Lt. Conrad Carls Jr.'s father.

Dan / Conrad likened him to Adama in Battle Star Galactica.

He is renowned for the battle at Kipling 7 and the engagement at Fortitude 9.

Contrary to his son, he doesn’t need to exercise with Salmon Bars. His muscles automatically flex all the time, evoking full-body Kegels.

## First appearance

The admiral was first mentioned by Conrad Jr., who was surprised that his father had replied to his detailed report about the Bat'leth's adventure and wanted to meet them on arrival.

Most urgent to him was to collect the dead Hollow and the scientific equipment. He also delivered the new ICA would not move against the Raze until they had a way to fight them, would not move outside their jurisdiction (hence, they would not budge to help in Ary's system) and would only even share their findings outside ICA if it were useful.

When he was alone with Conrad (but his crewmates could still hear), he conveyed his disappointment at the Lieutenant's failure very clearly.

## Notes

1. ↑ Which led Lizzie to remark that young Conrad must therefore look like his mother.
2. ↑ After a thorough investigation, it turns out they is no reference behind these battle names.
3. ↑ See Ep 4.
4. ↑ See Ep 4.
5. ↑ *NftE*: Say, much like a teacher to one of her students, maybe?

Morva (AI)

## First encounter

Morva is the name Rachel Lucas gives to the broken AI of the eponymous, partially destroyed, ship from which, along with Ashley, Kika and Theea, she has been trying to salvage a weapon for Tsarin.

Ashley manages to find out that Morva, the AI, has suffered extra subspace damage when Morva, the ship it was piloting at the time, suddenly dropped from thread space into the place the Durangans who live nearby call the Graveyard, and broke into three main chunks. The core's physical location was in the part of the ship that still had power.

That kind of damage has never been documented before, and it is impossible to know whether the AI's core may repair itself over time as an AI usually does.

At any rate, the way Lauren plays Morva, with short sentences made of very few disconnected words such as Crew... Gone... Broken... Fix..., and long silences, conveys real distress and gets Ashley to try and help and salvage whatever remains from Morva's shattered core.

## Fixing Morva

The crew bring Morva to Echo.

The diagnosis given by the AI named Blue after examining Morva is that *they are beyond repair*, and cannot access their memories. They leave the crew with two possibilities: either let the AI euthanize Morva, or keep her in her disconnected, dreamlike state in the hope that they find a way to fix her.

Morva is eventually merged with Oxana, who gains new feelings in that risky operation. As Oxana puts it:

> *What remained of Morva is still here. I'm not just Oxana.*
>
>

## The evolution of an NPC

Lauren clarified on Discord what Morva initially was:

> *Morva was 100% unplanned, she was initially a broken hostile AI that they would have to contend with, when they reacted with so much empathy I wanted to capitalize on that, so she became not hostile.*
>
>

Nikita "Nik" Volkova

## Description

Nikita has curly auburn hair clipped close to her face. Her olive eyes stand out against her heavily freckled face. Her uniform is tidy and she seems to have herself altogether except for a sparkle in her eyes and a smirk on her lips that lend themselves to shenanigans.

## Bio

Nikita was always a bit of a tomboy with something to prove to herself and others. So when an opportunity arose to become a party of the army, she jumped at the opportunity. Her parents did not want her to go, but she gave them no choice leaving them somewhat exasperated. Only her brother, Mikhail, seemed to understand.

### The Boss

Strawberry keeps calling Sifa *Boss*, and she keeps reminding him that their contract expired 500 years ago. She goes as far as admitting she tried to get him killed when employing him.

### Sifa's name

Iffrithiel asked on Discord:

> *Question for Strix about Sifa. I notice that you pronounce the last name **Quebra-zado**, but know that you asked for it to be written **Quebra-dizo**. I was wondering if there was some reason for that. I know that demonic full names are usually kept secret, so is it to obfuscate Sifa's name? or maybe a misspelling?*
>
>

Strix's answer:

> *@Iffrithiel re: the name. It's a purposeful obfuscation*
>
>

### The deal between Sifa and pRay

Iffrithiel asked on Discord:

> *What kind of deal did Sifa and pRaY have? Also pRaY mentioned not being able to feel that Sifa and Khalid were gone*
>
>

> *so maybe hope?*
>
>

krellen answered:

> *Sifa had pRaY's memories. Or perhaps just the memories of whomever stole pRaY's memories. And she had pledged to never return them - and then did.*
>
>

Iffrithiel reacted:

> *oh shit*
>
>

> *that's what the light was?*
>
>

### pRay's identity

* For Leviathan
* For EAT PREY KILL
* It’s not just fans who do art: see Steph‘s pictures.

## Fan game

Fogsight made a game called *Tales Of The Leviathan*, based on a Leviathan Ep 5 encounter. It is a 2D Space Shooter. Playable from the page and downloadable builds for different platforms.

It's a combat sandbox with infinite waves of enemies.

## About Fan Art

This quote, from Kol\_Drake, in chat, during the break of Ep 15:

> *One of the things I like about all the fan art is... the diversity of styles. Each still ends up giving a glimpse into the characters/instances... with unique feels.*

Gennus Landing

## Background

Gennus Landing is a space station on the way to Pramissa and the site of the wrecked Raze. It has been described as a hub for merchants and "*merchants*" in the middle of bumfuck nowhere.

As *the last outpost before you get farther out into more edgy edges of the galaxy*, it has been a natural stepping stone for the Bat'leth enroute to and from its early adventures, a location to get supplies, refreshments, gossip and valuable information.

## From beginning...

The narration at the beginning of Ep 1 alludes to a minor altercation at Gennus Landing:

> *A miraculous performance occurred and a lot of people left without all of their possessions.*
>
>

Theea immediately adds, defensively:

> *I earned that rifle.*
>
>

This is the first reference in the show to the still unreleased Ep 0.

## To end

The fate of the space station is sealed when a Raze scout grapples it and starts eating it. At the end of a three-episode arc, Theea and Kika successfully overload the station's power cells, causing its destruction and, crucially, that of the Raze ship as well.

## The Laughing Genius

### Background

The Laughing Genius is the bar on **Gennus Landing** where the crew of the Bat'leth imbibe refreshments and mine information.

### The drinks

Soulfire Stir: bursts in flame while being poured. Shaken, served in a big skinny glass.

### The store

The Laughing Genius also has a store. Among its specialties:

* Strong: kind of expensive, strong booze;
* Shit: cheap, home-brewed... the name says it all.

It is advised to mix them but, as these consumers say:

> Hexie: *Some days you need one, some days you need the other.*
>
>

> Xe'anna: *Some days you need both.*

Seven Stars

## Background

On her hunt for the mysterious female officer who had shown disrespect to her dear Salmon Bars, Theea engaged in a conversation with a group of Guardians playing a card game in a bar. The game was called Seven Stars and there would not have been much more to it if Ozai75 had not started designing actual cards and writing rules, which are reproduced below.

## The game

### Rules

## Further appearances

The crew of the Bat’leth discussed a Seven Stars game mentioning these rules at the beginning of Ep 6.
Erzati System

## Background

The Erzati System is located close to Gennus Landing. Hexie was told by an inebriated Vel Nartis that an invisible planet in that system was her best shot at getting a weird ship fixed in the vicinity.

## Composition

There are two visible, inhabited planets in the Erzati System:

* Soestein

* Usera

The existence of a third, invisible to sensors, planet whose existence has been inferred from archeological evidence. This is the planet Vel Nartis claimed had the technology to fix Tsarin. Its name:

* Usvedi.

Given the current ratings of the ships' thread drives, the trip to the Erzati System could take the Bat’leth up to 10 days, and twice as much for Tsarin.

## Notes

### Witches of the Bomb

> *"Violence rides the night
> like a broomstick plucked from God's own hearth
> brushing boot prints pressed to foreign soil,
> a mother Red in the flash of a muzzle's light.*
>
>

> *From out of the silence rides
> tattered beauty of a by-gone brush
> with death, with fire, the hush of the idle
> two souls, two wings, one chance to turn the tides*
>
>

> *Wind whispers of canvas wings
> torn where hammers crack on Axis pride,
> princesses and poets and patriots of the sickle
> living and dying to see what glory brings.*
>
>

> *Their hands were not learned in a fairy tale
> though their selves flicker in the pallid light,
> burned from without and burned from within
> tested by toil and expected to fail—*
>
>

> *but they chip themselves out of the cold of the moon,
> they fly and they dance and they kill and they love
> made brave by the black and the dead at their back
> these Witches made heroes by war's grim tune."*

Oliver "Olli" Taylor

## Persönlichkeit und Wissenswertes

WIP

befreit mit den Worten "remolinar (wirble umher) la volpa"

Das Besondere an Olivers Katana ist zum Einen die leicht milchige Farbe der Klinge, und zum Anderen die Tatsache, dass das Schwert nur eine Klinge und keinen Griff besitzt.
Oliver ist das einzige Lebewesen das es halten kann ohne sich dabei zu schneiden. Die merkwürdige Erscheinungsform dient dazu alle Anderen davon abzuhalten sein Schwert gegen ihn zu richten.

### Resurreción

###

###

Olivers Erscheinungsbild verändert sich komplett und gleicht sich seiner Vasto Lorde Form an. In dieser Form hat Oliver zwei Fähigkeiten.
Zum Ersten hat jede Berührung mit Olivers linkem Arm eine ätzende Wirkung und frisst einen bis auf den Knochen herunter.
Zum zweiten bekommt Oliver die Kontrolle über Sturm und Flaute, mit anderen Worten er kann den Wind kontrollieren.

Irina Ahlberg

## Description

Irina even when trying to look serious still has a sly look on her face, and you can see the fire that burns in her blue eyes. Her curly frizzy brown hair is not always well-kempt, but hidden under her uniform, one might not notice. Her uniform is not always perfect as well, but as untidy as she is, her work ethic and strength from long days on the farm prove to be an upper hand when it comes to her flying.

## Bio

Irina Ahlberg was born in Leksand [Lek-sahnd] in the province of Dallarna [Dall-ar-nah]. The youngest daughter in a family of seven children.  Being the youngest, she has always been loud, boisterous and full of energy - Most often, in order to keep the attention of her parents in their large family.

She grew up on farms, and when her family moved to Moscow, Russia for her father's new job, working with some of the newest agricultural technology, their lives changed. This for Irina, provided her with a new love. Although she did follow in her father's footstep, taking agricultural studies very seriously, it was the crop dusting and flying that got her adrenaline pumping.

When she heard about the forming of the three regiments, she needed to be a part of it. She sat in front of commander Lt. Gen Iger Miroshnichenko Commander 4th Air Army's office, until he finally gave in and let her join their ranks.
1 Year Streamiversary and Crowdfunding Launch

## Background

On August 18, 2018 Geek Space TV streamed for 12 hours straight to celebrate the studio's 1st anniversary and officially launch its 1-month Seed and Spark campaign.

It concluded a week in which Geek Space TV became a Twitch affiliate and started taking subscriptions.

In addition to a D&D session in an unfamiliar setting, an introduction of the Dream Team to Stardew Vally by Bluejay, an epic Predation adventure where humans befriended dinosaurs, an Artin' Around and a now-recurring Wined Down, the event featured two new videos:

* the Best of GeekSpaceTV
* the pitch for the Seed and Spark campaign.

## Dungeons and Dragons

Old and new friends of the Geek Space gathered for a session of Dungeons & Dragons.

In this adventure, an evil wizard changed their totally normal D&D heroes into their 13-year-old players and faced highly unconventional enemies: pockmarked young human bullies, teachers and principal.

GM: Megan Connell

Joined by:

* Alex
* DistractedElf
* Gina DeVivo
* Lauren
* Tristarae

## Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley veteran introduces Markus and Claudia to the game. They share a farm, and apparently also a bed.

## Predation RPG

In this adventure where time-traveling humans have been stuck and settled in the Cretaceous, each player plays one human character and another player's dinosaur companion.

Will the characters find the coveted artifact they are after from an anomalous time anomaly?

Also, stygimoloch is a legit dinosaur genus. For real!

This means that these shows will be part of Year 2:

* A Manor of Speaking: To the Point

* the final season of EAT PREY KILL
* Lauren's new RPG: Worlds Beyond
* the return of Behind the Screens
* Steph's new art show

Xe'anna

### Particularities

Red skinned, with scales. Got claws and luminescent patterns on one arm in Ep 2.

## Background

Xe'anna (played by LizzieTheBold) is the large scaly red female warrior that captains the Battle'th.

She is stoic and severe and wields a large elaborately crafted sword.

Xe'anna's full name is Xe'anna Rendrathi tal Drox'isto.

## Xe'anna and Hexie

Xe'anna and Hexie are lovers. Hexie embarked on her own mission to save the galaxy, which is clearly hard on Xe'anna, who insists time and again that Xexie is still part of the crew.

## The Andartan Princess

Xe'anna is a princess of the Andartan Empire, a matriarchal civilization headed by a queen, Xe'anna's mother. Once mighty, the Empire was vanquished and has been reduced to a fleet of ships that wanders in space.

The Empire's limited resources forces it to send warriors into exile. Only very few of the exiles have ever been allowed back, and only after improving the lot of the Empire in a significant way.

Xe'anna chose exile over the fate of eventually fighting her younger sister to the death. Xe'anna was convinced both that her sister would be a better leader and that she, Xe'anna, would prevail in a fight.

All of this only becomes known to her crewmates after they confront a Hollow who used to be an Andartan and Xe'anna finds this ominous enough to seek her species' fleet despite the stringent Andartan law regarding exiles.

## Notes

1. ↑ Rendrathi is her last name, *tal* means *daughter of*. See Ep 15.
2. ↑ As typed by LizzieTheBold in chat during the break of Ep 15. *NftE*: I can't believe I waited that long to ask 🤔.
3. ↑ See Ep 23.
4. ↑ This section is based on Lizzie's narration in Ep 24.
Kaz

Solar Exalted of the Eclipse Caste

Supernal Ability: Archery

Currently hunting for his sister.

Given the nickname Sad Puppy Man by Monos
Pine Night

### Particularities

Pine and his sister Quake are trying to reunite with the Sage, a person they worship and were tasked with protecting before getting separated.

## Quotes

### Quote #1

You can't make a deal with a dragon; that's how you get bad princesses.

## Background

Pine (Full name: *In the Pines when the Sky was Night I took a Breath*) is a warrior from the Republic of Sanzut. His involuntary translation to Earth detracted him from his mission to protect the revered figure known as the Sage. Pine has a sister named Quake. Pine is as dexterous and swift as Quake is strong.

> *In my brain, he's a knight, but it's not on my paper*,
>
>

is how Claudia describes him as he is riding a hurrok and trying to steer it using the shaft of his glaive as a bit.

Pine is curious about the unfamiliar worlds where events lead him, whether Earth or Ardeyn.

Pine never learned how to read because *The Sage has no use for a knight who can read*. Pine can recognize individual words, such as the word for Sage in his language.

## Ardeyn

In Ardeyn, Pine's weapon manifests as a glaive.

## The Sage

After finding out in the Library that Pine's Sage was an imposter from Earth, Inan made a point to opening Pine's eyes. Inan failed to do so in Paradiso, even when Rowan "The Sage" Wise started to come clean. Then Dale tried to get Pine to trace his own path: he needn’t be somebody else's arrow.

It took Wise calling him and the people of Sanzut as a whole *stupid* to finally turn Pine against him so completely that Pine cut his own braid.

It later turned out that *In the Pines when the Sky was Night I took a Breath* was Pine's formal chosen name — the one that he selected when he became a guard to the Sage —; that he and Quake, who became a knight at the same time, both chose names *that were aligned and yet represented who we were separately*; and that

> *I suppose I will have to pick another name soon.*
>

## About Pine

Pine:

> *I miss it ... to be the power behind an arrow, to be the draw back of the bow.*
>
>

Inan:

> *You are not so great with your words, but wonderful with your actions [...] Actually, you're very good with words: you use a lot of them.*

Monos

Played by Markus (AKA: DrunklyRomantic).

Solar Exalted of the Dawn Caste

Supernal Ability: Martial Arts

Monos is a traveling Martial Artist that uses twin Flamepieces, think handheld flamethrowers, and has a strong fondness for alcohol of all sorts. Also skilled player of the harmonica.

Apparently, at some point in his history, he had a dog, but it was killed by a deranged Sõm--one of his former adventuring partners.

Likes fire, booze and long naps in a cage. Is good with animals.
Yelena Dozminova

## Description

Her brown mousy hair and uniform are often in disarray. Her blue eyes light up whenever she talks about flying and her compact form has made it easy for her to adapt to most planes.

## Bio

Lena grew up on her family farm. From a young age she knew she wanted to fly and did everything within her power to the Agriculture School. More often than not Lena would race through chores and arrive at the school with hay in her hair and clothes still stained from the mud. Because she loved flying so much Lena took the planes up every chance she could -- which means she’s flown in some very inclement weather.

## On the eve of victory

*When we first met Lena she was a very sweet innocent little child who loved to fly and that was her driving focus. We've seen her get changed a lot; she fell for Mel and, when due to some circumstances in the squadron when there was an accusation of there being a lavender woman, Lena stepped forward to protect Mel. Unfortunately that meant that she's really been dealing with a lot of PTSD, that she came back from the hospital, but she was saved from the hospital by an old childhood friend – Alexi – which means that her name went from Yelena Dozminova to Yelena Popova.*

*Unfortunately in this last episode we just found out that Lena's husband Alexi perished in the war.*

*So, I think, to call Lena stable, we would probably need far more sarcasm than my voice is currently providing.*

*She isn't broken yet, she hasn't gone stark raving mad.*

## Notes

1. ↑ *NftE*: This is the closest I could come to quoting Sarah's whole intro for Lena at the start of Ep 13. @TrooperSJP was the first to use the word *stable,* to introduce Lena.
Oswald "Oz" Dukes

### Particularities

Oz is obsessed with the disappearance of Lexenberg, the town where he lived with his girlfriend Laura.

## Background

Oz started interacting with The Strange before the Estate contacted him. He found himself transported to Ardeyn in the past, before his first mission with the group led by Jade Atwood.

Oz only accepted to work for the Estate in order to find out what happened to his wife Laura and their baby. They disappeared when the town of Lexenberg, NE vanished.

With time, Oz has become an admirer of Jade's strength, to the point that he is convinced she will return from the Strange again after her sudden disappearance Hades. Oz has also developed a theory about Jade's link to The Strange, which he shares with Inan shortly after Jade has gone.

## Ardeyn

Oz wears a cloak. His clothes are singed by repeated contact with fire. A reluctant fighter obsessed with sins–his own as well as those of others, which he has the ability to find about–Oz takes off the bandages on his arms in battle, and hits foes with fire-based attacks.

## The Library

Oz doesn’t miss the opportunity the bottomless well of knowledge provides to quench his thirst for answers regarding a range of issues.

## Transylvania

Oz is reminded by Laura of their story together, a story he forgot all about after she extracted a blob of Strange material from his body. This is also where he finds out why and how Lexenberg disappeared — it never belonged on Earth in the first place — and where he is introduced to his son Frank and his daughter Ella.

## Wedding

Oz proposed to Laura, and she accepted, not really knowing what she was getting into — at first. Preparations for the wedding have involved a lot of Pinterest boards.
