LEON SONGCAT
GRIZZLY BEAR — — — MASTER LEVEL
Leon is a grizzly bear with mastery over the fire element, and is currently learning the light element. He is a Scout for Maji Walezi and lives in Pisces, sharing a den with his wife Makyna. Leon is quite literally a huge teddy bear, he is full of love and fiercely protective of his family and friends. However, he often lets his emotions get the best of him, and as a result tends to be a little overly passionate about issues.

Relationship Status: Married to Makyna
Relations To Note:

Availability: Thread Locked
Location: Pisces (travels SE Quadrant)
Plot Status: Currently in the middle of beating up Hasira with Cancer, Amaria, and Vicktor. His only thread taking place afterward is the hatching of his kids. I won't take any more threads for him until CARNIVORE! is resolved.

Plot Ideas: NO.... Not until i catch him up.

GHANYARAH
KOMODO DRAGON — — — MASTER LEVEL
Ghanyarah is basically an ice dragon. He uses his water element to manipulate ice, and will be testing energy magic for temperature control and animal magic for bloodbending. Ghanyarah lives in Cetus as a Claw - a defender and enforcer. Ghanyarah grew up with a prey/predatory complex so he may be inclined to attack and eat smaller Gembounds. He rarely feels bonds towards other Gembounds, viewing them more as comrades than friends, and romantic 'love' is a virtually non-existent phenomenon for him. Ghanyarah has basically three modes: primal instinct, straight up business, and chaos inducing pun monster.

Relationship Status: Single and asexual af
Relations To Note:

Availability: Open for threads
Location: Cetus (currently map making in SW Quadrant)
Plot Status: Ghanyarah and Eve are traveling the caves so he can finish the map in Cetus. I'd be happy to have threads with him in different locations like Canis, Monoceros, Orion, and the tunnels.

Plot Ideas:
— Ghanyarah and Arkrael go on a date??!? I can't see Ghanyarah developing any actual feelings, because he never does, but damn if this wouldn't be adorable and funny. It will probably lead him to mature some towards mammals.
— I'd like for Ghanyarah to maybe develop a very close friendship with someone. They'd have to be together a lot, and it wouldn't become anything other than a friendship. I don't know. It would be cute.
— ART LESSONS!!!
— FIGHTS!!!!!
— In the distant future i'd like to get an RCS and mutate him into more of a dragon. Any ideas for how to have this happen are welcome!

MAGDALENA
BORZOI DOG — — — PUPIL LEVEL
Magdalena is the weird sickly ghost horse of the Merrymen. She is close to a master of the prokaryotic element, but is dabbling in arcane as well. Her specialties are parasitism and sleep/dream magic - her entire gimmick is the subtle control over other Gembounds. She doesn't speak much and likes to maintain an air of mystery about her. Her greatest fear is weakness, and she essentially disdains herself for her many flaws. Magdalena puts on a stoic, even humble front, but inwardly is incredibly sinister and cares little for others.

Relationship Status: Ambiguous with Nemesis
Relations To Note:

Availability: Closed
Location: Monoceros
Plot Status: Magdalena is currently dealing with the emergence of her own children as well as Nemesis' sudden inheritance of children. This is causing her to undergo something of an emotional upheaval, so she's closed for threads until I sort out all her weird feelings and finish up some threads.

Plot Ideas:
— Magdalena always needs more characters to parasitize and turn sick. Parasite victims will typically be used for energy (and in the future, sight, and access to dreams) until they are drained of health and then discarded. These characters will survive, but dying is also possible if that's what you want.
— She needs more people to practice using her sleeping sickness on as well. They will just undergo the effects of the sleeping sickness, she'll haunt their dreams, then they'll recover.
— Basically if you want your character to get sick/messed up, Mag's your girl!

BARTOS
NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT — — — PUPIL LEVEL
Bartos is an earth elemental that had previously made his home in Orion. This is the location of his den, where he keeps his hoard of treasures. However, he has since been uprooted and is recovering in Pisces, where he will be a temporary(?) member of Maji Walezi. Bartos is a huge nerd who enjoys building structures, but he has recently developed an interest in cosmology and believes that there is a world beyond the cave ceiling. He is fairly naive and still believes the best in everyone.

Relationship Status: In love with Clover
Relations To Note:

Availability: Thread Locked
Location: Pisces
Plot Status: Bartos is currently in Pisces recovering from having his leg broken by Hasira. There, he's watching over the chrysali of his children with Clover. I'll be opening threads for Bartos as soon as Quintus rescues him and takes him to Pisces.

Plot Ideas:
— Threads with Bartos in Pisces as he recovers, and with the chrysali of his children.
— Dream entering! Talking about space! Lets do it!!!

CARAVAGGIO
COW — — — FLEDGLING LEVEL
Caravaggio is STRONG COW!! Though he is a light elemental, Caravaggio will be pursuing the Other level path. Right now he is partially involved in Hasira's herbivore army, but will eventually break away to join Polaris town. He is obsessed with his physical image and perfection, and constantly working out to get those fab muscles. He actually doesn't really care about anybody except White, and is literally the biggest weenie. He'll probably run away at the first sign of sickness or filth.

Relationship Status: Crushing on White
Relations To Note:

Availability: Thread Locked
Location: Polaris
Plot Status: Currently harrassing the golem dam with Tennessee. This is probably gonna be a very important thread in terms of development and will set the mood for his relationship with the Polaris town characters. New threads can happen after this thread is finished.

Plot Ideas:
— As much as Caravaggio actually doesn't care about people, I really want him to develop a close friendship with the Polaris town people. He'll be working in close quarters with them, so may as well make some friends, right? He's never considered anyone 'kin' before so i'd really like for him to develop that bond with these guys.
— Idk, grossing him out is always fun.

LIORA VITA
LAMMERGEIR/RAVEN — — — FLEDGLING LEVEL
As the second daughter of Aza'zel, Liora is quite certain that she's going to become the King of the Bonebound some day. Right now, she's a pressure elemental but focusing on the Other level path to become a Genius. She lives in Canis as a Bonebound and has fun causing havoc and being generally obnoxious. Which, she really is - like, supreme obnoxiousness. She's obscene and speaks the first thing that comes to mind, and when she wants to get her way, she's usually very assertive about it.

Relationship Status: Single and Liorasexual af
Relations To Note:

Availability: Thread Locked
Location: Canis
Plot Status: In the middle of getting curbstomped by Hasira, threads will open up afterwards.

Plot Ideas:
— I'd like Liora to find a partner in crime - somebody that can tolerate her obnoxiousness and likes to cause trouble with her. Liora will tease them a lot, but if they're best friends, then Liora will be more than happy to accept teasing in response. Basically someone she can be a dipshit with.
— More fights!!! Liora's gonna fight everything!!!
— Maybe one day when she matures, she might ACTUALLY qualify to lead something... so that's something I'd like to explore with her character too.

ODYSSEY PESTILENCE
BORZOI/RED FOX — — — FLEDGLING LEVEL
Odyssey is a fresh babby straight from the chrysalis, like literally FRESH, their hatching thread isn't even done yet. They are the prokaryote prodigy of Magdalena and Louie and will be destined for the Master level once they practice enough. They'll probably also dabble in fungal magic, but that's not for certain. Odyssey is an incredibly possessive and passionate Gembound, once they latch onto an idea they absolutely won't let it go. The same can be said for other Gembounds - Odyssey will develop periods of obsession with others during which they want to be wholly involved with the other Gembound, but once the other shows signs of doubt or uncertainty in the relationship, Odyssey can drop them just like flicking off a switch. Since Ody is still young, this behavior is mostly directed towards Illiad, but once Ody realizes that all Illiad can provide is brotherly love, Ody will seek other sources of adoration.

Relationship Status: Polyamorous, but also a baby, so single.
Relations To Note:

Availability: Open for threads!
Location: Monoceros
Plot Status: Odyssey's hatching thread is underway. I may take new threads for them depending on how intrigued I am~~~

Plot Ideas:
— Magdalena is gonna put a lot of pressure on Odyssey to be a prokaryotic champ. This will probably cause Ody to want to practice on others a lot, so if you're in the mood for a fight or to get someone sick, Ody can do that.
— I'd like for Ody to go to Booker to mentor them in fungal magic in the future?? maybe???
