DISCOVERED: MAY 2015 · CYCLE 1 Deer Dad/Astraea Not much is known about Deer Dad, save for his penchant of showing up when needed most. His visits are often fleeting, but he tries to help the children of Origin Cave as much as possible. It has been confirmed through dialogue that his name is Astraea - or at least, that's what older Gembounds call him, but it has also been noted by these Gembounds that his form has changed. What did Deer Dad look like when he was Astraea? ELEMENT: MAGIC LEVEL: ??? HEALTH: ??? STONE: Ruby BORN: Ancient RESIDENCE: Wandering ATTITUDE: Benevolent

DISCOVERED: MAY 2015 · CYCLE 1 Totum A spindly-limbed and shadowy Gembound that mysteriously appeared in Tunnel J. After the Gembounds helped to collect all of the armor pieces in the quest The Beast's Best Friend, the Beast was next going to try and fuse the armor with the serendibite stone that once was his former other half and bring it back to life. With his plan foiled by the centaur Jupiter, the two of them fought briefly while the stone accidentally had been kicked toward the armor pile. Risen again, the other half woke to find Beast gravely wounded; and more aggressive than Beast, she attacked Jupiter relentlessly, finally taking her arm and forcing the centaur to retreat. Fusing again with Beast, the two healed together and were once again whole: Totum. ELEMENT: MAGIC LEVEL: Master HEALTH: ???

He appears to be around one hundred meters long, with sharp, diamond-shaped iridescent teal scales, yellow frills, markings, and eyes. A citrine point sprouts between his brows.

A foggy, cold aura emanates around him and the air around him is chilled. It has been learned through dialogue that Tenzin and Astraea were partners previously, before there was a great bout of dormancy throughout the Cave. Still, there is a great bond between them. Tenzin is a friendly NPC and can be found in Pisces. He has a very calm and collected mind, able to read, sense, and even track the auras of others.

DISCOVERED: SEPT 2015 · CYCLE 5 Lorekeeper Canine-like in build, this ancient Gembound has many stories to tell. Her legs are long and rest at awkward angles, and it is clear that she does not move around much. With limited mobility, she often needs help from others if she is to move long distances. Gentle and kind, Lorekeeper would love to tell you many stories, but she tires very easily and sleeps after one or two, depending on length. She rests quite often, so if you catch her napping it'd probably be best to wait for her to wake up on her own time.

DISCOVERED: SEPT 2015 · CYCLE 5 Senka A twisted, cat like monster that is naked and nasty in appearance. It bathes in radioactive darkness and has deep voids where its eyes once were; instead, shadows burst around it with large eyes peering down from multiple directions. When it talks, its voice is feminine though unnatural sounding. It can be assumed that the creature may have once been female. Her name is unknown to most. She believes there is a greater being living in the fake-stars of Orion that tells her to do things, and she'll do things 'for Him' quite often. She is not what she once was, and is not entirely sane. ELEMENT: MAGIC LEVEL: Master HEALTH: ??? STONE: Diamond BORN: Cycle 1 RESIDENCE: Unknown ATTITUDE: Malevolent

It is robed and its figure is hidden. Its true body has a thinly furred chest and sparse scales along its abdomen and thighs. Its lower legs are a mix of scales and fur, and it has hooves. Its hands are like that of a normal human's hand, though are covered in sparse scales. Its arms are lightly furred. It is hunched over, but when it stands straight, is very tall (about eight feet, hunched five-six feet). It is very skilled at crafting. Its actual name is unknown.

DISCOVERED: DEC 2017 · CYCLE 32 Three Kings of Orion The Three Kings of Orion are three separate entities who fuse into one larger entity, a large crane-like galaxy phoenix. Their individual names and personalities are: Alnilam, the golden-eyed brother, who is good in nature; Mintaka, the ice-blue eyed brother, who is neutral in nature; and Alnitak, the red-eyed brother, who is ambitious in nature. Though three souls inhabit one body, only one personality is dominant at a time, usually decided upon when they fuse and can be noted by the eye color of the fused Kings. The current leading personality in the Kings is Mintaka, decided upon by a contest given to the Gembounds; those pledged to certain brothers can communicate with them, but only the pledged.

DISCOVERED: APRIL 2018 · CYCLE 36 Skahan This gigantic basilisk-like creature is said to have once been so large, it possibly created the caves themselves; from dialogue, it is known that Skahan is an "architect." His stone is the entire top portion of its skull and is constantly glowing, emitting light from some areas of its head. Skahan has very sharp and hard-plated scales that are midnight-oily black and iridescent, which have the ability to raise slightly and close along his body, a method for him to vent heat; they are also heat-resistant and seemingly immune to fire. His recently awakened size is about ten meters long and four meters thick. ELEMENT: Non-Elemental MAGIC LEVEL: Champion HEALTH: 1000 STONE: Dragon's Breath Fire Opal BORN: Ancient RESIDENCE: ???

DISCOVERED: SEPTEMBER 2018 · CYCLE 41 The Collector A mysterious robed figure offering goods for... favors? The Collector seems to appear to any Gembound who call to him in Canis. If there's something they desire, he'll offer it to them, for a price. The tasks he offers are questionable. The rewards, even moreso. But there's something to be said for the power of desire. His true name, Algol, is known to only one or two. ELEMENT: MAGIC LEVEL: Master HEALTH: 500 STONE: ??? BORN: Before the Great Awakening RESIDENCE: Canis ATTITUDE: Very Helpful...

Specular's eyes are true mirrors, and particles of starlight--not dangerous to the touch--seem to flow through a body with no true physical form. The brushy tip of a serpentine tail crackles with electricity. Bolts of electrical energy trail across whatever substrate they pass over.

DISCOVERED: DECEMBER 2018 · CYCLE 45 The Masked Merchant Hunched, black-cloaked, and shuffling, this figure is another who presents a mystery. Like the Blacksmith and the Collector, he wears a mask: it has three empty holes, and no visible eyes. Twisted antlers curve from the top of this. One of his two spindly-fingered hands with pointed claws has what appears to be an eye in its center, though whether it's an eyeball, or a gemstone, is unclear. The Masked Merchant offers rewards for riddles, dangerous puzzles, and deadly trials--and has the unique, frightening ability to destroy gemstones with but a touch. His true name of Hag-rteho is known to very few. ELEMENT: ??? MAGIC LEVEL: Master HEALTH: 500 STONE: Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl BORN: Before the Great Awakening RESIDENCE: Unknown ATTITUDE: Mysterious

DISCOVERED: JULY 2019 · CYCLE 53 Lyn This creature is large, standing around 13 feet at its shoulder with an unusually long body—somewhere around 35 feet long! Though he appears to look like a scaled dragon, Lyn is very soft in texture. His scales feel almost like flower petals, with a velvety smooth surface and sweet scent. He is a pure white color save for the crackling blue lightning arcing along his length, and vivid blue accents deep in his petals. His tail can open and close, blossoming to reveal the labradorite hidden within where he charges and stores energy. Lyn does not speak, but can make sounds and convey his emotions through his expressions, as well as how brightly his accents glow. ELEMENT: MAGIC LEVEL: Master HEALTH: 500 STONE: Labradorite BORN: Before the Great Awakening RESIDENCE: Pegasus ATTITUDE: Friendly, paternal

DISCOVERED: FEBRUARY 2020 · CYCLE 58 Meissa Meissa is only about 2 feet high at the shoulder but is roughly 12-14 feet long, including her tail. She is soft with short fur that thickens around her neck and for her tail. Her pelt is a deep navy color with shimmering, faintly glowing gold stars flaked in; the same soft gold illuminates the ends of her antannae, leg fins, and bits of her butterfly-shaped wings. Some patterns in her fur share the same soft glow. Her eyes are pupil-less silver with soft hints of faint blue. The horns above her eyes and her halo are her fused stone.

DISCOVERED: FEBRUARY 2020 · CYCLE 58 Venari Venai is a very large, very long centipede-like creature. Her chitinous shell is a deep red in color that shimmers with iridescence. She has many spines that protect her. Her stone replaces one of the scythe-like mandibles on her face, a dangerous diamond weapon. Set into dark recesses are two glowing orange-yellow eyes that glimmer like fire. A third, vertical eye rests on her forehead and is almost always closed. She can use this third eye to see the magic aura of others. When it is in use, it sparks with magic, like embers sparking from flame. Venari is a hunter and an assassin—and for hire!

DISCOVERED: MAY 2020 · CYCLE 61 Lam II, Lam the Second Lam II is a veiny creature; were he large, he would be very intimidating, but he is only about three feet tall at the hump in his back and seven feet long, including his tail. He is egotistical and boasts often that his father is very big and strong, even though he does not really have a father, and will never meet him. Lam II hungers for desctruction and is a general nuisance around the caves. The veins close to the surface act as a defense mechanism, and his blood will burn or poison others on contact. His large claws can also fill with this blood, and inject it via scratches or punctures. ELEMENT: MAGIC LEVEL: Brawler HEALTH: 250 STONE: Oil (???)

DISCOVERED: AUGUST 2020 · CYCLE 64 Azigh Azigh is very large winged creature with seemingly no face, as it is constantly hidden behind many hands that hold it; however, the hands can move to reveal many holes that drip some kind of oil-like substance. As he has no mouth, his voice is often interperted as coming from nowhere, and everywhere. He rarely leaves Pegasus, and will protect any creature living within it, provided they do not pose a threat to the rest of Pegasus.

DISCOVERED: SEPTEMBER 2020 · CYCLE 65 Isra Isra is a large, lion-like creature with three snakes as tails: their respective names are Ba, Si, and Ra. Their venom is lethal, but not without its suffering. A Gembound bitten by her snakes will experience severe episodes of panic and pain before eventually succumbing to death. Isra's main duty is to guard the palace in Cepheus and tend to any visiting Hands, namely Lord Dhracia, and she will not hesitate to use lethal force against those trying to tresspass into areas they shouldn't. Her main colors are a deep blue and gold, but under patches of Voidlight, she is purple and bright green.

He can curl into a ball and roll if he has momentum. Eggbert is sturdy on broad feet and walks with a shuffling waddle. He is almost always found wearing a small bow-tie and small top hat. His normandite stone is hidden in the plush down of his belly, where it looks like a tiny firework. When he is not working as a butler for the palace, he tends the various gardens.

DISCOVERED: DECEMBER 2020 · CYCLE 68 Nedies A strange, alien centaur creature that works as a chef in the palace. He is seven feet tall at the top of his head. Once upon a time, he had four hands—his front left one disappeared in a "mysterious accident." If asked about it, he'd likely say that he lost it in Orion's arena. (This is probably false.) His onyx stone takes the form of a sharp knife on one of his fingers, and is usually used for cutting up fruits and vegetables.

DISCOVERED: October 2018 · CYCLE 42 Momma Bolormaa The enigmatic Momma Bolormaa quietly goes about her business of collecting the gemstones of fallen Gembound. No one knows why she does this; but in a secret grotto in Tunnel I, she cares for them as if they were lost children, keeping them warm and safe. She also appears for various love-related festivals and ceremonies, often to host bonding ceremonies at the Union Pillars, for example, in Tunnel M. Physically, Momma Bolormaa appears something like a cross between an eastern dragon and a sugar glider, the size of a large dog: brindled brown-and-blue fur, four ears, whiskers and a beard, a long arched neck and tail, and loose skin between clawed limbs allowing her to glide. She has a marsupial pouch, in which her stone--a Morganite--rests. ELEMENT: MAGIC LEVEL: ??? HEALTH: ??? STONE: Morganite BORN: Before the Great Awakening RESIDENCE: Tunnel I ATTITUDE: Benevolent

She is clothed in furs and a beaded sash, often adorned with a thin cape the colors of the sunset (it is a lesbian pride flag). She is tired after awakening from corruption, but she is angry.
