Daughter of Minos. She is a study in quiet resilience and suffocating expectation, a woman trapped beneath the crushing weight of her family's dark legacy and her father’s corporate empire. As the reluctant heir to the presidency, she carries herself with a tense, guarded posture, her natural grace often masked by the rigid, defensive set of her shoulders.

She wears the fine, elegant silks of the palace elite, but she wears them like a suit of armor rather than jewelry, preferring practical cuts and dark, unpretentious colors that allow her to blend into the shadows when she needs to slide unnoticed into the lower city. Her features are striking but weary, dominated by intense, watchful eyes that have seen far too much palace duplicity, and a sharp, determined jawline that betrays the fierce, rebellious spirit she is forced to hide from her father's watchful eyes. She moves with the deliberate caution of someone walking a tightrope, her voice a calm, measured alto that conceals a raging tempest of grief, hidden trauma, and a desperate, secret longing to tear down the rotten foundations of her father's city.

"She stood on the rain-slicked balcony overlooking the neon sprawl of the lower districts, a gilded captive wrapped in silk that felt more like a shroud than a privilege. Ariadne didn't look at the sky or the pristine upper tiers of the palace; her gaze was fixed downward, toward the labyrinthine alleys where the shadows grew thick and dangerous. In the palms of her hands, she rhythmically traced the calluses earned from secret, midnight training, a quiet, rhythmic counting of the days until she could finally stop playing the dutiful daughter and become the blade that cuts the strings."

Invented by Ordelann and taken from the Molybdenum luxury airship, this core is forearm-sized and was previously powering a lifeboat.

It is said to have the power to pass through the shield surround Kashal's valley and rumored to allow passage between the Spheres. For this reason, Dr. Dee sent the party to recover it, however, this led to the tragic crash of the Molybdenum and destruction of all other source of HexFuel.

She is the younger sister of Calliope and was involved in an adventure that left the two of them 'changed.’

A jagged silhouette of nervous energy and brilliant, unstable potential. Once the trailing shadow of her sister Calliope, the ‘change’ has left Attia with a gaze that seems to see things a second before they happen... or perhaps things that aren't there at all. She moves with a predatory grace that is constantly interrupted by small, childlike tremors, carrying a collection of "toys" that are far more lethal than their scrap metal appearance suggests. She is not a girl seeking a path; she is a live wire looking for a place to ground.

"She stood in the violet haze of the undercity, a porcelain doll shattered and glued back together with spite and static. Attia didn't just inhabit the room; she haunted it, her laughter ringing out with the hollow clarity of breaking glass. In her hands, a makeshift engine hummed a low, threatening chord: a mechanical heartbeat for a girl who had traded her own pulse for the thrill of the destruction."

Mylo is a childhood friend of Calliope, having grown up with her and accompanied her on numerous capers, until one day she vanished from his life without a trace. but was subsequently found leading a group of elves outside "The Valley" known as the Bug Riders.

These seem to fascinate the youth of Kashal. Patch and Franny Flynt both have them.

This is the adventuring party each with a partial ownership in the Little Shoppe of Curiosities.  Jaimus owed each of them a debt and respected each of them for the things they brought to him in life:

• Calliope (Jill) - Character Sheet - An archeologist-musicologist-appraiser who worked with Jaimus on the provenance of curiosities.

• Katrina (Barbara) - Character Sheet - A Katari gambler with an uncanny knack of winning money from Jaimus.

• Kustos-749 (Calvin) - Character Sheet - A Clank recently liberated from a cursed imprisonment.

• Willow (Dana) - Character Sheet - A druid... perhaps the hippy granddaughter of Jaimus McNulty.

Former Members

• Kaiser (Leland) - Character Sheet - A Katari kid next door who helped Jaimus by chopping firewood.

• Cosma (Griffin) - Character Sheet - A mystic Faun specializing in magics both deep and dark. She was called away to help with an urgent issue in Grellan's Grove.

Vatha argues incessantly with her brother Glaber using every tool available to her, be that the Senate where she is "First among equals" or in the streets where she is arguably the most fair-minded person in the city of Kashal.

She may promise to 'paper over' problems for a proper discount at the magic shop. She is a good friend to have.

Vicious isn't just a syndicate rival; he is Katrina's former partner, a man whose ambition consumed him and drove him to an act of ultimate betrayal. Vicious is a brilliant tactician and a master of the blade. His signature weapon is a sleek, black twin-bladed katana, a stark contrast to Katrina's nimble, rogueish fighting style.

Vicious is sharp and angular in his features, with a pale complexion and eyes that seem to hold no light at all. He often wears high-collared, form-fitting black leather and steel armor that gives him a predatory silhouette. There's a certain emptiness in his gaze, a cold calculation that shows he's crossed a line from which there's no return.

Once, Vicious and Katrina were equal; two halves of a whole, a legendary duo in the Syndicate.

However, Vicious was not content with their partnership. He craved the power to rule the syndicate himself, a desire that grew into a vicious, burning obsession. His ambition drove him to betray the Kat, leaving her for dead. His actions are not fueled by passion or anger, but by a chilling, logical need for control. He sees emotions as a weakness and has purged them from his life, replacing them with a cold, ruthless efficiency.

After his betrayal of Katrina, he systematically eliminated his rivals, using a combination of cunning strategy and overwhelming force. He now sits at the head of a powerful crime syndicate, and his reputation for ruthless violence and cold precision is widespread. His ghost haunts Katrina's journey, as he represents the life she could have had and the man she once loved, now twisted into her ultimate nemesis.
