The Found Family
The player party around which the campaign is based. While not made official until they reached an Adventurer's Guild in the Federation, they did initially form to thwart a threat to Joshua in Session 1.
In general
- Family of Choice: The premise of their choice of party name. While a couple of the members are related to another member, as a whole this is how the party sees one another.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: You have a small porcelain Gepettin who stabs with needles, an ancient Warforged, a construct that's slowly turning human, a gunslingers who gets possessed by multiple ghosts and more. Everyone has something going on with them.
Combatants
Aemira Meyer
Aemira "Aemi" Auclair Meyer
Race: High Half-Elf
Class: White Magic Witch
- Adult Sleeps with Stuffed Toy: Has a stuffed bat toy in her bag at all times which she's had from childhood.
- Badass Bookworm: Growing up the local library was practically her second home.
- Combat Medic: Serves as the party's healer, but is more than willing to fire off a Shatter when the circumstances call for it.
- Daddy's Girl: In spades. It turns into a problem for Aemira as to continue on with the party and rescue the princess would involve acting very much against his wishes.
- Dark is Not Evil: Despite being a Witch, Aemira is on the hero's side.
- Determinator: Nothing is going to get in the way of her reuniting her family, even if it involves her having to assist in upending the entire order of the Empire to do it.
- Foil: To Dorothea. Aemira is a witch who grew up poor, holds no rank in the Empire, would be the target of Imperial forces if discovered and is visibly scarred. By contrast as a princess Dorothy grew up wealthy, has lead Imperial forces and her scars are constantly hidden.
- Good is Not Soft: If she views you as someone who can be persuaded to change your ways in the time she has available to her she will, but she is more than willing to put someone in the ground if they're a threat to innocent lives.
- Goth Girls Know Magic: Typically dresses in darker colours, has a thing for bats and the moon but most imporantly is a witch.
- Insecure Love Interest: Between her masked low self esteem and their longer history together, Aemira is this towards both Manny and Dorothy. She does try to hide this however.
- Irony: Hates the Imperial nobility as a class because of their actions towards dark mages like her. Both of her love interests are Imperial nobles.
- Missing Mom: Separated from her mother as a child due to needing to flee the Empire, leading to her being raised by her father. Later once she gains the Sending spell she reconnects with her mom.
- My Greatest Failure: Abandoning Erhenfest. Part of her character motivation is to stop the past from repeating by trying to find a way to stop the Empire's warmongering and genocide.
- Our Elves are Different: Or half elves in this case. In the setting elves typically possess an equivalent lifespan to those of humans.
- Playing with Fire: Zig-zagged. Her curse manifests as constantly hot scars along long sections of her body and she is capable of using the Produce Flame cantrip along with setting things alight with Prestidigitation. Despite this however, in combat most of her spells are not fire related.
- Polyamory: Already has a thing going on with Manny (albeit not yet defined), but her visions show her to be this once Dorothy enters the picture.
- Running Gag: If Aemira is required to do something that involves keeping her balance, she will usually fail. Dexterity isn't even her dump stat.
- Secret Keeper: Is aware that Moustro used to work for the Empire spreading propaganda for it. She agreed to keep the secret for the time being as she felt it was better for Moustro to tell the story to the rest of the party himself.
- Shared Family Quirks: Both her and her cousin Kara are shown to think Aemira's familiar Benny is cute regardless of form.
- Unusual Pets for Unusual People: Rather than summoning a more traditional familiar, hers is a firebat named Benny.
- You Can't Go Home Again: Twice. First forced to flee from the Florens Duchy as a child with her father. The second being the Inciting Incident for her backstory in the Imperial attack on Erhenfest.
