#kashkash

Um! I’m really focusing on my DnD characters and the Dezba Cases (a story that I’m writing that I’ll be able to continue working on when I’m feeling better/not in so much pain! You can read the two parts of that that are up right here.)  but I’ll just introduce you to the dnd fellas. 

Edolien Ashdale is a fetchling ranger (who doesn’t know he’s fetchling and assumes he’s human).

Ashdale was played in a Pathfinders campaign with the Halloweeners group. He’s trans, was raised by a ghost village, can see ghosts and shit, has/had a ghost boyfriend (it’s complicated), and has a ghost ferret named Braem as his companion. 

He’s extremely loyal to his friends/party members (who he considers his found family), has a dry sense of humor, and tends to be a bit impulsive in his decisions.

Fhwis Hwee Wheeeuw is an engineer and a Silent, a race created by @roadkill-raccoon05 in her seafaring homebrew DnD campaign that we’re currently playing!

Fhwis is literally the big, strong silent type who communicates through whistles and sign language. They like tinkering, ships, tinkering ON ships and... are slowly learning what it’s like to be a member of a group and how party dynamics/relationships work. 

Kashkash is a half-orc half-drow rogue. She is currently unconnected to any game, though I did make a DnD 5e sheet for her and would VERY much like to play her with a group someday. 

Though not necessarily evil (she thinks it takes too much work to be properly evil or properly good) Kashkash is harsh with a cruel streak who likes money almost as much as she likes excitement. She’s willing to do about any task if there’s something in it for her. 

Sialodil Witherwoe is a drow and a hexblade warlock. He’s in a potential future campaign set in the dnd Cure of Strahd universe, but I have not played him yet.

Of Ashdale, Fhwis, Sial, and Kashkash; Ashdale is the only one without any siblings. 

Fhwis, despite their large/brutish size and dangerous life they’ve lived/are living on the sea, has never killed anyone. (At least, not that I can remember.) 

Sial has definitely, at some point in his life, wasted money on silver flakes and companions and booze when he really needed some food and healing attention.

Curbing the excesses of rogue online loan platforms, By Zeenat O. Sambo

In Nigeria, the high-interest rate demanded by many unregistered financing platforms is perpetrating the notion of loan sharking, which is highly disturbing, if not fraudulent and violating of the ethics of loan transactions. Various unscrupulous practices have been evolved to rip off customers through crazy interest rates that many are not well-informed about before getting into. Primitive…
