#ln four

Two: Attendant, Firestarter Two is rambunctious, short-tempered, and the quickest to start arguments, but bubbly and agreeable around those she likes the most. With her firepower, she can create sparks with her fingertips, but can’t actually wield flames unless she channels energy through an object. Her primary tool for the job is a fire poker that's longer than she is tall. Some of her main tasks include keeping the living areas comfortable and organizing inventory. (Scene setting: Fireplace)

Three: Crafter, Seer Three is known as the “gentle giant” for her towering presence coupled with her cautious nature. She possesses a weak form of clairvoyance, with which predictions manifest as in-the-moment gut feelings. Because of a permanent injury that limits her mobility and balance, Three took up a more stationary job as craftsperson, and was given her own space to repair clothes, modify tools, and grow her expertise. (Scene setting: Craft Station)

Four: Mechanic, Light Mage Four is a naturally timid and shyaway person who gradually came out of their shell by becoming more involved in group efforts. Their light magic makes their eyes emit a constant glow, the intensity of which can be altered, and they can form orbs from their hands. Four uses their unique ability to their advantage working as a mechanic in places where light can hardly reach. (Scene setting: Lower Levels)

Day 9: Hunt Didn’t use any particular techniques here, but figuring out relative values for the digital colors was tricky for some reason

Day 11: Light This is actually the first one I made, and I promptly discovered that water-based pens make Italian ink smear. I’m glad it didnt seriously mess things up, but I won’t be doing it again

Day 12: Dolls Trying to gauge how much ink vs digital to use when implying colors

(Again- I should note that heights may not be exact; scaling in this world is weird because even though the Transmission stretched the kids past their would-be natural heights, they still look small against all the oversized architecture and furnishings. Through a combination of researching average heights by region, comparing comic panels, and also applying general feeling I’ve reached some okay approximations)

Four

Age: 20 Gender: Genderfluid (they/them) Ethnicity: Ethiopian Height: 6’0

Story Info: Four has a reputation of being a shyaway compared to the other members of the main crew, but they’re quick to make friends when in the right state of mind, and are surprisingly inquisitive when it comes to others’ stories. This once cowardly individual found confidence through their role as the emergency mechanic, a crucial part of running the ship, and often acting as the leader when traversing with a group through the lower levels.

Roles: Mechanic, light mage, interpreter

Magic: Light magic – has a constant glow in their eyes that dims or brightens depending on setting/mood. (Four claims that they’ve always had this ability and that it’s been difficult to control.) Can also conjure glowing orbs from their hands to see in darker areas; especially useful during mechanical operations in deeper parts of the Maw with limited light.

Wardrobe: Wears stuff that’s good for working in, like plain t-shirts and overalls, and wears their toolbelt practically half the time. Has a collection of headbands/ties/hats etc to keep their hair back while remaining subtly stylish.

Five

Age: 17 Gender: Genderqueer (he/him) Ethnicity: Swedish Height: 5’6

Story Info: The son of a well-off family who seemingly lost everything to a devastating house fire, after which he was rescued by the Ferryman, along with his older half-sister, Two. He was partially blinded due to nerve damage from the incident, a condition which continues to deteriorate his vision with time. Desperate to find better comfort than the Maw’s prison, he wandered the twists and turns of the vessel alone, only to find Two and a group of other kids waiting for him at the Campfire. While Five is naturally understanding and cheerful, the image became harder to upkeep since his life turned upside down at such a young age.

Roles: Communications operator, medium, moral support

Magic: Sixth sense – Can sense the presences of incorporeal beings within a 500-meter radius. This includes shadows and other apparitions that are visible to most, but also spirits and ghosts that sighted people can’t detect. He can also decipher their speech much better than others. Five is one of the few crew members to be born with his magic.
