Candor That Draws the Horseman's Blade

Dusk caste Abyssal, 25 years old, 6'6, she/her/he/him

When the assassin Hard Truth killed his latest target, he didn't expect her to get back up again and slice his face off. Taking a deal with Eye and Seven Despairs to save her life, she was reborn as Candor. Her mission to deliver more souls to the Eye to convert to her Death Knight army got sidetracked two years later when she took a job bodyguarding a group of adventurers. Over a year, she confronted her past, made new friends, killed a few dictators, fell in love, and had an encounter with the Unconquered Sun that led to her finally achieving some inner peace. Now she plans to spend the rest of her unlife as a beacon of hope for other Abyssals, showing them that they can be free from their chains and that there's a place in Creation for them. She may be a loudmouth who loves to solve problems with violence, but her heart is in the right place, even if it hasn't beaten for years.

Kaida Lyrena

Water aspect Dragon-Blooded, 27 years old, 5'7", she/her

Born to the rich Kaida family of Brightwork, Lyrena grew up having the importance of decorum and responsibility drilled into her, out of the hope that she'd be the first person in her family to become a Realm soldier and bring respect and recognition to the family name. Instead, she screwed up her first assignment so badly she ended up on the run with a group of Tya, pursued by her ex. Now, after running into her childhood best friend and falling into a complicated love triangle with them and another shipmate, she's just trying to keep her life together without going insane so far from the comfortable, controlled life she's used to. An expert martial artist and dancer who uses her fancy footwork to keep herself out of her foe's reaches, the only threat she can't dodge is her own hangups. She's also been forcibly turned into a snake and an evil clown but she's dealing with it tho.
