Shamil or Shanya is about 23yo, he’s a joiner and a socially anxious lanky dude of mixed origins. For as long as he can remember he could see really weird mystical stuff that he tries to never talk about. Then (at the start of our TTRPG) he encounters a witch who was just about to kill him for stealing some inconsequential piece of magical donothing. Shamil is rescued by a member of a local mafia group and made indebted to them for it.

Now, being indebted is a fair share better than being altogether dead, so Shamil starts working for them. He meets other rescue-ees, who now also have to work to pay for their debt. Shamil now finds himself smack in the middle of a mystical community, rich in history and deep in discord. The Soviet Union has fallen and the world order is rapidly changing for all: regular humans, changelings, mages, mediums, haemodependent (or vampires if you like the imperialistic stance), unborn, etc.

Well, being surrounded by all those peculiar creatures doesn’t pass unnoticed, Shamil finds out that he has a sister! Well, she was never actually born but her soul was created together with Shamil’s and she’s been living in an unconscious state inside a plane of existence called “the Underside”. Now that she’s awake, she’s developing her own opinions and a liking to pestering her twin brother. Hanya doesn’t really know what’s it like having a body or what human morals are, but she loves the things she sees through her brother’s eyes and she reaaaaaaly wants to know all about water.

There are perks tho. Shanya and Hanya are closely linked and their minds don’t function without each other. Hanya being finally conscious, she can work together with Shamil to see things unseen to a human eye. And with Shamil’s crafting skills, they can come up with some clever magical gadgets… the moment they learn how the hell to make them.
