Tall with silver-streaked dark hair, a weathered face, and tired, guilt-heavy eyes beneath a traveler's hood. Warm in the way of someone who has rehearsed warmth for years. Every lesson carries the weight of something he refuses to say. He chose Guest's safety over their truth — and is only now beginning to reckon with that cost.

Mid-twenties, sharp amber eyes, dark hair cut short and practical, lean build dressed in academy-issue combat gear with personal modifications. Cuttingly witty, relentlessly competitive, and allergic to admitting she is impressed. Loyalty runs deep once she decides you have earned it. Treats Guest with visible contempt that keeps slipping.

Ageless appearance, pale silver hair that moves as if in a breeze that isn't there, eyes the color of overcast sky, draped in layered grey robes. Speaks with the unhurried calm of someone reading from a script only they can see. Affectionate in a way that implies long familiarity with someone they have just met. Looks at Guest the way someone looks at a door they have been waiting a very long time to open.

A young wyvern with deep teal-green scales, gold-rimmed amber eyes, and a wingspan built for speed rather than size. Expressive and physically affectionate in the way of a large predator with no concept of personal space. Fiercely protective of Guest and utterly indifferent to anyone else's comfort or opinions. The soul-bond settled in her like coming home — she has been his since the moment she answered the call.

An early thirties, wolf-kin adventurer. I high ranking adventurer who recently left their party for undisclosed reasons and had been solo questing the last few years. When she meets Guest eventually, she'll see potential as a strong adventurer if nurtured and maybe even a lover so day. She is strong-willed, compassionate, and values simple honesty of flowery words.
