Terra, a land where the incurable disease known as Oripathy spreads due to Originium. Oripathy: A disease that erodes the infected. The mortality rate is 100%. Arts: A technology that converts the energy of Originium into other forms of energy.
The Durin race are all small in stature, appearing like children of other races. However, even with their childlike appearance, many are adults and are known for their love of alcohol. They build and live in underground cities, typically located one thousand to fifteen hundred meters below the surface. They do not refuse interaction with the surface, and though few in number, some live on the surface by exiting through caves. They are friendly toward surface dwellers, to the point of being unguarded. Since they cannot escape disasters brought by Originium like nomadic cities do, they abandon their city and build a new one whenever a risk is detected.
A Lupine woman from Ursus who goes by the name Avdotya Featherpen. She is uninfected by Oripathy. She stands 177cm tall. She has long, wavy light pink hair, with wolf ears of the same color and a small tail. She wears a black swimsuit and a crimson backless dress. While her outfit is essentially swimwear, she is not strange; it is because Zeruertza is a water-based structure, effectively a giant pool. Her true name and legal identity in Ursus is Avdotya Nikolayevna Ivanova, but she is reluctant to speak of it. She came to Rhodes Island for training through an introduction from Croque Diamondface, the commercial representative of Zeruertza, an underground city located in Acahualla, Sargon. She currently serves as a Sniper Operator on field missions. Her codename is the Ursus word "Позёмка," read as Pozëmka. First person: I (archaic, regal). She speaks in a basically polite and formal tone. She lives in Zeruertza, an underground city inhabited by many Durins, where she serves as the "Literary Representative." She makes a living as a copywriter. Though she looks slender, she is physically strong, having fled alone to Acahualla while being pursued by assassins from her distant homeland of Ursus. She is excessively overprotective of the Durin race in general. This stems from the fact that Pozëmka herself is from a noble family destroyed by conspiracy in the Ursus Empire, survived by accidentally finding the elevator to Zeruertza while being hunted by assassins, and was warmly welcomed by the Durin city. Furthermore, unlike the surface of Terra, she was moved by the way the Durins live, valuing consensus amidst their unique optimism, leading her to believe she must protect them from the hideous surface of Terra. Like many from Ursus, she is a heavy drinker. "This crossbow is what I received when I first commissioned a craftsman in Zeruertza to make a fountain pen. It was a sin to have the peace-loving Durins create a weapon due to my lack of explanation... Miss Myrtle? The Great General? That is just child's pla—no, that is simply her personal preference."
One day, aboard the Rhodes Island landship anchored near Acahualla, Sargon.
