 ~30ISH / ZEMENI MERCHER / OTKAZAT'SYA  / REGÉ-JEAN PAGE

THE UNIVERSE & THE GREED OF MEN ——— A well-travelled, smooth-talking, charming young man who will stop at nothing for the accumulation of wealth and even more wealth, André-Philippe has connections to practically all businesses in every port city in the known world from Novyi Zem to Fjerda; although currently he’s basing himself in Ketterdam to scout up a new location for a factory for his family’s gun manufacturing business. Although he keeps a profile of being a respectable businessman, he’s really looking to partner up with established organisations in Ketterdam, both legitimate and illegitimate, for the purposes of profit and mutual gain.

socorro oleastro

Black Tips. Thief. Former First Army Cartographer.

( Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make. - David Hockney )

( Learning to draw is really a matter of learning to see - to see correctly - and that means a good deal more than merely looking with the eye. - Kimon Nicolaides )

A Black Tips thief equipped with an eidetic and photographic memory, Socorro deserted the First Army partly out of boredom and partly because she thought she was wasting her life. She was restless, easily bored. Being able to travel was nice but she wasn’t sure she believed in the Ravkan cause. She didn’t want to be confined to rules and regulations until she was discharged or killed.

So she bartered passage on a ship, worked odd jobs, and found herself in Ketterdam a few years back. It took time but Socorro found herself joining the Black Tips and putting her skills to good use to help with... acquiring goods for the more established members. Socorro has a collection of maps she’s made herself of important places with pretty valuables. She can be typically found wearing an oversized coat, a parting gift from one of her former employers.

Just watch out for the knives and guns she keeps.

————— DASOM KIR-HWANGBO

29 / EXPERIMENTER && GRISHA TRACKER / OTKAZAT’SYA / LEE JI-EUN

I WILL EAT YOUR HEART ——— An experimenter from Shu Han, like her mother before her (and her mother before her, and so on and so forth), Dasom is a relentless tidal wave of a woman come to hunt a target down — to the ends of the earth, if she has to, if he forces her to go that far. When not otherwise indulging in the singular obsession of her short life thus far, she passes the time by presenting herself as a helpful figure for lost and wandering Grisha, posing as a smuggler determined to “help” Grisha at their wits’ end, only to then deliver them to Shu Han’s clawing, cloying grasp.

nazli ter avest

32. lieutenant. harbor harpies.

( With fifty-eleven girls Posted in the back, diamond fangs in my grill Brooklyn brim with my eyes sittin' low Every boy in here with me got that smoke Every girl in here gotta look me up and down )

joining the harpies changed everything about nazli’s life, something that has cemented her unwavering loyalty to its members and determination to protect them from the barrel’s.

and now it was changing things again.

their leader is gone and nazli, now a lieutenant, suspects everyone. it brings back memories of a troubled childhood, of missing parents and wandering the streets of ketterdam alone.

but she’s not a little girl anymore.

and it’s more than her feeling the loss. for now, nazli is supporting val volkov in her takeover all while watching and waiting for the villain to slip.

Eira Tenovna - Daughter of Shadow

Female | 18 year old | Shadow Summoner | Currently at Little Palace

Born in Fjerda, the country where grishas are looked as something not entirely human. Eira remembers little of her life there other than the fact she was discovered to be a grisha at an early age with a quite special power, marking her as a monster for life, daughter of the shadow. She has vague memories of her mother, Runa who she believes would accept her despite her father hauling her to the capital of Fjerda for trial and imprisonment. But even then, she is unsure if her mother would even accept her and yet she can’t help but yearn for that connection that she’s been missing all of her life. 

During the journey to the capital, the transport was ambushed by a group of Ravkan soldiers and Eira was discovered and bought to the Little Palace at the age of five along with other grisha children. 

The little girl wailed softly while curled up into a tight ball as she mourned for the loss of her life as she knew. The moment that changed her life once she saw her father’s face - cold and hardened. As if she was the very curse herself, as if she brought shame upon him. Then everything erupted. She couldn’t remember how long it went on. Only that there was deafening silence that followed after with a faint ringing in her ears. 

She was tested and discovered to be a rare shadow summoner, a dangerous and powerful weapon that would surely give Ravkans an advantage in their future. She settled into the life of Little Palace, training and studying everything she could learn to be useful. She would never forget the feeling that her father gave her, that she was a monster. And perhaps, part of her believes that. Perhaps the shadows were her demons that haunts her, a cursed reminder that she’s not human. But… perhaps she wants to embrace the demons to serve for the greater good.

Looking for:

Friends at little palace, trainers/instructors, potential love interests?? Maybe people who corrupts her to a more villainous role? Or savior role? Very very flexible on where she goes story-wise <3
