Shadow Boys

BLAISE
The Other Sister

Blaise is Thea's sister, and they became Nysgod at the same time. She is wife of Thierry and mother of Quinn. Blaise is as bitter and unpleasant as Thea is sweet and gracious--but then again, she may have a few things to be bitter about. She often serves as adviser to newly-turned Nysgods.

MITHOS
The All-Powerful King

Like the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, Mithos is worshipped as a god. He was the first king of the Nysgods and no one remembers a time before him. Though he is a fair and just leader, Mithos hides many secrets, even from those closest to him.

QUINN
The Exile

Quinn was once second-in-line to the throne, but today he is an exile. No one will say what he did, but that makes the whole thing even more mysterious. If you see him, you should run...shouldn't you?

THEA
The Loyal Queen

The Queen of the Nysgod is everything her sister is not: demure, soft spoken, gracious. So what is it that she's hiding behind that mask of hospitality?

THIERRY
The Dutiful Advisor

Blaise's husband and Quinn's father, Thierry is almost as old as King Mithos and is his chief advisor. He's intelligent and considerate, but if you bring up his son's name, don't expect him to stay in the room for long. Duty comes before all.

TRISTAN
The Disenchanted Heir

Your character has been brought into this world to rule beside Tristan when he begins ruling the Nysgods. He's too busy moping in his throne to care. Poor little rich boy.

BLAKE
The Party Boy

Blake is Edwin's mate. In contrast to Edwin, he is outgoing and exceedingly friendly. Blake throws the best parties in all of Dagaz, and owns one of the only establishments in the city that serves actual food and drink. He loves to gossip, so if your character has questions, Blake might be worth getting to know.

EDWIN
The Head of Seers

Edwin was once best friends with Quinn, Tristan, and Jaan. Now, he prefers to spend most of his time off of work with his mate, Blake. Head of the Seers Guild, the soft-spoken Edwin is kind but mostly ineffectual. Still, he knows more about Tristan and Quinn than almost anyone.

HESIOD
The Banished Carver

This high-ranking Carver was banished from Dagaz, much like Quinn. He is a revolutionary thinker, and is not known to especially pleasant. He managed to take his staff with him when he left. If you hear anything about him from the Nysgods, it will be that Hesiod is dangerous.

JAAN
The Rebel

One of the more vocal members of the second generation, Jaan is a longtime friend of Edwin, Quinn, and Blake. In the Nysgod realm, he's known for having radical ideas about changing the way the Nysgods exist and has earned many enemies because of it. It is said that many members of the race are watching him, just waiting for him to step over the line so he can be exiled, but he's been on his best behavior lately.

ROBIN
The Lost One

Robin has not been seen or heard from in centuries. Many of the younger Nysgods often refer to him with a sad fondness. Just what happened to him, however, is a bit of a mystery.

SKOKAN
The Perfect Servant

Responsible for the creation of the Grasp, Skokan has been charged with the task of finding Prince Tristan his mate. Stiff and proper, Skokan shows no signs of having a life outside of his duties to the royal family.

URI
The Head Carver

Uri holds a position of power that puts him almost on the same level as the royal family. Patient and intelligent, he presides over much of the everyday business of the realm. His appearance is markedly different from the other Nysgods, as he looks much older and will often claim that he is.

ADRIANA
The Ballerina

Adriana has been brought in with Casey to aid your characters before they are presented to Prince Tristan. Adriana isn't a Nysgod, but she seems to know a lot about them. The charming redhead is as comfortable as Casey is awkward in social situations. Still, how did a mortal dancer end up with this gig?

CASEY
The Alchemist

Behind a clumsy and awkward exterior hides the brilliant mind of a prodigy. This alchemist and geneticist has been brought in to help guide Tristan's potential mates. Human, but with an unnervingly other presence to her, Casey seems to know more about the Nysgods than she's letting on.
