Leviathan's Children

Causality is a torn and broken screen door on the ancient and crumbling front porch of Reality. Reason went out for a gallon of milk a year ago and never came back. Logic is crying to itself in the corner, rocking back and forth and repeating, “one and one is five and one and one is five,” again and again.

Things are looking up.

Orphaned by the horrors of the Blackland Wars, Ethelia the Windwitch grew up the ward of the Treequeen of Chirioth. Though adept in the woodland arts, her true talents emerged as she grew, and she spent her young adult years searching for other Charmweavers to teach her to control her power. Although she has so far been unsuccessful, she happened upon a Leviathan shard in the Mountains of Ash, which has enhanced her inborn magics to shocking levels.

Before discovering a Leviathan shard, Gyglid was a perfectly ordinary young Wabaglob - witty, amusing, and charmingly naughty.

He's not ill-intentioned, just kind of a walking disaster area. Since he himself is apparently indestructible now, there's been a bit of a learning curve as he adjusts.

The daughter of earth's mightiest queen, Gallabrien is growing up in a time of vicious war between the civilized peoples of earth and a dread force of unknown and ancient origin, a force that threatens to overrun the whole world. Like her mother Sellandarse, Gallabrien is as cunning as she is ferocious, but it is beginning to seem that no amount of strategic prowess will be able to stop the oncoming horde. Instead, a great sacrifice will be demanded if Earth is to defend itself, and Gallabrien will have to bear the consequences of that sacrifice.

Unjustly feared by countless beings throughout time and across the dimensions, Da is in reality the gentlest of The Children. Calm, soft-spoken, and subtle, Da swims through the spaces between the stars, sometimes visible as a vast dark shape flitting through nebulae, or heard sighing in the last moments of a setting sun. While Li sees the Leviathans as a chore, Ka sees them as playthings, and Or sees them as dependents, Da treats them as much-beloved pets, and is often the only one able to coax strays to return home.

Abandoned by her mother on a downtown corner, Nancy grew up a tough, smart, and resourceful child of the streets. Nancy and her little brother have learned to depend on each other and a small circle of friends over the years, and Nancy has become a sort of den mother for the crew. No one really realized the significance of this dynamic, however, until Nancy spent some time in a local tavern hanging out with a whole cast of misfits, got a makeover, and revealed that she was femme. She then had to explain to her friends what “girls” are.

Larry is a friendly, shy, apparently immortal, extra-dimensional being of uncertain origin. He doesn't seem to interact with four-dimensional spacetime in a normal way, and his actual size isn't even clear, since when he's far away he appears to be huge, while he appears to get smaller and smaller the closer he gets. Regardless, he does leave some very large footprints. The fact that he doesn't obey normal rules of perspective could also be why photos of him always turn out blurred.

Allie was the favorite niece of an Avalin warlord, a sharp, clever, and by all accounts lovely young lady, until she was killed in a surprise bombing attack by a local rival. Using stolen technology, her uncle brought her back to life, but got artistic with the project, blending her remains with advanced robotics, as well as with bits of Myzrah's most terrifying predators. The result is that Allie is both a sweet, demure teenage girl, and a psychopathic, bestial, and highly proficient killing machine, prone to outbursts of extreme violence.

Between his absentee mother, who took off before he'd even hatched, his megalomaniacal older brother, his strangely enchanted baby sister, and his out-of-touch foster father, Bill didn't feel like there was much he could count on in this world. In fact, deep down he thought of himself as nothing more than an awkward, oversized goblin, until events forced him to face his innate powers and accept that he might be meant for something more - not just beyond Goblintown, but somewhere out there among the stars.

The leader of the Shival faction on Myzrah, Amber was once a rare voice for peace and tolerance. After he was assassinated by rivals at a parley, Amber's lover coerced a rogue Ulsharri scientist to return Amber to life in a cyborg body. He came back profoundly changed, half-mad, and filled with rage. He traveled to the other planets of the Qaphat system, recruiting or kidnapping others for a series of genetic experiments in preparation for war against the Ulsharri, whom he blames for his own misery and for the hardships of his people.

The front man for Flame & Torsion, Negotiable Evil (real name unknown, but his mom's name is Shawna) was a wisecracking, hard-drinking rabble-rouser with delusions of super-villainy. In the past year, however, a bizarre accident involving the band's van and a station wagon resulted in N.E. gaining the Osmium Seal, the mark of the Spirit of Metal, Bro. He might not have a “plan,” his powers might be weird, and he might not have total control of them, but he'll for sure be moving out of his mom's basement soon.

Betrayed by the man she loved deeply enough to resurrect after his assassination, Mo, once considered the great beauty of her age, was dissected and turned into a sentient incubator by her lover and his pet mad scientist. Now a blending of two species, in combination with a significant amount of advanced machinery, and brutally stripped of her ability to have her own natural children, Mo has fought hard to overcome her desire for revenge on a cruel and often stupid universe, and has focused her energies on raising her son.

Possessing the mind of a terrier, the body of a crusty, hairless polar bear, and the attitude of a toddler, Gromblar the Ogre has been a staple of life in Goblintown for as long as just about anyone can remember. Capable of both selfless heroism and wanton destruction, Gromblar has inspired Queenie to keep a dedicated “Big Guy Minder” on call for times when his sister Nancy is otherwise occupied. Fortunately, Gromblar has almost no attention span, and most goblins seem to enjoy being wadded up and used as playground balls.

Once the chief priestess of the Kyburni goddess of rebirth, Jinivar was kidnapped from Almheth by a semi-robotic undead Avalin warlord and used both as a hostage to prevent Ulsharri interference and as part of a crossbreeding program. The Kyburni are semi-photosynthetic, peaceful, and patient, and Myzrah’s weak sunlight has left Jinivar in a physically weakened state. Nonetheless, she has remained with the Avalin, not only to prevent the violence that has been threatened against her people, but to care for her young child.

Daulac the Sincere is a member of the Knights of the Word - an elite group of warrior-judges who are responsible for upholding the Law of Covenants. In Popivot culture, there is no higher crime than lying - not even murder or war crime. These knights have pledged their lives to seeking out liars and either forcing them to make good on promises or (in the event that their lies are unredeemable) punishing them. Daulac, however, was recently tricked into swearing to defend the cause of a liar, though that cause is not what Daulac believed it was.
