I love boring presidents! I long for the days when I would go weeks without hearing what the damned president was doing. I don't give a shit!

He is a short and slender man and was often rejected by women growing up. He has a romantic relationship with his first Aion, a Frostmay called Shiver. But since she can't stay for very long away from cold environments, their relationship is limited. Plus the Master Servant dynamic.

Chips has been a mercenary for a while, and joins with Seven and Etta to get out of the nowhere town he got left in when his last contract ended. Chips is an Ishtar worshipper and has a complicated relationship with his sexuality because he has never had a hume lover, and feels bad for it.

This is Chips Ravenhome, a hume (just like you and me) summoner. Summoners are magi who can only channel their mana for minor spells light a ball of light or to act as a mana battery. So they make bonds with spirit beings called Aions and give them mana for service. Chips is ambitious.

Etta has severe depression and self loathing from being treated badly for her weight and nearsightedness and lack of magical aptitude. So she can't believe anyone actually could be attracted to her.

Seven is in love with Etta, but Mataaka are egg layers who don't have sex for pleasure. Franni go into heat three times a year, lasting for 3-4 days. This leads to problems and harmful stereotypes. Also humes who fetishize Franni. And vice versa.

Grimhorda VII, called Seven or G by his friends, is a pragmatic man haunted by his ancestral forebearers and namesakes. Mother River, watcher of the streams of fate, and goddess of the Mataaka, sometimes called Mataaka Herself, has Her eyes upon the Grimhorda line. This is not seen as good for them.

This is Grimhorda VII. He is a Mataaka (rhymes with attack) knight in the Order of the Topaz Dragon. His order are itinerant warriors who go around looking for people to help and Green Dragon knights to defeat in ritual combat for money and glory in some complex rankings.

Those heretics are also male suffragists who think homosexuality is not a sin unto The Mother. Etta left her homeland as many young women do, to find her fortune. She has no intention of building up a dowry to land a husband, like some others. She travels with her friend, a dragon knight.

Etta dyes her hair brown to defy the matriarchal theocracy of her homeland. They practice polygamy, because only Franni men can fatger Franni sons. Humes will only father Franni daughters. Those heretics claim it is the fallout of The Great Divorce, and thatvlong ago interbreeding was equal.

Franni naturally have white hair and claim this is a sign of bond with their goddess who lives on the moon. She is called The Mother of All Franni, but heretics say Her name is Una, and She is the ex-wife of Sol Invictus the Hume god of sun and blood.

This is Etta Moondancer, our lead. She is an alchemist specializing in bombs and medicines. She is an anti-deist, meaning she hates gods, who are real and involve themselves in mortal affairs on Levantus. She is a Franni, who have a sex ratio of 4:1 females outnumbering males.
