Tales Of Wocdes -- The Silver Protector!
Characters
The list is rather barebones at the moment, and contains minimal describtion. Will likely be filled out more eventually. The main difference between primary and secondary characters is that primary characters are planned to be RO:s, eventually once the story gets that far. It will still be a long time before we get there though.Primary
The twins Atru (m) and Azha (f)
The original inhabitants of the orphanage and the only children already there when you arrive. Both twins have short blond hair and green eyes. Atru is a seemingly silent emotionless boy who clings to his sister Azha. Azha is a little girl shaped ray of sunshine and well-meaning mischief. And chatter!
More characters will be filled out later. A bit more info is available on the blog.
The twins backstory (as given on the blog): DO NOT CLICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW!
The twins were born in a brothel in one of the more unsavory parts of Firgrat and raised up to the point when they were saved.
The woman who gave birth to the twins was a prostitute. She hated how much harder having kids from a random client made her life in a brothel, where life was already hard enough. Well, a bad brothel, there are some prestigious ones in Firgrat where life is pretty damn good in terms of wealth, comfort and safety. The owner also insisted that she can pay for the things the brats need out of her salary.
So she left the brothel and the twins to look for work elsewhere.
The owner of the brothel was angry but in the end decided to keep the twins as “help” for now. They were not forced to "work", not so much to any moral scraps left in the owner. Instead, even in the unsavory parts of Firgrat, using toddlers for that and getting caught would get the entire establishment and everyone in it , workers and clients included, very dead, no matter their wealth or social standing. Also, purposefully killing healthy babies is one of those things that if you get caught, there is not much one can do. So the owner thought along the lines of “eventually they will be able to earn their keep”. I.e. Once they would have been old enough, then they would have had to actually work, but luckily that is not happening.
Instead, as children the twins were made to clean up after clients. They were not treated very well, as in verbally and physically abused, but mostly just ignored and ordered about. So they were just taken away upon discovery, but there was no mass massacre involved.
The same Ancient who got the twins out is often called "Friend of the Unfortunate" and makes it a habit to visit places like brothels and the like, speaking to prostitutes and beggars etc. Even gangs and organized crime syndicates do not want any of that heat because getting caught means being wiped out. It is a sort of self-policing system in that way, that there are some crimes that other criminals will actively stamp out to avoid trouble on a scale no one wants.
Secondary

The Silver Protector in charge of you. Young, excitable and strong. One of the first to be chosen for the new elite order called the Silver Protectors.

Sandor (m)
The Silver Protector in charge of the twins. A good-natured and somewhat shy young man often trailing after the twins with a fond look.
Ethel (f)
The oldest and stout human custodian present in the Orphanage. Many find her intimidating due to the fact she is not prone to smiling but calm observation.
