July 3, 2021


Let's take a look at our starting seven, shall we?

Six out of seven are actually women – unfortunately the sprites don't reflect that. In the initial view of the embark the only recognizable person is the expedition leader, shown in purple shirt of a noble. This will change soon enough as we assign jobs and roles. Every member of the outpost was given a nickname, to be able to better keep track of individual people.

Windy

I get so jealous sometimes. -Windy

Windy is a 34 years old bisexual female human. She was chosen by everybody as the leader of this expedition. She's a musician, specializing in wind instruments – that's where her nickname came from. Eventually she will be the main entertainer of the fort, lifting everybody's spirits with her music. Until a suitable instrument can be found for her, she will be helping out in whatever ways we need.

Hatchet

All of this buying and selling isn't honest work. -Hatchet

Hatchet is a 26 years-old heterosexual male human. He's going to be the designated tree cutter, and later on the first member of Adventurerguard, the small military of the outpost. He's got some skill in wielding a battle axe, and a few other mercenary skills, which should serve him well as a commander.
