Victor is an exchange student from Galar. He’s just completed his first school year here in Cerynia (he’s doing medicine). During this time he’s acquired a poison affinity that he is now learning to accept. He has a lot of family trauma with his father hating him and making him believe he was responsible for his brother's death, but he's finally listening to the good advice to go to a therapist.

After fighting with a friend and then his boyfriend, he needs friends and people he can talk to. This could be people that he’s met during the past year and is already friends with or could also be new contacts.

At the moment he mostly wants to distract himself while he can't talk to Archie. When he’s not wallowing in despair, he’s training with Edgar (and overdoing it, he recently got hit by an air slash because he was overworking himself and his pokémon) or could also be found in a bar.

After twelve years of serving as a soldier, Mikhail arrived in Cerynia in February. Since then he’s been trying to start a new life in the region and heal from his past.

The last four months, Mikhail has started to build a life here in Cerynia. I’d love for more people he could connect with and for him to find a kind of family for himself. He deserves some happiness after everything he’s been through. Places he can be found are the gym, a soup kitchen he volunteers at, other volunteering things, or just walking around the city (dude does not like doing nothing). He also plays the guitar and really loves movies (someone should take him to the cinema. He probably hasn’t been to one in a decade).

Mikhail is from a large family and has seven siblings. His parents moved from Baesin to Cerynia 13 years ago. Siblings could have come with them or could’ve come to Cerynia earlier or later. The oldest two or three will have been born in Zarovia and could be in their early forties at the oldest, the others have been born in Baesin. Their mom is from Zarovia while their father is from Baesin.

Mikhail used to have a good bond with them. He was often the one helping in the house and taking care of them. But the way they see him can definitely have changed with how long he was gone. What they do and their personalities are completely open.

Mikhail’s been through a lot the last years. He has ptsd and claustrophobia from the years he served as a soldier and was locked away in prison. I’d like him to deal with these issues some more.

Mikhail lived in Zarovia until he was twelve and then moved to Baesin. As a child he was heavily bullied, but in college he met Viktor and got into boxing through him. He was a pro-boxer until he left to fight in Zarovia twelve years ago. It would be fun to have more people that know him from this time.

Twelve years ago Mikhail left to fight in Zarovia. The war itself ended six years ago when he was arrested by the new leader that had come into power who wanted all his political enemies and people who fought against him gone. When he was freed two years ago, he went to Lesovik, a neighbouring region that Zarovia was invading, and fought there. These are periods of his life from which he could know people. This could be other soldiers or people he helped.

Esmund is the younger brother of the king of Selenia and goes over the region’s foreign affairs. He is very kind and charming on the outside but inside he’s always judging everyone around him and finding ways that others could be useful for him. As Selenia’s head of foreign relations, he’s diplomatic and knows how to conduct negotiations. He’s someone people easily confide in and he always has good advice to give.

He prides himself in knowing all the latest news and gossip in the world of royal and other influential families and has befriended many of them. A lot of his power comes from his vast network of acquaintances and friends that owe him favours because of his side job granting people’s wishes for a price given at whatever time he asks for it.

Esmund is here if anyone’s in need of an asshole or someone whose hobbies are drama, finding out secrets and blackmail.

Jason grew up in Cerynia and has never been outside of the region. His family owns a garage which he’s recently taken over after his father became unable to physically do the job. Jay’s now discovered that the garage is doing really horribly financially and has to keep it running while dealing with an evil stepmother.

Since he grew up in Cerynia he could know other people that have been living in the region for a while. He does archery (has been in a club since he was a child), plays drums, does gymnastics and is a huge nerd (he loves anything sci-fi and fantasy). Old friends or new connections all sound fun.

The garage is big enough that they have multiple mechanics and a bookkeeper employed. The ones who have been with them for a long time will have seen Jay grow up as he’s been helping out at the garage since he was old enough to hold a wrench. They also will have newer employees or people doing a traineeship. While the garage isn’t doing well financially, Jay makes sure they are paid every month.

I haven’t set in stone yet how many siblings he has, so any younger or older siblings are possible for him. Their parents divorced five years ago and three years ago their father remarried to someone who was with him simply for the money. I had the idea that his mother remarried as well and that her new partner already had children so stepsiblings are also a possibility. For biological siblings, deafness runs into their mother’s family so there is a high chance they would also be hard of hearing or deaf, and they would’ve learned sign language from their mother’s side of the family.
