•
Name: Iron "Card" Ferrum
•
Age: Won't say, but appears to be in his early 20s or late teens
•
Height: 5' 3"
•
Weight: Surprisingly heavy for his height due to muscle, he seems to be able to hide his strength rather well
•
Specie: An amalgamation (
no, he won't give a straighter answer, nor tell you what he was born as)
•
Occupation: Con artist Occupation? What occupation?
•
Relation: Halo's adoptive brother / Merit's uncle
•
Personality Notes: An exceptionally laid-back type of fellow, he almost seems shy around those he doesn't know. This tends to be more of an act than anything else, giving him an advantage when it comes to gauging a person's personality. He has a good sense of humor, and tends to smile through situations that he probably shouldn't due to his lax nature. It is easy to jump to the conclusion that he doesn't take things seriously, but this is mainly only because he rarely wears his emotions on his face. More than himself, when he feels someone close to him is threatened, he won't hesitate to plant a punch on the opposition.

•
Name: Fage Jaeger Ferrum
•
Age: Toddler
•
Height: Taller than average, due to abnormally long limbs
•
Weight: A lightweight that has a good chance of blowing away in a strong wind
•
Specie: Arachne / Dryad Hybrid
•
Occupation: Child / Royal terror
•
Relation: Card's charge / Halo's nephew / Merit's cousin
•
Personality Notes: This kid is extremely impish, taking great pleasure in spooking and playing pranks on people -- the type of mischievousness that doesn't require one to go out and buy any props to accomplish. He doesn't mind getting dirty if the situation calls for it, and never takes possible consequences into consideration. If he might break a leg as a result of his foolishness, it wouldn't occur to him. He isn't good at giving or receiving compliments, tending to twist the sentiments into a way to tease the other. One would probably be surprised at the precision he is able to employ when he puts his mind to it, having a definitive artistic talent but lacking the patience to stay on this route.

•
Name: Argon "Star" Ārgos
•
Age: He's quick to say 10, but looks more like he's in his late teens, early 20's
•
Height: Quite tall, when he actually bothers to stand up fully; about 6' 5"
•
Weight: Much heavier than the stringbean look suggests
•
Specie: EGADS, WHAT IS THAT!?•
Occupation: Composer / Out-of-work column writer
•
Relation: Halo's adoptive brother / Merit's uncle
•
Personality Notes: If there was one word that best fits Star, it's "lethargic." In fact, he can be downright lazy if someone doesn't prod him with a stick every once in a while; he thinks he needs an average of eighteen hours of sleep a day. He complains an awful lot, but is also determinedly stubborn in proving himself when one shows disbelief in his ability to function. Most of the time, it's simply a matter of the day you catch him on. Most jokes, comments that require one to read between the lines, and anything remotely romantic go right over his head. However, while his intellect may be lacking in the social environment, he is a regular jack-of-all-trades, taking on new activities like a fish to water.

•
Name: Kreutz Valin Ārgos
•
Age: Child (
approx. 5-9)
•
Height: Average for his age (
in other words, a bit of a runt)
•
Weight: A healthy weight due to high levels of activity
•
Specie: Eilian (
Blue-tailed Skink)
•
Occupation: Child
•
Relation: Star's charge / Halo's nephew / Merit's cousin
•
Personality Notes: Although Kreutz is a child with a boundless supply of energy, he isn't exactly hyperactive. He has a lot in the way of patience, able to preoccupy himself where most his age may get bored waiting for something to occur. That isn't to say that he'd like waiting too long, and won't hesitate to complain about it, but he is a highly optimistic individual, if rather arrogant. He'd prefer to stay happy, and at times may seem a little dense because of it. In fact, there are times where he can act rather coldly to others, seem a bit too self-centered for comfort or act upon a large amount of sarcasm. When angered, he can spit venom like the best of them -- if he's able to keep a level head. He isn't a pacifist, and might even be a little too rough on a good day. While he may need to learn to be more gentle with words and actions, his movements could give an adverse impression: he moves with an unbelieveable amount of balance and grace.

•
Name: Aluminum "Stasis" Alumen
•
Age: Maintains the argument of "18," despite years gone by
•
Height: 5' 5"
•
Weight: Much,
much heavier than average
•
Specie: Golem? Demon? ....Armadillo-person?
•
Occupation: Pharmacist / Medic / Tank?
•
Relation: Halo's adoptive sister / Merit's aunt
•
Personality Notes: Understanding, forgiving to a near-crippling fault, and a default demeanor of kindness (if socially inept), this doesn't stop Stasis from being able to put her foot down. In fact, she can be a surprising force to be reckoned with, as long as one takes attitude over outward appearance. She isn't a pushover in the slightest, even
if she may forgive you for blowing up city hall. She doesn't even need to raise her voice to intimidate, as it is unlikely she ever radiates -- or even
feels -- fear. Due to this, she can sometimes seem incredibly reckless and moronically defiant.

•
Name: Platinum "Black" Platina del Pinto
•
Age: Physically, about 8; chronologically, about 5; mentally, much older
•
Height: 4' 1"
•
Weight: About average for his size
•
Specie: Appears generally humanoid
•
Occupation: "Child" / Unknown (
underhanded dealings)
•
Relation: Halo's adoptive brother / Merit's uncle
•
Personality Notes: As someone so young, it is almost appaling as to how well he can grasp situations and hold himself in the rank of an adult; in fact, if one were blind, they may think him a wise old man. Well,
maybe they would, if he wasn't so conniving about it. Truth be told, he acts as though he were power-hungry half the time, and his motives are completely unclear. That isn't to say he won't help anyone out -- quite the contrary, he tends to love doing just that -- but he plays it as though he can gain something from doing so. It is ambiguous whether this is a front, or if there really is something to acquire, on his terms. While normally coldly level-headed, Black can quickly get irritated with a situation or a person, and therefore makes little in the way of friends.

•
Name: Mercury "Cinnabar" Hydrargyros
•
Age: Unknown, and outward appearance isn't going to help
•
Height: On the extremely tall side, but just about never stands completely upright
•
Weight: Incredibly light; about a sixth of what he looks like he should
•
Specie: Unknown; most species can't light themselves on fire and be fine with it
•
Occupation: Black's "pet project" / Weapon
•
Relation: Halo's adoptive... "brother" / Merit's uncle?
•
Personality Notes: He has little will of his own, being under the care of Black and the hypnosis he can employ. Instinctively, Cinnabar is a violent and angry soul, prone to frequent bouts of agitated frenzy. Black's mind skills keep him, for the most part, completely subdued and in a halcyonic state-of-mind. He rarely speaks, and when he does, it is most often in the form of a single word. He is used mostly as a guardian, and Black may even station him outside his room so as to halt anyone from bothering him. He is a rather curious individual when clouded, and in such times, has a habit of following whatever is interesting him at any given time, regardless of situation. He has a fondness for wind chimes.
