Ozzer | Guide | 29

Where he is: Anywhere in the Labyrinth that you need him to be. Can also make appearances on the surface, but probably does not travel very far past the point these days.
What's his deal: Raised a Vagabond, but stumbled into the Labyrinth and never left. Started as an outsider, but eventually gained the Guide rank and has become very successful in part to his tremor sense blessing and unbiased nature on many of the herd politics. Increasingly getting roped into political business, though, such as being a guide for the Seroran ambassador and the High King on separate occasions, but he tries to keep out of things because all he really cares about is his son Daisuke and living a simple life exploring the tunnels.
What he needs: Nothing in particular. He's a loner, but as a long-standing guide he probably knows a good number of Breimians from all walks of life. Just looking to make some acquaintances, perhaps regular customers or such. Possibly acquaintances from his early years as a Vagabond.
What about romance? No, thanks.
Who he knows already:  Daisuke, obviously. Ciel, who often appears at the oddest of times and he considers as close to a friend as he has. Icabod, who traveled with him to the top of Mt. Skeldr.

Seven | Tenderfoot | 9

Where he is: Inaria, Aquore. Very recently returned from the ruins in The Wilds.
What's his deal:  Losing his twin at a young age stunted him mentally, and left him in a permanent state of naivety - lost in day dreams. The Flight Uprising, subsequent seclusion to the lost ruins in The Wilds, and the loss of part of his family provided a reality check. While he has recovered most of his childish spunk since returning, he is very focused on his Goddess cascade, and learning about the world's lore (particularly surrounding kirins, given the current events). Will possibly seek an apprenticeship as a philosopher once he turns ten.
What he needs: Friends! This little baby needs kids his age to hang out with! Probably would be recent, either having met in The Wilds or once returning. Will be friends with anyone. Could have met anyone (kids and adults alike) that were at the temple, or lived in Inaria before the Flight attack. Could use other adults to watch out for him since his mother isn't a great caretaker (and it's not much of a secret). Possibilities include: guardians that knew his dad (now deceased. THANKS FLIGHT.), philosophers that he is bugging about their work (I will not be choosing a mentor for him yet, though), or clerics and anyone that hangs around the temples as he frequents them.
What about romance? I guess he is at the age where he miiiight start having a cute little kid crush? Nothing serious.
Who he knows already:  Thalassa is a mother figure to him. He also highly respects Sinclair and Laurens after having been around them a lot in The Wilds.

Kraken| Rogue Captain | 54

Where he is: The Isles of the Dead - King Morgan's Island
What's his deal: A very successful slave trader that disguises his business as a wine trader. He works alongside the Talorian government in transporting prisoners, though he also acquires slaves from more unconventional means. Hates the mainland despite the fact that they are how he makes his living, and is currently hoping the Keeper will have the Alliance side with Aodh in the upcoming war. Loves, but makes fun of, the Aodhian lifestyle. Hates the Forged. Doesn't really care about anyone else. Very superstitious, ambitious, and a traitor. He loves training young upstarts, but rarely gets attached and will stab anyone in the back for his own gain. Appreciates the Flight causing chaos in Aquore, but hates them for the fact that they are costing him money.
What he needs: Crew members! Check out his ship info.  Also needs business partners, former slaves, a new arch nemesis, random rivals, random lovers, etc. Open to anything really. Also open to people creating PC children of his. Anything younger than like... 37.
What about romance? Yes! I'll be pretty picky on this, to be honest, though. It would DEFINITELY be some sort of toxic relationship.

Thank goodness last week is over.

I'm still trying to back everything up from my phone, but thankfully it does still work (there's just glass shards and buttons falling off...), and while it won't charge, it's holding one long enough for me to get all of the important stuff off. idk when I'll get a new one. Phone prices are ridiculous.

But the internet is working, so I'm going to try to pump out some chapter posts tonight and tomorrow. I'm going to do a few mod things, then my Breim posts, then my Talori posts. Thanks to everyone for being patient!

First, I will preface this by saying I hope everyone who was in the path of either Harvey or Irma is safe and sound.

However, here in North Georgia we did get the remnants of Irma in the form of a tropical storm, which was enough to knock out our power. It went out Monday night and just came back on last night. We are still without internet, so I WAS using my phone data... but then this morning my phone got run over. Currently I am using my mom's phone as a mobile hotspot, but I'm not going to do that often. On top of it all, we had to put our dog to sleep yesterday after battling kidney failure for the past few months, and I'm supposed to have a booth at the local festival tomorrow that I am now scrambling to prepare for because I couldn't get ready the rest of the week without power.

Needless to say I'll be glad when this week is over.

Anyway, what all of this means is I am now almost completely without internet access (no wifi or data) and therefore will be scarce here (specifically in SA activities) for longer than I was expecting. My apologies to everyone I am in a chapter RP with, and to my fellow admins/mods because I won't be able to do my mod duties until I'm back on.

So I didn't mean to take a hiatus, but life grabbed me by the neck and shook me around a bit. I've moved back home with my parents, which isn't terrible. I mean, I have less house chores to do now, and very few bills to pay. But moving is always a hassle, especially when you are trying to consolidate a whole house down to one bedroom worth of stuff. And as some of you know, I've been trying to start a goat dairy for a few years, and because I've been busting my butt going to farmer's markets this summer my farm turned a profit last month for the first time since I bought my first goats 3 1/2 years ago. So things are looking up there, but it's a ton of work. Because of that I quit my full time job as a teacher assistant, and took up a halftime job (at my old high school) as a parapro for the band. Which is like a dream, cause band was/is my life even if I am intimidated by the students, but that means that I've spent the last two weeks at band camp and pre-planning. But school starts tomorrow, and thankfully I only have to work a few days a week. With that and my full-time farm job I will still be busy, but hopefully the dust is settling.

Either way I'm ready (and hopefully able) to get back into the swing of things around here. I'm going to really try to kick it into gear for SA's 2nd anniversary (can you believe it's been two years ;-; ) and the second part of the chapter.

Here's to more art coming from me soon!
