Chapter Text

 

Sorry for the long wait I’m just absolutely horrible at writing lol and I’ve been horribly busy

Main characters

Laurel is tall and gaunt, standing an awkward 6’0”, her body all narrow lines and fragile angles, as though she were stretched just a little too far. Brittle like a twig and . Pale blonde hair hangs loose and unstyled, spilling down to her waist in uneven strands that seem perpetually in the way. It veils most of her face, leaving her features indistinct at first glance.

What little can be seen of her expression is easy to miss, save for a pair of dull gray eyes that can just pierce through a person in an unsettling way.

She wears an old set of student nurse’s garb made from low-grade synthread, clearly institutional issue and never meant to last beyond training. The fabric is thin and faded, creases linger where it was once folded away, set deep from long storage before being pulled out again and put back into service. It fits a little awkwardly now, as though it belonged to a younger version of her—or was never properly tailored in the first place 

Ethnicity: danish/czech

Psionic hunger: her soul is a parasitical wonder, unable to get close to any anima tree or conventional meditation her psychic heat, she has to regain her strength through sapping it from the plants, animals, and people around her, and after years of psyche neglect has ended with her downward spiral 

Mallory: Mallory stands at 5’7”, with a lean and thinned out by years of hard living. The grey officer’s uniform still hangs on her frame, clean but tired, its sharpness softened by time and disuse,  worn for decades throughout her service. A red beret sits low and loose on her head along with a pair of black shades.

Her curly hair, once thick and carefully kept, is pulled back into a bushy ponytail threaded with the first hints of grey. Loose strands cling to her temples. Fine lines crease the corners of her dark brown eyes and cut faintly into her brow, like years of service have aged her more than she looks

There’s a calm heaviness to her expression, jaw loose, like someone who burnt their nerves out years ago and never fully recovered. She stands with a lazy slouch now, shoulders dropped, weight resting comfortably on one hip. 

ethnicity: Greek/egyptian

Levi: standing proud and tall at 6’3”, a solid wall of muscle shaped by years of labor and brutal training resulted in his rather shapely body. Broad shoulders, a wide chest, and thick arms give him the look of someone who has spent a lifetime carrying more than most could lift. Scars run across his chest and left arm, faint reminders of old fights and harder work, along with a sharp jaw, rocking a buzz cut, and a faint, lazy smile that tugs at his lips. 

He wears worn jeans and a loose wifebeater that hang off his chest, cheap and mass produced crap, while a deep blue flak jacket drapes open to his knees, loose and casual rather than protective. The fabric is marked by age and use, with several large patches littering his coat. 

ethnicity: Latvian

Bionic arm: after he lost his left arm due to a redwood root which had utterly shattered his arm, Levi was forced to draft up after he saw the considerable debt a new arm would cost. A rather clunky, larger arm that never fit right into his shoulder, but had doubled his strength twofold

minor characters(cause I have trouble describing ppl and their features or race lol)

Ephram(before) - a dark skinned man standing at a proud 5’5, wearing a finely woven gold and red vest, custom fitted pants, and shining leather shoes, he walks with a jaunt in his step and a cocky grin with a bright white smile to match. His hair is slicked back and eyes hidden behind wiry half moon glasses, several old silver and copper rings line his fingers marked with a different initial for different family members or benefactors 

ephram(after)-hairs lost its shine and is streaked with ghost white hair, a messy and a unshaven beard covers his face, eyes filled with horror darting left to right at visions only he could see, dressed in plain white uniform and a straight jacket, a far cry from the brilliant man who had been so full of life only 2 months ago.

Tally- standing at a short 5’,

Caroline
