An Eastern woman, dressed in fine cultural clothing appearing in her 40’s but her knowledge seems to span into much older generations. Lady Misayo Moon is from Chīshana Shinden (nicknamed The Origami Palace) within the country of Koji Nakari. Her heritage has ties to both House Both and House Mormont which put her in as a stand-in representative of the Estate, since the disappearance of the Bothmor lineage. Though she is a foreigner, she is vastly intelligent and understands the melting pot of various cultures within Deepstone. She uses her powers to weave protective magics that protect the town from the Fallen Star Curse. She is a powerful mage who is accompanied by her living spellbook, Ink, who assists her with event planning, organization, and even as a secretary.

A Terramite who prides himself as a handyman, spelunker, and inventor. He is around 4’5” tall, has a brown exoskeleton, 4 very fidgety arms, and is always sporting a bandana on his head and a cigar hanging from his mandibles. Grubs usually carries an enchanted pickaxe and his custom hydraulic pressurized speargun. He is originally from Highspire (nicknamed Moonvale) within the country of Evexese and is used to being around Chit’tians and Lumanari. He was 6th oldest of his clutch and decided to take his favorite younger brother, Cricket, to Deepstone to create a new home as adventuring roommates. Unfortunately, Cricket died in a mining accident and Grubs has been trying to find his brother in the automatons and creations he makes, particularly his only sentient automaton, Dutch. Grubs has made many inventions and creations that help the Bothmor Estate Mining Co. out, one notable creation was Ink’s Mechanical defense body, Edge.

A tall 24-year-old graduate of Miglarr’s Academy of Alchemy and Magecraft with red hair and a flustered demeanor. She loves her school mascot (The Spidersnakes), grilled cheese sandwiches and to experiment with tinctures to make poisons, salves, drugs, and even explosives. Her mother is the famous “Enchantress of Calpernica” who is currently working at the school in her later years, as an art teacher. Piper has had her dalliances with the locals and now looks to some old recordings and lyrics of her favorite musical artist, Donovan Gruuz, for direction. When she is on the clock, she heals the miners, makes antidotes for them and stocks up the company supplies for emergencies.

A changeling who is usually 5’8” has metallic silver hair, mottled white skin, and purple eyes. His face is mostly featureless. He is the trouble-making son of a powerful madam within House Both. She sent him to Deepstone until he learned some manners and grace before returning him to her wing of the palace in Tiamat Peaks (nicknamed Skyteeth) to continue her political endeavors. He has been careless too many times and Madam Valenia and his father Lord Bastion have had to clean up since the people were not to know that there were changelings among the royalty. Here in Deepstone, he is without his luxuries but he is swimming in an abundance of entertainment since the locals do not know how to spot a chameleon like himself. He serves Lady Misayo Moon with buckets of information about all the opposing mining companies and gossip within the small mining town. He is a rarity in both the fact that he is a changeling and that he was birthed with psionics, making him one in a billion.

A gentle tall and awkward automaton created by Grubs, who stands at 6’8”. The juxtaposition of various metals that constitute his body were part of the patchwork organized chaos that is Grubs’ ingenious creativity. He wears an old bedsheet that used to belong to Cricket, an amulet that used to belong to Cricket, and a broken Immovable Rod that has been reconstituted into his focus implement and a bizarre mode of transportation. Dutch also wears a magical cone on his head which completes the look of a childish wizard, as he tries to make new friends. In the company, he has been known to do various miscellaneous tasks for Lady Misayo Moon and Grubs. Sometimes Dutch will randomly declare that he is in charge of something within the company and help the person who is actually in charge, like a disillusioned apprentice. So far, he has been doing a good job and will get a nudge in the right direction from his Creator Grubs. 

Holly is a 5’7” sexually attractive 20-something-year-old half-elf with rainbow-colored hair, clothing, and eyes that continuously change color. She strikes most people as unhinged with her bubbly personality and her sexually aggressive undertones that seem more predatory than anything. Those who know her believe that this is a defense mechanism and intimidation tactic birthed from childhood trauma. Her duties at the Bothmor Estate Mining Co. are to designate old items into storage for later use or to sell them in the market. Lady Misayo Moon and the rest of the company see her actual function as an intimidating peacekeeper, keeping the other mining companies in check and not starting anything violent that she wouldn’t finish. Valued for her ridiculously powerful “Rainbow Sorcery” and unsettling presence, she has kept riots against the Estate quelled and political fires at a lower temperature. Holly can usually be seen with her bizarre pink flamingo familiar.

Ink is Lady Misayo Moon’s large animate spellbook that typically appears as a somewhat feminine life-sized origami person standing on top of the spellbook’s open pages. Every part of Ink is covered with arcane inscriptions that are part of miscellaneous spells within Moon’s spellbook. Ink behaves like a paper golem that is deeply connected to Misayo Moon rather than the same entity but Misayo Moon has been known to store or pull magic from Ink when necessary. Ink’s responsibilities have primarily been as a front desk secretary for the Bothmor Estate and handler/organizer of all paperwork within the mining company. When under duress or emergencies, Ink can pull their consciousness from the spellbook and possess a powerful mechanical body designed by Grubs, forgoing their spellcasting in favor of martial prowess. When Ink possesses this body, they refer to themselves as Edge, taking on the role of Moon’s personal mechanical samurai bodyguard.
