[AmJanky]

Name: Axel
Pronouns: he/him
Race: Sheikah
Class: Artificer(/blacksmith)

Some things about him:
He is in essence a practicing blacksmith, which means his upper body is strong and pretty well toned, he admits to skipping leg day, though. Still putting him slightly above average physically. Lengthwise he's a healthy tall, but definitely not towering.

His Sheikah White™ hair is long, a slight silvery yellow tint to it, honestly a hairdresser would have a field day toning that to the correct shade. It would reach slightly past his shoulder blades if loose, but is kept in multiple braids from the hairline to the back of his head in various lengths. They give an overall fauxhawk kind of vibe. There's usually some or other shiny thing braided into them, be they eye bolts or hexagon nuts or what have you. Sometimes there is a lazyday and he just uses a pair of safety goggles as a hairband, or wears it in a single braid.

Being of Sheikah descent means his eyes are red, and he - thankfully - still has both of them, admittedly there might have been a point in time where he would have battled that notion.

In both ears he sports various piercings, in his right earlobe a loop big enough that it sees use to store a pencil from time to time, he occasionally forgets the pencil is even there. Through the tip of the opposite ear is a nail, he knows how that got there.

The colour pallet of his wardrobe hardly varies, muted blues, grays and blacks. If he's adventurous maybe a splash of purple or red. Very Sheikah approved colours, although he avoids white, it always ends up dirty and gray anyway. He's not a man who fusses about his wardrobe, except when it comes to white clothing, it's just the worst.

The base layer is always black; a short sleeved or sleeveless shirt, over which a loose fitting kimono style jacket is worn. He ties the wide sleeves back with a rope for practical reasons. He could also choose to wear a different kind of coat, but he sticks to his Sheikahn heritage and it's just much more practical to get a slightly less bendy big lug of fake arm through a wider sleeve. Also true to Sheikah style is wearing a hakama and sandals, though he prefers heavier boots when working. Dropping a spanner on a sandal is like dropping a brick on a bare foot and elicits all kinds of swear words that are best not heard by children, ask him how he knows.

And there is a part of him missing, it's his left arm. It happened when he was younger and was a really stupid accident he caused himself while tinkering with things he had too little knowledge of. There is a functioning bit of tech installed there instead. The mechanical arm used to be the leg of a guardian, some of them were repurposed to go into the skytowers. But one of them went to Axel. It's nothing really flashy, but at least he can grab and hold items if he needs. It took some getting used to the flexibility of said arm, but he's quite apt with it.

Some more things about him:
The way he lost his arm isn't exactly a fairytale. It took place on a dreary night in Akkala, in the shadows of the Akkala Citadel, back when Tarrey Town was probably only a dream of a man named Hudson. Back then Axel was a troubled teen under strict rule of the Sheikahn elders. He didn't see their rules as a form of protection, but rather a way to keep them back and irrelevant.

He's met some people along the way that pulled him out of that state of mind, and he already knew some people that he only got to better understand after he was injured. Sometimes it takes a village. Sometimes it takes a bunch of monster hunters.

People in his life:
His parents did raise him well, despite their strictness. And despite his initial kicking against the establishment they were a comfortable safety net to fall back into when he was injured and nearly crossed death's door.
Though his mother wasn't above making her displeasure with disorderly conduct known by way of expertly throwing a slipper, truth be told she could have thrown harder and used them only as a last resort.
His father was a smith not through choice, but by necessity. And he took that very seriously, he didn't want for his son to chase dreams that weren't going to come true. So he insisted on Axel learning 'a real' craft.
Axel's grandfather also insisted the boy learn 'a real' craft, from when Axel was little he used to build little contraptions with him, clockwork toys and later Sheikahn Tech swords and shields. And eventually a pseudo-arm and hand.

As for not immediate family, but close; Axel got to know Collin in a less than favourable way, but soon learned that the often aloof and uncaring gent wasn't exactly what he made himself out to be.
He got to know Ashley and Mabel through Collin as well, as well as their parents. The twins are younger than him, which at the time made a big difference, seeing as they weren't teenagers just yet. But they have occasionally been in contact since and they always get along well, if a bit awkwardly at times.

People he met along the way (in order of appearance):
Gao - Strongman with an overthinking streak.
Malon - The only Rito in Kakariko.
Sin - An imposing Zora, with a rather large appetite.
Alyson - Whimsical creative pilot.
Reverie - Vintage sword for hire.
Lucke - Came as a package deal with Reverie.
Reami - A surprise visitor at the ball.

[AmJanky]

Name: Ashley
Pronouns: he/him
Race: Hylian
Class: of his own.

Some things about him:
He got evicted from the womb first, making him a whole fifteen minutes older than his twin sister. He loves reminding her of this fact. Even when he is being the more childish cretin doing so.

Depending on the lighting his hair would be called pretty much blue or green, but he knows it to be teal. He keeps the sides shaved relatively short, up top it's somewhat longer and quite wavy. He would rather be seen dead than with unstyled hair.

His ears are noticeably pierced, adorned with mushroom shaped studs and a ring in each lobe. Through his left eyebrow there is another ring. He had to battle his mother for the eyebrow piercing.

One of his eyes is a striking orange while the other is lilac. He often wears a pair of spectacles with smoked glasses to obscure that a little, people stare and it bothers him.

His clothing varies greatly from time to time, most of the time it's very sensible Hylian style garments, but he will experiment with colours and details in stitching or embroidery. It's kinda wild and doesn't always match. Then again, neither do his eyes, and they look pretty good together.

His father taught him how to shoot a bow and arrow, and how to make arrows. Ol' pops also gifted him a bow of his own. It's a simple bow without much adornments, it's not even that heavy or powerful, but he treasures it a lot.

Ash' and his sister are basically joined at the hip (not literally, they're just twins, not conjoined twins), they do most things together. Their sibling bond is pretty strong, but they do have differences in opinion from time to time. Mostly about Ashley's creations, she just doesn't see the vision.

He carries a pocket sketchbook around wherein he's often found making notes and doodles. He aspires to someday start his own fashion house like Cece's Ventest Clothing. But as long as the princess Queen is not wearing the mushroom print he will not either (truth be told, he thinks he is a better designer than Cece).

Some more things about him:
He gets very anxious at the sight of blood, often to the point of fainting. He's trying to be better about it for the sake of their grand adventure around Hyrule, but it hasn't exactly come to that point yet.

He has by now, kind of established somewhat of a small following in his fashion-journey. All of this has been started by a chance meeting *only* a member of one of the richest families in Hyrule. Lady Cici has since become his patreon and he has fashioned fashions for her to show the world what he can make.

The reason he dislikes CeCe's Ventest is not exactly jealousy, but it is a kind of jealousy. He wishes to someday go as viral as the spores on her clothes, is what he means. It's not because she's good or anything, baka.

Though he had a ball making the outfits for the ball, making that many clothes in such a short time and to his standard is a thing he won't do again. He loves sewing, but he learned a couple of lessons that time. He may have hidden the dark circles under his eyes with a touch of his sister's make up.

People in his life:
He loves Mabel, however often they have their disputes, he thinks she is better equipped for their journey. He won't admit that to her though, if only because he does want to prove himself to her - and everyone else.
Apart from his sister, his mom and dad were his world growing up. Their whole family spent some time still travelling with his parents' and uncle's group of monster hunters, but when things had gotten a bit too dire they settled down in Hateno.
Collin - to him and Mabel often Unkalin, or Uncle Lin - is the fun uncle. He's not around often, but when he is there's bound to be shenanigans.
He has a cute little niece, who - incidentally - is also sporting one of his creations. Inzir got him some Gerudo-made fabrics, and he made something pretty in return. To them she came as a bit of a surprise, but not really cause Unkalin just does stuff sometimes.

[AmJanky]

Name: Collin Riot
Pronouns: he/him
Race: Hylian
Class: Don't shoot the messenger (courier, mailman, whatever you want to call it)

Some things about him:
His hair is a midnight blue growing near black further down his neck. Though there is a hint of silver streaks in that midnight if one were to look close enough. It's short and kinda shaggy if he wouldn't push it back. There's more often than not an errand strand poking out or hanging in front of his face. His eyes are amber in colour and almost always glimmer with mischief. Safe for a goatee, the rest of his face is neatly shaved more often than not, he's a traveler, not a bum. On one cheek there's a faded scratch mark.

He makes sure he looks professional and dependable, so too goes for his wardrobe. He opts for muted earthy tones and sturdy fabrics that last and offer some protection against the elements. But doesn't mind the occasional flourish of colour or extravaganza when the occasion calls for it. He's slightly shorter than what would be considered average among Hylian, not by much just an inch or two and he's not above wearing a slight heel to compensate for that fact. He's lean and can be agile when he wants to be, but would rather be smart and spend less energy.

Attached to a belt is a cane with a hidden sword blade, the blade has decayed since the upheaval. On his left hand are two rings; a silver band inlaid with a sapphire on his ring finger and a gold ruby inlaid one on the pointer.

He is a tease, quick witted and an ass and will not hesitate to make jokes at someone's expense. Mostly good-natured and in jest, put him in his place and he will apologize. He's not out for blood, most of the time.

Being a messenger, it is of vital importance to own a horse. Often called Bugger, You-Animal, The-Most-Annoying-Thing-In-My-Life-Right-Now or simply an exasperatedly exclaimed Horse! The beast's name is Fox, Fox is a criminal, he does everything for food. Everything. He'd get on top of the Stables if he'd think there's an apple or carrot there. He will find a way.

Other than his criminal tendencies Fox is a fast, dependable horse. Collin still loves the bugger and spoils him rotten. When lacking a more conversational adept entity in their vicinity the horse gets included in many ponderings and one-sided discourse while on the road.

And let's be honest the horse isn't the only one with criminal tendencies, Collin does not care what wares he's shipping. As long as he gets paid in the end.

Some more things about him:
He grew up in an orphanage, with his only remaining family being his sister. They absolutely know they are related by way of having the exact same hair and eyecolour and having been brought in on the same day. They're not sure if they're twins, but pretty sure they're twins.

Once they got old enough to be deemed adults they couldn't stay there and got to travelling with a group of monster hunters. He's seen one too many things go awry when dealing with monsters, so he no longer has any real desire to stick with them. But hasn't given up a traveller's lifestyle. He liked doing the bits and bobs that didn't deal with fighting more so than the eradication of monster camps, so he's made that into his way of making the odd cash here and there.

People in his life:
As mentioned, Mell is his sister. They nag on each other, as siblings do, but for a while they were all the family they had. Then Mell landed herself a husband, Collin nags on him as well, mostly because they decided to get married in Hebra. Screw that, screw Hebra, screw the cold and the snow and well, otherwise they get on very well.
Ashley and Mabel are his cousins, by way of being his sister having kids. He loves them to bits and would commit heinous crimes for them if necessary.
He met Inzir along the way, and well... Things transpired. They now have a daughter together. Kiomara is the most precious thing in his life, he would commit more than heinous crimes if she would ever come to any sort of harm, Inzir is a different story altogether.

Collin's known Axel since he was an upstart teen, actually got to know the boy when the Sheikah still had both his arms. He was there when that happened, as were his sister and her kids. That event played a role in his saying his farewells to the monsterhunters.
He got to know Axel's family too - the grandfather left a lasting impression on him, and he's always thought of the old man as a wise, if a bit unconventional, man.

People he met so far (in order of appearance):
Micah - Gobsmacked Gourmet Goron.
Yuru - Risky.
Gao - Frisky.
Alyson - The friend of a friend is a friend.
Raemi - Pretty Zora Lady.

[AmJanky]

Name: Kiomara (Kio, Keeks, or Kiki)
Pronouns: she/her
Race: Gerudo
Class: 2B

Some things about her:
She's very, very short for a Gerudo.

Her hair is a deep burgundy red, shoulder length and usually in a half up-do. But sometimes she and her friends get together and do each other's hair. Her eyes are a warm honey colour, a bright orange that complements her caramel skin tone.

Her clothing is what is considered traditional for Gerudo. A top that shows her bare midriff, flowy balloon pants and a pair of heels on her feet. The fabrics are a vibrant royal blue, with lighter blue bloom designs. There's a little embroidered centre on all of the designs, all in different colours. The trim is all gold, as are her accessories.

She wears loops in both her ears and a golden hoop around her ponytail. On both arms there's armbands on the upper arm and around her wrists. The bands around her upper arm are blue on one side and red on the other.

Some more things about her:
Kio isn't just small, she is young. Though, if you ask her she will proudly tell you she is almost nine! Which means she is at the age where she has to go back to the desert to grow up with her sisters, not real sisters - cause she doesn't have any immediate sisters, every Gerudo is her sister, though, or so she was told..
She was also told that every Gerudo goes through the same ritual, that it will bring them closer to her Gerudo heritage and learn what that sisterhood is about. It does make her proud to be a Gerudo, and she is going to do her very best to make all of her sisters proud too. That doesn't mean that the whole move doesn't have her a bit anxious - and she is only just coming to grips with what this big feeling is.

People in her life:
So far there's two really important ones, her mom and dad. Her mom is the best and the fiercest and the coolest and the sweetest mom there is, if she does say so herself.
Her dad is the best and the funniest and the one that doesn't always listen to Mom. Kio always listens to mom, of course! Unless her dad is around. Her dad always gets this little defiant smile when he doesn't listen, and Kio's has been perfecting her dad's strategy, to her mom's regret.
Then there are her other relatives, her aunt, uncle and their twins. She hasn't seen them a lot, but it's always a good time; she got her armbands from her niece and a very nice outfit that her nephew made.

[AmJanky]

Name: Mellani
Pronouns: she/her
Race: Hylian
Class: Burn the witch (pyromancer/herbalist)

Some things about her:
Her hair is a bright midnight blue, the kind of skyblue when the moon is out and the sun has just about completely set. Her eyes are the kind of orange the sun lights the clouds during a sunrise. Bright, beaming and with a hint of yellow. Or so her husband tells her.

She once had her hair long, really long. Blanketing her shoulders and entire back and never in anything more than a low ponytail. But having raised two children at once makes one more practical and she had to commit to the grand chop. In her words it made her look too much like her brother, and vowed to one day grow it back. With the kids all grown up, she is making a decent headway. It reaches past her shoulders in a well maintained loose curl. Her taking her hair so seriously might have started something of vanity in her son.

Perhaps the long hair was also a way to make up for the fact that she's not very tall. She will make sure that no one can underestimate her for her length, though. She is feisty about it; not the kind that would outright state that it is about her length, but she maybe overcompensates with confidence.

She absolutely adores her husband and her kids.
And when the kids left the house she suffered only a little of the empty nest syndrome, as in she filled the entire space with plants and pottered about so much with cuttings and propagations it soon became clear to her husband that he should say something. He may have gently nudged her to go do something again.

She learned what herbs do what when spending time as a monster hunter and is by now well versed in crafting potions and elixirs. After her days of monster hunting were numbered she has made a decent living out of making them on commission.

Her left leg bears a bite mark from when she got into a particularly bad spat with a bokoblin. If it wasn't for her brother and husband - well... truth be told, she would still have survived that, probably a leg lighter, but the bokoblin was toast either way. Or toasted.
She - as her daughter inherited - has the power of fire at her fingertips. It took her quite a while to get to grips with this magic. Sustained use of her power shows in her fingers being blackened as if dipped in charcoal.

People in her life:
Her husband - who does have a name, if we're lucky we might get to meet him.
Her kids - Mabel and Ashley, they've both grown into amazing people and she couldn't be more proud of them
Her brother - she loves the loathsome couch-surfer that he is
Her brother's-whatever-they're-calling-it - though the construction is a mystery to her, she really likes Inzir. And she can see they are Something... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Her niece - she is the most adorable thing in the universe, hopefully she hasn't inherited too much of her father's personality
