🐠 Ready for more fun facts?🐠

As the esteemed oracle, Luka sometimes gets gifts from his followers (which he keeps). Additionally, he's an artist, using art to help make sense of his visions! It is sometimes difficult for Luka to distinguish the present from the future.

Luka sometimes gets gifts from his followers. He keeps every one. Luka also likes to draw, using it to help make sense of his visions. When he was young, it was hard for him to differentiate present and future. Sometimes he still gets confused.

🐠 Oh? Another fun fact?🐠

Yorath, a treasure hunter concealed by the hard outer shell of their suit, collects attractive pieces of mother-of-pearl. They also manage to subsist almost entirely off of pub food!

Yorath collects attractive pieces of mother-of-pearl (as they are a pearl... hidden inside a hard shell). Furthermore, they subsist almost entirely off of pub food!

🐠 We're back with more fun facts!🐠

Emrys, a cleric, would actually prefer chick lit over scripture any day! He is adept at tailoring his own clothes, but only trusts his friend Aurelia to cut his hair into its signature style.

#vndev #gamedev #indiedev
Emrys would gladly read chick lit over scripture if given the option. Due to growth spurts as a child, he had to learn to tailor his own clothes, sometimes even helping other clergy with mending. He doesn't trust anyone but his friend Aurelia to cut his hair.

🐠Time for another fun fact! 🐠

Claudia captained her first mission when she was just 12 years old! She'd also never admit it, but she has a fear of sharks, and tries to avoid them at all costs. In her spare time, Claudia collects antique combs to wear for special occasions.

Claudia captained her first expedition at 12. It went... not well. She is terrified of sharks and collects antique hair combs.

🐠 Ready for a fun fact?🐠

Stura enjoys salty foods, like preserved fish, and loves to sleep in cramped spaces. He does, in fact, practice all of his dramatic monologues in advance (complete with poses). 🤭

#vndev #indiedev
Stura sleeps in a tiny bed for someone of his standing. Rather than a sweet tooth, Stura enjoys salty foods. He does in fact practice dramatic monologues and soliloquies in advance.
