Name: Grip
Age: 19
Species: Human
Pred/Prey: Prey
Gender: Male

Description: Around 6 feet tall. He wears a white button up shirt, trousers, boots, a very shabby and dirty black frock coat and tinted goggles at all times, although he often just uses these as a headband (The world he arrived from had perpetual night – he has never really gotten used to the sun and so insists on keeping them close at hand.) Pale, with unkempt brown hair and blue eyes. Has various strange and archaic devices under his coat. Not very magical, but has shown some ability with water based magic.

History: Grip's history before coming to Felarya is a bit of a self kept mystery. What is known is he came from an industrialized world, although one with areas as wild as Felarya and bathed in perpetual night. The level of technology seems a bit behind other worlds, but is still capable of amazing things, like Grip's Travel Sphere. On that note, for whatever reason, he determined he needed to leave his world in a hurry, using the Travel Sphere for a one-way dimension journey. Not long after landing on Felarya, he encountered Fenja the Jotun, who he impressed with the weapon systems on the Sphere. To his surprise, Fenja quickly befriended him and started a partnership in adventuring with him. He has spent quite a few months with Fenja, who he can count as his one true friend on Felarya.

Personality: On the outside, Grip has a sarcastic and cynical personality, with a dry wit. While not impolite at all, having a well developed sense of manners, he is still cold towards most people and predators. He can be a very good gentleman and is kind to ladies, but still keeps them at a distance. If he does start to warm up to people, he is still hampered by his lack of social skills. The exception is Fenja, who he can get quite angry with, but also a bit more emotional. He can be quite moody and his mood shifts from day to day. In truth, he is a very emotional person at heart who worries and his hurt by alot of things, although he keeps up a cold demeanor to cover this. The cold front also seems to work to cover some parts of his past he'd rather not discuss and he keeps those locked away with his other softer feelings.

The one person he really has a relationship with is Fenja. He is generally much nicer to her than other predators or people. He does argue with her alot and gets frusterated with her irresponsible decisions and serious lack of restraint. However, if anyone were to badmouth or threaten her, he would not hesitate to do serious harm to them. He tends to be more understanding and receptive towards predators, as he's a little disconnected from most of the people on Felarya.

Name: Fenja
Age: 57 (Young for a Jotun)
Species: Jotun
Pred/prey: Pred
Gender: Female

Description: Little less than 70 feet tall. Fenja wears a leather vest and a fur wraparound skirt. She has small tusks, a tail resembling that of a cow and pointed ears. She has an open, friendly face. Her eyes are light brown and her hair fair and shoulder length, being rather messy. She carries a large sack on her back with her belongings as well as a belt with more of these. She wears the Travel Sphere by her side, (a largish brass orb, where Grip lives) it sits in a sling she has over her shoulder. The Travel Sphere has a complex series of gyroscopes and gears that keep the small room inside level at all times. Besides being the humble abode of Grip, it also is the home of several rather deadly weapons. Fenja carries Grip around and he uses the Sphere’s weapons to help her when it’s needed. Not very magical but has shown ability in ice based magic.

History: Fenja grew up with a lot of brothers and sisters in Jotunsberg, the Jotun cave city. She was considered the wild one in her family and was constantly getting into trouble, sometimes serious trouble at that. However, her open personality made her popular with most of the other inhabitants of Efisga Valley (With the exception of the elves, who she developed a taste for). Often the snow dryads or fire nagas would bail her out of trouble. When she grew older, she started to gain a love of traveling, often going very far from Jotunsberg and even out of the valley. At first she was a bit lonely even if she was having fun and collecting neat stuff, but she eventually met a male Jotun who traveled as much as she did. They fell in love and roamed for some time, before he was tragically devoured by a very powerful and rare monster, giving himself up as bait to let Fenja escape. Since that date, Fenja has been a bit squeamish about eating male prey, with the memory still burned into her mind. She also had difficulty starting relationships with other males, either being reminded of her lover or comparing them to him - she started to move towards dating women. After that she was heartbroken. She left the Valley and wandered, just wanting to be alone. She eventually ended up in central Felarya, where she began to regain her cheer after meeting all the interesting (and often attractive) inhabitants, making lots of friends, escpecially in the equally lustful Vivian and Melany. After meeting Grip, who fried some harpies who had attacked her, she decided to make him her partner, partly for the serious firepower the Sphere granted her but mostly because she wanted someone detatched who would wander around with her.

Personaility: Fenja is open and cheerful most of the time, but with alot of stubborness and a constant want for fun. She is very impulsive and will go along with any idea that pops into her head. She also has little restraint and is easily tempted by sex, booze or a potential fight. She loves brawling although she rarely likes losing. She enjoys traveling and collecting things and enjoys the company of friendly people. She can be very kind and openly so and is always ready to cheer someone up. She does have trouble admitting she is wrong, or that something may be impossible for her, having a healthy amoung of arrogance.

As a predator, Fenja is very determined. She usually only hunts in the late afternoon and her preferred target is small groups of females. She has a very strong sense of smell and can lay out a scent map in her head of a wide area around her. Her favourite food is elves, and she also has the most fun chasing them. That doesn't mean that humans and nekos aren't on the menu though as elves can be hard to find. She has developed a taste for neko and finds them almost as fun to hunt as elves. Fenja is upfront and doesn't like to use trickery to get her prey. She chases them to catch and eat them, although even she isn't above a little fun, especially during the chase. Fenja has alot of fun hunting, to the point that a very skilled prey may get let off even if captured, if it gave Fenja an interesting enough chase. Bribing, threatening, offering someone else as food or crying and begging all have no effect on her. A good story might work, if it impresses her enough. She waits quite a while before digesting her prey, usually leaving it until before she goes to sleep, enjoying the meal until then. While a fearless hunter, she tends to not advertise this much around Grip and doesn't talk about hunting at all around him, aware of his status as prey. She usually leaves him behind with her gear while she goes for food. She has also shifted her diet towards elves and nekos rather than elves and humans, sensitive of his being a human, although she's practical and a good meal comes first.

Name: Dylan
Age: 24
Species: Human
Pred/Prey: Prey... technically
Gender: Male

Description: Dylan is tall and fairly well built, though it doesn't often show. He has sea green eyes and fair hair. He wears worn jeans, a waterproof coat, boots and a t-shirt. The t-shirt is green with an upside down triangle on it - a little worn. He has a purple traveling backpack, the most noticeable part being the fishing pole strapped to it. He has a widebrimmed hat, made of straw which he is never without. Dylan does carry a revolver and knife with him - more often than not, however, he forgets to load the revolver, mainly using it as a threat to scare off disagreeable customers. He claims to know no magic, however, occurrences around him while at sea point to at least some sort of arcane power tied to the ocean, even if innate.

History: Not very well known at all. All that can be confirmed is that he only recently arrived on Felarya and before that, he travelled around on Earth. Now he simply travels around Felarya - he doesn't seem to notice the change much. He recently has moved to a small shack on an island off the east coast and operates a ferry service along the coast.

Personality: Dylan is extremely laid back. He takes his work and travel at his own pace, wanting to enjoy every part of it. He is very pleasant, if a bit vague at times, but can be stern in certain situations. The most noticeable part of his nature is his seeming total lack of worry. He has nearly been eaten by predators, but has laughed and joked through the encounters, somehow surviving due to luck. In fact, lucky is the best description of Dylan - unnaturally lucky. He doesn't like it when people get anxious, pushy or aggressive - he just likes to go with the flow.

Name: Cashera
Age: 49
Species: Cecaelia
Pred/Prey: Pred
Gender: Female

Description: Cashera is a tall, slender Cecaelia. Her human half is a bit on the pale side, her lower half being a pale orange. She has a very slim figure, with smallish breasts. Her hair is a light green and long, though longer on one side. Her eyes are a yellowish green.

History: Cashera grew up with others of her species, though she never knew her parents, who were claimed to have been killed. Though she misses them, she was social enough to make lots of friends. She was always seen as a reliable person who could be counted on to help out if needed. She was also extremely sociable and curious, which made her friends among a variety of species. Most of her life has been spent in the sea. She does spend some time taking care of young Cecaelia, operating a sort of informal day care business.

Personality: Cashera is kind, helpful and very sociable and chatty. She enjoys being with nice people and is very curious, liking to learn about different things. Though talkative, she is very thoughtful, if not in a quick manner. She likes to give new ideas a good deal of consideration - she tends to be a little cautious in all things - she has to be when she takes care of children. She is responsible and likes helping and taking care of friends and family. She has a big sister attitude - even to preds older than her. She can be a bit uncertain about things she feels she has no control over. Though happy go lucky, she does have an emotional side to her, which she just feels isn't really needed in most situations - she doesn't like when her emotions get out of control either. She can be very stern and angry though if she feels someone she loves is threatened - even ferocious. This can lead to her being a bit overprotective. She's made good friends with Dylan - he always seems to have a good story to tell and she's even learned a thing or two from them. She doesn't quite get his motives all the time, and his personality confuses her a bit, more so with him being a human - and she wonders exactly how he knows so much.

Cashera hunts an average amount. She tends not to toy with her prey at all. She feels she doesn't really have the time. Most of her victims are from boats. She has gotten into a bit of a habit of going after larger prey, like small mermaids who wander in from different areas. She loves a stuffed belly, though she tends not to do this if she's minding children.


-----

Name: Khrixi
Age: 64
Species: Fairy
Pred/Prey: Pred
Gender: Female

Description: Khrixi is a fairy, with long dragonfly wings. She is of average build, a little bit on the short side but not much. Her appearance and figure are youthful. She has shoulder length chesnut brown hair, which she has tied parts of into small braids. She has also woven various flowers and leaves into it. Her face is attractive, but a bit stern, her green eyes seeming to stare everything down intently. Like most fairies, she doesn't wear anything. She is a very powerful nature mage and is often seen with her plants

History: Khrixi grew up with her family in the Whispering Forest. Her mother was a bit of a ditz and her father had left when she was younger - her mother often just abandoned her children to go chase after her many lovers. Khrixi was the youngest of a large family. She hated it. Her sisters were generally pretty mean to her and the whole family was too rambunctious for her liking. Khrixi hated that she didn't get any attention and her sisters drove her nuts. She left as soon as she could, building her own home and making new friends - but not too many. She lives in a variety of homes she has built at the top of trees - some of these have been destroyed, to her chagrin.

Personality: Khrixi is often pretty brash to people she doesn't like - she lets them know it. She likes her friends, but tends to keep them at a bit of an emotional distance - but she does enjoy social company and will hang out with any fairy - as long as she sees them as "cool" enough for her. She considers herself "cooler" than a lot of fairies she meets, often scoffing at their ideas or antics, especially younger ones. She is fiercely independent and incredibly stubborn - she hated it that she was bossed around by her sisters so now she always makes sure to have it her way. She can get very sullen if she feels she was slighted in any way - she has a very sensitive personality with a good deal of teenage angst.

Khrixi is a clever hunter, making use of her skills at manipulating plants to trap her prey. She enjoys toying with her prey and can be almost sadistic at times, though this depends what mood she's in. She tends to take out her frustration with other predators out on her lunch. This is especially true for female prey, and especially true for attractive female prey. Though Khrixi is undoubtably pretty, her sisters were gorgeous and often rubbed it in her face. She enjoys having a dominating position over a beautiful female - she assume they're all conceited and shallow. Her toying often moves into the realm of torture if she's in a really bad mood - she enjoys even sexually harassing her prey, or letting her plants eat or molest them before she does. She likes using her plants to do her work for her, often letting prey have a glimpse of an escape before cutting it off. She'll have her plants pen them in for awhile before she decides to swoop in, mock them, torment them and eat them.

-----

Name: Ofelia
Age: 92
Species: Lucicamp Slug Girl
Pred/Prey: Pred
Gender: Female

Description: Ofelia is a Lucicamp Slug Girl  - thus she is a large predator, but she's a bit shorter than your average slug girl - most Lucicamps are. Her human half has a faint blueish tint to it, her lower body having the same tint. From her chest down, she has translucent skin that seems to glow and really does glow at her back half. Her slug half can also show different colours in the right light. Her face is round and cheerful, framed by the bangs of her short dark hair. Her breasts are larger than normal and her figure is a bit rounded but still attractive.

History: Ofelia can't remember most of her childhood - she simply remembers living in the area she lived in. She has done a bit of exploring in her cave system and would like one day to meet with more Lucicamps - she's a bit lazy and hasn't gotten round to this. Generally, she's been a good neighbour.

Personality: Ofelia is cheerful and pleasant, no matter the situation. This has a slightly motherly tone - she can console as well as lightly chide. She tends to be a bit of a homebody, content with her daily hunting and collecting of clothes. When she wants to be social, she likes to invite guests over to her house for a small get together with some snacks. She keeps a little garden outside as well. Though this may make her seem a bit of an uninteresting personality, Ofelia has an adventurous streak in her and a well developed sense of humour. She can have very interesting conversations, if one is patient and listens.

Ofelia is a patient and precise hunter, setting her slime traps daily and always making sure to keep up on checking them. She enjoys the whole process and makes sure to do it right. Ofelia sees prey as just food, though occasionally a cute pet and generally just silly little creatures. She is very pleasant with her prey, chatting to them as she reels them in. She doesn't like it when they panic or yell - she doesn't quite wrap her head around their perspective of the situation, she just sees it as rude. She'll patiently ignore such things, gently chide them and then eat them - politely, of course. If a prey looks very distraught and hasn't come off as rude, she may even comfort them before gulping them down. Newcomers to Felarya often don't know her intentions until it is too late. Being rude is the main way to get yourself eaten. The best way to escape is to play along with her, keeping the conversation interesting enough while politely reminding her you don't want to be eaten. The chance is high though that she'll have a pleasant chat and then eat you anyways unless you offer continual excitement.

Name: Shillou
Age: 17
Species: Half-Neko
Pred/Prey: Prey
Gender: Female

Description: Shillou is a short and slight neko, with a skinny frame - some may even call it scrawny, though she does have a bit more than that. She has short, feathery chestnut hair and large deep green eyes. Two brown ears protrude from her head and she has a long tail as well. She wears a purple ribbon in her hair. She wears a brown long shirt, though it is getting small for her and is ripped up a bit at the bottom. She also wears a faded purple skirt, which is ripped at the seams down both sides along her legs and is only getting worse in those areas. She often goes around barefoot or, if she can make them, simple sandals.

History: Shillou was born in Nekomura. Her father was unknown and she was raised by her mother. When she was young, due to circumstances she did not understand, her mother and her were forced to move to Negav. Her mother quickly lost most of their money and they were sent into abject poverty, having to live in the Pit in little more than a shack. Her mother left one day, saying she had her eyes set on a massive haul of treasure that would keep them rich for ages. She had Shillou watch the house, though she never returned, assumed devoured by the wilderness. Shillou continued to live in her small house, scavenging and doing a variety of odd jobs around the city. Practicing nature magic in the city's parks, she undertook various odd jobs gardening around the city. However, following a certain incident, she lost her house and the money she had saved. With no options left she approached the Adventurer's Guild looking for work. She was rejected for her own safety, but independently joined a mysterious group recruiting in Negav, heading off into the Felaryan wilderness.

Personality: Shillou is naturally shy, having learned in Negav that minding your own business was the best way to stay out of trouble. She was generally untrusting of most people, worried that they were after something, which they often were. However, she is at heart very kind and caring and is easily bothered by things she feels are unfair. Her mistrust is contrasted with her deep insight on people. She is good at reading intentions and emotions and tries her best to find some sort of good in all people, though she has little self confidence to find her true worth. Though raised in a rough environment, she sticks closely to her mother's lesson to give everyone a bit of respect and not to judge people by their outward appearance. Shillou is simply a confused young girl. She has the personality to survive, but is also a dreamer and hoper.

Name: Fulmina
Age: 23
Species: Storm Elf
Pred/Prey: Both
Gender: Female

Appearance: Fulmina is an elf of average height and possessing of a very curving and "alluring" figure, being large in all the right places. She has long blond hair so pale as to be white, which contrasts with her bright violet eyes set in a cunning face, though one which can easily turn to seductive. She is slightly tanned from being in the wilderness so much, having an overall healthy and fit appearance. Being an elf she has longer tapered ears, which she decorates with multiple earrings - she also has slightly more pronounced canines. She dresses in whatever is available while not working. Her "work" outfit consists of shiny black armour held together with straps - it does not appear to be very practical, though it is surprisingly lightweight and definitely helps if something needs seducing. The real secret of the armour is it is actually made from insect plates, inscribes so as to project their anti-magic power. It is particularly effective against fairy magic, though not fully immune. However, a fairy who is not aware of the armour will usually mess up their first set of spells. She also wears boots with very good grips, gloves with equally good grips and a sheathed short sword, along with a pack with her equipment.

History: Fulmina keeps her history purposefully vague, although she is still quite young for an elf. She holds herself with a mature air and disconnects herself from her childhood. What is known is that she was born in Elifga Valley, in the north west, to the tribe of Storm Elves. While, as a member of the tribe, she was expected to help and work in unity, she was notoriously independent and roguish. While still fairly young, an unknown event occoured, causing her to be banished from her tribe. She headed south with a merchant caravan of elves. She was the only one to get through the Evernight forest and continued to survive until she reached Negav. She was hired by the Pontus Corporation to work as a fairy hunter. To the surprise of her employers, she actually survived her first attempts and soon became known as one of the few "real" fairy hunters.

Personality: Fulmina generally follows the rule "do unto others whatever gets you rich." She is focused solely on taking care of herself - not only that, but becoming successful, rich and dangerous. She is independent and keeps her own thoughts to herself, though she enjoys teasing people to see their reactions. She is confident and arrogant due to her successes - however, her arrogance may be partially a show - though she brags, she is careful to never overstep her limitations. The fact is, she is cunning to a remarkable degree, more than anyone can realize. She thinks and acts quickly, always planning a few steps ahead to make sure she doesn't end up as lunch. She comes off as greedy and self centered, which she is - she doesn't hate people though. She simply finds them a waste of time and only good for getting themselves eaten. She mocks pretty much everyone, but there a few individuals she has encountered who she does respect, in her own way. Fulmina also can be quite flirtatious, though she mainly does so to either get something she wants or to tease. She is always in control and any man who thinks otherwise is a fool. She does honestly enjoy her sexy side and doesn't mind "adult fun" at all, especially joined with expensive food, wine and settings. Fulmina is simply a survivor, one of the rare few who can actually call themselves experts. She also knows this full well and thus believes she is entitled to do what she wants, to whom she wants and to get what she wants.
All of the bios will go here to keep it simple for my small mind. Besides Fenja and Grip, this bio section will also contain characters who I feel are important - some have appeared in the stories, some only mentioned, some intended to be placed in a story, etc. etc.


If I mention Felarya, it belongs to :iconkarbo:

Ah welcome to our next stop on "Felarya is a sexist and racist hell hole and I'm also in a little bit of a baiting mood (Not a trolling mood because I intend to respond if anyone challenges my theory's on Felerya being a absolutely horrible place to live)" Today we see how Felarya is sexist. These are all the characters that this person considers important in her story's. Notice how only two of them are guys. Yes this is a little bit of a leap but after we've just seen the entire lack of a single male character in Karbo's work we can still say how sexist this place is. I'd like to point out racisim but so far I don't see any. However that doesn't matter since I need but simply look at some of the things you've written and I'm sure to find countless story's where humans get eaten because they are "Lower on the food chain".
