CHARACTER GUIDE
Age: 25
Species: Ketherean (terranial)
Pronouns: he/him
Erik's a young lad who is going through the worst existential horrors one can face (adulthood)
He's not the strongest nor the most clever, but he finds his way to get through whatever he needs to go through since he's got them street smarts skills.
He's somewhat approachable and friendly (just don't annoy him on the wrong day), and enjoys the company of others but try to mess with him and he'll come up with the best comeback you've ever heard and you will remember it 10 years later while you're trying to fall asleep.
He likes ''fancy'' food, since he had a pretty precarious childhood, he loves being able to enjoy meals that are seen as exotic or expensive. Gaming is one of his hobby as well, and by gaming I don't mean video games (they don't exist in my world sadly, no fortnite and roblox womp womp) but card games, tabletop games etc.... he also loves taking bets and gambling stuff, I'm sure that won't cause any problems later.
Age:85
Species: Mek
Pronouns: he/him
Thaur's a big soft guy (but don't mess with him he will and can roast you) with a passion for cooking, he's always carrying a bag filled with diverse food with him at all times, I mean no one knows when someone will get hungry.... or if he will find a starving traveler on his way.
A lot of organic beings wonder why would a robot who can't eat, nor taste be so invested in cooking, and how he can even be good at it since he can't tell if what he is cooking is good or nah... To Thaur, cooking is a form of art, he can memorize recipes and based on them he can create original ones, of course it takes a few tries at first, he also need to find a taster since he can't shove food in his small little yellow optic. He also hopes that someday he'll be able to fulfill his dream of opening his own restaurant, but it's kind of hard when you live in a world where no one takes your skills seriously since you can't even taste what you make... A lot of organics believe that Thaur only learn recipes by heart and is unable to create new ones from scratch, if only they knew how talented he can be...
People are a bit scared of Thaur because he sounds like those sci-fi AI villains with a deep unsettling voice, he wish he could have a friendlier voice but tinkering with his voice modulator could cause some serious damage to other parts of his body since all of his internal circuitry is pretty much all connected together....
Thaur's body wasn't meant to express emotions, and as such, it is very hard for many to read his feelings... He doesn't have eyelids to emote anger or sadness for exemple, only a bright yellow optic... But just because he can't show emotions doesn't mean he doesn't feel any, he's a very emotive guy, even if he has a tendency to hide them due to his stoic nature
During the story, Thaur will develop romantic feelings for a very close friend of his

Lumexia is a middle aged gal mechanic who specializes in the repairs of electronics devices and other various machinery. She spent most of her early adulthood repairing robots who couldn't find anyone to fix them. Because of her vast knowledge and competency when it comes to operations on robotic organs, she became somewhat of a mek "medic"
She's the person you need if you ever need a repairman, she can fix anything!; broken machinery, broken electrical components, broken devices, broken 7,4 ft tall sapient cook robot man (Wow that last one is Oddly Specific, I wonder if this have any kind of connection with another character of mine hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
She can be a little grumpy and may be hard to approach at first but once she gets warmed to someone, she'll become much friendlier.
Lumexia loves cutes things (figurines, plushies, etc) but she isn't really open about that since she is afraid people will mock her for being into "childish" things.
She also happens to be one of my most mentally stable characters of mine, hading had a fairly normal childhood with caring parents
Her early adulthood however....................
Age: 23
Species: Ketherean (aetheris)
Pronouns: she/her
Mnelmy is a naturopath doctor in training and use her knowledge in plants and other natural ressources to make medicines and treatments. She is still quite young in this field and has much yet to learn.
Her favorite hobby consist of reaching whatever's the highest top near her and just sit on it and watch the horizon and analyze the landscapes for potential threat (i say sarcastically, but she does actually do that).
Another thing about Mnelmy is that she doesn't really want to be a medic....She comes from a wealthy family of doctors where its a profession that is highly regarded and her parents pressured (more like forced her...)into going into something related in that domain or else they wouldn't pay her studies...
While she doesn't hate naturopathic and medical classes, it's definitely not something she sees herself doing as a job for 50+ years...Mnelmy is afraid she will become burn out very soon because of this imposed career...
She also happens to be apart of the Woman Enjoyers Club™, but she has 0 knowledge in how to flirt nor is able to recognize if a girl is interested in her romantially (she gets no bitches) (for now...)
Age: 58
Species: Ketherean (terranial)
Pronouns: he/him
Reinhart's an old man in his late 50s who used to be a detective but retired not long ago. Despite being in retirement, his workaholic nature is still present, seems like his thirst to decipher mysteries and old cold cases won't die anytime soon...
Most of those who are friends of Reinhart knows what he actually looks like, but stangers often wonders why he hides his face under his hat and his neck warmer... Poor Reinhart has a lot of low self-esteem issue going on (he's also incredibly shy but he'll never admit that), hiding his face makes it easier for him to "play" his role of detective. He also believes that hiding his identity makes him look more mysterious and threatening to potential offenders and criminals alike (which is true for some cases, but obviously not all the time, some can see right through his façade...).
However that is not the main reason why Reinhart spends 80% of his time hiding his face; when he puts on his detective outfit and his visage cannot be seen, he seemingly becomes his ''detective persona'' and seems to be much more focused on the task at hand...
He surprisingly doesn't adhere to the good old "coffee loving detective", it only makes his heart beat faster which makes focusing on his work harder, he's more of a tea fan.
