Day 7 Lore
:vanora_smile:

Vanora eyes remained locked on the night sky, as her feet were tickled by the blades of grass that looked over Breaker Beach and all its festivities. The stars were wonderfully shimmering tonight, hardly a cloud to obscure their brilliance. Her gaze roamed...searching for something... until they finally latched onto Viraeli. One of the brightest stars in the sky, found between the constellations of the Eternal Wolf and the Mourning Siren. It was her favourite star considering it was in between the two zodiac signs she had been born on the cusp of. The Wolf: loyal, determined, and oh so stubborn. Then the Siren: passionate, curious, and quite the spectator. Both their personality traits clashing within her, like Viraeli's light glowing between them now.

The earth shifted softly beside Vanora, alerting her to a new presence that she didn’t bother turning her head to see. “Beautiful, are they not?” a voice murmured melodiously, soft as to not break the silent beauty of the night. She nodded in agreement, finally turning to her side to pat the ground and prompt Vontell to sit beside her.

"It's so magical. It seems kinda simple to just lay here with our thoughts but we're really sort of embracing something beyond our planet by looking at the stars, you know?" She took in the crisp air with a deep breath. Vontell stroked his chin while also panning the sky for constellations. "You are the sort of person to find the brilliance in anything. I’ve always liked that about you, but I cannot say that I am as equally enamored with things as much as you are. I can however, appreciate the grandiose of space and the potential poetry it inspires...Though I can’t seem to find my own constellation up there. Hmm." He peered his eyes more sternly, determined to find it for himself.

Vanora giggled and pointed upward. "Look, there's yours! Right there!" she pointed at Vontell's zodiac sign, the Forgotten Dryad. But their visual perspectives differed, so he had to shift himself a bit closer to see the view from hers. "Ah, wait. Yes okay, NOW I see it." His voice now taking on a wistful tone. “And maybe beyond our galaxy, another realm on another planet is seeking out their own constellation.” He tilted his head, feeling like such a discussion could lead to inspiring a new plot for his book- then dismissed it as too cliché.

“Knowing that someone who is a complete stranger to us, probably also sat on this same hill, and looked at these same stars. That's interesting to think about too.” Vanora stood and stretched, sore from laying down-- when a strong gust swept through and tossed her hair directly into her mouth. This caused her to flail her arms over face, and spit out the long locks. Vontell busted out in laughter.

“And perhaps they too, were fed their own hair from mother nature’s gust.” He said while taking his glasses off to cleanse. Vanora playfully stuck her tongue out. “Sorry, hair gel doesn’t work for me like it does for you! Maybe in a different dimension it does.” Vontell nodded. “Touché. Though even I will be needing to pay a visit to your beloved soon. Need to get my overgrown ends trimmed up and well... Vivienne does it best.” Extending a hand, Vanora helped Vontell up to his feet as he patted off grass and dirt from his pants.

“Speaking of which, she shooed me away a little while ago. She was insisting she had to do something alone- But it's been long enough, I should check up on her.” Vanora and Vontell gave a hug and parted ways from the calm of the hill and back to the energy of the festival.

New Characters
To be revealed as the chapters go on...
We have two new NPCs joining the Voltra cast, as well as a barrage of other characters, giving more context to the Metal Realm!

Mayor Volkan Father to Vanora, he is one of five founders of Voltra - serving now as its dutiful mayor.
He has a robust and positive personality but always has a vibe to him that leaves people skeptical of his real intentions.
Truly he is passionate about doing the right thing and helping others.
Originally from the Realm of Sound, was a farmer that fled due to the western most land getting toxic soil that killed his crops and left the father of two desperate to find new land to plant his roots into.

Vaughn Mard'Gear: A slick and sly traveling merchant from the Realm of Metal who is missing an arm.
He loves his cigars and whiskey, and while kind of a bad influence to be around, often speaks valid words of wisdom.
Charming, cunning and manipulative when needed - otherwise a caring individual who prefers to think before he acts and has a very logical, though sometimes cynical outlook.
Valentina is his adoptive daughter he found as a stow-away on his airship.
He wasn't ready for fatherhood but she was a tough kid to bargain with. Ended up being a welcome challenge.

Ruby Diorite: Valentina's biological mother.
Cold-hearted narcissist who is the head of one of the four great families of Metal.
Her big corporation focusing on fashion, marketing, and a league of super models and won't settle for less than perfectly pretty.
She held Valentina to high and unreasonable expectations that, when not met, disciplined harshly.
She believes she was blessed with her place in life and justifies her lack of empathy for the lower class that they aren't working hard enough.
Somewhere deep down she loves her daughter, but has been too hurt in the past to conceptualize healthy family dynamics.

Sapphire Zircon: One of the great 4, Sapphire is the only one who through a stroke of lucky circumstances made her way from Poverty to riches - and clings to it desperately and anxiously.
She joined what was the Big 3 at the time and her status justified her own sect that renamed them the Great 4.
She is a genius who engineered prosthetics that became a demand in the metal realm due to factory accidents - she also is the CEO of multiple medical insurance agencies.

Quartz Goldman: One of the Great 4 and the richest of them all, Quartz is a serious man who keeps his words succinct, pristine, and sharp.
A tactician at heart and unphased by war, Quartz got his place as the lead manufacturer of Weapons for all realms in the world.
His designs can harness both magical or electrical energy and he is committed to a no-bias clause.
You get what you pay for, he supports no side, and remains a business man simply selling to whichever customer comes his way.

Maverick Agate: One of the Great 4, he is a joyful guy that is easy to make friends with - mostly because that's the most
lucrative approach. He owns a majority of the most complex cave systems known to the Realm, and harvests a variety of ores for
wholesale all around the world. No one really hates him, he frequents the steam districts and works side by side with his miners frequently.
At his worst, he hates being wrong and has a bit of a hissy fit until he calms down and apologizes for his outbursts.

Amethyst: Black Mamba, Guardian of Metal - Amethyst is gem obsessed and takes a lot of pride in her artform (accessory making).
Completely enticed by shiny things, she kisses up to the Great 4 to enjoy the shared luxuries, considers Ruby one of her best friends as they have a lot of similar interests.
She has a soft spot for Valentina but is completely ignorant to controversies around her, preferring to think everything is fine.

Cinnabar: Cockatiel, Guardian of Metal - Cinnabar has a few loose screws and a lack of self-awareness.
Ultimately insecure and compensates with being a bit of a jerk.
Most don't have patience to be around him for too long and his social etiquette is poor, if only someone could tolerate him and show him true friendship, he might thrive better.

Rhodium: Rhino, Guardian of Metal - Rhodium is a grounded individual who aligns himself strongly with nature. He has low tolerance for the bureaucratic nonsense of the Cyber Elite and spends most of his time in the Steam districts helping adventurers and factory workers alike. He is leading an investigation on a big issue in the Metal Realm that is Child Labor, and hoping one day equality can be brought to all.
