The four power holders

The last remaining native power holders. Their connection to nature and magic itself is extremely strong, which is one of the theories why they're the only ones who remained with power. The four are responsible for the barrier protecting Ellipsa from the Darkness. Each of them are managers of the Seasonal Guilds that used to serve all native power holders and are now remodeled to help Otherworlders with their mission.

Olwen, the kindness of winter

Olwen was born during a strong blizzard in a cabin that was located in the middle of the Winter Segment. Many think this is why he's adapted to his powers at a young age. He has been the leader of the Winter Guild even before the tragedy happened. He's always been known to be serious and very responsible, yet kind and caring.

He's calm, wise and doesn't get angry very often - but when he does he's icy and glares icicles at people (not literally). He wants people to think about their limits and be prepared as much as they can before venturing out into the danger. That's why he's always ready to answer anyone's questions - no matter what powers they have.

Olwen is usually the one people call a leader whenever they need someone to make decisions.

Jade, the energy of spring

Jade was born in the eye of a hurricane in the Spring Segment, where her parents used to live. It's for this reason that people believe she can fly almost as if she wasn't using her powers and create things with ease. Her powers have always been strong and looked like they were a second nature to her.

Due to her powers coming to her naturally, it's hard to keep a track of Jade as she bounces to different places. She's naturally hyperactive and always talking anyone's ears off. Of course when the situation calls for it she's composed and calm, but otherwise she's not above adding her own comments to any situation. Usually she speaks in puns and makes jokes. She does, however, get upset anytime someone tells her to shut up and may sulk for days.

Dawn, the shapeshifter of summer

Dawn was born during the hottest day in years, in the district of Solarpeak. Due to the scorching hot circumstances, people believe this is the reason she's one of the final power holders and a natural at any powers involving heat. She tends to change her look a lot as she doesn't want to get bored of the same look (usually she mostly changes her eye or hair color).

As the constant need to change her appearance might suggest, Dawn gets bored easily. That's why she's always trying to find fun ways to make a day more interesting and is usually in charge of planning any bigger parties Ellipsa may have. When she gets angry she can stay angry for a long time, but she never gets violent with anyone. Mostly she isolates herself from the things that made her angry and does anything else. Her main motto is that anger should always be channeled into doing something good, rather than evil.

Sawyer, the brat of autumn

Sawyer was born in the middle of an autumn storm that affected even his home district; Amberfall. Many suspect that's why he became known as a genius in the seasonal power arts. Unfortunately he always used his powers for pranks, rather than anything useful. He refused to take any responsibility until it was discovered that he really was one of the last ones with powers. Even then he isn't very co-operative and often stays hidden in his office at the Autumn Guild.

He's moody and tends to love to do things if there's a chance to cause chaos. He's not necessary a bad guy, but a bit a problematic and definitely someone who doesn't offer help easily. He's also keen on letting people take risks when exploring the the Segments because he believes taking risks is part of life... but also because he likes to see people fail.

Others

Michael, The Mayor of Nightwake

Michael is in charge of the Nightwake Center District and is also the head of all apartments there. He's only been a Mayor for a year, but he's already made good changes for Nightwake's residents. Mostly he's made sure everyone has easy access to transportation and getting suitable housing for themselves.

As a person he's calm and level headed. He only talks whenever it's necessary. Usually when someone is needed to calm a situation, Michael is called in to make the announcement. No one really knows what he's like outside work because he likes to keep to himself.

Age: 50 ✦ Birthplace: Blossomcrown ✦ PB: Keanu Reeves

Helene, Head of the Research Center

Outstanding leader of the Research Center. Helene is highly educated in the ways of technology and all sorts of chemistry. While her understanding of magic is lacking she has plenty of staff to help her out in combining magic and technology. Her hobby outside important jobs is to study potions and find ways to replicate their effects in medicine.

Helene may seem strict, but under her rough exterior she's more like a mother hen who worries about her subordinates and Otherworlders alike. All the decisions she makes are for the good of everyone. She also likes to have as much fun as she can.

Age: 40 ✦ Birthplace: Stormreach ✦ PB: Jennifer Love Hewitt

Harrison, the Head of the Law Encforcement

A long time ago Harrison proved to Ellipsa that he doesn't need to be a power holder to be in charge of the law. His greatest achievement was arresting a good sized group of power holders who planned to go against the law and started absorbing other holders' powers. Instead of any magic available, he relies on technology and his own wits.

Harrison is a strict person and doesn't like people who bend or break the rules. He always looks serious and the smiles he offers are for those who he truly thinks have done a good job. He's not a bad person and has a soft spot for small children as he sees them as the future.

Age: 61 ✦ Born: Nightwake Center ✦ PB: Pierce Brosnan

Starlight, The Social Media Star

A mysterious celebrity who has never revealed her true name to the public. Starlight can be seen on many ads, commercials and her Ellipsagram account is the hottest account to follow. She makes important announcements, but also posts a lot of memes and filters for others to use. She shines like a star, hence her stage name.

No one knows a lot about her outside social media. She never hosts public meetings and mostly sticks to Ellipsagram lives and stories. Her public persona is cheerful and always seems like she's having fun. All of her smiles are always genuine and whenever she's feeling down she doesn't take photos or videos of herself to keep it that way.

Age: Unknown ✦ Birthplace: Unknown ✦ PB: Molly Quinn

Riki, the Idol of rewards

A merchant by day, an idol by night. Riki is the one who manages the store where Otherworlders can get useful items to help with their journeys. He rarely appears there as more than a hologram as he's busy writing songs, being a model and performing in all sorts of places.

Riki is always cheerful and willing to help people when he has a chance. He has an active imagination so he's usually the one coming up with items - or at least giving ideas to people in charge of making them. No one's ever seen him sad or angry in public, but sometimes his smile isn't so genuine... or so some say.

Age: 30 ✦ Born: Nightwake Center ✦ PB: Yoshihide Sasaki

Lara, The Fairy Queen

The leader of all fairies who holds one of the keys in fighting against the Darkness. She's young for a fairy, but she takes her responsibilities seriously and with grace. Currently she's in need of a lot of time to recover from being kidnapped by the "Wizard".

Lara gives off a gentle, motherly aura, but she does have a playful side to her like most of the fairies do. As the Queen she's the same size as humans, but can transform into a smaller form when necessary. She alway has a set of fairy wings on her back.

Age: 200 ✦ Born: Fairy Kingdom ✦ PB: Monica Bellucci

Comments

[urtitan]

They're both happy to support this plan! Shadow will go with Dawn - he's a seasoned combatant, which is definitely never a bad thing in the Great Ocean Lake, or on the hunt, or anywhere, really.

Frieda already has a Mermaid Necklace and is confident that she and Jade will manage on their own - at least as far as the trip is concerned; the negotiations are still up in the air. But for what it's worth, Jade is a smooth talker with a hand for diplomacy (back home, he helps his business owner friend Azul broker and sweeten all sorts of deals), and Frieda, while having some quiet misgivings about being the messenger asking for hidden historical truths to be unveiled, will argue against the horrors of war with sincerity and fervour.

(Any risks of Frieda going off the rails over things hitting too close to home will fortunately be mitigated by Jade also being good at damage control!)

[shatteredprison]

Shadow agreed with this plan. He does need a sea shell for proceeding to speak with the sirens. He is happy to hunt and search for the meat and herbs. He would want to get a good amount to show their good will is genuine.

His approach would help focus on that. The resources could be shared if they can negotiate peace. He would also ask if any of the older sirens know what happened in the past to cause the schism between the sirens and mermaids. Knowing that, making amends, would be a good first step toward continued peace.

[seasonsmods]

Dawn is glad both of them are willing to go with the plan and will provide shadow with a seashell necklace that will let him breathe and talk normally underwater due to a sturdy bubble protecting him (he can keep the necklace afterwards).

The ingredients they gather are Silence Weed Herbs, that are difficult to find from the coral reefs and help with voice problems, and nutritious Fat Crab meat (that live too close to the Mermaid territory for them to hunt it).

As for their underwater adventures;

Shadow is able to gain an audience with the very old Siren King.

The Siren King knows all about the history that happened, as he's the grandson of the leader whose son was killed (making the son that died his father). He was still small back then so he doesn't remember everything. In his old age, he's started to think about the incident and delving deep into his memories, which has let him remember that there was something very strange about the murdering mermaid. The way he appeared and suddenly was nowhere to be seen, leaving chaos and destruction behind.

His grandparents and mother immediately waged war, as they were driven with grief, giving the mermaids no chance to explain anything. But at the same time, the mermaids seemed more than willing to answer violence with violence at the time.

As such, he is more than willing to open peace negotiations with the mermaids, as long as the mermaids are open for it and do not wish for the violence to continue.

[shatteredprison]

Shadow will be grateful that the Siren King is willing to share the events of his father's death. The description of the memory of the mermaid assassin piques Shadow's interest. He won't press now but will want to mention to Dawn after that perhaps this schism was created intentionally. Something to watch and be mindful of.

With that, he'd want to meet again with Freida and see how their discussion with the mermaids went.

[seasonsmods]

Onto the peace negotiations.

[seasonsmods]

Frieda and Jade have the chance to meet with the Mermaid Queen, should the negotiations go well (let me know if you think they'll be able to do it and I will give you more information too).

[urtitan]

It should be alright! Jade is so confident, he probably has a 95% success rate at convincing people to at least give something a chance... and while I give Frieda a 25% chance of getting triggered into a demented rant over the historical parallels with her own world, Jade would most likely be able to turn that into an advantage ("Please excuse her, it's the PTSD from her own war experiences... you wouldn't want this to happen to your children!"), reducing the overall failure risk for both of them to about 5%.

But depending on how open- or closed-minded the merfolk are, their own variables may apply!

[seasonsmods]

The mermaids are mostly peace-loving people, so they are willing to lend an ear, especially if the otherworlders who helped them before are on the case. They also trust Dawn quite a bit, so mentioning her name will also earn favors.

The Mermaid Queen is also rather old, but born after the events of what happened the war. However, she doesn't immediately deny there would be a possibility of something like that happening from the mermaid side; her ancestors were quite territorial and wanted to bounties of the seas for themselves. However, she doesn't want to think that there was really a mermaid capable of such cruelty... but she would hear the siren's side of the things, if they remember more.

However, she needs them to gather intelligence from her people on if they would be willing to give this peace a chance and if there is conflicting voices pray bring them to her to be heard.

There are some conflicting opinions, but they are mostly people who have been attacked by sirens in the past or lost something to them - but after the Mermaid Queen tells them this could be prevented and that the same things wouldn't happen to their offspring, they also agree to peace negotiations.
