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.

Age: 27 ✦ Born: Spring Segment ✦ PB: Katherine Barrell

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.

Age: 35 ✦ Born: Solarpeak ✦ PB: Katy Perry

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.

Age: 22 ✦ Born: Amberfall ✦ PB: Brendan Fehr

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

Handwaved NPC Meetings

[seasonsmods]

Here's where you have your chance to interact with the NPCs. This meeting will be discussed in the threads below and handwaved as an interaction. We will answer any questions and give you any reactions they might have to your character.

Please limit the handwaved meetings to more "important" questions and use your imagination for general discussions with the characters, using the blurbs of the characters above and below.

Your character doesn't need to be associated with the season when meeting a NPC Seasonal Power Holder.


Threading with the NPCs may become available in the future, but for now this is easier on the mods to handle.

Olwen

[seasonsmods]

Usual location: Winter Guild in Frostreign

Olwen is talkative and will stick around to talk with anyone who wants to. He will answer any simple questions easily and even make jokes.

Jade

[seasonsmods]

Usual location: Spring Guild in Blossomcrown

Jade will openly talk with anyone. She answers any simple questions eagerly and has the habit of getting easily off-topic and making puns about anything she can think of. She also laughs at even bad jokes.

Dawn

[seasonsmods]

Usual location: Summer Guild in Solarpeak

Dawn is eager to answer any simple questions, but usually doesn't stick around for too long to talk as she gets bored easily and needs to be doing something. She will definitely hear suggestions for parties though and encourage characters to make them happen.

Sawyer

[seasonsmods]

Usual location: Autumn Guild in Amberfall

Sawyer is reluctant to answer even simple questions and will only give a short, quick reply to quickly get away. He doesn't stand small-talk so he will leave if someone tries to force that on him.

Michael

[seasonsmods]

Usual location: His office in Nightwake District

Michael answers simple questions with ease and with replies that leave little room for wondering. He doesn't talk much else but is polite and remains questioned as long as someone seems to be curious about something.

Helene

[seasonsmods]

Usual location: Her office in the Research Center (Nightwake District)

Helene answers even the simplest questions with way too much information and details on the subject. She does, however, simplify whenever necessary and smiles with a kind smile as she does.

Harrison

[seasonsmods]

Usual location: His office in the Law Enforcement Headquarters (Nightwake District)

Harrison replies to all questions with a serious and strict manner, not adding much humor or extra to anything. He also doesn't laugh at jokes. He doesn't really like being asked unnecessary/unimportant questions, but sometimes replies to them because he can.

Starlight

[seasonsmods]

Usual location: None. Only replies through DMs

Starlight's questions are full of emojis and she sometimes even asks the same questions back if she's curious about something. Generally she doesn't talk about her personal life at all and dodges the questions by asking questions in return.

Riki

[seasonsmods]

Usual locations: Concert Venue in Blossomcrown

Riki definitely likes to talk with various different people and answers questions with ease. He's especially knowledgeable with the entertainment industry and will talk about it more than enough.

He usually isn't at Riki's Rewards personally, even if he owns the place. He can, however, be met and talked with there on rare occasions. They say seeing him in the shop brings good luck.

[mayoninofukucho]

Hijikata barely managed to enjoy this new world for a week before he got restless, and because he can't help being a cop he'll eventually end up in Harrison's office! He'll explain that he'd like to join Nightwake City's law enforcement since he feels that his skills would be best put to use there. Credentials:

1) He's been the Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi in Edo, Japan, planet Earth.
2) He's been with the Moon Knights in Lunatia, planet Prismatica.
3) He's been a Knight of the Round Table in Camelot, Avalon, planet... Earth..?

He'll gladly explain what each organisation is and does, give examples of his achievements, etc, but right away he'll realise that Harrison is very to-the-point and will only tell him what he actually asks about.

[seasonsmods]

Harrison doesn't react to his credentials at all, as he has no idea what all of those things really mean, but he does appreciate he has some experience in the field.

Hijikata is hired, but for the first two months (so until May) he is to be a traffic cop. He will still have the full uniform, but the uniform comes with a bright reflective vest (color up to you) that stays on even in suit mode (information about the uniform under the "Job" header in FAQ).

He also gets a free airship license course, should he want that. It would help with the airship traffic, but it's not needed.

However, if he performs well before the two months are up, he has a chance to become a proper cop. On the flip side if he perform badly it might take even longer.

[mayoninofukucho]

He'll take it! It's not like the Shinsengumi hasn't been made to direct traffic in Edo before (sad, but true). He'll take the airship license course, but in addition he'll ask for a car or at least a horse (or other vehicle or mount) for work on the ground (demanding, yeah, but he got spoiled on Avalon)!

[seasonsmods]

He will be provided with a horse, but it's a piece of work that needs to be tamed first. He can find it in Dayrise, where some of the law enforcement horse stables are (along with Dayrise carriages, if he wants to give them a try).

[mayoninofukucho]

Oh boy... well, he asked for it! He'll try to wrangle it!

[rudementary]

Kaveh and Alhaitham will be approaching the Research Center in search of jobs. They'll both introduce themselves as graduates of the Akademiya, the largest learning institute in their home world of Teyvat.

Alhaitham specifically mentions he's from the Darshan, or discipline, of Haravatat, which focuses on linguistics and rune studies. He has been working as a scribe for the Akademiya.

Kaveh will mention he's from the Darshan of Kshahrewar, which focuses on studying technology, and works as an architect.

If there are any further details the Research Center is interested in knowing, they would be willing to share for an equivalent exchange of information, but they are most interested in seeing if their details are suitable for any jobs here.

[seasonsmods]

Helene is definitely happy to give both of them jobs, especially since they seem to have the needed experience.

There are jobs for people who can help them develop even more technology to help with the city, but also to help explore the segments.

And also jobs to help find ways to translate some very, very old texts into the common language of the world (which everyone somehow understands, both written and spoken). There are books they had managed to rescue from before the Darkness took them, but they only know some of the languages partially. (Some of them look very much like runes!)

Her only question is if they would be interested in such jobs.

[rudementary]

Alhaitham has an interest in the translation job while Kaveh has one in technological developments.

When it comes to exploring the segments though, they both hold an interest there and inquire as to whether they could both also be hired on an as-they-are-needed basis.

In short, the translation and technology as their primary jobs and exploring segments as their secondary (or when they want more money).

[seasonsmods]

That is both allowed and encouraged, because all power holder help is definitely wanted in exploration.

[rudementary]

They'll both accept the offers then, and if there's any current exploration assignments available, they'll take them on.

[seasonsmods]

They will be told that the Questboard with exploration assignments will be launched around mid month of March, as they're still working on some changes to the programs. However, if they find stuff that to them is note-worthy, they will be rewarded accordingly.

[wingbound]

Levi wants to know if they might allow some people to stay in Ellipsa even if "the situation becomes better", as Olwen had stated in his welcoming message. He won't be wordy about it but he'll state that there are those who have nothing to go back to because they're dead back home, and point out that it's shitty poor motivation to provide help for this world if their reward is to be sent off to die (again).

(It's a bluff, really, because they're going to help anyway, a whole world is more important than a few lives etc etc, but why not use a little threat/blackmail to encourage the desired answer?)

Any timing similarities with the arrival of his dear deceased friend are purely coincidental.

[seasonsmods]

Levi, you're adorable ain't ya.

Olwen has talked with others about the ways they could allow people to stay even after things "get better". They have confirmed it's definitely possible and they are definitely going to open it up as a choice when the time comes.

He also states that the welcoming message is to assure anyone who wants to go back that they will be able to. But they will not turn people away who have no reason to leave or just want to stay.

[wingbound]

He is, but don't tell him that.

Oh good, he didn't even need to pull out the knife. Which he definitely would have. Anyway, having confirmation for what he wanted to hear, he'll simply thank him confirm that that's good, give him a nod of acknowledgement and leave.

i'm back with more difficult questions--

[acquirement]

After their deaths Kaveh and Ayato (accompanied by Alhaitham and Thoma) will visit Olwen to ask him a few things about what they saw/experienced. (around June 2nd)

First, if he knows what the creature trapped inside the abandoned mansion is? Ayato will share the video he recorded to help explain it, and if he knows what it is what can they do to get rid of it?

Second, the spirits have managed to seal it inside for now but it's spread to take over the size of the mansion pretty much - is there a way to ensure no one else can get in or out?

After his initial questions regarding the mansion are done, and Kaveh and Alhaitham leave, Ayato will have one more question for him regarding their returns to their worlds once they've helped this world - is it possible to be sent to a parallel universe of theirs and 'push' the other self to a different one? Or at least share the memories between both?
