Meet a cast of colorful characters!
Unda:
A determined artisan that desperately wants to improve her self confidence.
Although she may look like a complete pushover, once she has her mind set on something Unda will never let go. Have a conflicting view about her favorite novel? She'll give you 50 reasons why you're wrong and she's objectively right. The only thing in her way is her encumbering anxiety when socializing with strangers. While she has the passion and drive to overcome it she can't alone. Often times she uses her friends and family to fall back on before she can "settle into" conversations. Even then, conversations can be tough, finding herself stumbling over every sentence and not maintaining eye contact. Unda also hates clingy fabric as it irritates her skin.
In her downtime she either reads one of the many books in her dad's library, reluctantly plays with her little sister, or hangs out with her childhood friend Tang. Playtime with Lacuna consists of reenacting their favorite stories via LARPing, although Unda insists that she hates it she sometimes gets more into character than her sister. As for Tang, they often hang out at Tang's place and play Dungeons & Defectors or watch sci-fi podcasts.
As far as her work life, Unda is tasked with painting and finishing her father's creations to be sold around Reef Village. She has obtained her abilities by studying techniques featured in artisan zines and some basic hands-on training with her father. She takes her work very seriously and hates being disturbed while in the middle of it, thus she locks herself in her room until she's done.
Tang:
A spunky techy with a thirst for progress.
A prodigy in mechanics, Tang will do anything to improve his setup and build the next step to an optimal ecofriendly energy source. With an insatiable curiosity, Tang thirsts for adventure to scavenge new materials to use in his projects. He usually turns to the internet in order to stay up-to-date with all of the latest tech across Gaia. If he isn't involved in a deep dive on new computer parts you can find him tending to his flora garden, taking notes on behavior and changes of their structures.As far as identity goes, Tang only feels comfortable talking about his gender around Unda and his father. Even then he doesn't talk about it often and chooses to not tell people about it unless he absolutely has to. This isn't to say he isn't proud, he just finds explaining it to be exhausting.
Vice:
A tired guard that hates the actions he's made as a result of his job.

Every victory he has ever gotten was given to him out of fear. He craves challenge to truly test his limits.
