Red's OCs

Characters in the Ferrous universe

Red Ferrous

Red Ferrous was born into a noble family along with her older sister, Stirling. When she was Three, Red was thrown out of a carriage by her sister, miraculously surviving a long fall into the deep forest. Red was saved and raised by an old mother bear who had lost her own cubs, and was brought up in the wild. At the age of 10, after her adopted mother began slowing with age, Red went beyond her usual territory to find food for her, stumbling on a human village. Red attacked their livestock for some days before getting caught. The people took her in and taught her how to be a human, especially the old blacksmith. Red learned some smithing skills, and would visit the people to learn more from them when she wasn't feeding her mother. Something happened though, and Red became anxious to leave on a grand adventure, wanting to get as far away as possible. That's when she met Cass and Gildman, who both wanted to flee to the far north. Red happily volunteered to help them, and she began her adventure.

magical Talent: Ignition

Opal Lumini

Opal Lumini is a natural beauty as well as being blessed with profound magical talent. When she was younger, she loved fashion and girly things but also getting into fights. Her father, a nobleman who had lost most of his wealth over the years, saw the utility Opal could have for the family, and he set her to work. Half the time, she was schmoozing with the elite to draw in more money for the family and to tease the prospect of a potential marriage which would draw in rich suiters. The other half, her violent capabilities were used to rake in even more coin through bounty hunting. Opal grew bitter and jaded as her passions were turned into an endless hussle. During one outing, she was sent to collect the bounty on a couple of rogue members of the Inquisition. That's when she met Red. After a brutal battle, Opal agreed to run awy with the group, wanting a new life for herself.

magical Talent: Pink Lightning

Gildman, formerly of the Inquisition

Gildman was brought up in a monestary under the watchful eye of the Inquisition, an organization responsible for bringing medical care across the continent and preventing the use of dark magic. Gildman grew giant in size at a young age, and he wore a golden mask to hide his deformed facial features. He was loyal to the cause, believing the Inquisition to have the best interests of humanity at heart. One day however, Gildman was sent to eliminate a necromancer who had slaughtered dozens of young women for his experiments. What Gildman was met with was an undead woman. Unlike other undead, her mind was still intact. Gildman couldn't bring himself to kill her, and ran away with her. Gildman devoted himself to protecting the undead woman even as the organization that raised him turned on him.

Magical Talent: Brute Healing

Cassidy "Cass"

Cass does not remember her old life. She came to life one day surrounded by bodies. Her creator called her his wife, and that she had fallen sick some time ago. Through dark magic, he had brought her back. Only, she did not remember him. Instead, her memory was a blurred mess of dozens of women sacrificed to bring her back to life. Cass quickly escaped her heartbroken creator just before the Inquisition came to put him to death. She was found by Gildman shortly after. She was scared and alone, quickly joining him in fleeing. She and Gildman are now trying to travel to the far north, outside the Inquisition's juristiction.

Magical Talent: Life After Death

Stirling Ferrous

Stirling is Red's older sister. After thinking she killed Red years ago, she was the soul heir to their family's wealth and influence within the Merchant Guild. Their parents died in an accident when Stirling was only fifteen, leaving her wealthy and powerful. She is feared and respected in her territory, though she has grown paranoid as she has grown older, believing someone else will stab her in the back the same way she had done to so many others. As a result, she has trained her swordplay and magic to be unmatched, and she is a terror when it comes to deals and contracts.

Magical Talent: Ice Queen

Silva of the Inquisition

Silva is a lead enforcer within the Inquisition. While all priests are trained in healing magic, which requires a sense of compassion, Silva does not extend that compassion to "enemies of humanity". He was asigned as Gildman's partner on the fateful mission where Gildman abandoned the cause, and so it falls on Silva to bring him to justice and purge the undead. Silva is gleeful in his purpose, sadistic in dispatching his target, and relentless in following Gildman to punish his betrayal.

Magical Talent: Divine Armament

Onyx the Fire Witch

Onyx is a mysterious woman living in an isolated cabin deep in a dangerous Channel. Red and her party stumble into her home seeking safety from the contents of her forest. While Onyx's personal origins are a mystery, Gildman knows that all witches are incredibly dangerous magic users. The Inquisition has an arrangement with all designated witches to avoid tresspassing in their territory, and in exchange all witches must refuse to harbor anyone wanted by the Inquisition. Onyx is an invaluable source of knowledge when it comes to magic, starting Red's journey into understanding more about the world before kicking the group out of her forest.

Magical Talent: Inferno

Orchid

Orchid is an incredibly dangerous form of life living deep within her own dark Channel. She preys on humans who are forced to wander into her territory. She was once a human, but the magic of the forest changed her, turning her into a frighteningly intelligent predator. Orchid has dominion over all arthropod life in her territory through the use of pheromones, and she can mutate her own body with each molt to take whatever form she pleases. Her Channel is designated as an absolute no-enter zone by the Merchant Guild.

Magical Talent: Hive Mind

Fura

Fura is a goblin chieftan living near the mountains in the center of the continent. She is the grandmother of 100 goblins. Fura is the elder of her territory, respected by all humans near her tribe's borders. She is a master of blood magic, and one of the few leaders who can afford to be entirely independant of the Merchant Guild, which is ironically led by one of her grandsons.

Magical Talent: Blood Magic

Aquari

Aquari is a mercenary based in the clockwork city. She ventures far to the south to do bodyguard work for anyone wanting to navigate the dangerous Channels, though she isn't above banditry to make ends meet or to punish anyone she doesn't like. Aquari is the favorite agent of her company, and she flaunts this fact whenever her colleagues question her judgement.

Magical Talent: None

Amber and Jade

Amber and Jade are conjoined twins working as guards for the swamp city to the east of Red's home. Amber is anxious and nerdy while her sister Jade is punkish and protective of Amber. While the two are often bumbling and rarely work well with the other guards, they are immensely magically talented, commanding water in an area covered in it. Amber is friendly after breaking down her barriers, while Jade tends to remain suspicious or hostile.
