Skipper is fun loving and mischievous! Find them around Skire anywhere!

Myir believed it important Crooks and the others on Skire understand their abilities. All creatures of Creators could evolve and become better, and Crooks were an obvious indicator that even CCCats could evolve and become something new. Yet their gods wanted them to be brought into their own unique prison? Why? Why should they have to suffer and be locked away for their progress? For their sense of individuality going even beyond CCCats? Myir could show the world that Crooks could bring about the change CCCats failed to and properly aid Skire in healing itself and protecting it from the potential dangers of human's absorbing-magic ability. Myir had a plan to revive magic even in the city of Uto, scatter humans from their dependency on the city, and make magical creatures feel safe in the city once again and show the others on Skire Crooks were no less powerful than their origin selves.

Halik believed that Crooks were punished by their kin close to them in roots, but that didn't mean they couldn't learn to give themselves new purpose. Halik was empathetic and understood why their existence could be scary. While many Crooks could wind up feeling helpless or hopeless of their time in the Alter World and learned to only rely on themselves, Halik believed in the ability to receive help from others and give help back. They believed with the aid of others who sought similar ideas that it could guide them on the right path to becoming another species among Skire and even potentially bring back old magic that existed even before wormlings came about. They wanted to show all on Skire that Wormlings were not the violent creatures people they thought they were, and could find those willing to stand up for peace on Skire, by learning and adapting to the new way of life and teaching many about lost and forgotten magic.

Your marvelous dancing ends up putting you up at the lip of a large stage with a DJ booth on top. A Crook with decorative glowing pants mans the DJ booth and is the source of this amazing music! They look down from atop their decorated booth and wink at you before tossing you another glow stick to add to your collection and dropping more amazing beats! How could this party possibly get any better?

"My dear friends, it is an honor to be here with you this evening of great celebration. I am Drent, a traveler and collector of trinkets and stories. I've brought with me today a variety of items and friends who will help me in telling tonight's stories. I have for you, tales of my travels, stories of exploring the world, discovering ancient ruins, and grand fights with beasts of all kind. Please sit back and relax, as the magic's of our world show you great tales of our adventures! Drent swishes his hands and magic begins to flow around him. He raises one of his swords and a great magical holographic image of a towering beast appears behind him. "Now, let the adventure begun!"

"I don't understand it..." He sighs, turning over his shoulder to glance at the partygoers in the distance, "why they'd want to celebrate, I mean, isn't there so much more we could be doing?" His words are vague, but you can tell that his mind is preoccupied, perhaps lingering on the recent release of the Crooks, or perhaps somewhere else entirely. "Seems like a waste of time," he mumbles. He turns to you and huffs, reaching a hand out in greeting.

You make it up the stairs, a tad sore from the climb. Ahead of you you can clearly see a large crook, sitting peacefully in a chair lined with warm furs, surrounded by dancing magical lights. He smiles as people, CCCats, and Crooks alike all bear him the gifts they have brought. He shakes each individual hand, and you watch excitedly as your turn to give your gift approaches. As you get closer, his appearance grows clearer. His tendrils wrap around his neck, mimicking a full and friendly beard He wears a large cloak, lined with fur and made from fabric resembling the bright colors of the aurora that lights up the night sky. He is covered in sparkling fluff that glitters like the snow, and his eyes squint as he smiles, full of cheer. As your turns to meet him comes around, you hand him your gift and he takes it with a bright grin.

The Elder is a very old CCCat from the early days after Seers began to disappear.

He was rumored to be the brilliant Nature Magic caster that created the bramble wall, and he was said to be a towering being with lush leaves for a mane with flowers able to root and grow on his silken fur. However, after creating the bramble wall the magic was drained and the Elder hadn't been able to sprout a single leaf since. it's unclear if the tales are true or not and he's certainly not telling. He seems to like being the subject of such legendary tales. Regardless, he looks pretty worn and the explanation that he drained all his magic to protect his home and began to decay as a result might make sense… or perhaps he's just a fan of the wise old man aesthetic.

Still, he's an odd fellow who loves a good joke and even poking fun at his own expense. He's also full of knowledge and experience and more than happy to tell stories but be careful about agreeing to such tales from him as some of them are decades long!

Through the stagnant puddles of bilge water trudges a figure, hidden behind heavy clothing. Only their toothy scowl shines through, chewing absently the lip of their coffee cup. As they turn their key, the door to their office creaks open into the dusty, single room, papers, unused furniture, trinkets scattered about, some of which they push out of the way to make it to their desk. By now their drink is already cold, the drink now nearly as sour as their mood. Business is slow, clients dwindling as time marches on and the detective falls into obscurity.

Her personality is quite abrasive, a core reason as to why she left Meteor Lake quickly once the Nautipods emerged. She was not leaving much behind, and much prefers the darkness of Uto rather than the depths of the lake.

“This piece of my home is in unknown hands, and we very much intend to get it back, or figure out what they’ve done to it,” She growls.
