Jaltor Welmeva is a 6,222 Under-realm Naga from Crelima City. He’s joined the Endeavor‘s civilian work-force as a chef for Barmeks’ Bar and Grill. At work is the only time he has a shirt on. The rest of the time, he like being topless. His mother is thrilled to hear that he’s serving on a Realmfleet ship and has settled down with Denstra, Twirja, Jweltu, and Twansa.
Commander Denstra Welmeva hails from the Under-realm’s Crelima City. At age 7,220, she’s Oak’s replacement as Arsha’s First Officer. She’s a bit bouncy, but that’s because she’s hiding a past of piracy in an attempt to stick it to her high-society Cecaelia mother and Neko Father. She mutinied against the pirates and served a prison sentence before returning home and mending fences with her parents. She entered Realmfleet and served with distinction, marrying three men and a woman in the process, Jaltor, Twirja, Jweltu, and Twansa.
Commander Oak Mosstrunk, First Officer of Arsha’s ship, the Endeavor, has spent the majority of his 3,000 years of life in service to Realmfleet. He’s an easygoing Dryad (Males of the Plant-folk) from the Over-realm’s Rooka Forest. His parents have the honor of being distinguished Realmfleet Officers and his wife, Rose Thornvine, commands her own ship, so she will pull rank if needed. He intends to help the crew not be hasty, but, when push comes to shove, he WILL strike back and you will feel a Dryad’s rage if his friends, family, or home are harmed.
Foresna Falshenda is a humble human farmer from the Rokanth village in the Mid-realm, just on the northern edge of Largandra. He’s supported his father and sister for a while at age 356. However, his status will change when his wedding to Arsha, Malnar, Falnii, Lardeth, and Gorfanth arrives. His blood red hair is a genetic predisposition.
Gorfanth Steelhorn is a blacksmith from the Galdredan Lava Kingdom in the Under-realm. At age 400, he’s earned enough to help his parents, brother, and sister live comfortably. His fearsome appearance hides a heart of gold though. Minotaurs are known for being passionate…with a very rough start as lustful creatures. Does that mean they still are? Arsha, Malnar, Falnii, Lardeth, and Foresna wouldn’t be marrying him if that were true. Nowadays, Minotaurs are known as the best givers of lovers’ advice. If a Minotaur can see that your relationship with someone is sour, you’d better listen to their advice. One of the Minotaurs’ best authors wrote a book on having a successful relationship from simple friendships to full on married life. That book even covers monogamous and polyamorous relations and it’s been spread across the Realms as a sort of guidebook to relationships. Gorfanth will always have a quote from that book on hand.
Prince Lardeth Felompha is the Over-realm’s Crown Prince. Hailing from Wysper City, he’s a Zephyr/human hybrid. His father was a human and he has 8 mothers and 39 sisters that came before him. His human father had died of an illness a long time ago, so his mothers remarried, this time to an Elf man. Strained relationship between son and step-father? Not at all. He’s doted on his family ever since he married. Because of his sisters, he’s had his clouds molded into dresses. Oddly enough, that’s not unusual among male Zephyrs. Women dominate the Zephyr race in sheer numbers, so men simply dress as women to fit in. Right now, he’s going through his tour of duty as Captain of the CRS-3395, High Sky. He’s betrothed to Arsha, Malnar, Falnii, Gorfanth, and Foresna as part of a plan to unite all three Realms.
Falnii Loftanaf is a Zephyr from Wysper City in the Over-realm. As a Zephyr, the most powerful of Cloud Spirits, she can control lightning and its subsequent thunder as well as cause rain to fall. However, at 315 years of age, she’s focused more on being a diplomat, which the symbol on her neck indicates. She’s a member of a species that is well renowned for producing the best diplomats. Her dress, hair, and accessories are clouds that she perpetually generates and manipulates, allowing her to glide to wherever she wants to go. She is the third eldest of 19 daughters and makes every opportunity to visit her 5 mothers and 1 father three times a year. She’s actually from common stock. She’s a quiet, soft-spoken girl, preferring to spend her days at ease. She DOES possess something that her spouses, Malnar, Arsha, Gorfanth, Lardeth, and Foresna, envy. She can enter dreams and, if it is a nightmare, alter it to be a happy one for that particular person. She’s marrying the other five as part of a plan to unite the Realms.
Crown Princess Malnar Emboramii is one of the Under-king’s six identical daughters. With the strongest fire powers in her possession, she has been chosen to rule after her parents step down. At 305, she’s already done her tour of duty within Realmfleet, but still keeps her ship, the Meteor and will respond to the call of duty when needed. She has a very talented masseuse and dancer, Pyrina, and Pyrina’s mer-MAID wife, Ralta, working for her in her private castle outside the Belsnath Citadel. She’s engaged to Arsha, Falnii, Gorfanth, Foresna, and Lardeth as part of a scheme, planned by all six, to unite the Realms.
Crown Princess Arsha Royana of the Mid-realm Capital, Largandra here is half kitsune on her mother’s side, and because of her having nine tails like her mother, she’s gone through a very strict amount of magic training. She is an only child. She is of age, at 300, so she will be serving in Realmfleet, the main Navy of this world that can go through the air and in the water. As such, she’s going on a five year tour of duty as Captain of a Combined Realm Ship, the CRS-2784, Endeavor. One of her fiancés, Lardeth, is the Captain of another ship doing his tour of duty. Her remaining four, Malnar, Falnii, Gorfanth, and Foresna, had already done their tours. Why is she engaged to five? She and her fiancés are of different Realms, two from each Realm. This is a scheme they came up with to unite the Realms.
