Felfar Malmaf is a 1,047 year old Zephyr that has taken up residence in the Over-realm’s Drelda Forest. She’s been living as a member of Fae Empress Rellmeer’s Girl Power Harem, a girls-only harem. Not exactly from poor stock, she’s just enamored with Rellmeer a lot. The feeling is returned constantly, so she doesn’t have feelings of unrequited love. Her 17 mothers and 3 fathers take every chance to visit her. The boa around her neck is affectionately called her leash as she likes being led around in that manner.
Rellmeer Almaydia has been alive for 800,000 years and rules as Empress of the Fae Republic from its capital, the Drelda Forest in the Over-realm. Being a Fairy, she has the highest power when it comes to magic. Like many Fae subspecies, she prefers being barefoot to get a connection to nature. Imagine the Fae Republic as an insect colony with Rellmeer as the Queen. She has given birth to many in her lifetime, 139 daughters and 102 sons. Being a race of biological immortals, she lives with her parents, her grandparents, her great-grandparents, and her great-great-grandparents. Like a Termite Queen, she has a King. Her King is Embrek. She also has a harem and is dating five of that harem right now. They are Felfar, Moralma, Alma, Korla, and Granthin. She has seen the end of the Second Age of Unity and the beginning of the Third Age of Unity. Like bees, the Fae are pollinators. Unlike bees, Rellmeer sometimes joins those that gathers pollen. Fae honey is considered very tasty. Like other Fae, how Rellmeer grants a wish is variable. If you’re a friend, she’ll make sure the wish goes EXACTLY as you want it. If you’re an enemy, you will have to word it so ALL loopholes are closed. Good luck with that, Fae are trained to find loopholes. With how long she’s lived and ruled, Rellmeer is a maestro at finding loopholes. Another thing: if you anger her, you WILL feel her full magical wrath! If you manage to impress her, you have a staunch ally in her.
Born in the Over-realm, Halfam Malfee lost her family at a very young age. Reb took her in as a member of her fleet but assigned her only to guard duty because, “No self-respecting pirate would allow for tears over the past”. That hurt Halfam and forced her to only display her talents in private. She only took solace in her fluffy skirts whenever she could, especially when she turns her tail into legs. After Reb was beaten by the crew of the Endeavor, she fled back to the Over-realm, only to return to Indrak, the Supreme Over-Splitter. She was forced into the Splitters before meeting Reb, but an incident with Orbak and his family caused her to quit the Splitters entirely and move to the Calnthor Mermaid Kingdom in the Under-realm. At 2,000, she now lives with her wife, Yalmar, and works as an actress and model, happily leaving her life of crime behind and improving herself.
Originally from the Coliamdii Kingdom in the Over-realm, Elmpam Emboramii married Orbak as his second wife after his previous died. She became Queen and made herself home in the Belsnath citadel. The 3,092 year old Inu once just had two arms but, after becoming an All-Priestess; a Priestess that has a direct line to all 50 Divine Ones, she had eight extra arms added via magic. The Divine Ones taught her how to live with ten arms and now it comes as second-nature. She also loves wedding dresses. Ever since she was a little girl, she would wear them. The one you see her in now is her favorite. Her parents are still around, as are her two sisters and three brothers. However, one brother may have white fur but is still the black sheep of the family, having joined the Over-realm branch of the Splitters. She’s had an excellent relationship as the step-mother of Malnar and her sisters.
The Under-king, Orbak Emboramii himself! Conqueror of Dreams, Bringer of Darkness, Wielder of the Scepter of Terror and the Crown of Burning Minds, and Destroyer of Hope, those are the titles that strike fear into his enemies. To his Realm, he is the Ruler of All That he Sees, Keeper of the Realm’s Freedom, and He who commands kindly, but firmly. To his allies and family, he’s a doting father, a loving husband, a fantastic baker in his spare time, and an excellent party-thrower. The 3,087 year old ruler of the Under-realm lives in the Belsnath Citadel with his second wife, Elmpam, and their six identical daughters, one of them being Malnar. After losing his first wife to sickness and death while his daughters were 2, Orbak found love again in Elmpam, a ten-armed Inu of the Over-realm. They never had children of their own, but Malnar and her sisters don’t care. They love Elmpam very much and happily call her Mom or Mommy. Orbak’s a great guy to be around, just don’t do anything against his family, friends, or his Realm.
Fleet Admiral Rebarisal “Reb” Rojam is the most notorious pirate in all the Realms. Based at the Plunder Island Stronghold, off the southern coast of the Under-realm’s Northern Continent, this 999 year old pirate commands an entire fleet of pirate ships, flying the colors of the Scarlet Stream Pirates. She has become greater than her mother, the retired Captain Amaril Rojam. Her mother is nothing but proud of her only daughter that she now commands a small pirate empire. Reb is happily married to Commodore Melgem, a Sea Elf. She is famous for her obsession with red and the slime she wears. The slime is symbiotic in nature as it never had its own core. Her mother has her own symbiotic slime and passed a bit of it onto Reb when she was 100. Normally, the first 10 years are the perfect time to separate yourself from a symbiotic slime without killing both yourself and the slime, but Reb always wanted to be a host for a symbiotic slime. It now regulates her bodily functions and keeps her alive and she can mentally control it. It never allows her human limbs to atrophy as it sometimes becomes a skintight suit to allow her to walk as we do. However, she likes its usual mound shape as it allows her to control it more effectively. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT underestimate her! She is a very dangerous pirate and will kill if necessary.
Norvorok Nalteg was once a member of the Vorkath Monastic Hospital, but he was excommunicated at age 568 for threatening to reveal the secrets that lay in the catacombs beneath the monastery. Nowadays, he is a nurse at the new Crossgene Hospital, built by Chimeras and much more efficient and quick with medical breakthroughs. His 7 parents, four mothers and three fathers, have never been prouder of his bravery. He still wears his old robes as a reminder of what he once participated in and to keep him on the right path. He’s staying single right now. Who knows? He may find love somewhere.
King Belnki Lorpeth is the 3,000 year old ruler of all Chimeras. Living in Vorkath, an Over-realm city well-renowned for its remarkable health program and eco-friendly tech, he and his wife, Balma, have ruled the Chimeras kindly, but firmly. However, there is a secret they want to know, the origin of the Chimeras. They know the whole race was artificially created, but for what purpose and is it too dangerous for the Realms to know about? Would it cast shame on his living parents?
Tarna Seawind lives in the Gafinar Cecaelia Kingdom of the Mid-realm as a Sea-Witch and visits her boyfriend, Mikhail’s home of Varshenta Beach just west of her on the shore to be a professional gamer. At 342, she is one of quadruplet sisters, all alike. They usually tell each other apart by their hair dye.
