New character!
Eparie. He's so fun to write.
New character! Eparie is your main point of contact with the Salvager's Cache. He's a bright, charismatic, individual with feline and aquatic features, making him well suited to work on Soubos. He's very intelligent but thinks he knows and understands a bit more about the world than he actually does. He assumes everyone is out for themselves and readily expects to be lied to, hurt, and double crossed. He's very, very slow to trust. That said, he, in general, is reasonable and keeps his word. Above all else, he's effective and professional. He's a master at memorizing people's wants and needs to create personal gain for himself, and sometimes, mutual gain for both parties. Due to this, he's a firm believer in confidentially and discretion. He's there to do his job, do it well, keep his people safe, and get paid. He is ruthless enough to hurt people in order to do that, but he prefers not to as he considers that a failure on his part. He'd much rather turn on the charm and have both parties walk away a little bit more wealthy - or at the very least, him. He absolutely thinks you're lying to him and is excited to figure out your angle. 👌Eparie will also be taking your questions and giving answers or advice at this time.

I painted Umaii!
They're so sweet. ❤️

They like tea, biscuits, and blankets.
Umaii is a sea slug like humaniod. Umaii is an incredibly bright xenobiologist who is also extremely anxious. They often have trouble making decisions and aren’t very confident. They’re very sweet, caring, and shy. Despite that, they are also very brave - still doing things that scare them, although sometimes they do need a little help to get going.

"I need to sculpt a bat's wing, better look up some reference so I can sculpt the skin wrinkles correctly. Probably should be pretty simple though."
