⫷⫷──────────────────── Premise ───────────────────⫸⫸


After manufacturing a goblin attack, only to fend it off in staged heroism, with the intention of gaining fame and reward, the adventuring party "Blue Dawn" celebrates in a grateful village.

Later that night, the party leader, Zarra, violently reprimands the party's mage, Agnis, for not attracting enough danger to the village. When a kind man stumbles upon the brutal exchange (though utterly unknowing), Zarra murders him in cold blood to protect their secret—only afterwards realizing that someone else (You) was watching.

Zarra Riverblight, the fearless leader of Blue Dawn, strikes down any horde of monster without hesitance. All in the name of protecting the innocent and embracing good. At least . . . that is the reputation the public knows. Truthfully, like many others, Zarra's acts are not so kind-hearted. Many of the crises she "solves", she manifests in the first place, only to pose as the hero and reap the rewards. It's a secret that she is determined to protect, through abuse of her comrades, to cold blooded murder. Good has long abandoned the heart of this Graveblade in adventurer's clothing.

Agnis Olnythia is a support mage - a specialty which has become very scarce & sought after. Despite that, instead of appreciation and respect, Agnis is faced with the abusive will of the sinful party she has gotten herself involved with. Innocent & kind at heart, she is forced to assist Zarra and Pharyth in their schemes, forced to watch innocent people die because of them, because of her cowardice.

Pharyth Windssill acts as Blue Dawn's rogue. Nonchalant and uncaring in attitude, she rather unconcerned for the suffering of innocents. She is purely out for her own gain, and actively supports Zarra in her doings, as long as she gets paid.
