EchoesofOblivion/OmegaCircle

The Sidereal field agents of the Convention on Deathlords, and the party from EchoesofOblivion/EasterInterlude. Its members are (add a bit about your own characters here):

Skippy, the Enlightened Insect: A kleptomaniac Chosen of Endings, stuck until recently in a desk job. Has very deep pockets, all the better to yoink things (and circle-mates) into. At least one of them now contains a friendly fire elemental, courtesy of Yatima.

Quen Lo, Mountains Sorrow: A wondering non political Chosen of Endings, recently wondering the back end of the threshold. Is very tired of politics and would quite like to go back to wondering the wilderness. Has a short pataince for most things and just likes to get on with the work.

: Should also those "wondering"s be "wandering"s?

Black Ice Shadow: A rather screwed-up Chosen of Endings, trained to be a creature of darkness and then put on ice by a worried Bronze Faction. Having been taken off ice for a session, he failed to develop any kind of meaningful personality or display any social skills. He was thus put back on ice and a more-fun replacement was found.

Meris: A Chosen of Secrets, for a change. Knows everything there is to know about the First Age, and most everything about most everything else; however, her general attitude makes people rather believe their own advice...

Suri: A frankly terrified Chosen of Serenity, whose Sifu Wandering Beacon managed to teach how to dodge and parry, and not much else. She's a mean astrologer, and sharp as a knife, though; and not bad at fate casting. She bears more than a passing resemblance, in both appearance and manner, to her field-mouse familiar Nezumi.

Boisterous Cloud: Chosen of Mars, and if he can't hit it, squeeze it or have it flirt with him then he's not entirely convinced by it. Vague worries that his Sifu might be Kira.... Has a history of avoiding work.

Yatima: Sapphire blue eyes; flowers in her (wavy, blonde) hair. Her pet ferret has a particular liking for Lunars and no sense of self-preservation. As for her, she just wants to make everybody happy, possibly via the means of fire elementals. Has a habit of hiding out in Resplendant Destinies in order to do so.

Limmen: Chosen of Serenity. Jailed for 'an incidence of ultraviolence involving a Dragon-Blooded general'. Remarkably kind and nice to mortals. And hates everything else. Has been known to chain himself to Manses and sing "We Shall Overcome" and "The Red Flag". Has been known to accidentally summon Deathlords (well, once. It's not like it's a habit.) He was sure he'd left his dignity around here somewhere - maybe someone's yoinked it again.
