CROW
Occupation: unofficial leader of The Nest
Age: late 40s
Gemstone: "a pure black gemstone, highly polished and slightly tapered towards one end not unlike an egg" (first mentioned here)
Description: Crow has sandy blond hair and dark brown eyes, and can typically be found at home or around the train station. Reportedly, he holds a lot of influence over the town, and is a good person to talk to when troubled. While many npcs have been losing memories, Crow reportedly has not. He is the one who gave named npcs their bird names, as well as the one who named the town The Nest.

Occupation: ferryman

ROBIN
Occupation: rail attendant
Age: early 30s
Gemstone: "fragile light blue shards encased in clear gem" (first mentioned here)
Description: Robin has black hair and light brown eyes, and can typically be found around the train station or cafes in town. She was married to Jay, the train conductor who was murdered early in the game, and has picked up enough from him to operate the train if we ever get it working again. While she has lost a considerable amount of her memories, she claims to be content living in the present. An unknown individual stole her uniform and faked her death via the train's furnace at the start of the game.

Description: Lark has ashy hair and golden eyes, and can typically be seen around town with his mail bag doing deliveries, or hanging out in the graveyard talking to the dead underground. As a postman, Lark prides himself in knowing people and places, but has trouble speaking and reportedly cannot read aside from names he's learned to recognize. It is not widely known, but Lark is able to speak with and, to a certain extent, control the dead.

RAVEN (née HAMTARO)
Age: pre teen
Gemstone: "completely clear, like a diamond, aside from a tiny red spot in the center: a gemstone trapped within a gemstone" (first mentioned here)
Description: Raven has black hair and grey eyes, and can occasionally be seen wandering around town but is most reliably found at Poppy Hall after dark. Following the "sacrifice" of several characters, he awoke without any memories of his identity or past life, and was given the temporary name Hamtaro before learning his true name. His family is dead, and according to the note he had written on the back of a photograph discovered in a burning house, he had sworn to bring them back no matter what the cost. According to the townspeople npcs, according to Crow, a boy named Raven died in a house fire many years ago.

Age: mid teens
Gemstone: "like a fire opal: bright yellow and red that dance like flames when turned" (first mentioned here)

( aoi is polite and keeps her distance until she's acknowledged, only sitting down once it seems okay. )
How are you doing?
no subject
[ Why wouldn't he be fine? it's not as if he nearly died in a fire and is now haunting the remains of the building. What's he even doing here...
He shakes his head to get rid of all the jumbled thoughts. ]
You were there that night, right? I think I saw you, anyways. Did everybody get back okay?
no subject
( surely hiyori checked on hamtaro even a little by the end of the night. )
A lot was happening all at once, it feels like. But I'm glad you got out okay.
no subject
...Yeah, me too. I'm glad there were people around, but I get the feeling that I'm troubling everybody too, just by existing.

no subject
[ Not at this point in time, anyways. Hiiro maybe? was Hiiro a friend? it's his fault Hamtaro has this stupid name, so he's not sure. ]
I might've had friends before, but I don't remember them now. I don't remember anything.
no subject
( aoi beams. it's not the sort of declaration she makes, usually- she's a reserved sort. it was nene who reached out to her, and their parents that had her and akane meet. but... )
And as painful as needing help can be sometimes, I don't want you to think that way at all.
no subject
[ The realization that he's being rude hits as soon as it leaves his mouth, but. If it were as easy as just declaring friendship, then why is it so difficult...? ]
I'm trying to think of what I can do, but I'm not coming up with much. If I could remember things about this town, then maybe I could help people people out- or at least answer their questions about this place.
ori i am sorry i keep dying u_u
That's true, in some cases. In others... not so much. My best friend since middle school used that though, and it worked for her just fine, I think.
( nene's the sort of girl who could do that, even with past rejections. a pity that so few people were willing to give her a chance. )
You've been a great help already, though- none of us can read the way things are written here, for one. And I know a few people are rather fond of you... making someone happy even with something as simple as your presence can go a long way, you know.
it's okay we're all dead and dying
[ He doesn't sound too convinced. Being useful because he's literate is great and all, but it's like the bare minimum for existing. ]
A person's mere existence can't be that helpful... can it?
no subject
( aoi pauses for a long moment before smiling cheerfully like the fucking hypocrite she is. )
It's bullshit!
no subject
A-are you allowed to say that?? We're in a CHURCH.
[ ... whatever god resides in this place doesn't seem to care about swearing, though, if the peace and quiet that persists is anything to go by ]
no subject
( cheery... )
