Alice Daylily (She/Her): A bard with a gentle demeanor and a soothing presence. She's considered to be almost motherly to her other party members. It doesn't matter if you want to celebrate or need a solid shoulder to cry on, she'll be there for you with no strings attached.
Alura Draconica (She/Her): A hotheaded dragonborn who's itching to throw the next disrespectful customer at least one football stadium from the premises. She's riddled with scars and sports a stare that could probably send anyone running, most customers check at least 20 times to make sure they made a reservation before talking to this 7-foot bouncer.
Lance Amblecrown (He/Him): A charismatic noble who gets away with a little too much. A bartender who will treat you like a gentleman and serve you a drink, however, something about his pristine and proper facade seems off?
Mars (He/Him): The stone-faced half-orc with a heart of gold, buried under the ruins of his past. Despite his exasperated attitude, Mars is an open-minded individual with intelligence expanding beyond his years. He carries a soft spot for the optimists of the world and is still learning the ins and outs of managing a business.
Paige Noname (She/Her): A cunning half-elf with rouge-like greed. Paige is usually looking out for herself more than anyone else. When she's not working you might see her lazing around or chatting up her other co-workers.
Salvier Willowmire (He/They/She): The younger of two twins who has a calm way with words but still manages to ensure silent chaos. They're a good cook and a fan of all things flavorful. They are on the quieter side compared to their sister but are not to be seen as shy.
Selthy Willowmire (She/Her): The older of two twins. Selthy is a laidback individual, a waiter, and a familiar face to many regulars. Her unwavering support and willingness to confront anyone for her loved ones makes her a trusted ally and friend to those around her.
