Skylar

Skylar didn't ask for this, but she's got to deal with the cards that the eldritch gods dealt to her, because maybe, JUST MAYBE, she'll be able to take her 'sisters' and lead a normal [un]life after this. She might not be the brains of the operation, but she's definitely the brawn, which is why she'll often let her fists do the talking. She's not going to take crap from anyone, so try not to threaten her or her 'sisters' unnecessarily.

Taryn

As a purely logical thinker, Taryn sees the world in black and white: something is either Correct or it is Incorrect. She's not someone to go to if you need an empathetic pat on the back, but she's a keen problem solver and still very eager to help. It's hard to rile her up, as she's the type that can take most things in stride. They're already dead, aren't they? How much worse could it get?

Dahlia

Excited and always ready to Have Fun with the sacrifices, Dahlia is looking to bring the fun into sacrificial rituals. Death is temporary, but friendship lasts forever, and work is not work if you enjoy it. Right?

An amnesiac three-headed cerberus that calls themselves Tinea; however, they also adopted the names of Serena, Luna, Isis, and Vastella. They lived in a fog ridden cave behind the morgue for some time, but after having been shown kindness by the people of Shadowpeaks they decided to take residence in the church. Now they spend their time there with their 'little moths' or members of Acedia... at least when they're not assigned to another Sin Team. For the price of some meat you can receive healing from them.

Guardian of the Lunar Coven

Fae is a self-absorbed brat. She lives around a broken stump surrounded by a fairy ring in the forest to the east of the cul-de-sac. You should avoid disturbing her ‘home’, because she’s incredibly protective of it, and she won’t hesitate to lash out and curse you if you don’t heed her warnings. But she’s not wholly unreasonable, and if you’re interested in small utility abilities, cosmetic modifications, and/or small transformations, then she’s here to help… for a price. You can 'reach' her HERE.

Pinilope

Pinilope is a gremlin who loves shiny things, weird science, and the greatest thing of all time: PINS! You will never see Pinni without at least a vest's worth of pins on her at all time. She loves collecting anything shiny and interesting. This includes pins, puns, and weird fun facts. She is, however, not especially bright, and is easily riled up when a situation isn't working out exactly the way she pictured.

Wadsworth

An enigmatic robot butler, who shows signs of evolved intelligence, though he still has a limited understanding of humans and their emotions. While he politely insists he is around to provide aid and support to the people of Shadowpeaks –is he actually helping? His employer remains a mystery, but it is highly likely everything he does is still in service to them and their goals.

Mr. Beat

Mr. Beat will give it his all, as long as the children of Shadowpeaks do the same. He does come off as a lazybones, as he likes to lounging around with a drink or a snack in hand. He even has a bag of cookies he carries with him, but he'll tell you those are for a special occasion. Every so often you might catch him startling and looking at his hands, almost like he's forgotten his current state of being? Wow, weird. But he's pretty laid back and calm otherwise. There's nothing that can get under his skin, after all.

Bob

He's just some guy that works as a conductor and loves spiders.

[She tips her head, and starts walking.]

Anyway. Can you tell me anything else? What to expect?

As soon as you plant the mushroom and come back to me I'll perform a little ritual to imbue your spirit with that of a wolf. And once that's done you'll be able to harness that wild spirit and turn into a wolf whenever you like~ As for what to expect, well, the spirit is still wild, so you'll have to actively rein it in from time to time. [ a little hint that she'll lose herself completely once a month. looks up at aloy. ] Don't stay a wolf for days at a time or you'll force its hand, so to speak, and lose yourself to it briefly. [ a warning against being nonstop wolf. ] But if you're becoming a wolf, then you'll likely enjoy doing wolf things like hunting... although I imagine you already enjoy that, and howling at the moon.

I am a machine hunter. What's with people talking about wolves and the moon, though?

I guess you’ll be finding that out pretty soon, huh!

People always want me to find things out the hard way.

But that's just life~

What's the fun in getting told every single thing every step of the way?

Would you still say that if I turned the tables?

[ stops moving and takes a seat. ] What do you mean?

If I found something for you to figure out.

[ her tail swishes lazily. ] Good luck. [ she smiles, but she might be looking forward to it… a little. ]

I’ll see you soon, Aloy. This is as far as I go.

[She pauses.]

One more question. Why do you want the mushroom at the facility?

Because I want them everywhere. [ she did ask someone else to put a mushroom elsewhere, but that doesn't seem to have gotten done yet. ] I'll see you when you return. [ and then she turns tail and heads back to her ring. ]

Fair enough.

[Mumbling as she watches Fae go. Then she'll head for the facility. She's going to plant this mushroom and only get distracted by like one (1) open world brainrot thing along the way.]

[ fae will be waiting at the ring! ]

[she's definitely a bit worn out when she gets back, her flowers closed to reflect that she hasn't been resting well.]

Can you tell from here?

...huh~ I have been wondering about that. [ points to the flower. ] How'd you get that? And why hasn't it bloomed?

But yes yes yes. Before we get too far off topic~ I can tell, and thank you, Aloy!

There was a storm of spores, and I - uh, ended up coming back differently.

[FAILS TO EXPLAIN THE BLOOM CONDITIONS]

Does this help you much?

A spore storm? And I missed it? [ huffs. ] What a bummer.

And what, hearing about your sad little flower? Or you planting the mushroom? [ she hops off the stump and transforms into a person. ] Have a seat my dear!

Guess you just had to like mushrooms.

[She takes a seat. Is it okay to want to be friends with someone who wants to turn you into a wolf?]

I meant planting the mushroom. - And the flowers aren't sad.

I do like mushrooms! Maybe another spore storm will happen. I bet it would be a lot of fun. [ l- lol. ] And it helps a lot! and I appreciate it.

...let's agree to disagree. [ he appears behind her and leans in. ] Because they're sad. [ she chuckles into aloy's ear. ] Alright. I need you to close your eyes and clear your mind. This might tickle~ but I'm just taking a look at your ~~~wild side.

Ready?

[Starts a little at the proximity, then just awkwardly puts her hands on her knees. She's normal around people! See!]

My wild side is my hair, huh?

No no. [ fae backs off and then moves to stand behind her. the mushroom circle glows as fae chants a little something under her breath... a strange humming coming from the forest around them. suddenly! aloy's going to feel a tingling sensation throughout her entire body, which starts glowing shortly thereafter. a flickering apparition of a wolf appears before her and she just knows it's her, it's a part of her, but she just has to rejoin it. ]

Reach for it, Aloy. Go go go.

[She leans toward it, fascinated.]]

It's a little like the holo...

[That is her, isn't it? Aloy's getting off the stump, as she reaches for the apparition.]

[ as soon as she reaches out and touches the apparition she'll feel at peace... and like she's one with nature. she'll fall into a bit of a chance as she sees her spirit intertwining with that of the wolf... two halves of a whole. once the spirits connect she'll be knocked back to reality! and she'll fall flat on her ass. immediately she'll realize her senses have all heightened and she can change into a wolf at will. ]

[ other quirks she'll discover is she'll feel compelled to howl at the moon, only meat can satisfy her, so veges ( and other foods ) will make her tummy ache, and "once a month" she'll lose herself to her *new* feral instincts and she'll give in to her wild side. ]

[Falls! On her ass!

And for a moment, she's sitting there staring, breathing hard. There's a lot to take in now. A few moments. Just a little time.

then BECOME WOLF.]
