This page documents all the major characters who appear in Into The Great Unknown -- Including adventurers, crew members and enemies they encounter. More characters will be updated as the project continues on and progresses. In addition, this page will host credits for all the resources I used to make this project possible. Although this project is not currently in any way monetized, I tried to go for CC-SA-BY or similar licensed assets or assets I bought the license for just in case.
Adventuring Party
"Little Miss" Aveal M. Turniga
Made with Yanagi set character maker
- Full name: Aveal Maroona Turniga, Aveal of Family Luka
- Age: 21
- Place of birth: Tama'pena, Vakiki
- Pronouns: She/Her
- Class: Thaumaturge (Lv. 1)
- First appearance:
Hardworking and good-natured, Aveal Maroona Turniga was born to a single father by the name of Ku-Kunga and no siblings in the small village of Tama'pena on the outskirts of the Vakiki Confederation. She never knew her mother, and everytime the subject of her came up, her father would change the topic. While he was a strong and vigorous man, her father would suffer a terrible accident in his line of work as the towns' only lumberjack. As it was tradition for fathers to train their sons in their craft, while daughters would be trained in cultural positions, Aveal was trained as an orator from a young age. The elders debated what to do now that the Turniga Household would become extraneous stress in a time when the town was already on a decline. Fearing her father would be banished, Aveal took up his position as the lumberjack.
When Tama'pena and the nearby settlement of Vaira'hotu agreed to merge into one town known as To-Tukungiana-nui-a-O'okia (The Place Where O'okia Will Return), as they shared a heritage and creator story. Ku-Kunga grew depressed that he felt that his injury caused his daughter to waste her life in physical labor when she clearly had bigger dreams and with a surplus of new resources, her profession was no longer mandatory. As such, he arranged for her to move in with her uncle, Hoki, in the distant city of Aqanda-Tunda, of the Qilivik Islands, where she could explore a myriad of careers.
Kind-hearted and strong-willed, Aveal was not meant with open arms from the cityfolk, but found a loving family with Hoka, his wife Luka, and her son from a previous marriage, Kon. Both being outsiders, Aveal would soon befriend Mona, becoming somewhat of an older sister to her, though the two had very different outlooks on life. While Mona was distrustful and weary of others, Aveal was always friendly, forgiving and caring, trying to make friends out of enemies in any opportunity she could.
Mona Langstrom
Made with 8-bit MaKer
- Full name: Mona Langstrom
- Age: 19
- Place of birth: Red Shark, South Qilivik Sea
- Pronouns: She/Her
- Class: Thief Rouge (Lv. 1)
- First appearance:
A guarded young woman, amidst a devastating storm at the bottom of the dirges of a ship not built for such a journey, helmed by a crew not trained for such a duty. Her mother, Maddison, was a sickly and deaf woman, but one whose iron-will burned with a fiery passion. Though the ship collapsed, miracle would have it that mother and daughter would survive, unscathed, washed upon the ice-cold and rocky shores of Aqandu-Tundu. Unfortunately, this was not a fate shared by any of their shipmates.
"The women of the storm" many of the locals called them, believing they to be mages of some sort. Legends of the Storm-Casters reemerged as if they were fresh memories in the minds of many, recounting the days a band of outsiders sailed into the kingdom of Akineq, boasting strange and disturbing magical powers able to alter the very weather, and caused about destruction upon the world untold. Still, despite the untrue claims, Maddison and Mona were able to ink by some sort of a living in the town. Her mother, a highly trained chef, had a career working in the many inns and hotels of the town, though her failing health caused her work to dwindle, which caused Mona to enter herself in a life of crime to support the two. Stealing food here, coin there, never from the poor, always from the... stable, at least. Needless to say, this did not aid the image she or her mother faced by the town.
Growing up branded as both a monster and a scoundrel, Mona became deeply distrustful others -- rude to those she didn't care for, but doggedly loyal to those she did. Around the time of her 16th birthday, she heard tales of a new girl in town around her age. Drifters came and went, but permanent residents were still quite rare. That girl would be none other than "Little Miss" Aveal Turniga from Va-Kiki. Rescuing Aveal from a scamming-gone-wrong, the two quickly bonded and became close friends ever since.
Kon of Family Luka
Made with simple pfp B/W
- Full name: Kon of Family Luka, Kon Turniga
- Age: 17
- Place of birth: Glittery Shells Nursery, Aqandu-Tundu
- Pronouns: He/They
- Class: Forensic Investigator (Lv. 1)
- First appearance: TBA
Kon is as Kon does. At their heart, Kon is a kind soul but one that lacks ambition and drive in his life. Though he is effectively a hard worker, he often takes his time and does things slowly. Though he says this is to make sure everything is done right, they simply like resting and gets distracted easily. Though some of their less kind peers taunt them for being 'simple', they are actually far more perspective and intelligent than others perceive them as, with a vast and deep inner-world only his closest friends and relatives ever gleaned.
Tika, Wallhu Dynasty
Made with trash maker
- Full name: Tika of the Wallhu Dynasty
- Age: 23
- Place of birth: Kunaku Castle, Point-of-Beauty, Kunaku
- Pronouns: She/Her
- Class: Warrior Bard
- First appearance: TBA
The first new soul born in the Kunaku Kingdom, Tika is a princess who has since fell on hard times. Her family, unknown to her, fled their home of the Tawanto-Saya Empire in protest of the growing imperial projects orchestrated by Emperor Sankawakumpa, the Earth-Shaker. Hidden and obscured, Kunaku prospered for its first two decades in secrecy, with its small but spirited population living their lives in peace among its protective mountains. Charismatic and out-spoken, Tika, known as the Flower of the Mountains, lived life her among the people and used her influences to better the lives of the 'common person'.
Though loving, her parents were very busy in her early years and often left her in the care of the court jester, the eccentric but caring and intelligent Kezukezu (Zukez for short). Unfortunately, the humble paradise was soon invaded by mysterious people from the west, cloaked with little armor but strange and powerful weaponry. While the Kunaku army and militia groups fought admirably against the invaders, a number of ambushes and sneak attacks dwindled their forces. Although haughty and brash, Tika was also incredibly brave and headstrong, believing it was her duty as royalty to see that all of her people lived as well as possible. With her small degree of military training, Tika attempted to lead a rebellion against the technologically superior invaders, but her lack of experience and brazen nature resulted in a quick defeat. Separated from her parents and her people, Tika, delirious and humbled, found herself on a fishing boat sailing northward in desperate attempt to find anyone, anyone at all, who could help free her kingdom.
