Veile is the headstrong young leader of House Socha (rather, what's left of it). She wants to travel to the Herge where her title still means something. Heim & Kagan are the main two but I have a couple more characters I'm gonna introduce before SBCF starts... in TWO DAYS!! >w<

COMMAND RUN: "Minority Report" meets "My Own Private Idaho." Echo, a down-on-his-luck fake psychic, teams up with Ren, a real psychic, to stop a killer taking revenge on anyone claiming to have supernatural powers. #OG #preDV #SFF #LGBT

Our love interest Kagan, a kindly knight in living armour. Loyal to House Socha, he's been caring for lady Veile since she was a child. He alone is the group's main defense against the wilds on their journey. (The other main character of my comic Exo, coming out on OCTOBER FIRST!! >w< )

Heim is the main character of my upcoming comic Exo. He's a misanthrope whose healing powers gave him a place among the upper classes until the fall of the kingdom. (guys... shortbox comics fair is on WEDNESDAY.... ( ◍꒪◊꒪◍)❤ )
