Character Bio: Edlyn Nodens
Tumblr media
Clothless Version here
Art by @hoodienchaos
Name: Edlyn Nodens
Species: Fae-Subset Insmuth
DoB: September 28th
Occupation: Boutique Manager,
Affiliations: Ocean Avenue Boutique, Violet Fight League, Gnos & Rag (as a freelancer)
History: The owner of Ocean Avenue Boutique, who moonlights as an underground cage fighter at night. She has been operating both the boutique, and fighting for well over a decade since her early 20's. For a while she was able to keep both in separate spheres until one of her employees was kidnapped by a disgruntled rival fighter, and their small pose.
Despite trouncing all 3 and saving her employee, eventually she started to become the subject of a media blitz manipulated from the same rival. Any coverage of her being a hero for saving her employee would be drowned out by framing her as someone who mutilated her face, and participated in an illegal underground fighting ring.
After all of this, she occasionally works with Lenox as private security for her and Brittany when the former started getting older, while still trying to run her boutique with Grohl's assistance.
Powers and abilities: As an insmuth, she has enhanced arm strength when it comes to motions involving her elbow. Due to having the club variant as arms, she is capable of delivering crushing blows capable of shattering bone, and even blowing off slam joints. The limitation of this ability is that the strength is only applied when it is a strike involving the unfurling from a bent arm position. This often leads to a predictable fighting style where if you keep on eye out for forward punches and backhands, it can at least be avoided.
Elemental Magic: Edlyn has access to ice and metal magic.
Personality: Edlyn is at first glance, a very traditionally feminine woman, knowing matters of fashion, carries the air of being a socialite. She acts mature around general company, many comparing her to a matron who keeps an eye out for new members of a social scene, while also having interest in having information on others.
Look deeper, you will find a confident woman who knows of her strength and will show it off when appropriate to do so. She has pride in being an insmuth and reputable fighter at that. In her fights, she will lean into her seductive socialite persona, having an air of smugness making her both a face and heel depending on her opponent. In private with Grohl, she leans into the seductive side as her way of showing affection.
Despite this confidence, she is very insecure over her relationship with Grohl. While she loves him a lot, she worries she constantly makes Grohl look bad due to her short stature, to whom many people have confronted Grohl thinking he is having a relation with someone who is young. Calling Grohl a pedophile is the easiest way to enrage her, letting loose with all of her strength. Edlyn also worried about how she is already halfway through her expected lifespan, making her essentially middle-aged compared to Grohl. Other insmuth have also accused her of dating Grohl to have him as a trophy boyfriend. In instances like these, Grohl is always quick to defend her in these instances, as she does him.

Gnos and Rag Members(post rebranding): Grohl De Palma and Gwendolyn Baek Pung
Origin of Rebranding: After Freddy's participation in the first Baal war and he proved his ability as a killer of god adjacent beings, he decided to expand the scope to a private military contractor. This decision was a devil's bargain, as multiple staff members quit over time out of protest.
Decades have passed since the rebranding, and now there is a new generation of new blood into the company. All the characters below are born after the year 2000's. However, their ages will be kept vague to hid how far out they are.
Tumblr media
Name: Gwendolyn Baek Pung
Species: Fae-Pucca Subset
DoB: September 21st
Occupation: Gnos & Rag Assault team member
Affiliations: Gnos & Rag, Red Room(honorary, but does not associate with them)
History: The company dread knight who specializes at strengthening herself with people’s anger towards her. This talent got the attention of the demon Lucifuge Rofocarept, who as a fiend of spite decided to try and possess her for their own gains. Eventually the two form a parasitic relationship. While she is private on her past and most matters off the clock, she does form a trio of regulars with Grohl, and Edlyn, who are known to drink a lot and tend to get into fights with thugs.
Her reason for joining Gnos & Rag is her respect for Lenox. Their first meeting was memorable
Powers and abilities: As a dread knight, she has the ability to pull from other people's negative emotions to strengthen herself. The one she chooses to pull from is anger. She uses this to make sure her bullets hit their target from, to track them, and even to cause magic to fail by way of chaos magic. This has taken a number on her personality, where she has a tendency to act in self sabotaging ways to keep herself at max power during missions.
Due to being possessed by Lucifuge Rofocarept, she gains the following additional abilities per the nature of her pact.
Information on people's secrets
Knowledge of riches
Agares- Language Knowledge
Gusion- Additional Charisma
Botis- Forced Reconciliation
Gwen can also lend out abilities to people, as long as they make a deal with her and Lucifuge. The following abilities were lent out to the following people.
Buer- Knowledge and use of herbs and plants. Given to Grohl to help his unnatural ability to create artificial flora.
Marbas- Force Transformation. Given to Yumi to enable her fighting style.
Personality: Gwen is a very teasing personality, deliberately saying things to annoy, anger, and embarrass people in order to make herself stronger. She sees teasing and bullying people as both fun, but also important for her missions. As she becomes more acclimated to someone, she does like to tease them as her way of showing affection. The time she started teasing Lenox was something Lenox caught onto and turned the tables on her by calling this out. To which Gwen became insanely flustered, almost reverting to the nervous wreck when she first met Lenox.
Despite how mean she can be to the uninitiated, Gwen will not cross specific lines, namely something that would make someone sad. When this happens, she always makes it a point to make it up to them, or stop antagonizing all together.
After being possessed by Lucifuge, she began to develop anxiety over Lucifuge acting out against her wishes. This fear is so severe, that she gives Grohl and Edlyn permission to hit her if Lucifuge ever says something to them while they are in control.
Tumblr media
Name: Grohl de Palma
Species: Cambion- Curupira
DoB: March 22nd
Occupation: Explorer, Head of intelligence for Magic of the World/Gnos & Rag, SPOILER
Affiliations: Gnos & Rag, SPOILER
History: A drifter from Brazil who after years of being mocked and pitied for having backwards feet, he made his name for himself in Gnos and Rag as the new head of security after Lenox was promoted to drill instructor and HR. He developed the reputation of being aloof and unsettling to the staff, despite not doing much to antagonized anyone. This aloofness actually attracted Gwen to him, who initially wanted to use him as a means of building up strength, but he remained unbothered he would be no matter what she said. Eventually, the two began talking about matters other than volleying jokes at each other, and became friends.
One of the other reasons is, internal organs have been replaced with a plant based organ system. Even the bio-punks think he was insane for doing this, since plant based bio-organics tend to be best in smaller parts. This has restricted his diet to other plants, fluids and minerals. Grohl was born with the ability to create plant life, but became stronger after absorbing a core from one of Kelv Rion's kaiju's, bringing him close to the level of a demigod. The mages across the world also desire to study him, since someone being able to create and manipulate plant life is something no one should be able to do.
Powers and abilities: Plant generation and control- Grohl is an anomaly in the Bio-Ska setting by being able to control, manipulate, and most importantly, create plant life. This ability has gone as far as being able to create small plants in barren wastelands. This does not mean the plants can survive without required resources, but he is capable of deindustrializing a city fairly easily. Not to mention, this affects Grohl's diet to the point where he can only eat or drink specific fluids, or fruits.
He can use this new body structure to grow vines from his body, as well as use them to create seedlings he can use to see others as if they are security cameras. Grohl can also imbue his seeds with magic in order to make them explode, drain someone’s life force, and set them as tracers to follow people.
Personality: On the outset, Grohl comes off as aloof, preoccupied in thought and indifferent to those around him. Anytime someone says something about his legs or something about his anatomy due to the plant structure, Grohl will always go into graphic detail. This serves to discourage people from asking rude or insensitive questions.
Underneath the indifferent and laid back demeanor is someone is defensive of those he loves. Grohl's love for Edlyn is very earnest and sweet, but also he gets defensive whenever Evelyn is accused by other insmuth of treating him as a trophy boyfriend, or when someone mocks her as broad chested or mannish. Both comfort one another about their respective body issues, and assure one another they are both beautiful no matter what.
