Unmoderated Areas: NPC Registry
Use this thread to create NPCs of various dispositions for cities that are unmoderated. Cities that are moderated should be run through the normal development process for that area. They might be one-off story pieces, or they might be someone you think of and just submit here. This will allow consistency between players and will mean that you can have more skilled NPCs than the usual "flavor" ones being played consistently without needing to go through the full approval process.
As long as the NPC meets the requirements/restrictions below, you may play them immediately and don't need to wait for approval. They should be submitted before the thread starts, however, you just don't need to wait for the approval. Also - please still be aware of the lore and theme of the place these NPCs appear. Please play within the context of their area, and don't go overboard. Maybe your new arch-nemesis or best friend is below!
The NPCs are sorted by Impact - as in the Impact they will potentially have in the stories of your PCs life.

Velvessa Sej'lehna
This npc already exists here (under "Inn for Dinner")
Name: Velvessa Sej'lehna
Race/ Age / Gender: Biqaji/ 30 Arcs/ Female
Location Eztos - "Inn for Dinner" npc
Submitted by Natalia Gregorios
Role: Named in the Credits
Skills:
Dancing: Expert
Socialization: Expert
Athletics: Expert
Combat - Blade: Competent
Business Management: Competent
Seduction: Competent
Strength: Competent
Cooking: Novice
Personality / Quirks Along with her husband, Mah'ludre Sej'lehna, Velvessa is owner of the "Inn for Dinner" in Etzos. Velvessa is often found doing whatever needs to be done, whether that's helping in the kitchen, serving or cleaning inn rooms. Her sultry dance routines, however, are famous throughout Etzos. She enforces a very strict 'eyes only' policy, but knows the less clothing she wears, the more money will be tossed her direction. Velvessa uses her skills in seduction in a grifter's sense only - for coin, information or services - and would never consider crossing the line. Bold, brash and thoroughly biqaji, there's a good heart underneath.

Sabrina
Name: Sabrina
Race/ Age / Gender: Naerikk/67 Arcs/Female
Location Etzos
Submitted by Max
Role: Named in the Credits
Skills: Seduction (Expert), Dancing (Expert), Daggers (Expert), Stealth (Competent), Unarmed Combat (Competent), Medicine (Competent), Intelligence (Competent), and Torture (Novice).
Personality / Quirks Sabrina is a lithe woman with tan skin, gently curling dark hair, and piercing blue eyes. Her confidence, mysteriousness, and objectively coveted figure have made her something of a lesser known celebrity in the Etzos Underground. Those that are tolerated and can blend into the scene under the city, with a taste for darker vices, tend to clamber into a speak-easy type of brothel where she works. Her tantalizing, engaging dances are the main event almost every night. While objectification fills her coffers, Sabrina has no problem doling out just consequences before security if someone crosses a line. She takes pride in wielding both her sexuality and her daggers as her weapons. Her ability to enact cruelty doesn't overshadow her pride in her trade though. She would much rather manipulate than make a mess, and between her intelligence, wit, and alluring grace, Sabrina rarely finds herself in trouble she can't slip her way out of.

Name: Cazuth the Mite King
Race/ Age / Gender: Tunawa male, born 648 34th of Ymiden
Location Bailey's Peninsula (Etzos Wilderness)
Submitted by Clavam
Role: Starring, the Mite King.
Skills: Unarmed Combat (Toṣeọruni Az'vi): Master; Stealth: Expert; Leadership: Expert; Medicine: Expert; Tactics: Expert; Detection: Competent; Fieldcraft: Competent; Mount (Arachnid): Competent; Discipline: Novice.
]Description & Personality: Cazuth is a cold and pragmatic tunawa, who nevertheleess enjoys the company of his beautiful wives. Although he'll think little of sending any of his children or even sometimes his wives on expeditions into the wilderness or cities of Idalos, he is capable of incredible fits of rage when even one of his children should suffer injury or casualty. He is devoted to Sintra only as a matter of Pragmatism, and not true unconditional devotion. He sees himself as a Monarch in his own right, and will not abide being treated as yet another servant. He will see her fulfill her promises to his people, and will honor his end of the bargain in turn.
History: Cazuth wasn't born in an arachnid's den, as some of his children had told as bedtime stories to each other. He was an ordinary, yet ambitious and driven sprout, born under the darkness of night as all male tunawa are. Yet before long, he caught the attention of the Queen of Arachnids, through his adeptness at the art of trapping his foes and subtly manipulating situations to his advantage. She allowed that he could earn her favor, if only he delivered a phial of Ojogbon sap for her. He did this, and was swiftly granted leave to enter the service of the Spider Queen in exchange for unnatural fertility.
His accumulation of wives and children began soon after the theft of the sap. His courtships were partly driven by the fear that Sintra might have designs upon the Ojogbon, and thus compelled his urgency to spread his seed as it were. Before three decades had passed, he'd already accumulated a couple hundred children, and four wives. Thus bolstered, he slowed the expansion of his little kinship, and focused on strengthening his bond with each of his children.
This didn't escape the notice of Sintra. She saw an opportunity to further her influence, to gain hundreds of followers by the ministrations of Cazuth. She appeared to Cazuth a second time, and offered him the power granted by her adoration, as well as a small colony of spiders that would forevermore protect and serve his family. Thus intrigued, he agreed to another service in her name. This time, however, the ask was far more personal. She asked for the legs of his first and only son, Bracken. Bracken was an accomplished rider of beasts, a hunter and an acrobat. He cherished his mobility. Cazuth was horrified that Sintra would make such a request. Yet the promise of more power and security for his growing clan proved too much not to indulge.
He found his son in the night, and pruned his legs with an oshgon blade. Sintra appeared on the spot, lest Cazuth change his mind, and took the legs, also deigning to show mercy on his son, thus sealing his wound with a droplet of magical spider venom. From then on, his son, Bracken was half a tunawa, but they set him up with his very own spider mount and special riding equipment, so that he might be able to move yet.
Even so, Bracken never forgave his father's betrayal, and has sought to undermine him, with dreams of usurping his position in the clan.
It was shortly after this that Cazuth was found to be lacking in moral and veritude with Moseke and the spirits of the earth. Thus he was expelled, and forced to flee with his clan and his spiders to the very shores of the Southern Continent. There, they found a seaworthy boat that might transport them to the Western Continent. The rest of Cazuth's history is wrapped up in the story of the clan itself.
