The Original Times Frontpage: Kaziverse News

Welcome!

This is a newspaper-style page to give you an overview of some of my characters and worlds. I will slowly be adding separate subpages with bios for characters, the info on this page is very emballished for dramatic effect and not always relevant to the characters, and it's a mix of everything all thrown in a blender.

If this page is overwhelming to look at, try it on mobile! It's responsive, so it'll give you a version with only one column at a time.

Niwen and Zahir

Niwen is my precious magic Seer baby, one of my oldest OCs. He and Zahir are bffs, two peas in a pod, emotionally dependent on one another for survival, do not separate.

Evidence

niwen

pure, innocent baby Niwen. Look at that face. He has never done anything wrong, ever, in his life.

Zahir is his childhood friend, bestie, protector, and ride-or-die.

Presidential Alert

the girls are fighting!

two characters glare at each other

Walcott and Alcinder attend the same Academy as Niwen and Zahir, and none of them get along! What a travesty. Surely this isn't a central theme in their respective stories...

Alcinder is a transgirl who uses magic potions to alter her body, until she can afford to make it permanent. Walcott is also trans, and chose to take risky jobs and save up rather than using temporary stopgaps. They fight a lot about it! Both are incredibly stubborn.

Basmat "Baz" Basil Bedazzles Hellborn

Local Imp Causes Problems

on purpose!

Baz peeking through fingers and leering seductively.

Today's story comes to you from Hell, where Baz is currently causing mischief throughout the Pride Ring! Known for traveling in pockets (of both fabric and boob variety), Baz has been spotted around Qismat's Manor, breaking things and generally being a menace.

Qismat "Kiki" Goetia Weighs In

Baz

Qismat, a regular employer of Basmat, assures friends and locals that the beddazling is fun and harmless...

Who doesn't love a little extra sparkle on their new dress, hmm?

—Qismat, Baz's employer

According to manor staff, however, being accosted with a bedazzler gun is not harmless. According to one butler imp, who wishes to remain nameless, "my pants are ruined! Ruined, I tell you!"

Keimrael Doenwyn

portrait of my short-haired axe-wielding Roe

Keim is my WoL. She was a pirate with a ruthless crew before she traveled to Limsa and started hearing the Echo. She started as a Lancer and Dragoon, picking up Archer and Dark Knight along the way but mostly sticking with a lance. She can do some magic, but she does not feel she is proficient at it, and much prefers physical DPS and tank roles.

It took a long time for her to trust and accept the Scions when she first met them, she'd had pretty low expectations of other people after many years of disappointment and frustration, but now she would do anything for them. The events of Heavensward hit her very hard, and she vowed never to let anything like it happen again. She constantly teases Estinien about being the Real Azure Dragoon™, and they have a friendly rivarly over it.

Keim has very strong opinions about agency, and not forcing people to do things against their will.

Jin-Rio

Jin is my twi'lek character from a Star Wars: Edge of the Empire campaign. She was a diplomat working for the Rebellion until she got involved in a conflict much bigger than her, discovered she was Force-sensitive, rescued some kids from the Empire, lost an arm, and became very, very wanted along with her bodyguard and some unlucky cohorts who got sucked into the whole debacle. There were space pirates and betrayal along the way, as well.

She adopted a vornskr (a space wolf who definitely has above-human intelligence) from Myrkr along the way which she named Princess Sting. If anything happened to Princess Sting Jin-Rio would murder the culprit, and then herself.

mysterious singing in empty warehouse — is it haunted or just really super old

Nelle cannot use her voice to speak languages comprehensible to mortals, and she's trapped in the warehouse where she died, so she very much appreciates the occasional visits from her werewolf friend. He is perfectly capable of doing enough talking for the both of them.

The Orphan Problem: A Blight on our Great City

a blonde man smiling up at a man with dark hair and glasses. You can't really tell because it's cropped, but he's sitting in his lap.

Angelo and Corbin

Look at these gay nerds. They're causing so much trouble, such a nuisance. Definitely need to do something about all these homeless children, and it should totally be finding them loving homes and not moving them somewhere we don't have to deal with them!

Winter

a name, not a season

girl with chunky hair that looks like she cut it herself and a loose sweatshirt that hangs off her shoulders.

Whoever cuts this girl's hair should lose their license. Look at those splits ends! A travesty. Who is responsible? Where are this kid's parents?? Oh no, tell me this isn't yet another orphan...

Three characters dressed up in DnD outfits as a bard, monk, and sorceror.

The city is overrun with abandoned kids causing destruction, disturbances, and interfering with the smooth operation of the city. But don't fret! Your mayor's office is doing everything we can to solve this problem. Vote Yes on Question Two!

Private Investigator Opposes Clean City

tired looking woman wolding an open book, her hair a mess.

There are a few holdouts still campaigning against the amendment, including... a local private investigator? That's weird, I wonder what her deal is. Maybe she thinks her work will dry up if our streets are clean and safe? Seems sus to this reporter!

This amendment won't accomplish anything

—Danika Bogden, PI

Always check your sources, folks! This sounds like an uninformed citizen spreading misinformation to me.

Notice: Runaway

A girl with a long scarf holding a knife, grinning.

Mrs Christopher has reported that her daughter, Maxine, never returned home last weekend. She often leaves the house for days at a time, but she doesn't usually miss school, and her mother is beginning to worry. If you see her, please contect her as soon as possible. She just wants to know that her daughter is alive and safe!


local demon returns, mayor's advice: "run while you can!"

demon with glowing eye, face in hands, doubled over in pain.

It appears the demon Keinan is, once again, terrorizing the townspeople. We recommend staying far away from him! If that isn't an option, perhaps consider moving somewhere far, far away. His dad's not someone you want to be messing with, and has even less patience than Keinan does!

Unless someone wants to enlist the Reaper to take care of him, and I don't know about you guys, but I sure as hell don't have the money for that.

If anyone's seen his older brother around, maybe see if he can get the bastard back on a leash. If that's not an option, I think our gooses might be cooked, lads. I'm going to my bunker; don't contact me until you're sure he's gone! And no, I don't have room for anyone besides me. Get your own doomsday bunker.

The Reaper

woman in a leather coat looking scary.

Missing Persons

a woman with long hair and vitiligo smiling.

In the wake of a massacre there are several bodies that still have not been located, including that of young Viyana. If anyone has any information on her fate, whether she survived the brutal attack or where she is now, please let her cousin know.

Kazimir

Contenders for Weirdest Roommates

portrait of a woman with dark hair pulled up into a curly ponytail.

Saori was last spotted in Kazimir's castle. As far as anyone is aware, she's pretty happy with her role there, but that'd be a first for anyone living under the roof of a demon. The townspeople remain skeptical, but powerless to do anything with Keinan so nearby and quick to anger.

Man with straight hair and pointed ears looking kinda sad.

What the heck is this dude's deal? No one is really sure. He lives in a small-ish castle for a demon and mostly keeps to himself, which is straight up weird. He went and ravaged a local town recently, but it was only the once, and no one knows what pissed him off. He's a demon, though, so everyone's pretty much too afraid to ask. Hopefully he goes back to leaving everyone alone. Exept that weird girl who lives there. Someone tried to rescue her once, and she told them to fuck off, so we stopped trying. It's her funeral.


Trio of Misfits Seen Fleeing the Scene of Multiple Strange Incidents. Like at Least Six

Caell

Local boy loves to party. Or, perhaps more accurately, he loves to be invited to parties! He also loves gossip, and go shopping. Do you have a favorite place to shop, or know any hot goss? He would LOVE to hear it, please tell him. You can dish all about it on the drive! Everyone knows cars are completely private and confidential.

What's cookin' good lookin'? Oh I love those earrings, where did you get them?

—Caell, probably

three characters, a girl with buns in an oversized sweater, a boy with dark hair, and another boy in a snazzy jacket with lots of jewelry.

Tanth is definitely a super normal human person who is very real and very human and you shouldn't look any closer or ask any questions, none at all. No one is looking for her, and no one desperately wants to open her up to see how she works! That would be pretty unethical, especially considering she is a normal, fleshy, human girl. Very normal. Very girl.

Ammon

Ammon spends a lot of time either hiding from, tracking down, or cleaning up after Caell. And now also Tanth. Ammon is the most put-upon, world-weary boy you ever did see. Is he playing it up for the cameras? Who knows! Caell does, but he's not telling. As much as that guy loves to gossip, there seem to be some things he is incredibly tight-lipped about...

How About Some Dragons to Go With Your Dragons, with a Side of Dragons

Dragonborn Cleric Loves Hammer, Not Healing

bronze dragonborn with a little ghost hovering near her head.

Lawful (for now) Evil Dragonborn Cleric, loves her hammer. Wralarys was my first DnD 5e character for a Curse of Strahd campaign. She was exhiled by her dragonborn kin where she was in line to become the head of the family, until she inherited the family curse. She went on a quest to try and put the spirit (Dierdre) to rest so she can return home to her family and her rightful place at the top.

Spiteful Rainbow Noodle Guards Mountaintop

feathery-winged seafoam-green, opalescent dragon with a triangular head.

My noodle. Full of spite.

Noodle does not have a proper name yet, she was originally just meant to be a scalie/scalsona that has somewhat becone her own thing now. She loves mountains and her hoard, doesn't leave very often, and tends to eat visitors.

Reports of Elves in Forest Unfounded, Says President

CEO Expected to Step Down At Fundraiser, Announce Heir

As profits reach an all-time high, the CEO's health continues to worsen, according to sources in the boardroom. The rumors indicate plans to announce his son as his successor at the fundraiser on his birthday next week, and possibly even detail plans to step down and finally hand over the reigns. So far, indications point to Ian being a worthy heir, capable of steering his father's empire in the right direction.

Change is inevitable, and I have made the necessary preparations to ensure the success of my company's future.

Rumors Spreading

and city officials are annoyed about it, say to "quit it"

The elves are all gone, stop telling people you've seen them. In fact, we're not sure they ever existed in the first place! For all we know, the people in our records were all high, huffing fumes from their shitty oil-powered machines. We have no idea what people were up to back then! Magic is just science we don't understand yet, this has been proven in studies many times over! Journals were just written by someone who saw advanced tech used by strangers they didn't recognize and called them elves and said they were magical! There's no substantial proof of elves existing, ever!!!
