Joel Gwylim: a normal human with a normal human life. After moving out from the orphanage in which they were raised, they spent most of their days working in the local seaside bakery and visiting with their siblings, then spent their evenings curled up with their beloved partner, ██████.

...until ██████ had a run-in with a particularly nasty sea-terror. Helpless but protective, Joel struck a deal: they would give their body over to the sea-terror willingly, if it promised to never to any harm to ██████.

So now, there's no more Joel -- only Proteus. Proteus, who seems to be the polar opposite of Joel in every way: loud, vulgar, and sadistic, who seems to take equal joy in experiencing humanity and ending it. The only thing the two do seem to have in common is their dedication to a promise. Unfortunately for ██████, Proteus seems to have taken its pledge to never let it come to harm very seriously. That, or he gets some kind of kick out of hanging all over ██████ like nothing's changed...

Naught

Joel's partner. Pretty cute, and extra fun to tease! Insists he call it "Naught" rather than its name. Seems to hate Proteus (a lot), but can't quite seem to kick him out entirely...

Proteus's ex. Came up to the surface with him at Proteus's request, but Ari was always a little pathetic, and, well. Can you blame a guy for getting distracted?

Warning !! Proteus knew all things—past, present, and future—but disliked divulging what he knew. Those who wished to consult him had first to surprise and bind him during his noonday slumber. Even when caught he would try to escape by assuming all sorts of shapes. But if his captor held him fast, the god at last returned to his proper shape...
