Ok theyre technically not "connected" or bound to eachother in any way but theyre basically a unit in my mind like gay 3 stooges but with 2 of them but you know what i mean, do not separate them kinda deal

Tldr: Arista is a sleazy used car salesman type con artist document forger, and Awn is their muscle in exchange for free services since they like to float around and try out jobs theyre not qualified for, slow burn romance

Arista
Height: 6'0"
Pronouns: they/them
Age: middle aged
Magic specialty: Can change the properties of an object/person/material by touching it for a period of time, can cause something malleable to be brittle and vice versa, can typically control it but they have outbursts and it just happens sometimes and now their desk is soggy for a day

Sleazy and dishonest, Arista does dirty work by choice because theyre good at it and Like it. They used to be part of a family business and intentionally started fucking up on the job to get disowned but when that didnt happen they just sheepishly left. They are self serving and take advantage of those they feel are less clever than them, but theyre a coward with a massive ego and run at the first sign of trouble. Accepting favors from them is a one way ticket to being exploited in one way or another, though they do have a very bare bones sense of honor and do have limits. Theyre loud, arrogant, but silver tongued and is a genuine charmer when they want to be. Prone to jealousy and never says what they actually feel, or if they do, its often punctuated by an insult or a bite. They initially struck a deal with Awn thinking they were dumb and clueless since Awn gave Arista their real name when asked, but after years of watching eachothers backs Aristas gotten a soft spot for the big guy. Arista was who caught feelings first and was so fucking mad about it at the time. They take things very seriously but pretends like they dont care or are above it.

-can talk out of tail mouth
-tons of street smarts but very poor with problem solving
-gets in over their head often
-can hold their own but prefers to let others do the fighting for them, this is unusual for shedim
-wont admit it but gets worried when Awn randomly vanishes and then gets mad about getting worried 


Awn
Height: 9'5"
Pronouns: they/them
Age: middle aged
Magic specialty: They are structured like an onion and can desiccate their outermost layer to be a leathery armor, they rip out of it when done and if they do it too many times in a row they will be noticeably shorter, they also have a magic deficiency which means after using it they crash energy wise for a while

They come across as simple minded and a bit dull but in actuality is the brighter of the two they just have no ambition,, are a bit obtuse, and prefer to live life however they please. They are content to just chill but their hobby is to effectively wander onto job sites or into businesses and just act like theyre employed until someone starts cutting them a check. Some occupations require certain certifications or documents so they sought out a forger and struck a deal with Arista. Awn is totally fine with being the brawn between the two and didnt care that initially Arista was clearly using them, since they DID get the service they wanted out of the arrangement and crashed at Aristas place in between gigs. Awn has a habit of randomly vanishing without saying anything to anyone, they mean nothing by it and just get bored or distracted by an idea and run with it. They are very literal and unless you ask them for their help they will sit there and just watch you struggle. They dont really get the big deal about any sort of relationships and isnt against hook ups but they dont have to mean anything, which initially frustrated Arista and confused Awn. Theyre aware Arista is a coward and thrives on duping people and wouldnt have them any other way even if its annoying sometimes.

-basically has magic anemia n snacks a lot because of it
-will work nearly any job and is so earnest seeming that their lies feel genuine
-VERY good at playing dumb
-sometimes is actually genuinely just spacey or has wild concepts about how the world works which confuses people
-fantastic at problem solving and does puzzles as their main hobby outside of roaming
-doesnt care about societal standards all that much
-relies on Arista as much as Arista relies on them, especially when it comes to sticky situations as Awn has no tact or charm
