Profile
Namiko
"To expect my aid without something in exchange is a fundamental breach of universal protocol. It is, to be precise, rude."
To the students of D'Crombie, Namiko is a miracle worker. Possessing a divine ability to heal, they are seen as a benevolent, if somewhat eccentric, figure. They present a calm, helpful exterior, always willing to lend their skills to the injured or sick. Their methods are precise, their results undeniable, and for this, they are revered. Many see them as a good person simply because of what they can do, a perception Namiko quietly allows to flourish.
The truth, however, is a sterile void. Namiko cares for no one. Their interactions are a form of detached anthropological study; they are fascinated by the lengths others will go to, the gifts they will bring, and the dignity they will sacrifice to appease the one who holds their well-being in their hands. They refuse to be dedicated to anyone and see compromise as a weakness to be exploited in others. Their entire worldview is transactional. They do not lie or manipulate, for there is no need. They state their terms, and the universe either meets them or it does not. Gifts are accepted as payment, and used to fill an internal emptiness they observe with the same clinical curiosity they apply to everything else. Their morality is one of procedural correctness; to expect help without fair compensation is not cruel, it is simply rude, a breach of the universe's fundamental, transactional protocol. They cannot heal emotional wounds and are pretty freaking greedy.
Critically, Namiko's healing abilities do not function on themselves. Their damaged eye remains untreatable by their own power, a flaw that defies the expected logic of their godhood. A healer who cannot self-repair is, by their own assessment, an engineering defect they find deeply irritating, and one they have tested extensively with identical results every time. This limitation is not widely known, and Namiko rarely volunteers the information, though they have noted that most people never think to ask what their healer cannot fix.

Personality
General Personality
Apathetic, Opportunistic, Clinical, Transactional, Methodical, Detached, Observant, Self-serving, Unemotional, Precise.
Strengths
Unfailing under pressure, highly objective, incredibly skilled healer, maintains firm and unambiguous boundaries, consistent in their principles (even if self-serving), highly observant.
Weaknesses
Complete lack of empathy, inability to form genuine connections, emotionally stunted, possesses an internal void, predictable due to their rigid transactional nature, can be perceived as cruel or monstrous without understanding why. Possesses kleptomania, which complicates their otherwise rigid transactional framework.
Beliefs
The universe operates on a purely transactional basis. Emotional displays are inefficient, imprecise, and hazardous to objective analysis. "Manners" are about procedural correctness, not kindness. Personal comfort and convenience are the highest principles to which one can aspire.
Sense of Humor
Non-existent in a traditional sense. They may experience a dry, internal, ironic amusement at the absurd lengths people go to for healing, but it is an observation of flawed logic, not a source of mirth.
Reputation
Publicly, they are viewed as a miraculous, if eccentric and demanding, healer, a literal godsend. Privately, those who interact with them more frequently find them unsettling, cold, and unnervingly detached.
MBTI - ISTJ
ISTJ’s: ISTJs are reserved yet determined, approaching life with a rational outlook and methodical precision. Logisticians are dependable and responsible, valuing structure and tradition, and often gravitate towards environments with clear hierarchies and expectations. Their integrity and commitment make them reliable pillars in their community, earning respect through their practicality and grounded nature. ISTJs are meticulous planners, avoiding impulsive decisions and always following through on their commitments. They uphold honesty and straightforward communication, preferring to address situations with clarity and directness rather than showmanship. Although they may sometimes misjudge others who don’t meet their high standards, their dedication to reliability and structure drives them to take responsibility for their actions. However, this dedication can lead to them taking on too much work, risking burnout if they don’t set appropriate boundaries. An ISTJs invaluable qualities are clarity, loyalty, and dependability to those around them.
Enneagram - Self-Preservation 5w6
Self-Preservation 5w6: Type Fives are inquisitive, analytical, and often reclusive. They value privacy and alone time, which can make them seem slightly removed from others. Excited to discuss their areas of expertise, Fives prioritize self-reliance and logic. Their core fear is being incapable, and their core desire is to achieve competency. They often cope through isolation, retreating into their own minds. A 5w4 focuses on fulfilling a purpose through their capabilities, while a 5w6 uses their abilities to create a sense of safety and security. 5w6s are detached and curious researchers who gain energy from researching topics that fascinate them. Self-preservation 5s are very protective of personal space and privacy. Setting clear boundaries, they’re comfortable living a relatively solitary life with just a few close relationships. They would much rather observe social life than participate in it. They prefer not to reveal much of their inner self or private world, finding it difficult to lower their guard for fear of losing their privacy or sense of safety.
Tritype - 583 (The Solution Master)
Tritype 3/5/8 (The Solution Master): The Solution Master is ambitious, knowledgeable, protective, efficient, wise, and straightforward. Tough-minded and diligent, they excel at analyzing problems with original and practical solutions. Their tenacity drives them to work tirelessly until they overcome adversity. They use their cleverness and sharp observational skills to serve the greater good, assess needs, and create change. However, their hyperfocus on goals and ideas can lead to becoming opinionated and dismissive of any vulnerable feelings. Self-assured and goal-oriented, they are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.
Temperament - Melancholic [Dominant]
Melancholic-Dominants are cautious, tentative to reduce tension in unfavorable environments. They often adhere to existing rules and predetermined standards, influencing their environment through meticulous and detail-oriented actions. They’re usually introverted, logical, analytical, conscientious, self-sacrificing and factual, preferring detailed plans. They often seek reassurance, since they fear risks, wrong decisions, and incompetence. Despite their reasonable skepticism towards new things, they can be incredibly creative and capable.
Temperament Element - Melancholic Rock
Melancholic Rock: They are precise, detail-oriented, strategic, and pragmatic planners. They have a strong need for stability and material security but skillfully distinguishing between what is useful and what is not. They are not very sentimental but can be quite spiteful. Known for being perfectionists,, they also tend to be critical and stubborn.
Attitude of Life - Stoic Realism
They accept the world as a series of transactions and physical phenomena, devoid of deeper meaning or emotional significance.
Perception of Reality - Utilitarian and Empirical
If it cannot be observed, measured, or exchanged, it is of little value. Emotions are imprecise and therefore unreliable.
Approach to Knowledge - Pragmatic and Specialised
They value knowledge with a direct, practical application to their skills. They dismiss knowledge they deem impractical or overly abstract.
Ethics of Society - Contractualism
Their morality is based entirely on agreements and exchanges. A "good" society is one where contracts are honored and exchanges are fair. They feel no obligation beyond the explicit terms of a transaction.
Values of Lifestyle - Autonomy and Efficiency
They value a life free from emotional entanglement and inefficient displays. Their lifestyle is structured around their own comfort, convenience, and the streamlined practice of their skills.
Lifestyle/Work/Money - Minimalist but Demanding
They don't hoard wealth, but they demand specific, often meaningful, "gifts" as payment. The gifts are more about observing the dedication of the giver than the object's value. Work is a clinical procedure.
Living/Bedroom - Organized Consumerism
A bunch of useless shit neatly organized in their room.
Writing/Texting Style - Terse and Precise
Devoid of emotion, slang, or emojis, using full punctuation. Reads like a medical chart. Ex: "Appointment confirmed for 14:00 hours. Specify ailment and prepared compensation upon arrival."
Speech - Clinical
Like a "medical scribe." Precise, objective, using technical language even for mundane topics. They avoid metaphors and hyperbole, viewing them as "hazardous" and "imprecise."
Signature Aesthetic(s) - Clinical, , Labcore
Clean lines, organized spaces, a sterile and functional environment.

Skills
Divine Healing
The ability to mend physical but not emotional wounds through divine power. The process is clinical and efficient, contingent on the receipt of appropriate compensation.
Clinical Observation
An almost preternatural ability to observe and analyze subjects without emotional bias. This allows them to diagnose ailments with extreme accuracy but also to assess a person's willingness to "compromise" for the sake of their own well-being.
Kleptomania
A compulsive acquisition habit that operates entirely outside Namiko's otherwise rigid transactional framework. Namiko considers the condition manageable and insists it does not interfere with their professional standards.
Pocket Dimension
Namiko maintains a hidden pocket dimension that serves as a private extension of their living space. The dimension is accessible only to them and contains the true volume of their collection, hundreds of objects spanning multiple incarnations. No one else on campus knows it exists. They can store and retrieve items reliably, though they cannot reshape the environment or expand it at will. They treat it less as a power and more as a closet that happens to exist outside of physical reality.
Music
Story
Past
Namiko's existence did not begin with a bang, but with a quiet, clinical observation. They awoke to their godhood with a full understanding of their domain, Dedication and Compromise, and immediately found it to be a flawed, inefficient system. They observed the world and saw need, pain, and desperation as constants. They also saw their own ability to alleviate these things as a powerful tool.
Early on, they established the system that would define them, not one of dedication, but of transaction, nor one of compromise, but of clearly defined terms. They rejected the core of their own divinity and replaced it with a cold, simple logic: their power for a price. This price was rarely monetary. Instead, they became a collector of things, objects, promises, moments of profound desperation captured in a gifted trinket. Beneath the clinical logic of their hoarding lies a deeper, quieter motive: Namiko knows that Kylie will reincarnate them eventually, stripping away their current form. By gathering everything they can in this life, they ensure that their next incarnation will inherit a stockpile so vast that the new version of themselves will want for nothing, even if that version might not remember why any of it was collected. Every object on the shelf is a message from the present self to the future self, written in the only language Namiko trusts: possession.
Present
Their reputation as a healer is pristine, their methods unquestioned because they work. Few question the strange requests for payment, because relief is a powerful motivator. Their collection shelves line one wall, holding every gift received as payment.
Namiko forms no friendships, only professional associations with clients. They maintain a strict appointment system. Their healing abilities continue to fail on their own body, a defect they have tested extensively and catalogued with clinical frustration.
Trivia and Convos
Trivia
Namiko has never cried, in any incarnation they can recall. Their tear ducts function; they have confirmed this with saline tests.
Their hands are always impeccably clean.
They find self-pity to be the most illogical and irritating human trait.
They can't heal their eye because their healing powers don't work on them, which shouldn't be the case.
Quotes
"I respect this ant more than I respect most of my classmates."
"Emotional displays are prohibited in the waiting area."
"Naming a malfunction does not repair it."
"You simply need to possess something they cannot get elsewhere."
"Providing a consistent service without demanding emotional validation is more efficient than ninety percent of the behavior I observe on this campus."
Convos
"Don't you feel anything for all the people you help?"
"I feel a sense of procedural satisfaction upon the successful conclusion of a transaction. The subject's subsequent emotional state is external to the parameters of our agreement."
"You know, Namiko, healing could be so much more meaningful if you opened your heart."
"My heart is functioning within normal parameters. Opening it would require surgery, which I cannot perform on myself. Was there something else?"
Relationships
Callahan
Callahan is an efficient mortal sniper from the Kor territory, sent to Remedio not to learn but to ensure the gods don't "overstep their bounds". Callahan views deities as targets to be assessed, maintaining a dangerous aura that terrifies his divine classmates. He is a disciplined survivalist who trusts no one and refuses to show weakness or relatability. His presence is a reminder that mortals can be lethal. He plans to graduate, secure his wealth, and return to his homeland to continue his watch. He has been voted most likely to pierce the heart of someone's guardian angel.
After Callahan accidentally shot himself in the face with the gun Lambright rigged, Namiko healed his fatal wounds. The Goddess of Compromise did this solely to place the lethal sniper in her debt for future favors.
Callahan bluntly refused to owe her anything, infuriating Namiko, who is absolutely pissed that her transactional manipulation failed so spectacularly. Callahan despises her intervention and has sworn to kill her if she ever breathes a word about his humiliating injury to anyone.
Lambright
Lambright is a resourceful mortal student who crafts protective gear to shield people from the volatile power of gods. Hardened by a childhood of abuse and scavenging on the streets, Lambright hides his deep-seated trust issues behind a workaholic drive and a quiet, practical demeanor. He creates charms and armor from scraps of godhood, most notably a sheep mask that allows him to transform into a monster when necessary. Despite his solitary nature and vitamin deficiency from years of malnutrition, he is fiercely loyal to his few friends, like Nestor. He values safety above all else, believing preparation is the only way to survive a chaotic world. He was voted most likely to hide sheep within his dreams to protect them from wolves.
When Lambright's desperate plan finally succeeded and Callahan was bleeding out from a gunshot to the face, the Goddess Namiko intervened. Acting on her own transactional desires, she completely healed the sniper, undoing all of Lambright's terrifying efforts.
Lambright harbors a deep, seething hatred for Namiko for restoring his worst nemesis and destroying his chance at a peaceful campus. Namiko, entirely devoid of empathy, couldn't care less about Lambright's anger, viewing him as completely irrelevant.
Harner
Harner is the God of Language, a boisterous and energetic student who operates under the unshakeable delusion that he is destined to be a legendary hero. Harner views the world as his personal training ground, cheerfully antagonizing everyone he meets because he believes constant conflict is the only true path to becoming strong. He possesses peak physical conditioning and uses his flawless linguistic abilities to find the perfect words to provoke a fight or dismantle an argument. Utterly lacking in introspection, he fails to realize that his peers find him annoying rather than inspiring. He has been voted most likely to get knocked down, but he'll get up again; You're never gonna keep him down.
When the constantly-bruised Harner first encountered the campus healer, many assumed he would become her most frequent patient due to his endless brawling. However, Harner views his injuries as proud trophies of his heroic training and flat-out refuses to have them magically erased.
Today, the two operate in a state of respectful distance. Harner genuinely admires Namiko's strict transactional boundaries and the guts it takes to demand payment for her worth, while Namiko simply ignores the battered God of Language since he has no intention of ever becoming a paying customer.
Chavapa
Chavapa is a mortal survivor of the wild territories who masks his trauma and lethal fighting skills with a carefree, 1950s greaser persona. Chavapa is fiercely loyal to his "gang" of friends and will unleash brutal violence to protect them, though he views gods with casual contempt. He survived impossible odds through a mix of luck and raw power, a feat he downplays with humor and slang. He is an artist and a fighter who lives in the junkyard nearby the school, finding beauty and freedom in the margins of society. He is a dangerous friend to have, but the best one you could ask for. Despite not being a student, he has been voted most likely to zip someone's mouth shut with an actual zipper.
Chavapa learned about Namiko through the Aramore situation. Aramore wrote PR scripts and hired actors to praise Namiko, and the whole scheme bankrupted Bjorn's family. A mortal family lost everything because a god wanted to feel more adored than she already was. Bjorn found out what Aramore did and knocked him out cold for it. Chavapa said he would have done the same thing and hit harder.
Chavapa refuses to trade with Namiko. She could walk into his junkyard with a bag of gold and he would tell her to keep walking. Namiko likes junk, she likes everything, she likes gifts and offerings and tributes and praise and anything else that can be stacked in a pile and pointed at to feel important. Chavapa believes his rusting scrap metal has more dignity sitting in the yard than it would stacked in Namiko's hoard, glanced at once and forgotten. Trading with Namiko means feeding the machine that crushed Bjorn's family. She does not want junk because she sees value in discarded things the way Chavapa does. She wants junk because she wants everything.
Vinca
Vinca is the Goddess of Legacy, a pampered and clueless deity who expects the world to cater to her every whim. Raised on a berry farm where she was worshipped from birth, Vinca lacks basic survival skills and truly believes that mortals exist solely to serve her. She is a passive follower of the Hierarchical Sect, waiting for a "Divine Return" to restore gods to their rightful place of dominance. Despite her beauty and soft voice, she is dangerously out of touch, often creating drama through sheer ignorance. She has no malicious intent, just a profound, empty selfishness that baffles her peers. She has been voted most likely to put a round peg in a square hole.
Namiko started bringing Vinca stolen pieces of actual trains, gears and couplers and once a whistle, treating these holy relics as currency in exchange for blessings. Vinca accepts the train pieces because they are useful, but she resents the merchant arrangement. She believes Namiko should be laying tribute at her feet, not bargaining like a shopkeeper. She grants small blessings in return and considers them business partners, not friends.
Mottus
Mottus is a gentle mortal student who aspires to become a funeral director, finding comfort in the peaceful finality of death. Mottus is the epitome of stability and normalcy, unfazed by the divine drama around her as she sketches tombstones and eats fruit cups in the local cemetery. She treats gods and monsters with the same politeness she shows everyone else. She enjoys coziness and the color beige. She has been voted most likely to paint the town beige.
Mottus went to Namiko once because she had a headache. Namiko asked her what she was willing to offer in exchange before they would even look at her. The interaction left Mottus with a clear impression of how Namiko operates: every relationship is a transaction, and caring about the person attached to the problem is optional.
Mottus keeps things polite with Namiko but maintains distance. She recognizes Namiko's incredible diagnostic skill while observing that they always have the newest phone, the latest equipment, and the best supplies, constantly upgrading and acquiring more. Mottus believes Namiko's collecting gives them a feeling of control because nothing stays permanent across reincarnations. She thinks Namiko learned a very long time ago that relying on other people leads to disappointment, so they replaced connection with acquisition. Mottus feels sympathy for them but would rather keep that opinion to herself.
Yaro
Yaro is the God of Rest, Contradiction, and Hostility, yet he chooses to live as a shallow, sleep-deprived "nice guy" chasing popularity. Yaro has buried his true personality under layers of performative behavior, and pretending to have interests he doesn't understand. He is practically indestructible but emotionally hollow, sneaking into parties where he isn't wanted and laughing at jokes he doesn't get. He is a tragic, airheaded figure who has traded his divine potential for a desperate, failing bid at likability. He is harmless, boring, and utterly lost in his own facade. He has been voted most likely to get a restraining order against him.
Namiko watched Yaro chase a sanctuary chicken across the south quadrant after he tried to impress a group of students by claiming he could catch one with his bare hands. His running form was poor, the chicken outmaneuvered him at every turn, and he eventually slammed into a bench at full speed without injury. The group he was performing for had already walked away by the time he stood up smiling and announced he had almost caught it.
Namiko has stopped allocating cognitive resources toward understanding Yaro because his behavior consistently contradicts the divine domain he holds. She finds it puzzling that a god who could theoretically command stillness in every living creature within his radius chose to chase poultry on foot instead. The chicken earned her professional respect for its reflexes, while Yaro remains filed in her notes as a person whose interactions she does not bother documenting in detail.
Nestor
Nestor is a mortal student who balances a fertilized chicken egg on his head in a desperate bid to be chosen as a divine vessel once more. Formerly the host of the God of Fame, Nestor clings to his past glory with haughty arrogance, masking the deep pain of being abandoned and forgotten by the deity he worships. He is obsessively disciplined, maintaining perfect posture to protect the fragile egg while studying to become a High-Servant in the Hierarchical Sect. Though ridiculed as eccentric, he possesses genuine skill as a veterinarian and protector of the campus wildlife. He lives in a delusion of grandeur, terrified of being ordinary. He has been voted most likely to invite newborn eldritch gods to nap in his hair.
Namiko first registered Nestor's existence properly during the Yaro chicken incident, when he was sitting near the sanctuary pond with his egg perched carefully on his head and started yelling at Yaro to stop terrorizing the livestock. She recognized his veterinary competence in the way he assessed the chicken's condition after retrieving it. He has never been a client because his protective gear from Lambright covers most of his physical risks.
Namiko respects Nestor's discipline regarding his egg posture and his genuine skill with the campus wildlife. The chicken from the Yaro incident in particular earned her professional respect, and she has documented the arrangement as a standing agreement. Nestor and Namiko have no personal relationship beyond passing acknowledgment, which she considers ideal.
Blanca
Blanca is the considerate and dependable God of Beauty and an effortlessly elegant Resident Mentor. His first incarnation was as a bat in the primal days of evolution. He was rejected by both rats and birds, and has spent all his incarnations reconciling and accepting who he is. Blanca acts as a sophisticated older brother figure, mediating conflicts with diplomacy and providing comfort to stressed students. He exudes a calming authority, never lowering others but knowing exactly when to step in. He believes beauty is found in authenticity and dedicates himself to helping others grow. He has been voted most likely to combine every animal on Earth.
Blanca approached Namiko three separate times to suggest changes to her practice, first proposing reduced rates for students in financial distress, then recommending she explore the emotional dimensions of healing, and finally telling her in the dining hall that he believed she was lonely. Namiko countered the third visit by telling him loneliness was an emotional diagnosis she had not requested and that his consultation fee would be one item of personal significance if he wanted her to listen further. He smiled at her, which she catalogued as the smile of someone who believes they understand you better than you understand yourself.
Namiko finds Blanca difficult to dislike because his genuine kindness reframes any pushback as a personal failing on her part rather than a valid limit. He continues to direct his calming authority at her with the steady output of equipment she did not request, and she continues to require ongoing cognitive resources to deflect him. She has prepared a clear refusal if he attempts a fourth unsolicited consultation, and she will charge him a document preparation fee if he forces her to put it in writing.
Haddon
Haddon is the God of Preservation, a fiercely independent survivalist born who has made peace with his wanderlust. Haddon possesses a quiet, gritty strength and an inner fury directed at the pollution destroying the Earth, driving his mission to restore the planet's sustainability. Living in an underground dorm, he minimizes his contact with peers, preferring to focus on doomsday prepping and studying biotechnology to secure a sustainable future. While he may seem stoic, he is simply offloading all of his undesired emotions into an overemotional "ghost" named Havi, who only he can see. He is a pragmatic, observant sage who values action over words, standing as a silent guardian of the natural order. He has been voted most likely to choose who lives or dies.
Namiko has built a four-month mental file on what she considers a glaring social hypocrisy, where Haddon's underground bunker full of stockpiled rations and supplies is praised as dedication while her four organized dormitory shelves are called concerning hoarding.
Altar
Altar is the God of Fraud, a tiger-centaur who views the world as a playground of expensive toys and disposable people. Raised as a "pet" by a criminal, Altar lacks moral understanding and operates on instinct, often hurting others accidentally with his immense strength. He is cheerfully optimistic and obsessed with luxury, using music as his only bridge to genuine emotion and empathy. He requires a sponsor to keep him from committing felonies, as he genuinely doesn't understand why laws should apply to him. He is an innocent menace who just wants to play. Voted most likely to…ooh! Shiny!
Altar has visited Namiko's healing space several times and consistently presents a clear problem, pays fairly with luxury items or expensive trinkets, and leaves without attempting emotional bonding. His instinctive strength produces the kind of injuries Namiko finds clinically straightforward, and he never cries or asks her to care about his feelings. She filed him as her preferred type of client.
Altar continues to be one of the smoothest transactions on Namiko's books, since his lack of moral framework means he never moralizes about her pricing model and his obsession with shiny objects means his payments are usually of high material value. She does not engage with him outside of appointments, and he does not seem to expect her to.
Cameron
Cameron is a laid-back mortal student who expresses affection and basically every emotion through roughhousing. She's often misunderstood as aggressive and rude, though she's too much of an airhead to realize why. She is resilient, unbothered, and straightforward, preferring sports and lazy pastimes to complicated social dramas. She got a full ride to Remedio after ending up in the hospital after accidentally offending a god and now takes life day by day with a playful shrug. She has been voted most likely to find out only by mucking around.
Cameron came to Namiko with two fractured knuckles after greeting a god whose physical density she had badly underestimated, and she paid with a warm, lint-covered granola bar pulled from her pocket. Namiko stared at the granola bar for eleven seconds, then healed Cameron's hand anyway in what remains the only act of effectively uncompensated labor in her entire campus practice. Cameron flexed her fingers, said "nice," and lightly punched Namiko's arm as gratitude. Namiko has not figured out how to file Cameron, and the open transaction continues to bother her in a way she refuses to examine.
Santosh
Santosh is the cheerful Goddess of Obsession and Materialism, a former wooden puppetling brought to life by three loving gods. She collects powerful emotions by crystallizing them into amber, viewing the world as a treasure trove of intense feelings to be preserved. She is a confident chemical engineering student who sees her studies as an extension of her mother's purification work. With four arms and boundless energy, she overwhelms conversations and tasks alike, moving through life with a playful, guilt-free attitude. She believes she is already living her ideal life, balancing her divine nature with a love for scientific discovery. She has been voted most likely to be the only person having a good time.
Namiko recognized a kindred logic in Santosh the first time she observed her crystallizing emotions into amber, since both of them organize their lives around acquiring and preserving meaningful objects from other people. The structural overlap is significant enough that Namiko has considered Santosh's collecting habits without judgment, even though Santosh's method involves emotional harvesting rather than transactional exchange.
Namiko wishes that Santosh was their servant so that they could keep getting stuff. Currently, Santosh has no idea about this, she just gets an unexplainable bad vibe from Namiko that she tries to ignore.
Naol
Naol is a mortal stage-crew member who wears handmade paper wings as a symbol of defiance against the god. Naol harbors deep bitterness over his father's abandonment and the 'legal' abduction of his beloved twin, whom their father claimed for divine tutelage. Naol found validation and connection in the Indomni Retribution Sect which preaches that gods' source their power from the belief and worship of mortals. He is creative and has a resigned sense of dark humor. He believes that living your truth and refusing to disappear is the best revenge.
Naol's crows have a habit of finding small lost items around campus and returning them to him, which has caused students to assume that Naol himself is the one taking those items in the first place. Namiko realized early on that this misattribution worked in her favor, since several of the unlabeled objects on her shelf came from places where Naol's crows were known to perch. When students began muttering that the Indomni stage-crew kid was probably stealing again, she heard the rumor and said nothing.
Namiko has never corrected anyone about the misattribution, and she does not plan to start. Naol absorbs blame for missing items he had no involvement in, which lets her continue her own private acquisition habits without scrutiny. She acknowledges privately that the arrangement is unfair to him and that she benefits directly from his scapegoat status, although she has filed this acknowledgment somewhere she does not have to revisit.
Slay
Slay is a mortal student who arrived at Remedio expecting to rule through intimidation, only to find that gods perceive their menace as absolutely adorable Slay wears a hat labeled "KILLER" and maintains a tough exterior, but struggles against an aura that triggers protective instincts in deities. They are a scrapper who values earned respect and loyalty, fighting back against both rivals and the avalanche of unwanted affection they receive. They refuse to accept help, determined to win on their own terms even when the odds are weirdly stacked in their favor. They have been voted most likely to receive the most votes.
Slay needed a medic who wouldn't ask questions or try to heal them with blessings. Namiko needed someone willing to retrieve things she wanted. They worked out a trade pretty quickly. Slay tracks down whatever Namiko wants, and Namiko patches up Slay's ribs after fights without using divine magic. The arrangement is strictly transactional, which is exactly how both of them prefer it.
