[b]24 | Nicolau “Nico” Rafael Oliviera Ribeiro | He/They [/b][hr][i]"There’s still a lot of love left in this world. It's our job to protect that."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Born in the wonderful city of St. Portwell, Oregon, Nico moved to Cloverfield with his fiancé, Julian Wilde just over a year ago. Thanks to this they managed to avoid the Cataclysm itself- but saw the after effects. A talented wood carver, Nico lives a relatively simple life in the South Side. A low paying job in a grocery store in the North Side, and a cheap apartment together in one of the worst parts of town. It's not much, but for him it's enough.

Nico is someone who tries to see the light in the darkness. With this comes a friendliness that draws people over to him. At five-three, he’s short and unassuming. Scrawny, in a way, but it's easy to feel at ease around him. But he must have a killer skin regime, with skin so smooth it’s like he’s never been hurt. There’s nothing threatening about him- and Nico doesn’t want there to be. He’s trying his best to make his way around a broken city, attempting to forge connections with untrusting people. For now it’s mainly just him and Julian, and a few people from an art collective they formed… but that’s something he’d like to change. At least, he’d like to make some more friends.

He’s chronically ill, but manages to live around this as best as he can.

[b]26 | Dominika ‘Domi’ Tien Zielinski | She/Her [/b][hr][i]"If only the world could be preserved like a photograph."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Originally born in Poland to a Polish father and Vietnamese mother, Dominika ended up in St Portwell, Oregon with her family in her early teens. It was here that her love for photography bloomed, giving her a way to connect with people and a support when her life grew much worse. Then, it was a second income on top of the menial jobs that barely kept them afloat through university.

Domi moved to Cloverfield just recently, in the hopes of making a better future. Of course, the South Side of Cloverfield isn’t exactly what dreams are made of… but it’s much cheaper to stay in. She’s never found without one of her many cameras in her hand. Domi stands at five-two, with dark wavy hair and light brown skin. She tends to dress casually, and her face is normally hid behind the lens.

[b]23 | Ash Bailey Price  | They/them [/b][hr][i]"Everything’s fucked, so might as well make that into something."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]A drifter, Ash has only recently settled down in Cloverfield. Their life has been difficult and solitary. This is part of their fuel as an artist. Art is everything to them- the only good thing to come from their struggles, and the one thing that helps them with it. Ash is rarely found without a sketchbook, always sketching down their new ideas. While charcoal is their preferred medium, they’ve been able to expand into painting in the past few years. 

Part of a small art collective in the city, Ash is still a rather quiet and introverted person. But with those they know, their biting wit comes through. They care about those that manage to get through their walls- which is very few people. There’s very little they wouldn’t do for these people. Ash is taller at five-ten, with darker skin and dyed green dreadlocks. Their face is covered in piercings while their fashion varies from alternative and gothic to whatever cleans clothes they have around.

[b]21 | Laurel Ffion Woods | She/They [/b][hr][i]"If I work hard enough I’ll be able to get my family to a better place."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]The third Woods child, Laurel is the shyest in a headstrong group. Growing up she was always hiding behind Bryn or their parents. She preferred to be inside reading a book instead of playing outside with the other children. But just like all four of them, Laurel has a fierce love for her siblings and community- even though she’s now left it at her sibling’s urging. Incredibly smart, Laurel managed to fight through the obstacles of poverty and a tiny, underfunded school to get into Cloverfield University with a scholarship. At eighteen they moved to the city itself, finding an apartment share in the Lower District and commuting to the north side to attend classes with people nothing like them.

While Laurel has to work hard, both to retain her scholarship and in a minimum wage job to supplement what Bryn can give her, she’s come into herself since she left home. While she’s still relatively quiet she’s much more confident, forcing her older siblings to treat her as an equal. Even though they clash more than they used to, she still has a good relationship with Bryn. 

Laurel kindled at twelve and was inducted into the Grove just afterwards. While she was trained when she was young, Laurel is the weakest magically thanks to favouring academic studies over the magical. She’s still competent enough and retains her Grove membership, attending meetings when she’s in town. Laurel is five-ten, with a well maintained afro and a couple of tattoos in mostly hidden places.

[b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - Red & Green Lux. Channeler: 
[indent]Unlike the family tradition of rocks and flowers, Laurel primarily specialises in hydromancy. She has a high control over water, able to take even small sources and use them in deadly ways. Along with this, she can turn her body into water she can freely manipulate, skillfully combining her two lux types. 

Laurel is also a decent healer, though nowhere near her brother. Her main Green Lux talent lies in body transformation and manipulation. She can make herself or others look different, for disguises or similar. She can also use her Green Lux to enhance strength, speed ect for both herself or someone else consensually. Her magic is generally more supportive.
