giblet
info: In a family of serious thinkers who study nature, medicine, philosophy, and the operations of the natural world, Giblet is the exact opposite. He's here to have a good time. A silly hunk who likes a good joke and doesn't like to think about anything too hard. Loves fun, food, family, and friends. More likely to run than fight. Not a competent flirter, but he'll give it a try. Good-natured, he's easily commandeered for help on projects. He calls the big, gorey mark on his thigh his "funny bone". 
rare
info: A funny friend with about as much brains as Giblet.

pumpkin bat
info: Wary, she's coming to terms with living somewhere with only a few, smaller curses, where the ground isn't soaked with blood and the undead walk the mountain. Is trying to be positive, but frights easily. Suspicious of every distant rustle of wind. Every once in a while, like a sleepwalker, she is drawn to the obelisks.
name:
The land in the shadow of the obelisk was cursed. There were creatures too big or too small to be alive. There were things that should have died, but didn't. The unliving. It was easy to give over to superstition. Not to trust strangers, and to be guarded with friends. There was a constant tension strung through the air, like trying to breathe through cobwebs. Minor disagreements were like a fish's gasp in a black and troubled sea, threatening any minute to churn up a sharp fin and a frenzy of blood.
Food was difficult to find, the berry bushes bare, the animals thin and afraid.
One year, deep in some of the mountain caves, the Totoma found the beginnings of an unusual harvest. Carried by bats and seeded in their droppings were the promise of something new. She guarded the bat's cave, and its yieldings, for months and months and days upon days until the green leaves bore fruit, and the fruit grew bigger and bigger. Something at last good. Her happiest memory. Rich with guano, protected from frost, foreign but as bright and welcome as the sun. Pumpkins.
She shared the miracle with a few others from her tribe, and they harvested the seeds for another season. They gave her a name, too, after her charge and its origin. Every year she looked forward to the harvest, and when at last their mountain was cleansed and an opportunity arrived to leave behind those haunted grounds, improved but no longer the home she knew, she took some seeds with her.

confess
info: A secret keeper, contemplative, unearthly. Ominous.
kiss
info:♀ sweet, quiet, a comfort.
story: He was always listening, to the swamp and its residents. The bubble of water from a hidden caiman, the way the wind bent the reeds, the drone of approaching insects. The hushed whispers of other kin.
He was not sure when it started happening. If there was some pull that he himself exerted, or it was only the novelty of a listening ear, or that he was patient and did not pass judgement. But gradually rumors arose that there was a kin who could take onto himself the outpourings of haunted, burdened, and lovesick hearts and ease their torment.
Some dark truths, some actions witnessed but never voiced, and soon from even far away kin would come to unburden themselves of long-held secrets.
They came to Confess.
