Staff
any pronouns ✧ nsfw: x
The stoic leader of Epsilon Cygni, Sanya now dedicates her days to business trade after her fighting days have come to pass. Once a conscipt of the Empire, fate called her to abandon her post and start life anew, with honest work to boot. There is no secret better kept than with her; and you'd do well to keep your wits about you when making negotiations. She's got a good eye for the gold, after all.
he/him ✧ nsfw: x
A figure shrouded in mystery and barstaff to the Northern Cross. Despite his freeloading aura, his calculated demeanor is directed towards helping his lover and owner of the bar in various ways. Proven to be an eccentric green-thumb, his herbs and flora decorate the spaces of their establishment and their menu items. While known for his streak of spontaneous decisions and silly antics, he is surprisingly cold and unimpressionable when inquired at all about himself.
he/him ✧ nsfw: x
Originally a lowly architect making ends meet, he was employed by Northern Cross after clearing out their bar stock and leaving the establishment short on supply, as well as himself on coin. It's a rare sight to see him actually doing any work, but he sure knows his stuff when it comes to drinks. Just...don't leave your wallet unattended in his presence, else you'll be the one short of your savings.

Not only is he a skilled room-reader and mood-maker, Yash'a is a very experienced bartender, afforded by his many moons aboard The Bloody Rose ship. His flesh is littered with stitching and scar tissue... Maybe he has some stories from his time at sea?
