A merchant/treasure hunter who got brand new, high quality mail as part of her pay to travel with the hero, though using a second-hand kettle helmet. Her backpack frame is of about the same period as the mail and helmet, though the load-distribuging straps are a purposeful anachronism that help break up the mail visually. Nov. 2019

The hero character, wearing a double-breasted version of buff coat, and wearing the munitions armor of his former pike unit, though with an earlier-period sallet helmet he's come to prefer for adventuring. Oct 2019

This mercenary is wearing armor found in the first half of the 17th century as full plate was giving way to less armor due to developments in firearms, though in this world the armor is still useful against many monsters. June 2019

A fusion engineering student who works on and off aboard a lunar cycler ship (a ship that continually orbits from Earth to the moon and back, ferrying passengers). Her spacesuit is based on concepts for mechanical counter-pressure suits studied by NASA and later MIT. July 2018

Alternate outfits: a NASA shirt from the lunar colony museum, a summer festival yukata, and a slightly faded JPL shirt from her high school class trip to San Francisco several years prior. May-June 2020.

A magic user from a wealthy merchant family. I wanted her attire to be stylish while still being functional for a polymath always on the move. 2018 (turnaround) 2016 (perspective).
