Membership
| Active Characters |
| These individuals are active, played characters who are considered official members of the Company per forum rules and regulations regarding Loner Bands. |
| The Nagekijoō — Kalypso Savoy (Leader) (Feb 2023 - Present)
The former ruler of one kingdom and the councilor of another, Kalypso is the main trader at the Shingetsu Trading Post. An experienced trader, she is quick to catch thieves and cheats. Though she will aim to get the better end of any deal, she will often settle for more even transactions but will not suffer the short end of the stick.

| The Muramasa — Toraberā Tanaka (Feb 2023 - Present)

|
| The Hoshizora — Dorian Savoy (Feb 2023 - Present)
Dorian is most commonly found in the well protected workshop/studio or at the Inn. The main tailor and stylist of the group, he is often the one working on custom clothes for travelers or regional folks who make the journey to them as well as readymade garments to trade away with tailoring for additional fees. Otherwise, he is most commonly found as a host for guests or just a schmoozer to provide some distraction.
|
| The Hanaisha — Sólveig Dawnrunner (Feb 2023 - Present)
Known for her gentleness and empathy, Sólveig is a natural caretaker and works hard to provide the members of her Company and travelers seeking respite from the dangers of the trails with herbal remedies, basic wound care, and therapeutic recommendations. If she's not tinkering around in the Apothecary Shop, she can be found maintaining the gardens and beehives with Ridgewell, helping out at the Inn, or assisting Appa or her sister, Ingvildr, with their tasks.
|
| The Ginga — Naomi Stryder (Feb 2023 - Present)
Marked by her armor and skilled in combat, Naomi acts as one of the group's guards, be it of the homestead or as an escort. When not defending her bandmates or chasing off trouble, however, Naomi often helps with a lot of background and day-to-day chores and activities; from helping to provide food, to caring for the group's mounts, to sending messages via her falcon, to whatever else is needed. While she may give off knightly vibes, one might also get a sense that she is more of the morally grey variety.
|
| The Kawarutochi — Gaia Dawnrunner (Apr 2023 - Present)
An artist through and through, Gaia has dedicated her life to her crafts and having a good time. She spends much of her time shaping earthenware and creating unique garments. A shrewd saleswoman and courier beyond this, one is just as likely to hear Gaia haggling with a potential customer as they are to find her discussing unique places and people she's met. Gaia is friendly and outgoing, but will rebuke and freeze out those who she believes have acted against her or her family, regardless of the reason.
|
| The Seikan — Rohan Heartsong (July 2023 - Present)
Spurred on by his father's affinity for music, Rohan has cultivated his naturally broad range under the tutelage of his mentor, Ambrose. His pipes are regularly lubricated with honey teas and other brews to keep him at his best — though he is no stranger to taking a night or two off, if it would otherwise risk irreparably damaging his primary instrument. Visitors of Starhaven will be unaware of Rohan's slowly improving skills with his claymore, but those that prove too rowdy may find themselves on the wrong side of the blade.
|
| The Zansho — Erskine Hanzi (August 2023 - Present)
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

| NPCs |
| These individuals are active, non-player characters who are considered official members of the Company per forum rules and regulations regarding Loner Bands. |
| The Araijuhi — Ridgewell Hawkes (cNPC of Kalypso) (Feb 2023 - Present)
Though he had no real direction to go after the fall of New Caledonia, Ridgewell was convinced to follow the group with the promise of employment and little change to his quality of life. Gruff as he is, Ridgewell took on the same sorts of jobs that he had in the pack but at much smaller scale for the Trading Company. His cats can be found everywhere with their eyes on all who enter the proximity of the group's main focal areas.
|
| The Kukkyōna — Amal Naifeh (cNPC of Toraberā) (Feb 2023 - Present)
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
|
| The Shuzō-ka — Aurora Dawnbringer (cNPC of Dorian) (Feb 2023 - Present)
Despite being relatively new to the area in general, Aurora took it in her stride to become the head brewer for the little collective as a means of providing tradable goods as well as libations to keep stock for guests and the Trading Company itself. In winter, she is more often found tending to the trading post and Inn as brewing work slows.
|
| The Mizutsū — Apostrophe “Appa” Evergold (cNPC of Sólveig) (Feb 2023 - Present)
Born, raised, and educated among the coastlines of the region, Apostrophe knows the seas, lakes, and rivers like the back of their hand. A talented swimmer and boatwright with ample knowledge of catching aquatic prey and vegetation, they provide the band sustenance, labor, and assistance in all things pertaining to water. Outgoing and friendly, Appa is easy to approach and always willing to lend a helping hand.
|
| The Kuraihoshi — Ronin Solberg (cNPC of Naomi) (Feb 2023 - Present)
A close friend of Naomi's, Ronin is typically found in her company. His talents in working leather and interest in creating armor pieces have made him the group's leathersmith, although, he is also known for his talents in Lupus hunting and scout work, and doubles as one of the group's guards. He's a bit rough around the edges, and tends to scowl quite often. While not necessarily "rude," he treats everyone with a casual air unless they have earned his respect.
|
| The Kumonokage — Isadore Savoy (cNPC of Gaia) (Apr 2023 - Present)
The eldest son of the Company's leader, Isadore is hardly as outgoing as his mother and indeed, spends most of his time with his aunt. His unique skills in kiln-firing have made him a vital part of the pottery process. When not overseeing this or assisting Gaia at the studio, one is likely to see Isadore spending his time in the surrounding woods or along the river. He is unlikely to engage with strangers, though he certainly doesn't mind "keeping an eye" on them while in the Haven.

| Honorary Members |
| These individuals are active characters who are considered unofficial members of the Company per forum rules and regulations regarding Loner Bands. They may regularly contribute, assist, follow, and/or remain with the group, and may even be considered an "official" member by the characters themselves. However, OOCly, they are not counted towards the Loner Band's official forum numbers/membership. |
| The Sakurasō — Ambrose Rose (cNPC of Rohan) (July 2023 - Present)
Though not officially a member of the Starhaven crew, Ambrose is nevertheless a familiar face, frequently gifting the New Moon Inn's patrons with his ballads of triumph and heartache. The minstrel has somewhat taken a step back to share the spotlight with his protégé, supplementing the young man's impressive range with his own notable lute-plucking skills. When he isn't performing, Ambrose strives to make visitors of Starhaven feel as if they are at their home away from home. For all of his supposed openness, however, he is dodgy when offering up details about his own life aside from his adventures as a world-trotting bard.

| The Ryūsei — Ingvildr Knight (Feb 2023 - Dec 2023)
With the responsibility of providing food for the company and its guests, the huntress, Ingvildr is rarely seen without her bow. When not out hunting, she can be found in her workshop, weaving black-ash baskets or working with wood. Quieter than her sister Sólveig, and somewhat more suspicious, Inga nonetheless has a huge heart and wants to see the best in others.

Location
|
The Shingetsu Trading Company moved from the former New Caledonian territory near Bathurst to a small town once claimed by Mistfell Vale. Because it was in relatively good condition overall and suited their need for a centralized location with a defensible river to their back, the group claimed a portion of the larger town as their own. Most of the surrounding structures remain in relative disrepair, but the excellent condition of the church proved to be invaluable in their relocation, upon which, they centralized their community around. With work beginning in February 2023, the structure was cleaned up, and eventually converted to a tavern and inn. Various buildings around the church were also rebuilt, cleaned up, and repurposed to suit the group's needs for their various trades as personalized (work)shops. By the end of their many weeks and months of hard work and dedication to make a new home for themselves, Starhaven was born, and now serves as a trading village of sorts for the Shingetsu Trading Company to do business out of.
