Verlock

An enigmatic figure known on the streets by a variety of names, though most refer to him as Verlock. He dabbles in a number of barely-legal activities, but the majority of his clientele are those who need a quick pick-me-up, or to forget about the last few hours. As such, he’s the ideal man to find if you need something with some real kick to it. A victim of addiction himself (budding from abuse of PPIs), he makes a habit of gouging his customers for all they’re worth to fuel his habit, to the point that he often gives his clients much tougher stuff than requested to ensure they keep coming back for more. But one client, above all others, has remained steadfast in buying the cheapest, weakest depressants Verlock has to offer, and he’s made it his mission to get him hooked for good.

A couple of politicians

The newly-appointed mayor of Chiclawgo, Zefra is a man dedicated to making his city a pleasant and livable place for all (though admittedly a significant percentage of his votes are only due to his resemblance to a Piskavian). Though his ability serves him well in gauging support to the policies he proposes, he’s determined to be transparent and clean in his duties as mayor. However, such a thing often proves difficult in an inherently corrupt business, and as someone entirely new to the field, no one is really certain if he has what it takes to lead his people.

Though Klanta wished to be mayor himself, he’s since ended up as Zefra’s deputy and secretary. And with the discovery that the toxin he secretes has a calming effect in small doses (and smells like fruit), he’s recently also become Zefra’s personal stress ball. Though not a comfortable or painless experience, Klanta gets paid well for the treatment, so he can’t complain… much.

(Credit to @otinkyi​ for character design and details!)

A woman with an affectionate and whimsical personality (and a bit of a mischievous side), she regardless has difficulty making connections due to her appearance oftentimes quite literally making people sick. To combat this, she took up gymnastics so that she could control her own body well enough not to mistakenly trigger her ability. Since then, she’s taken up instructing others in yoga and mindfulness exercises to make Chiclawgo feel a little less stressful to those in her care.

Lati

Lati has been working as Klanta’s secretary since before Zefra ran for office, and she’s very good at what she does. As sharp and statuesque as she is, and quite sweet to boot, she won’t hesitate to make some colorful and graphic threats the moment anyone makes the mistake of thinking she’s on the market for romance. Though she spends much of her time making lightning quick smoothie runs for the office, she is quite adept at her work regarding sociopolitical matters and the like.
