The goblin crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own white bishop. Known as Prince Yeonsu in his human life, the former noble boy was killed quiet young in an effort to take over his throne, and he died with guilt over not serving his people well. He had evolved unto becoming a bit of a hobgoblin in the 13 Rings, but has shifted into more of a demonic fae who can align with technology and metals to do his bidding. He's intelligent, clever and crafty, and happy to live out life from a young age; he keeps his metallic horns on display at all times and lets people assume them as weird rock accessories.
The ravishing crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own black king, and the former greatest torturer in the 13 Circles; where others corrupted toward insanity, Zoraida became a true and quantifiable demon, torturing those who truly deserved punishment (a rarity in the 13 Rings). She was exceptional at her job and swore instant fealty to Travers without compromise — before even knowing what she would be given in return. She is ancient, near 4,000 years since she died, and her perish was in an era where guilt was what most felt in death.
The cull crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own white queen. A woman who died centuries ago, perished without being able to save her family, and wrecked by the guilty of it. Now, she aims to protect and save the lands of her people — or what's left of them — and speak as an activist. Her role in the Ashakaze is to use their resources to save and expand on indigenous rights across the country and open more work for them; casinos, resorts, whatever else can be had.
The pointed crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own lavender queen. A former slave woman who died with too much pain in her heart, Isata is liberated from her own torments and now returned to Louisiana to try and empower and rinse the lands of the hurt of all the spirits who once were.
The growth crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own crimson queen. Dream does not discuss her time as a human (because dead life, dead name, and dead self means living a truth now never afforded before). Her goal on Earth is to right her own guilt, and ease the guilt of others whose lives are forced and reckoned with within borders and frames not their own.
The break crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own white king. Partnerd with Sani in her goals, Nils and she have similar goals on Earth, with different fires. As a human, Nils was taken down by the white man in battle, and his pride made it so he could never forgive himself. Now, he understands power, and the nature of imbalance, and aims to give balance to all; to even the fights, at all costs.
The silver crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own black rook. Roman, in his human life, actually worked for Herbert's father once upon a time. Now, he aims to use the still-lingering connections to build up a small and fortified family on Earth, to go back to the roots of it all: protecting the neighbors and saying fuck off to the cops. As the baby of the group, he's the one best adjusted to Earth as it is.
The reverse crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Traver's own black bishop. A 15th century shinobi trainee who fell in the Onin war. Jester latched onto Nico when they first landed on Earth, not quite a crush but close enough; they are family. Jester was corrupted enough that he does not remember his life on Earth at all, and learning is slow; he speaks carefully, with a harsh Japanese accent, and is on the spectrum but more time on Earth trying to re-learn humanity can keep him from the harm corruption gave his heart, at least.
The renegade crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own crimson king. Harry is a chain-smoking, sarcastic, rambling wise-ass who doesn't know when to quit. She didn't know how to in life, and she certainly has no intentions of learning now. An old New Yorker who was killed for dressing and acting like a dyke, Harry wants a chance to live out a life for herself that no one can take away now. She wants to run a bar in New York City, a real dive joint, and Travers is setting it up for her.
The siren crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own lavender king. Of all the shades that tried to fuck Travers, only Riann has gotten to, and it was a group thing so it barely counts — they both agree there. As the closest thing to a living nymph that a Shade can get, she is sex incarnate and uses it well, running a motorcycle club that offers protection to local joints and events.
The clever crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own crimson bishop. A few hundred years ago, Thorne passed away, slaving away underneath a very, very successful businessman whose family would go on to be a powerful money family in modern times, but lay indebted to the heta. Because of this, Travers was able to usurp some control from them and has used that to set Thorne up as a successful financial broker himself, playing the stock market and businesses like a master of the game because he is; his mind adapts to patterns and knowledge better than any other can and he gets to be the king now, at least among all the men who used to own his family.
The savage crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own lavender bishop. Sparrow runs the biker club with Riann, as the main enforcer and president, while she's VP of the organization. As a human, he had been a bank robber and crook whose guilt came from the people he'd injured in robberies so now, he aims to protect, and use his mighty, terrifying force for good.
The volant crown of Traver's Cardinal Court, Travers' own crimson rook. Going to school to study to be a lawyer right now (a goal he wants to take on properly, thoroughly, to make sure to litigate on behalf of the syndicate), Jericho is a determined, diligent type. A perfect rook: moving forward toward his goal.
