Dylan

The cape is cornflower blue, floor-length, and falls loosely from the shoulders. It's made of a light but dense fabric, perhaps silk or fine wool infused with magic. The edges are carefully stitched with silver thread.

The shirt is crisp white, made of fine linen or cotton. It's loose-fitting, cuffs are cuffed, and the collar is slightly unbuttoned. The fabric looks crisp and pressed.

The trousers are white, straight-cut, and hold their shape well. The material is similar to linen, but with a touch of magical fibers—it doesn't wrinkle or stain.

The shoes are black, simple, and without unnecessary details. They look like leather shoes with a rounded toe and a mid-height. They're suitable for long walks and quick movements.

The jewelry is a thin necklace with a faceted amethyst in the center. The stone is dark purple, shimmering in the light. The frame is minimalist, made of silver metal. A dark-skinned guy with green eyes and short blond hair wears glasses.

He has fair skin and a side-swept hairstyle with dark blue eyes. He is 186 centimeters tall. Clothing description: Cloth Jacket with a hood

dense, made of coarse fabric (similar to waxed cotton or thick wool with a water-repellent impregnation);

dark color - almost black or dark gray, with faded areas and abrasions on the elbows and shoulders;

the hood is shallow, with an inner lining of softer fabric (possibly flannel or fleece)

fastened with leather laces or massive bone buttons;

The pockets are roomy, with flaps that fasten buttons or ties—they are convenient for hiding small tools, poisons, and lockpicks.

Shirt/undershirt

simple, linen or cotton, loose fit;

color - muted gray, dirty white or swamp green;

sleeves rolled up to the elbows;

The hem can be casually tucked into the trousers on one side only.

Trousers

black, made of durable fabric with leather patches on the knees and thighs;

the cut is loose, but with cuffs at the bottom so they don’t get in the way when running and jumping;

the belt is wide, leather, with many loops and hooks for pendants;

often belted with a cord or a thin belt with a simple buckle.

Shoes

brown boots, made of soft but durable leather;

the sole is thick, rubber or multi-layer leather - for silent movement;

high lacing, up to mid-calf, with metal eyelets;

The sole shows signs of wear, especially at the heel and outer edge.

Accessories and small parts

Leather fingerless gloves - protect your hands without interfering with dexterous movements;

belt set: small pouches, sheath, coil of rope, flask with poison-neutralizing compound;

a pendant or amulet on a cord - can be either a talisman or a hidden container for poison/powder;

Forearm bandages - made of the same fabric as the jacket, or leather; sometimes they conceal small hidden sheaths.

Key character traits Social isolation (hikikomori). Dylan consciously limits contact with others:

communicates dryly and only on business;

prefers correspondence in Pager (no more than once a day) to live communication;

spends most of his time at the computer and doesn't like being disturbed.

Logic and skepticism. Dylan's thinking is strictly rational:

he rejected any unusual explanations (including Lololoshka’s words) until he received irrefutable evidence;

looks for a rational grain and technical reasons in everything;

He even accepted the fact of his “automaton” origin calmly, due to the heightened skepticism inherent in it.

Intellectual and professional. Dylan is a talented programmer and computer systems architect:

works part-time in his specialty;

can pick locks (skill level 56);

has advanced technical skills (programs in Python);

able to modify its own settings (increased charisma after tampering with the code).

Curiosity. This trait sometimes overcomes his introversion:

interest in new things makes him take risks and participate in investigations;

ready to study complex systems and structures of the world, even if it is dangerous;

strives to develop and improve.

Moral flexibility. Dylan isn't overly concerned with moral standards:

willing to commit illegal acts to achieve goals;

uses technical capabilities to access other people's data (for example, students' phones).

Need for communication (hidden). Despite his isolation, Dylan still needs to connect with others:

The isolation in the program forced him to become more open and tactile;

Over time, he learned to discuss what was happening with Lololoshka;

In episode 89, he hugged Lololoshka for the first time—an important step for such a closed character.

Emotional vulnerability.

Mages cooperate with other guilds:

with traders - exchange artifacts for rare components;

with builders - enchant materials to strengthen structures;

with thieves - sometimes they are hired to obtain ancient scrolls;

with murderers - formally neutral, but avoid conflicts.

Guild Rules It is forbidden to use magic to directly violate the treaty between guilds.

All new spells and artifacts must be registered in the archives.

Mages are required to participate in maintaining Poena's protective barriers.

Experiments with unstable forms of magic are prohibited without the approval of the Council of Masters.

Guild members are obligated to keep the Academy's secrets and not disclose key knowledge to outsiders.

Chapter: Hat

Occupation: study and application of magic, creation of artifacts and spells, protection of the city, research of anomalies.

Territory: The Academy of Magic is a complex of tall towers, libraries, laboratories, and artifact storage facilities.

Symbol: a stylized image of an eye inside a magic circle (represents omniscience and control over magical powers).

Key Features Keepers of Knowledge:

collect and systematize ancient scrolls, books of spells and magical treatises;

study the laws of the universe, time paradoxes and portals between worlds.

Artifact creators:

make powerful amulets, enchanted items and protective charms;

develop spells for the needs of the city (lighting, protection, communication).

Defenders of Poena:

resist magical threats and anomalies.

Researchers:

experiment with new types of magic;

study the properties of rare materials and creatures.

Advisors and arbitrators:

Eo acts as a guarantor of balance between the guilds and monitors compliance with the general agreement.

Structure and hierarchy Archmage (Head): Eo - makes key decisions, coordinates research, represents the guild in inter-guild affairs.

Master magicians: specialists in specific areas (elemental magic, necromancy, spatial spells, etc.).

Adepts: students and assistants, perform routine tasks, learn from senior magicians.

Archivists: Responsible for the preservation of knowledge, cataloging scrolls and books.

Academy Guardians: Warrior mages who ensure the safety of the territory.

Features and unique characteristics Access to the Academy is strictly limited: only guild members and invited guests may enter.

Magic is the basis of Poena's economy and security: guilds depend on the services of mages (defense, communications, artifacts).

Eo does not directly intervene in guild conflicts, but can warn or stop those who disturb the balance.

The Academy keeps dangerous artifacts and knowledge under multi-layered protection to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

4. Thieves' Guild Chapter: The Serpent

Occupation: theft, espionage, smuggling, information gathering.

The area: Poena's slums, sewers, and back alleys are easy places to hide.

Peculiarities:

masters of stealth, acrobatics and hacking;

have the most extensive network of informants;

they can get anything from anywhere;

act more openly than murderers, but less cruelly;

compete with the Assassins' Guild for influence in the shadow world of Poena.

1. Spice Traders Guild Chapter: Naktir

Occupation: trade in exotic goods, spices, magical ingredients and artifacts.

Area: A bustling and colourful shopping area with many shops and markets.

Peculiarities:

the richest guild;

extensive connections with other worlds;

Dual membership. An extremely rare occurrence—only a few characters (like Kelon) have been members of two guilds simultaneously.

Features of interaction The killers are taciturn, rude and vengeful.

Their style of action resembles that of thieves (dexterity, stealth), but they are more cruel and withdrawn.

They can complete tasks for other guilds (for example, the quest from Grumrak "Greyhound Puppies": find a cute animal and give it to someone from the spice merchants' guild).

Main characteristics Status: the most dangerous and at the same time the smallest guild - they almost never accept newcomers.

Occupation: contract killings (quick and stealthy).

Guildmaster: Button

Symbol: hawk (because of this, the guild members are called "hawks").

Territory: "Dead City" - a gloomy area with an aggressive color scheme.

Unique races among the participants: goblins, undead (zombies, skeletons, etc.).

Currency: skint and gold bars (the latter are more valuable as they have value in other worlds).

Appearance and identification marks Uniform: Dark assassin robes with red accents, often with a hood and mask for concealment.

On clothes:

on the back there is an embroidered head of a white hawk;

Guild chest badge (divided into four parts, painted in black and red colors).

Mandatory wearing of the badge: gives permanent access to the guild territory.

Rules and restrictions A ban on murder in Poen. After the guild leader signs an agreement, members are forbidden from killing anyone within the city. However, this rule is circumvented by staging "accidents" and disguising the killings as such.

Joining a guild. To join, you need to:

have an audience with the head or a trusted person;

bring an offering (valuable resources) - for example, Lololoshka gave a chupacabra skin, which became a famous case.

Exclusive Guild Rules. In addition to the general laws of Poena, assassins have their own strict rules. Violating them is punishable by death or something even worse.

Access Restrictions: The Assassins allow almost no one into their district and often refuse to sell goods to those who are not guild members.

Cooperation with other guilds. There is a general cooperation agreement between all five guilds. The balance is fragile, maintained by Eo, a guarantor of compliance who does not belong to any guild.
