Species || Moth Shrimp
Height || 6’Personality || Serious, Tired, Knowledgeable
Occupation || Resigned hitman, now works as a Paulmart cashierNyx is a hitman that resigned extremely early due to an injury in the field that left him in chronic pain. Pretty much no one knows about his past; now he works as a cashier at Paulmart, which is where he met and somehow fell in love with Sweetie.
He is generally paranoid about his past as a hitman being revealed, and regrets his decision to join Cutting Edge Forge. However, he knows that Darrow will most likely have him (and possibly Sweetie) killed if the truth about the company is revealed.Design by Wintertine

Sweetie
Gender || Female
Age || 27
Species || Candy Moth
Height || 5’7”Personality || Snotty, Self-centered, Cool-tempered
Occupation || NoneQuite the opposite of her name, Sweetie is a candy moth based on sour gummy worms; the white dots on her body resemble sour sugar particles. Her tongue is barbed and also has a piercing. Her fluffy worm tail has its own separate brain/personality, but Sweetie still has limited control over it.
She is a die-hard fan for the band Broken Bones, with the goth/rock persona influencing a lot of her character.
Despite her sour reputation, she can be sweet in private to those she loves (Nyx, mostly).Design by Wintertine

Muzo
Gender || Male
Age || 22
Species || Moth Shrimp
Height || 5’ 3”Personality || fun-loving, sweet, curious, stubborn
Occupation || noneMuzo was raised as an only child in a wealthy family and is currently residing with them. He always wears his favorite puff jacket no matter the weather. He loves the color gold, and loves to share his own gold with others (which his parents do not approve of). He is also vegan!
Even though he is quite extraverted, he doesn’t really get social cues and is generally too innocent to understand when he is not wanted or when someone is tricking him. Despite this, he is helpful when comforting others, and can still be somewhat competent when given a task.
First met Sweetie at an event for the Broken Bones, and now is happily spending his time with her and Nyx, although he doesn’t know the feeling isn’t mutual. He often will buy him and Sweetie tickets to their concerts and events, due to the large cost.Design by KatieKat107

Spice
Gender || Male
Age || 31
Species || Candy Moth
Height || 6’Personality || paranoid, mysterious, serious, determined
Occupation || Band member (guitarist/singer), hitmanThe guitarist and a singer for the Broken Bones band, Spice is an individual famous for his voice as well as his razor-toothed mouth which he rarely shows. Even though he is a stage star, he isn’t a huge fan of bright lights and crowds, but keeps at it because of his love of music and his friends. His tail has a mind of its own and he has little control over it.
Along with this, he works as a hitman for Cutting Edge Forge under the codename “Chili Pepper”. He started working for them in order to keep himself afloat while he, Harley, and Minx tried to get their band started, and hasn’t left since he and his bandmates get the benefit of protection against assassinations. He often gets scars and bruises while on the job, which he covers up with bandages and plays off as part of his band costume.Design by KatieKat107

Affiliations

He lives with Harley, and is quite thankful that she doesn’t inquire about his various cuts and bruises when he returns late at night. He is scared of her finding out about his job and telling someone, and is also scared that the company would “take care of her” if she did.
Because he and Harley live together, as well as Harley being very touchy and cuddly, they often get depicted as being in love by their fandom.

Occupation || Band member (drummer)A sweet girl who loves attention. She adores her fans and enjoys rocking out and creating music with the rest of her band. She is kind and unquestioning, usually leading to people using her. The speakers on her body sometimes hum tunes and can blast music if she holds a connected wire in her mouth.
She lives in an apartment with her bandmate Spice, who she often will see coming home with various scars and injuries. Although she wants to ask him about them, she refrains from doing so as she feels that it is none of her business what he gets up to during the night, and that if it was important or truly dangerous he would tell her.
