The Shopkeepers!
Tea ShopCurrently nameless, this mysterious shopkeeper appears to be human physically. He is tall and slender with an almost elven build and face. His skin is pale and he has long, black hair that flows over his shoulders like spilled ink. His clothing tends to be Asian inspired but still practical enough to let him run his shop. He always has a small, thin smile on his face. His golden eyes are usually normal for a human, but sometimes he can be caught with eerily slitted pupils.

Skin ██ Eyes ██Tranquil AquariumNerio is a creature of the sea. His blue skin is almost rubbery and continues down to the numerous tentacles he has in place of legs. His long hair is slightly darker and swept back aside from a lock on either side of his face. His orange eyes are intense and he has pointed ears. He can wear pieces of bronze jewelry or small bits of armor. Feel free to try out added fins or markings.

Skin ██ Eyes ██Garden ParkMaricha is generally calm and tranquil, not easily provoked to anger. His upper half is human with bronze skin, blue hair, and violet eyes, and his lower half is that of a golden coated deer with silver spots and black hooves. He also has a pair of opalescent antlers on his head. He doesn't typically bother with clothing other than a short sarong around his waist and thin chains of jewelry draped through the points of his antlers. Bracelets are acceptable as well, but not necklaces. Typical expression is neutral or thoughtful.

Skin ██ Eyes ██ Hair ██Jungle SolariumAi Apaec is as wild as any jungle creature. His body is mostly human, but he has a set of fangs and fingernails that are pointed like claws. Sometimes he may even unfurl a set of black, feathered wings. His spiky hair is a dark red-orange and his eyes are warm grey. He doesn't wear much clothing, typically just a leopard pelt loincloth, but he likes to be adorned bits and baubles of gold, turquoise, lapis, malachite, and maybe a few brightly colored feathers. Look to ancient South American cultures for inspiration. Sometimes he may wear tiny skulls as earrings and either yellow or red face paint, not both at once. He is a cocky sort and while he doesn't like people to think so he isn't usually all that vicious. A crooked grin is his typical expression.

Skin ██ Eyes ██ Hair ██Science LabFlamel is also human, but he is certainly not ordinary. He is rather pale from staying inside all the time, has fairly short and very neat dark blue hair, and bright blue eyes. For clothing he covers himself almost completely in a pale mage's robe with blue accents. He has a pair of small, round reading glasses and is frequently seen carrying books and test tube vials. Other accessories can be anything that would help conceal bare skin like scarves or gloves. The only part of him that generally remains exposed is his face.

Skin ██ Eyes ██ Hair ██ Visitor's CenterMarco is just an ordinary human with tons of energy and passion. He has short-ish brown hair that tends to be a bit on the messy side and hazel eyes. He is almost always seen in his favorite pith hat and matching khaki shirt and pants. For accessories, think of your typical explorer, which he very much is. A bright and cheerful sort, he's typically got a big smile on his face.
