All things considered, I actually really like how well Carver turned out. And it was while drawing Carver that I realized I forgot to draw an orb on Kinou. And then forgot to give Carver a background but didn't feel it necessary to just dump a quickie one on him. Ah well.


Mister Carver Dureslo is the most common representative of the Family in the story, which is an interspecies version of the mafia. Basically all of the organized criminal organizations from all of the major factions combined together to coordinate their efforts. And based on the station's charter, so long as they don't break any laws on the station they won't be extradited. So a lot of the leads to the Family have made the station their de facto base and will frequently not even attempt to skirt any of the station's laws to not risk losing this safe haven. Carver stands at 6'4", 230lbs and is 58 years old at the start of the story. Carver isn't so much a gangster as he is a businessman that cares not for most established any rules.


He gained his reputation from arranging smuggling runs and skirting laws and laundering money. But one does not get to being one of the leads without a bit of ruthlessness. Carver is large enough that he can use his physical size for intimidation, but his main choice of weapon is financial. If someone stood in his way, he simply ruined them financially and surgically. However, once he arrived at the Station to carry out his duties for the Family where they're all located he has mellowed out quite a bit. Now he simply manages the finances of all of the Family and works more to endear the smaller members to him rather than bully them into compliance.


Carver is not very skilled at magic. He can at most light something on fire with Dis magic. And he is adequate at Con magic, rating at a C5. He has gone shooting in the past and has handled weapons but in a fight would much rather fight with his fists.
