Salamaria, or Sal, is a fictional species of Weasel.

Hailing from a dry desert planet, she'd spent her childhood working alongside her father on their families farm. They farmed a fictional crop that lets off a fine dust, known to cause damage to your lungs. Unable to afford protective gear, her father worked without it and eventually fell ill. Following his death, Sals mother fell into a deep depression, eventually leading to her suicide.

Now completely alone, with no way to fend for herself, a 17 year old Sal was forced into a life of crime. Thievery, prostitution, drug runs, all under the careful watch of a crime boss, a harpy eagle named Sasha.

With encouragement from her last living blood relative, a cousin, Sal makes her escape on a hijacked ship to a nearby moon. Here, she is reunited with an old family friend, Tyoma. Tyoma makes a promise to Wyatt, Sal's late father and his late brother-in-arms, to protect Sal. He raises her as her own, and when she's old enough, Sal sets her mind on the idea of bringing down Sasha, the man who had tainted the last remaining years of her childhood...

Putting together a crew of herself, Tyoma, and others wronged by Sashas secretive reign over the galaxy, she sets out on a grand adventure spanning many years! In which the crew endures many wins, and many losses. With the fall of Sasha, and the death of her father figure Tyoma, Sal spends her life wandering the galaxy with her lover, Amani...

Extras

- Sasha, then called Eviscero, was originally going to be a woman. I decided the evil he does more suited a man

- I made Sal when I was 13, almost 5 years ago

- Sal has a yearly shed, where her white winter coat grows in

- Tyomas design was originally my girlfriends selfsona

Tyoma is a snow Leopard. At the start of the story, he's in his 40s, and he's in his 50's by the time he dies. He's Sals father figure throughout the story, motivated by a promise to her father (his best friend and brother in arms.) He's a mechanic working from a near-deserted moon, and serves as the main mechanic of the crew, a skill he passes down to Sal. Despite his war-time PTSD, he is a very cheerful and optimistic person. That's where he and Sal differ.

He grew up on a planet that worship numerous gods, with the main gods being the Sun goddess and the fertility goddess. They find procreation to be beautiful, and they heavily regard healthy family dynamics, so it's common to have huge families of countless cousins and uncles. Tyoma left because of a yearning for a more adventurous life, but he visits his home many many times throughout the story.

He's bpth Sal's father figure and her antithesis, contrasting her pessimistic and grumpy nature with his very contagious joyous nature. He's also a father figure for the youngest members on the crew, Amir (12-22) and Emiliano (14-24). I've made a lot of characters for this universe, but like Sal, Tyomas always been a constant in it. The story wouldn't be the same without him.
