I've long since lost count of them by now.
Name: Uziel Kosak
Age: 49
Gender: Male
*Species: Nanodragon
Alignment: Good
Personality: Since his arrival on Carrotus from the nearby planet Kroy, Uziel has been a very personable, friendly creature. He is relatively talkative, but will listen to what others have to say, and he is very rarely rude, arrogant, or insulting to anyone else. It takes quite a lot to get Uziel riled up, and when he reaches a point where he feels that he is overly angered, he vents privately, where no one will find him.
Uziel only uses his physical and mental strength to help others, never to harm, and so during wartime he will calmly refuse to take up arms. He always finds something productive to do in the meantime, however, and he warmly welcomes his friends back from the battlefield.
Appearance: Despite the nanodragon moniker, neither Uziel nor his brother Jace are really that small; at 49 years old, roughly the equivalent of a Carrotan 18-year-old, Uziel is actually slightly taller than Lori Jackrabbit, the tallest of the famous trio. His scales are a silvery-blue, gradually fading to a deep blue at the tip of his thick tail, and a light, shining silver at the tip of his snout. His eyes are two different colours; his left eye is bluish-green, while his right eye is orange. He wears red armbands around his wrists, and a tear-shaped emerald is embedded into the scales on the nape of his neck, just underneath the base of his skull.
The exterior of Uziel’s wings match the shading of the scales on his body, and so they are almost invisible when folded onto his back. When they are unfolded, his wingspan is slightly greater than his total height, and he occasionally extends his wings while grounded to appear larger than he actually is.
Weapons: As was previously mentioned, Uziel refuses to fight, and so he does not carry or use a weapon.
Special Powers: Like some other species of dragons, nanodragons have the ability to breathe fire, and Uziel is no exception. Also, through extensive training with his brother, he has found that his scaly hide has become very difficult to pierce.

Name: Jace Kosak
Age: 41
Gender: Male
*Species: Nanodragon
Alignment: Good
Personality: Jace has the same peaceable, friendly disposition as his older brother, but not to the extent where he is a complete pacifist; he will fight if it is called for, but will take a less violent approach if there is one to be taken. As a result, he often finds himself mediating petty arguments between his friends, and a good portion of these arguments are solved peacefully thanks to his playing devil’s advocate. However, when he runs out of ideas, he does not hesitate to ask Uziel for a few thoughts to get his mind going again.
Appearance: Jace looks like a slightly smaller version of his brother, excepting that where Uziel’s scales are a gradient of silver and blue, Jace’s scales are one of silver and green. His eyes are both a fiery orange, and there is a tear-shaped sapphire, like his elder brother’s emerald, buried into the scales on his neck.
Unlike Uziel, Jace’s wings are rarely fully folded onto his back. They have the same silver-green pattern as his back, and are about as long from wingtip to wingtip as Jace is from head to foot.
Weapons: Jace uses his own body as a weapon, coupling quick, stinging punches from clawed fists with crushing blows from his heavy tail. He prefers not to be burdened with external weaponry.
Special Powers: The same training that strengthened Uziel’s scales to be comparable to steel armour has vastly improved Jace’s swiftness and agility, teaching him to use his wings to boost him in any direction he wants.

Name: Nix
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Alignment: None
Personality: Nix is cynical, existential, and voracious. He has no friends on Carrotus, or anywhere else, because he has alienated himself from them. He takes orders from no one, and sides with whoever’s winning. His outlook on life is bleak at best; he believes he is actually dead, and has been dead for eight years, killed by some unknown person, thing, or force, and is now serving penance for his sins in a sort of purgatory nightmare. Essentially, what is reality to everyone else is a torturous hallucination to Nix.
Appearance: Nix’s unhealthily gaunt body is covered in scruffy tan fur, and his pinpoint eyes have no colour in particular. He wears only frayed khaki jeans, which appear to be a few sizes too large for him due to his unnatural thinness.
Weapons: Nix carries and uses only two weapons. One seems underpowered at first, but is actually reasonably strong when put to use. The small, red flare gun Nix modified for short-range combat now takes small random-trajectory (drunk) rockets instead of flares, but functions in generally the same fashion despite its change in payload.
Nix’s other weapon, the Rocketgun, is considerably more fearsome. Attached to a large container of shrapnel rockets, this multi-barreled rocket launcher has the capability to launch up to a dozen drunk flak rockets at a time, albeit with a considerable loading interval, of course. At close range, the Rocketgun is devastation, but it also inflicts damage on its user due to the blast from the rockets; therefore, Nix uses it at a safe distance away to avoid injuring himself, at the sacrifice of a single, murderous deathblow.
Special Powers: None.
