1) Because I have semblance ideas and this is my way of writing them down for future use. Yes, that's 7 ideas that haven't been fully developped yet. I'm also waiting on the ones at the top of the list before doing the ones further down - not everyone here is planned to be in Islium, christ. (Oh and I know it's your name, I just thought it fit really well with Glass. Nice ring to it and all. And, to be honest, since she's the last in line, she should be one of the best.)
2) Mauve: Great gal. Not just because Nathan's dating her, either. She's smart, sociable and has good morals, on top of having a very formal education for high-class thingies. A great team leader.
Ismael: He was weird af at the start, and he's still weird af. The only difference is that he's now sorta brosephs with Nathan and that Nathan actually understands him - most of the time, anyway.
Fortuna: Like Mauve, but self-taught and usually less of a diplomat about her opinions. Also great fun to have on the team. M + F = the girls who had to fix the boys' (bad) attire for special occasions.
Rusty: Seems like a good lad, but it literally hasn't even been half a day since Nathan learned of his existence. Enthusiastic for certain, albeit a bit more quiet when with others.
