4	A wealthy treasure hunter and highly decorated adventurer, Derek Saline, is offering the chance to join his expedition to retrieve a sample of a legendary crystal that is said to grant anything your heart desires.
5
6	The only catch? Derek gives an all-knowing smirk when he asserts that there's only enough of this rare specimen for one person to fulfill their dreams. Thus, you will have to compete against other individual agents, who all wish to lay their hands on this crystal.

8	''What are you willing to endure, so that you may have the power to fulfill your heart's desire?''

55	[[folder:Character Tropes]]
56	* AdaptiveAbility: Yaxa.
57	* AlienBlood: Texis and Xoee. Texis is an alien and their blood is a pale pink color, Xoee is an interdimensional creature whose blood is dark blue.
58	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Inverted with Texis who cannot speak English and uses a UniversalTranslator; though it only goes one way...making them appear as a SpeechImpairedAnimal to others.
59	* AnotherDimension: Xoee, who quite literally came from another dimension. And is still dealing with the consequences.
60	* AnimalLover: As the expedition's resident animal expert, Bee is this in spades.
61	* ArtificialLimbs: Clokk, Graf, and Jack all have at least one artificial limb.
62	* BadassBookworm: Bee.
63	* BrainsAndBrawn: Applies to many pairs.
64	* CatGirl: Claire.
65	* CombatPragmatist: Could apply to several competitors.
66	* CoolMask: Kin and Yaxa. Sadly for Yaxa, the mask is also its AchillesHeel.
67	* CursedItem: Yaxa's totem is this.
68	* FamousAncestor: Bee's Grandfather was a beloved television personality and fellow wildlife expert.
69	* ForcedTransformation: Wormy, who was originally a regular bat, got cursed by Costache's father and he can now transform into a human form.
70	* GrumpyOldMan: Boomer.
71	* {{Hallucinations}}: Many of the characters experience these, and unfortunately for them, it's not the helpful variety. Yaxa is implied to fall into this.
72	* HandicappedBadass: Beatrice Bright.
73	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Artturi carries several demons with him.

78	* MixAndMatchCritters: As Permafrost is a griffin, she is prominently a mixture of two creatures.
79	* MonsterMouth: Graf's neck has a slit starting from the base of his mouth. Guess what it can do.
80	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Ace.
81	* NonHumanNonBinary: Texis and Zee identify as non-binary and go by he/they pronouns.
82	** Bane and Yaxa are both referred to with it/its pronouns. Coupled with their PoisonousPerson and SuperPersistentPredator tendencies, respectively, this also is an example of ItIsDehumanising.
