Character list
Costuming Disclaimer: Costuming ideas will almost always refer to robes, and if you have robes, bring them! Robes are great! But if you don’t have real life robes, that is fine, dressing in the colours described will also work, and scarves are also wonderful for adding drapery and layers to a costume look!
Character Gender: Characters are offered in a masculine/feminine binary, but gender diversity has existed since the dawn of time, so we will have they/them pronoun (and blank pronoun) stickers to overlay on the badges for either name you choose.
