Name: ishmael

Height: 5'7

Personality: ishmael is a a calm, level-headed Sinner with an expectation for sound and reasonable judgement. She considers herself to be one of the more sensible members of the team, and is often one to sigh or scoff at the foolishness of those around her. This tendency for being critical extends to her superiors, as Ishmael is the type to prioritize rationality above formalities. Generally, Ishmael does well to back up her somewhat haughty attitude with competence, making a consistent effort to stay informed on the current mission and the right course of action. She is also portrayed as an overall intelligent individual with a staunch, reliable nature. Regardless of her aptitude, however, Ishmael's quips tend to lean into antagonism, sparking arguments with those who rise to her provocations.

While Ishmael is something of a doubtful and antisocial person, she's also shown to be willing to build on her relationships.

Appearance: Ishmael is a woman of average build with a fair complexion and wavy, fluffy and voluminous knee-length orange hair, and she wears a thick headband woven out of rope with white ribbons on either end, a memento of Queequeg. She has hazel-colored eyes, at times appearing yellowish or orange, with sharp eyelashes and thin eyebrows, and a number of freckles across her nose and cheeks. Outis describes her hands as "coarse and rough".

Ishmael wears the standard Limbus Company uniform, although her coat that is torn at the waist, cutting off the last two letters of her name. Her employee ID is pinned to the coat's right breast.

Her weapon of choice is a flanged black mace made of numerous, vertical white stripes arranged radially, and she carries a circular shield with three bands across the face, branded with the word "HEARSE".

Backstory: Ishmael was originally a desk worker for U Corp.'s Nest, in Marlin Port, having studied and struggled for a long time in order to find a stable job as a member of a Wing. The job left Ishmael unsatisfied and depressed, yearning for a great change in her life, which led her to quit and find a new place to start, with the thought on her mind that she would've liked to die near a body of water. That was when Ishmael met Ahab: she became deeply fascinated by the Captain's resolve and confidence, and decided to join her Whaling crew, obtaining a Grade 9 Fixer license. In her time at sea, Ishmael became familiar with the Great Lake, its environment and rules. During the Pequod's hunt for the Pallid Whale, one of the five Calamities of the Lake, Ishmael worked as a sailor and a harpooner, with her duties ranging from oil-bucketing to active combat. Atop the Pequod, Ishmael grew close to the crew, and all of them, strongly inspired by Ahab's words and trusting in their ability to hunt the Whale, started planning for their future once the voyage was over. However, their wishes would not come to pass: around three years before joining the limbus company, the Pequod was attacked by the Pallid Whale and sunk with most of its crew. Only Ishmael, who managed to hang on to the coffin Queequeg had built for herself, survived, staying afloat until the Whale disappeared in the depths of the Lake once more. After the wreckage, Ishmael would spend the next three years working as a Fixer, taking odd jobs that involved Outskirts and Ruins exploration, with the final goal of one day finding Ahab, whom she believed to have survived the attack, and killing her. Some time before January 984, Ishmael would sign a contract with Limbus Company, and go on to join the LCB crew as Sinner #8. Ishmael adapted quickly to the work of Limbus Company, her combat capability and previous expertise with Fixer work and dealing with firms proving useful to the LCB in several occasions.

Additional characters:

Charon is a short girl with grayish skin. Her droopy eyes are of a similar gray color and tend to have a vacant, emotionless look. Charon has silver hair with bangs and that covers her ears; in the back, it is tied into two thin, floor-length twintails. Charon is a laconic, quiet individual whose few words are blunt and brief. Charon simply seems to be in her own world, and repeatedly proves that she is neither shy nor scared of the Sinners. Similarly to Vergilius, Charon stays disconnected from the group and shows no interest in becoming close with them.

Vergilius is a jaded and straightforward individual with a sharp tongue. He is emotionally detached from most of the group, viewing them as a group of unruly children he has to watch over. He keeps his distance from them, and has no qualms with threatening Sinners with extreme violence or using it to discipline them. Despite his cold behavior towards the Sinners, Vergilius seems to push people away and put up a cruel and uncaring front, in order to avoid getting closer to his colleagues again, as in Vergilius' past, this has happened before quite recently, with him losing his office and the orphanage kids he cared for at the hands of the Ring. Even so, he has a soft spot for Charon, and he seemingly considers Dante as some sort of confidant, even if he has no outer regard for Dante's struggles.

Queequeg is a well-built, muscular woman with dark complexion. She has dark brown hair worn in thick braids that reach down to her chest, and that she decorates with golden cuffs. Her most notable feature is the tattoo enhancements from the Middle, broken up by extensive, self-inflicted scarring visible across her entire upper body and head. Queequeg wears a sleeveless, mud-green shirt underneath a heavy gray vest and thick green pants tucked into boots, as well as two golden bands around her upper arms. As a harpooneer, she also has thick brown ropes tied around her upper and lower arms, midsection, waist, right calf and left ankle. These ropes are also used to securely tie a short harpoon to her left forearm. Queequeg is a quiet and slow-talking woman with a generally blunt and stoic way of thinking. Queequeg carries heavy guilt over her actions during her old life as a member of the Middle, and is so strongly driven in her will to remove this stain in her past that she is willing to go to any length to find atonement, harming herself with the goal of removing the mark of the Syndicate and devoting herself completely to her work as a harpooneer for Ahab's crew. In her time on The Pequod, Queequeg grew to greatly value her crewmates, and particularly treasuring her bond with Ishmael, with the two dreaming of starting a new life together after the end of the voyage. Her devotion to Ahab would never falter after the destruction of the ship, with Queequeg believing Ahab's claim that at the end of the voyage "everything would come to be", and hoping to one day see the surface, as well as Ishmael, for a last time. She has since died

Ahab is a tall elderly woman with curly, mid-thigh length greying hair. Like her namesake, she has a black-and-gold peg leg starting from her left knee. She wears a green captain's jacket over an untucked button shirt and darker green pants, one leg of which is tucked into the prosthetic, a crooked captain's hat, white gloves and a thin belt around her midsection. On her back is a harpoon around her height with a narrow, transparent cylinder behind the tip and a loop at the other end. This cylinder contains a small flame, the intensity of which varies. Ahab's most defining feature is her extreme and single-minded desire to hunt the Pallid Whale, with little regard for anything else. Initially, she appears to be highly charismatic, bringing in and unifying individuals from all walks of life for the goal of hunting the Calamity. However, she is highly manipulative, egocentric and selfish, seeing her crew as nothing but a means to an end. Even pre-Pallidifcation, she kept an extremely tight hold on her crew, and later admitted that she cared not about their reasons or desires, believing that they should've devoted themselves to her cause the instant they set foot on The Pequod. Her end-justifies-the-mean mindset leads her to make extreme sacrifices, decimating her crew on their voyage to the Whale's heart without a second thought, seeing her leading the crew to their deaths as sending them to greatness.

Locations:

The limbus company bus known as Mephistopheles is a rectangular, four-wheeled bus with barred windows and low fenders. The front resembles a steam locomotive's smokebox, possessing a chimney, semicircular windshield and a cowcatcher-esque bumper. Mephistopheles also possesses a hidden shredder on its side to facilitate Enkephalin extraction.

Limbus Company's personal branding are written on the side of the vehicle in all caps, whereas only "LIMBUS" is written on the front. Mephistopheles is primarily coloured red and dark gray, with silver, wavelike accents in various locations across the bus.

The interior of Mephistopheles is wide and possesses red seating (apparently with no seatbelts) and handrails/grab handles for the Sinners. The driver's cab is located on the left, decorated with various items by Charon.

Mephistopheles has a ornate doorway on its rear. Beyond it is the Backdoor, a straight, softly lit corridor with red-and-gold carpeting and wooden doors to the Sinner's rooms on each side. Gold stanchions and velvet ropes block off all but the first 8 doors; with further areas devolving into a complex system of other corridors and crossroads.
