I can tell you a bit about Maeve's other coworkers, though, since they're NPCs actively in the campaign!!
Yves is a lawyer with a buzzy, insectoid voice and white hair and skin. They use kaomoji in all their business slack communications. They have a bad history of their lunch getting stolen from the breakroom and being very despondent about it (it's our party's rogue who keeps stealing it). We all want to protect them from ourselves. They tend to refer to themselves not with pronouns but "Yves thinks..." or "It is to be pleased..." instead of "I think/I am pleased". They're extremely helpful but the party kind of overwhelms them with their chaos, and they're not aggressive at all. They're always as helpful as they can be: "No... killing the journalists... would be bad. It is not to be a good idea." When it comes to conflict, they tend to like turn invisible or hide sadly in a corner, but they are very competent.
Pascal is here in Sidereal and he's a charmer who desperately wants everyone to like him!! And he really amps up the charisma to hide that insecurity. He's a bit sarcastic, tends to be very big and grand with his gestures. In tabletop, he tends to refer to the party as "beautiful people" and he can get really stressed out. He likes Maeve's rat photos/videos and they're kinda buds. They go to lunch together and know a bit about each other's We Did Street Crime histories. He tries to encourage Maeve to work on her self-affirmation, while simultaneously downplaying his own accomplishments: "Oh, me? I'm all flash, no substance." At one point in campaign while he, Yves, and the party were being held captive by some... coworkers... he brought out an icebreaker book and asked everyone what a difficult moment in their life was. "Oh, this is easy!" he said. "I'm having it RIGHT NOW!"
Ceciliano is a soft-spoken aasimar who's like really gentle and kind and within moments of meeting Maeve and realizing she was fucking stressed the fuck out, he tried to like touch her cheek gently and reassure her, but we all know how Maeve takes physical contact. He's easily stressed and tends to molt his feathers under duress. All his slack text tends to include a ":o" somewhere, and he's capable of gentle joking. He seems to get surprised when basic kindnesses are extended to him—such as when Maeve brought him coffee to his liking. Despite the fact that she does it pretty regularly now, he's always equally surprised and gracious about it. Maeve lowkey has a crush on him because he's so pretty and shiny and nice.
Vesper and Phosphor are her bosses. They're never seen separate from one another because they physically cannot separate. Vesper is a quiet, exhausted man. He's usually literally asleep at his desk when they go to see them, or else he's falling asleep. He speaks in a measured manner, but can make the occasional dry joke. Phosphor, on the other hand, is super peppy. Like, super peppy. She's older, grey-haired but chic, and she's the kind of person who says "Great! :)" and you can feel that it's not great at all and it's deeply threatening but in a relentlessly cheerful way. When she gets very angry, things tend to glow red. At one point, a party member started shaking a globe that contained the souls of ... ex-employees. Phosphor thought it was very funny and she told the party member to shake it again.
THAT'S ABOUT ALL I GOT, RHO. Thanks!!!! This post has been incredible so far!!
