when i say "we" from now on i usually mean the folks medya and i have fallen in with so just to recap all in one place here's the list
spark is a forged raised by monks
relic is a forged raised by different monks (is this a thing?)
bell is a forged who is styled like a dragon and is good with repairs
zer'atæsh is a kalashtar (a human with an extra soul) who does "psionics" (magic but not?)
anyhow they're all bipedal and taller than me
