No tails, no horns, no claws, no sharp teeth. Tiny clothing, rounded ears, bright blue eyes.

Along with my band of… misfits (I’m trying to be nice here), including a firestarter who seems to excel at burning the clothes off others (I’m never going to complain about a naked August), an excitable assassin who really needs to start asking before he shoots, and an illusionist who is disgustingly normal, we’re going to save the world.

Oh, and he's also half-monster.
