Delivery Teaser: Zane Etienam (Patreon)

Introducing Zane Etienam (Detective, Fairy Negotiator)

Zane’s last name means “Good Person,” which is appropriate given that they’re the only Delivery RO without a body count. The child of Nigerian immigrants, Zane is the eldest of five siblings and fits many of the firstborn stereotypes: they’re dutiful, protective, and cursed by a fairy.

This fairy curse (the result of nine-year-old Zane spying on a pixie party) left Zane sightless, their brown eyes transformed an unnatural gold. In an quirk of fate, however, their “cursed status” has been a boon in regards to their career of choice; fairies consider it rude bestow an additional curse on another’s fairy’s handiwork, akin to defacing another artist’s masterpiece. Thus, Zane’s rare immunity to fairy mischief makes them a perfect fit to lead the Garda’s Fae Crimes Division, and the most common fairy tactic of invisibility spells is rendered useless by a detective whom relies solely on their keen other senses.

You may find yourself drawn to Zane’s goodness given the moral bankruptcy of almost everyone else in Delivery. Unfortunately, when tasked with investigating the death of one of your clients, Zane’s primary suspect . . . is you.

Zane is Delivery’s third RO, and gender variable.
