Kickassery Inc.
Rhys Martinique
Rhys Martinique, known as Rice Hands, was a flamboyant faerie wizard, former performer, and beloved member of Kickassery Inc. Raised between street acrobatics and dangerous stage magic, he earned his name juggling scalding rice in a circus fire act before turning those same hands toward delicate illusioncraft and expressive spellwork. With ink-black tattoos, rose-colored beads, and striking pink wings, Rhys made rebellion look radiant. He was deeply bonded to Havyk as soulmate, mirror, and grounding force, and his death before the campaign still burns through the Pink Pony Girls’ story. Even gone, Rice Hands remains proof that grief can glitter.
Died permanently at Baron von Queef’s masquerade after a Fate Hag destroyed his mind and soul; his body aged and withered, and Power Word Heal could not restore him.
