Bugshido is a collaborative world created with my friends. Inspired by the amazing works of White Mantis, the world is inhabited by anthro insect citizens. There are dead gods, forbidden magics, imperial subterfuge, and a traveling caravan of unlikely heroes looking to save their homes.

Lita the firefly is Gaius's childhood friend. Like him, she left their farming village to seek her fortune as a tinkerer and forge-worker. Unfortunately, that didn't work out and the innocent girl was left destitute. She turned to questionable dealers in the red light pleasure district as an act of desperation, but was rescued last-minute by the dumb luck of Gaius Caster. Now she travels with his caravan as their gun-expert and fixit-crew.
