I've gotten good at leaning on metaphors
I've gotten good at living on someone else's page
Asherah and Barbeau inherited a dying world and in the ashes of that they built an empire. They run a gang that is referred to simply as the gang; there have no organized competition within Bois and so there's no need for a fancy title. Asherah is frequently assumed to be the leader of the gang as he's loud, charismatic and merciless but it's Barbeau that actually leads the group. For safety, Ashe is left to be mistook as the figurehead. Bay is definitely the quieter, sturdier sibling; he mostly keeps to himself, and a large chunk of people who interact with the gang have only ever seen him in passing. He is close to the actual gang members but dislikes crowds and loud noises and so doesn't usually eat or hang out with most of them. They all regard him with open affection, for he's extremely reliable and when he promises something he never bows out on it. Nobody can quite figure out how Ashe turned out the way he did when Bay is so obviously uncomfortable around loud people but he only ever sighs when Ashe gets too loud and the other boy quiets subconsciously. They are obviously close, even if they are also obviously very different people.
Ashe and Bay are not saliros, they just happened to both be immune to the virus. The rest of their family did not fare as nicely. The apocalypse started 16 years ago so the twins remember very little of 'normal life'. All they really know is the deserted Bois, the one with the treasure hunters and slavers and worldjumpers. Bay keeps around the gang's locations and safe houses as he really has a lot of work to do, and Faraday usually sticks with him when Ashe is off making a mess somewhere. The three of them found each other as children and have been very close ever since; Faraday is their best friend, right-hand man and sister all in one. Bay is tactful but willing to make hard decisions; he's better at compartmentalizing and turning off his emotions when he needs to be brutal. Nagi is a delicate, lovely thing always at his side, ethereal, quiet, polite when he does speak. In private Nagi is quite a bit different; he's often the one telling Bay the facts, laying out the brutal things they must do to protect their people. While everybody assumes that Bay is a bad shot because he's rarely carrying weaponry and is so admittedly bookish, he's actually a better shot than Ashe, who is famed among the gang. He just dislikes guns and so rarely shoots.
