Deena Elgo
Height: 177357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jLirldZsE
Hair colour: Black357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHdm8A9yOb
Eye colour: Yellow357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqi4RYyxdL
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzCMCjYmmq
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tOhTlFsjh
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4esct5cM2V
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwtGF0fqAo
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXfT4BXAII
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47oG5UuKTT
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmZ1nrkKhD
importance lies elsewhere.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X4lDFkq0p
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonFr6jaoCn
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR2vonIRGb
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfURnN059L
scholars.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaag8dUUPZk
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBGL0yEYR
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokFWOwefDa
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hLn6WaLzN
Hair colour: White357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzwfFbYuPQ
Eye colour: Pale Blue357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGljyRujDV
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoJ42C0rqx
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbKlPTbpzn
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43UdPQWc71
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJlOJMA0Xd
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHLPJRcDVc
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIM7C4cu3l
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtiiVwh36H
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY2KL3xQ3Z
Hervies simply could not pass on it.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl28J4ENUX
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLEWbwnXZ6
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiZBlp08WK
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ1AGZQX7I
are not his only strength.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQJGXNPjXp
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuSxEl1onJ
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QqVHa1poR
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4xlRtGXcx
ever hope to have around.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHVfyCRD3X
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzIHUdeYJM
have been someone important prior to joining?357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxFa5NYW4J
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKxcCdDPFS
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWVGRCBT96
Hair colour: Red and Blue357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglApnWW5RS
Eye colour: Pale Blue357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip8n1dnnMV
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiPKYmhRzV
those she serves with.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Y7ShDeAN
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7OuegBz3v
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡverUEvIsXC
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMMSEghldL
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM3SgoaODP
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO5rAAPKNN
still surrounds her.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNBtuX2Cwg
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ49sRoogx7
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6YJ940tIf
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaApIEmLpu
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdOqVqnHT
to name it...357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJysoqDeis
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9LgmnXjFR
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IbcK4edxH
them until they were heard from no more.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5cG26AsU0
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSrqTdVM0S
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUqHkRqncZ
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KSXRHIFQu
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ8pkjKWeH
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDNsoiTCI9
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJDIajAH2U
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYpjFpS9Yy
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk1a5EUzAK
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK62Xy6BRc0
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDEvq9UsoV
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEaZaw2PPh
Hair colour: Pitch Black357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAF4Bfhs2n
Eye colour: Green357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFohm8zIlo
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGSAWHTktY
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4pJKOnKor
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCKUq4yaIt
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHMx1Kk7g4
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCdrXFLnnw
and rundown houses.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2KQGeYyp6
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpk2yD0uSC
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTyfjkwrpi
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT7br62LW8
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c1JbL7ZWv
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zbWbokJxN
Impossible, and yet it was true.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLZtmOEmV9
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07F3H0u4cD
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVTPnJPm9f
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNGF582k9E
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu7Pit499B
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNyGSA0abh
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziutxe8xcM
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpuIYgumYw
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxUz7wBT3i
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QiQn0un5h
or something else of an uncanny nature.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWiRJCvasR
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBaqgttTcU
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzBQBsZ1X7
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlavsL3mXHD
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRrGKryzaR
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1CNVHZ39Z
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36tLzaTEXf
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVoZ2WVj0W
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsPGbOXUaG
being produced since the last war.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDcVaaSdHk
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BfTXu9l3w
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHeEbFeiQp
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1vUPL3dLh
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmPMDHzlIK
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Height: 188357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cva5iZH45
Hair colour: Golden357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOja7Pz66ZT
Eye colour: Blue357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqr83iyS6I
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngfcy9iQ0U
through.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkL9BvfOwF
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY95nBYzSB
stained with flowered scars.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBDADZWjjO
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DzIh4Je0R
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFmNLBnqlI
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmIlm9ch61
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1wSUTUzsh
as they get passed across mouth and land.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jqdPFXGZJ
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBljdAlu5Kg
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhv1EMdRjF
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY2BeBZUxs
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftMbgtMCz3
soldier’s orders.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAi3kAbFd
And that is but the latest.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SmL2hYdBR
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpUYwj4Wc3
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb9rV1wwUB
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SADIqCcqp
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97mPgWLkra
to follow.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxihBzdnRu
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lGBa7f11K
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W0LCSecrf
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
