Hair colour: Black418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQzz4L3TOW
Eye colour: Yellow418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oqJZwTqCL
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7HWyQhqnL
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Yg6Ti94P
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVrHEQcbw
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UShpfth7F
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk1kLXM9Xw
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LdHJQI5Yu
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg1ccPZ4qI
importance lies elsewhere.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yMqbsGjUE
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIcuFXrCFF
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCLqD0UCC4
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DTg4fttq1
scholars.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRa04dxOsW
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LpRyIuzcO
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs8BfwjbGr
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnOUq0u9vj
Hair colour: White418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27jNMBowcX
Eye colour: Pale Blue418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehlMptGmL9
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWIB4W2uK2
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gh70TcCRP
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9djW9L28r
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJomQpeWARw
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHi1tFueXJ
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujaxjQUaGU
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXzUHRTktd
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLbALL1jG0
Hervies simply could not pass on it.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaErjctKgo
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWuAdLoQWP
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYveBKtNEI
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DBxxCGrkt
are not his only strength.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBftJKUsqlV
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPZKplNy1I
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifSfJ0vo4U
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkLEqvGHVb
ever hope to have around.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVubwPg4mpJ
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhvk7oGvUK
have been someone important prior to joining?418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJrOXLKQh5
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pCszmcm4i
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI78tf10kz
Hair colour: Red and Blue418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3n7ECwV8X
Eye colour: Pale Blue418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWQJ395l3U
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs0LDhRICr
those she serves with.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4T2WPx5GT
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl3BTAZtBo
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOjHqyCXpc
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGOEsOB3XY
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhnLbSkEej
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy5BnU02YP
still surrounds her.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc8HyeURCO
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z6mEi03so
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11n2zZUD8r
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4C4jDWwY8
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztOUkb2VH5
to name it...418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbky21U8z4W
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCFqzvRjQV
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F0wleCPVm
them until they were heard from no more.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMg4tUFewu
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprsqlYBQUT
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUOurViiOi
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGkrcky7z7
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr0fH8RpMC
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7YoXRmy0v
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt97deKZPp6
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9u4TThIDB
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2EgDwjDZj
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppWN86c5uh
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2dMLcWjbS
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Hair colour: Pitch Black418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANQClUUAvy
Eye colour: Green418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtinQ4utwM
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEDO5e9iOq
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pAOBvEqJF
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZxKkJGHiA
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDRD0W0Miy
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifma7AaUJb
and rundown houses.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3YlEalWJi
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs89QJj7BI
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJHxRlCbmG
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjWVj4S2pB
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh076xbScx
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVlhzWiytd
Impossible, and yet it was true.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzDy5xnCXw
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ0u0a5Imp
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKoIkkj2sg
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyRPZBQnOZ
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIRwh7eijp
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm6fvGo1ZJ
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWTWqN4zq2
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiGLrR0fa6
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw3Uvpufzf
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAh2Mdo8NO
or something else of an uncanny nature.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyJUHaatif
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeNDYZTqVC
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOWky1ieLZ
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2TtAZcPpL
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFJ0bEPp2r
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc2oJ5VqNw
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJALDYKsTG
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ8D6XBmXE
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtKiMRshZf
being produced since the last war.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYxCbDIy5h
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGj9zxj5rD
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qOJowCn7w
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBHNhAOw15
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP4pS8pWtx
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Hair colour: Golden418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnzGnEFyIT
Eye colour: Blue418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDEgiGxDFg
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK7uSikV1Q
through.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEk7MbVNy4
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yeOYhFHtf
stained with flowered scars.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DbTpL6Hdg
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBOGOEkQsV
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBBzXylc65
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wrlAeLCx4
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GGWUIwYfS
as they get passed across mouth and land.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMigcMQAo8E
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcoQHLn4Yq
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX6ITtn9fF
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboLZSsgdl4
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N8BSBX3O6
soldier’s orders.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhKtdyNAQP
And that is but the latest.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgN4qz9xqV
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdyUqsTrZ3
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseTOWktE9r
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmMEsZzUry
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqMFT2X1rk
to follow.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V7814Cju4
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA83SQW9wd
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc3ZDjhOlJ
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
