Height: 177425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmBE3YzNK7
Hair colour: Black425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZhHv96Ki2
Eye colour: Yellow425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM2IKAAlr6
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj3mzHAm6X
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3FwMk0pwa
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwMhJoPnQx
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFzwMpu8qF
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DNmqf9wDB
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5QdcIQgqk
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxZ1FxtyDW
importance lies elsewhere.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTtIPLWnlA
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5rQM6hyGj
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LV9LiF4Q0
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrZdnZa7Tc
scholars.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vBtvbqhfv
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvy7qqin7l
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GBxcQZwjd
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9dJwIIkzb
Hair colour: White425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW162b29Ye
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0TDksEOY4
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPpWpvopmJ
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwrg3tiv98
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRKVMPZKBb
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlAWjwKbdU
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx8u80gEuR
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACISypAG9F
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswMht0mEZl
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbFP5uWQBn
Hervies simply could not pass on it.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQPhmCzdGE
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy9qaYGev0
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwWY0tpQ5d
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49hYmUrRiq
are not his only strength.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ1Uczsh56
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3de5pR3Tv
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ2uHVvKBg
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TANkaXDXw
ever hope to have around.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3mtQj6R2O
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsgAQxiLpn
have been someone important prior to joining?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKchBOcPJf
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9iTB8r5lq
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhxB3B5WwZ
Hair colour: Red and Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRgY4SaiNJ
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgSewx403w
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVwQsr1PfK
those she serves with.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif5UA2u8OW
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMu4VfjNYD
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSBJ2SIDTn
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zwVNNTOQL
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhst9Ze0Mjx
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJAJ0owTBE
still surrounds her.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlUkYZVhg
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1N4wawma1
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi5S9oi8Db
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QTzKbhmEL
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBUtVfDFmR
to name it...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6jWcHX9jY
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsySzgmKLx
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADHtVdvl0M
them until they were heard from no more.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8FSkl2ree
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yX5CbZay1
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNZcS5Ugx8
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpZTQ0EyZ
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcCvfxL2Fo
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiriZlZ794
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q8nliEa0p
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Of3iP5N1
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt9YO2FupN
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu22ofzRshI
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQB5HWzA5e
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaotwnjyQ8
Hair colour: Pitch Black425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugOQxVhIfP
Eye colour: Green425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57lwISl3Do
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf44HjCmdyD
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz8lsuAvFg
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk5iW4rzJD
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwUZr9Cu2K
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bWNpvrfI2
and rundown houses.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0m5gJFeoA
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7XNpyTvsL
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8JfvkThH3
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUADTsTGKfQ
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoF1PMKi83
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3EBhA7tw7
Impossible, and yet it was true.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjEJTVHrWY
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTdaRR4As9
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOg5RIZIaH
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPrae42tv9
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQonPOfhEsP
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74BISoEdgv
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzgMbyN8zJ
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYk4pTBidP
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst0DSuZhg7
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm5MYfscd7
or something else of an uncanny nature.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t8b5wtfym
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEel3x1ATNm
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyvHer4pga
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrOhvA4nuF
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY6MSq4h51
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIQ1b2dGIA
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62BlIgSf1D
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13pOfpMIQS
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLpRzaeK7h
being produced since the last war.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16u2eenrzm
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9yJ9bZPgS
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKmuykaOQk
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVysVClx63J
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfEUzlsW45
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NvbBe5G7F
Hair colour: Golden425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmDXjPHZdH
Eye colour: Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTn0krcDWw
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQpcz6Gdkv
through.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnBGChWaRr
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHB7pWorLJ
stained with flowered scars.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXtwV3eXdM
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL0pEz4k70
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUeewMZnxR
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g2gMKEEoV
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe0OFwAaKW
as they get passed across mouth and land.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMZQ7OTOSG
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTSDTPJvoW
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ72HSqEMLL
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkrkaTfcnZ
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lNxPPXk9w
soldier’s orders.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDnrbh4AyP
And that is but the latest.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbHkkjPfQN
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKjUqzDcoH
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCdQVYyu9z
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHg9bSaUqA
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKke2svZoGt
to follow.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObDEgtauO4
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwdwIgUBdR
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfc8YWU1tN
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
