Hair colour: Black416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMryx3vUrP
Eye colour: Yellow416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj6cP2ieJy
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dwOEQiCTL
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWFwLEL885
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqLIlm0z5M
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3BB1U2oIr
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElA1ZAyGke
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tnx5SSZCR
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7knuZxFhW
importance lies elsewhere.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgUUb5rVM
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mijjCpNcx
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqymfO6Iftk
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ZQLRsQSr
scholars.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdnmu8g4Bd
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIrzA8N74v
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yvq8htlUn
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjnbqPZKb3
Hair colour: White416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDaHFwsHY9
Eye colour: Pale Blue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxJfvbglJr
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wCvd6TVpr
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkfwu2ow9M
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoas8dzQ2G
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ImQ16VmGf
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnhhHVNPa1
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKhAuf0mNd
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenl1HQuTmS
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKAVbnyWen
Hervies simply could not pass on it.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfvNhkdzVL
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUnB2P4yvY
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bk8scWfoW
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFT6eZtuQ
are not his only strength.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJlzQf0vYR
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUNGJ1e3Db
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHefJqZyXg
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jKiGVK59Z
ever hope to have around.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJXWlfXyAH
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqePcunrV9
have been someone important prior to joining?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifdKXJwWQB
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej9N78tU9p
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOA0HfhPEG
Hair colour: Red and Blue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tntFyqApf
Eye colour: Pale Blue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6679yhRDj
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXe41o0ccK
those she serves with.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVvzkCsa4H
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpJMa05ptH
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PW7Bsjjuw
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDTQGetrSA
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtmdxULiq2
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHF9RR3gp3
still surrounds her.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtbGQaDV4I
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdkGDejVJu
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuQ1gVqq1Q
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHAvyISsMS
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzC5TkZEPW
to name it...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCynKWY0CRg
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpN0qbvb0r
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwCFCD5YrZ
them until they were heard from no more.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N6F8FyzNa
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2YFS3Er4M
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjYHwyQDI6
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs2QB9MLNX
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaHNkZLKyq
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp7cNxd5eV
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO4lTjaMSi
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw8tP3UUUm
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKYcuU8fMQ
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTETwzRzsz
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfKEldMiNQ
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Height: 182416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7MqHwoMBR
Hair colour: Pitch Black416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRilbhEqWC
Eye colour: Green416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY7WqzdMHW
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsDW0KQEbl
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChqH7uGRo0
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjrU2dUy39
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89EuVu0QNC
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0rxd8pUXy
and rundown houses.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXSHxrdwnD
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrr99AbuRn
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetQnEc5Vhz
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fszRbKCmH
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZDpabpRGK
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxD7aEOFp0
Impossible, and yet it was true.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1CxFK12Pp
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIf414KXIf
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCv7hIp2kJ
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM5Ar1DwpX
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPylzDJmsx
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy7tewP4gr
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQfXE9i1f8
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ua3U39YRR
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o0U7vDWIs
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6bauRcMsw
or something else of an uncanny nature.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEBcQSH7bB
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIVZBH5O6R
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRDtCjNiFF
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkymEQHXqes
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVcXRu0OHp
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHsg8wcQOc
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8iYqHPkqb
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATPqANlEQK
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGbqNTIhkz
being produced since the last war.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu92hkO4w6u
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyTIcmmCXU
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14oDTFjRDl
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuUNaAHIqp
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo5f9yOLSP
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Height: 188416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllJOCMDoY4
Hair colour: Golden416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8tgCx6QHv
Eye colour: Blue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmCEXyUQNf
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqL6ean6Jk
through.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTlx36dgjS
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXDqZ7AcBA
stained with flowered scars.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTokPA2nMee
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmazcopGXr
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ZNa49ZCX
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblUvSjFM4W
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYKWn0VM2G
as they get passed across mouth and land.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phmLwUOOJ
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoujkH1TpT
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlwtpOLV86
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM6LSTrMFu
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24KiX8Gury
soldier’s orders.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlPB51zqc3
And that is but the latest.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGKLMxwpu2
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoVhPHulSJ
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadH37qkPuR
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S5lQuwqVp
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIJpCG9lnt
to follow.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡympSMzoDme
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoRHkZcZhp
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU45GyBRNk
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
