Height: 177425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElnMmtQAc0
Hair colour: Black425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Sm6i3AqI
Eye colour: Yellow425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFibh4PgLAm
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP463TwKmls
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjxl9PbzZs
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAVmjNTCsN
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzhCK6vlHF
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhxCoCo6YJ
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkE66TghY8
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPLuuiG8H
importance lies elsewhere.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUbD7CcuIn
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dS8PUHceF
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8jx7nfcQo
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhcPaT9bfx
scholars.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNmcnanepL
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOGVE3L0Ty
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF6KB8Bvyv
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xo2FYGXyC
Hair colour: White425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITVaCr6uBt
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p3jMpE7zr
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSS0SY5of7
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyasL3YmzR
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD8YlAQDeC
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdV4WOSoTx
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGtGoxuD9b
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGXD8dTaso
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOqiGotMA3
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBZbsJIUqe
Hervies simply could not pass on it.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR8IfQu0Id
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB4ux9ZRg6
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisLDlPyzgl
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpqqKkWKNP
are not his only strength.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHJbLVSVGQ
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaQqRU2XRs
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3W8tFVAoE
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPdlzsZsOS
ever hope to have around.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqG2XsZBTH
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKRYWJVotk
have been someone important prior to joining?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1lROwOfZu
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcriviwzKWN
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXnIQalIKi
Hair colour: Red and Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqGxpqcFvm
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpexu0w4SKp
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrWEubRYUV
those she serves with.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqQ6eTa8ph
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YYSiH1Rrd
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoUR7yrqTp
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZlwc1kWEc
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRjUWfuWGb
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91sJ3YIyFG
still surrounds her.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWXB8OZs0W
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvmLMvShXT
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2W0tUZDi6
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBEoGguuzj
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZgMnZu6UC
to name it...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWMZ1Kkwp3
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddxVJAkDlB
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoaGEWRmmm
them until they were heard from no more.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ2FuOCvmt
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV86sgzdkD
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9WDSwPBEw
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4409T28MTm
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWhJyqwoys
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFwTiJUNpG
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HMFGLmenw
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64MHxtnW0p
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sODGPE8nD
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyMYURXFwv
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmYesriqz7
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Height: 182425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivIFroETEI
Hair colour: Pitch Black425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphrjq3V362
Eye colour: Green425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36jejTvnWC
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU0eDnYCWP
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHMMEAnJcm
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnNAEzcQ2k
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8jsXghyhi
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRDex639yT
and rundown houses.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkj6taiU5m
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvvnFmYFsL
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f29xMFk3I
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoY3dqJt2E
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01ul94jh8N
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j2aLSqP7c
Impossible, and yet it was true.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPFzWyTFkd
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MbN1Zfab2
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uOgfGEEtx
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGX0tcmmY7
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZNTFS3E7X
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxvoyHiL9y
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUGaOku8So
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcKe5SFcdx
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fWzn7HtdO
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu3g1veWjD
or something else of an uncanny nature.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjVSdkI8gx
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeMv3n3on2
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr07vFVn87c
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqbo4QapNT
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihRZu1GTVa
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG4Xdtawzw
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnSsOgloRd
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSgHOU7nbW
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6syq5QpDn
being produced since the last war.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiWFMxBQux
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW9np9eZ2k
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPVgcm79K
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUed9p6DEAN
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImbwZXws12
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Height: 188425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeG5AIUTU6
Hair colour: Golden425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5KjQZxFkn
Eye colour: Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh00k19QAlK
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DbGKnZhuz
through.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBaggOSQ2A
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgf7kwojza
stained with flowered scars.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJUXKdH0Jn
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroVk8vn3wn
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjWsp6rYxS
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpbLbSwK74
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf55fRIxrjy
as they get passed across mouth and land.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPb812g2Hb
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KecnBoP6x
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyY5EBehQi
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKJHSPugYV
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0CMzyjeCx
soldier’s orders.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75a9JBWGIT
And that is but the latest.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3AliHi80R
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeeayVQrLk
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELbJIUH3So
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6u3GtFITo
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE79IjOcfIp
to follow.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoKsdqBAbR
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4AXWyyW6T
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8lbRhpO9B
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
