Deena Elgo
Height: 177432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ27l0UpSD
Hair colour: Black432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtQfZZXUX7
Eye colour: Yellow432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGdu4c5PmA
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNWoJZmt3Z
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjcXHFtXPX
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMLqSJlYVK
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PP8fLE4UO
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJob4tGNnV
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC6xII5Ff8
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLXfJdGNa5
importance lies elsewhere.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIENN3ovd2e
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbxxHC2j74
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FoCLsw7Tz
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaPYnQc5eD
scholars.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwn9OQTBWn
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDm6X3cUeB
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllbGtdOvSS
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXWphuRGXO
Hair colour: White432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0KmpCPpzV
Eye colour: Pale Blue432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjTWhRWbS1
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmYfiHBuOh
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07zIbSt9sp
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKguhw8UbRF
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHXCfXp3lT
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYvJNVPooI
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz2UDhuYVV
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSBZQqNVAR
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRVvpLThrr
Hervies simply could not pass on it.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcZQ0zhMss
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFmkkvywL
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxFLUhyY6P
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR6ONtIq2b
are not his only strength.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RD0SjmRje
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGL0hIKQ8U
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpjejktNkd
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJMi1fHypi
ever hope to have around.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDPHoYJWUH
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUlfHQWg5P
have been someone important prior to joining?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSqA3v9uXG
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF9SjsZOj5
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg5hauxzl7
Hair colour: Red and Blue432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMgN3TIsCW
Eye colour: Pale Blue432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNnA5upmpK
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSXssQQvtt
those she serves with.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpSQKwAeGj
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiCmzUdhfA
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHTKaWffTw
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF9Fa6v7eT
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVnayAyBJC
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ7h4FaHAi
still surrounds her.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjmdrEZ6PU
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1FH9907NA
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwRwFGhwaN
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzVI6V6XDa
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvmXb69dBe
to name it...432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqvArAG1T
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK642xLQXl
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoPQjfaRGp
them until they were heard from no more.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBzYs53Spt
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb3BFw6qlS
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKFnzCholl
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzyUIeb9MG
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W2maPRkcO
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcb3G6p6M5
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ924mfDWlAT
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdlkrgOw8O
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Iu2oHMxb
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ltbr679VR
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtYpDjaZZ3
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOLBCl6yzX
Hair colour: Pitch Black432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBXSW4AJSb
Eye colour: Green432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9MaRrCnGJ
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl65PdUXCJ
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhrznTGnk1
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwqFcD0LTO
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0x5DxLz2L
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L9xsVxqoM
and rundown houses.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd9ZEAyavb
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QNuZKD2c2
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xH9BsyU2T
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTnbGSg4qa
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7dhYYNn5r
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawAh0Bcz2x
Impossible, and yet it was true.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCg9hrwNdc
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlwk3VrFOD
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhIHBzLVGH
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFSnYsYyB7
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaq1NkGy35
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zMZAz042C
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfnrOYMhp9
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIHbLCiC8J
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo56BuaENuv
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxo3LUntEB
or something else of an uncanny nature.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXOQQGgyhO
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JIqajKBnX
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjGdPQpKUW
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJjQ3kvmEA
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkysBy1H2V
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysLLtDBNnz
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL25M9PIWBW
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdme89jhnYj
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh7OUbVgqt
being produced since the last war.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazZG03hO6u
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLZ2IGH8Wv
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEMBJEgcFR
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlFSGkbLqM
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnIY5b9qtm
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdc2lYdIIw
Hair colour: Golden432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYfId0PNnR
Eye colour: Blue432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo494j31cC
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSYmH07hyg
through.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypJSQDWvzO
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyvgOr7BRJ
stained with flowered scars.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU13lG1xMmj
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vcRAhPqow
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdogQQx7V1t
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERd6LeasgT
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3k7xxQiSf
as they get passed across mouth and land.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSU7zUyrTB
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sYVKaKIPO
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdZgNYggvQ
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDVAqdXqe3
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvzrMrgufT
soldier’s orders.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEIPN8QxLV
And that is but the latest.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFEfqslCPo
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C5MXvKAbt
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3x0jL64cz
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJkocrQgOF
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKkU5GUvH8
to follow.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c9QNUWPq9
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5QGgzSL0C
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibQB2HC2I5
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
