Deena Elgo
Height: 177382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdC5eLQLhl
Hair colour: Black382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvxFxz57Qc
Eye colour: Yellow382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf9IlICubN
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3nM11WUJd
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl8uAIHOFI
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQOiMnMRGk
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgEVQy1LFY
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJutpXglCBF
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FioqI9kW1
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhI07hSVXF
importance lies elsewhere.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFoziyWpuW
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSUl5D6Qwd
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF796Q0mh6n
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV3fD4drnP
scholars.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7RT7kBjc6
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgEO5YufS5
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqoAJw96y9
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLmxsqPklA
Hair colour: White382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ029UWIBxQk
Eye colour: Pale Blue382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09mwnPj5LE
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WoGsJyQtb
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZqFZBsNJ4
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua2Vbxbm65
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiPPNGwdE5
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo87OmuGkA
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXNJ2B0siY
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyXQoPgGTq
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLk3nj9BtX
Hervies simply could not pass on it.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVvIuYTzY6
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuznGBLcXZ
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R4spTSFX4
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4zNbRDXd3
are not his only strength.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCYgfS7Uee
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ267jLRZbKO
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWEOPAM55A
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvTMwo1ujB
ever hope to have around.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGbDOZmCkE
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvMMAiMVOs
have been someone important prior to joining?382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb1ubYM6aC
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvYH3B5dVZ
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvil1xsIuz5
Hair colour: Red and Blue382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPStmjMtHAI
Eye colour: Pale Blue382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNycHe67LCI
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuFCvquQBa
those she serves with.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fmplNRnky
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEHEqoh3xF
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZM4CPLAad
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYPZkzOREZ
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZpYEekRL1
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSALuUmnD4
still surrounds her.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl2WPJ1qy9
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVb0RvnNit
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLE1tcr3Co
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZzjE85Fpt
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vHtp8afzR
to name it...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBappOcNxRs
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1qHrii7hQ
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhHxP1qmlB
them until they were heard from no more.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC1a4x65QD
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcdVuHGpb5
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45YkaU0R3L
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu3Ja2YcP0
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFXgmvvKST
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZf28eueB
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fgteWyF9l
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsvRntLAdg
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVy47hLpfz
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTWgzcYj8b
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD5uV0CWMJ
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDj8G1fQcK
Hair colour: Pitch Black382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPrKjVJjho
Eye colour: Green382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ww6IG3rEg
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKdTF8yESH
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjbkdL4D8Z
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs25ItYVj9G
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLsnbUYAG9
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtDS3PFUI9
and rundown houses.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda9wvK1OKB
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB8bDKOPWo
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTjTwKE1FO
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn4XMEGsi6
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oOUUJu4pu
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw7WP5u9bN
Impossible, and yet it was true.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhioXDTObh
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeeZHf869j
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EaPpX6l43
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zv0R6YeE
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sS0A55PCj
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhctUt36dUm
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cd7hbujAE
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ9WMq4QY5
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0p87dJq6o
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTLIRCvWmw
or something else of an uncanny nature.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkvOm4zM23
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLky7OHtaow
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRYCGll8zN
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ7UrQLgGG
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXqZh4ol09
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V6bLGvmCk
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ReffapyMV
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6DYqT6V3p
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HK1mP5P8L
being produced since the last war.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCCHPvt2lQ
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr0c9djs6A
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6y0wgMRbF
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBdLJGaH5a
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ9vrteZJy
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRyXJWH07q
Hair colour: Golden382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfOtInblqt
Eye colour: Blue382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07T5k3cGaO
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNFjZA6QlO
through.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmrkV9t8it
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5y92xkwsU
stained with flowered scars.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1aQ8qPtSI
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn6VCbH4eZ
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRdKAKLx2O
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMksDQaYsh
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQcb9jzhVS
as they get passed across mouth and land.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sv5IE2RUm
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SDAADSvPZ
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjevfSfQV2
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu479mLXk3u
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZeb2ryLqk
soldier’s orders.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezUiK3eKbm
And that is but the latest.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRzQgXPXRK
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO766yEm5nh
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKeCkhW8I2
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOQhDmvBwv
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBAVUaXSrV
to follow.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMVfQXBst0
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIbtn1AKig
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdIVjV9Vgk
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
