Height: 177442Please respect copyright.PENANAaSC7U3eyHx
Hair colour: Black442Please respect copyright.PENANAFlpEkAZHrr
Eye colour: Yellow442Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ71HA5CS8
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to442Please respect copyright.PENANAjuCLKODFSc
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to442Please respect copyright.PENANAlXaopdWtVx
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the442Please respect copyright.PENANAsh4NCX8LWq
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.442Please respect copyright.PENANAuDc4K0lfYB
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth442Please respect copyright.PENANAWOJU2QqPeZ
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat442Please respect copyright.PENANAX308Nlwb9M
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main442Please respect copyright.PENANAnusg9FC9FS
importance lies elsewhere.442Please respect copyright.PENANA3oVTREhem5
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she442Please respect copyright.PENANAs153BzXUMK
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability442Please respect copyright.PENANACLrmQcSzC9
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed442Please respect copyright.PENANAKIjV6FLVxM
scholars.442Please respect copyright.PENANAvorxSRZq8i
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much442Please respect copyright.PENANAmUNlGXF3Qq
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of442Please respect copyright.PENANAazRHBKtDda
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184442Please respect copyright.PENANAN8J4xTEVRZ
Hair colour: White442Please respect copyright.PENANA01nthZbqND
Eye colour: Pale Blue442Please respect copyright.PENANAVu005NC5dP
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face442Please respect copyright.PENANAUfQwk7DGPe
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered442Please respect copyright.PENANAuh5jMc89iI
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.442Please respect copyright.PENANAn2EzPcYutv
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.442Please respect copyright.PENANArCmTwsau7t
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to442Please respect copyright.PENANAhelGv7rILZ
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.442Please respect copyright.PENANAy3nEQP0kP8
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually442Please respect copyright.PENANAs8KqTvcPY9
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that442Please respect copyright.PENANAI68cckCinc
Hervies simply could not pass on it.442Please respect copyright.PENANA7gPRFuw390
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of442Please respect copyright.PENANAw2AUGdNsDD
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails442Please respect copyright.PENANA29lyujfta0
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman442Please respect copyright.PENANAYz9Z6Eo5wY
are not his only strength.442Please respect copyright.PENANAVzzLOXpBAX
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of442Please respect copyright.PENANABfRirKU5BR
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making442Please respect copyright.PENANAbKH2mPnW6K
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could442Please respect copyright.PENANAKDjcv4HlTI
ever hope to have around.442Please respect copyright.PENANAT5i77iEj3N
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he442Please respect copyright.PENANA8rFut86Uqy
have been someone important prior to joining?442Please respect copyright.PENANAWehaz3xVnU
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?442Please respect copyright.PENANAZmvzlT3ePG
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182442Please respect copyright.PENANA7eQXsvz8eT
Hair colour: Red and Blue442Please respect copyright.PENANA4AFGdBDnPC
Eye colour: Pale Blue442Please respect copyright.PENANAjHrchlIv0J
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to442Please respect copyright.PENANAt9j619xoQP
those she serves with.442Please respect copyright.PENANADdCtaoJ8Dl
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce442Please respect copyright.PENANAXnXql65sku
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.442Please respect copyright.PENANA9O9EoOkEau
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of442Please respect copyright.PENANAgxSErJYGBx
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.442Please respect copyright.PENANAh4bp2mdbVQ
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery442Please respect copyright.PENANA5BiKcvFjOv
still surrounds her.442Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4Pye8a2mC
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of442Please respect copyright.PENANA0kra5h6Lxq
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,442Please respect copyright.PENANAbdZMxR8UmY
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it442Please respect copyright.PENANAsRme186ec0
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed442Please respect copyright.PENANAT61S9a6IE4
to name it...442Please respect copyright.PENANAsHCG8yTPOG
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen442Please respect copyright.PENANAAceWYKJ4UV
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning442Please respect copyright.PENANArXEnNJKx0R
them until they were heard from no more.442Please respect copyright.PENANABzjNjhM9t5
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable442Please respect copyright.PENANA0uCkNf1YI4
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon442Please respect copyright.PENANAi3rrP763RN
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.442Please respect copyright.PENANAMFaRqPe5Sn
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that442Please respect copyright.PENANAfYBkDYam3T
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.442Please respect copyright.PENANAqaLsMJKBI1
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into442Please respect copyright.PENANA0TRDeGdLjN
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more442Please respect copyright.PENANA1faeA7Vm9Q
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely442Please respect copyright.PENANA0SyWkSodfy
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.442Please respect copyright.PENANAGNlofVC1gq
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is442Please respect copyright.PENANAnecCsaZDGV
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182442Please respect copyright.PENANACjr0BB3Yrj
Hair colour: Pitch Black442Please respect copyright.PENANAoJigEv4AE5
Eye colour: Green442Please respect copyright.PENANA6MPJVEWBJY
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by442Please respect copyright.PENANAULV8osxoqV
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the442Please respect copyright.PENANAmHu3NlcnqT
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got442Please respect copyright.PENANAQBvnyv35AL
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.442Please respect copyright.PENANABQkodDkFg9
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets442Please respect copyright.PENANApqDppD33zR
and rundown houses.442Please respect copyright.PENANAKKmoQQpaDz
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with442Please respect copyright.PENANAvV0KY9bZCk
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...442Please respect copyright.PENANAjHu6iBO9xH
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?442Please respect copyright.PENANAg31ZXsBmS0
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one442Please respect copyright.PENANA6A6aRs9Gzh
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?442Please respect copyright.PENANACME4R2b4Ki
Impossible, and yet it was true.442Please respect copyright.PENANABO51T2GXUe
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,442Please respect copyright.PENANAfslIllaPjT
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor442Please respect copyright.PENANAIwwlhGN9N0
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for442Please respect copyright.PENANA57AQ4Ofas8
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or442Please respect copyright.PENANAf24JWaSC5H
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,442Please respect copyright.PENANAT1PCGLogAf
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until442Please respect copyright.PENANAQRGRwEeqVh
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such442Please respect copyright.PENANA5yyiiVI1Tk
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it442Please respect copyright.PENANAfeFTqTh7hk
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*442Please respect copyright.PENANAJM5keFmBNw
or something else of an uncanny nature.442Please respect copyright.PENANAjDTksF42i9
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -442Please respect copyright.PENANALRBEiJ9kdR
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master442Please respect copyright.PENANAHwNn1jT2O9
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as442Please respect copyright.PENANA8kVIH0ULW8
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.442Please respect copyright.PENANAtCmtmbCb2W
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher442Please respect copyright.PENANAZudsASYy37
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a442Please respect copyright.PENANAZVOLMzzKSb
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon442Please respect copyright.PENANAZY7snnMm7X
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped442Please respect copyright.PENANAv1KjDPTJwY
being produced since the last war.442Please respect copyright.PENANAHQMd3nv4hd
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few442Please respect copyright.PENANAiLQdVFOKKs
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his442Please respect copyright.PENANADGZk7aeAwZ
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.442Please respect copyright.PENANAmipomJoVjw
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word442Please respect copyright.PENANAAkLnnTmRwQ
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188442Please respect copyright.PENANADoInCg5Fw9
Hair colour: Golden442Please respect copyright.PENANAjL2Ex1j9vY
Eye colour: Blue442Please respect copyright.PENANAKqm5290hdd
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and442Please respect copyright.PENANALORajMcfPo
through.442Please respect copyright.PENANAF9lnTkYcya
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen442Please respect copyright.PENANARmJ25c2phH
stained with flowered scars.442Please respect copyright.PENANA92A8Pqb7W8
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are442Please respect copyright.PENANASXAWaLtKBc
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being442Please respect copyright.PENANA3hqYhBAmgk
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like442Please respect copyright.PENANAbZDkOvF3eI
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,442Please respect copyright.PENANASgH4NaOaFf
as they get passed across mouth and land.442Please respect copyright.PENANA3TV2sP1SbM
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave442Please respect copyright.PENANAhN6rWhpps4
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned442Please respect copyright.PENANAXc4xttI1JL
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for442Please respect copyright.PENANAZeLOdZf59a
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any442Please respect copyright.PENANARoFXXbIdHI
soldier’s orders.442Please respect copyright.PENANAjHSDVm7JTy
And that is but the latest.442Please respect copyright.PENANAtypZbS852A
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is442Please respect copyright.PENANA71rLHj6n8W
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.442Please respect copyright.PENANA1k3JIWzzD5
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems442Please respect copyright.PENANAbh3DcE71jA
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man442Please respect copyright.PENANAojEZRDiyx8
to follow.442Please respect copyright.PENANAXMarw32qiv
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader442Please respect copyright.PENANAXOfNFeN3C9
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this442Please respect copyright.PENANA8092VzsSDq
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
