Height: 177376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLNtehxFZ3
Hair colour: Black376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcZUWcu8vf
Eye colour: Yellow376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIYWNhwXcV
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vGsIt8nLv
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEMLP3hN2t
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJWPnWV7aV
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd0K385vKT
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjgrUmBjPm
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvXGiSebYP
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX22JuddP3O
importance lies elsewhere.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcPcLIkrLy
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfawmsDVZv
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstFdg0ul8k
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaxxWPR9F5
scholars.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBkvaAfXk1
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA9rmW7EWt
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQWwAKwIh0
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodGkFPZRSZ
Hair colour: White376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XxIdvisfh
Eye colour: Pale Blue376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6firz0v0vx
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxa553QHJC
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjnwXZIwrL
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2sVcqd9o2
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uj7jcCYHO
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskQeNMsAf0
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlISopL6K3V
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqwENs8oW2
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnckySsntqp
Hervies simply could not pass on it.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5d0nCUYGe
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICxsOb50VV
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3J0y9oIdU
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHh8tpF3A2
are not his only strength.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01kbeq1Lha
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOLuHQUTq6
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJqoMgaooE
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBS3Urg8Wd
ever hope to have around.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BTlrpqikd
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4taPoZ9hW
have been someone important prior to joining?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI7q4dmd9h
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkzbgw0pQN
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasC1mmhI91
Hair colour: Red and Blue376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQFSt5Oze
Eye colour: Pale Blue376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkpyx4cBE1
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS81O9ZJ4Op
those she serves with.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZwTc2joLr
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaiJLRzoTy
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJb4JxD03H
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2N24JUG9S
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMtSq3kdwZ
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfWCHhi3V7
still surrounds her.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmpfJupVGm
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnagZoGEeC
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKoFYbrLV8
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6P3xFnVUR
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoyxt2Gxjc
to name it...376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZFFJ7ZhhC
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEvFaQ6maH
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqvl6Fk1de
them until they were heard from no more.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xtvvTgB9O
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6YhhsxbQS
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyWwNZfUk7
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1IxChmMrq
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM01oDGBtk4
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTZdZz9h7K
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uxC7ckF6X
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReFGQUohQd
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOZ7w1INga
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQzyrqn0we
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLmwFRZS6s
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Height: 182376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0pnVaerIK
Hair colour: Pitch Black376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZK06udv93
Eye colour: Green376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurloApgSc6
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq57gnnVezq
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXbUSI7do1
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGBDUSQu1D
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPlD1Bfm35
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0mvp7czwu
and rundown houses.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O8lDXeilo
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LoY0Kn1et
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNooQJa4vf
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADRw252qTE
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2caMEl2Efw
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOp5tkB7G9
Impossible, and yet it was true.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kuDJ9DXgy
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNQGa9wW0S
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgOTHzFb0q
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno6g4WLFUW
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvjtbXePcf
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuAzrNZTx5
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopVb9ockrD
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJMW0wvbvd
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxtDitBAkM
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sSpyXADJ3
or something else of an uncanny nature.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVr4SzZi6h
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKqsY2Y0YM
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SMqii61KB
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1dHqfX69v
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ591XJjRinq
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL23i4OBAl
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pOuKKtMIX
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhQIpjUsJC
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h5ePsUEqc
being produced since the last war.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUE4DNF2FE
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcwXIAMdHh
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2hAyB5qXo
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRca149wNk
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS6X4JFzPC
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg34Yh1LNn
through.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXUkgHiPOa
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszz4YE8hOm
stained with flowered scars.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpedxkF0e78
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfcxXBN9Kc
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHAGpc9wgd
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7cHop47zi
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfaoKPrKML
as they get passed across mouth and land.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAijCd5Kp0
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7V9KObXll
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUMC8gISaP
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC6C35nu3V
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxE3JAoaNU
soldier’s orders.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yq1p4wYVe
And that is but the latest.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4KLtBSOIQ
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTG14YIpnr
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfazW7Rj7e
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgNz6FvnwY
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGclRJxIuYL
to follow.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtsuogfjDc
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Y1cHaqgG
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr735svBEST
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
