Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOOL49R4Iu
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaKsA72bsy
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JBIYdwKVC
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYNNaoasVG
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqlrakGYd5
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUSwL4qfI5
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTQQfqFvQD
importance lies elsewhere.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQLscajZlY
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGqnKQ6qdQ
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr89435aVd0
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8JWFFU7wZ
scholars.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlO0kdeZ7A
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMbOr7hRzf
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ93SDaDeB
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUBDO0PlcD
Hair colour: White410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1oVr3sDKY
Eye colour: Pale Blue410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL0Q65Swza
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTEoiPBYbP
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLJBLjCmzT
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWFvE5G4Vn
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk6Evty3jh
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT4mCnMSqi
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxnb69oV7M
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqCqOGif8g
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Mfkm8V1W
Hervies simply could not pass on it.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWPZCZGMkU
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6gobd37to
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U2ERHxjGy
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtYVGo2wZ9
are not his only strength.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2VtBiK2KJ
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoozQ4fs2iT
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqO7rtGpgg
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZsJZjZpQS
ever hope to have around.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPA8JJ2P3y
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDj86bUFXe
have been someone important prior to joining?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufGrTLFmnC
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV1uu2MSG5
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduhkmsYbNL
Hair colour: Red and Blue410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Yw1VEBto
Eye colour: Pale Blue410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30LKCzypsm
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuUhpKLya1
those she serves with.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvOGDeV4Xk
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUp5ZvD9XZ
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcykBzB48o
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjBSd4740d
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67dwTnRcnF
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuU0mpnXfn
still surrounds her.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKmcZxahRd
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDEQVkUX9Y
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcy6F727MR
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeWmddOJqT
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6tO4aGK0w
to name it...410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WxvqNflU6
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nuhs3O1WR
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8tuMDnDZw
them until they were heard from no more.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRCGvL2fW1
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiVVB7kEn5
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Z5MdAGV6
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo8gf4O6Be
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZGgAf3Cbz
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Hsi552lu
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlg2oEQ5XR
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AKgZ5Eycl
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPWfzjP0YV
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW7adTJMmv
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cUKN4CjGv
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Hair colour: Pitch Black410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghWOenacst
Eye colour: Green410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlQ1kPVpQX
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSa3SZTs44
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVtK4s32Ll
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWnot73Q82
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlKbWZZGhS
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5BEV8bj25
and rundown houses.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf1Dn49tg8
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgSqC1PbF9
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMJ7FO8gJq
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FpECG1P09
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW8LgTkw97
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTDN9IgmXk
Impossible, and yet it was true.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPRJ3kJOLn
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IxYhVKWhw
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc4I5sUrbX
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9xJKFF8R1
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDbshJ5tAB
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYYPA8j0ZG
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH6ZkRt8CR
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBjLIJiHZp
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsa8YK6Xqw
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NZVkCcEmr
or something else of an uncanny nature.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfuQbyVEkk
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUFKaBU6Lz
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWdNAepHyC
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl1xNAopk0
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46xocsJ3n7
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP84UEoSsC
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFixdmSpfv
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDziNVauHC
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl43PwMzGg
being produced since the last war.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdGeD5y52F
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1vF25NF45
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjyvoQQplz
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQoAHT97Qg
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT0bUBLuRh
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 and410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWNfBs3Lq9
through.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDWyPP9gmg
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7okZ0aLMKM
stained with flowered scars.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVpiKNKs35
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtZvrzaq9T
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn0Tr0DX9a
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ310aOQKlQp
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUSSere88b
as they get passed across mouth and land.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V6b3CIEtM
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE0acJETZh
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55KWwoX8C0
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q0Ok5S7Cz
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4NDciIFoH
soldier’s orders.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4zLztLk3f
And that is but the latest.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpsnriZ4Qv
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwMbUTbQIb
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShjlAqXJUU
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu73zOHZPs
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDmeXHOofL
to follow.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpWntI0xi8
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Vs1uKH74
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8ZeGX06b8
