Deena Elgo
Height: 177343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga1u3NSBLl
Hair colour: Black343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hkxDCzyoc
Eye colour: Yellow343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO4pOsQjFX
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpYLCqDoRi
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqspfNpsngz
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WN9M4MbrT
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc9yYO46D2
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDtnQPzcSL
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9nD1l3liw
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXijrkvKDp
importance lies elsewhere.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2iEK4aDV5
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb0tRC5DoN
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePTyfma2F9
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGeCRTTYsF
scholars.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSbOIK8RbE
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTSzeuIJ0a
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3pZcvHEWu
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cwlM3rU59
Hair colour: White343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO051XfpJ8
Eye colour: Pale Blue343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nCnts2RAD
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p2xHiWYcM
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEVAFQKYXo
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco02qLxl7X
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgKLFewtdC
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4DYmQYWqj
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNTX0P5ghN
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1zdAOCDND
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCu4OtIPnJ
Hervies simply could not pass on it.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD3Qrplb5v
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyvROZYsjj
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNuxc3nAFH
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp8Zq5sLzi
are not his only strength.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN2QDJRhGK
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hP03llPOy
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8aUMj65tY
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsK5DCeeJE
ever hope to have around.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOFGRKp9w4
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6EsXlQP12
have been someone important prior to joining?343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSAXTr7l3G
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIItO3MRlo
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPCm1OSuIK
Hair colour: Red and Blue343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCcFbcK9Pt
Eye colour: Pale Blue343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvYEhFjMSs
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFUyF6xf54
those she serves with.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDNmAWaRcD
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0O9ZYNzuI
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLD3K0bAx5
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy3ZkixfeM
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrvDcjxout
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN0LP1G0ly
still surrounds her.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9248aRK1x
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxfx1L94El
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7P5OSqtYs
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2qFznFMPJ
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFHsDr6Yw3
to name it...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH2WBwHXE7
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhePafYOK9s
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TKFidYQMQ
them until they were heard from no more.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzgZL9yo9
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zD7G6MidT
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhS5Wdu9GE
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44ySAWuZj6
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlel8SE5jK
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9TOYX7kVQ
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYDw7LePGX
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnNb8vTlnX
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Wg7Ez6Ib
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHinc9mBR7
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX17IrO0qti
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIgA19gdQm
Hair colour: Pitch Black343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38KrIrF4hh
Eye colour: Green343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl974USXLs
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnYGYjDZ8D
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWLQWFJ8Nu
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bhK7wtR9G
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFsyUY3fCn
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFIbQ09xt5
and rundown houses.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQt2OevS2a
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy82KE2AHB
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8hCcijM1x
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhAjWbaHiv
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4eI3u8kK8
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXUyU7poY8
Impossible, and yet it was true.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesiyLmeQu5
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCtQWurNQd
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzAf2739JK
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqkMwZbBcr
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbMGhWQymY
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUQkBByGgk
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nJcmCYpvY
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc07wGkMcJ
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCxB7oMc2K
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrUDKsolXq
or something else of an uncanny nature.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOASZikcwv
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCuh2HE2Qb
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwPUtRgBrb
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8K0fFVOAf
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Bwdd6KZn
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdqj0grAHB
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdoNGwNAC6
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj8pI3iTgf
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UW7AUdPlm
being produced since the last war.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5yMVTIIe9
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLREZyMmRb
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m3kA6lLBV
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNetRqGa3Z3
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aMdCQdMxs
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJbQMTgLrq
Hair colour: Golden343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHogQNY5NeK
Eye colour: Blue343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEscWa1aaM
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33kJzIeBtg
through.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxZFzCbyF
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKEA8glz7W
stained with flowered scars.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxhELsZ9LQ
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJtsF8OX8
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzXaLxqByo
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuunvc2UEG
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q34AOuyNV
as they get passed across mouth and land.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9yx0OcsKZ
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd3z3zTNl4
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetsNqBtcsF
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIFlV0P2g0
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7RBsCiF6Z
soldier’s orders.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgMPpuxHQh
And that is but the latest.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsoo2ZOPDz
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEeu8bERpO
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb1FfKC6pR
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRDEhvldm8
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvKCFafli3
to follow.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCIBy9Coha
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qi56U8PsF
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlZjulrgU9
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
