Deena Elgo
Height: 177233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV9mGkwHjn
Hair colour: Black233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHXlL8VVZ0
Eye colour: Yellow233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOdxYnV1zl
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlSEJLOXQ3
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylAVPUJflM
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSu7VRJbwR
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qLNyKMaBg
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEntDmB9f84
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU26wNvlKZ
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsoR3XaicR
importance lies elsewhere.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOZ6LazoR7
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvubLLdlcCs
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrOJsSUANd
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9CaAcCPAa
scholars.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5nl5EpbO3
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAImuYTdol2
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUqVAjvgEr
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrZt7S36xz
Hair colour: White233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB262iMsCW
Eye colour: Pale Blue233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJexNgzHLR
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ4Ikjh8Pj
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgruVkjvT1O
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X0cnBFs7L
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNDU2TQtkB
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHdppsHUuC
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHvDSCT6ef
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBmQmvozQl
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqUgZZwXXX
Hervies simply could not pass on it.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk68SCq3FUd
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD9qNl0ZxL
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jCsQzwgQt
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TLGbtlFyV
are not his only strength.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLOxqweYA2
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc9Zy2XMwe
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu1jY5qgOB
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhWEyYVP0N
ever hope to have around.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyJC8hdMf0
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE94jGU9OB2
have been someone important prior to joining?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkBbslMcJH
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqzcOjES6n
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG6yODREgg
Hair colour: Red and Blue233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuHQ9Rrwfo
Eye colour: Pale Blue233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREVIDMCLL4
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjueSPl5Yq
those she serves with.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ylMtLqA8
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLkBLzKc9Y
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHk6tVEqCU
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ICDfvFIs
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch9nubH1Tr
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKLCDXqf9V
still surrounds her.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzBdqmqNNL
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ236qmyQkEF
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVoLVnMrST
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc1FUEzPrm
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5u6YP1UOU
to name it...233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHOVzTL9ox
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHD0NEd3ar
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv9EGvrAdY
them until they were heard from no more.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr6xZYRm1x
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFivA3a8qIx
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYFKVF5xrG
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkjkJobxMU
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM2xIgPt7w
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmbqQzMrZt
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3jkCB5Ams
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GncEQNO6O
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimDR7mum70
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz8qIaBoi5
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmvb9KGGh8
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRopLIc9ooQ
Hair colour: Pitch Black233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs6GV8vqs0
Eye colour: Green233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYFdiXpKHh
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUSicEfOkn
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj7HaQvVuy
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUywOTQxVm
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhnpnEpBdl
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzefNX9qIyj
and rundown houses.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGGHh0yMND
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR9T20ODM0
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSPRn5k2FZ
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOCsPcYgv1
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pm1nVqpIo
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLmAFMXIfk
Impossible, and yet it was true.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53x9OHIdpW
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lb8FSkV4Z
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7FMMaJG5Q
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhW7Il0fvr
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHK8dIIjd7
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEDG3qHPkv
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8hHOSnkVD
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYFPSFTwI4
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtxjE7WUGS
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PtCLSLKsZ
or something else of an uncanny nature.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAyyCh5UmM
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kw7sCyavT
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBz2oMqChi
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbUySc8dCw
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKq47PJ6Nx
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIAM4jyQGb
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSAuu596aW
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJZdrpHNju
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo6ywxn1S6
being produced since the last war.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6rzNbOsll
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDlqJYkCGw
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpih4Lx6v3F
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kWrSvwvCu
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdxAm6eyZz
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 and233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyJIvFxNsS
through.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerh2uJBtSn
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFf1cipbxt
stained with flowered scars.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPRycprchs
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODbswAlj0v
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXFSsw0hjG
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkc5RnwHN0
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPrPaFWckL
as they get passed across mouth and land.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwPJZShvFz
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9gsgqOkFP
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUUc4uSP57
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiGDLLPJcM
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7LLAabWpz
soldier’s orders.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyOqthwS93
And that is but the latest.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei9BNBRqHU
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eCwPTvi7B
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMrUAtoPOB
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t8UUr7TMJ
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD9Zq5Z6OF
to follow.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidPsRnKEeJ
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwihIRMGLe
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxubU2wBSwr
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
