Height: 177268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveJ55wmRSO
Hair colour: Black268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUmX5KtzyX
Eye colour: Yellow268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Ddi3E9Rc
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNPgwznjDB
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡius5pbCsFl
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmbV5qz1NT
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMRkmiRYc8
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLGlxlrmuK
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy38bHQ85m
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBet04qnOFM
importance lies elsewhere.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmUArutrbf
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HzMAE9Svp
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDCQT0ViAD
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jcqMycSGr
scholars.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJrPbvXkAZ
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUtYipkrH5
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVScU8qC5dy
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6NAfC069z
Hair colour: White268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC6s5AkfuS
Eye colour: Pale Blue268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkWLrWwPbU
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0NpFJCtru
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50eOa6UaQy
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsgZfWZT2x
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCswxNWQOMH
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ai2b48mz
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMrDINmAYE
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dIFQcFinR
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbQeJRSgb
Hervies simply could not pass on it.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesQc5tjBFs
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm3T5No7ez
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zA9q2Qw33
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f8diOQ9dX
are not his only strength.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DicP7PzwL
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcu7vbxB4v
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SdgOtVpmW
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVvFYb5WDw
ever hope to have around.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG13fE6D3W
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSXk2nSzNL
have been someone important prior to joining?268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkcI7GHQkX
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GILiTfFCN
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNInTViue3t
Hair colour: Red and Blue268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpd71qfl8R
Eye colour: Pale Blue268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnXOALDXg7
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lxKvXLkdQ
those she serves with.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiQtSfHKvT
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjGel1iYdx
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxkzhX0Tkr
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmXnhpW0o5
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWaZ9gMRsx
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH2HS6IXfS
still surrounds her.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH248TUizM
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQzWGjwamu
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp400dWQC1L
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JRbVfgf9I
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaKmGjkIG5
to name it...268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8NEBw6v2g
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf2FbgfyaK
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSOInPsR0c
them until they were heard from no more.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5GVgcKX8I
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonUzkfCb3v
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggyciACcR6
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw3qdVVN6b
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA4tIrxmFa
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlzdLrYObF
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7EiXf58NK
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElsidct4pC
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiJcmrRsWY
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2d3CrgT4k
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW8Bwkl0fs
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X0v6tECzs
Hair colour: Pitch Black268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjLqfk74Tz
Eye colour: Green268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zmjT1qmcc
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTujZU65hO
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTFStW1hPY
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ucnc6ejpg
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Imgmqlek5
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU1GJf8AfN
and rundown houses.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0CWGCFRzQ
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5VYf8bIVz
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS8LTIM7BU
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr7UZyC4XG
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh6NOrJyOk
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetlJA1EK0K
Impossible, and yet it was true.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIPENttnUf
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyanN6L2Fac
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTs1OPmqhE
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznvdBKaOQG
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZzGtFJWfM
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJS6paq3Pd
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvJ0rJvyX7
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUMM62DQHc
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EbkEjTyoB
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGoChrwopy
or something else of an uncanny nature.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh32QkkRD1
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2vWXie9Eo
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1LlWm8Jd1
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpD5MRc6LN
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGifRKIJGH8
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkTlls9cdy
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBobfYvbre
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsdELZSvIb
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I4xftwmAT
being produced since the last war.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8S0jQ8dc1
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RM2imyMxK
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO28DFVcNM4
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqUExDLxcY
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvgT2RpaCq
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxEYHhDHID
Hair colour: Golden268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgPcMXCmFb
Eye colour: Blue268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3oW8KzK5W
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3cTS87hYJ
through.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3LT0zqYJq
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IBFkTbMHm
stained with flowered scars.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fef72SCgy
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvYtFMuUBJ
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysLJiw32iL
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XzqXUPveH
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BGFNBJhqV
as they get passed across mouth and land.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaeokMqZ55
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrCemree01
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPvcKrtARU
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrjps9SBrp
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH54H37ieB5
soldier’s orders.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAMkHsApGw
And that is but the latest.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahttasxObp
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbAi8O2g0W
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAKDIKXv35
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0iVpdtaG1
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXbAmSSWnE
to follow.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SfP9xp5ug
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN8j1LgFQW
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz2VzhBigP
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
