Hair colour: Black309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8WL44qW90
Eye colour: Yellow309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYvMVlpb84
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHnuqh0E6U
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURGFoKeF0m
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF0Z8bMD2G
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPymzgyLNms
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDANa8eXZF
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZKDatFhpo
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyiA1cBaan
importance lies elsewhere.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu1P5JX9iK
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnNj8EGx9a
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR43mjRdlV
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zLivAfAau
scholars.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWTeT5btqn
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQxWBY4zDe
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDVx05eyah
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2EejPy7u
Hair colour: White309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DO2THucNt
Eye colour: Pale Blue309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rWH2mhKTU
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvYJogZm6E
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe89hwaQwVj
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDDzmzYc4Q
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcigS3sQnI
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFQrjPUCJQ
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbswu7AjXL
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYMjQ72or9
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9PmnhCg1d
Hervies simply could not pass on it.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkGMOXURLz
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OSgLvHC0j
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkxXJ3TdZR
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllSk9Hp99k
are not his only strength.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKxPQX0GfK
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuRUZhnV1P
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T0ZzqTOTO
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9dY3f0QSg
ever hope to have around.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU1n6FqP6N
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EpR22CH4b
have been someone important prior to joining?309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUJLpt6CT5
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg8Vb2sdJO
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtustVE5JL
Hair colour: Red and Blue309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEa3ofAFBK
Eye colour: Pale Blue309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3H3ttCumo
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tuNhi4E4M
those she serves with.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefnAsJJCAZ
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS19yg6tapK
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjKgk5AVX1
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9HD2w0Udc
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cw6gq6UxW
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMrFCjbBze
still surrounds her.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjndfToZiE
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMpzmwQ48F
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgz4FDu8Q
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xg3sk5Ep8
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl7ynHYYfx
to name it...309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPsIJNaWS1
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkJieTu3GG
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRe4pYw9le
them until they were heard from no more.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCnJjjxxIG
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWxEEilHRL
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mYeBIMmCP
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrml0Tg9iB
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAa02nnVwZ
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUvS5Pt3tG
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNkD5goAym
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSmLCUoXfX
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxYtQ7qbfq
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyfllwEP8C
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVKlkZ3ysa
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Height: 182309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpyL3voCda
Hair colour: Pitch Black309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0mygHVonR
Eye colour: Green309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAV2muFfOH
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSjH3yPZKv
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggtpuwD4z2
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm15f2R4wA
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyggQk7V4m5
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupxJbBQBWG
and rundown houses.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRYsXRZVT9
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN2vnQyVqz
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPpUj8kOJD
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDSi7xEQTx
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5LBmi4VR9
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmsLIJpn0m
Impossible, and yet it was true.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM0qRnGSJU
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLeNdCiR9n
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnxt0qVVvK
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09H1coyB5n
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriqpdra1U9
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHjXK1Fe09
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJKHHzEmQe
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF4T4kgmD6
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoGNRM4Zzh
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO7t4rXQv4
or something else of an uncanny nature.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazCIidDfaA
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5y2PDJeB4
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp51VMdWhJ
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0YHI0gEA1
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ9W3NCiKG
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gFCpo8GE0
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VlRSkgaiV
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsizMa51DdQ
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrzltWVsVY
being produced since the last war.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcB04it5AW
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjscNWmgL7Y
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKBGl9w2YF
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y5E3ope5s
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFWXVQpRJ8
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Hair colour: Golden309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRCs9wT7rY
Eye colour: Blue309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3zOKnT4hp
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8AGoWCM2K
through.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J7GRMaMoO
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJuJA42aJr
stained with flowered scars.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv940RPbaK
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpOZ9xrjRe
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5GvNfxCbE
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p93as8JmJ
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm878SBCstY
as they get passed across mouth and land.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtrA8ZnvJJ
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0DBKnnnqi
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCMOiBOwuY
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54KzNDqNYM
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnt6EadcR4
soldier’s orders.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZDQqjOthM
And that is but the latest.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4wOEEQrV6
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWojgHEYTM
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXUDj1vJIp
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4cG7yq0Nq
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm8gzhP96J
to follow.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbxV6teL4k
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhSMR8MOEf
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfccPXbL8O
