Characters

Name: Rook
Race: Human
Class: Druid

A roguish Druid cloaked in green, Rook is highly sarcastic, severely careless, and hopelessly reckless.. much to the dismay of his travelling companions. It seems that through no fault of his own, trouble follows him wherever he goes. Beneath all the distinctive flaws and an overly silly personality lies a smart young human who's far more gifted than most people tend to give him credit for. Motivated only by his unbending desire for adventure, Rook sets out on each new adventure with an iron will and a sense of childish eagerness that others find hard to resist.

Name: Valor
Race: Human
Class: Paladin Knight

A valiant Knight determined to seek out evil and destroy it wherever it may lie, Valor fully lives up to his name. He is truly fearless, never panicking even in the face of the greatest of dangers. His personality can best be described as "monotonous and boring", as his lifelong friend Rook often claims, and he very rarely laughs or smiles. He is a leader by heart, and a veteran of the Order of the Holy Knights, otherwise known as Paladins. Quick to anger but also quick to sympathize, he would place his own life on the line to ensure the safety of both his friends and the innocent alike.

Name: Kira
Race: Nymph
Class: Cleric

Kira is a cute and lovable Nymph who first met Rook and Valor when the pair rescued her from Gorkan's gang of Orcs. She is bright, cheerful, and easy to please, and very rarely expresses feelings of hate or anger. Having been raised in a reclusive forest setting, the Nymph lacks worldly experiences and thus has a tendency to be somewhat naive and ignorant of the world around her. She blushes easily and often, a common sign of her soft and sensitive nature. It is clear that she has much to learn, and what lies in her near future is still uncertain.

Name: Gorkan
Race: Orc
Class: Berserker Fighter

Nicknamed "Gork the Ork", Gorkan is a bold Orc commander who wishes nothing more than to charge into glorious battle and hack and slash at his enemies till death finally takes him. He has little to no control over his lively temper, and is a firm believer in the notion that violence is the solution to everything. With the help of his unlikely new allies, he seeks to obtain redemption against his hated enemies and relive the glories of the ancient Orc race. It is likely that when he sounds the final call to battle, many of his fellow Orcs will unite under his command.

Name: Solia
Race: Elf (Werewolf Hybrid)
Class: Ranger

Solia is a free-spirited traveler with a passion for adventure and the open road. Wandering from land to land, she has made a name for herself as a notorious marksman and scoundrel; in addition, the fact that she bears the curse of lycanthropy has resulted in many a bounty being placed upon her head. She shares a deep-seeded history with Rook and Valor, the former being her childhood sweetheart. Despite the less-than-flattering image of a "wicked wolf-woman" many people associate with her, Solia is a compassionate and intelligent young girl with a soft spot for love.

Name: Anri
Race: Human (Extraplanar)
Class: Sorceress

Anri is a quiet and withdrawn sorceress who seems to harbor an unusual fascination with the human condition. Though she is human in appearance, her origins lie in a distant realm of chaos, though the exact location remains unknown. For all her life, she has sought to understand the simple emotions that mortals often convey, be it sadness, anger, jealousy, or love. Shunned and outcasted by society, Anri suffers from loneliness and her inability to "feel", and it's evident that these tribulations are taking its toll. Her involvement with the Shadow Council are another matter.

Name: Renn
Race: Half-Elf (Werewolf Hybrid)
Class: Kensai

Renn is a solitary and honorable swordsman skilled in the use of the katana. He bears a special, heart-felt loyalty to Anri, who took him in and raised him when he was abandoned to die in the frozen wastelands. In return, he has sworn to protect her with his life, and it is evident that he would sooner place the lives of millions in jeopardy than risk any harm to the young sorceress. His sister, Solia, is all that remains of his family, though the siblings share an extremely distanced relationship, often finding themselves in the opposite ends of any conflict.

Name: Averan
Race: Human
Class: Warlock

Averan is extremely tenacious, highly abrasive, and downright narcissistic. He is cunning to the extreme, with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and success. Though he retains an extensive amount of power and influence due to his connections with the Shadow Council, he has always felt that something was missing, and has spent a lifetime trying to fill the empty void within him. In his eyes, everything and everyone is a tool; tools which may be manipulated and exploited to further his own ends. It is ultimately his inability to see others as genuine human beings that constitutes his tragic flaw.
