Harken Edelark

Age: Unknown
Birthplace: Unknown
Faction: Corrorian Rebels
Allies: None
Strength(s): Guns and Starships
Class: Pilot, Rifleman, Interfacer
Race: Human
Leader: Loner

Appearance: Tall, thin, long gray hair. He often wears black composite armor with dark blue trim, and carries a rifle on his back. He's easily recognized due to the unusual visor that he almost always wears, completely covering his eyes.

Story: Harken keeps his past and his motivations to himself. His personality is often cold, and he appears to be hostile toward everyone so few tend to get in his way. Those who were unlucky enough to get to know him, however, believe that he fights for what is right... The "right fight" being that against Corroria. When asked once about Corroria, Harken simply replied by turning his back.

Ethan Nighthawk

Age: 21
Birthplace: Unknown
Faction: The Edóvaen (by association)
Allies: The Arbiters' Order, Zolandor
Strength(s): Reasoning
Class: Scion, Telepath
Race: Human
Leader: Loner

Appearance: Average height, brown eyes, medium-length brown hair parted to the side, and a scar on his face. He often wears a plated vest, a shoulder guard, gauntlets, and leg guards over a common outfit, and prefers to use a sword and shield.

Story: Ethan does not know his own past, but finds himself constantly on the run. In recent times he came across a strange relic that many powers are seeking to take from him, and is working with a close-knit group to discover the truth behind the growing chaos in the world... And perhaps to bring the balance back if a means can be found. Ethan is often sarcastic, but is a good person and desires to help others for no personal gain. What gets to him is the feeling that someone is always watching, and this may be an influence on his sometimes unfriendly outlook.

Vynna (Vyn) Lightstrider

Age: 20
Birthplace: Frionia
Faction: The Arbiters' Order
Allies: The Edóvaen
Strength(s): Melee Combat and Leadership
Class: Arbiter, Enchanter, Savant
Race: Human
Leader: Aranel

Appearance: Average height, long straight light-brown hair, and blue eyes. She frequently wears commoners' clothes, but when prepared for battle, she has a set of heavy armor customized to her preference. Her weapon of choice is a two-handed sword.

Story: Vyn is a young knight in the service of the Arbiters' Order, a secretive council of free-thinking people who defend Earthia against the elusive forces of darkness. She doesn't agree with the general intentions of the Order to wait for darkness to show itself, and instead has gone many times against the Arbiters' collective will to bring the fight to Valeron. She hopes to one day face Nemorok in his dark realm, and to ultimately put an end to his schemes by her sword.

Gero Northwind

Age: 42
Birthplace: Entarca
Faction: The Edóvaen (by association)
Allies: The Arbiters' Order, Entarca
Strength(s): Ships and Gambling
Class: Privateer, Swashbuckler, Gambler
Race: Human
Leader: Loner

Appearance: Average height, light blond hair in a pony tail, and blue eyes. He often wears a long coat with many pockets, a sword on his belt, and a rifle on his back.

Story: Gero is quite extroverted and friendly toward others, and always likes hanging out in a good tavern. He considers himself a privateer, but not a pirate as many often see him. Exploration and treasure hunting are his favorite things to pursue while at sea, but when a friend needs help, he's always willing to provide aid. Some consider him to be one of the best sailors in the world, but he doesn't flaunt this as it gets in the way of his often creative introductions.

Cora Starborn

Age: 37
Birthplace: A Corrorian Space Colony
Faction: None
Allies: Only a few individuals
Strength(s): Starships, Computers, and Feigning Personalities
Class: Pilot, Gunfighter, Coder
Race: Human
Leader: Loner

Appearance: Average height, curly brown hair, and brown eyes. She prefers to wear casual gear with guards for her chest, elbows, and knees, and she often carries a personal uplink and an assault gun.

Story: Cora is often considered "bad luck" by those around her. She is often avoided due to her unpredictable personality, but it is known that she has good intentions.

Malachi (Mal) Stormwill

Age: 40
Birthplace: Unknown
Faction: The Edóvaen
Allies: The Arbiters' Order
Strength(s): Wilderness Survival and Tactics
Class: Ranger and Arcanist
Race: Human
Leader: Konadar the Unseen

Appearance: Tall, somewhat long brown hair parted in the middle, green eyes, and he often wears leather armor with a cloak. Often he is seen wearing a mask that covers his mouth and nose, and he tends to have a bow and quiver strapped to his back under the cloak. His weapon of choice is a "fender blade", an exotic two-handed weapon from a faraway land. He is also strong with a number of other weapons.

Story: Malachi keeps much of his past to himself. He is one of the last of the Edóvaen, a secret order of warriors sworn to "fight against destiny" and protect Earthia from a long-foreseen end. He is quiet and calculating, and deeply troubled for reasons that he refuses to explain. The "winds" guided Malachi to aid Ethan with his burden, in hopes that maybe he holds the key to saving Earthia, as the abysmal prophecy begins to unfold...

Keia-Qetal (Desert Mouse)

Age: 22
Birthplace: Keslacan
Faction: The Etazan
Allies: The Edóvaen
Strength(s): Druidic Powers and Beast Control
Class: Storm Warden, Shaman, Beast Handler
Race: Human
Leaders: Vlazok & Kemalvoatl

Appearance: Somewhat short in height, blonde hair, and green eyes. She wears traditional clothes for an Etazan shaman, and sometimes a heavy cloak over that. Her preferred weapon is a spear, both as a ranged and melee weapon. She has a strong affinity with her elemental powers, and her spear is almost always attuned with one such element... The head of her spear tends to either be in a flame, surrounded by small ice crystals, surrounded by a small cyclone (encompassing the entire spear), or visibly charged with electricity by discharging static bolts toward anything that gets close.

Story: Keia-Qetal, often called Keia by friends, which means "Desert Mouse" to the Etazan, was actually born a Ketsetek. When very young (earlier than she remembers), Keia was left stranded in the desert when her village was destroyed by a band of brigands. She was discovered five days later by an Etazan hunting party, who took her back to Itzenoska and raised her as their own. Keia has now gone off on her own to find a way to peacefully end the war between Itzenoska and Keslacan.

Mistress Dachaneia

Age: 116
Birthplace: Vianaara
Faction: Vianaara
Allies: The Arbiters' Order
Strength(s): Healing
Class: Savant, Exorcist
Race: Sprite
Leader: Avaen

Appearance: Relatively tall for a sprite (although still short compared to a human), long blond hair, and often wears a long dress with a shroud. She never carries any weapons.

Story: Mistress Dachaneia is a sprite of the enchanted continent of Faeronn. She has travelled all around the world, and has great wisdom. She also has a kind heart and sees no purpose in violence, and has studied the art of healing to help fight death itself. She has been increasingly uneasy, however, for the magic that has long protected her home is fading, allowing outsiders to intrude on the forests of Vianaara.

Executioner Marcus

Age: 44
Birthplace: Aderon
Faction: Aderon
Allies: The Arbiters' Order
Strength(s): Axes
Class: Myrmidon
Race: Human
Leader: Aranel

Appearance: Average height, muscular, short black hair, often wears guardian armor, and usually carries a large executioner's axe. He is almost always seen with the axe in his hands or held over his shoulder.

Story: Marcus was once the executioner for the city of Aderon, and was also the one who imprisoned the previous king to end Aderon's unnecessary conquest. Since then he turned down his role as executioner in search of a more honorable path.

Enillia

Age: 24
Birthplace: Unknown
Faction: None
Allies: None
Strength(s): Feigning Personalities
Class: Dancer, Affinitor
Race: Human
Leader: Guane Wulfdancer

Appearance: Average height, thin, medium-length brown hair, wears non-identifying clothing, and usually has a concealed dagger.

Story: If one word could describe Enillia, it would be "lost". She claims to not be from Earthia and does not know how she came here. Since she apparently arrived in Farington, she has been trying to find a way home. During the time she was here, she picked up on some skills for survival, although in the eyes of those around her she appears to not be capable of handling herself outside the city. Strangely though, she stumbled upon a portal in the Dharonian Mountains and managed to activate it, something the Dharonians have been trying to do for ages. This brought some attention to her (whether or not she wanted it) to go along with the dancing skills that made her popular in Aderon's taverns.

Ner'val

Age: Greater Than 720 Years
Birthplace: The Blighted Plains
Faction: Nemorok's Legion
Allies: None
Strength(s): Death
Class: Revenant, Poltergeist, Demonicist
Race: Wraith
Leader: Nemorok

Appearance: No visible face, but has brightly-glowing red eyes (wraiths feed on hate, and the most powerful show this through their burning gaze). Ner'val wears a flowing black cloak over spiked armor, and he carries a massive spiked sword.

Story: Ner'val has lived a long life of pain, suffering, and hatred. Wraiths (like Ner'val) are born from hatred and shadows, and strive to darken the light of the world. Supposedly Ner'val killed his master sometime during the past century. By today he has pulled himself up into the upper order of the Acolytes of Nemorok, and is now independently scheming to fulfill Nemorok's goals which were not attained in the time of Pompelus.

Zetayn

Age: Unknown
Birthplace: Unknown
Faction: Nemorok's Legion
Allies: None
Strength(s): Unarmed Combat
Class: Rogue
Race: Lycanthrope
Leader: Nemorok

Appearance: A little short for a lycan, appears slightly frail when not in werewolf form (which he almost never assumes), has tangled red hair, wears torn clothes, and does not usually carry a weapon. He's often looked upon as weak.

Story: While Zetayn is a lycanthrope, a race often feared on all sides, he has somehow become a willing servant of Ner'val. His life to this point is one of servitude and confusion. Even he does not know who he really is, and perhaps it is this confusion that is keeping him in the same spectrum as his master.
