Post by Matthias on Mar 12, 2006 14:46:08 GMT -6
For the sake of our sanity, I'm taking it upon myself to try and keep this roster. Basically, I'm putting down everybody (tell me if I miss you, I'll modify), and who they're traveling with. If you're new, you can get a good feel for the various members of the group, without having to sift through hundreds of posts. I'd recommend starting somewhere that's not Ostia right now. If you want to head to Ostia, read some posts first, don't want you to end up dead.
In Sacae, having defeated Hanon
Kenshin is a silent warrior, one of the leaders of the unusual group of heroes. By birth he was to be the heir to his tribe, yet circumstances would prevent this. His village would be attacked by bandits, causing the young man's life focus to be revenge. Because of this tenacious focus, he is willing to throw himself into battle, risking life and limb. Thankfully, his companions and his skill never abandon him, and he always comes out the winner. His quiet countenance hides the ferocity of a warrior. Helped in the fight against Hanon.
Katara and him have a thing going. Oh yeah.
Approximate age: 20
Katara
Heart of Sacae(Swordmaster)
The Kind hearted and gentle Katara is not one you would expect to be a fierce warrior. Born in Sacae, the young woman displays the skills of their greatest myrmidons. Yet she still shows a kindness that will catch even the cruelest off guard. Once Santaruz, her new home, was attacked, she knew she would have to fight to protect. She joined a ragtag group of would-be heroes, and has fought by their side ever since. Struck the final blow against Hanon.
Kenshin and her have a thing going. Like we didn't know...
Approximate age: 16
Sokka
Flashing Blade(Myrmidon)
Katara's brother, and a skilled fighter in his own right. The young Sokka joined the fight to protect the ones he loved. Like his sister, he joined at the battle of Santaruz, and his dedicated sword has proven a benefit to the group ever since. While on the journey he was given the Falcatta to grant to Kenshin, thus earning him the name "bearer of Falcatta." Sometimes he lets his bravery get in the way of his sense, but there's usually someone there to stop him from overexerting himself.
Approximate age: 18
Alexia
Shield of the New Dawn(Paladin)
Alexia's tale is one of sadness, though you wouldn't know it by talking to her. Outwardly cheerful and polite, the cavalier treats all with fairness. She has put herself in harm's way in order to aid others in need, and has shown herself to be a great warrior. Inside, she faces the turmoil of having her closest friend killed by a resurrected Hero, watching her beloved die of sickness and wounds, and seeing the wreckage of her family and home. She fights to protect others, always at the forefront of battle. Struck the final blow against St. Elimine; helped against Hanon.
Given Age: 18
Dirk
Nomad of the Stone Face
Dirk doesn't talk much, but he does act. He has recently been feeling self-doubt after his involvement in a duel. Has only recently officially joined the group; after Alexia explained everything to him. Dirk's silent reassurance is something the group is slowly beginning to grow accustom to. Helped in the fight against Hanon.
approximate age: 23
In Etruria, working to foil the group's plans:
Kraft
Shadowy Plotter(Thief)[/center]
The group discovered the wily Kraft running away from a rampaging villager to whom Kraft owed money. He latched on to his "saviors" quickly, though his eyes seem just as focused on their purses. Street-smart Kraft saw through the group's ploys, and sided with St. Elimine. She has called him forth, and he serves her even after her death. Now he has been given an office by a noble in Etruria, and is trying to stop the heretics. Unfortunately for Kraft and the believers, his schemes never seem to work out quite well...
Approximate age: early twenties
In Ilia, preparing to move
Matthias joined the group as a money-hungry archer out for an easy job. After joining, he found that wouldn’t happen. However, he would get revenge for the death of his adoptive family. Since joining he’s proven to be incredibly loyal, and incredibly crass. Known for being rude at first encounters, and for having the foulest mouth of the group. Nevertheless, Matthias is usually the last to leave the battlefield. Lordship was thrust on him during the Ostian conflict. Nice guy, buried under layers of rudeness and filth. He was suspected to be killed by St. Elimine, but nothing was conclusively proven. He has since reentered, restored by Marzius's magic. However, he now has a sword to hurt himself with... Helped with St. Elimine; struck the final blow against Roland.
Approximate age: 21
*Matis
Eagle of Sacae(Blade Lord)
Matis has led the group through much of their journey. Nearly every member of the party has been saved at some point in time by either Matis's quick strategy, or his quick sword. The younger cousin of Kenshin, Matis is the other survivor of that village. He seems less eager to throw away his life, however, though he still wants revenge for the atrocity. The determined leader is always willing to add others to the group, and leads with an unusual skill, for someone not born into leadership.
Approximate age: 19
Aerious
Draconian Vengeance(Manakete)
No one is certain just how old Aerious is, and he's not about to go telling everyone. He travels the world looking to avenge his kind. In doing so, he found it most beneficial to join with the "heroes." He is close-mouthed, to-the-point, and a ferocious combatant. So far he has helped take down two of the resurrected heroes, and has proven to be a great aid in combat. Now if only he'd open up and share a bit more.
Lord Jason, a minor noble of a Lycian house, escaped to study knowledge free of his lordly constraints. Taking on the name of Brad, he roamed. In his wanderings he encountered an unusual group of heroes, and has since thrown his lot in with them. Perhaps the most intelligent and knowledgeable member of the group, Brad has proven himself at every opportunity.
A sort of anti-hero of sorts, Alan has seen the harshness of battle. Originally he served Bern, but deserted in order to aid a group of people as they attacked the Ruinz bandits. At first meeting, he is sarcastic, caustic, and generally unpleasant. That feeling doesn't go away with time either. Despite that, he is a fierce, loyal warrior, who sacrificed his life for the cause (he's not dead, he just can't go back). For reasons even he doesn't understand, he has taken the treacherous Lyndsey captive. Could it be love? Nah, this is Alan we're talking about. Went to Bern after recieving a message about his brother. Was captured... but Lyndsey effected his release. All it cost was Lumino's life. Now leads a Bernese detachment. Helped in the fight against Hanon.
Given age: 22
On a border in Lycia, mopping up a bandit attack:
Crowley
"The Magnificent"(Mercenary)
Crowley had been part of a gang of gold-loving mercenaries. He had been enjoying the simple life of being hired out to kill people. Then Matthias killed his boss. Since then he's managed to help kill a legendary hero, spied on the enemy, and raided every pub from Ostia to Etruria, enjoying his reputation as "dragon-slayer" and "hero-killer." He's a fairly sharp man, for a mercenary; and at least seems loyal enough to stick with his "crew." He is more likely to run away from a fight then towards it, but that's just smart, now isn't it?
Given age: 28
Wylie is a noble sort of person. After his village was attacked, he picked up the staff instead of the sword, swearing to help other people. He then mounted a horse and wandered, enlisting with benevolent mercenary gangs. Then he met Crowley "the Magnificent." By some twist of fate the two of them have become partners of a sort. Together they managed to infiltrate a magic academy, and are working for Santaruz. Of course, being with Crowley has earned Wylie a certain... reputation. Poor kid.
Given Age: 18
Rayl
Honorable Cavalier
Rayl was the sort of boy who dreamed of knights and glorious battles. He lived his childhood fantazing about destroying wicked men and saving beautiful damsels. To make his dreams come true, he journeyed to Laus, where he became... a baker. Okay, so things didn't work out exactly like he'd planned. He eventually became a squire to a knight of the Olde Code, and was trained as a cavalier. He wandered the countryside, looking for fair maidens to save. Then he ran into Persephone and Alcibie, helping them. Then he was "fortunate" enough to meet with Wylie the Wrestler and Crowley the magnificent. Now they travel as one big happy family.
Given age: 19
Persephone
Winged Glory(Pegasus Knight)
Persephone comes from a long line of pegasus knights. She's the sort of girl who had mothers and grandmothers who loyally served Ilia. Naturally she, too, took up the lance and set forth to prove her worth. She graduated and began wandering, hoping to find, well, something. She was fortunate enough to encounter Rayl before any vagabonds. They journeyed together, eventually meeting with you-know-who. Thankfully she's got some fire to her, or else I'd shudder to think what Crowley or that wannabe playboy would do to her....
Alcibie
Righteous Cleric
Alcibie had the misfortune of surviving a bandit attack, a tale of familiar sadness. Thankfully a priest found her and raised her as his own. Under the priest's tutelage, Alcibie grew up to be an excellent example of womanhood, and a benevolent priest. She journeyed forth, and was lucky enough to run into Rayl and Persephone early in her travels. The three formed a tight bond, and have been traveling together since. Though, they did happen to join up with the two stooges... so we'll see...
Known for sarcasm and rebellion, the enigmatic Zeiss recently dropped in on the group, quite literally. His dark facade doubtlessly hides a skilled magician. Known for piercing insights, he spends a good deal of his time working behind the scenes. What lies behind this dark facade?
Approximate age: 16
Usha is the oldest of five siblings, all brothers. Her father was a renowned mercenary captain and warrior. Her mother was a camp servant.... Anyway, Usha followed her father's footsteps, while taking care of her many brothers. At last she decided her family could take care of itself and she left them. Her first solution to any problem is to attack it head on, generally with an axe or her fist. She journeys to find her purpose, and to kill things. Though many don't realize it, she's smarter than she lets on, and certainly understands basic battle strategy. Currently she met up with a rag-tag group. Let's hope she joins them instead of attacking.
approximate age: twenties
Resting in the Wings, Awaiting Their Turn on Stage
Dray'Gon ended up captured by bandits, having been caught unaware. After being rescued by a certain Matis, he threw his lot in with the humans. A dragon of relatively young age, he has still seen much more than his human companions. As one of the few winged manaketes, he is an anomaly who constantly must prove himself to his own people. His dedication to the cause is virtually unrivaled, and his strength is impressive.
Miley
Smiling Sword(Mercenary)
Perhaps the most cheerful member of the party, Miley attracts people wherever she goes. Bouncy and joyous, the young woman has been known to gather veritable armies to her side. Yet at the same time, she is a fierce mercenary, who will not allow wrong doing to occur. She encountered the Etrurian party, though has yet to start following.
Approximate age: 17
Ryan
Spear of New Hope(Cavalier)
Ryan had been sent on a journey to locate his liege lord Jason. He had no idea he would be involved in such a major undertaking. AT first meeting, the young man seems stuffy and reserved. However, underneath the shell lies the heart of a gentlemanly warrior. He performs his duty with grace and honor.
Kana
Kindhearted Mage
Sokka's sweetheart. Kana seems to be a tranquil young girl, willing to play the role of damsel in distress. Yet there is definitely a fire lieing underneath that facade. Willing to take the lead, she's shown quite a lot of potential in her short time working with the group. Was rescued by Sokka from a minor bandit base, and followed him to a secluded village.
Approximate age: 18
Kyo
Man of Sticky Fingers(Thief)
Kyo is shady at best, underhanded at worst. He's been known to steal from members of the group, and seems to be looking out primarily for number one. Yet he still rejoined in Nabata, looking for a way to help alleviate the suffering in the world. His sticky fingers will prove to be quite useful in the troubled times the group will face.
Ralph
Feisty Urchin of the Streets(Thief)
A feisty boy with a troubled past. Grew up an orphan on the streets of Bern, and learned how to take care of himself while there. He ended up traveling to Ostia, where he tried to join the group. His age proved to be a barrier, and he had to prove himself. Often acts without thinking, but also thinks on his feet. Eager to prove he is worthwhile, despite his age.
Approximate age: 11
