The Scarborough Fair (Wyrd branch)

Ace, the Magic Blade. Jillia the Dancing Dagger, Moseph the All Spells, Vazard the Weapons Master, and Venus the Beast Tracker. These are the top five hunters of the Namina branch and they have a well-known reputation.

But like a dark reflection of Namina's top five, the Shadow Hunters of the Wyrd branch also have several prominent hunters. Their top four are known collectively as "The Scarborough Fair".

They are cruel, merciless, and brutally effective at their job. And their job is to kill monsters. Not to talk with them, not to trade with them, and not to exist beside them in any sense. They are 'hunters' and the monsters are their 'prey'.

----- Parsley -----

Hair: Salt and pepper
Age: 35
Race: Human
Group: Shadow Hunters
Weapons: Maul, Gauntlets
Magic: Enhance magic (Strength and speed)
Quote: "No."

A man of few words and decisive action. Parsley lumbers over almost everyone else by at least a half-foot and has an innate talent for intimidation. His vocabulary may not reach the double-digits, but the number of creatures he's killed certainly has. While he carries around a maul, he prefers to crush his targets with his immense, steel-gauntlet sheathed fists, surprising them with his deceptive speed and agility.

----- Sage -----

Hair: Black
Age: 33
Race: Human
Group: Shadow Hunters
Weapons: Throwing knives, wrist blades, stilettos. All hidden up his sleeves or inside his cloak
Magic: Runic tattoos on skin, for speed boost
Quote: "Right you are, Parsley. **** IS the answer!"

The brains to Parsley's brawn. A thin, ratty man, Sage has a pechant for wearing long, billowing cloaks that conceal his true size and speaking in a polite tone to his targets. People often mistake him for being the weaker of the two.

That is often their last mistake. He specializes in throwing knives, considering himself below dirtying his hands with close-range weapons. Always keep your eyes on his hands and never, ever ask him to do a knife trick.

----- Rosemary -----

Hair: Vermillion
Bust: A
Age: 29
Race: Human
Group: Shadow Hunters
Weapons: Bow and arrows (Fire enchanted), Liquid fire, explosive and highly volatile flasks.
Magic: High-profile Fire-based magic (i.e. explosions, fireballs, walls of fire, nothing subtle)
Quote: "Hatred is my shield and vengeance, my sword."

Like Venus, Rosemary lost her entire family to werewolves. When they came for her though, she discovered that she had an immunity to Lycanthropy. Unfortunately, this meant the werewolves subjected her to terrible experiments, trying to find the extent of her immunity. Her mind almost broken from **** and ****, Rosemary was eventually rescued by Shadow Hunters. She quickly rose the ranks to the Scarborough Fair due to her unique ability and a burning desire for ****.

She carries a vial of mercury around her neck at all times and fights with fire, in all its forms. Torches, flame-tipped arrows, liquid fire, and explosives. Those are her tools of ****, and she is a master.

----- Thyme -----

Hair: Honey blonde
Age: 10 (60)
Race: Human
Group: Shadow Hunters
Weapons: Silver daggers, Diamond wire
Magic: Shadow and Light. Use primarily for camoflage, stealth, misdirection, and to blind.
Quote: "I've got a secret, mister. Can you lean in close? I'll tell you."

When he was a young boy, Thyme contracted an extremely rare disease that prevents him from visibly aging. With the face of a 10-year-old and the heart of a sociopathic killer, countless marks have fallen to his angelic looks.

He accepts that, at one point or another, he will simply keel over and die from old age, but until then, he relishes his job as a hunter. He kills primarily with tiny daggers, hidden in his sleeve, or a thin, unbreakable wire he uses to garrote his victims.
