Moseph

Age: 34

Sex: Male

Race: Human

Group: Shadow Hunters

Weapons: Staff (Actually several magically endowed staves.)

Magic:
Elemental: Skilled in all elements

Life: Minor healing, adept with barriers

Geomancy: Some skill

Runic: Mastered

Quote: "The power one possesses is like a lump of iron. Until it is taken to forge, it is of little use. You must train yourself, both mind and body to craft a fine weapon."

Moseph "The All Spells" is one of the most powerful mages that the Shadow Hunters have ever seen. Cloaked in mystery, few have ever seen the man's face. He keeps his whole body wrapped in cloaks and his face and head covered with black and green bandannas.

Moseph's power is so great that he realized early on that he would destroy his own body if he didn't temper his power. He studied the way most mages use staves as a way to focus their magic, but even that would not help. Instead he focused on Runic arts. He is one of the few humans that can not only place runes, but also remove them, but only as long as they are of his own design.

By carrying Multiple staves, he can have multiple spells in place ready to be used at any time. But because of the power he places in the staves, it is not uncommon for them to break after a few uses. Moseph has since begun learning Nature magic so he can grow his own staves out of trees he finds on his travels.

Vazard:

Age: 260

Sex: Male

Hair: Light brown

Race: Elven

Group: Shadow Hunters

Quote: "My skill shall be my magic. I refuse to let nature rule my spirit."

Vazard is an Elf from across the sea. Unlike most of his fair skinned race in Fyrona, Vazard (Vaz for short) is a Desert Elf from the kingdom of Geltan. He left his land two hundred years ago in search of a place to hone his skills and after his ship sank in a storm he washed up on Fyrona's shores.

Vaz has spent most of his long life training to be a skilled weapons master. He is a master of forge craft and skilled in many different weapon arts. Like all his kind, he is able to use magic, but he sees it as a weakness to rely on something other than his own skill. Vaz, like Moseph, tends to work alone.

Rosalia (Rose for short)

Age: 18

Sex: Female

Hair: redish brown

Race: Human

Group: Shadow Hunters

Weapons: Longsword

Magic: Healing only (Currently)

Healing: Some healing spells

Quote: "I know I'm young, but I'm capable of pulling my own weight."

Rose is a new addition to the Shadow Hunters. She has recently finished her training and only has some minor knowledge of spells. Because of her youth, she is determined to prove herself to the more seasoned Hunters.

She hates being treated like a child, even though she has a tendency to pout when upset. She has a bad habit of rushing into things without first thinking them through.

Sex: Male

Race: Undead (Revenant)

Group: Valdin's army

Weapon: Broadsword

Magic: None

Quote: "Why should I serve? I'm stronger and faster than ever before. Rodger the Ravager could become famous once again!"

In life, Rodger the Ravager was serial murderer and ****. He struck in ever major city at least once and hit many of the smaller villages. He never really got the fame he desired though because he was always moving around. In his final days, he succumbed to a disease he picked up after **** a prostitute. Angry at the world and loathing himself for dying so easily, the man's own darkness caused him to become a powerful undead. As a Revenant, he has more strength and speed than any normal human. He has grudgingly severed Valdin for several hundred years, but with each passing day he desires his freedom to pick up his old ways.

Lich: (Living name still unknown)

Age: Unknown

Sex: Male

Race: Undead (Lich)

Group: Valdin's Army

Like his Revenant companion, he serves grudgingly. He desires to see the full extent of his new power, but what could give him the final push to break from his master's service?

Hair (Head): Black

Hair (Body): Black

Race: Centaur

Group: Chiron's Defenders

As Chiron's nephew, Janus as had a lot of pressure put on him all his life. Some of the elder Centaur see him to be just as rash and impulsive as his uncle had been in his youth, but feel that as he ages and gains experience he will become a reliable member of the community.

He had no children with his first wife but has now remarried a young human woman.

Marna:

Age: 21

Sex: Female

Hair: Amber colored

Race: Human

Group: Chiron's Defenders

Quote: "I love who I love. Just because he's old and half horse doesn't mean he isn't great in bed." Wink wink

Marna's village was attacked by Orcs when she was a child. She was found and saved by Chiron, who led a small **** to wipe out the bandits and save the remaining villagers that had been taken as slaves. She grew up with Chiron as her teacher and guardian, but over time, she began to love him as a woman and not as a would-be daughter. It took her several attempts, but her youth and womanly charms finally wore the old Centaur down and they were married. Although she knows Chiron still misses his first wife, she is content in the knowledge that he truly loves her just as much. She desperately wishes to become pregnant so that she can give Chiron a child.

ZIXAR'S ARMY:

Hair: long and Black (Always wet and with kelp intertwined in it.)

Hair (Horse form): Black

Race: Kelpie (A water Fae)

Group: Zixar's Army

Magic: Limited

Quote: "Soon the land shall fall to its knees before me! The pitiful humans shall come under the thumb of the true master race! Monsters shall rule!"

A Kelpie that has grown to despise humans. With the coming war between the monster forces, Zixar sees this as an oppertunity to place himself as the king of monsters and to use that power to defeat humanity.

When he sees Venus, Zixar feels lust greater than he has ever known and desires to make the woman his pet whore. Her skill and mental fortitude could prove useful to him in battle, but Zixar is willing to sacrifice her mind just to ravish her young body over and over.

Malgan:

Age: 28

Sex: Male

Hair: Black

Race: Human

Group: Zixar's Army

Weapons: None

Magic: Strong Necromancy of all types.

Malgan joined Zixar after being driven out of Gaest for his wicked research into breeding living human women with undead monsters. He wanted to create a new type of undead that could rise above all others.

Although he has his own ambitions, he stays with Zixar more for protection than actual loyalty. His ghoul pack are a strong fighting **** for Zixar, but he is only strong enough to control about twenty at a time.

FIREBRAND TRIBE:

Taka Firebrand:

Age: Unknown

Hair: None

Race: Martuk (Goblin)

Group: Firebrand Tribe

Magic: None

Quote: "Firebrand once mighty tribe. One day we will be again."

Taka Firebrand is the Chieftain of the Firebrand goblin tribe. He is a kind and well loved leader.

This action later brings on their pregnancy deal with Venus.

Saraf Firebrand

Age: Unknown

Hair: None

Sex Male

Race: Martuk

Group: Firebrand

Magic: Shamanism and healing

Shamanism: Mastered

Healing: Adept

Saraf is an old and powerful goblin in the Firebrand tribe. He has been the tribe shaman ever since his father passed away. Though the shaman's normally pass their profession on to their children, Saraf never had any of his own.

He becomes a confidant and friend to Venus during her stay with the tribe. Though Taka and the rest of the males in the tribe clearly cared for Venus, Saraf was the one she felt the deepest connection.

In the path that has Venus giving birth to three half-goblin children, Saraf plans on teaching one of them the ways of the shaman.

Dakur Firebrand:

Age: Unknown

Hair: None

Sex: male

Race: Martuk

Weapon: Martuk Spear

Magic: None

Dakur is one of the clan's most respected warriors. Tall for a goblin, he is also a little stronger and faster than most. Although he can be fierce in battle, Dakur is also one of the friendliest Goblins in the tribe.

Dakur is best friends with Boma, and the two make an odd pair because Dakur is friendly while Boma always seems to be scowling at something.

Boma Firebrand:

Age: Unknown

Hair: None

Sex: Male

Race: Martuk

Weapon: Bow and arrows, bone knife.

Boma is the son of Taka and set to be the next clan chief. Boma is the only surviving son of three children, so he often feels that he has a greater responsibility to helping his tribe grow.

Like Dakur, he is tall and strong, but he chose to be a scout instead of a warrior. Many who don't know him would think Boma is uncaring and hateful because he never seems pleased with anyone. The few who do know him, such as Dakur, know that he is simply worried about the tribe and can't get his feelings across the way he wants to.

Boma is the father of Venus's children if she follows that path. He can't seem to make her understand his feelings for her, so instead of saying them himself he simply volunteers to leave the village to protect her.
