They were an odd party to be sure; a mysterious mage, a couple of newlyweds, a catgirl, and an orc. None of them knew each other prior, but they had formed a sort of kinship, if you call it that, once forming their group. Of course, some were closer than others. Carla and Michael, the newlyweds, were obviously inseparable. Amanda, the catgirl, looked up to Ethelia, the female mage, as if she were a big sister, much to the witch's chagrin. Then there was the orc: Bash. He was a crass, uncultured man, but he was incredibly strong and smart. Let's learn a bit more about these characters.

Ethelia

Ethelia

Ethelia is a witch who practices Dark Magic, such as necromancy and lust magic. She comes from a long line of powerful magic-users and she takes pride in her history. While she touts this, she never speaks of her family's name nor what race she is. Many assume her to be either a human or an elf, but her hat obscures her ears and no one dares challenge her to find out the truth. Many would rather just keep their heads in tact. She is an incredibly powerful mage, but also quite devious. She is not afraid of using her body to get what she wants and does not let anything stop her. She is the considerable leader of the party as she is the strongest and most powerful.

Carla and Michael

Carla and Michael

Carla and Michael are both human newlyweds who joined the party so that they could begin to earn money and make a life for themselves. Michael is adept at blacksmithing, but has rarely, if ever, wielded a sword. Carla, on the other hand, is an excellent archer who exceeds at long-range attacking. She can enchant her arrows as she sees fit and almost never misses a shot. Many say that Carla is too good for Michael and they're probably right.

Amanda

Amanda

Amanda is a playful and agile catgirl. She grew up on the streets and developed into a fine thief, stealthy and good at talking her way out of things. She is often crass and blunt, much to her detriment, with a fire inside of her that is unquenchable. She will go out of her way to get what she wants, no matter what the cost or risk is. She rarely listens to anyone aside from Ethelia who she adores and looks up to as a role model.

Bash

Bash

Bash is a strong, Orc warrior. He left his tribe to seek out glory, fame, and women. Ethelia, while having no interest in him, allowed him into the party as he would be a good fighter and enforcer, should the need arise. She knows he's only there for selfish reasons, but, then again, so is everyone else. Though, not everyone makes it as clear as Bash. The moment he joined the group, he had his eyes set on Carla. A fine warrior woman would make a great bride for him.


The group had many different opinions, ideals, and personalities which often led to them fighting. This was one such day as they were trying to figure out what job to take. Ethelia, while always the headstrong leader, knew that majority would rule on something like this. Therefore, she allowed each person to bring their proposal to the table and make a case for it.
