Aramon
Elf Male

Height: 5' 2"       Weight: 150 lbs.
Hair: White         Eyes: Green-Gray      Age: 29
Aramon wears leather armor and a superbly woven black cloak to help hide his grayish skin. His only traveling companion has been his wolf, Kenyetta. The years of a life of solitude have driven him to be an extremist. He has good intentions but is likely to overreact. It is in his nature to protect and he is extremely loyal to his friends, when he has them. He is not outspoken enough to be the leader but usually will take the unspoken initiative. His only surviving sibling is a half sister whom he hasn't seen in years.

Aramon was exploring a deep part of the forest near orc territory when he spotted a small band of orcs torturing an old dwarf. Aramon and Kenyetta enraged, attacked and swiftly killed two of them and eventually killed two more, but the fifth ran away with Kenyetta giving chase. He tended to the dwarf but it was much too late to do anything. With the dwarfs dying breath he said, "Thank you for avenging me, I give you this." The old dwarf handed him a mighty throwing axe, "Moon Chaser, she will serve you well it was my finest creation." When the dwarf died Aramon buried him.

Moon Chaser is weapon is very special to Aramon, but always reminds him of just one more time he was just a little too late... his grandfather... his mother... and the dwarf.

Warlord
Cadar deSavaric
Human Male
Height: 7' 1"                 Weight: 310 lbs.
Hair: Midnight Black     Eyes: Dark Brown      Age: 18
Cadar is a huge man. He has always faced fear at his presence. His hair is night black and extends down to halfway down his back tied in a ponytail. He is actually not an ugly man if not for the huge scar that splits his face in nearly two equal pieces. Won wrestling a bear at the tender age of 14. He wears it proudly though in spite of the debilitating effect it has on his social life. Cadar is the heir apparent to the deSavaric Holdings, and as such, is a man very thoughtful and not prone to rash decisions. He can be often found asking advice and weighing outcomes before acting.

This makes many think him stupid and slow even though he is not. Neither quick to anger nor relishing combat, Cadar seeks to bring peace to the valley through politic, though he has no problem using force after much deliberation.

Strikeforce
Charon
Human Male

Height: 5' 11"        Weight: 130 lbs.
Hair: None            Eyes: Midnight Black        Age: 35
Charon is a loner, preferring the company of the those who are no longer living than others. But by the same token he can be quite charming if he wants to. He has an keen sense of knowing when to trouble is about to start.

Though he is quite slim and fragile looking only a fool would actually dismiss him as dangerous. Highly intelligent as well as extremely devious, he has made quite a few enemies amongst the Orcs who call him: The Shadow Walker.

Early on in his adventurers Charon along with another group was captured and pressed into servitude. The details of Charon's escape aren't known to the general public, but needless to say it prompted the Orcs greatest hero Tok 'ha to hunt him down. In a chase that lasted nearly a decade. Tok 'ha finally cornered Charon. But Charon was prepared with a host of lackeys, demons and other summoned monsters and armed with various magic items he put up a desperate defense.

Tok 'ha was not the Orcs greatest champion for naught. He waded through the army of demons, monsters, lackeys and undead, taking incredible amounts of damage and dishing even more out. He finally cornered Charon in a stone circle, where Charon played is final card. Exhausting his wand of lighting bolts he used the final bolt to attack the orc and then did something that Tok 'ha couldn't do given his rigid armor...he ducked. The lighting bolt bounced off the walls striking Tok 'ha no less than 4 times before he fell.

Then Charon did something he later regretted. He reanimated the corpse and sent it back to destroy his families temple as revenge for upon the orcs. This angered the Elemental Lords who commanded that LaTok, Tok 'ha's only son destroy the Shadow Walker. And thus the chase begins again.

He left home with his much loved brother when he was 117 and they lived though many adventures together, until the brother was backstabbed by two Orkish scum in an ambush when they were returning from destroying the Orcs camp base from where the Orcs were attacking Jutlam. Danyx was able to kill one and take the other's left eye. He then gave Danyx his precious elvin chainmail, before dying in his brothers arms. Danyx and three other survival companions were titled "Orc Slayers" and filled with gifts.

He was given the mission of retrieving a Light Sceptre, after that mission disaster struck due an infestation of monsters. Eventually they were beaten, but the cost was high and many of his friends died.

Reconstruction started, but he left. He couldn't stay in a land where he had seen so many of his friends died horribly so he headed north to the Endless Meadow.

Tempest
Gwydeon
Elf Male

Height: 5' 1"                                  Weight: 104 lbs.
Hair:  Green with hints of blue        Eyes:  Hazel        Age: 119
Gwydeon is slim and wiry, but fairly strong because of his constant training and playing in his youth. He is intelligent, but isn't very wise in the ways of the world. He likes to keep to himself and is very selective about his friends, but if they become friends it is usually for life. He also has a weakness for pretty ladies. He is very naive and believes everything he is told until almost too late or if the information is incorrect. He is eager to learn new things, he's rather curious about everything, but he does not always openly show his affections.

Gwydeon was raised in a Timor. His father was a merchant and seeing that his son didn't want to continue the family profession he puts him into school. The youngster doesn't like studying, but he is good at it especially math and sciences. Growing up he was trained in the arts of swordplay and wizardry. He learns those arts alternatingly. Also he had some friends who are thieves. They weren't bad, only kids playing around. But as they grew up they climbed ropes, buildings, and sometimes doing some wrong things to achieve right. Gwydeon became a skilled young thief, but then he decided to leave the band because they were starting to become more and more dangerous and evil. At his school he learned well and concentrated on the art of fighting and spell casting.

One night his parents were killed and his house was ransacked. Foolheartedly he wanted to pursue, but he didn't know who did it. He visited his masters. The swordsman gave him a hide and a knife wishing him good luck, after seeing that nothing would keep Gwydeon back. The mage gave him two spells and a healing potion. The old man said "Gwydeon, my doors are open to you anytime."

Finally he visited his friends from the thief band. They gave him two gems as a gift to help him and they bid him farewell. At the edge of the city Gwydeon sold one of his gems and brought the necessary travelers equipment, armor and some weapons.

He took a last look at his hometown and turned to the unknown searching for the killers.

Infestation, Tempest
Magnus Kane
Human Male

Height: 6' 3"        Weight: 190 lbs.
Hair: Black          Eyes: Steel Gray        Age: 24

A quick smile or a grim visage, both come easily for the one known as Magnus Kane. It is fortunate for him that the few lines that experience has begun to etch on his face tend to the former. Steel grey eyes, that miss little and have seen much, seem to mirror the inner steel of his resolve. Taller than average, with a medium build this youthful man is always in a state of transition. When he wears a full beard he appears at least a decade older ; clean shaven almost a decade younger. His dark hair is an unruly tangle, rarely combed, simply tied back in a tail that flows to his shoulder blades. While his taste in clothes tend to darker colors, mostly black with either green or red highlights. No matter what he wears he usually tends to have a dagger up his sleeve. Overall an observant individual with a flair for action and a tendency to overanalyze at times, but always capable.

Height: 5' 6"        Weight: 158 lbs.
Hair: Amber        Eyes: Blue        Age: Unknown
In another life he was known as Azalar. He was a ranger but he lived in Greyhawk and was involved in fighting a creature calling himself The Mage. While on the last leg of Azalar and his companion's journey, some of the minions of The Mage attacked, Azalar being surprised was incapacitated in the initial attack. As this battle went on some of these demons that attacked us made off with Azalars body.

When Azalar awoke he found himself chained to a chair made of bone and his hands were fingerless as he could see his bloody stumps and his bloody fingers laying on a ruby slab in front of him. The Mage in his second attempt to turn Azalar against his comrades, by telling him they gave him up for a sacrifice. But whether Azalars will was too strong for them to break or they didn't have time to try harder no one knows. What The Mage decided to do was send Azalar to a place called Lankmar. He also erased his memory of who he was and drained him of his power.

The only connection he has of his previous life is the bow, made by his father and handed down to him. As for the armor he was given that as payment for retrieving an item for the magic user's guild.

Apparently he didn't end up in Lankmar as The Mage said he was. When he awoke he's laying in a meadow of tall grass in the early morning hours with a terrible headache feeling very weak.

Ralandin comes from a remote village. His mother had always been a farmer, but his father was an adventurer, a fighter of no small skill. Because of this, his father wanted his first-born son to be a fighter also. But it wasn't to be. Ralandin was not very skilled at swords play. He was much fonder of reading. He got hold of many books from Heldax, a dwarven elemental priest and also a friend of his father. Ralandin got his scar when his father forced him to fight with his younger brother (who made a fine warrior... the brother is now a paladin). The father continued to express his displeasure with his son in the years after this, until one day when Ralandin had enough. He disabled his father with a spell and left. Before he left, he took with him one of his father's most priced possessions, a spyglass (the old man is probably very mad at Ralandin right now). He also got the Stone from Heldax, to protect him on his travels.

Now they often call on him whenever they sense that the balance of nature has been or will be upset.

Quick to laugh and always eager to share a mug of ale, Stamm's easy going disposition compensates for his intimidating stature.
