W.I.P [hider= Irea Prince, Lance ''The Flag'' ] Name: Lance [i]The Flag[/i] Age: 20 Gender: Male Birth Nationality: Irea Current Allegiance: Irea Class: Lord Equipment: Rapier, Vulnary [img]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/RainbowDash26/Anime%20Pics/KisaragiJinfull264852.jpg[/img] [u]Biography & Personality[/u] Lance grew up to be a regal man in all manners, especially when it come to deeds, and honor. He always pushed himself hard in trying to uphold any vows and promises, earning to respect of his close friends and men. Despite being serious in his duties, Lance know how to take it easy when in company of his trusted friends. Considered as an ideal leader by the men serving under him, it was no surprise he was chosen by the Irean King, his father, to lead the campaign against the invading Renais. Lance was surprised at Renais sudden open hostility, but his father, king Reginald, seemed to have knew this day would come eventually. Renais always held a grudge against the Grado territories, even if it had fragmented into multiple independent and free kingdoms over the years. The Prince showed openly that he was against this war, but it would not keep him from defending his people. Fearless, he lead the charge against the forces of Renais and proved himself a very good commander with his bold tactics and quick reactions in the heat of battle. At times, Lance would even venture into enemy territory for sabotage missions. He would cut off supplies, destroy siege equipment and steal supplies from Renais, making himself well known among even the enemy. His daring moves and tactics were what kept the enemy at bay for such a long time, but the forces of Irea alone were far too little and less prepared to push back such a mighty foe. Each day they were losing more and more ground and even the Prince had to realize some kind of measures had to be taken if they were to save Irea. It was the king who decided to send an emissary to the other neighboring countries to seek help in this battle. The king also said that he would lead the troops from now on, since the emissary was to be no other than Lance himself. The prince opposed his father, but to no avail. King Reginald a king just as stubborn as he was just. Accepting this fate, Lance promised to bring back help and save his beloved Irea, making it a vow to uphold.

He is also a much talented swordsman, actually being the one who taught the Prince most of what he now knows. More a fighter than a thinker or a leader, Welan is known as the ''Blade'' of the trio. [/hider] [hider= Kendal ''The Mind'' ] Name: Kendal [i]The Mind[/i] Age: 23 Gender: Male Birth Nationality: Irea Current Allegiance: Irea Class: Archer Equipment: Iron Bow, Vulnary [img]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/RainbowDash26/Anime%20Pics/Anime38-1.jpg[/img] [u]Personality[/u] The oldest of the trio, Kendal is also the most tranquil. Kendal is actually the best at planning ahead and a big asset to the Prince tactics. Kendal was more than often the one behind the Prince daring plans. The Prince was still one of the best leader out there and a really good tactician in the heat of battle, but when it came to preparation ahead of battle, Kendal was the best weapon Lance had at his disposition. [/hider] ------------------------- [hider= Alessa, Hiactance Princess ] Name: Alessa Age: 16 Gender: Female Birth Nationality: Hiactance Current Allegiance: Hiactance Class: Shaman Equipment: Flux tome, Nosferatu tome, Vulnary [img]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/RainbowDash26/Anime%20Pics/rodsa8301vSM365k.jpg[/img] [u]Personality&Biography[/u] Alessa is a Princess, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her the first time. Not because she doesn't look the part, but because she has none of the leader spirit one would expect to see from someone of royal blood. Despite this minor setback, the Princess of Hiactance proved to be gifted in the arts of magic, particularly in the dark magic.While it may seem taboo in any other nations, dark magic is a part of original Grado's heritage, and while the original empire itself might be shunned upon, dark magic remain a commodity in Hiactance at least. Alessa was raised and lived for the most part of her life inside of Hiactance castle. Overprotected by her father, she lived the life of a sheltered girl and even undergo her training to become a Shaman from within the castle walls, unlike the customs were. Unfortunately, her training was not the only custom the king broke over the latest years. As the years passed, king Vendrick seemed to feel more and more threatened. The king always was someone who took no risk, and even had been known for it, but now it was of another proportion. Recently, Princess Alessa even began to fear what action her father might take next. [/hider] ---- [hider=Jehanna exiled heir, Ismaire] Name: Ismaire Age: 19 Gender: Female Birth Nationality: Jehanna Current Allegiance: The Desert Vipers Class: Myrmidon Equipement: Steel Sword, Excalibur Tome (Sacred Twin weapon), Elixir [u]Personality&Biography[/u] Ismaire, who was named after the great Jehanna queen of older times, is the one true heir to the kingdom. Jehanna's kings always were strong and just, but the country had an history of being ruled by Queens. Traditionally, the head of the strongest mercenary group, or guild, had the right to rule in Jehanna, but that right was kept within the same family ever since the hero Joshua claimed the throne back for his family, along with the help of the legendary Renais twins. Things changed on the day Avdlan went on with his coup, overthrowing the current royal family. Ismaire was forced into exile to avoid capture, or worse. She was then only nine years old, but the once-princess was still forced to live by traveling around the country, homeless. After a year or so, she met a man who, over the time, ended up realizing who she was. Before she could flee the girl was brought before his leader, back at their camp. The man also knew who she was, but to the contrary of what Ismaire thought...they did not utter a word about it. Instead, she was accepted into their band of mercenary as an aid of camp at first. After getting used to it, Ismaire was happy of her new life. Even though she always kept on dreaming about taking back her country, she knew she would have to be patient and grow up first of all. Over the time Ismaire learnt the art of sword fighting, be it form teachers or actual fighting. The one best teacher she ever had, however, was a fellow soldier under the name of Santiago. Little did Ismaire know, he would be bound to become the captain of their group after an unfortunate turn of events. Today, with the war in the distance and the violence that was sure to come, Ismaire was determined to reconquer her land more than ever. She would follow her group wherever they'd go, but her ultimate goal was set and in sight. [/hider] [hider= Knight Felix] Name: Felix Age: 24 Gender: Male Birth Nationality: Rausten Current Allegiance: The Desert Vipers Class: Knight Equipment: Short Spear, Steel Lance, Vulnary (It is not the usual type of pictures, but I really love the armor and didn't find anything else like it. I wanted a Knight that came from Rausten, which is supposed to be really religious, but without being a Paladin.) [img]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/RainbowDash26/Anime%20Pics/Fantasy%20Pics/Paladin-1.jpg[/img] [u]Personality&Biography[/u] Felix is a holy knight of Rausten. He leaved his country some time ago on a quest that he never truly spoke of, apart for the fact that he failed it. Shamed at himself, he refused to go back to his order in Rausten and instead wandered the land, helping those in need he'd meet along the way. At the darkest time of all, when he truly lost the will to keep on going, he met the Desert Vipers. They were a group of mercenaries that passed close by his location and he ended up stuck in their fight. Quick to shoose his side, he helped the mercenaries fight the nearby bandits and eventually joined the band. His past is a secret only himself knows of and obstinately refuse to discuss it as of yet. He still proved a loyal and strong fighter, however. He does all in his power to protect and take care of his fellow comrades, going from cooking to taking an arrow for a brother or sister. [/hider] --- [hider= Renais General, Beatrice] Name: Beatrice Age; 27 Gender: Female Birth Nationality: Grado Current Allegiance: Renais Class: Wyvern Knight Equipment: Silver Lance, Short Spear, Elixir [img]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/RainbowDash26/Anime%20Pics/dark_knight_female_for_rpg_game_by_koi_artss-d6ks8le.jpg[/img] [u]Personality&Biography[/u] Beatrice was born in what is now left of the once great Grado empire. The empire was divided when, at first, Irea declared themself free. It's example was then followed by many others, fragmenting the once most powerful nation of all into only small fragments of what it once was, like a broken sword which shards are scattered on the battlefield. Beatrice was not born when Grado existed with all of it's remaining might, after the war of the legendary renais twins... but she witnessed Hiactance and the free city declare themselves independent of all other countries. She was young, but she still remembers her father's sorrow after seeing his great nation fall into pieces. The girl's father had served in the army of Grado and his devotion to his nation was obviously stronger than anything. Beatrice grew up to see her father take his own life, abandoning both his wife and daughter. Beatrice and her mother lived on in their little village together for quite some time after that, but things changed on the day a notorious group of bandits raided it. WIP [/hider]
