Name: Hunter MacPherson
Age: 22
Gender: Man
Appearance:
Skills:

• Stamina; hiking
• First Aid
• Orienteering; can read a map and use a compass

Biography: Hunter always felt like he was born in the wrong era- he was made to be an adventurer, an explorer. He grew up reading all manner of fantasy and adventure stories- Tarzan, The Lost World, The Land That Time Forgot, The Mysterious Island, he's read (and re-read) them all!

Eventually he took up hiking, where he tried to relive those adventures. He also took an interest in the so-called "Lost City of Atlantis", which was about as close as he got to enthusiasm about something academic (and he wasn't upset about the whole "was never more than a hypothetical civilization" thing, since it could live on in his head anyway).

If it weren't for his endless daydreaming, his mother swears he might have done something useful like become an archeologist, or an anthropologist, a novelist... Hell, she'd have settled for "cartographer" by the time he got his AA, but if his fantasies weren't an option, he didn't see any use for ambition.

Duel Monsters was just another adventure, for him- he almost treated it like a game within the game; crafting a narrative in his head about the Amazoness's, and each match was a new adventure he got to watch play out.

Items: A compass, a pocket multitool, a canteen and a lantern.

Name: Dr. Alistair Centurian
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Appearance: Alistair almost always has an overstuffed waterproof bag filled with his tools on his back.
Skills:

• A deep understanding of Ancient archeaology and architecture
• Rudimentary Cartography
• Knowledge of Ancient Engineering

Biography: Dr. Alistair Centurian, son of Dr. Aberto Centurian, is an exceptionally young man who just managed to achieve a post-doctorate in Archeaology, with a specialization and thesis on Pre-Hellenic automation in the Mediterranean. His father, Alberto Centurian, was employed by Pegasus to investigate and preserve ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics for their use in Duel Monsters.

Alistair has had a sporting interest in the game, due to his father's involvement... but also found a greater interest in the secrets behind the cards. When his father had first shown him the original reliefs of an old automaton, Alistair dedicated his life to understanding their meaning and purpose. He was a brilliant student, with a passing interest and fascination with mechanics and engineering (more conceptually, to aid in his eventual thesis). He has gotten his PHD at a remarkably young age, having only gotten it within the past year.

In what free time Alistair has had, he has been collecting and building a deck based on his own fascination: the Ancient Gear Golem.

Items: Work Bag (Brushes, Scalpels, First Aid Kit, Portable Sieves, Line Levels, Rope, trowels/shovels, Hand Pump, Notebooks, Camera)
Other: Nothing of Note

Name: Alyssa Thompson
Age: 20
Gender: Female

Skills:

• Familiarity with funeral rites and traditions, especially relating to Britain or Egyptian
• Administrative Skills
• Business & Economic Theory

Biography: A young girl living in rural England whose family tend to the local graveyard. Long ago, the family immigrated to England from Egypt, though they have long since assimilated into Britain and scarcely kept any traditions and customs they had brought from Egypt. A story passed down in the family was that they were descended from a high-ranking priestess in the Pharaoh's court, though since there were no official records or proof of such things, Alyssa did not put much stock into it. At least until she got herself an internship for England's branch of KaibaCorp while studying for her Business Degree in College.

Unsurprisingly for a company under Seto Kaiba, it is customary that all of its employees, even interns, be able to duel to some degree, thus Alyssa had to build a deck as part of her orientation. While originally she had planned to simply look up popular decks' archetypes as a starting point, she felt herself drawn to a particular archetype to the point that the monsters in the archetype appeared in her dreams, the Gravekeeper Archetype. Thinking it apropos and somewhat funny, given her family tradition of being the gravekeeper of her hometown, she decided to go with it. While that was the end of it for some time, after briefly meeting the CEO of KaibaCorp himself when he was inspecting the England branch of KaibaCorp, she started having dreams of being a priestess in a Pharaoh's court, a Pharaoh who looked similar to her current boss, for some reason. It was then that Alyssa started to think that there might be more than just legends to the stories passed down in her family about how they were descended from a high-ranking Egyptian Priestess.

Alyssa was back in her hometown for the holidays, tending to the local graveyard as was tradition, when she was suddenly pulled to another world.

Items:

• Duel Disk
• Lantern
• A bag containing water bottle and basic utilities

Name: Noevelle
Age: 31
Gender: Book
Appearance:
Skills:

• An encyclopedic understanding of the creatures of the duel world!
• Minor magical prowess, mostly enough for parlor tricks and activating spell circles, etc.
• Multiple languages at his disposal, ranging from the language of beast warriors, aliens, and many more!

Biography: Noevelle is a boo koo, a magical spirit envoked by many spell casters to make their spellbooks function autonomously. This is primarily a luxury for powerful spellcasters, ones who might require both hands for combat or for a spell book to flip to the right page without them willing it to.

Noevelle was not much different than most of his kind. He was created by a great and mighty wizard, one who was a major protector and ruler of his a mighty magical city. Noevelle quickly learned he was one of many, as this particular spellcaster had an abundance of spell books, towers full.

Despite this, Noevelle was given a particularly crucial task: he was made to teach the younger students of the arcane schools the basics of magic. While this may seem like a degrading job to many, to Noevelle this was a magical oppurtunity. His patients was tested but more than anything it was honed and fashioned into a great asset of his. Ultimately he became one of the better teachers, and many of his students went on to be skilled magicians.

So Noevelle was greatly disheartened when he heard of the Iswarm. Many of the very students he taught lost their lives fighting off the threat, and many more where turned and corrupted. Eventually his master and creator had seen enough and created a magical barrier around their city, shutting out the world outside while they waited for this disaister to end.

Noevelle could not accept this. The world was dying and he could not simple sit idly. Instead, he opted to escape the city, and he did so with what little magic he actually possessed. His knowledge led him to have faith in an ancient prophecy, one that he hoped to come true. That heroes from another world would be their saviors!

Items: Ironically for a living book, Noevelle carries around a book. It mostly just has a list of rules of the ancient game but is where he had discovered the ancient Prophecy. Besides from this and his deck, he also carries a set of Tarot cards, seeing them as he simpliest of magic!

Other: (Anything else that doesn't fit into the other sections.)

Name: Alice Gremory
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Skills:

• Knowledge of the supernatural and occult

Biography: For most of her life, Alice had always been interested in the occult. Whether that be the symbolism of life and death, supernatural events, and the study of the unknown. She would usually hole herself up in her room whenever she had found something new pertaining to her hobby, studying it nonstop until either needing fresh air, or having acquired enough of an understanding for the moment. Her fascination with the occult is what drew her to Duel Monsters, as it was plain as day to her the cards were steeped in occult symbolism, and were hiding something behind their seemingly normal appearances.

As such, she was drawn to the many archetypes and monsters that drew inspiration from the occult. Particularly those of the undead, and the manipulation of life into death.

As much as she likes her hobbies, they have not done her any favors when it comes to making friends that didn’t share her interests. So she was mostly left to her own devices without much interaction with other people. Not that she doesn’t want to meet others, but she isn’t good at starting a conversation that doesn’t involve looking into the afterlife or the mention of what a person’s fortune is with one of her tarot cards.

Items: A bag containing many miscellaneous items referencing the occult. Including tarot cards, a few charms, like one of a black cat, and a book that may or may not contain legitimate spells and rituals.

Other: Collects anything that may have occult symbolism. When not dueling, Alice is usually reading up on supernatural phenomena. Or organizing any at all new items she has acquired for her collection.
