Nikulas smirked at the response. “I like you.” His voice calm, but genuine. “Straight to the point. No time for people’s shit.” He took a swig from the half empty flagon he was carrying from the night before. “So, where are they sending us?”
Name: Nikulas Age: unknown/unclear Gender: Male Race: Aasimar Bio: Nikulas was a “Strider.” A member of the royal army that focuses on infiltrating enemy lines, or working in hostile environments. Until they disbanded after a political scandal. The Striders broke up, with some retiring, and others being sent to prison or executed. Nikulas began a life of adventure. Becoming a travelling adventurer. Solving people’s problems. Learning more about his divine heritage and what it meant for his magical abilities. He joined a tribe of other Aasimar that were hiding in the southern mountains. They called themselves the “Golden Hand.” The Golden Hand is a collective of Aasimar ninja/monks. They trained him, and taught him the trick to extending an Aasimar’s life by drawing on their divine heritage. Nikulas was sent a letter from the King, since he was Strider, and than a relatively well known adventurer, the King was keeping tabs on him. Nikulas answered the summons, and wound up on the task force. Magic: Holy/Radiant Magic & Soul Magic (Basically Animancy Which is the opposite of Necromancy)
Radiant Blast - Nikulas‘s basic magic attack. Fires a ball or light energy, that deals extra damage to Evil/dark beings.
Weapons of the Heavenly Host - A basic Enchantment that imbues Nikulas‘s weapons with light energy, increasing their damage.
Spirit of Appolyon - By falling on the spirit of Appolyon, Nikulas can temporarily increase all his powers and physical attributes.
Dash of the Dominions - a short range Dash Spell. Nikulas gains a temporary boost of speed, and a phasing ability, as he turns his body to a “pulse” of light. While he is light, he can dash a short distance faster than most things can even perceive, and move unencumbered by the physical world.
Longevity Nikulas has been with the Golden Hand for hundreds of years. Since joining them, he has stopped aging. A technique kept a closely guarded secret by the Golden Hand, and requires Angelic blood to maintain.

name: Korash Frostbrand age: 107 bio: Korash is a rare half Elf, half Orc. Not rare because Elves or Orcs are rare, or because either are particually powerful in their own right, but rare because Elves don't nomrally associate with Orcs. The story of the union isn't spoken about much by Korash, but he does say his mum was adventorous and his dad got lucky. He never met his parents, so is unsure if his mother was the Elf or Orc. Korash was cast out as a baby. A disgrace to his parent's people. He was raised by a mysterious wanderer who claimed to be a Guardian of an ancient treasure. Korash was groomed to be the next guardian. Trained in sorcery and sword play. When he was 32, Korash and the Guardian were attacked by a band of Goblins. That was when the guardian drew his sword for the first time. Unleashing Frostbrand, an ancient sword said to hold the primal ice of the world. The Guardian made quick work of the Goblins and explained the importance of the sword to Korash, also saying the legitemacy of the sword holding primal ties is unconfirmed, but it is a powerful artifact that must be kept from evil. For about thirty more years, Korash continued his trining under the Guardian. Until simething came for the sword. A powerful evil came for Frostbrand, and the Guardian gave his life so that Korash may live, and escape with Frostbrand. Korash has taken the name of the Sword as his surname. Needing a way to provide for himself, he turned to adventuring. powers: Korash Frostbrand is a Warlock. Having a pretty good grasp on magic, due to years of training under the guardian. While he has a decent grasp on most magical forms, he personally excells at Abjuration and Evocation, with Frostbrand providing extra power for spells that deal withfrost or ice. other:
Frostbrand is an ancient magical relic. Many myths and legends feature the weapon in them. With some saying the sword was created by the gods, or the devil, or in some far off dimension. There are rumours that the wielder is immortal, but Korash knows that one to be false, as he saw the previous guardian die while wielding the sword. One thing is pretty constant in all the myths and legends though. Only a chosen hero, who is pure of heart can unlock the full powers of Frostbrand. Korash is not that person, and so can only unlock a fraction of what Frostbrand is truly capable of.
Below is a list of stories/myths/legends that refer to Frostbrand. It is not a comprehensive list, and are of varying degrees of accuracy. Some are likely to be true, while others are down right false. As a result, there may be some contradictions both of themselves, and preestablished lore.
Mirajeon's Theory of Creation - This old account from an elven scholar proposes the world was created not by Gods, by primordial Elemental Forces. That once creation was created, the Primordial Elements had to be sealed away, so the first beings, devised a way to trap the Primal Elements in objects, with Primal Ice trapped in Frostbrand.
The Siege of Dunstead Keep - Dunstead Keep was under siege for forty years, until a young squire managed to pull the sword from the stone in the middle of the Courtyard. Holding it aloft, he froze the entire enemy army.
Northvale Creation Myth - According to the Northvale Mythos, the north wasn't always a frozen wasteland. Instead, it was frostbrand that made it as such.
Demonomicron - The Demonomicron lists Frostbrand as one of the twelve weapons that can seal a rift to Hell.
Plane Travelers Guide - The Plane Traveler's Guide states that if unleashing its full potential, it can not only close interdimensional rifts, but create them as well.
