Name: Garren
Race: Golem
Age: 47 (and of approximate mental age in regards to humans)
Sex: N/A
Description: Garren is a zealot Steelman, a heretic-hunter. Its armor is as clean as he can make it for the glory of the Heart. It wears a white mantle depicting a hand holding a downward-facing sword, the emblem of the zealots. Despite being a Steelman, Garren’s armor is not as bulky as others, more suited for solitary traveling. A large scar defaces its otherwise flawless armor, vertical from its left shoulder to his waist, but is mostly hidden by its mantle.
Biography: Garren is a zealot tasked with tracking a gangue, Golems who occupy the lowest societal rung, even below Tinmen. Gangue are named for the refuse or waste rock left over from mining, equating them to useless trash. Garren has traveled all over the continent, tracking down Gangue. His most recent charge has brought him to the multiracial nation of Leithandor.
Skills: Sword fighting, hand to hand combat. Has been known to demonstrate enhanced resilience of magical origin in high-stress situations, but has not shown any conscious control over any magicks.
Equipment: Garren wears a longsword and has had steel spikes implanted into his knuckles. Two long knives are hidden in its legs, strapped to the interior, with the end of either hilt barely visible.
Other: Not as big a fan of organics as he lets on (which isn't a lot)

Name: Keenan
Race: Human
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Description: Keenan is of average height, and athletic build from his years in the wilderness. Keenan has black hair and stubble. Keenan is a human from the Veilwood, a wild region north of Leithandor, where no formal society exists save for small villages hidden in the Veilwood’s dark forests. Keenan has golden-colored eyes like most Veilwoods humans, and an intricate tattoo that covers his left arm. He wears a combo of leather and chainmail and a hood.
Biography: Keenan grew up in a small village deep in the Veilwoods with his parents and sister. Like most young men in his village he was a hunter and often ventured deep into the Wood in search of food as well as explore the mysterious region that they inhabited. The humans of the Veilwoods have grown up apart from their native civilization, and it reflects in both their culture and their physical appearance. The Veilwoods have long been infamous as a land connected to the mysterious Fae. The veilwoods themselves are affected by this proximity, often trapping travelers to never be seen again. The humans of the Veilwood are believed to have intermingled with the Fae, which resulted in their golden-colored eyes and unnatural affinity for woodcraft. The people of the Veilwood have long accepted the strangeness of their homeland, that something supernatural and often deadly could happen to them. One day after a hunt Keenan returned to his village to find that his home had simply vanished without a trace. Without a goal or anyplace to go Keenan ventured south to Leithandor.
Skills: Keenan is a ranger, a master marksman and trapper, who can all but vanish in woodlands due to his skills and Veilman blood. His skill with knives, while nowhere near as good as his marksmanship, is still rather deadly.
Equipment: His bow and quiver, a pair of curved daggers.
Other: He tends to keep to himself, the business of the kingdom tending to overwhelm him.

Biography: Lia grew up among the Szel’Jaetekko, the K’orm Szel that settled near and integrated into Leithandor. Despite being a permanent settlement in the kingdom, the Jaetekko K’orm still maintain an insular society and do not often venture beyond their Ar’kareth settlement. Lia is one of the few to ever venture beyond her home, doing so in hope of gaining more experience with the world around her.
Skills: Lia is a skilled magitech user, with the ability to wield the wonderous magical devices of the K’orm as well as interface with and control other forms of magic.
Equipment: Her knife and her Aethergloves, K’orm devices used as magitch machines that can shoot bolts of magic, or harness control of magical devices.
Other: Lia grew up with an extreme curiosity of the outside world, and a frustration towards the insular nature of her people. She is intensely curious and often wonderment at seemingly normal things that the outside world offers.

Name: Renshu Malpaur
Race: Half-elf
Age: 28 (equivalent of 23 for humans)
Sex: Male
Description: Renshu is rather handsome for a monk, and even considered above average for half-elves. He has short black hair that is usually spiked upwards, as well as black stubble. His eyes are a steely blue, and his ears are more pointed than the average half-elf. He wears simple white and black robes with red-orange and gold accents. These robes are made of thin cotton, giving him maximum mobility. He is shorter than the average human male (around five feet, six inches) which aids him as a monk by making him more agile and stealthy.
Biography: Renshu was born to a Romeo-and-Juliet-esque pairing. His father, a human, fell for his mother, an elf, and the father’s family would not stand for intermixing of humans and elves. They continued to meet in secret, unable to get rid of their feelings for one another. Eventually, a child was conceived, and upon discovering this, the father’s family put him to death for shaming the family. The elf mother’s family took her in and helped her to raise the child. Being a half-elf, Renshu grew quicker than his peers, making it hard to keep friends. The older elven children looked at him as a freak. He never truly fit in anywhere. Renshu lived almost his entire life within the walls of the monastery in Tal'edhel, the capital of the elven nation of Eldamar. Once his training was complete, he headed to Leithandor and its capital city, Evermeet.
Skills: Renshu is a Monk of the Four Winds from the monastery of Tal'edhel. As such, he is well versed in the ways of unarmed combat, preferring his body to fight rather than forged weapons. As a learner of the Fist of the Four Winds technique, he is able to channel elemental power (fire, earth, air (as lightning), and water (as ice)) into his attacks. This also allows him to channel the element of wind to fall great distances without coming to harm. However, extremely high falls and drops are still likely to harm or even kill him.
Due to his training he is capable of almost complete control over his immune system, aiding in resisting poisons and staving off diseases, both natural and magical in respects to both. With his training being at an elven monastery, he has learned to commune with nature, give him the magical ability to speak with forest creatures.
As a monk, he was trained in the art and practice of meditation. As a result he is able to move his sensory awareness from the physical plane of existence...somewhere else. Even he is not sure where his senses go during this process.
Due to his being a half-elf, he was able to learn skills outside of his monastic discipline. He spent hours with the clerics, paladins, and priests of the Seldarine and learned the ways of healing magic.
Equipment: His monk robes, enchanted handwraps made from golden thread (given to him by his master, who called them Antipode; Renshu is still unsure of what the name means or what powers lie within the seemingly ordinary pieces of cloth), and a backpack with provisions (mostly rice and other bland staple foods
Other: As a half-elf, he is looked down upon as a person within elven society (with the exception of his family, of course). Almost any elf that encounters him will never address him by his name, instead using the elven slur for half-elves il'poika, meaning "not pure".

Name: Ka'lem Strongblade
Race: Half-Khatsie
Age: 25 (Roughly equivalent to a 20 year old human)
Sex: Male
Description: Slightly long, black hair (same color for the fur on his ears and tail, of course), grey eyes, around six feet tall, average build, and a relatively long, thin tail. Though half-Khatsie grow beards much more quickly than humans, Ka'lem keeps his face cleanly shaved.
Biography: Ka'lem was born to two military parents- a human woman descending from a long line of soldiers, and a male Khatsie, who entered the Siradir military in following with Khatsie tradition, then entered Leithandor's military after moving there. Both of his parents are Dragoons, defending Evermeet and its Council. They trained both of their sons daily in both weaponry and survival skills, though after turning fifteen years old, Ka'lem's older brother left home to become an apprentice to a travelling merchant, and now travels across Leithandor peddling his wares. Recently, Ka'lem has decided that he wishes to follow in his parents' footsteps and enlist in Leithandor's army.
Skills: Though he has yet to undergo any actual military training, he has learned from his parents how to use various types of weapons, as well as how to cook, hunt, and provide first aid.
Equipment: He doesn't currently have any personal equipment, though his parents own a stockpile of weapons, as well as some armor.
Other: Once I start developing his personality, I'll probably keep track of traits, likes, and dislikes here, as well as any notable accomplishments.

Name: Selmareth Istalindir Race: Elf Age: 143 (Equivalent to a 23-year-old human) Sex: Male Description: Selmareth, being an elf, is slightly shorter than the average human (around five feet, nine inches). His black hair is worn long, usually in a ponytail that reaches just above the shoulder blades; however he usually lets it flow freely when meeting with his colleagues and other nobles as a statement of his station. His skin is on the lighter side of the typical bronze color for elves, and his eyes a brighter emerald than most. The robes he was awarded at graduation are a bright emerald green (almost like his eyes) around the torso area, but the sleeves and area below the waist are a darker green. Thick strips of golden fabric ornament the robes in swirling patterns, and there are somewhat of a vest and shoulder pads, a white-ish gold and true gold respectively, that he added as a form of armor since the robes themselves provide none. The vest portion is pinned closed by a brooch of pure gold in the shape of a reversed tear drop just at the bottom of his sternum. Whether this brooch has any magical capabilities is yet to be seen. Biography: Selmareth was born to nobility among the elves as well as to high-ranking parents in the city's social hierarchy, his father a magister and his mother a high priestess. His parents both noticed an affinity for the arcane at an early age, and since he seemed to enjoy casting the cantrips his father taught him, they decided to enroll him in Eldamar's academy to become a wizard. He entered the school at age twenty-three and spent a total of 120 years in the academy. As a student of magic, he was required to spend sixty years in Istimamen'Selu (the School of Magical Arts), forty years in Istimamen'Amandil (the School of the Seldarine), and twenty years in Istimamen'Ohtar (the School of Melee). Upon graduation, he received his robes and staff, which he named Twilight. After celebrating with his parents, he decided to be off to the libraries of Evermeet to learn of the cultures he wasn't taught about at the Academy. Skills: His main weapon in combat is his spells (usually tied to the elements and necromancy (the power to create undead minions and manipulate life force, both restoring and draining; he is capable of simple veiling illusions as well) with his preferred being elemental magic; he is also very fond of attacking with bursts and blasts of pure arcane energy). However, thanks to his training at Ohtar, he is very competent with using his staff in melee if the need arises. Equipment: His staff, Twilight (the name was given by him after it was awarded at graduation from Selu), which is enchanted to empower his spells and make them more potent; his robes awarded to him at graduation from Selu; his spellbooks, which contains all the incantations and materials needed for any of his spells; and a backpack in which he keeps his spellbooks as well as any provisions needed for travelling (food, bedroll, etc.) Other: Selmareth is one of the few elves that isn't completely against the idea of mixing the elven race with others, as well as being less arrogant than most.

Name: Cen'tho Strongblade
Race: Half-Khatsie
Age: 32 (Roughly equivalent to a 26 year old human)
Sex: Male
Description: Medium-length dark-brown hair (same color for the fur on his ears and tail, of course), brown eyes, slightly over six feet tall, relatively thin, and an average-length thin tail. Cen'tho keeps a neatly trimmed balbo beard.
Biography: Cen'tho's history is much the same as Ka'lem's, until the point when the former left home to learn the way of the trader. Though some had been expecting him to join the military, as he was the eldest son of two career soldiers, his parents never put any pressure on him (aside from the daily training, though that was as much a sort of "family bonding" as it was preparation for life), and when he revealed his desire to become a merchant they supported him, and even helped him to find a good master. He acquired his own cart and horse and began travelling throughout Leithandor peddling his wares, hoping to meet as many different people as possible before making enough money to open up a shop within Evermeet. He spends one week out of every year at home, and he tells his brother tales of all the different people he met during his travels. Two years ago, he found a Khatsie woman collapsed by the side of the road. He helped her, and quickly discovered that she had a sharp wit and an excellent memory. The two became business partners, and have been traveling together since.
Skills: He learned from his parents how to use various types of weapons, as well as how to cook, hunt, and provide first aid. Additionally, he has an eye for business and can be very charismatic.
Equipment: His gold, the clothes on his back, and his merchandise.
Other: Once I start developing his personality, I'll probably keep track of traits, likes, and dislikes here, as well as any notable accomplishments.
