Michael Ashton (Humanoid Male) -- Childish Pyromaniac
Age: 17 Height: 5' 9" Weight: 157 lbs.
Mike has longer, shaggy black hair that he keeps stuffed underneath a backwards red ball cap as much as possible, and medium blue eyes. While he is 17, his face still has a certain softness that makes him appear a year or two younger than he is (the fact that he is neither muscular nor skinny enhances this appearance a bit). His favorite set of clothing is a red T-shirt and jean sorts, along with a comfortable pair of black hi-tops. He usually appears to be amazingly dense to what's going on around him in life (when he doesn't have a childish sense of excitement around him), but whether that's just him, or because of the tragedy that has occured in his life, is unclear. In battle, he wields a baseball bat (and later a spiked mace) with great skill, and is also well-versed in the realm of fire magic.



Naomi Saunders (Humanoid Female) -- Battle Mage
Age: 18 Height: 5' 4" Weight: 112 lbs.
Naomi is a complex person. Though she can be sweet at times, in most cases her hard-edged, short-tempered, explosive personality shines through. She's quick to snap at somebody if they start getting smart with her. Her hair, which is mostly golden blonde, with a fair amount of reddish highlights, comes down to her shoudlers, and frames her face rather nicely when it isn't pulled back into a ponytail, as it usually is. Her bangs may or may not be partially hiding her brilliant emerald green eyes, which have an eerie calm in them no matter how angry she might get. Her body shape is one of someone who is well curved, but keeps themselves in shape. Originally she wears a white tank top, cargo shorts that reach halfway betweeen her waist and her knee, and brown sandals that cover most of her feet. However, when she meets up with Sandy and ends up staying the night over her house, she ends up borrowing a dark blue tanktop, and that becomes her new shirt. In battle, she is quite proficient with a boomerang, devastating with lightning magic, and pretty good with healing magic, too.



Matt G. (Humanoid Male) -- Young Man / Prophesized Hero(?)
Age: 20 Height: 6'2" Weight: 200 lbs.
Matt, along with his dog, Indy, hails from a parallel Earth that is very similar to ours. One day, while taking his dog for a walk, a series of strange, and rather painful events begin that draw him into the story. He has very short, dark blonde hair that is usually pushed forward, and green eyes which have been known to run a shade of colors from hazel to blue-green. He's built rather sturdily without any heavy muscle, and prefers khaki pants, white cross-trainers (the sneakers that only cover up to your ankle), and usually A dark green T-shirt. While he originally starts without any armor (he lives on present-day alternate-Earth, for crying out loud), he is gifted with a chainmail shirt after agreeing to help Arisa and the rest of the dragoons on Paradiso Muerto. Matt is usually pretty laid back and easy-going, but will get angry if he sees anyone being bullied about, and is sometimes shy around a girl he finds attractive. He's been known to wield both a sword and a shield (long sword and buckler, which is a smaller, round shield), as well as a katana, and is very good at using both of them. After leaving Earth, his latent powers begin to awaken, and he is a decent caster of both Water and Ice magic.



Indy (Canine Male) -- Faithful Companion
Age: 6 Height: 2'4" Weight: 48 lbs.
Indy is Matt's faithful dog, and would gladly follow him anywhere, especially if it entails going for a walk. He's a cross between a german sheperd and a collie. His fur is long and soft, and he has pointed, yet fuzzy, ears. The majority of his fur is black, but he has a tan stripe along the bridge of his nose, tan paws, and his underbelly and undertail are white. His bark is surprisingly deep for a dog his size, and he knows a variety of tricks.



Sandra Landcaster (Felinoid Female) -- Fighter / Warrior / Elementalist
Age: 19 Height: 5'6" Weight: 107 lbs.
Sandy originally hails from the steamy, tepid planet of Vespa, which is mostly covered in dense, lush jungles. While she is still mostly human in appearance, Sandy is a catgirl, and as such, her bones are less dense than those of a human, and she weighs roughly 10-20 pounds less than a human of her size and weight would. Her figure is rather slender, that of one who is athletic, as opposed to one who builds up alot of muscle. She has long, red hair that reaches down to the middle of her back, which she usually wears in a loose ponytail (some hair in the ponytail, the rest of it loose), and sparkling violet eyes. Her hands and feet are the same as a human's, with the exception of her claws, which are roughly an inch long and retractable (they come out right underneath where our fingernails end, at the end of our fingers), and the fact that she has cat ears sticking out at the top of her head, rather than human ears, and she has a tail, which is about 18 inches long. Both are covered in a soft, light tan fur that is marked with dark stripes. When Naomi first met her in the midsts of Tartia Jungle, she was wearing a dark red woven shirt (which, given the weather, was clinging to her body with sweat), a leather skort (skirt and shorts combination, with the skirt part slit nearly up to the hip for ease of movement), and matching leather boots that rose up to her knees. however, after the two spend the night at her house, she changes into a green silken, button-up blouse with long, transparent sleeves, taking care to pack both a purple tanktop and a leather jacket in her pack before they set off for the mysterious tower. Sandy can be bit of a flirt at times, and she has a LOT of trouble not viewing people who aren't like her as equals (she cops a "better-than-you" attitude for quite a while). She's also hyperactive to boot, which makes it even harder for her and Naomi to get along, but somehow, they manage..most of the time. In battle, she's deadly with a great-axe and an amazing hand to hand fighter. She also knows how to cast magic from the realms of fire, ice, water, lightning, wind, AND earth, but she's not very proficient with any of them and increases her skill with them much slower than the rest of the team does with their magics.


Kelvin Barbadis (Half-Elf Male) -- Vanguard / Slayer
Age: 35 (equal to a 22 year old human) Height: 5'7" Weight: 149 lbs.
Kelvin grew up training in the Florentine (long sword and short sword) style of fighting. He had started down the path, coached by his father, at the the tender age of ten. This continued for twenty years, ending after Kelvin received the title of "Blade Specialist" and took a palce at his father's side in the wars against the foul demons that plagued the world of Alerra. This took a strain on his personal life, however, a point drove painfully home after Kelvin, who had been seriously injured during an all-out battle, was a day late getting back to him and his girlfriend Morgan's "Promise Spot", where he was supposed to formally propose to her that day, as they had planned. He camped out there for a week, but never caught sight of her. Downtrodden, he returned home to a mother who nagged him and a sister with a mysterious boyfriend who only came around at night.Suspsicious from the start, Kelvin decided to tag along after his sister, Alyssa, who had another late night date with Broderick. His worst fears were confirmed as the guy bent over to bite her neck during what she thought was a semi-passionate makeout session. Kelvin lept out of his hiding place, trying to save her, but the vampire just yelled "Fool!" and bitchsmacked him down to the ground, where he hit his head and lost consciousness. Kelvin awoke the next morning to find his sister's lifeless body next to him, its throat slashed deep, and her blood on him. Suspicions ran high in the town, but no one openly accused him of doing it. The funeral was held that day, and, exhausted from grief and lack of sleep, Kelvin fell into his bed. He was awoke not long after nightfall to the screams of townspeople and the acrid smell of burning flesh. He raced out of his house to see tons of zombies and demons stalking the living. At the center of the chaos was his sister. He tried to get close,but the monsters closed in and attempted to make him another dinner. He was saved by her, as she picked him up by the throat, and said to him, "He's got grand plans for us, brother. Grand plans." and then tossed him aside like a rag doll. When he awoke in the morning, there was nothing left of the town but charred bits of ash and bones. right then and there, he pledged a vow to rid the land of the evil vampire lord and the demons who followed him, and also save his sister if possible. Kelvin's easily identifiable by his short, silverish blue, spiky hair and his golden eyes, which are highly unusual. He has a lean build that conceals his strength rather well. Kelvin wears all black, and wields a long sword, which is coated in silver, in his right hand, and a short sword, which had been enchanted with runes that can drain the life force of a demon, weakening them severely, in his left. Kelvin knows no magic, but has mastered a wide variety of techniques involving his blades.


Arisa Mai Hong (Draconess Female) -- Lunar Dragoon
Age: 22 Height: 5'6" Weight: 152 lbs. fav. color: Coral
Arisa is living on the aptly-named planet Paradiso Muerto (translation: Dying Paradise), and serving as a Lunar Dragoon. She fights with these proud Dragon Knights in an effort to make her parents proud, who, while they have never said she was a disappointment, have also never openly praised her. The dragoons are the last force of resistance on the planet that oppose the ever-spreading plague of undead that is a bane to the continued existence of the living. Legends had spoken of a "boy and his furred companion" that would help save them from the liches and their underlings, and whether Matt and Indy are really them or not, she jumped at the chance to recruit them for the cause, the three eventually leading a strike force against the main castle, which the lich had taken over. Arisa has light pink hair which she constantly has braided, and amber-colored eyes that denote an air of sadness. She wears a simple, long, neutral-colored skirt, and one of several button-up blouses whenever she's around the Dragoon base. She's soft-spoken most of the time, and prefers to play follower over playing leader. However, she will fiercely fight for something she believes in, to the point of becoming a whole new person on the battle field, where she is deadly with both a spear and a shield, or a massive, two-handed lance. She wears full-plate dark purple body armor, including an armet, in battle, and years of training, as well as her background, have allowed her to momentarily defy gravity, leaping up to 50 or 60 feet in the air, to land on an enemy, spear/lance-first, without causing harm to herself (her leg muscles are immensely strong, and though she doesn't fully understand it, she uses a mostly-unknown type of magic to enhance her jumping prowess and soften her own fall--to her, but not to the foe). Arisa is very good at using both Light-based (known as Holy-type in some places) and healing/restorative magics.


Erika Synegald (Kindred Female) -- Ninja
Age: ?? Height: 5' 3" Weight: Roughly 120 lbs, though it's hard to tell
Erika's history is a highly different, and troubled one. Though she doesn't care to talk much about it, her father was a demon, and her mother a human--which gives rise to a fair amount of tension between her and Kelvin when they first meet up. She looks exactly as any other person of humanoid descent would, save for her eyes, which are a chaotic mix of red and dark pink. Though she's rather calm, almost to the point of calculating, there is a troubled, seething rage that boils deep within her. Whether it is becauser she suffered ridicule as a child, or the fact that ALL demons are being persecuted as mindless, horrid monsters (granted, most are, but her father had been living peacefully within their town for nearly 10 years before the church decided to "take action against the heretics" and strike him down, wiping out a quarter of the village in the process, though he offered no protest and was taken out in cold blood) is unknown. His presence there also kept the other, more chaotic demons away--they recognized it as his territory and let him grant the "Filthy humans" of the town quarter. Once her father's protection and influence was gone, though, the other demons quickly moved in, slaying the rest of the village. Erika survived only because she had a blind eye turned towards her. Left on her own at the tender age of 12 (or at least, that's how old she appeared to be at the time), she quickly learned to survive in the shadows, sludging her way through several cold winters that should've killed any normal person. Of course, Erika could hardly be defined as normal. She had inherited a unique resistance to extreme heat and cold from her father, as well as the ability to see in very low light, and enhanced reflexes--her speed is only matched or outdone by Sandy and Indy. She once came across a lone ninja who was returning to their clan after an assassination, and, after begging for them to listen to her, told them her tale. Oddly moved by it, they agreed to take her in, and her training started from there. She quickly mastered knives and daggers, the dexterous, flowing movements required to wield them
going along perfectly with her own strengths. She also became quite adept at using shriukens, but she tries not to use them, instead preferring to get in close for the kill. Erika also learned several types of illusional ninjitsu along the course of her training, and began to become aware of how to cast several types of enfeebling magics as well. It was her decade or so of training with this clan, on top of having her father ruthlessly slaughtered in front of her, that made her somewhat emotionally detached (She still has emotions, but she tries, somewhat unsuccessfully, to hide them.) She was actually out on her own, looking for clues in her old village for any sign of the demons that had razed it, when she came across Kelvin being attacked by some undead that were loyal to the local vampire lord, Broderick, who was in league with the church that she despised so much. It was the potential ally that she saw in Kelvin that made her decide to help him out, and then the two began to journey together. After getting through some initial uneasiness, the two become almost inseperable, fighting alongside each other as best friends. Erika wears a blue and black gi with an orange sash around the middle, extremely short, yet fitting cotton shorts that are covered by her gi, and leather boots. Her hair, which is violet-blue, is close cut, except for two longer sets of strands that hang on either side of her face.



Deston Bulmari (Humanoid Male) -- Planeswalker
Age: 33 Height: 6'4" Weight: 225 lbs.
Deston is one of the last remaining Planeswalkers, and the only one still stationed on Dema. The Planeswalkers are a group of people dedicated to helping the forces of good triumph over the forces of evil in any given galaxy, and they also possess a unique ability. They were originally started by the G.O.R.D., or Gargantuan Optical-based Research Device, an robotic entity of unknown origin. Deston works alongside it while on Dema, but has also worked with Arisa's father, and is mildly acquainted with her. Like most other planeswalkers, Deston uses a staff in battle. However, this staff has been enchanted so that he may open portals in dimensional-space with it, arriving at whatever destination he has chosen within mere minutes of leaving. Of course, reclosing these portals is a priority, or else the very fabric of reality may begin to unravel. Deston can cast both earth-based and healing magics. He wears his hair up in the most manly ponytail possible, and wears the dark-blue robes representative of his Planeswalking sect. He is rather well-known for being either a debonair, generous ladies' man or a stuck-up perverted pig, depending on which female you happen to talk to.


Leila Morgannis (Humanoid Female) -- Pirate Captain
Age: 27 Height: 5'7" Weight: 138 lbs.
Leila was a enterprising young woman who managed to claim a ship of her own at the age of 16. By 21, she was captain. She has traveled the world many times, looking for many old pirate treasure hoards and making cargo runs. She has men's respect and fear after a huge fight between her and Frishan, who was reportedly the world's best swordsman (she lives on a planet where women are still considered inferior to men.)They were equal until he cheated and kicked her in the chest, sending her sprawling into a granite table, whose corner gauged a large, moon-shaped wound around her right eye. He stood there laughing at her. When she got back up, not crying, not a whimper or a peep, the entire bar got quiet. In shock, Frishan offered no resistance as the bloody maiden ran him through. She saved Mike from a deadly barroom brawl, and has hired him in exchange for taking him to somebody that may help him. Leila is often calm and collected, preferring to take a logical and businesslike approach to solving her problems. It takes a lot to get her riled up, and no amount of insults can sway her or anger her.
