Godric was raised in solitude by his mother, living a quiet life tending the land with no knowledge of his true heritage. Their days were simple but harsh, and though his mother showed him great love, she kept a guarded secret.

Boots started in the city’s backrooms as a runner for small-time crooks, quietly realising he was already thinking circles around the people bossing him around.

Miec was raised in a noble elven household where tradition mattered more than choice. His world shifted once the family’s head guard began training him and he discovered he was far more capable than anyone expected.

When Kaj discovered he could bend raw elements with sheer will, he took it as a sign that legends weren’t born, they were self-declared and then lived into. He travels now as a problem-solver and occasional chaos-starter, pulling fire from the air and metal from forgotten scrap.

Born in The Underdark beneath the Moonsea, K’Elley C’Larkson came into the world as the result of a scandal - a Drow matron’s fleeting fascination with a Halfling smuggler. Never fully accepted by either world, he learned early that cleverness keeps you fed better than pride.

Hailing from the Feywilds, Sarissa once served the Summer Court in an undisclosed role. To mortals, she may seem carefree and naive - a result of her unfamiliarity with mortal concerns, especially those involving modesty.

Yu hails from a quiet island of tortles who live by the tides and stories of dragons said to have shaped the seas. Unlike his kin, he sought proof rather than legend - chasing the traces dragons leave on the land itself.

Tarvald Steelfist grew up in Emerald Run - his talent for artifice earned him an apprenticeship under enchanter Beckenhower, who became both mentor and father figure. Inspired by Chand, Tarvald forged his arcane armor and was later sent to Cinderburg for the Eldersoul Festival.

Avalon was forged for conquest but tempered by faith - a relic of steel and fury given purpose. His emerald-scaled armor and black steel shield mark him as both guardian and executioner.

Known throughout the family for his string of failed ventures and overblown confidence, Antonius survived for years on charm and his late mother’s favouritism. But with her gone, that shield disappeared too.

Kalios learned early that laughter was a better mask than silence. Once a wandering musician among the revels of the Feywild, his songs caught the ear of a forgotten archfey - one who traded magic for memory.

Aloyd “Growing Darkness” Wentz is a young artificer with too much imagination and not nearly enough supervision. Donning a helmet that makes his voice deep and ominous, he unleashes his half-baked inventions upon Aridannos in the name of villainy.

Rukk was forged in the thin air of the Cloudspine Peaks, where storms roll like drums. From her youth she trained her lungs as fiercely as her arms - roaring during thunderstorms, daring the echoes to shout back louder.

Once a benevolent ruler who sought eternal prosperity for her kingdom, Queen Beatrice refused to let her reign end in death. In secret, she turned to forbidden arts, binding her soul to phylacteries and ascending as a lich to preserve her dominion.

Dakar is a relentless force of vengeance sworn to purge his own kin and all who traffic in slavery. Stoic and disciplined, he speaks rarely - but every word lands with the weight of loss and conviction.

Calliope was raised by the Fey Mother, who found her as a curious little pink blob and nurtured her amid laughter, song, and wild magic. Now, lifting her gaze from her diary, her eyes shine with that same fey-born fire.

Born a bastard of his house, Elexander had to earn everything - from the food on his plate to the clothes on his back. His hunger for power led him into the shadows, where he forged a pact with the lich Meraxis. She despised him, yet saw his potential and sought to exploit it.

Raata was cast out of his monastery for his furious temper - a fire that no amount of meditation could tame. Now alone, he walks the world in search of balance, striving to master the storm within and discover what true peace means beyond temple walls.

Chad is a cheerful, adventure-hungry ranger with a boundless love for excitement and discovery. He’s quick to laugh and even quicker to leap into a fight - guided by a boyish, act-first-think-later spirit that keeps every day unpredictable.

Sik is the team’s tiny shadow - always a step behind, always ready to help. He dives headfirst into danger - not to fight, but to save - mending wounds and keeping his friends on their feet through sheer willpower.

Darklight is a stoic, no-nonsense gunslinger who lives by precision and patience. He travels light and speaks less, guided by instinct and the steady rhythm of his rifle’s aim.

A larger-than-life performer with a taste for drama and sweets, Garrok carries his strength with an easy warmth that disarms even the most guarded audience. Beneath his confidence lies a genuine soul - an artist who plays with surprising tenderness.

Bound together in every realm, Cade and Autumn face each adventure side by side. Cade is a steady and dependable artificer whose craft and composure keep everything running smoothly, while Autumn, a druid with a quiet but unpredictable spirit, brings warmth and spontaneity.
