Name: Riley Johnson

Age: 16

Deck Type: Evolsaur

Ace Card: Evolsaur Terias

Personality: Riley is a hot-blooded, raring-to-go history buff who loves getting right into it just as much as she loves old things. Her favorite parts of history are the parts where there is no history, back when dinosaurs walked the earth and humans were anywhere from advanced apes to men in caves with stone weapons. She's not overly fond of all these modern nice things, wishing she could somehow go back in time to when if you could make fire, you were a genius.

Name: Headmaster Aksel Kolman

Age: 76

Deck Type: Monarch

Spirit Partner: None

Ace Card: Raiza the Mega Monarch

Frequent Cards: Primitive Butterfly, The First Monarch, Plaguespreader Zombie, Caius the Shadow Monarch

Personality: The headmaster of Circle City's Duel Academy isn't a position that can be given to just anybody. It takes a special quality, or rather, several special qualities to take up this prestigious position. Headmaster Kolman's got these qualities in spades. Boasting seemingly infinite patience, a bottomless reserve of advice, and a willingness to meet students on their own level, the local headmaster makes his students his number-one priority, even if it may not always look that way. And of course, he's always ready to duel at a moment's notice if challenged, though he never issues any challenges of his own.

He's a firm believer that training the body is just as important - if not more important - than training the mind, which shows in his physical condition, even at his age. Exercise is important for an old man, he says, though his training regime is unknown; one of his "old man's secrets", as he says. Headmaster Kolman is also known to love animals, especially ones that fly. He can usually be seen with his pet hawk, known as Captain. The headmaster's ideal future is one where advanced civilization and nature live in perfect harmony without either one sacrificing its integrity.

Bio: Some say that the old always have a great story to tell. In the case of Headmaster Aksel Kolman, this can't possibly be more true. His origins pointing back to a small farming town, Aksel at a young age picked up the game of Duel Monsters with a shoddy Winged Beast deck. He lost a great many duels before deciding to center his deck more around his ace monster of the time: Raiza the Storm Monarch. With the modified deck meant to summon Raiza, Aksel began winning. "This," he decided. "This shall be my deck." Over time, Aksel's Winged Beast deck slowly evolved into a Monarch deck. This was just the start of his story.

Fast-forward some time. Beginning at the age of 20, Aksel became a record holder at the Duel Monsters World Championship. His record? Earn the title of World Champion, and hold that title for ten consecutive years. From the ages of 20 to 30, Aksel was seen as the greatest, summoning forth his Monarchs and using their abilities to render every opposing play that much harder. However, times began changing. Newer, more powerful decks and archetypes were on the rise. Though he is still revered by those old enough to know of his story, Aksel lost his World Champion title at the age of 31. His time of glory had now passed, he realized. All that was left was to pass his wisdom on to the younger duelists. Some time later, at the age of 46, Aksel took up the mantle of the headmaster of Circle City's Duel Academy.

He's been here ever since, monitoring and teaching since before the students (and even a fair bit of the staff) were even born, passing his wisdom down to the newer generation of duelists. But it seems there's trouble stirring in the world. This Spirit World Collision can't be just a natural phenomena. As much as he would love to investigate it himself, Aksel feels his old body and mind are no longer suited to perform such a task. And so, he'll be sending others instead...
