History: Raised in a poorer village of the country, Venator was orphaned before he could remember and raised in a communal orphanage owned by a neglectful and arrogant noble woman. To make ends meet, he turned to crime and he became a natural thief with his sharp, analytical mind and quick reflexes. He spent years breaking in and stealing valuables from the homes of nearby nobles until, age 12, his luck ran out and he was caught. Luckily, the man was a passing Knight who took pity on the boy and adopted him. He trained Venator as a knight, and he took to the training quickly.

He eventually became a wandering mercenary/bounty hunter, where he used his rewards to support himself and the village he came from. As a warrior, he was a skilled fighter and tactician with a kind heart, but was closed off and anti-social. He did whatever he could to support and protect the common man, but never stayed long enough to make friends. At the behest of his mentor/adoptive father, he accompanied the veteran Knight to the Announcement Ceremony but he wasn't expecting for his name to be called as the Knight of Darkness...

History:
Born to a nomadic hunting family, Alya has spent most of her life in the wilderness. She, along with her siblings, enjoyed exploring the wilderness and often got into trouble by being mistaken for bandits whenever they came across a travelling caravan. The stories that they had been told about the Knights of Elementia made them wonder if they could ever be granted such power, however Alya was rather disinterested as it seemed like something that would tie her down. Although she felt that if it were to happen, then she would just need to ‘go with the flow’.

Like the rest of her family and their ancestors, she was blessed with an animal guardian. While such things were mostly tradition and held no real magical power, Alya’s guardian slowly came to life much to the surprise of her family. They believed that she may actually be blessed. But such things didn’t truly change how her family lived, and it was merely seen as ‘fate’.

By the age of 19, Alya had separated from her family, choosing to find her own way in the world. She travelled continuously, moving from town to town learning more about the country in which she lived. When the Knights of Elementia were to be announced, she went to the city out of curiosity, wondering if her blessing may mean something more.
