Height: 6'2"
Weight: 213 lbs.
Race: Unknown
Class: Swordsman/Sharpshooter Synergy
Morale: Emotionless on most occasions, shows no remorse

Weapons and Apparel- Graphine Composite Saber and Automatic Laser Handgun. Sword is usually in it's sheath, even when in battle, and only pulled out when using it, putting it back in every swipe or parry. Gun has it's own holster as well, put is usually in the hands of the Rider ready to be shot at any moment. When up close, not having range combat, will replace normal manner of gun only style with sword only style. He can charge a shot with the handgun to do even more damage, and will stun the enemy, takes about 4 seconds to charge fully. Sword is very light and maneuverable, yet stable and sharp, glows with power, and increasing it's damage further. Laser Handgun shoots laser balls, charged shot shoots big ball. Can charge a swipe of his sword to "teleport" 15 ft. and do much more damage than usual. (Teleport is different to dash, he can be hit by projectiles/melee attacks if his path intercepts them.) His torso and legs are made of an unknown material, very strong, and won't break, but doesn't do much to protect. Hands, Feet, Head are all made of normal human bits. Red cloak that covers mouth area and shoulders, drapes down to Stranger's feet.

(Auto Laser Handgun)

(Graphene Composite Saber)


Appearance- His chest has cracks of power that flow through it. Long, white hair flows in the wind, just like his read cape that conceals his expressionless face. Wears short "cargo" shorts with his scabbard and holster. Power lines outline areas that would be different muscles in a normal human body.

Physical Abilities/Skills- The Stranger's total strength is yet unknown, but seen from his feats, it would seem to be up there. His top running speed is 73mph. He can parry melee attacks if they are slow enough, probably couldn't parry a dagger, but definitely could parry an axe or a hammer, these attacks restore a small amount of The Stranger's health. The Stranger can also dash about 10 ft. and when he does, he can dodge all attacks, and can charge a dodge to go even further. He is extremely adept with firing his sword and his gun, and can aim and slash very skillfully. Legends say that when he fought The Edge, the sounds of swords whizzing and clashing could be heard for miles. His corruption rots and withers at the ground around him, destroying all life.


Personality- The Stranger lacks any semblance of personality. This is most likely caused by his heart beating at 8bpm. Throughout his journey, he is completely silent, with the occasional grunts of exertion. At the start of his journey, he is highly aggressive, but he learned to be more passive, and wait to see the enemy was hostile before attack.

Background- The first time the player sees The Stranger, he is being tortured and held captive by The Chain. As The Chain leaves, the mysterious bunny masked prisoner The Voice frees him and tells him to kill his jailor for his freedom. As The Stranger proceeds down the prison, killing all Guardians in his way, he begins to learn things about his past. In particular, the Stranger learns that he's being held with such high security because he's done "some bad things" in the Free World, becoming very apparent when The Scale refers to him as his "creator".

The Stranger shows hesitation before dealing the killing blow to The Song, causing The Voice to say that it gave him "hope".

Upon finally killing every Guardian who stood in his way, The Stranger and The Voice were free to leave. On reaching the Free World, The Stranger realized that his very presence corrupted the ground around him, withering plants and blackening dirt. Realizing that he is a being that never did belong in the Free World, The Stranger locates a metal suit in a tower, and flies it skyward, aboard a large Mothership who addresses him as "Rider". The Mothership asks him if the planet is fit for assimilation.

The Stranger answers no, he turns his guns on the Mothership, eventually destroying it and saving the Free World from assimilation. As it dies, the Mothership tells The Stranger that he can't prevent this forever. He wanders now, looking for the next chapter in life.

Cue Theme

Name: Halen Vayne-Claymore
Appearance:
Age: 78 (around 26 in his half elven life span years)
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Elf
Rank: Hired Mecernary Initiate
Personality: Halen's viciously tough life has shaped him many times. Born with resentment in his heart and always touted as an outcast he learned very early that he would have to look out for himself. Also in his storied career as a beast hunter has made him somewhat animal like in nature, being very in-tune with his natural surrounding and having to think like a beast to track them. Recently though he has found relative peace in his heart since getting married to his new wife
whose name he took proudly. So as a husband who is now thinking of starting a family he carries himself in a more respectful and humble manner although the nasiter sides of his personality will rear their head occasionally.

Bio: Halen was born in land (or realm) much different to the one he currently finds himself in. He is the illegitimate offspring of an Elven Queen mother and a Beserker Human Father. The circumstances of his conception are widely known to be rape (when the beserker came and attacked the kingdom). The Queen decided to keep the child and give birth to half elf boy who the kingdom hated, not just for his human blood (humans were forbidden from the realm) but for the horrible event which his very existence represented. Because of this his mother was forced to exile him and her first son and Halen's older brother Redswift (who was meant to be king) Decided to leave in disgust of the elven kingdom's politics and find his own way and maybe also reunite with his brother. Halen had a long and storied career after being outcasted that cant be covered here but he became a very famous and powerful beast hunter and occasional mercenary and was able to come to terms with his half elven heritage and once meeting his also Half Elven wife Malorie he decided to carry his heritage with pride.

Now he wants to find his brother Redswift who is on a personal journey to learn more about the elven people from other lands other than the closed off community he was born in. Redswift had traveled to Talmaria as a royal envoy to speak with the politicians at the Relastmina din Unadine for more information and the possibility of forming a relationship with his own secret elven kingdom which he left to build bridges with other elfs for a brighter future.

Halen has now offered his skills to the Templars as a hired initiate. He hopes to not only bring peace to his soul by doing righteous work but also to locate his brother along the way.

Weapons:
-Large 2-Handed Claymore Sword forged by Chaos Dwarves

-Elven Bow with special beast-killer arrows

-Brass knuckles made from Orca scales

Magic: Cryomancy Expert (the only magic Halen has ever learned and practiced)

Other: Halen is still a hunter and carries many tools and traps to catch any animal and most beasts, this includes nets, poisons, rope, snares, and bait. Halen has been hunting beasts for nearly 60 years and has basically killed or captured every mythological, rare or dangerous creature you can think of which has given him an encyclopedia style knowledge on all living things and how to handle them.

Theme Song:

Name: Rodetta The Red
Age:26
Height:5'10
Weight:158 lbs

Appearance:
Abilities & Background: Rodetta is the 4th daughter of the Warlord King Ifream the Red. A noble yet ruthless conquerer who bonded his spirit and body to that of an ancient dragon, which made him incredibly powerful but aggressive and hungry for glory in battle. His daughter Rodetta inherited some of her father's fire dragon abilities, and she works as the princess guard (although she is a princess herself) for her 3 older sisters. Of all of the children, her love for battle is greatest, even equal to her vicious father.

Pyromancy
As an heir to the Dragon-King she has an innate natural ability with fire magic. She can hurl fire balls, cover herself in a flaming aura, raise the temprature of an indoor room (the smaller the more effective), and at her very best levels of exertion she can create explosive magic fire bombs which she can detonate and also thrust her hands into the earth, and sprout a very small volcano to sprout and erupt underneath her opponent, though the greater range this is done at the weaker the attack will be. It must be noted that she can still be damaged by others fire magic but is immune to her her own and natural fire.

Dragon's Blood
Although technically a human, she has the spirit and blood passed down from her father which gives her the ability to telepathically speak to dragon's and know where they are. Also able to call upon smaller drakes and baby dragons to fight by her side(but only for short intervals). She is also resistant (but not immune) to most dragon fire breath. Her most special abiltiy is one that not even her father can do, she is able to sprout dragon wings from her back, in times of great stress, and take flight, although this is at the cost of her human reasoning, and her normal high levels of skill and strategy will be traded for a natural dragon's rage. Although she benefits from a short burst of superhuman strength, she will not be able to use any weapons that a human would, simply preferring to rely entirely on fire magic.

War Princess:
Since age 10 Rodetta has been training to do her bloodline proud as a spirit of war. She is an expert with the shield and longsword combination and is also very adept with the Pike, Great-sword, and Battle Axe. She has little training with projectile weapons as she usually relies on her fire magic, but has a base level of skill with the crossbow. She is also a master strategist, experienced in leading army units, but specializes in small attack forces of 2-6, she is prideful but is also surprisingly good at working in a team.She is in amazing fighting shape and has trained her human body to be a weapon, she is tough, agile and has the will of a dragon, which means she is absolutely impossible to intimidate. She can also speak in dwarvern and chaos tounges, as part of her research into possible enemy tribes.

Equipment:
Dragonpride and Ironcrest
Her sword dragon pride has no real magic qualities but it is made of silver and mythrill, which makes it consistently sharp, and able to hurt werewolves, vampires and ghouls with great effectiveness. Its material compound makes the sword nigh unbreakable. The weapon is perfectly balanced for Rodetta's strength and dexterity.

Ironcrest is made from Iron and Dragonsbone, which makes it also nearly impossible to break, and has fire proof qualities. Although quite heavy, Rodetta is highly trained with this particular shield and uses its weight for heavy offensive sheild bashes to break her opponents stance and open the guard.

Red Plate Armour
Her armour is made from the kingdom's finest steel and has been woven with dragonscale, which makes it very light weight and tough, though the armour has many weak points to allow for mobility and can be damaged because of its low density. The trade off is that she can move in the armour as if she was wearing nothing at all because of its easy access.

Caltrops
Small multi-spikes that she carries that she can throw on the ground to injure opponents as they walk or run over them. Good tool for assailaints that are chasing her. Rodetta's armour protects her feet from these.

Royal Javelin Of The Red
This is a spear that Rodetta fights with while her sword is sheathed. Its has the same properties as her blade but is at its most effective when thrown because of its magical ability to 'home in' on living creatures, the stronger the life force the more powerful the tracking abilities. Of course even without this ability, Rodetta is a very accurate with a javelin anyway.

Name: Daxius Vinnerall
Age: ??
Height: 5'9
Weight:: 162 ilbs
Race:Feline Demon Humanoid
Class: Rouge
Appearance:

Weapons: Rune Edge: A large enchanted sword forged from the bones of a chaos dwarf, inside of a cursed volcano, it has the properties of heat and explosive magic that can be used to cause heavy damage, though Dax isnt immune to this energy he must be careful not to blow himself apart. Other then that its a fairly well balanced sword, very heavy but Dax can wield it well with one hand because of his enhanced strength and dexterity.
(picture in main image)

Throwing Knives: Dax carries 25 kunai blades which he can hurl with amazing strength and precision.
Each of these knives are made from silver and blessed steel which can hurt spirits, demons and chaos creatures.


Lasso Claw: Dax has a custom grappling hook which he has modified to not only climb tall structures but to use in battle, his training allows him to use it as a lasso or as a long range flail, the rope is about 12 feet long an is made from elven twine making it very strong and impossible to cut with normal weapons, it as also very lightweight and resistant to fire. The 'claw' on the end of the grappling hook is fierce looking steel double pronged hook which can cause very painful injury if it sinks into flesh.


Physical Abilities: Dax is skilled adventurer with superhuman strength and agility which allow him to traverse the dangerous areas he usually travels through. He has all the nessecary skills in parkour, wall climbing, grappling hooks, jumping, swimming which allow him to get through almost any area with relative ease.

Weapon Skills:
Dax's sword fighting is mostly self taught, but he has honed his style over 5 years and his demon blood allows him to pick up fighting abilities a lot quicker then normal humans, in a word he was born to fight well, and he does. He employs a very freeform style of fighting which allows him to combine his amazing strength and nimble reflexes to be constantly moving and keep his opponents off guard, he has an excellent sense of balance which adds to his formidable swordsmanship, but he was never formally trained with with blade and prefers to avoid 'normal' restricted sword duels as his fighting strength is in his creativity.

Magic:
Daxius has a mid level understanding of necromancy, his demon blood can be traced back to the netherworld tribes, who used worship the undead. As a result he can control most lesser undead beings such as wraiths and zombies. He also with some effort can raise a corpse from the dead to fight for him, though so far he can only control 3 at a time, anymore will be freinzied and attack him. The corpses will be roughly half as skilled as they were when they were living and at best make decent distractions. For some reason he is much better at controlling skeletons and can animate a full set of bones to become quite a fearsome fighter. But can only control one at a time.
