Here are some new character profiles!

Lieutenant Lev DragonovAge: 39
A veteran of the Lanostran War, Lev proved himself on the battlefield as a shrewd and talented sniper and leader. Serving under Commander Zoya Kiriyev, he acted as her constant companion and right-hand for the majority of their time in the war, complimenting her defensive-minded planning with risky but ingenious strategies that led to many victories against the Lanostran army.
Ten years after the war's end, Lev retired from the military and spent many years traveling throughout the empire on what he calls a "journey of self-discovery", leading him to travel to remote locations such as Sydon-Mar in Omestris. Like Commander Zoya, he was forced back into active duty to fight in the invasion of El. Once again serving under Zoya, he will soon depart for El aboard the VSS Karamzina to act as military support for the newly ordained Warband Phoenix.

Lieutenant Rexus LycaonAge: 43
A former officer in the Lanostran Guard, Lt Rexus Lycaon was a promising soldier during the war but suffered a devastating injury that saw him miss most of the fighting. Like a lot of his fellow countrymen, he felt lost and broken after the goddess surrendered to Lord Varya, and upon recovering from his wounds, declined an offer to join the Varyan military and instead focused his energies on fighting against the empire. Five years spent as the captain of a Lanostran pirate crew earned him a dangerous reputation on the icefields, as well as a fierce rival in Lieutenant Lev Dragonov of Varya, who spent years trying to capture him.
Eventually, their rivalry ended after Dragonov got the better of him during a naval battle, and Lycaon was brought back to his former home of Sapharan in chains to answer for his crimes. Sentenced to death, Lycaon was held in the sky prisons of the High City for months. A week before his execution, he received an unexpected visitor. Lev Dragonov stood in his cell, and informed him that his execution would be stayed. Instead, Lycaon would serve two decades of hard time in the Icevault of Muraad, a prison meant for the empire's most dangerous criminals. And thus, Lycaon served his time in the frigid prison. Ten long years passed, and one day, Lev appeared before him again. This time, he made Lycaon an offer he couldn't refuse.
"I need you. Fight for me and I'll set you free from this place."
It didn't take Lycaon very long to agree to these terms.

Private Andrei SemenovAge: 15
A young SA conscript currently serving as a Church liason at the Marian Gate, the lone Varyan garrison overlooking the corpseland of Omestris. Due to a childhood spent struggling for survival in the slums of Magnagrad alongside Omestrian slaves, Semenov believes it is his life's purpose to do everything in this power to aid and help the enslaved race in any way he can. A devout follower of the inquisitor Mother Indira al Sayed, he wears her divine emblem on a pendant as a symbol of his fervent belief in freedom for the Omestrian people.

Deva Tsu'kasaAge: 20
Daughter of the renowned engineer Amir Tsu'kasa, Deva is a young T'saraen mechanist and shipwright who has spent most of her life working on naval craft in the imperial drydocks of Cero. She is frivolous above all else and cares little for anything outside her field, the hierarchy of the Faith occupying such a small amount of space in her general worldview that she barely registers them at all.
Since Deva was a child, she has worked on the VSS Grace, the old battleship that will soon depart for El alongside her father's magnum opus, the Karamzina. Now acting as the Grace's head mechanic, Deva loves the old ship more than anything.

Mother ElishevaAge: 24
A talented young inquisitor who has served in Lanostre since graduating as part of Warband Seraph two years ago, Elisheva is a warrior above all else. One of Gregoroth's favorite pupils, Elisheva spent most of her time in the Seminary sharpening herself to be a wicked blade for the empire to wield against its enemies. Much to her anger, the Church did not choose her for deployment to El, and thus she remained on Lanostre, where she would provide some much-needed security for the nation, which is now bereft of inquisitors and soldiers.
Elisheva was born with a strange birth defect which has caused her right pupil to be colored red, making her possess a strange mismatched gaze which is at once both disquieting and strangely beautiful.
