BACKGROUND:
Caelan Barker was once well known in Saris. His father was a local leather maker and his mother helped sell the wares around town. She was always highly regarded for her looks; something she claimed came from her elven bloodline, though no one could get a straight answer about what generation that was supposed to have happened.

It was early in his teens that Caelan stopped being so well known in town and started being well known in the nearby forests. His father remarked excitedly to anyone who would listen how natural the boy took to learning the way you dealt with nature. His father had high hopes of his son becoming a trapper and turning their little business into a much bigger one by removing the prices fur trappers liked to charge.

Instead, Caelan just stopped coming back every night. And as time went by, the time when he did return became the shorter and more rare. Nowadays Caelan is thought of as an outsider. The stories of his elven heritage seem confirmed for while his parents and those who knew him grew old, Caelan remained the same. Superstition caught hold after his parents moved from the town to find steadier need for the skill they could provide.

Now in his early forties, Caelan only comes to town to barter. A once a month trip or less schedule he would have gladly kept to if not for the war. With the coming of war and the mass exodus of all able-bodied men, Caelan found himself escorted to one of the town leader's chambers on his most recent visit.

Already mistrustful of townsfolk after living apart from them for so long, Caelan refused to be herded to the front lines, unwilling to abandon his forest.

Seeing that they were at an impasse, the town leader convinced Caelan to join the town Kinest with stories of what could happen to the forest should the war effort fail. The capable who stay allowing for more to leave.

And that is where Caelan has found himself. Part of a guard he wants nothing to do with, living within the walls of a city that no matter how large feels like a cage, taking the lesser of two evils. The only reason Caelan hasn't simply performed poorly enough to be removed from the assignment is the pride he takes in anything he does - "If you're going to do something, do it well" were the last words his father spoke to him.

He, thankfully, does not complain to others about his situation.

Mitsho is wearing a gray leather jerkin, pink skinned, and chubby; he would be easily overlooked in a crowd. Easily overlooked until you see his eyes. They shift colors from gray, to blue, to green as the light hits them. Neither eye ever seems to match the other. A slightly arrogant smile curls the corner of his lips as you realize he is working magics to catch your attention. Bored with this display he turns away, absentmindedly touching a small token of Avandra he wears about his neck.

Background:
Garrin is a young, untested priest. He was sent out from the church on a mission to "bring good unto the world and seek your true path." Truth be told, Garrin was something of a troublemaker at the seminary, where he questioned everything and had a hard time obeying the pronouncements of the church leaders if he disagreed with their rulings. His mentor, Lerigun, saw the devoutness in Garrin's heart and sent him away from the seminary to prove himself, hoping that he would not further his reputation as an upstart troublemaker in the church.

BACKGROUND:
Avan was born to one of the poorest families in Saris, his father a lowly porter for the trade companies who resented the fact that the boy's birth caused his beloved wife's death. As a child Avan lived off the generosity of others in the small town, his father all but ignoring him once he could walk.

The small boy's difficult life made him tough and hardy - even if it kept him from growing much beyond five feet - but his pride prevented him from seeking too much aid, and he spent more and more of his time walking the wilds nearby. Avan came to love the valley and nature, and he quickly became an omnipresent sight to travelers. His unspoken gratitude manifested itself as he silently fought to protect the town from bandits and delivered medicines to the sick.

Many believe that his only friends are the mangy wolf whom he rescued from a group of cruel bandits and the small wooden owl he wears around his neck (and occasionally whispers to), but in fact he regards many in Saris as his friends - even if they do not know his name.

BACKGROUND:
War. War is a waste of time and effort. War is bitter and foul. But revenge. Revenge is sweet. Revenge is everything.

Mordido thought he had the perfect life. Born into a martial family; his parents, as well as his aunts and uncles, all served in the militia to some extent. His father lead patrols, his uncle taught sword play, and his mother taught about healing herbs found on most battlefields. During his younger years, he idolized the elder role models of his family, and walked in their footsteps; training hard in the use of the axe. Then, the Mynn Wars began.

As patriots, the Blackmoor family in its entirety pledge themselves to the war effort. His father and uncles went to the front lines to help turn back the tide of southerners. His mother and aunts spent their time tending to the wounded or serving meals. Mordido, almost of age to join the efforts, went along in the hopes he would be able to aide his country against the threat. He was told it would be a short effort; that the southerners would be turned back within a few weeks, maybe a few months, and they would all return home. However, a month turned into a year, and a year into two, and the war saw no end.

Despite the bleak atmosphere of the war, Mordido found a few rays of hope to brighten his soul. First, his family was all with him; completely healthy and always returning from their battles with honor. Second, he met Lyselia, a young lady from a town close to the frontlines. When not fighting in the war, Mordido spent most of his days courting the lass. Daily he supplicated the Gods to let the war end and to keep his family and Lyselia safe.

But the Gods never listened. The first to fall were his father and uncle, ambushed by a patrol of southerners. Next, his aunt suffering with anguish from the loss of her husband, succumbed to sickness. He could understand this; however. All three were on the front-lines. All three knew what they had signed up for. Besides, he still had his mother and Lyselia. A few days later, word reached his camp that the southerners had broken through the line and were raising the nearby town; where Lyselia and his mother were residing. Grabbing his gear, he hastened to the town - only to find the bloody corpses of the most important women in his life. Mordido never remembered what happened next; he only remembers the anger, the hatred, consuming him. When he regained his senses, he was covered in blood and gore - his own and that of the few southerners left in the village. Everything was gone. Everything. Due to war. Due to the southerners. And no one cared. Not the Gods he had prayed to. Not the captains who gave him orders. Not the rest of the races holed up in their nooks and crannies. Caring only brought pain, so Mordido wouldn't care anymore. It was at that moment Mordido found a new resolve in his life: revenge. Revenge upon the southerners. Revenge upon those who pulled gave them orders. And if death came in the process of exacting that revenge - all the sweeter.

PERSONALITY:
Sour puss, The only reliable companion is an axe, Revenge, Everyone dies sooner or later

APPEARANCE:
Mordido has the build of a typical soldier: 6 foot, built like a rock, hair kept short. The most distinguishing factors about him are a long scar running along his jawline, and his eyes. His eyes seem dark and perpetually sad.
