Troy summoned up some climbing gear, getting the hooks ready.
As Darst stepped up to the mountain, he chuckled to himself. "Ah, to the dragon lands!" He declared to his team, raising his blade high into the air.
Name: Ja'see Mellight
Relative Age: 30
Appearance:
{Spoiler}
Race: Elf/goddess
Abilities: Ability to speak to and command feline creatures of any kind (including herself, oddly enough), incredible agility, always lands on feet and the ability to take no damage from serious impacts 8 times per day.
Weapons: Two daggers that create or stimulate rapid plant growth wherever they strike.
Bio: Cursed by Kaos to be the goddess of cats despite her allergy to cat hair just because it would be funny, Ja'see has always been a roamer without a home. At least, as far as she remembers. She remembers being cursed by Kaos, and apparently waking up sleeping on top of a boulder. After that it was a blur until she got into a fight with a pack of wolves outside town, where Darst aided her before inviting her to accompany him against the dire wolves deeper in the forest. She agreed, becoming the first member of his group. She's fiercely loyal, though just as protective of her captain as she is quick to joke about his mistakes. Easily distracted as well, which is unfortunate for her role as the scout for the group.
Extra: Painfully positive and bubbly, despite being the sneaky one of the group. Can be counter-effective at times.
Name: Darius the Seer
Relative Age: 35
Appearance:
{Spoiler}
Race: Human
Abilities: Sensing and tracking everything in front of him for up to 2 miles as if he could see, even though invisibility. Incredible accuracy with a bow, magic that is ranged weapon specific.
Weapons: A magic bow of incredible durability, a quiver that rapid fills itself with whatever you inserted into it last. He prefers to use it for arrows, as its creations don't last for too long after exiting the quiver.
Bio: Darius the Seer was not always blind, he was once a monk in Summerheim. After an incident regarding a magical fire, Darius was blinded. After some months he reported that he could see again, but everything he saw was red. Healers and doctors were baffled, as his eyes were damaged beyond repair. Furthermore, they seemed to be replaced by an inky black orb that contained a red dot in the middle. A curse of a god, some thought, but he seemed to remain human. He grew up as any human would, and tested the limits of his sight. It was not until Darst Verdun heard about him and came to visit him that Darius discovered his true potential. Darst pushed him, wanting to see the limits of his sight. Soon, it turned to testing how he performed with weapons. Darst was decent up-close, but ranged weaponry was where he excelled. He had an unnatural knack for tracking his targets, and deadly precision. Darst knew he had to recruit this man, and so he did.
Extra: Darius is the tracker of the group, and is the key to many of Darst's crafty plans. He sees Darst as a man he hopes to surpass one day, and so he has even trained in melee combat with his bow to rob enemies of their weapons and consciousness.
Name: Yimira
Relative Age: 29 in dragon years, a couple thousand at least in human years.
Appearance:
{Spoiler}
Race: Blue Dragon
Abilities: Only ever turns from dragon to human or vice versa, lightning magic, a vicious electric aura when she gets into the heat of battle, an intimidating presence.
Weapons: A sword made purely to channel her draconic power into a blade, so she doesn't have to transform to access it fully. A shield and armor that does the same, channeling her magic into them to increase their durability incredibly.
Bio: Yimira is slow to trust, but quick to rely on others as needed. Staying in hiding among humans for many years, Yimira has accompanied others of the nocturne bloodline briefly in their journey before Darst. Oddly enough, he still smells of nocturne bloodline to her, so she has chosen to accompany him all the same. She acknowledges he is different though, and that has been enough for her to stick around. Darst, in a moment of weakness, had actually confessed the truth to her one night. Ever since, they have made an agreement to never speak of the truth. Yimira understood his desire to survive and thrive rather than suffer alone, and she sympathized. Ever since, the two have been a deadly tag team in the midst of battle.
Extra:
She is the only person Darst Verdun truly respects.
