:3 Pureauthor's stories are always so good!!

Meanwhile: Rin has now taken her spot up in the front row, center after Liana realized she was really no better than Mia's no-study attitude. She took a few days rest to meditate and to properly study up how she could be better. When she returned Rin realized how weak the Princess now was having forgotten so much from being away for so long and took a stand. Liana merely smiled and agreed, realizing the grand step Rin took as well.

However, she's not really fully satisfied with being in the back row and she complains about it frequently. The last time Francis and her got into a huge argument in the middle of the battle when he just told her to shut up, heal them, and fucking defend the group. Liana is thoroughly pissed and is researching ways to better herself in the backrow. ...She has taken a great deal of interest in Kucheric's crossbow, but also sees great potential in her unused MP store and the possibility of filling up the whole San left behind.

Haha, I've always loved making character personalities for these sorts of games. Here's my guild.

Guild: Sparkly
Ship: Justice

Front Row
Natasha Marie Montbazon
Blond-Sparkly-Eyed Princess
A bright, happy girl, Natasha is the charming princess of a country far away, who had impulsively escaped on a boat to seek her fortune in the labyrinths. Once there, she immediately rounded up a group of companions and declared that from now on, their guild would be called Sparkly, for the princess loved sparkles, despite the protests of the other guild members.

Sometimes, she seems a bit too happy, as though she's broken somewhere inside, as though something in her was melting and fading away. Also, despite what her somewhat air-headed personality might lead one to believe, she is actually rather intelligent.

Jess Shyke
Twin-tailed Hoplite
A businesslike girl and the first member Natasha rounded up. She is never seen with her armor off. Naturally loyal and protective, she already is committed to protecting her companions. In her past, she was a girl who wished to study medicines, but an incident where she failed to protect something precious to her changed her utterly.

She enjoys eating mangoes, and she was the one who hurriedly named the ship before Natasha could name it 'Unicorn'. She also seems to have taken Natasha in as her own and fancies herself as her protector.

Jack Thistle
Afro Arbolist
A man looking for adventure, Jack jumped at the chance to join a guild, having arrived on the same boat as Natasha. When not fighting, he's usually relaxing by playing songs on his lute, for he originally wanted to be a troubadour. He shows a strange affinity for piloting boats.

Up till now, he had a relatively carefree life, and he gets along with most everyone in the party. He has a wide and varied taste in food.

Back Row
Tatsuya Himura
Red-scarfed ponytail ninja
Despite his intimidating looks, Tatsuya is a ninja who enjoys life and running. Often he would try to get the other guild members to go out on a run with him - usually Jess because she's far too slow. He also likes sneaking around and is a mild kleptomaniac. His past is rather bright and happy for a ninja, and he struck out on his own to find adventure in the labyrinths.

He hates sailing, however, and would oftentimes be seen clutching the railings, face green with nausea.

Victoria Jioxys
Wavy-haired Zodiac with Louise Hair
Short-tempered and stubborn, Victoria is a girl who was unwillingly dragged into Sparkly by an overenthusiastic Natasha. She was brought up as a sheltered Zodiac and so is rather clueless about the world outside. Surprisingly for her personality, however, she is an excellent cook, and can make delicious foods using almost anything in the labyrinth.

As she is in the backrow most often with Tatsuya, she gets along well with him. This led to Natasha teasingly calling them a couple, something Victoria ferociously denies.

Others
Two-Leaf
Kid Wildling
Two-Leaf, a young wildling, was captured by Natasha and was forced to join the guild. He is most often seen with Alice Friar, and has a strange fear of Natasha. He speaks little, and has a pretty strong accent on his words. In his spare time, he likes whittling, talking with his animal friends, and trying to get Alice to not poison them.

Hailey Breck
Black-haired braided Gladiator
Brought up since birth as a fighter, Hailey was recruited by Natasha into the guild. Usually seen with Jack Thistle talking about the thrill of fighting. When not fighting, be it in the arena or in battles, Hailey enjoys making ice sculptures with her sword and trying to tease emotional reactions from Jess Shyke.

Alice Friar
The blond-haired, white smocked, blue dressed farmer
This morbid little girl, when not helping out the party whenever called, likes hitting things with her rolling pin and accidentally poisoning woodland animals. Thus, everyone except for Two-Leaf has a tendency to avoid her. As a result of this, Alice has taken Two-Leaf as her own and is learning the skills of a wildling while teaching the semi-wild Two-Leaf the skills of a farming life, creating some bizarre farmer/wilding and wilding/farmer combo.

Belladona (Princess) "Haven will see this through, that much I can assure you."
Belladona is the daughter of King Valla, from a land of the same surname far off to the North-East. She is anything but the stereotypical pampered princess. Craving adventure and well versed in both militia training and orderly procedure she is more than capable of commanding a rag-tag guild.

Belladona resents a pampered, sheltered life, and strove to do away with it's trappings as early as possible. Against her father's will and wishes she's seen true conflict firsthand, actual wars. Trained under a superior commanding officer of the Valla militia, she jumped hastily at the chance to experience true adventure, no matter how risky the stakes.

She functions as a natural born leader, rarely raising her voice to distribute her orders, but never coming off as lenient and timid in the least. Haven, her guild was formed under the idea of a "Haven of refuge". And it's members are loyal to her and her cause.



Selfi (Arbalist) "So this is an ocean, it's...big."
Selfi also hails from the Kingdom of Vall, but unlike Belladona she was brought up in extremely poor conditions. Taken in as a common vagrant she was put inside the Valla castle to perform menial chores to earn her keep after a maid found her shivering under a bridge in town one winter's night.

Cheerful and never downtrodden despite her ill luck in life. Selfi became close to Belladona early in their lives as they met from time to time, secretly around the castle. Belladona was more than happy to find a friend her age, especially one outside of blue blood. Selfi was just happy to find a friend period. As they grew older she would sometimes sneak off to join Belladona with her lessons with the superior Valla militia commanding officer, taking up a crossbow to differentiate herself.

It was a natural choice to accompany Belladona on her journey to the labyrinth in Armoroad. She serves as not only a close friend to Belladona but also a scout and rear combat support. Her aim is true and she is able to make a critical shot while under pressure. Like Belladona, she has seen true warfare firsthand.



Skirk (Wildling) "..."
Hailing from an island somewhere near Armoroad, Skirk is no stranger to the area. He was discovered by Selfi amongst some brush on her and Belladona's way to Armoroad. Initially mistaking Haven as a threat he took to the offensive, but quickly realized these people meant no harm to him. After the situation was explained to him he simply nodded and lead them to the city.

Rather than departing, and returning back to what he had been doing before outside, whatever that was, Skirk stuck around with the group as they registered their guild card, until asked to join Haven in search of adventure in the labyrinth. With which he replied "Friends, yes?" and extended his hand out to Belladona.

He has since become a faithful member of the guild, though those two words are the only two most of Haven have ever heard him mutter. Bunji is the one exception, with whom Skirk took a strong personal liking to.

Skirk's skill in hunting beasts and communicating with wildlife via body language and sounds is impressive to even seasoned hunters in Armoroad. He, also like Bunji is virtually fearless. Perhaps one of the reasons of their close connection. Bunji can fully comprehend Skirk's body language and convey it to the others, but they've slowly began to pick up on it themselves.



Bunji (Ninja) "There is so little time for idle chit-chat, we've a lot of ground to cover."
A formal master of ninpou ninja arts, Bunji left behind a secretive lifestyle with a dark past. He never speaks of the past, only on the present and of the future. He is calm and collected in any situation, even when faced with impossible odds and almost certain death. However, cold as he may look from afar, he is fairly talkative and wise beyond his years.

After having given up the life of a true ninja in the past he became a simple sellsword, always coming through on a mission, no matter what. He was drawn to Haven by the strangeness of a royal princess running of a guild.

Only one other person amongst Haven has seen Bunji without something concealing his face. And that person is Skirk, whom rarely speaks anyway. Bunji fears nothing but is appreciative of the loyalty he is shown within Haven. Bunji doesn't fight for fame, money or to protect. He fights simply to fight.



Xeona (Buccaneer) "I'll stay the day with you if you'll stay the night with me."
A recruit that was lined up for Haven by a contact of Bunji's. Xeona is brash and sometimes reckless, but never overly cocky or coming off as a loudmouth. She is however confident enough in her own abilities. Once part of a small pirating crew, she disbanded after a heated argument when returning to shore one night after a raid.

She is wanted by a few pirate groups as a result, but shrugs it off all the same. Xeona was never truly one of the "good guys", as she lived most of her life stealing, fighting and even at times killing. However she's not all bad either. She has a way with men, able to seduce most easily, and knowing the exact right things to say to get what she needs from them.

Bunji is immune to her advances though, and that intrigues her. Which is half the reason she decided to join Haven, to learn more about the strange ninja. Of course the promise of fame and fortune didn't hurt either.


Gerfreid (Hoplite) "Well then, are you going to attack me or aren't you?"
Gerfreid came to Haven as a fellow serious about the adventure into the labyrinth with no guild to turn to. He knows none of the other members well, but gets along with most anyone easily enough.

As the newest member of Haven not too much is known about him either. He is a veteran explorer however, and has seen many battles, even trekked through a few similar adventures previously across the world. He is a gentle giant, large in stature but kind and warm hearted. Loud and ferocious on the battlefield he take it upon himself to protect the others, drawing enemy attention with that same loud ferocity.


Flanders and Jackie (Farmers) "We'd never get to see anything this cool back home, right Flanders!?" "...I guess not."
Young twins seeking mild adventure and resources for their family ran farm somewhere out over the sea. As brother and sister the two work well together, but there is often little need for both of them together at once in the labyrinth. Flanders doesn't much like the idea of possibly being eaten alive by vicious monsters, and thus doesn't enjoy time spent inside the labyrinth. However Jackie, being a tom boy enjoys the thrill of adventuring with Haven.

Belladona always personally sees to being with the two when one or the other goes out to adventure. Worrying for their safety.
"Bow down to none, for no god is greater than you!"

Whew, took me a few days to write this lol. Not completely satisfied with a few of the characters(Wildling, the farmers), but I like what I came up with for the Princess and the first Ninja alot


Guild: Gekkou
Ship: Fervour

Princess - 2nd F
Wynne
Age 28
Originally hails from a Queendom in one of the main continents. A relatively serious, but kind woman with great charisma, who has an entirely approachable demeanor that makes people open up to her.

Her country had been in conflict off and on with a neighboring country but was finally taken over. With her Queendom conquered by a neighboring nation and her parents killed, her people urged her to flee. Despite her own protests to stay and fight she eventually gave in and fled with Sigvard. She has since vowed to take back her kingdom but without at army she was at aloss of what to do, until she heard of Armoroad's plight. She decides to head there and challenge the labyrinth in hopes of gaining the Senatus' favor to help her take back her Queendom.

To prevent the invading country from knowing her whereabouts she is travelling incognito. Only Sigvard, Murasaki, and Baird and his family know the princess's real identity.

Hoplite - 1st M, Alt
Sigvard
Age 40
Was a squire of the king at the age of 14, and was knighted 2 years later. When Princess Wynne came of age he was assigned to be her personal knight. A loyal, brave man, as one would expect of his position. Close personal friends with Baird since childhood.

Ninja - 1st F
Murasaki
Age 29
A serious, quiet woman who doesn't talk much about herself. Has been taking oddjobs to support herself but has lost sight of herself since she was exiled from her village.

Wynne met Murasaki at the first port the ship she was a passenger on stopped at. She was excommunicated from her village years ago but no one knew why. Wynne, curious about this woman came to befriend her, finding that she was somewhat of a kindred spirit. For the first time ever, Murasaki found herself telling someone about her past. They grow to be close friends, a first for them both.


Arbalist - 1st M
Baird
Age 39
Friend of Sigvard, husband to Mafalda, father of Lynn and Nadine. A native of Wynne's homeland and son to a blacksmith. He has always had an interest in how things work and became quite an inventor. Using the skills he learned from his father's trade and his own curiosity he became a valuable asset to the countries armory.

After marrying Mafalda and having Lynn, they decided tehy did not want to raise a child in a country in the middle of war. To that end, they moved back to Mafalda's hometown of Armoroad. Nadine was born here.

Upon Sigvard and the princess' arrival, Sigvard suggested they meetup with Baird to ask for his assistance. Baird agrees to help out in any way he can.

Hoplite - 2nd F
Mafalda
Age 37
Wife to Baird, native of Armoroad. She was a tomboy as a child who always loved hearing her fathers war stories and learning swordplay.

When she was 15, her father, originally from Wynne's country, got wind of of the state of his home country and decided to return to join the war effort. Mafalda, having grown up on tales of her father's deeds as a soldier, pleaded with him to take her with him so she could train to fight as well. When they arrived, she proved herself quite able and at 18 became a knight. However only a year later she met Baird and the rest is history.

Fiercely protective of her family.

Arbalist - 2nd F, Alt
Lynn
Age 18
Elder daughter of the Baird family. A laid-back girl with some of her father's mechanical genius. Her aim with the crossbow is astounding.

Gladiator - 2nd F
Nadine
Age 17
Younger daughter of the Baird family. In a word, rambunctious. Much like her mother she is a gung-ho girl, but to the point of recklessness.

Buccaneer - 1st M, Alt
Felix
Age 34
Childhood friend of Mafalda. Since the Baird family moved back to Armoroad, he has become a good friend to the whole family, and especially to Baird himself. Sort of the funny man to Baird's straight man(as in a comedy duo).

When he hears Baird joined a guild he decides to go see what they're like for himself. Upon meeting Wynne, he promptly says he's joining up. Wynne needed a captain for their Senatus-provided ship anyway and figured Felix's experience would come in handy.

Fancies Wynne, and not knowing who she is has regularly tried to put the moves on her, however she parries his advances with admirable skill each time.


Monk - 1st F
RongRong (real name: HuangRong)
Age 20
Daughter of well known martial artist in her native country, who herself is exceptionally skilled in hand-to-hand combat. A very straightforward girl who believes in "justice". When she was 17 she left home to learn more of the world and like many others, test her skill in the labyrinth. 1 year later Springfield saw her skills on display in a barfight and begged her to teach him to fight. She has since been doing just that but has been unable to find a guild that was willing to take her in until she met Wynne.

Monk - 1st M
Springfield
Age 17
A disciple of RongRong since 2 years ago and native of Armoroad. Was originally in another guild but quit when RongRong took him in. Has shown himself to be a rather quick learner of techniques but truly excelled at qi applications even to the point of creating a few original qi skills. Since joining Gekkou has developed a massive crush on Nadine.


Zodiac - 2nd F, Alt
Abellona
Age 20
A traveling Astrologist. When she's not absorbed in her craft, she's a bit hot-headed, stubborn, and has difficulty showing her true feelings. Shaun's girlfriend.

Has forseen in the stars that a major event is going to happen in Armoroad soon and heads there to see what unfolds

Gladiator - 2nd M
Shaun
Age 19
A happy-go-lucky guy who is a natural ladies man, to Abellona's ire, even though he's not trying to be. Abellona's boyfriend and bodyguard, who is quite skilled with a sword.


Wildling - 1st M
Yaholo
Age 30
A hermit and native of Armoroad that lives in the mountain on the island. Wynne and her party met him during one of their excursions into the labyrinth. They learned that he had been surviving off the land so wynne decided to ask him to join them in their exploration but he refused. However, he later saw that she is not the type that kills unecessarily and if at all possible doesn't let the lives of the slain creatures go to waste. He shows up in front of them again and decides to help her.


Prince - 2nd M, Alt
Alexander
Age 25
A proud, driven man who was raised since birth to be the ideal king for a Kingdom with over a thousand years of history. Has shown stunning brilliance in battle tactics and politics. However, the monarchy had been slowly losing power to the senate over the years and finally, just half a year ago, the people peacefully abolished the King as a position of power and became fully democratic. With his purpose gone, he left his country behind to find meaning for his life.

After arriving in Armoroad, he eventually meets Wynne and finds himself captivated by her. He doesn't understand why this commoner woman is so driven toward her goals and yet at the same time so caring. He finds himself curious to know more about her and requests to join her guild. She accepts his membership with his promise of superior tactics.

Over time he begins to think she has royal blood in her because he feels no normal person could have such fierce determination. Through his experiences with her he will learn what it really means to be royalty, regardless of the state of his country.


Ninja - 2nd F, Alt
Fuuka
Age ?
An enigma. No one knows anything about her except that she's been following Murasaki for some time now. Doesn't seem to have any ill intent so Wynne allows her to stay. Is actually a Fox spirit who has taken on human form to observe people out of her own curiosity.


Farmer - 2nd M
Randolf
Age 21
A local shepard who has experience dealing with wild beasts. Was hired to assist with his invaluable knowledge of the various creatures in the labyrinth as well.

Farmer - 1st F, Alt
Rosetta
Age 16
Younger sister of Randolf. She and her younger sister are also employed to help Randolf with gathering materials and such in the upper, less dangerous levels.

Farmer - 2nd F
Alicia
Age 15
Youngest sister of Randolf.

Hey everyone, I just found this site after playing a bit of the new EO, which is my first EO game by the way. Anyways I like creating personalities for my characters as well, and even though I have a small crew I figured I'd share them with you.

Guild: Outrider
Ship: Taboo

Geoff - Auburn Haired Male Hoplite
Age 31
The leader of the guild, Geoff was the captain of the guard in Galdria, a kingdom to the north. However, while accompanying the Princess Elise on a diplomatic journey; political turmoil led to a coup and the death of the King and Queen. The last message he received from the late King was to take their daughter and flee from the treacherous nobles who would kill her to consolidate their new hold on the throne.

Without any other options, Geoff and Elise stole away from their caravan at a port and ended up sailing to Armoroad. There he quickly heard rumors of the treasures and mysteries locked within Labyrinth. After much prodding from Elise he registered a guild, naming it Outrider after the fact that they were exiled from their kingdom. Though he finds it hard to believe that the mysteries of the Labyrinth will help solve their problems, he maintains a determined demeanor around Elise. He refuses to be the reason she gives up hope on returning to their home country. Even though he finds his guild mates to be a rather strange crew for a princess; he carries the weight of his their lives upon his armor as they plunge into the twisting depths of the Labyrinth.

Elise - Blonde Female Princess
Age 15
Elise is a princess from the northern country of Galdria. She lived her life believing in the responsibilities a noble holds to their people and country. Looking to this, she strove to better herself to be best suited for the day she would accept the mantle of Queen. However, all of that was shattered after the coup and her and Geoff's flight to Armoroad.

Shaken to the core upon arriving in Armoroad, she found hope in the tales of the mysterious Labyrinth in the city. The more she heard the more she was convinced that somewhere in the Labyrinth would be the power she needed to return to her home country and punish the nobles who stole her family and country from her. With new resolve, she has bravely taken on the challenges of the Labyrinth and successfully conquered the first stratum. Inspiring her guild mates with her determination and fearlessness, she looks on to the day she conquers the Labyrinth and returns home.

Eve - Dark Haired Female Gladiator
Age 22
Eve is a happy go lucky sell sword looking to travel the world for adventure and profit. After going through a rough patch from her unconventional lifestyle, she heard of the Labyrinth in Armoroad and decided her fortune and fame lay there. Soon after arriving, a bit of a misunderstanding led to her being soundly beaten by Geoff who mistook her for a mercenary hunting Elise. Thoroughly impressed by his strength she decided to join their guild. Though he was partially against it, Geoff felt obliged to allow her to join after attacking her over a misunderstanding.

Throughout their treks into the Labyrinth, she has developed a curious habit of tallying each monster she has killed and weaving grand tales of their adventures to share back in the Butterfly Bistro. Despite her best attempts to impress Geoff with her strength, he continuously reminds her that his top priority (and what SHOULD be her top priority) is keeping everyone alive. Never daunted, she continues to throw herself at the strongest monsters of the Labyrinth to earn fame and glory... and maybe a pat on the back from Geoff.

Darien - Purple Haired Buccaneer
Age 18
The young captain of the Taboo, Darien was faced with the daunting task of building a new pirate crew after his old sea mates had retired from their (rather unsuccessful) swashbuckling lifestyles. While in port in Armoroad, he witnessed the spectacle of a battle between Geoff and Eve and approached them in hopes of recruiting them to his merry sea band. After learning that they were forming a guild he quickly switched gears and attempted to join. Originally Geoff flatly refused to have such a questionable fellow travel with Elise. However, after he offered to fund their expedition with his sea spoils Geoff agreed (Geoff later learned that his "spoils" was a measly 500 en but by then it was too late).

Being experienced in making sea charts, Darien took the duty of map making upon himself. A task at which he has been surprisingly competent. With a sharp tongue and a quick wit he keeps the rest of the guild laughing during even their darkest moments. His infectious charm seems to be working especially well on Elise; which has led Geoff to keep an excruciatingly close eye on him (under the pretense of checking the accuracy of his maps). Still even Geoff appreciates his quick blade and clear head when push comes to shove.

Logan - Older Male Monk
Age - ??
Logan is a bit of a mystery to the rest of his guild mates. Heck Logan isn't even his real name (which he claims to have forgotten) but rather the name of his favorite brand of ale. However one thing that is not uncertain is his skill at healing. It was Logan who healed Eve after her fight with Geoff and since then he has stuck around never giving them the chance to turn him away. Between their treks to the Labyrinth, Logan's favorite past time is drinking in the Butterfly Bistro or sharing bits of wisdom (which usually relate to relaxing and sharing a drink with him at the Butterfly Bistro). Though he has never given any reason for joining, he has not once wavered in their trials and has become an indispensable part of the guild.

Tess and Dale- Blonde Haired Female and Male Farmers
Age 16
Tess and Dale are twin farmers who were rescued by the guild after they snuck onto the first floor of the Labyrinth. After being rescued they explained that they were trying to earn money by harvesting the resources within the Labyrinth. Geoff escorted them safely back to town where he was shocked at the value that these resources held. Spotting their chance to leave their boring farm life behind, Tess and Dale begged to be let into the guild. Though Geoff was reluctant to let two who could not really defend themselves travel into the Labyrinth; he was once again convinced by Elise, who took a liking to the friendly pair. Since then they have taken several journeys with the guild, huddling behind Geoff's tough frame in moments of danger and gleefully collecting the rare treasures of the Labyrinth.[/b]

Subclassing led me to consider adding some.
[spoiler]

Monk Ming Yue "Alexandros"
"This is the path I have chosen. No royal blood will make me stray from it."
During the great battle with Ketos, Marcus had a good look at Ming's arm; a symbol was etched upon it. Afterwards, Marcus confronted her about the symbol, and asked her where she got it. Ming said she had apparently been lost as a child when her master picked her up. She had the symbol since.
Upon hearing this, Marcus bared his own arm, showing the same symbol. Vari, too, showed his. According to both, the symbol was only given to those of their family's royal blood. Marcus then said he had a sister, who never even reached 2. He said it was entirely possible that Ming was that sister.
Ming became distraught for a while. Mulling it over, she remembered telling her master when she was a child she wanted to be a princess. Upon this revelation, she realized the consequences of that wish, and that she did not want them anymore. She announced her sworn duty, and that nothing would make her deviate from it.
During the relay between Armoroad and the Deep City, Marcus announced he would be serving as a side diplomat, helping when possible. With this, he announced a new leader of the group, then pointed to Ming.
No one disagreed.


Buccaneer Vari "Yuri van Alexandros"
"You're the prince. All I was was an obstacle to the throne; a bigger bug to crush. Why stick around when I was useless and killable?"
During their forays into the dungeon, Marcus was starting to find Vari familiar. His looks, similar features, and swordplay were much like his own. During the battle with Ketos, upon seeing Ming's arm, Vari too recognized the symbol. When Marcus was about to confront her about it, Vari let loose his own bombshell;
He was Marcus's lost twin, who ran away at 10 because of a disagreement due to succession. He assumed he would rule together with his brother, as they had been inseparable. Upon hearing from his father that he had been naive, he packed some important things and left. He got by living, learning to sail the ocean and be a 'merchant.'
He knew who Marcus was when meeting and joining him, but held his tongue until he wanted to let it loose. The two are inseparable again, but there always feels like an awkwardness between them.

Umm...I hope this thread isn't too old, but the concept is fun.

I am writing the story of my guild, but their descriptions don't really spoil anything.

Guild: Canus
Ship: The White Pearl


Kuroko Nakuris
[spoiler]Zodiac
15 years old
Likes: Reading, Quiet, night time
Dislikes: Big groups, creepy things, getting up early
Personality: Shy, quiet, intelligent, stubborn.

“Uuum, i think we are going the wrong way...”
Kuroko isn’t exactly the sort of person you would normally expect to see in the labyrinth. Very at home in the deep libraries of the Observatory of the Heavens, she rather out of place in the bustling adventurer’s haven of Armoroad. After being convinced by one of her professors to get some real world experience, she took an offer from the Canus guild to become an adventurer. Having never even left the Observatory grounds before, she is rather nervous and uncomfortable in Armoroad. Although she would really like to return home, her stubborn streak and rabid curiosity has kept her in Armoroad to see things through. Lacking much experience, she is nervous that she will not be needed at all. Nevertheless, she works hard at her new job. Being good with pen, paper, and drawing, she is also tasked with creating the maps of the labyrinth. Her celestial field readings are also key to the party finding its bearings deep in the maze. [/spoiler]


Justin Tepes Canus
[spoiler]Guild Leader/Manager/Trainer
20 years old
Likes: Good friends
Dislikes: Unnecessary risks
Personality: friendly, easy going, average

“Remember, your job is to come back alive.”
The Canus guild owner and manager. After being asked by the Marigold and Willshire families, he agreed to form a guild to explore and exploit the depths of the labyrinth. He does not go down into the labyrinth with the rest of the guild for personal reasons. He takes care of all of the official business of the guild, such as purchasing supplies and equipment, selling off the goods they find, and dealing with the senatus. While he is normally friendly and easy going, he is strict on a few rules and always insists that everyone take as many precautions as possible. Because of this, he is sometimes seen like a bit of a worry wart. Although he does not come across as anything but average, he trains all the guild members and seems oddly familiar with the workings of the labyrinth. He takes the dangers of the labyrinth very seriously and will get angry at people who take it lightly. [/spoiler]


Masumaro Kana
[spoiler]Ninja
20? years old
Likes: completing missions, Shiori
Dislikes: carelessness
Personality: serious, stoic, quiet

“There are always greater dangers and stronger foes. You are never prepared enough.”
Kana is an enigmatic person. The only person that knows him well is his subordinate and trainee, Shiori. The two of them never reveal where they came from or why the are in Armoroad. He prefers to silently watch in the shadows most of the time, and rarely speaks to the other guild members. His face is always mask like, never showing much emotion, although his eyes are piercing. This usually intimidates people that try to talk with him. In the labyrinth he is surprisingly dependable, however, and is always there to back up his team mates. Despite his unsociable nature, he is not uncaring and worries about the safety of his guild-mates. Whenever real danger approaches, he and his shadows are always there to cover the others. He is also always reading and collecting information, as such he is very knowledgeable in anything his teammates should think to ask him, should they have enough courage to even speak to him. He seems to know Justin from before the guild started. [/spoiler]


Hakamachi Shiori
[spoiler]Ninja
14 years old
Likes: Kana, winning
Dislikes: losing
Personality: strong willed, energetic, self confident

“Don’t you dare insult my master! Our ninja arts are superior to any of yours!”
Shiori is the polar opposite of her master, Kana. Even so, the two seem to get along perfectly. Shioir often buts heads with the other members of the guild over who is superior. A habit for which she is constantly reprimanded. Her confidence in herself is not entirely unfounded, however, as she is very talented. She can also sometimes be a bit childish. When push comes to shove and real danger appears she is surprisingly level headed and quick thinking. Her pride in ninjutsu and her master, Kana, often gets her into fights. She and Kuroko share a bad friend sort of relationship. Both hold a great deal of pride in their respective arts and neither is willing to admit the other is better in any way. Shiori is one of the only members able to draw out Kuroko’s stubborn side.[/spoiler]


Tong Mei Ling
[spoiler]Monk
18 years old
Likes: having fun, winning, sleeping
Dislikes: meditating, snakes
Personality: friendly, cheerful, easy going

“I’ll show you the power of a thousand years of martial arts!”
Meiling, as she usually has people call her, is a friendly and easy going person. She was originally a member of a sect of fighting monks, but she was rather lax about the spiritual side of the enlightened way. This penchant eventually got her kicked out. After wandering for a while, she ended up in Armoroad. At the Bistro, one day, she met Justin and ended up agreeing to join the guild. She is confident in her skills but does not get worked up about it. She does like a good fight, however, and is willing to take on anyone or anything that challenges her. Meiling is also an excellent sleeper and can take a nap anywhere, anytime, even while on the job. Her easy going and understanding nature made her Kuroko’s first real friend in Armoroad after Justin. She is always friendly and supportive of Kuroko since Meiling sees Kuroko trying her best. [/spoiler]


Sampson
[spoiler]Gladiator
25 years old
Likes: fighting, money, freedom
Dislikes: being lazy
Personality: serious, forceful, intelligent

“Never take your freedom for granted and never let it go.”
After winning enough to free himself from the gladiator rings, he fled his home country. He ended up buying passage to Armoroad, where he worked as a mercenary for a while. Eventually he found one of Justin’s notices and took it. The idea of being a founding member of a guild appealed to him and he signed up. Having pulled himself out of slavery and into freedom by his own two hand, he is very serious about freedom. He despises people who take it for granted. After his days as a gladiator, he has always wanted more money, seeking to free himself from dependance on anyone else. He dislikes Meiling’s laid back nature. [/spoiler]


Jack Nighthawk
[spoiler]buccaneer
24 years old
Likes: money, rum, sailing, taking risks
Dislikes: land lubbers, sitting around
Personality: flamboyant, confident, strong

“These land rats er, no match fer the dangers of the high seas!”
A....privateer who has worked in the waters around Armoroad for some time. He frequents the Butterfly Bistro, which is how he met Justin. One day, the two got into an argument over whether the labyrinth or the high seas was more dangerous. Justin challenged Jack to take on the labyrinth for himself. In the heat of the moment, he agreed and thus ended up as part of the guild. The guild uses his ship, the White Pearl, when exploring the seas of Armoroad. Jack looks down on “land lubbers” as being too weak to take on the ocean. He holds a certain respect for Justin, however, and is not too unfriendly towards the rest of the guild. He does look down on bookish people, and so is initially unfriendly towards Kuroko. He is also initially unfriendly towards the royal siblings, Marietta and Wriggle, believing them to be stuck up. Even so, he eases up on each of them after they get to know each other a bit more. [/spoiler]


Marietta Willshire
[spoiler]Princess
18 years old
Likes: freedom, having fun, Wriggle, Luna
Dislikes: tedious things, ceremony
Personality: friendly, naive, cheerful, strong, excitable

“Fear not, my people, for no monster shall impede our progress!”
Third daughter to the king of a minor country, Marietta decided to set out with her younger brother, Wriggle, to find their own fame and fortune. Due to her position, she was aware that neither she nor her brother had a good chance of becoming anything if they stayed at home. More likely than not Marietta would have been married off to some neighboring prince and Wriggle would have been given some dinkey chunk of the kingdom. Thus the two took some money from home and, together with their retainer, Luna, set off to find their own way. Marietta is a friendly and smart girl, but she has grown up sheltered and as such is sometimes out of touch with things. She is always eager to try new things, however, and thus is willing to try her had at adventuring. She and Wriggle are the guild’s financial backers as they provided the funds for the guild to start up and get premise. Her excitable nature also gets her into trouble as she gets overly excited about new and unusual things. [/spoiler]


Wriggle Wilshire
[spoiler]Prince
10 years old
Likes: Marietta, Luna
Dislikes: people who dislike marietta
Personality: innocient, good natured, cheerful, loyal

“What Marietta said!”
Wriggle is the young and starry eyed (quite literally) fourth son of the house of Wilshire. He follows Marietta around and basically does whatever she does. He is even more naive that she is and will believe anything he is told. He is good natured and so gets along with most everyone in the guild. He dislikes Jack, however, because of his initial hostility towards the royal pair. His innocent nature endears him to the guild and he is often treated like a mascot along with Minea. [/spoiler]


Luna Tristam
[spoiler]Hoplite
18 years old
Likes: the Wilshires, honor
Dislikes: recklessness, foolishness
Personality: serious, hardworking, sensible

“Honestly, milady, those mushrooms were obviously poisonous.”
Luna is a childhood friend of Marietta’s and the sibling’s retainer. She balances out Marietta’s unbridled enthusiasm and hastiness. Because she is much more sensible and level headed than the siblings, she ends up having to look after her master’s various mistakes. She is patient with the two, but not above giving them a good scolding when they do something foolish. Luna works hard behind the scenes so that Marietta’s various actions work out properly. It was she, after all, that ended up doing most of the negotiating when the guild was being formed. She is wary of Jack, considering him to be a no good ruffian. [/spoiler]


The Marigold family (Alice, Lyrica, Ness, Barsted, Lorelei)
[spoiler]Farmers
ages: 15-14-17-17-18
Likes: the other siblings, money, adventure
Dislikes: regular farming
Personality: (Alice: nice, sincere, shy. Lyrica: lazy. Ness & Barsted: pranksters, friendly, silly. Lorelei: mature, caring, reserved.)

“If its valuable, we’ll find it!”
The children of the Marigold family decided, collectively, that regular farming was too tedious and dull. Thus they concocted a scheme to create a guild. They would use the guild to find places to harvest in the Labyrinth and reap the rewards. They found their start up money and financial backing in the form of the Wilshire siblings. After that, they negotiated with Justin, the trainer, about starting the guild. After much debate, it was agreed upon that Justin would have control of the guild and the Marigold and Wilshire families would be stock holders. [/spoiler]


Minea
[spoiler]Wildling
10 years old
Likes: Justin, meat, animals
Dislikes: people mean to Justin, bitter things
Personality: innocent, shy, loyal

“.......”
Minea is an unusual girl. She was found, alone, some years ago by Justin and has since been in his care. Although she can clearly understand language, she never speaks for whatever reason. Because Justin has taken care of her, she is very loyal to him and is quickly angered by people who are mean to him. She has shown a talent in controlling animals, and seems to be able to even communicate with them. Minea is at home in the wild and finds the Labyrinth easy to traverse. She does not easily open up to the others and chooses to stick close to Justin whenever possible. [/spoiler]


Rivera
[spoiler]Arbalist
16 years old
Likes: hitting the target
dislikes: missing the target
Personality: serious, ernest, gullible

“Yes! I hit it, bullseye!.....sorry....”
Rivera is a young Arbalist. Having grown up in Armoroad, she is not very knowledgeable about anything outside of the port city. Having only heard tales from the various traveler, she will believe just about any story she hears about far of places. She does, however, become upset if she finds out someone lied to her. She is the daughter of a local merchant and has practiced archery in her spare time since she was young. Upon seeing the guild advertisement, she sprung at the opportunity for adventure, much to her father’s irritation. She works hard and taker her job seriously, but is also easily excitable. [/spoiler]


Bill and Lilly Marigold
[spoiler]Farmers
Ages: (27, 25)
Like: the Marigold family, routine
Dislike: Travel, strange things
Personality: Bill: good natured, fatherly. Lilly: kind, quiet, motherly

“Well, I suppose I could help you kids out a bit.”
Bill is the older cousin of the Marigold children and Lilly is his wife. They are simple folk who are more than fine with making a living selling produce. Even so, they are supportive of the children, and have agreed to give them a hand starting up. Thus the couple have agreed to do harvesting work in the first few floors while the children learn how to handle themselves in the Labyrinth. They act like an aunt and uncle to many of the younger members of the guild. [/spoiler]
