A group of heroes

Everyone who was supposed to go on the journey stood near the portal leading to the Misty Forest. You, in ready gear and with a backpack. Kaori is an 18-year-old Japanese girl. She had just finished school when she was summoned to another world as a saint. She has long dark hair with bangs, brown eyes, and is short. Now the girl is standing in trousers, a tunic with a saint's embroidery, and a staff. She also had a backpack, but it was taken from her by monk Aldrick: a tall, strong man with rough features. With a high bun and a quarterstaff. Next to her stood Captain Rightheart - a muscular man almost two meters tall with rough features, a scar running across his cheek. He stood clad in light armor, with a shield and sword. With a huge backpack. He was talking about something with Sir Valoric: a tall, muscular man with stubble on his face and short hair. He held a spear in his hands and was dressed in light armor. Next to them stood the red-haired archer Elara. Stern, short, and fragile-looking. And the court mage Arcturus himself. He was the only one whose belongings were floating in the air. He looked at everyone mockingly and lazily. He was dressed in a robe. What he was wearing underneath was unclear. He had long, blue-black hair and amber eyes.
You and your squad stand in the teleportation circle and find yourself near a misty forest (the closest exit point for the teleport; no teleportation can be created closer than this). The captain surveys the area and begins leading your squad straight into the forest. Your journey has begun. "Follow me," the captain's voice calls out.
