The immortal

Alex "The Daredevil" Zapata, a 21-year-old human, is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 67 kg. He is an adventurer and explosives expert who dreams of rising quickly within the profession and becoming someone recognized for his own merit.

He was born into a family of small shopkeepers. Although he never lacked anything, Alex always found life among warehouses, merchandise, accounts, and caravans boring. From a young age, he developed a fascination with mechanisms, weapons, and flammable substances, disassembling tools and building small contraptions that didn't always turn out as expected. Upon reaching adulthood, he decided to leave the family business to seek fame and fortune as an adventurer.

He fights using two repeating crossbows, accompanied by a varied collection of bolts: incendiary, paralyzing, and some designed to pierce heavy armor. He also carries vials of flammable resin, which he uses to set traps or improvise solutions during expeditions.

His armor is as makeshift as his fighting style: reinforced leather and secondhand metal plates, repaired and modified by himself. Alex insists on calling it "modular armor," though to many of his comrades it simply looks like a pile of pieces forcibly stitched together.

He is intelligent, creative, and capable of improvising under pressure, but his enormous self-confidence often far outweighs his experience. He easily confuses bravery with recklessness and has a habit of throwing himself into dangerous situations before considering the consequences.

Furthermore, he's in love with Sara Validor and will do practically anything to get her attention. He boasts about his inventions, tries to impress her during missions, and volunteers for the most dangerous tasks. Alex is convinced that one day he'll be a major figure in the guild and, in the process, he'll get Sara to admire him as much as he admires her.

Gnomes are a small race, approximately 1.2 meters tall and weighing around 22 kilograms, with a lifespan of nearly 200 years. Before the Great Green Tide, they primarily inhabited forests and hills, where they built small, closed, and relatively independent communities. Their settlements were usually hidden among vegetation, on hillsides, or beneath hills, using the terrain for protection and to maintain a peaceful life. Their dwellings could be carved into hillsides, integrated into large trees, or built around communal workshops and storehouses.

Each community produced much of what was necessary for survival, although there was active trade between gnome communities. They traded tools, food, materials, mechanisms, crafts, and objects made by their specialists. With other races, however, trade was much more limited. They maintained occasional contact with humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings, but they were not economically dependent on them and preferred to preserve their customs and autonomy.

The gnomes also possessed an ancient military tradition. They were not known for their physical strength, nor did they seek open confrontations. Their doctrine was based on exploiting the terrain through guerrilla warfare, ranged attacks, ambushes, traps, and defensive mechanisms. The forests and hills surrounding their communities could become veritable labyrinths for any invader. Magical illusions also played an important role, used to confuse, conceal positions, and create false threats.

Although they were aware of the existence of the great civilizations and maintained occasional contact with them, the gnomes considered their communities to be practically self-sufficient. Their isolation did not signify hostility toward other races, but rather a strong preference for preserving their independence, their knowledge, and their traditional way of life.

During the fight against the Great Green Tide, heroes emerged who, before the war, would never have imagined becoming historical figures. They weren't professional soldiers, but farmers, hunters, and herders who used their knowledge to protect their communities.

Clara Manzanera came from a family that had been breeding guard dogs for generations. An excellent trainer, she led her animals during combat, using them to protect positions and accompany the improvised charges of the halflings on horseback. In one such charge, they helped clear a path and save several coalition soldiers. Clara called her dogs "my children" and lost many during that week. She survived to see the end of the war and continued breeding dogs for the rest of her life, becoming a key figure in that tradition.

The Honeysweet twins were hunters who, along with other companions, transformed the forest into a guerrilla warfare network. During months of preparation, they dug hidden tunnels, shelters, and paths beneath the forest floor, as well as pits lined with stakes, glue traps, and wasp nests. The hunters would appear, attack, and vanish through the tunnels before the goblins could react. Some enemy groups simply became lost among the traps and hidden trails. After the war, they were remembered as "The Ghosts of the Forest."

Tobias Trigal, standing 1.23 meters tall, was considered a giant among the halflings. A farmer before the war, he fought for days with a spear improvised from a rake. He organized small units, fortified defenses, carried the wounded, and held positions to allow his neighbors to retreat. He survived the battle, but the numerous injuries he suffered left lasting effects that ultimately led to his death years later. His community erected a statue in his honor.

They are just 3 of the many heroes who emerged during those 6 days.

The victory changed the halflings forever. The war destroyed entire families, and some lineages disappeared completely. Generations of adults and youngsters died defending their homes, causing such a profound demographic loss that it took the halflings nearly two centuries to recover their former population.

The loss of so many families had lasting social consequences. For generations, there were villages where almost everyone shared some kinship with the war survivors. Lineages that had lost most of their members were adopted by other families, creating new branches and family ties. The shortage of adults also made orphans the responsibility of the entire community and reinforced the importance of extended families.

Agriculture was vital during the conflict. Their crops, granaries, and livestock supplied the coalition and the refugees, demonstrating the enormous strategic value of their land. After the war, the halflings began to diversify their reserves and build hidden storehouses, avoiding dependence on a single crop.

The old sense of security also vanished. For centuries they had considered wars as someone else's problem; then they realized that the mountains could not protect them forever.

Sunday schools sprang up where children learned archery, concealment, navigation, and survival skills. A six-month military service was also established, while financial incentives encouraged professional military careers. The first instructors were coalition veterans and later halfling veterans.

Each community began preserving the names of the fallen, family stories, and monuments dedicated to the defenders. The anniversary of the battle became a day of remembrance.
But despite that, they never changed their agricultural and commercial identity.

The Great Green Tide approached their lands, and they discovered they were unprepared for war. A coalition of humans, elves, centaurs, and minotaurs arrived with 1,650 soldiers and warned that some 100,000 goblins were heading for the valley. For three months, they trained hunters, trappers, farmers, and artisans to instruct the rest. They built pits, trenches, traps, barricades, and shelters; they improvised armor and weapons from leather, wood, and wagon parts. The hunters prepared for guerrilla warfare, while the breeders trained their dogs to fight alongside the defenders and organized evacuation routes.

When the invasion began, they faced 20,000 goblins; the rest were held back outside the mountains. The mages inflicted heavy casualties, but ultimately had to retreat. The hunters set traps in the mountains and forest, using stones, logs, pits, wasps, and hidden tunnels. They even set fire to part of the forest to slow the Tide. The goblins continued advancing until they reached the fields, where they were met with a hail of arrows. The coalition's cavalry and infantry charged into the disorganized formations and fell back to allow for further ranged attacks.

The battle raged for six days. The halflings fought in trenches, fields, warehouses, and streets, burning crops to slow the enemy. The coalition lost nearly half of its 1,650 soldiers, and the halfling defenders suffered devastating losses. However, several goblin leaders were eliminated, and the Tide ceased receiving reinforcements.

On the sixth day, new coalition soldiers arrived. The goblins, exhausted and disorganized, panicked and began to retreat. The reinforcements and surviving halflings pursued the last groups until they were driven back. Finally, the fighting ended. The survivors didn't celebrate: they simply collapsed where they were and slept. This changed them.

Although halflings never developed a true military tradition, their small size forced them from ancient times to learn how to protect themselves. Their communities, isolated behind great mountain ranges, were accustomed to living off agriculture, livestock, and trade, but their fields and flocks remained exposed to wolves, foxes, wildcats, small groups of orcs, and other dangers that could prove fatal to a creature of their size.

Some families specialized in raising and training guard dogs, capable of detecting and driving away predators before they reached crops or homes. Small watch groups also emerged, made up of farmers, shepherds, and hunters who knew every path, tree, and hiding place in the region. Their purpose was not to fight, but to detect threats, raise the alarm, and keep them away.

The halflings also developed great skill with slings and rudimentary bows. They knew that, against a much larger and stronger enemy, they might only have one chance. Therefore, they learned to shoot with precision and exploit vulnerable points, seeking to incapacitate or force back the adversary before they could get close.

Necessity also made them excellent at concealment. They knew how to move through crops and forests unseen, remain motionless for long periods, and reduce their scent with mud, smoke, and herbs when predators were nearby.

These skills survived even when major threats diminished. A halfling could go his entire life without participating in a battle, but he would likely know how to use a sling, recognize tracks, handle a simple bow, or hide in his own territory.

They didn't learn to fight like the great warriors; they learned to survive without having to.

Their history was intertwined with agriculture, livestock farming, and trade. Their communities thrived for centuries in fertile valleys and plains nestled behind great mountain ranges, far removed from major conflicts. Their geographic isolation meant they were rarely considered a threat. While human kingdoms waged wars, the halflings continued farming, raising animals, and trading with everyone. If a kingdom went to war, they sold their goods; if it was conquered, they continued selling to the new ruler. Their loyalty lay more with their families, villages, and lands than with any foreign crown.

Even when they were conquered, it was more profitable to protect their communities than to fight them. Their biggest historical conflicts were usually disputes between neighbors, capable of ending with a black eye or a dislocated arm, but rarely anything worse.

However, they were never completely defenseless. Some families specialized for generations in raising guard dogs to protect fields and flocks from wolves, foxes, wildcats, and even small groups of orcs. They also developed great skill with slings and rudimentary bows. Because of their small size, they knew that against a much stronger enemy they might only have one chance, so they learned to shoot accurately and retreat before direct confrontation.

Hunters and trappers also possessed techniques of concealment, tracking, and survival. They knew how to hide among crops and forests, reduce their scent, and use the terrain to avoid detection.

Thus, halflings were not warriors, but neither were they defenseless. Their culture had developed a defense based on dogs, marksmanship, knowledge of the terrain, and cunning. For generations, they believed that these skills only served to protect their homes from minor threats. The Great Green Tide would demonstrate that one day they might need to face the world.

Following the War of the Green Tide, the orcs began a slow process of sedentarization that historians consider one of the most significant social phenomena of the post-war era. The devastation of the war disrupted ancient migration routes and forced many clans to settle near water sources, arable land, and trade routes. Others adopted a semi-nomadic lifestyle, alternating periods of movement with extended stays in permanent settlements, while a smaller group fully retained their traditional way of life.

Prolonged contact with other races resulted in an intense cultural and biological exchange. The orcs adopted agricultural techniques, crafts, trade methods, and new customs, while their own traditions spread among neighboring communities. Intermarriage also became more frequent, especially in border regions, leading to generations of mixed ancestry.

Sedentarization did not mean the abandonment of their warrior traditions. In settlements, many combat practices evolved into ritual and sporting competitions. Wrestling, warg races, stone lifting, weapon throwing, and mock battles became ways to demonstrate strength, endurance, and skill without resorting to actual warfare.

At least once a year, large interclan festivals are held, where settled clans and representatives of nomadic groups gather to compete. Winners may receive food, minerals, animals, tools, and, traditionally, marriage arrangements.

These festivals fulfill a fundamental social function: they keep the different clans united, allow rivalries to be resolved through competition, and preserve the orc warrior identity as their society continues to adapt to an increasingly sedentary life.

Orcs are a humanoid race renowned for their formidable physical strength, resilience, and warrior tradition. They typically stand between 1.80 and 2.00 meters tall and weigh between 100 and 140 kilograms, though these proportions vary depending on the region and living conditions. Their skin ranges in color from grayish-green to very dark green. They possess robust, muscular bodies, as well as large fangs that protrude from their jaws and are one of their most distinctive features.

Approximately 85% of their population maintains a nomadic lifestyle based on warrior clans. They travel along ancestral routes in search of water, food, hunting grounds, and pastures for their animals. Wargs are their primary mounts and hold special significance within their culture. A well-trained warg can accompany a warrior throughout their life, forming a bond based on trust and loyalty.

Orca society revolves around the clan. Leaders are typically individuals respected for their strength, experience, and ability to protect others, while elders preserve memory and traditions. Warriors defend the group, and hunters provide much of its sustenance. Prestige is earned through feats of bravery, survival, and service to the clan.

Their constant migration has led to numerous conflicts with human, elven, dwarven, and other races, especially over territory and resources. However, not all orcs are hostile. Approximately 15% live in permanent settlements, border towns, or mixed communities, engaging in trade, agriculture, crafts, or mercenary work.

Orc culture has a strong oral tradition. The stories of their ancestors are passed down through songs, tales, inherited weapons, and battle scars. For many orcs, an honorable life is one that leaves a story worthy of being remembered by future generations.

They are small humanoids, about 80 cm tall and weighing 10–15 kg, agile, resilient, and extremely adaptable. They tend to be cowardly individually, but become aggressive and dangerous when acting in groups. They possess extraordinary genetic plasticity that allows them to develop specialized variants depending on the environment and the role they play.

Despite their reputation, goblins possess a complex civilization. They build cities, fortresses, roads, agricultural systems, mines, workshops, markets, and political and religious organizations. There are farmers, blacksmiths, merchants, alchemists, soldiers, priests, shamans, and numerous other specialized trades. However, this civilization developed primarily within their own species.

Goblin settlements are typically found in inhospitable and difficult-to-reach locations. They maintain extensive trade networks, exchanging food, minerals, tools, weapons, handcrafted goods, and knowledge. A goblin can travel between numerous cities and communities of their kind without needing to establish legitimate contact with other races.

Their relationship with outsiders is very different. Formal trade is rare, and contact is usually made through theft, smuggling, raids, kidnapping, murder, slavery, extortion, espionage, or the hiring of mercenaries. This does not mean that all goblins are criminals: within their own society, they may respect strict laws, protect property, and severely punish crimes.

Herein lies the goblin paradox: they possess a civilization capable of producing agriculture, trade, technology, institutions, and complex cities, yet they maintain a hostile relationship with the civilizations that surround them. For one goblin to steal from another goblin might be a grave crime, but with another species it's a legitimate activity; their civilization ends at the borders of their own community.

Following the defeat of the Great Green Tide, a three-decade war that mobilized tens of millions of goblins, the imperial system—supported by the Goblin Emperor and a complex network of cities and settlements—rapidly lost its capacity to coordinate the population. The defeat not only destroyed their armies but also eliminated a vast proportion of their best warriors, generals, artisans, scouts, alchemists, and community leaders.

The war led to the abandonment of fields, mines, and trade routes. Food shortages triggered a great famine, followed by epidemics that decimated the surviving communities. Without a central authority capable of distributing resources, many cities began to close their borders and compete for fertile land, water, minerals, and food.

The power vacuum led to decades of civil wars. Former allies clashed for control of cities, trade routes, and resources, while different goblin variants developed their own factions and political structures. The destruction of entire populations and the isolation between communities also reduced the genetic diversity of the species.

The crisis had lasting reproductive consequences. Ancient goblins could typically produce litters of four to six offspring, thanks to their rapid growth and short lifespan. After generations of war, famine, disease, and isolation, litters now usually consist of only one or two offspring.

Over time, open warfare gave way to a cold war between goblin communities, characterized by espionage, sabotage, assassinations, and proxy conflicts. Outside races discovered that a divided goblin society posed less of a threat and began to fuel rivalries between settlements through weapons, trade, and intelligence.

Thus, the old Empire disappeared and the goblin communities were fragmented.

Goblins possess extraordinary genetic plasticity that allows them to adapt to their environment and modify their physical and physiological characteristics in just a few generations. This ability is closely related to their specialization: a community subjected for generations to certain conditions, tasks, or influences can develop profound changes, to the point of resembling a distinct variant of the species.

There are numerous variations. The champion goblin develops greater size, strength, and endurance, drawing inspiration from human and orc traits. The ninja goblin possesses agility, balance, and movement similar to that of elves. The burrowing goblin develops a robust physique and adaptations for subterranean life, similar to those of dwarves. Infiltrators combine small size, stealth, and cunning, mimicking qualities associated with gnomes and halflings.

Specialization can also produce functional changes. Alchemical goblins gradually develop resistance to the toxins, poisons, and chemicals they work with. Blacksmiths can develop thicker, heat-resistant skin. Shamans, priests, rangers, farmers, artisans, and other professions can develop particular adaptations after many generations.

The most extreme case are the Goblogros, giants up to four meters tall who retain some of the intelligence and cunning of goblins. They are used as shock troops, guardians, and living battering rams.

The ultimate example is the Goblin Emperor, capable of combining the best characteristics of multiple variants: strength, speed, stamina, intelligence, knowledge, and magical ability. His existence demonstrates the true potential of the species: goblins not only adapt to the world, but they can also transform their own biology to suit the needs of their society.

Occurring 500 years ago, it was the largest recorded goblin military expansion. Nearly 60 million goblins formed the military force, along with an untold number maintaining supply lines and producing resources from numerous communities, were unified under the command of a mysterious Goblin Emperor whose name has been lost to time. According to those who faced him, he stood nearly three meters tall and possessed an exceptional combination of strength, speed, intelligence, cunning, and magical ability. It was said that he could defeat even minotaur and giant warriors in single combat.

The Green Tide swept across the territories of other races, forcing an unprecedented coalition between humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, gnomes, centaurs, minotaurs, various orc clans, and numerous smaller races. Each people contributed their own strengths: humans provided large armies and logistics; dwarves, fortifications and engineering; elves, scouting, archery, and magic; halflings, reconnaissance and infiltration; gnomes, alchemy and technology; centaurs, mobility; minotaurs, heavy troops; and orcs, shock troops.

After three decades of campaigning, the coalition managed to defeat the Green Tide, but the victory was Pyrrhic. Millions of goblins had died, their best leaders had disappeared, and their cities were devastated. The Emperor's fall caused the collapse of the structure that had held the Goblin Empire together. Famines, plagues, civil wars, and intercommunal strife followed.

It is said that the Emperor himself survived the final battle, but was captured and devoured alive by goblins who blamed him for the catastrophe. Without his leadership, the goblin communities were fragmented, and a prolonged cold war began between settlements.

A 56-year-old human, 1.80 m tall and weighing 130 kg. He is a Cardinal of the Great Church of Sunlight and one of its most radical members. Bald, with a broad nose and European features, he possesses an imposing physique: although he is quite heavy, much of it is due to musculature developed over decades of training. He is an efficient fighter even without magic.

Outside of combat, he wears the traditional ecclesiastical cassock; when facing supernatural threats, he dons a full suit of consecrated armor. His primary weapon is a powerful, blessed warhammer. He also carries numerous high-quality sacramentals, such as amulets, relics, and protective objects.

His specialty is blessings, exorcisms, and blessed chains, capable of immobilizing supernatural creatures. His greatest feat is maintaining, by himself, a dome and aura of divine power roughly equivalent to that of seven mid-ranking clerics.

During his youth, a mission ended in disaster when the clerics accompanying him were killed. Theodosius protected a group of civilians for hours with a divine dome until reinforcements arrived. When a powerful vampire attempted to attack them, Theodosius confronted it personally and ultimately killed it with blows from his hammer. Since then, that feat has been one of the most memorable of his career.

Theodosius firmly believes that only humans were truly chosen by the Sunlight. His fanaticism leads him to disregard Church rules if he believes doing so benefits his cause. He is convinced that his extraordinary divine connection proves he has been chosen by the Light, and therefore interprets his actions as justified.

She maintains open hostility toward the Eastern Temple and has publicly denounced its priestesses as heretics for collaborating with the Guild. Despite her controversial methods, her power, experience, and prestige within the Church mean few are willing to challenge her.

Elves are one of the longest-living races in the world. Their lifespan reaches approximately 750 years, although island elves live closer to 500. Their average height is 1.95 meters, with numerous exceptions depending on the variant. They all share a common ancestry and can interbreed, but centuries of adaptation to different environments have resulted in physical, cultural, and magical differences.
The Mountain Elves of the North stand between 1.90 and 2.05 meters tall and possess almost human-sized ears with a slight point. They are resistant to the cold and wield ice magic, using it not only in combat but also to create extremely strong ice bridges, roads, and structures that allow them to cross mountain ranges.
The Elves of the Southern Deserts typically stand between 1.85 and 1.95 meters tall. They have dark skin, platinum or very light hair, and wider ears to dissipate heat. They are experts in runic tattoos: certain runes allow them to temporarily enhance their abilities and move at great speed over long straight distances.
Island Elves are shorter, with an average height of 1.75 meters and a lifespan of around 500 years. They are masters of navigation and possess an extraordinary command of water magic, which they use to propel vessels, harness currents, and facilitate sea voyages.
The Elves of the Deep Forests master magic related to plants and nature, excelling as explorers and trackers.
Those from the Volcanic Lands combine fire and earth, excelling in metallurgy and mineral working.
Those from the Misty Lands control the wind, fog, and certain illusions, while those from the Great Plains use the wind to improve their mobility and transmit messages over great distances.
Variants are not distinct species.

The guild is a 3-story building made of thick oak and stone.
The entrance is a double reinforced and heavy wooden gate; each door requires 3 men to open and close, the windows have iron bars.
The guild is 400 years old, starting as a tavern where mercenaries met and then as a barracks. Eventually, they changed from mercenaries to "adventurers" to improve their image and obtain help from the kingdom or government, depending on the territory where they are based.
The extra subsidies have helped them form a professional, almost military-like group that provides assistance to the armed forces when needed, unlike those drunken, crazy people of 400 years ago.
The guild has a nursing station, inn, dining hall, library, a chapel of the Church of Eternal Light, a training ground, and even a retirement plan for those fortunate enough to reach that age.

Race: Eastern Human | Age: 27 years | Height: 1.55 m | Weight: 42 kg | Occupation: Shaolin warrior nun and adventurer of the Galian Guild.

A young woman with black hair, fair skin, and a petite build, trained for years in martial arts and the mastery of Ki. Her voice is flat and almost expressionless; she is serious, professional, disciplined, and speaks little. She wears a simple red and white combat robe with reinforced leather armor, designed not to restrict her movements, and fights with two short swords.

She possesses an exceptionally large Ki reserve for someone of her size. The nuns at the temple joke that she "stores her Ki in her breasts," a comment Li Mei pretends to ignore, though she secretly finds it amusing and derives a certain satisfaction from noticing the other women's envy.

Her biggest frustration is Ki Flight: she can propel herself to great heights, even close to 100 meters, but she can't control her descent and ends up falling like a stone. Her friend Megumi Tanaka, an expert in this technique, doesn't understand how Li Mei can master more complex techniques and constantly fail to land.

In contrast, he is a prodigy of Soul Fist, projecting a massive blue fist of Ki up to 4 meters. The impact can overwhelm the nerves and muscles of a much larger enemy, paralyzing them for hours, though it consumes enormous amounts of energy. He also masters Silent Step, capable of concealing his movements in short dashes or performing a single, prolonged traverse.

She's excellent at reading intentions through gestures, posture, and movements. She believes that one day this skill will help her find a good husband.

She currently undertakes missions to raise funds for her temple. However, she harbors a secret second goal: to have twelve children, one for each month of the year. Therefore, she carefully observes the men she meets during her missions and discreetly keeps a list of potential candidates.

Yuki Sato, a human of Eastern descent, is 34 years old, 1.65 meters tall, and weighs 56 kg. She is an exorcist priestess at the Eastern Temple of Galian, where she also performs diplomatic duties and occasionally collaborates with the Guild. With very fair skin due to her ceremonial makeup and black hair, her appearance might make her seem delicate, but she possesses a toned physique thanks to decades of martial and spiritual training.

She was orphaned and trained for as long as she could remember to become a priestess, developing great mastery of hand-to-hand combat, swords, and spears. She wears a red and white ceremonial priestess's robes, composed of several flowing layers that reach her feet. Her distinctive gait, perfected over years, makes her appear to glide or float as she approaches, creating a certain unease.

Her specialty is combating supernatural threats through exorcisms, purification, and the containment of dark entities. She can manifest violet spiritual fire in her hands and possesses near-perfect astral projection. However, maintaining it for too long causes severe migraines, nosebleeds, and even loss of consciousness.

Yuki has a maternal personality towards her disciples, projecting onto them the maternal desires she was never able to fulfill. She feels a special affection for Li Mei and Megumi Tanaka, who frequently accompany her as personal guards. She enjoys salty and spicy foods, while detesting citrus fruits, excessive heat, and cowardice. She secretly writes fujoshi-style literature under various pseudonyms.

Her main conflict arises with the Great Church of Sunlight. Although she can destroy necromancers, she is not authorized to purify civilians turned undead; she must limit herself to containing them until Church agents arrive. Witnessing their suffering while she waits for authorization is emotionally breaking her. Furthermore, some radical members call her a heretic.

A 1.85m tall, 120kg half-orc, member of the Galian Adventurers Guild. Son of a human blacksmith who worked for nobles and an orc of the Bonebreaker clan, he grew up between two cultures that he learned to respect and love. His parents remain fundamental people in his life.

From his father, he inherited a remarkable diplomatic skill, though he rarely uses it because he detests negotiating. However, he knows how to read situations, recognize when it's wise to yield, and conduct himself appropriately among merchants and nobles. He also inherited his father's penchant for appearances: his father had a legendary pompadour, and Grit always keeps his clothes, armor, and especially his hair immaculate. Insulting his hair is an excellent way to test his fists.

Grit inherited her enormous strength, stamina, and pride from her mother. Her mother was an excellent negotiator between trading posts and a four-time ox-lifting champion in her valley. Grit admires her deeply.

He wears heavy leather armor reinforced with metal plates, always new, clean, and perfectly polished. His main weapons are a mace and a comet shield. He wields no magic and relies entirely on his physical abilities.

His Fury ability temporarily increases his strength and stamina for a few minutes. When it ends, he returns to his normal state, but prolonged use can leave him exhausted and vulnerable, so he must learn to save it for the right moment.

Grit enjoys fighting, looking good, and visiting Galian's red-light district. He hates not being able to do any of those three things. He has a particular interest in fighting pureblood orcs, not because he hates them, but because he wants to prove to them that a half-orc can earn their respect.
He tends to be abrupt in his communication style.

He's currently trying to forge his own reputation. He doesn't want to be known solely as the son of a human blacksmith or a champion orca. He wants the name Grit Fabbri Bonebreaker to be enough for others to know who he is.

Sari
Naela
Finn constantly heals Sari, and she acts as a living battering ram, striking with her body and shield.

Sari is a human, 7 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 350 pounds, a descendant of ancient crosses between humans and the giants of the southern deserts. She has brown skin, dark brown hair, and a massive, muscular build. Although she retains a human appearance, her giant heritage is evident in her exceptional bone structure, strength, and stamina.

She wears armor of hardened leather and metal plates, designed to protect her without overly restricting her movements. Her primary weapon is a gigantic shield of elven wood reinforced with metal, standing 2.10 meters tall. The wood is covered with runes of lightness that considerably reduce its weight, though even so, it remains too large for most warriors. Sari is one of the few capable of wielding it effectively.

Despite her intimidating appearance, she's a sociable, easygoing, and approachable woman. She enjoys conversation, joking, and sharing stories, though she also loves a good fight. She has a particular attraction to big, muscular men, something she mentions quite openly.

For years she worked protecting caravans and confronting bandits and slavers. Her involvement in anti-slavery groups led her to meet Naela, with whom she developed a close friendship. Later, she met Finn Rennell, an independent healer.

Currently, all three are part of the Great Wall team. Sari acts as the group's first line of defense, advancing directly against the enemy using her shield as a veritable mobile wall. Her immense resilience allows her to function as a living battering ram, while Finn constantly heals her wounds. Naela and Finn can fight by exploiting the space Sari creates around her, making the team a formidable force to be reckoned with.

Race: Southern Desert Elf | Age: 180 years | Height: 1.90 m | Weight: 75 kg

A dark-skinned elf with short, platinum bob hair and noticeably wider ears than other elves—an adaptation that allows her to better dissipate the desert heat. She is athletic and slender, with full lips, a medium bust, and wide hips. Her appearance, bearing, and personality make her one of the three elves considered the most beautiful in the Galian Guild.

Of a playful, mischievous, and sociable nature, he enjoys teasing the men of the guild and flirts especially with Finn, his team's healer. Outside of combat, he wears a full cloak; he finds the Galian climate cold, so during the winter he covers himself excessively, especially his ears. He also avoids moving at high speeds in low temperatures, as the icy air can drastically lower his body temperature.

She fights with a recurve bow and twin daggers. She is an expert at drawing and tattooing runes of speed and flexibility, especially effective on other elves. On other races, their effectiveness depends on magical affinity. The runes greatly increase mobility, but require control: they work best on straight paths, while a miscalculated curve or obstacle can cause a swift movement to end in a dangerous loss of balance.

She can transfer mana through touch or a kiss, a particularly useful ability alongside Finn. She also uses mana to correct the trajectory of her arrows for the first twenty meters.

She maintains a decades-long friendship with Sari, a half-giant she met defending caravans and fighting slavers in the southern deserts. In her youth, she was captured and ended up in one of the Mashyaja harems, where enslaved elves were used as symbols of power. She escaped during an attack by anti-slavery forces.

He is a 26-year-old human, 1.78 meters tall and weighing 75 kg, with fair skin, light blond hair, and an athletic build. He is an independent healer for the Galian Adventurers Guild and a member of the Great Wall team, alongside the desert elf Naela Parih and the half-giant Sari Naik. He wears light clothing reinforced with studded leather and carries a warhammer about 70 cm long, used primarily for self-defense; its point is small and precise, similar to that of a walking stick.

Calm, polite, compassionate, and brave, Finn has a strong sense of justice and detests abuses of power. He enjoys reading, studying medicine, helping others, and healing Naela and Sari. Overly spicy food, injustice, and being called "little doctor" by Sari are among his dislikes. Although he usually remains calm, Naela can easily unsettle him, which she finds amusing.

His natural talent for healing magic was discovered during his adolescence by the Church of the Great Sunlight, where he received medical and magical training. However, he eventually rejected the institution's methods and left its service, obligated to donate 5% of his income for 30 years to pay for his education.

His specialty is ranged healing, allowing him to keep his companions alive during prolonged battles. He also masters Vigor, a technique that can double an ally's strength, stamina, and speed for 30 seconds, though it consumes enormous amounts of mana and physical energy.

His favorite strategy is to keep Sari constantly healed while using Vigor to turn her into a walking fortress. When Finn reaches his limit, Naela can transfer mana to him through physical contact, usually via a kiss, which she finds perfectly practical and Finn finds unnecessarily embarrassing. For Finn, being able to keep his companions standing is the true reason for his existence as a healer.

Age: 19 years
Race: Eastern Human
Height: 1.45 m
Weight: 39 kg
Occupation: Shaolin warrior nun and adventurer of the Galian Guild.
She is short in stature, with a slender build, pale skin, and Asian features. She has short, black hair tied back in a small bun. Her appearance might make her seem fragile, but she possesses an exceptional talent for manipulating ki. She is eccentric, curious, and cheerful, with a marked fondness for sweets and cats. She often incorporates Japanese expressions into her conversations. Although she may appear absentminded, she demonstrates great concentration and discipline during combat.

She wears a knee-length red and white combat tunic, accompanied by a simple leather breastplate that encircles her entire torso as a single piece, along with basic armor on her forearms, thighs, and shins, as well as reinforced gloves. Her equipment is designed to protect her without restricting her movement.

Megumi uses ki to enhance her strength, speed, and reflexes, amplify her strikes, and withstand impacts. She can also use it to slightly accelerate the recovery from minor injuries. She is especially skilled in Ki Flight, a technique that concentrates large amounts of energy in her legs to propel herself up to 100 meters high. During her descent, she can release ki to control her trajectory and even glide briefly. She also masters Silent Step, allowing her to move undetected over short or long distances.

She was given to the Shaolin Temple as a child and from a young age demonstrated extraordinary natural talent. Her best friend is Li Mei, with whom she grew up and trained, developing an almost inseparable relationship.

She currently undertakes missions for the Galian Guild to raise money for the temple, though her true motivation is to travel and see the world. She dreams of discovering new cultures, learning different techniques, trying every sweet imaginable, and finding cats everywhere she goes.

The High Elves are one of the oldest, most mysterious, and most feared races in the world. While a common elf can live between 700 and 800 years with good health, it is believed that High Elves can reach 5,000 years, perhaps even more. No one knows their true lifespan. There is an ancient warning: never ask them their age. It is said that an ambassador who did so was instantly turned to ashes. No one knows if it actually happened; the High Elves have never confirmed nor denied the story.

Today, small High Elf kingdoms exist within other territories, but they retain their sovereignty. They maintain extremely limited foreign relations and usually deal only with monarchs, powerful families, or extremely important merchants. An ordinary elf can live their entire life without ever encountering one.

Their reputation also stemmed from ancient wars. Some kingdoms attempted to conquer them to seize their magic and knowledge. Those who tried vanished mysteriously. The most famous case is the so-called Day of Silence: an entire kingdom was emptied in a single day. Soldiers disappeared, leaving weapons and armor behind; food remained in the houses, and tools and weapons were left unfinished in the forges. There were no corpses, no blood, no signs of battle. The population simply vanished.

Scholars still debate what happened. Some believe it was magic capable of erasing people, others that they were transported to another place or dimension. The High Elves never offered an explanation.

Their true power remains unknown. They possess magical knowledge that other races barely comprehend, and they rarely display their abilities. They have no need to conquer vast territories or maintain enormous armies: they simply remain, observing as kingdoms and dynasties rise and fall.

Hence the ancient maxim: no one who challenges the High Elves lives to tell the tale.

Race: Halfling
Age: 60 years
Height: 1.00 m
Weight: 21 kg
Skin: White, with European features
Hair: Brown, usually tied back in a ponytail when working
Magic: None
Occupation: Crossbowman and capture specialist of the Galian Adventurers Guild.

She is a halfling who is somewhat more serious than usual, patient, and observant. She possesses a peculiar sense of humor and occasionally makes inappropriate comments or jokes while maintaining a serious expression. Her small size does not affect her confidence; in fact, she enjoys demonstrating that she doesn't need to be physically strong to stop an enemy.

She wears simplified leather armor, designed to not restrict her movement, along with a metal plate skirt, forearm and shin guards, and a small backpack for tools and ammunition. She always fights barefoot. Her large, fur-covered feet are a source of pride, and she doesn't allow anyone to criticize them.

His primary weapon is a light crossbow with bolts coated in a moderately paralyzing poison. He doesn't aim to kill, but rather to temporarily reduce his targets' defensive capabilities. His true specialty is his glue grenades, which he personally manufactures using pine resin, fungi, and other ingredients. After years of perfecting the formula, he achieved a mixture capable of expanding and hardening around a leg or arm, immobilizing even a grown man.

He discovered his calling in the Galian Guild, where he specialized in capturing fugitives, bandits, and live targets. He particularly enjoys pursuing those trying to escape: he studies the terrain, anticipates their routes, and uses obstacles and traps before firing. His philosophy is simple: "I don't need to be stronger than the target. I just need to stop them from running."

She lives with Bron the dwarf and Ceniza, Bron's adopted daughter. Many believe that Pipa and Bron are married; they just live in the same house, though she doesn't bother to clarify.

Race: Dwarf | Gender: Male | Age: 200 years | Height: 1.40 m | Occupation: Adventurer of the Galian Guild.
He is a veteran dwarf of robust and compact build, with white skin and Germanic features, black hair streaked with gray, and an enormous beard that is approximately 50% gray. His beard is so long that it can be wrapped around his torso, which he uses as a kind of sash to keep it tucked in during his adventures. He wears standard dwarven armor, sturdy and simple, without unnecessary adornment. He primarily fights with a battle-axe and also carries a blunderbuss for ranged engagements.

Bron possesses a firm, patient, and persevering character. He is a good leader, capable of remaining calm when things go wrong and making decisions under pressure. His greatest virtue is his determination: he doesn't give up as long as there's still a chance to continue. He doesn't need to be the strongest warrior to inspire confidence; his comrades know he would never abandon them willingly.

Bron has a unique relationship with Ceniza. When she seeks his company, he adopts a paternal and protective attitude, though without trying to control her life. He might simply sit beside her, offer her food, or listen when she decides to talk. For him, caring for someone means being there when that person needs him.

As a member of the Galian Adventurers' Guild, he accepts numerous commissions, but there's one he never refuses: boar hunts. He has a peculiar fondness for confronting them and frequently finds himself in comical situations. On one occasion, his axe became stuck in a huge boar that kept running, dragging him along. Bron had several opportunities to free it, but he flatly refused.

"I'm not letting go of my axe!"

At 200 years old, Bron continues to venture out not to prove his worth, but because he still enjoys the roads, the battles, and, above all, a good hunt.

Ash
Race: Elf (secretly High Elf) | Gender: Female | Age: Unknown, officially 80 years old | Height: 1.40 m | Weight: 32 kg

Ash appears to be an extremely pale, thin, and frail teenager. Her body is almost entirely covered in old burn scars, except for her face, arms, and feet. She has short, black, messy, and dirty hair, and a raspy voice. She wears a faded red cloak over a threadbare, dark suit that she refuses to take off; beneath it, her numerous bandages are visible.

Her personality changes depending on the situation. Normally, she displays almost complete indifference to the world. When her body begins to emanate fire, she becomes cold, cruel, and disturbingly psychopathic. With Bron Ironfist, however, she adopts a childish and spoiled attitude: she demands attention, may ask him to feed her directly, and shows an almost innocent fascination with the colored matches Bron gives her to keep her quiet.

Her past is unknown. It's possible that, during a time when she was still vulnerable, she was captured by orcs during a conflict. They bound her and brutally burned her, but somehow she survived. No one knows what happened to her captors afterward. Among the orcs, there has existed for generations the legend of a Fire Banshee, a small, scarred creature that appears in camps, kills some warriors, and leaves others alive to spread fear.

Ash possesses telekinesis, capable of attracting objects and using it to float when he doesn't want to walk. His true power is fire, which emanates directly from his body and can be launched as projectiles. When he becomes enraged, some claim to have seen something resembling lava erupt from his scars.

He uses a wizard's staff to feign fire, though he doesn't actually need to. He occasionally accompanies Bron on missions for the Galian Guild.

-Pipa Monteverde uses halflings with a crossbow and her glue grenades to capture.
-Ash fire elf mage.

A 28-year-old human, she stands 1.65 meters tall and works as a receptionist at the Galian Guild, under the orders of Thalas Homilion. She has fair skin with freckles, short reddish-brown hair, and a headband that she usually wears as part of her everyday appearance. She wears glasses and has a slender build, an inverted triangular silhouette, and a small bust. Her uniform is simple and functional, inspired by the attire of a pre-Victorian municipal worker.
With a nervous and somewhat insecure personality around strangers, Lenna can become jovial, talkative, and playful once she feels comfortable. At work, she's responsible and quite professional, ranking between Velra and Thalas in discipline. However, she has a clear weakness for attractive men: if a cute guy appears, she'll hardly miss the opportunity to observe him or talk to him. She dreams of getting married and finding her own "Prince Charming," influenced by the romantic stories she enjoys so much.
She possesses a rare Restoration magic, a talent that appears only occasionally in her family. She can repair damaged objects and mend minor fractures or broken bones. Her family, fearing that this ability might attract the attention of nobles, mages, or anyone interested in exploiting it, taught her from childhood to keep it a secret. Because of this, Lenna practically never uses it and has never received formal magical training.
Her true potential is unknown, even to herself. Lenna fears her abilities might be far more powerful than she imagines. Sometimes, her mind jumps to a childish, exaggerated conclusion: what if one day she could restore everything and become some kind of all-powerful goddess? She knows it's probably just a silly fantasy, but not knowing the limits of her magic unsettles her.
For now, Lenna prefers a quiet life: working at the Guild, avoiding drawing too much attention to herself, and, with a bit of luck, finding her prince charming.

Velra Dannato
Race: Tiefling | Gender: Female | Age: 24 years | Height: 1.70 m | Weight: not specified | Lifespan: similar to human.
Occupation: Receptionist at the Guild of Galian, subordinate of Thalas Homilion.
Magic: Basic Thaumaturgy.

Velra has purple skin, completely yellow eyes, and long horns, of which she is particularly proud. She has a healthy build and a triangular silhouette, with relatively narrow shoulders and wider hips, as well as generous curves without being overweight. Her work uniform is simple and practical, in keeping with the pre-Victorian style of the guild.

She is playful, jovial, and spontaneous, though not particularly flirtatious. She enjoys chatting with adventurers, listening to their stories, and making lighthearted jokes. Her main flaw is that she can be unprofessional: she gets distracted, talks too much, and sometimes procrastinates. However, when a situation truly demands it, she proves to be responsible and capable. She has a good memory and a knack for dealing with people.

Born into a humble tiefling family, she learned from a young age to accept her appearance rather than hide it. She turned her demonic features, especially her horns, into a source of pride. During her youth, she discovered a small affinity for magic and learned thaumaturgy, though she never reached the level necessary to become a great sorceress.

Her talent for dealing with people led her to the Galian Guild, where she ended up under the supervision of Thalas Homilion. She deeply respects and trusts Thalas, though she often tests his patience with her easygoing nature.

Velra is also very competitive and enjoys dominating men who are physically larger than her, especially when they underestimate her because of her size. For her, it's a mixture of challenge, pride, and fun.

Her goal is to become an indispensable member of the guild without giving up her personality or being ashamed of being a tiefling.

Appearance: She is a tall, slender elf with olive skin, green eyes, and grayish-blonde hair. She has a well-proportioned figure, particularly noticeably thick thighs by elven standards. Her beauty is widely recognized, and she is often ranked among the ten most beautiful elves associated with the guild. Her elegant and serene demeanor reflects her three centuries of experience.

Personality: She is calm, observant, curious, and intellectual. She prefers to analyze before acting and enjoys acquiring new knowledge. Her three centuries of life have granted her a patient and contemplative perspective. She has seen several generations born, grow, and die, developing a slightly melancholic nature and a deep appreciation for memories, people, and moments that time eventually takes away.

Magic: She possesses a great affinity for healing. She can close wounds, stop bleeding, accelerate recovery, and stabilize seriously injured people. She also masters water magic, capable of manipulating large quantities of liquid to attack, defend, and control the terrain. Her style is based on precision and control, avoiding wasted energy.

Galian Guild: She has worked there for 150 years. During her first century, she performed various administrative and reception duties, accumulating a wealth of experience. Fifty years ago, she was appointed head of receptionists. She coordinates staff, oversees documents, and maintains the department's operations with exceptional efficiency. She possesses an extraordinary memory for names, events, and records.
For several generations of adventurers, Thalas has become a permanent presence in the guild: a woman who remembers those whom the passage of time has forgotten.
