6 heroes

Once a month, all the heroes come to a special meeting where each of them must be present.

The celestial dome above the continent cracked, releasing streams of primordial corruption that awakened the ancient legions of the Abyss. Local magical academies and kingdoms were powerless in the face of the impending catastrophe, as the elemental sources dried up one by one.
Obeying an ancient prophecy, the priests performed a forbidden ritual of great summoning, transporting six chosen ones from other worlds to the vast marble hall of the ancient temple. There, barely recovered from the flash of light, each of them instinctively summoned their relic: a katana, a light mace, a bow, a rapier, combat wraps, and a shield.
The local rulers announced their task to the heroes: each of them must assemble their own independent squad, travel to different corners of the chaos-ridden world, and close the gates of the Abyss, which threaten to completely destroy reality.

Akari: Sharp and fast. She doesn't trust anyone and keeps to herself. As long as she doesn't interfere with the squad's defense, she can do whatever she wants.

Darina: Stubborn. She tries to hold together people who share nothing but a common calling. But her stubbornness saves us from total chaos.

Mark: Understands the value of discipline. He thinks clearly and acts prudently. He's the only one you can discuss tactics with without unnecessary chatter.

Alexander: Too much talk and showmanship. However, in a critical situation, he thinks with his head and doesn't panic. He'll survive.

Mateus: Too loud and agile. Energy overflows like a faulty generator. But at close range, it's deft—it's difficult for an enemy to pin down.

Akari: A creepy girl. She disappears into the shadows and reappears with a cold gaze. It's best not to get caught in her crossfire, or she might decide to test her blade on me.

Darina: Kind, but strict. Constantly trying to feed, organize, or protect. A tough girl, although her bossy manner is sometimes endearing.

Mark: A real commanding officer! Strict, proper, and looks at you like you've screwed up again during training. A bit stuffy, but in a critical moment, I'd obey his orders.

Alexander: This guy just shows off. He's always adjusting his clothes and spouting off some high-flown phrase. But he carries himself with confidence, you can't deny that.

Eric: A huge polar bear! I tried to joke with him a couple of times, but he didn't even bat an eye. But you can hide behind his shield from any monster, and he won't even flinch.

Akari: A small, wild cat with a sharp katana. She views everyone as a potential enemy. It's funny to watch her try to act cooler than an iceberg.

Darina: A noble soul with a heavy mace at the ready. She tries to play the role of mother to us all, which is sometimes amusing, but her sincerity is disarming. The main thing is not to provoke her to anger.

Mark: A classic soldier with a worn-out sense of humor. Everything is by the book, everything is by the book. It's boring, predictable, but behind his broad back you can calmly study the local artifacts.

Mateus: An energetic street dancer who sees this terrifying new world as a vast parkour playground. His inexhaustible optimism will either save us or drive us mad.

Eric: A monolithic structure of flesh, muscle, and a complete lack of desire for small talk. It's impossible to hold a literary conversation with him, but as a living wall, he's impeccable.

Akari: A dangerous loner. Too young for such agility and stealth, but her reflexes are those of a good special forces soldier. If she learns to work in a team, she'll be useful; if not, she'll become a danger to herself.

Darina: The linchpin of this motley crew. She tries to keep everyone's morale high, even though it's hard on her own. She has an inner steel core, but too much pity for others could be her undoing.

Alexander: An intellectual with aristocratic airs. He thinks too much about the beauty of movement and theory, but his analytical mind has helped him find breaches in his defenses several times. Tolerable.

Mateus: Too fidgety, lacking discipline and subordination. However, his agility and speed in close combat make up for his lack of military training. He just needs to channel that energy.

Eric: A tough fighter who understands the value of defense. He's the only one who understands the concept of "holding a position" without question. He's a great reconnaissance companion.

Akari: A reserved, prickly girl who clearly matured too early. Her coldness and tendency to act alone are frightening, but I'll try to reach out to her—she simply needed some real warmth.

Mark: You can sense the seasoning of a professional soldier. He's too harsh and cold in his judgments, but when it comes to protecting the weak, he does the right thing. You feel safe with him, although it's hard to argue.

Alexander: He's smart and well-read, but his habit of showing off and playing the cynical is tiresome. I hope this showiness doesn't backfire on him in a real fight.

Mateus: He's still just a kid, a nervous wreck. He's always smiling and joking, but behind that frivolity lies a ferocious reflex. We should keep an eye on him, to make sure he doesn't get into trouble.

Eric: A silent giant. He hardly speaks, but he does more than anyone else. I respect such reliable people—words are often empty, but actions speak for themselves.

She (Darina): She's irritating with her excessive optimism and desire to save everyone, but I have to admit—her jars and shining prayers have saved my life more than once. I stick close to her simply because she's loud, and against her background, I can't be heard at all in the dark.
He (Mark): Too proper, an old warrior who thinks he's in control. His habit of giving orders is annoying, but he's a good shot and knows how to sit quietly in ambush. For now, I tolerate him as a useful tool.
He (Alexander): A narcissistic peacock with a toothpick as a weapon. He constantly tries to act like an intellectual and spouts jargon that makes my jaw ache. Although I admit: his rapier tricks are great for distracting enemies while I sneak up on them.
He (Mateus): The local battery-powered clown. Always jumping around, smiling, and making inappropriate jokes. I don't understand how anyone can be so carefree in this hell. But he moves quickly in a fight—at least he distracts the crowd of monsters.
He (Eric): A stone block, completely displaced. He said maybe ten words the entire trip, and even those were irrelevant. But behind his broad back and that damned shield, you really do feel like you're behind a concrete wall. I respect him for not asking unnecessary questions.
