Naroth lived in an isolated village on the mountain side of the Cyrios Mountains. He is large always has been and always will be which is why he was destined to be a part of the Villages Militia as well as one of the ones in charge of the hunting groups. One of the foraging trips he came across an older human, named Bom Fevat, that was being attacked by several trolls. Naroth laughed at the man and decided to watch the battle, knowing full well the Trolls were going to kill the human. To his surprise Bom attacked the trolls with a relish and surprisingly seemed to always be in two pales at the same time. The trolls were easily vanquished and Naroth came up to the man expressing his awe at such a feat and requested to learn form the man. Thank fully Bom was impressed at the skills and the size of Naroth and accepted, it has been several years now and Naroth has embraced the ways of the Echo Knight.
Unfortunately Naroth found out while he was training with Dom that his tribe was wiped out by an unknown enemy and he returned to a devastated village. He blames himself for his family and friends deaths and has vowed to hunt down whoever killed the people he used to take care of and has also vowed to help anyone in need. He wandered the land helping out where he could and then met a group of like minded adventures and has been traveling with them for quite sometime. Essentially adopting them as his new family who also merit his protection.
Name: Griff the Gentle Race/Class: Half-Orc Paladin (Oath of Redemption) Backstory: Griff was raised in the city, but exiled when his anger overtook him leading to an unfortunate encounter with a noble. In exile he wandered the land, turning his mind inward to control his former outbursts and redeem himself for the actions of the past. He often helped the smallfolk he encountered during his travels, finding some renown among the local villages. Those he helped began to call him Griff the Gentle, and the moniker stuck. It was during this time that Griff joined up with the party to continue his good deeds and has been travelling with them since. Character Sheet: https://ddb.ac/characters/26421383/ZCbgqv

Yuri grew up on the streets & quickly learned he wasn't the toughest, nor the fastest, he wasn't even the smartest; but he could endure the hardships better then the other street children. He had willpower to overcome any obstacle to his goal of becoming a wizard. A wizard had true power, real power; but that required schooling. School required gold, gold he didn't have. He fell back on his skills he learned on the streets. The street rat became a thief, a common criminal to finance his dream. That all ended the day he met Fiona. She was a star walking on earth. She had a celestial beauty within her & saw a similar, though different spark in Yuri.
Under Fiona's guidance he realized the power he craved was within him all along. She taught him what a Sorcerer was & how to master the mystical power within his very being. He learned his magic was different then hers. Her magic was based upon the celestial powers, while his was drawn from a draconic ancestor. The awakening of his powers, also awakened a covetous aspect of his personality. He began to view Fiona as his treasure to secure away from all others. They fought & in the end he drove her away.
He has reached his dream & has powers he dreamed of; but the cost was steep. He now wanders the land as an adventurer; but always he seeks fair Fiona of the silver hair.
Backstory: I flew the nest as a troubled 2 year old. Joined a local mercenary outfit, who trained my to be a scout. I had a disagreement with my captain and decided to try my luck as a sell-scout. I've been wandering around the countryside for the last few months, doing a job here and there. Now it is time to find a more reliable income.

Lokethos used to be a soldier, always on the road, fighting various monsters that would arise. His life wasn’t ever what he had dreamed of. He had a yearning for magic, but instead he was stuck in the mud for days on end, surrounded by the death of friends and foes alike. When one of his close friends fell due to an idiotic decision by his commander, Lokethos soon deserted, not willing to lose his life for the mistakes of a fool. He studied the art of music, using it as an escape from his past demons. Eventually, a bard took note of Lokethos’ talent, and taught him how to weave magic into song. He was content for a time, performing to make a living, but something still didn’t sit right with him. While he could finally have the life he wanted, others like him were still out there with no escape. Lokethos has since taken to the life of an adventurer, seeing it as an opportunity to be able to aid others like him and not be constrained by foolish superiors. This is what has lead him to Shadycreek, a town clearly in need of all the help it can get.

A voice spoke out from the flames, telling him that "There is more to life than you think." After the incident, Blaze felt called to abandon his studies and begin life anew, living it to the fullest. He retreated into the woods to discover himself, only to discover the evils lurking there. So he joined said party in order to combat the evil.
