Description: He wears a brown costume with the symbols of death on his torso. He is bristling with hidden weapons, mostly hand crossbows and warhammers. He sports a flattop hair cut. He wears round tiny glasses practically rammed into his face.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. He is a font of random trivia from the lore and stories he has discovered

History: Born to a Sculptor, his father struggled to pay the bills. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Odo grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Odo. He was always very intelligent and has formed a secret society of specialists.

Motivation: He feels that his past leaves him morally obligated to help; and to share knowledge with the world

Description: She wears a blue tunic with grey highlights, and long green pants that bunch up around her shoes. She carries a battered nunchaku and tarnished greatsword as well. Her moppish white hair is in a traditional bowl cut. Her amber eyes have a joyful gleam in them most of the time.

Personality: She is extraordinarily eccentric. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Symma is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

Personality: She is enamored with her job. She loves it. She likes the challenge and she likes helping those less fortunate than her. Right-Handed enjoys physical pleasures, and is well known for her love of warm baths in the hot springs near the town.

History: Her mother raised her in a mountain cabin. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there.
