Personality: While she acts the brute, she is far gentler than she would appear. Her brief stint in the army gave her the idea she was invincible and that she is the toughest woman alive.

Her father was a soldier and died while she was still young. Artin was left her father's suit of armor and trained in its use and care.

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. When he's not drinking or sleeping the drinks off, he's doing poetry.

History: Born to a pair of adventurers, Osco grew up listening to his mother's many stories. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a old dungeon. He would wander through that old dungeon and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Osco took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up flail and armor he uses now.
