GordanAge: 21
Story: Gordan was once a high-society nobleman. With the announcement of his engagement to the Emperor's Secretary, Gordan was in good standing with all. At least, this was true of him by day. By night he was the cities finest cat burglar. There was almost nothing this man could not steal. Being a man of wealth he had no need for the goods he took, no, to him it was merely sport.
Of course, petty thievery didn't fulfill him for long and a failed attempt at stealing the Leucian family crown saw him on death row. Unwilling to accept such a gruesome fate, Gordan escaped. He quickly ran into Arthur, his old
childhood best friend and a rebel he became.
Having apparently learned nothing from his days as a nobleman, Gordan is far too cocky for his own good.

Clobber: If Gordan has lower HP (as a percentage) than his target, Clobber will stun for 8 turns in addition to dealing damage.
ArthurAge: 22
Story:The Leucia-Echland war claimed many lives, Arthur's father among them. He watched as Radek assumed power. He watched as people he knew from his childhood were taken away by the executioners. He watched as the city transformed.
There had to be a better way, he thought to himself. This couldn't be the best path forward, and so he kissed his mother on the forehead and went on his way. He left the city his purpose now clear: he would find another way. Soon after he founded the rebels alongside a group of old friends.
Buoyed by the stories he heard during his childhood Arthur has always been a deeply curious soul. Some say this makes him morally ambiguous as he's willing to follow almost any path that catches his fancy. It's perhaps fortunate that he's anchored by a fierce loyalty and a strong sense of purpose.

TaraAge: 20
Story:5 years ago, only weeks after Radeks takeover, Cameron (whom she was very close to), came to her with the idea of leaving the city. They were to move to the country where they no longer had to fear the harshness of the new regime. She pleaded with her parents to go with them. Their parents, fearing severe repercussions for leaving the city, instead disowned the two children telling them to go if they had to but to never come back. In tears, Tara left the city.
Before the fall of Echland Tara's family was of reasonable wealth and so she lived a sheltered but happy early life. A stark contrast to the life she is forced to live in exile and as such she continues to adapt. She often feels she has something to prove and so can be a risk taker.

CameronAge: 24
Story:Believing Radek to be insane, Cameron made the decision to flee the city along with his sister, Tara. Disowned by his parents,
Tara became the only family member to feature in his life and as such he became very protective of her.
Cameron is brash. He doesn't care much about the feelings of anyone else (except Tara) and is willing to go to any extreme to complete his goals. Ultimately he's angry at his place in life and desperately wants to live in a different world. One where happiness doesn't have to be stolen. He strongly resents the Emperor.

Anya & Xavier Age: 24 & 28
Story:Luganians always tended to live sheltered, safe lives. The small independent nation was often seen as a large cult by those from neigbouring countries, a good cult, but a cult all the same.
When Lugania was wiped out by Radek only two survived. During the heat of battle the two siblings attempted to escape beneath a crag in the cave. They were sure to be discovered if not for a veil cast over them by a luganian elder with his last breath. They sat there in each others arms, only able to watch as every member of their people was brutally murdered.
Xavier, not afraid to make his own decisions, is more than happy to harbour a lust for revenge.
Anya on the other hand looks only for a place where Luganian ideals can survive in the modern world. She seeks
preservation for her race.
Emperor RadekAge: Unknown
Story:Radek was always much too clever for his own good. His only weakness became his lack of control over his most primal of emotions. His anger was his Achilles Heel and the caretakers of the Leucian palace quickly learned to avoid his outbursts.
The story of the prince who rose to claim power over half the world varies wildly depending on who you ask. However, a few things are agreed upon by most:
- That he was unhappy with the way his father ruled Leucia.
- That the late king came to a mysterious end allowing Radek to ascend to the throne.
- That he declared war on Echland only a few days later.
- That he led the unit of elite soliders that wiped out Lugania in a single night.
- That he declared himself global Emperor shortly after Echland fell.
One thing people can't quite agree upon are his motives and for a man who conquered the world he sure seems troubled...
