Name- Izabel DeMarche
Race- Lycan (Merchant Breed)
Gender- Female
Hair,Fur, Feather Cut and Color- Mid-back length, light brown hair.
Age- 24
Personality- Pragmatic, easygoing, materially possessive, friendly, opportunistic.
Class or Job- Hired muscle. Can use fire magick, but is unable to focus it into anything more than an uncontrolled burst.
Equipment- A thin, flexible blade; main gauche dagger; several pouches containing flash pellets, fire gel pellets (napalm, basically), caltrops, fast-acting adhesive bombs (for those pesky chasers), and smoke bombs.
Background History- Izabel and her sister, Risha, were born into a family of nobles. Being the younger of the two, Izabel would not be burdened with the position of inheritance, which gave her considerably more freedom than her older sister. All of that changed quite abruptly, however, when the farmers and serfs rebelled against her parents' rule, setting fire to their estate and forcing them from their land. Their mother lost her mind soon after, and not long following, their father was discovered dead in a ditch, reeking of alcohol.
The next day, the two sisters set out to make a life for themselves, leaving behind who they were in order to shape who they would become.

Name- Risha DeMarche
Race- Lycan (Merchant Breed)
Gender- Female
Hair,Fur, Feather Cut and Color- Short, shoulder-length brown hair.
Age- 27
Personality- Proud, taciturn, protective, pious, callous.
Class or Job- Hired Muscle
Equipment- Longsword; parrying dirk; a pair of pouches full of powdered glass.
Background History- Unlike her sister, who lived a pampered life in comparison, Risha was in line to inherit her family's land. Each day was spent learning all of the ins-and-outs of rulership, the arts of war, as well as the arts of being a lady. The little time she had for herself was spent with her sister, teaching her how to wield a blade in defense, though she doubted that the girl would ever need that skill.
After their expulsion, Risha worked many jobs to help support their floundering family, but whenever the opportunity presented itself, she found herself working as a mercenary alongside her sister.
For the first time in her life, she tasted the freedom that she had always yearned for.

Name- Tomak the Scarred
Race- Lycan (Working Breed)
Gender- Male
Hair,Fur, Feather Cut and Color- A well-groomed coat of grey-and-black fur.
Age- 26
Personality- Dour, misanthropic, detached, sombre.
Class or Job- Hired Muscle. Has become quite adept at using lightning magicks, and has recently become able to use them without the aid of a focus (such as a crystal, or a wand).
Equipment- An oddly-shaped, jewelled ring; a focusing staff.
Background History- At a young age, Tomak showed signs of natural magickal ability. He was born into a rather poor family, so whenever a local Wizard heard of his budding aptitude and offered to raise and teach him, his family was fast to oblige. For years, the man sternly taught the boy, oftentimes punishing him harshly for what seemed like minor mistakes. As time went on, the Wizard became more and more reclusive, leaving Tomak to hone his abilities on his own for sometimes days on end. When the man finally did emerge from his private study, his demeanor toward Tomak was cold, almost hostile at times, leading the young apprentice to believe that the man was going crazy.
His suspicions were confirmed when, while they were training one day, an errant mistake on Tomak's part sent his master into such a rage that he unleashed a bolt of lightning into the boy that sent him hurtling into a wall over ten feet away. His flesh charred, the boy began to furiously channel the same energy to throw back at his master. Losing himself, he did not realize his error until it was too late: The resulting explosion shook half the town, leaving both the Wizard's house and many of the surrounding homes in absolute ruin.
Fearing for his life, he gathered up his things as quickly as possible, stopping only to take his former master's staff and a small ring from his charred remains, and set out to put as much distance between him and the town as possible.
It was later that he met up with Izabel and Risha while on the road, and was allowed to join their group, thus beginning a newer, more secure chapter his life.
