Guardians of the Glacier #10: The Thief

            Growing up under the cover of darkness and embrace of shadows, the Thief was cloaked from the world’s view. Rumors had him connected to all four Realms, but no one knew for sure which one he came from, nor which one he was in at any given time. He was a mysterious man with a mastery of pickpocketing. Outside of that there is virtually nothing known about him or his past, thus there is very little to be said on this subject.

Guardians of the Glacier #9: The Saint

           Outside the temptations of Earthly pleasures, the Saint grew up a near perfect embodiment of the church. He was compassionate with his faith and inconsiderate of others’ beliefs, making him the ideal candidate to lead their cleansing efforts in an attempt to purify the world. And unlike the Martyr, the Saint accepted the role the church assigned him and became the instrument he was destined to be. He was a demon slayer and a very good one at that. And because of how loosely the church used the word demon, he always had work to do. His journey to the Frozen Abyss would be no different.

Guardians of the Glacier #8: The Scholar

           Under the vast wealth of draining knowledge in the world, the Scholar grew up absorbing as much of it as he could before it would become lost forever. Thus he spent the entirety of his childhood achieving the highest level of education money could buy, learning from the most respected minds the world could offer. For eight hours a day he would listen intently to the scholars he wished to someday be, while spending the remainder of his free time in the library and visiting history museums. He was a boy with an appetite for information and a retrospective hunger that slowly began to starve.

Guardians of the Glacier #7: The Swordsman

           Brought up under the teachings of an all but worn out blade, the Swordsman grew up a fighter. The ways of discipline and combat were all he knew, having been trained by a legendary sparring master, one who was renowned for his feats both as a warrior and as a nobleman. Thus the Swordsman felt extremely grateful every second of the fifteen years he spent under his master’s guidance, having started his training whilst he was but a boy. His teacher was a man of great poise and stature, and he wished to someday be a man of equal resolve. Such a dream would take a lot of hard work and persistence to achieve he knew, but his master would expect nothing less.

Guardians of the Glacier #6: The Sage

          Growing up in the crowded, city streets of the Eastern Realm, the Sage somehow still managed to always find herself alone because of how she viewed the world so drastically different than the rest. Whereas they saw with lapses in both reason and sense, she was wise beyond her years. Nobody understood her logic and thus she lived almost unnoticed. Some, however, did come to pay her visits in the lonely shack she called her home, though that was only due to the fact that she had a bit of a talent for predicting people’s futures. She was a seer and offered her services as such. Unfortunately though, this gift of foresight was also what ultimately forced her to abandon her home.

Guardians of the Glacier #5: The Prince

        Amongst the vast deserts of the Southern Realm there is little life to be found, though it has nothing to do with a lack of population. After all, there is no shortage of people to be found here. Hordes of all kinds of folks bear the uncomfortable heat of the region simply to live within close proximity of the King’s palace, which rests at the center of the sand’s only city. Thus the Prince grew up surrounded by wealthy, boring nobles who sat sweating in their chairs, unable to define excitement. The heat may have contributed greatly to their lifelessness, but the Prince honestly believed that their actions wouldn’t have changed much had it not been so hot. They were pathetic Lords in his mind, living under a truly magnificent King.

Guardians of the Glacier #4: The Witch

        Born the child of a succubus and a politician, the Witch grew up feared and hated by the abomination that was her birth. Such disgust was seen most strongly in the eyes of the clergymen who took great lengths to antagonize her and her family, demanding she be burned at the stake. Thus, the locals began calling her the Witch, blaming her for any misfortunes they suffered while yet she still breathed. Her curse was rumored to be the root of all hardships the town faced, including drought, illness, and even the urge to sin. Although  the last one may have had more to do with the fact that she was extremely beautiful. Nevertheless, the church-led townsfolk began to form mobs in order to chase this evil from their land. And so, her and her father were forced to flee the town in order to save their lives. Her mother, meanwhile, stayed in hopes of someday convincing the town to let her husband and daughter come back. However, the Witch has now been away twelve years and is yet to hear back from her.
