PROFILE​

Name: Kaira Zalketh
Alias/es: The White Inferno
Age: 31
Gender: Female
Race: Human

Department: Administration - Guildmaster

Height: 5'10" ft / 178 cm


Kaira Zalketh is the current Guildmaster of the Kriegslöwe Tylsen branch, and by extension, the numerous minor branches under its charge. Known for her brash and impulsive behavior, Kaira's reputation varies from one individual to the other - some consider her readiness for action inspiring, some think that her uneagerness towards desk work and politics makes her no different than the barbaric tribes that scorn the uninhabited lands of Raeligard.

Regardless, her current position and the long list of her hard-earned achievements before being appointed as a Guildmaster warrant the level of respect that people bestow upon her.

PROFILE​

Name: Vivienne Yvarra
Alias/es: The Quad-Winged Pegasus
Age: 41
Gender: female
Race: beastfolk (centaur)

Rank: A

Height: 7'11" / 241cm


Despite her imposing stature and powerful presence, Viv is one of the most welcoming Kriegslowen. As a Tylsen resident, she is frequently seen around town. Unerringly humble, impeccably polite, and always gently smiling, even amidst the perils of battle, she has the calming presence of someone accustomed to making others feel at ease.

It comes as no surprise that escort and defense missions are her specialty. This silver-haired centaur has mentored, supervised, or rescued countless adventurers, in a career spanning over two decades, and is well-known for her legendary feats of strength and endurance, as well as her unique magic, which allows her to dual --or even quad-wield-- weapons which others would struggle to lift.

EXTRA LORE 1​

Viv exhibits a mixture of bovine (ram's horns and a dense, muscular build) and reindeer (thick silvery-gray pelt and sharp hooves) features, which makes her beast lineage difficult to specify. Meanwhile, her human half is often obscured by an overabundance of layered clothing, such as cloaks, shawls, or heavy winter coats, making her exact body type hard to identify.

Rumors say she does this to hide her battle scars. Also, despite her excellent manners and etiquette, she is frequently adorned in tribal motifs, such as beads, feathers, small totems, or warpaint, which suggests she wasn't always as civilized as she is now. She often changes the subject when asked about her family or her pre-Kriegslowen past.

PROFILE​

Name: Cephilia Valdergeuse
Alias(es): The Clockwork Witch
Age: 29
Gender: female
Race: Cascarieth

Rank: S

Height: 5'8" / 173cm


A noblewoman and semi-retired Kriegslowen, Cephilia comes from a very wealthy industrialist family, of Valgemian ancestry. Their fortunes were built on watchmaking and gemcutting, prior to emigrating to Raeligard over a century ago. These days, they are leaders in the manufacture of zauberites and arcanizers, and own a handful of veracite mining operations across the country. Despite still holding an ‘S’ rank, Cephilia primarily acts as the Tylsen branch’s broker, maintaining good relations with the local leaders, negotiating the best deals on weapons and gear, and ocasionally modifying or unlocking arcanizers for those she deems worthy of her expertise. She also curates the guild's library and record archives.

EXTRA LORE 1​

Cephilia often wears the Valdergeuse family colors of blue and white/silver, but during her time as an adventurer she sported a red and gold color scheme, as an act of rebellion. Her relationship with her family has improved since laying down arms, but it is no secret that she initially joined Kriegslowe to upset her father and prove anyone --even a pampered rich girl-- can be an adventurer if they set their mind to it... and use mountains of cash, engineering know-how, and trade secrets to compensate for her lack of fighting prowess.

By the time she reached S Rank, Cephilia was equipped with a small fortune in bespoke gear, which has not been seen since her final battle: the slaying of a dragon. Even today, she wears a headpiece made of its broken horns, as a trophy. Many rumors exist about what became of The Clockwork Witch's legendary battledress and weapons, with most believing it was either destroyed to appease her father and protect family secrets, or resides in the Valdergeuse vault at their estate in Achelreide.

PROFILE​

Name: Arien Bermille
Alias/es: ----
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Rank: B

Height: 6'1" ft / 186 cm


Arien is one of the faces in the Kriegslöwe Tylsen branch that many can easily recognize, due to his frequent appearance at the branch's guildhall. While generally considered to be not necessarily outstanding, he has demonstrated a consistent performance and would always provide results, regardless of the degree of success.

Additionally, he works part-time in the Tylen branch's logistics department as a receptionist. Of course, should he not be found working behind the desk, he is out in the field dealing with a job he has taken or one that has been rightfully assigned to him.

EXTRA 1​

Arien keeps with him a small, blue bird named Zest. Though young, the avian has shown many capabilities - delivering messages, scouting areas from a distance, and many more tasks. It is known by many to have the ability to utilize magic, which it often demonstrates by phasing through solid surfaces.

There is an ongoing theory that the bird is no mere local beast that the Kriegslöwe has tamed, but rather a nature spirit he has contracted to be his familiar. Arien has said nothing on this matter that could prove or deny such a theory, unfortunately.

PROFILE​

Name: Vandred Nosthrum
Alias/es: The Earth-breaker
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Human, Half-Caskarieth

Rank: A

Height: 6'3" ft / 193 cm


Vandred, or Van as his closer affiliates would call him, is one of the more notable members of the Kreigslöwe's Tylsen branch - although infamous would be more applicable due to his rather "unrefined" mannerisms. He is a man, nay, a warrior who takes pride in his skills, his rank, and his feats - oftentimes, a bit too much, and would be the cause of a scuffle among his fellow guild members.

Though born and raised in Raeligard, the ideals that he lives by are more fit to the Valgemian standard, wherein he sees the measure of a man through action and not mere words alone. He proudly wears markings on his body, which have been frequently attributed to pagan beliefs, and as such, his relations with The Aurelian Church's faithful are quite shaky, if not outright bad.

PROFILE​

Name: Integra Masri
Alias/es: Maze
Age: 24
Gender: female
Race: beastfolk (equine)

Rank: B

Height: 5'2" / 157cm


While most people join an adventurer's guild seeking excitement and danger, Maze simply likes solving puzzles, uncovering conspiracies, and matching wits with criminal masterminds. As a former private investigator, turned Kriegslowen, she is a quiet, methodical woman, renowned for her perceptiveness, professionalism, and attention to detail, and is one of the guild's --and perhaps Raeligard's-- best detectives. She is often called upon to investigate internal matters or strange happenings, and has a reputation for not quitting until all is revealed.

EXTRA LORE 1​

Maze is said to have exceptional eyesight and photographic memory, which she uses to make highly detailed sketches of crime scenes, evidence, or wanted suspects. In her down time, she often people-watches and draws what she sees or catalogues seemingly random, trivial details, which may prove useful later.

EXTRA LORE 2

Due to operating in urban environments, Maze is highly skilled in close quarters combat and utilizes concealable or collapsible armaments. Her weapon of choice is a trio of metal batons, which can be combined into a 4' or 6' staff, or wielded individually. She also carries a takedown bow and assortment of tranq arrows, for ranged encounters.

PROFILE​

Name: Seifer
Alias/es: ----
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Profession: Manatech-nician
Affiliation: The Vogt Institute for Advanced Learning (VIAL)

Height: 5'6" ft / 168 cm


A young man that has embarked on an "educational odyssey", despite being enrolled in a year-round schooling course at The Vogt Institute for Advanced Learning. He seems to have a rather strong grasp on both the theoretical concepts and practical aspects of Manatech.

PROFILE​

Name: Xchenzaerys
Alias/es: Sen, the Swordbreaker
Age: 22
Gender: female
Race: Syrieth

Rank: C

Height: 6'1" / 186cm


Rumored to have been raised by wolves, bears, coyotes, or something, Sen is a creature of savage instinct, who feels 'civilized' behavior is massively overrated. In truth, she is a former child bandit who was left adrift when her criminal 'family' swung from the gallows, and later turned to Kriegslowe after serving her time.

Despite her past, --or, perhaps, because of it-- she rarely accepts jobs pertaining to human threats. Sen fancies herself as a monster hunter, rather than a manhunter. This preference for slaying large beasts and abominations carries her to distant corners of the world, where her unscrupulous behavior can't get her into too much trouble.

EXTRA LORE 1​

Unlike most Kriegslowen, Sen is very nomadic and doesn't call any particular guild branch 'home,' yet remains a chaotically social creature. Many people know of her, but few can say where she is, where she's from, or what she's up to at any particular moment. She drifts from town to town looking for work, finds what beasts need slaying, and deals directly with the locals. She's also barely literate, so written reports are rarely submitted and virtually indecipherable when they are. She would likely be ranked higher if the guild had a clear record of her adventures.

EXTRA LORE 2

Due to her tendency to loot, craft, or 'borrow' anything she needs, Sen has no definitive fighting style. The only constant is her preference for aggressive offense. The rare moments she finds a shield or decent armor, it merely becomes a means to press the attack harder. She is equally comfortable in a suit of plate or a loincloth, a greatsword or a hatchet.

Her disregard for aesthetics, or even basic maintenance and hygiene, means she doesn't have a defining look or style either --unless you consider "dissheveled murder hobo" a look-- and will use a weapon until it breaks, or armor until it is damaged beyond repair. She did not gain the title, "Swordbreaker," by breaking other people's swords.

PROFILE​

Name: Rhoschanna De Luna
Alias/es: The Lunar Enchantress
Age: 33
Gender: female
Race: beastfolk (feline)

Profession: Socialite, Healer, Freelance Mage

Height: 5'10" / 178cm


A mysterious and hedonistic woman, whose charisma and beauty has allowed her to blow through the noble houses like a midsummer breeze, despite being of uncertain origins. Some regard her as a grifter, a low-born interloper preying on the wealth and power of others, but most see her as a welcome bit of spontaneity in the sometimes droll lives of the elites. She is relatively harmless, but oft seen as an omen of impending mischief.

It is hard to say what Rho does, exactly. She is a skilled water mage and healer, and has a great deal of experience crafting snake oil salves and tonics. But most would say she merely uses these talents to cozy up to withering old money. Her tendency to orbit Raeligardin aristocracy makes her a steady source of juicy rumors and high class intel, which she occasionally places at Kriegslowe's feet... for a price.

EXTRA LORE 1

Rho is a social chameleon, to whom appearances mean everything. She has two pairs of ears, a somewhat rare trait amongst beastfolk. She often keeps her 'cat ears' hidden under elaborate hats, bonnets, and ornaments, or styles her hair to mask them. In more traditional settings, Rho hides her beastfolk traits to appear more human, but will prominently display her ears and tail when she feels a more exotic aesthetic will give her an edge.
