Ronin by Somerset Geere

// RONIN'S STORY

AGE: 19 YEARS OLD
GENDER: FEMALE
RACE: ONI (HALF DEVIL/HALF HUMAN)

The devil murdered Ronin's family and razed her home to cinders. She was able to defeat the attacker by releasing her inner devil with the help of her father’s sword - a strange broken two-handed katana that can empower the devil’s blood within Ronin to take on the form of a devil.

Razer the Wolf Knight by Matteo Cancellara

No one really knows for sure where Razer came from, but rumour has it that he’s a fallen angel that sought refuge with Elves deep in a forest, justifying his fondness of Mithril armour and the Stag-like horns on his helmet.

Due to this theory, humans wonder if his on-man crusade against the forces of hell are an atonement for what he may have done in the Heavens and that one day, he may be welcomed back.

When asked about his origins, he’ll often answer by saying “I am but a humble traveller, you need not be concerned with me human”.

Depths Of Hell by Vicki Hesse

In reality she is the unfortunate result of an incident where her cargo ship sunk causing a toxic metal spill from the supplies she was transporting.

Despite her abilities she struggles to recall what happened the day of the incident and barely remembers ever being human. However her dreams often feature aspects of something she can’t quite place.

This fuels her curiosity with mankind and drive to help and protect them.

She is quiet, inquisitive and resourceful, making her supplies out of objects she finds along her travels.

My Friend Death by Laura Pilkington

His job is to collect the souls of the dead so they don’t end up hanging around and moping endlessly about their problems.

No, Death doesn’t kill anyone - that’s like blaming the school janitor for the sick that he’s having to clean, even though you very clearly saw some bratty little reception kid cough it up.
