Silvyre, a high elf monk, is the second son and final child of the Matriarch of the High Elf Kingdom. Second sons are solemnly seen worthwhile in Solaris due to the diplomatic structure of Matriarchs. Discarded for most of his life, Silvyre secretly turned to the fighting ways of the monk to distract himself from his home life. He found solace in his monk teacher, Ethrond, who showed Silvyre compassion and patience. He treated Silvyre as if he were his own son. One day, Silvyre was practicing his monk fighting style under the trees in the courtyard when a courier notified him of Ethrond’s sudden death. Tired of his insignificant life and angered over the loss of his mentor, Silvyre snuck away from his kingdom in search for an independent life far from the controlling ways of his birthright.

Arkien, a rarer race of Arakocran, grew up in a village in the Civil Tabaxi Kingdom composed of his people. Known for mainly keeping to themselves, Ark grew up with very little diversity from his own culture. He made many Arakocran friends and enjoyed playful sparring with his fellow adolescents. He was known around the village as quite the little helper, giving a hand to any who needed it. When he came of age he decided he wanted to know more than just his people. He wanted to help the world. Taking up the ways of the Paladin he set out to better Solaris, with the help of his God Aries. Sworn to good faith he scoured the world for a soul in need of his guidance. Eventually he stumbled upon a human male, Malcolm. He could sense the deep sadness within the human. He vowed his sword to aid this human in all future endeavors. 

Malcolm, a human experienced in the ways of fighting, has had quite the unusual life. Having been raised the eldest of four brothers he was quite experienced in dueling from the start. On his fifth birthday he and his brothers set off to a nearby village that was set upon a gathering of cliffs. During their sparring Malcolm bested his brothers, as usual, and had basked in his well earned glory. Frustrated with his loss, Malcolm’s younger brother Frances shoved Malcolm, unaware of how close they were to the edge of the cliffs. Malcolm was sent sprawling over the edge and tumbled face down into the rocks below. Assumed dead, his brothers left him and returned home to bear the news to their father. Though broken and beaten, Malcolm was miraculously still breathing. He was stumbled upon by a magical elf, who took him under her wing. She healed and nurtured Malcolm for what seemed like a few days. However when he was healed and attempted to return home, Malcolm realized his brothers were far older than he was. In healing him, the elf had combined her blood with his, altering his aging process. He was but a child as he watched his family all grow old and die. After two hundred years he finally reached human maturity. Malcolm reached out to the elf that healed him, begging her to return him to his completely human self. When he found her though she too was on her death bed. Unable to retract her gift to him she bid him farewell. Since then Malcolm has spent his days wandering Solaris looking for any quest to complete, trying to make the most out of his extended time amongst the living.

She spent her spare time in her prisoner cell honing her senses with the shadows. Eventually, after years of mastery, she was able to escape the Tiefling’s hold.

In his isolation Zed spent his time learning to play instruments, reading various books, and revering his solemn interaction with the house maidens. One day, out of curiosity, Zed snuck into the family library to research the identity of his father, finally learning of his demonic paternity. Wielding his latent magical abilities, Zed became determined to summon an Incubus in hopes of reaching his father. Zed succeeded in summoning a demon, however it was not his father. The two began to bond, the demon giving Zed the name Vanity. However, as demon visits are bound to, the visit grew dark as the Incubus began to force himself upon Zed. The next morning one of Zed’s chamber maids stumbled upon his summoning ritual and began to raise alarm to the situation before her. In quick reaction, Zed pushed the maiden out of his open bedroom window accidentally killing her as she splattered on the cobblestone below. Learning of this, Lady Caroline summoned Zed to the nearby barracks in an attempt to scare him into behavioral submission. In fear for his life, Zed charmed his mother into climbing upon a catapult and released her into the distance. Currently, Zed spends his days wandering the continents trying to outrun his past.
