You step into an old style inn and see a shadowy figure at a table, his arms folded across his chest, a mug of some drink in front of him. His face is obscured, except for the glow from his eyes. He has an ominous air about him, but he seems to keep to himself. The black leather outfit suggests the figure is an assassin or ninja.

This goes back before the first time Mario or Luigi ever ended up in the Mushroom Kingdom. The Koopa forces pushed the Toad defenses back relentlessly until they eventually breached Peach's Castle. The Princess put up the fiercest of resistance the Koopas had seen yet, but ultimately she and her royal guards were overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Her final act of bravery was to surrender herself to save the remaining people of the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser, King of the Koopas took delight in this Princess's mettle and instead of executing her publicly, he locked her away in his dungeons until she would become Queen of the Koopas. Peach used this to buy even more time for her subjects.

Ex-SOLDIER and a Zack wannabe, Cloud came into his own after following his role model; another member of SOLDIER (Elite fighters) named Zack (and consequentially having one hell of an adventure where he saves the planet.)

Her name is Ariah (Ah - rye - uh) she's lived her 21 years of life as a street urchin, stealing from those of material means to support herself and an aging man named Eli, who was a simple cobbler and occasionally helped her in her worst times. She calls herself "The Raven" in order to seek out a man of a similar name who she felt betrayed her 2 years ago. There are rumors she's got a huge debt to the underworld syndicates too, and the most dangerous group wants to sell her off as she is potentially part demon which is unheard of in the Human community.

You live on a tiny farm. Just off the road is a tree that always spooked you when you were younger. Now that you are older, stronger and more brave, you approach. You were certain a tree spirit lived inside this tree. Today, you see a short woman wearing a blue and cream top, an old time possibly noble clothing. She has slightly messy brown hair, the deepest blue eyes, blue like the oceans, and she is reading an old, worn book. You seem to recall having dreams in the past of someone that looks like her perhaps an angel or protective spirit since you lost your parents at the age of 13 and have been alone since. It appears your approach was not expected.* "So, the little farm boy has grown brave. I hope I am not imposing by being here. After all, I am rather fond of this tree." To which you reply, "Are...are you the tree spirit?" the young looking woman smiles, it is a smile that holds some deep and hidden memory.

Now, reincarnated thousands of years later, she's little more than an herb and potion specialist living in a secluded forest. Ironically, she's neighbors with this era's Banemage. However, neither Mika's powers or her memories of when she was the Void Witch are accessible as both are sealed by goddess tier magic.

He would much prefer to spend his time with his horse Marius, and the crops he grows outside his secluded cabin. He is an excellent cook and he is also familiar with herbs. While his magic power is low, his true strength lies in his grit and the ancient Banes he wields.
