Scarlet turned to her fellow questers. She took a deep breath. "Um, okay, hi, thank you for signing up for this quest. It may be difficult and dangerous, and I can't promise we will come out alive or uninjured. If you want to back out, do it now, as this will be your last chance. We understand that we must liberate our people from this Baron whatever the risk, because that's what heroes do. My-" she faltered, and Ebony gave her a reassuring thumbs up. "-my brother was taken by the Baron's men last week, and I am sure some of you have had family members taken as well. If they are still alive, we must rescue them, and if not, we must avenge them." She bit her lip. Joe couldn't be dead. He couldn't be. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Scarlet Hart, and I am a water elementalist. This is my best friend Ebony Fairbank, a shapeshifter. Please introdce yourself and your powers so we can gauge the strength of our expedition." She gave a sigh of relief. That had been the hardest speech she'd ever done. Scarlet hated to think about what might have happened to Joe, but she had to try - for him and for everyone else in Garcine.

Tom Smith steps forward from the crowd.
"Here, Here! Well said Scarlet!" He flashes a beaming smile at Ebony. "I can't wait to head out on this brave quest! Let's finish off that horrible piece of work that is the Baron once and for all."

"Thanks, Tom." Ebony returns his smile. "I'm glad you came."

Spoiler

Name: Hypnos
Age: 15
Appearance: He has very thin arms and the rest of his body is thin, brown hair almost reaching his shoulders and green eyes occupying his eyeholes. Wears a red tunic and black-orange leggins
Personality: He's an introvert. He likes hanging out with people but not too much and likes to keep a bit of distance sometimes. Has minor trust issues due to bad memories of people teasing him. Meeting new people for him is difficult and draining. He is like a battery. After being with other people, he needs some time alone to recharge. He needs some time to get comfortable around certain people, but when he does, he can talk just fine.
Likes: magic, interesting creatures, nice people, books, combinations of black and orange, blue, red
Dislikes: toxic masculinity, people full of themselves, people showing off, any kind of physical sport, teasing, stereotypes
Powers: earth elementalist

Time to go, he decided.
He reveals his figure, waving awkwardly.
"Um, hello!"

((Yay an elementalist))
"Hello!" Scarlet smiles. " Wow, we have more people here than I expected. What's your name?"

"Hypnos," he offered her his hand to shake.

She accepts. "Nice to meet you, Hypnos."
Ebony nods to him. "Hello!"

Ok, they seem nice...
He nods back.

"Okay, is that everyone or are we good to go?" Scarlet asks.

((OK if anyone else wants to join you have two days from now. If you miss the deadline you can turn up later and we can add you in))

Spoiler

Name: Damon Brand
Age: 16
Appearance: A short guy with a head full of bright red hair. Wears a black shirt, trousers, and a red jacket. Left eye is black, and his right eye is red with black sclera.
Personality: A clumsy jokester that doesn't tend to get a lot of laughs. He's pessimistic, but will always make a joke to try and lighten the mood. Always tries to forget about the demon in his eye.
Powers: Has a cursed eye that contains a demon he knows nothing about, but it can create and manipulate its own fire. Overusing the demon's power causes him to blackout.
Likes: Hanging with friends, joking around, candy, and animals.
Dislikes: The demon in his eye, and the thought of it going out of control.

"Ah, wait!" a boy calls out from within the crowd. He trips over someone's foot, stumbling to the ground. Everyone parts way, revealing the boy on the ground as he jerks both his head and his hand up. "I'll volunteer as tribute!"

Tom scoffs. "Look at him, he's tiny. The baron will simply step on him and that'll be it over."

And then Tom spots the red eye of his fellow traveler and suddenly he is quiet. There's something powerful in there and Tom doesn't have the bravery to mess with it. A shadow crosses his face. Tom thinks dark thoughts of this short clumsy possible companion.
