Vital Statistics

Name: Takashi Tenkaze Race: Au Ra, Raen Ethnicity: Doma, The Ruby Sea Gender: Male Age: Early thirties (32 Summers Old)

Brief Description Large and imposing, the Raen Warrior stands taller than most of his kith and kin, be they his Xaela brothers on the Steppes; or his acquaintances of Eorzea. Vibrant jade colored eyes are seen inspecting many that he comes across, holding a faint glow or brightness to them due to his limbal rings.

Ogre or Oni is a word commonly associated with Takashi, tying more to his brutish fighting style and body. With broad shoulders trailing down into thickly muscled arms, his entire frame is burly and more resembling someone barrel chested. Much as a Warrior does, he is marked by the scars of battle and war, choosing to wear them with pride rather than shame.

Vital Statistics Name: Khadan Arulaq Race: Au Ra, Xaela Ethnicity: Othardian Gender: Male Age: 29

Brief Description Khadan is average height for a Xaela of the Steppes; perhaps even a little shorter. His dusky skin tone and dark blue hair might be somewhat normal on the Steppes but anywhere else it tends to stand out. Often wearing simple but serviceable clothing when not on duty he maintains a reputation as a hunter of sorts, enjoying the act of living off the land and providing for himself and family as an outdoorsman. Despite that, his reptuation as a fierce warrior is well known.

Despite his long history of participating in warfare and battle, he strives for inner peace and to balance the negativity of his chosen profession with positive pursuits, as well. On top of that he is a stickler for manners and will not suffer prolonged rudeness to himself or those he cares about for long. Preferring a katana or uchigatana as his preferred weapon Khadan strives for excellence in his craft. Though not wanting to be too reliant his martial prowess extends to unarmed martial arts, spears, and even a large axe at times though his preference for the Eastern sword is clear.

Vital Statistics Name: Arnora Runesinger Race: Hyur; Highlander Ethnicity: Ala Mhigan Gender: Female Age: Early to mid 30s

Roughly 32 years old, she was the youngest daughter of Thora Thundersoul and Thrandr Wolfkin, Ala Mhigan Hyur most notably renowned for their tracking and hunting prowess, and former members of the resistance following the Garlean invasion, until causalities were so severe they were forced to flee, thus starting her path to becoming a wanderer.

Through her travels she has maintained a curious disposition, despite the weary, wanderer’s life, and has watched the rise and fall of many great men and women. It was the disappearance of friend and employer, Einar Brightroar, that had her setting off again and lead to her encounter with an organization known as the Crimson Lanners. A spontaneous trip to an organized gambling event, held at the Lanner’s Casino, lead to her winning 10,000 gil. It was this interaction which would act as catalyst to her later joining the Lanners. Now, after many trials and tribulations, descent both from within and from without, she stands firm in her conviction to continue aiding Lady Shiroko and the remnants of the Crimson Lanners, under a new helm and with a new purpose, as one of three Iron Hands.

Trained as a tracker, like her father, from childhood Arnora’s proficiency with a bow and arrow, medicinal herbs, as well as her ability to read the signs of the wilds, something she outpaced even her father on, earned her the last name Runesinger, seeing and seeking the signs that no one else could follow. Armed with a sense of humor, an unarming smile, keen eye, and an old leather hat full of feathers once belonging to her father, she has an overall easy-going persona. While sometimes coming across as easily amused, flirty, and sometimes easily distractible, these are a mask for her underlying keen observation and hawk-like observance.

Physical Description: Known as Nora to friends, she stands at roughly 6’1, on the upper end of average Highlander height and has a curvy, yet firm build, showing both genetics as well as a rough physical upbringing. Her hair is a mixture of black and various shades of purple, the natural of which seeming to be the color of ash. Her most notable features are her pale skin, vibrant green eyes, and ample bosom.

Vital Statistics Name: Hiro Akamatsu Race: Au Ra; Xaela Ethnicity: Doman Gender: Male Age: 26

Brief Description Hiro was born to a Xeala mother and a Raen father. Being a half-breed his mother feared for his life and hers, so she snuck into a traveling caravan to flee the Steppe. Traveling across Doma and the ruby sea she and her son Hiro ended up in Kugane where she left him hoping someone would find him to take as their own child. Watching from a distance, she waited to see if someone would pick up her child. A samurai happened to pass by where Hiro's mom had left him and he looked around and saw no one in the alley coming to claim the abandoned child. The samurai picked up the basket that held Hiro and give him a smile, tickling his scaled chin, and off he went with his soon to be adopted son. A few years later Hiro was blessed with a little sister by the name of Ruby a fiesty, over-protective sibling.

Hiro's father was a freelance assassin and he was damn good at his job, but after having kids he retired his blade. He put a sword in Hiro's hand the moment he could walk and trained him daily in the ways of the blade. Hiro learned how to use all different types of weapons, but the sword, like his father, was his weapon of choice. Now twenty six, he works as a freelance assassin as well as infiltrator and information gatherer. He learned from the best and is now using his skills to be one of the IRON WOLVES!

Personality:Sarcasm is basically his first language. He loves cracking jokes,is very flirtatious, can be serious when he has to be.. if not then he's probably causing some sort of trouble with his brother at arms Sol'tyrr. Dispite his sarcastic and joking nature , he actually cares a lot for anyone he calls friend or family and underneath all of it he has a pretty big heart for people in need which lands him in some sticky situations.

At 26 years of age, she is the youngest of her family to take a seat within the Crimson Syndicate of which the Crimson Lanners, her family, reside. Many within the Syndicate have shown their distaste for Kidaka's rise to family head and have made it known through assassination attempts. Now, with the aid of her new family, the Iron Wolves, instead of helping lead the Crimson Syndicate, she inteds to watch it burn.

Trained as a kunoichi, like her mother, from a young age, Kidaka is highly proficient in the art of the blade and ninjutsu (though she rarely uses the latter). Her preferred method of combat is that of an up-close-and-personal sort where she analyzes weaknesses and acts on them to quickly dispatch opponents.Simply put, she is calculating, calm, and efficient.

Physical Description: Kida, as she is known to those close to her, stands at 5'4" and has a build of one who trains on a regular basis. Not quite athletic, but still fit. Her hair is that of a reddish copper color and if you look close enough, you can see brighter highlights streaked throughout. Her eyes are red, as were her mothers, and they stand out against the contrast of her lightly tanned skin. As a Raen, her scales are pale and her horns are larger than many females of her kind.

Vital Statistics Name: Khosen Ishii Race: Hyur, Midlander Ethnicity: Doman Gender: Male Age: 40

Brief Description Khosen often stands with his hands clasped behind his back, perhaps betraying the discipline he obtained during his years of military conscription.

For nearly twenty-years after the subjugation of Doma, Khosen had been forced into the role of field quartermaster for a Garlean Empire battallion. During this time, he learned a great deal about the design and maintenance of magitek-based technologies; knowlegde he has been putting to better use since his liberation by an Arulaq tribe Steppes warrior known as Khadan and a Shinobi by the name of Yubi Ishii, who it turned out was his own cousin.

For reasons kept largely to himself, he strives to avoid open conflict and often pursues diplomatic solutions with his expertly practiced silver tongue. When genuinely threatened, or if having to act in the defense of another, Khosen remains a competent soldier. His weapons of choice are unconventional, preferring to use thrown weapons such as flechettes, bombs, and darts constructed to have various effects.

Above all other worldly things, Khosen holds his family and bloodline in the highest esteem.
