<br/><strong>Name:</strong>Sam<br/><strong>Age:</strong>21<br/><br/><strong>Class:</strong>Archer<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sam and Luke's</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Sam and Luke had lost their parents to a passing raiding party that had hit their village when they were11 and 9 respectively. They had been taken in by a family friend, an older grandfatherly type. It turned out he was a retired Sage and he began to tutor Luke in his arts after the boy had stumbled across a tome and started trying to make out the strange words. The result could have been much worse than the singed head of hair, Sam’s, and ‘blackened goose’ for dinner. Rather than scold the boy the old man had seen a huge potential and actually had laughed. Sam had not found the event, nor her brother’s periodic retelling of it too humorous though.<br/>   <br/>Sam herself had developed a great talent with the bow and arrow, having taken it up to help support and feed her new ‘family’ after her parent’s death. She had even helped more than once repel other attacks against their village. Her bow and arrows grew to be as much a part of her as the breath in her lungs, A true extension of her own body. So a word of advice, don’t piss her off. <br/><br/>Tragedy struck again for them when the old man caught ill and passed away in the night. They had no legal claim to the house in the village; it went to one of his cousins living there. What the old Sage had left them was a cabin they had built together deep on the woods as a place to let both the siblings train and hone their skills. From their they had a decent living and even began to hire out as protection to nearby villages when word of savages or raiding parties came.<br/><br/> Then had come the invasion that ransacked all the surrounding villages and burned the fields to the ground. These had been professional and far too many in numbers for Sam and Luke to do anything  but hole up in their hidden home and let the storm run its course.<br/><br/>In the aftermath with all that they had known of the world dead and smoldering they knew it time to move one, they would search for anyone raising a force to take down the treacherous  kings army. While they journeyed they  had stopped at a battlefield to care for the bodies of their countrymen and to scavenge from the bodies of the fallen  then leave those to the crows. It was while searching one dark robed corpse that Luke found an old worn Tome, it held the secrets of Shadow. Despite his sisters objection he began to train himself their use. Unlike many shadow mages who became consumed by the darkness of its power, Luke had already faced and conquered his share of darkness in his life and this become just another  that was simply understood and turned from a source of fear or lurking evil to simply another source to draw on for power. Though his Shadow skills are impressive he is careful about where and when he uses them, as he knows all might not be as understanding as his sister.<br/><br/>Along their travels they soon met up with a pair of brothers also on the look for a Lord to offer their services too. The two groups of siblings got along well and soon decided to continue  together in their Journey. It made sense both for strategy and simple morale to be with friends. After all who knew what trials awaited them as they sought to reach their goals. </div></div><br/><strong>Birth Country:</strong>Macedon<br/><br/><strong>Weapon Name:</strong>Athena’s Wrath<br/><br/><strong>Description: </strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sam Ready For War</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/38/Sam_in_Gear.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sam</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5f/Sam_out_of_armor.jpg)</div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Name: </strong>Luke<br/><strong>Age:</strong>19<br/><strong>Class:</strong>Mage/Dark Mage<br/><strong>History:</strong>(See Sam)<br/><br/><strong>Birth Country:</strong>Macedon<br/><strong>Weapon Name:</strong>Zeus and Hades(his Tomes)<br/><strong>Description:</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Luke</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/17/Luke-Mage.jpg)</div></div>
