Year 2 - Character Re-cap

Hi everyone - TheGrompFather here.

I thought that before restarting the main storyline again, it might help if there was a little reminder about all of the many characters that feature prominently in The Children of Eris. Year 2, of course, added in the 30 Summoned Heroes and all of their mentors and the leaders of the Free People's Alliance. 

The Free People’s Alliance of the West

The Monarchs

King Alexander of Rhodes - the leader of the Kingdom of Rhodes and 1 of the 4 leaders of the Free People’s Alliance. His palace serves as the Summoned Heroes’ home and training grounds.

Princess Sakura Hiiragi - the ruler of the Yun Shogunate and wife of Lord Akechi, one of the most famed generals of the west. She is quite curt and ruthless, despite her polite tone and mannerisms.

Queen Dorothy the Fair - queen of the Elven people and a powerful magician. She is the least outspoken of the 4 as she is quite new to warfare.

Chancellor Bernaught the Boulder - the Dwarven State Chancellor and a famous craftsman, Bernaught possesses both great intellect and physical strength. He and Princess Hiiragi do not get along well.

The Summoned Heroes

Duncan’s Team

Duncan Wilson - a 19-year-old student from England who wields the sword Angurvadal. He is something of a leader to the other Summoned Heroes

Brenda Iversen - a 17-year-old girl from Denmark who wields the Sword of Surtr. She is a good rival of Duncan’s and a reliable comrade for her team.

Feng Li - a 25-year-old soldier from China who wields the great bow of Shiva. He is a fiercely loyal warrior who has sworn himself to Duncan.

Dao Chen - a 21-year-old woman from Thailand that wields the Swan Cloak. She is very abrasive and harsh when speaking to most people, but has found a companion in Talon.

Stephanie Ryan - a 18-year-old girl from the Republic of Ireland who wields the Book of Thoth. She is one of the most intelligent among the Summoned Heroes and just confessed her feelings to Duncan; they are now a couple.

Blake Armstrong - a 16-year-old girl from Scotland who wields Solomon’s Rings. She is outspoken and acts more maturely than other heroes that are older than her, much to her annoyance.

Yve’s Team

Yve Muller - a 23-year-old woman from France who wields the bow Vijaya. She is quite friendly, flirty and considers Hailey to be her best friend.

Hailey Carman - a 18-year-old woman from England who wields Excalibur and Pridwen. She was David’s childhood sweetheart before his death, something she has not fully recovered from; Yve is the only one she really speaks to comfortably.

Liam Byrne - a 20-year-old from Northern Ireland who wields the talking mace Sharur. He is a cheerful and jolly individual, though his perversions have earnt him the disdain of many among the heroes.

Gati Pramath - a 22-year-old man from India who wields the Shoes of Víðarr. He, like Liam, is considered a misfit and pervert by the others, especially Blake.

Adrien Iason - a 17-year-old who wields Nehushtan. He is a kind, gentle soul, but hangs around with Liam, Gati and Kavi, and has since been dubbed a pervert like the other 3.

Kavi Tarin - a 18-year-old from Spain who wields the Rod of Asclepius. He is a bright and kind person, but he is quick to anger when it comes to his parentage.

Hajime’s Team

Hajime Sakamoto - a 16-year-old Japanese high school student who wields Tonbokiri. He is a positive, happy individual who struggles with trying to be who he aspires to be and who he used to be; he always wanted to be Isekai-ed but hasn’t told anyone why.

Akane Nariko - a 17-year-old Japanese noblewoman who wields Ukonvasara. She is a highly intelligent woman with a keen mind for schemes, strategies and formulating plans.

Amen Hassad - a 25-year-old man from Egypt who wields Gleipnir. He is revealed to be a traitor, but he does still insist that he considers his former comrades his friends.

Sayeh Azimi - a 19-year-old girl from Persia who died in 1734 that wields Kris Mpu Gandring and Kris Taming Sari. She is very quiet and clings to Ari, proclaiming him her partner and someone she would give her life for.

Ari Teina - a 22-year-old man from Indonesia who wields The Tide Jewels. He has a gentle, brotherly vibe and struggles to say no to Sayeh, even if he doesn’t understand her motivations completely.

Zuzu Arnost - a 16-year-old girl from the Czech Republic who wields the Solar Crown. She almost plays devil’s advocate between Sayeh and anyone else among the Summoned Heroes.

Guy’s Team

Guy Simeon - a 21-year-old man from France who wields the twin swords Gan Jiang and Mo Ye. He has problems remembering things, including his previous life’s friendship with Yve, but he is a hardworking and gentle man.

Eerika Korhonen - a 17-year-old girl from Finland who wields Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar. She is somewhat shy and gets nervous speaking to others.

Talon Laurent - a 24-year-old from France who wields Carnwennan. She is very withdrawn and quick to anger, and doesn’t hold back when fighting enemies; the only person she really knows is Dao Chen.

Reis Conley - a 16-year-old from the Republic of Ireland who wields the Robe of the Fire-rat. He is a passionate young man who doesn’t do anything halfway.

Delwyn Anghard - a 19-year-old woman from Wales who wields Caduceus. She is often described by her team as a kind big sister-like individual.

Ewan Walsh - a 25-year-old from Wales who wields Gungnir. He claims to suffer from amnesia, but not all of the other heroes believe him.

Gabriel Perez - a 20-year-old man from Hungary who wields Eurytus’ bow. He is a self-proclaimed playboy who likes to flirt with beautiful women, but he has started changing slowly after an incident with Elysa.

Fala Talli - a 20-year-old woman from the USA who wields Ofas. She is fairly reserved and loves small animals, and has adopted 2 cats called Roxy and Nala.

Trevor Newlin - a 16-year-old from Wales who wields Ruyi. He is very shy and doesn’t handle pressure very well, but he is actively trying to improve his self-confidence whenever he can.

The Demon Empire of the East

The Demon Emperor’s Council

Hermes Trismegistus - the Demon Emperor’s court wizard who cares only for his research and providing the Demon Emperor with their desired results. He spends most of his time immersed in his research and intentionally keeps his interactions with the other generals to a minimum, unless he has something he wishes to test on them or to have them assist him in his work.

Xi Shi - the last of the Demon Emperor’s generals, but also the most powerful of them. Unlike her counterpart on Earth, Xi Shi has the strength and abilities of all 4 of the Great Beauties of China; she is very polite and well mannered, but she does not tolerate disrespect towards the Demon Emperor or anything he deems precious.
