Eternia, world created by the god Seyfert, for those who believe. Everything in Eternia is made of craymels. The wind, the ocean, the light, the land, everything. For that reason, Craymelogists and Craymel Mages, those who study and interact with the craymels, are very common. Wars between different peoples haven't been seen since a long, long time ago. But that is only because all humans are fighting together a single threat, known as the Io. Nobody knows what they are, when or where they came from, for all register of their existence has been erased from history books. All that's known is that they are the enemy, and a strong one.
A group of young men and women see a chance of finally erasing those who have been threatening mankind for so long, and following that lead, they'll end up involved in something even bigger than they imagined.
(Oooooooh, dramatics!)
Craymels--------------------------------------------
Craymelogists are the people who dedicate themselves to the study of craymels. Craymel Mages, on the other hand, are those who aren't satisfied with simply studying. Those who want to try, to feel, to use the power of the craymels. Craymel Mages interact with craymels by making contracts with them. The contract bonds the mage and the craymel, and can't be violated until it expires or is nulled or broken by the mage. The mage who makes a contract with a craymel is called it's Contractor, and both have to follow the pact.
The Greater Craymels, the strongest craymels of each element and the ones who control all of their own craymels, also occasionally make contracts with human mages. They contracts are said to last as long as the Contractor lives, and not a single person ever managed to make contracts with more than one Greater Craymel at once, although it's supposedly possible. Making a contract with a Greater Craymel is the dream of any Craymel Mage, but according to all books written on that subject, they will only show themselves to the people they consider worthy, and even those shall be submitted to a rough trial. Yet, the power of the Greater Craymels is described as the strength to literally control a part of the world. Simply reading such things is what encourages many young people to become Craymel Mages, although a considerable amount of those won't ever make a contract.

After the destruction of his village by the Io, he left with his best friend Ein to search for a new place to live. He's a typical village boy, and is rather clueless about the outside world, as he had never went more than a few miles away from his homeland. He's a great fighter, but prefers to avoid unnecessary fighting for pure laziness. Lance hardly takes interest in anything that doesn't have to do with his job, but is a very fast learner when he wants to be. He is simple-minded and seriously lack in social skills, having a lot of trouble dealing with important people due to his custom of treating everyone equally and hard time in trying to speak respectfully.

Long light pink hair, skyblue eyes, slightly tall for a woman her age, rather muscular for a woman, but not enough to be visible without paying attention.
About:
A female swordsman, something rare in her region. She was trained by her father since an early age to replace her deceased older brother in his guard duties, as the town of Triant, where she was born, has had security issues since long before she was born due to the increasing amount of people, specially young men, leaving the town in search of adventures or riches. Due to the lack of trained guards, Triant was recently massively damaged by the Io, although not completely destroyed. During the attack, Rina managed to steal a map from one of the Io captains containing the location of their main base. After that, she decides to form a group strong and courageous enough to strike the base with her, and so, leaves the town in search those people.

About:
Lance's childhood friend, Ein left Losh with him to search for a new home. Although much younger, he is usually the one to blow some wisdom and logic into Lance's thoughts, and always considered himself to be nothing but a dead weight to his village due to his lack of physical strength and fighting skills. His body has always been weak, and he is constantly attacked by all sorts of diseases, although he seems to recover as fast as he falls ill. For recognizing his weakness, he left his home village for a while when he was younger to study craymelogy. Despite his young age and the short lenght of his study period, he's considered by his teachers one of the best craymel mages to ever set foot in the New University of Mintche, although he still lacks experience.
After meeting Rina and accepting to join her and Lance in their journey, he's the one who suggests traveling to Mintche to meet his old schoolmates as a way of gathering the offensive power they need.
Elisiel Iria
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Weapon: Twin Tessen (war fans)
Important Physical Characteristics:
Mid-length orange hair, light green eyes, slightly short for her age. Sometimes complains about the small size of her breasts, but usually likes it for not having problems with them getting in the way. Her movements are very gracious and fast, despite her tendency to wear long and big shirts, but her physical strength is almost as low as Ein's.
About:
Elisiel met Ein during his times in the University. She moved to Mintche with her parents at a very early age, and started getting interested in craymels after visiting the University for the first time to deliver the products ordered from her family's store when she was 9. Three years ago she decided to join the University, and managed to get accepted right away due to the knowledge she had gained from reading books and studying on her own before choosing to attend school. Although she knows a lot about craymels in general, she studies Wind Cramelogy at the University, and is one of the most talented students in her main subject. She's the only student of her department to actually use craymel arts for anything other than research, and has her craymel cage tied to her belt all the time. She loves children and used to take care of the children in an orphanage near her parents' store. Now she is as good dealing with children as she is dealing with craymels.
She joins the main group to help Ein, but also for her interest in learning more through real experiences.
Leeron Frith
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Weapon: SpellBooks
Important Physical Characteristics:
Mid-length dark brown hair, very dark brown eyes (almost black), he has a very skinny appearance, but is actually much stronger than Ein and Elisiel.
About:
Old classmate of Elisiel and Ein, he still talks often with Elisiel in the cafeteria, although they no longer study together. He met Elisiel long before they joined the University, and ended up befriending Ein after the girl insisted they talked to the boy as he seemed so young and lost there. He studies Water Craymelogy, and is a very smart and talented researcher, but has no practical experience whatsoever. Due to his lack of experience in making contracts with craymels, he takes his enchant books with him when he leaves with the group, since he haven't memorized most of the spells he judge he'll need, and, as he had never fought before, he ends up using his books as a weapon as they are the only thing he's carrying that would fit that hole, and also the only "weapon" he could possibly handle without hurting himself more than his enemies.
Although he does symphatizes with their purposes, Leeron's main reason for joining Rina's party is his hope that the journey would actually allow him to meet the Greater Water Craymel, who he worships, despite knowing nothing about it other than it's name.
Rem

Age: -
Weapon: Light Craymel Arts
Important Physical Characteristics:
Short red hair, light green eyes, slightly pointed ears, overall human appearance, three pairs of small golden wings.
About:
The Greater Light Craymel, one of the two Governing Craymels. Quiet and reserved, she avoids talking more than the necessary. Considers humans to be "selfish" and "dangerous", but affirms to not completely dislike mankind, as it also has it's good things. She admits to have given up trying to understand humans a long time ago, as they are one of the few things she still miserably fails to understand.
Rem acts as a guide to the group on the last parts of their journey, for reasons she refuses to explain to them, as she claims that if they can't see them by themselves is because they aren't meant to know at all, and, in that case, she will have failed her own mission.
Other Characters (more to be added)-------------------
Lummy
Gender: -
Age: -
About:
Ein's "secret pet", actually just a considerably big and strong light craymel. Ein treats it somewhat like a fish, and likes to watch it wandering around in his craymel cage once in a while, despite the fact that it looks like nothing more than a tiny ball with a faint glow. The boy uses it to cast craymel arts, as a light source and as an excuse to himself to express his thoughts aloud without feeling like he's talking to himself. Only Lance knows about it, merely because he once caught Ein talking to his craymel cage, forcing the boy to explain who he was talking to. However, Ein considers it to be a complete secret, as Lance has no clue what a craymel is.
