Rising Stars: An Elball story of beginnings

Characters:

Elsword: 13 years old – a young prospect from Ruben who currently aspires to be the greatest Elball attacker in history… but his first goal is to become better than his elder sister Elesis, who is one of the greatest forwards in all of Velder.

Prince Seiker (Chung): 13 years old – a child prodigy from Hamel who is a master of defense on the field. Chung is a determined worker, and his father Helputt, takes advantage of that to turn him into a glorious hero for the people of Hamel.

Lowe: 17 years old – An aspiring Elball player who is going straight into the draft soon as a highly-valued pick. He isn't too fond of Elsword's uprising however.

Helputt Seiker: 41 years old – Once a famous Elball player known as the Hamel Guardians' White Colossus, but is now the team's head coach. Helputt however still thinks he plays the game and takes it hard on his players, and even more so on his son.

Altocross: (OC… sort of. Canon, but not by name. Mentioned in Elsword's background) 45 years old – A Velder Kingdom royal who mentored Elsword in the art of Elball alongside Elesis until her departure for Velder. He was previously a legendary player for the Ruben Scouts until his performance decreased significantly with age. He settled down in a town nearby Ruben to coach the Ruben Red Knights.

Anne: 21 years old – Owner of a local sporting goods shop in Ruben, she is particularly obsessed with Elball and her favorite player is secretly Banthus, who plays for the Rubens Scouts' number 1 rival team, the Elder Mercenaries.

Priscilla Seiker: (OC) 35 years old – Chung's mother and the obvious contrast to Helputt. She's regarded as one of Fluone's most inspirational women. Her beauty, knowledge, and will are almost unparalleled.

Horatio: 67 years old – The Hamel Lakers head coach, who is close friends with Helputt and previously played for and coached the Guardians until he came to the realization that he must teach the newer generation of Elballers.

Steel: 13 years old – The daughter of Iron Anvil Sdeing, an Elball blacksmith that plays for the Lanox Steelers. She is the opposite of Chung in many ways.

Aisha: (Mentioned) 15 years old – The successor to a powerful mage. She was initially supposed be the genius to take the WEL by storm, but lost her powers. Over the course of 2 years she finally had the capacity to compete at a high level, remarkable for her age. Although arrogant, she can at least back it up.

Rena: (Mentioned) Age Unknown – An elf that knows more than she presents. Her intentions in the world of Elball have far more priority over fame and fortune. She is a stark competitor and will not stop at nothing to achieve success, despite her pleasant aura.

Elesis: (Mentioned) 16 years old – The youngest player in history to be drafted into professional Elball at the age of 13. With seemingly no weaknesses, it's expected of Elsword to show the same traits.

Add: (Mentioned) 16 years old – A mysterious Elball genius from the future.

Leo: (OC, Mentioned) 17 years old – The Hamel Lakers only strictly offensive player in their starting lineup. He generally doesn't have to do much work to score as the Lakers defense and support are top notch.

Lowe's friends (OC's, Mentioned): Various Ages – Kids who also play Elball with Lowe and Elsword. Among them are Gunnar and Maverick.
