User:Venger/The Six Weapons of Power

Presto (Magician)

Weapon : Magicians Hat, that doesn't seem to work correctly, but is probably one of the most powerful weapons in the whole realm of Dungeons and Dragons.

Presto has the most appropriate name with his alias ('Hey Presto' is what magician used to say). He is 14 years old and his real name is 'Albert'. Before he entered the realm, he was a keen magician and used to drive his friends round the bend with 'Pick a Card', but he wasn't very good at it. One thing he does lack is self belief, and he needs to be more confident.

Once in the realm, he was granted the real powers of a wizard, but when he casts a spell it seems to go wrong nearly every time. This can have its advantages because what he conjures up seem to accidentally helps.

Once in a blue moon his magic works perfectly, but this normally happens when the group are really in trouble. The strange thing is that the group keep asking him to try his magic to help them (I thought they would have given up by now - too dangerous).

Diana (Acrobat)

Weapon : Magic Javelin. Extends from nothing to about the height of Diana. She can use it as a weapon, by throwing it, and it should always return to her, like a boomerang.

In the real world Diana is an athlete. She has been a Gold Medallist in the state gymnastic finals for the last 2 years in a row. So she was a natural choice to be chosen by Dungeon Master to be the Acrobat.

She is 14 years old and acts like the mother figure of the group and seems to be on par with Hank as the most sensible. If Hank is injured or separated from the group, then (initially) Diana becomes second in command.

She is always looking for the 'good points' in a bad situation and uses her agility and fighting skills to protect the group.

Out of the whole group, she is the one that is less tolerant with Eric's behaviour. She's always telling him to shut up, or threatening to hit him (I even feel sorry for Eric!). But she does fear that one day she will get too old to fend for herself.

Eric (Cavalier)

Weapon : Magic Shield, deflects most magical blasts.

Eric is the spoilt brat of the group and is the most funniest. In the real world, everything was done for him, because his family could buy the best. Now that he's in the Realm, nothing is done for him, which is why he's always in a mood and constantly moans about everything. Most of the others treat him as a joke. He also has a tendency to be a bit of a coward, but when the group of them are really in danger, he seems to accidentally show some bravery, which surprises the others and Eric.

He is jealous that Hank is the leader of the group. He is on the receiving side of sarcastic comments from the others when he decides to dig his heels in and do either nothing or the opposite of everyone else. Also he seems to have a dislike of children, which is evident when he speaks to or about Bobby (I think Bobby feels the same about Eric).

He certainly feels that he is victimised by the others and constantly comments (in a sarcastic tone), that he was out voted again. This mostly happens when he wants to go in the opposite direction to danger and the others want to head towards it.

He hates the riddles from Dungeon Master and the appearing/disappearing at the wrong moment. He complained about this and even said that he could do better if he had Dungeon Masters power. So Dungeon Master gave him his power (for a short period) for a rest. But he wasn't given a user manual and he didn't know how to use his powers, which really depressed Eric (especially when he's trying to help the group). Venger knows this too and tries to take advantage, but eventually Eric succeeds and learns that he would lay down his life for his friends.

Once, Eric turned into a Bog Beast after smelling a flower. The group then found a village full of Bog Beasts, who thought Eric was their god. Eric tried to lead them on a mission to stop an evil monster from diverting the flow of the river away from the Bog Beast Village. But true to form, he finds out they are just as cowardly as Eric, which seems to upset Eric (I don't know why, I thought he'd be proud of them!).

As their quest goes on, so Eric's confidence grows and his natural leadership skills come through. When Hank disappears, Eric steps in to lead the group. In the past this would be unheard of, but the group as a whole are starting to respect the new forward thinking Eric.

Sheila (Thief)

Weapon : Magic Cloak, makes the wearer invisible when they put the hood over their head. This is especially useful for sneaking past people and creating diversions.

Sheila is the older sister of Bobby. She is always looking out for him and mothers him a bit (to Bobby's annoyance). Not only that, but she has a fear of being alone.

She likes to give most people the benefit of the doubt and wants to stop the group going into battles needlessly. Her closest friend of the group (apart from her brother) seems to be Diana, who she confides in.

She seems to like Hank a lot, but even the very short dress and kinky thigh length boots she wears, he doesn't seem to notice her (or does he?).

The name 'Thief' doesn't really reflect what she does, and really refers to the stealth tactics she uses to help the group out against Venger and his henchmen. This is achieved by using her weapon, as detailed below (its not really a weapon, but we'll let that slip).

She also seems to have the talent for translating the language of fairies.

Bobby (Barbarian)

Weapon : Magic Club, has great power when it hits the floor or anything else.

Bobby is the youngest of the group (8 years old) and is the little brother of Sheila. He is like the little kid in the playground that will take on anybody, maybe it's because he's a bit small for his age, and he has a chip on his shoulder. One thing he doesn't like, is being treated as a young kid and he prefers to hang around with the older kids. The trouble is, this used to annoy the group before they entered the realm of Dungeons and Dragons, and they wished he would play with children of his own age.

It's quite funny that such a small person was chosen to have such a powerful weapon in the realm. Because of this, enemy's are lulled into a false sense of security and laugh at him, thinking that he's weak. Once he's smashed them with his club, they aren't laughing anymore.

Not surprisingly he doesn't like taking orders from anyone. Because of this he is very head strong and doesn't think about the consequences of his actions. He mostly runs into battle with his club and mostly one of the others in the group try to restrain him or get him out of the situation. The only person that seems to bring Bobby into line is Hank, as he respects him, like the older brother that he didn't have. His best friend/pet is Uni.

Uni

Weapon : Horn on top of head, which can also power teleportation.

Uni is a talking Unicorn, but it can be tricky to work out what she's saying. After the gang rescued him from the Dragon called Tiamat, she has stayed with them. She has built up a bond of friendship with Bobby. They have had the opportunity to go back home, but Bobby wouldn't leave without Uni.

Most unicorns have the power of teleportation and Uni has this power. But an evil wizard called Kelek removed Uni's power and horn from her and other unicorns to gain the power of teleportation and take on the might of Venger. Poor Uni was a shell of herself and the energy was draining away from her. Luckily the others helped free her and the other unicorns from this wizards power (with a little help from Venger!) and the horns were returned to their owners.
