Cedric Blythe (From: Mortiferum Aqua)

Cedric works with his partner, Andy Elliott, and their specialty is demolition. They were hired by a mining company to start a new mine for sapphires in Madagascar. In the partnership, he is the outspoken one and he pushed Andy into many situations. Where Andy is determined and pragmatic, Cedric is more carefree and flighty.
They met while growing up in an orphanage and have stuck together ever since. Because of Cedric’s past, he doesn’t like to care for anything deeply, since everything he has known has always been taken. However, he is very protective of Andy and always fought off the bullies that attacked Andy. Growing up, he was stronger and bolder than Andy and he always feels the need to watch over Andy.
Cedric is as tall as Andy (about 6’2’’) and just as muscular. He is always clean-shaven and his dark brown hair is cropped short. His smile is very playful and it reveals his dimples. He has clear blue eyes. Women find him very handsome and flock to him. He is somewhat of a playboy and can get any girl he wants.

Strengths: Spontaneous, Protective, Bold, Confident, Fighter
Weaknesses: Not trusting, Bitter, Arrogant, Rebellious, Craves Attention

Andy Elliot (From: Mortiferum Aqua)

Andy works with his partner, Cedric Blythe, and their specialty is demolition. They were hired by a mining company to start a new mine for sapphires in Madagascar. He is fluent in French, which he learned before going to Madagascar, so he could communicate with some of the locals.
Orphaned as a child, Andy grew up in a poor orphanage. He met Cedric there and they weathered the storms brought on by the bullies in school and living in a run-down orphanage. Because of his poverty growing up, he is driven to succeed, so he would never experience such hardship again.
Andy has broad shoulders and is very muscular from labor-intensive jobs. He is tall (about 6’2’’). His chiseled jaw is always covered in a shadow of a beard and his dirty blonde hair seems to always look disheveled. He has striking green eyes that darken when he is angry.

Weaknesses: Not trusting, Pride, Bad Temper, Stubborn

Gwen Clayton (From: Mortiferum Aqua)

Gwen has an uncontrollable curiosity that has gotten her in trouble many times. She is an archeologist that is widely criticized for her past failures and bad luck. No one will work with her and to recover her career, she finds herself in Madagascar, searching for anything that would give her acclaim in the archeological circles.
Her father was a great archeologist that Gwen looked up to. He took her on many of his trips and she learned everything from him. When she was nineteen and away at college, her father died from a cave collapse and she lost the only parent she had ever known. Her mother left when she was young, but she barely remembered her.
She has an athletic build and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. Her strawberry blonde hair is always tied back in a ponytail, but wisps constantly fall into her face and frustrate her. She has green eyes with brown hints and full lips.

Strengths: Curious, Risk Taker, Determined, Intelligent, Perceptive
Weaknesses: Bitter, Insecure, Impulsive

Adalia Zephan (from: No Way Out)


Adalia Zephan is the daughter of a wealthy Irish businessman. She has lived her whole life showered in everything she wants. Nothing has been impossible for her. She has some shallow moments, but she has a good heart. Her father instilled a set of high morals in her and she hates to see cruelty.
She is involved in a charity to help girls who have been forced into the sex trafficking business and she empathizes with people easily. She studied psychology in college and now tries to help the girls that were rescued from the imprisonment.
She is a risk-taker because she hasn’t really ever gotten into a situation that her father’s money couldn’t buy her out of. But she gets in over her head when she helped ruin the success of a few pimps and they want revenge.
Adalia has thick light blonde hair and green eyes. She has an easy smile and dimples on each cheek. Her skin is flawless and it’s a beautiful shade of ivory. Her nails are always perfectly manicured (one of the many perks to her father’s riches) and she loves to have them polished in any shade of pink (her favorite color). She is 5’8’’ and shaped more like a stick than an hour-glass, but she is very beautiful nonetheless.
She always wears a braided bracelet of yellow, blue, and green embroidery floss that her mother helped her make when she was a child. It is the only thing she has left of her mother, aside from the very few memories she has before her mother died. The bracelet is the most inexpensive thing Adalia owns, but it is her most prized possession.
When Adalia is feeling sad (even if it is feeling sorry for others), she fidgets with the fringe at the tied-off end of her bracelet.

Strengths: Empathetic, Confident, Kind, Trusting, Courageous
Weaknesses: Naïve, Impulsive, Spoiled
