The strongest member of Terra Oculum, Alise is the wielder of the divine blade, Ciemnanoc, that is able to cut through demons without a stain. Her demeanor is stoic and quiet. She doesn't restrain herself when she is dissatisfied with something and often is blunt in saying what she wants. She is the de facto trainer of Talia.
I never knew my parents, but every so often...I can feel...someone...watching me. Whether that's a good or bad thing, I'm not too sure yet.
I'm not one to underestimate my opponents, regardless of strength. That is why I never show mercy on the battlefield. One foul step, and it's over.

A steadfast bowman that almost always hits his mark, Mavris wields the holy bow, Stailccroi, to smite his foes from a long distance. Mavris dislikes getting his hands messy, but if the situation is unavoidable, he will make sure the enemy suffers greatly. Easygoing and generally lax when not in battle, Mavris is on friendly terms with Alise and was recruited into Terra Oculum at the same time she was. Over the years, the two developed an interesting dynamic both on an off the battlefield.
Interesting thing about archers, when they sling an arrow and become accustomed to it, the arm that they use most become more muscularly developed, and ever so slightly, the shoulders become uneven. I get around this by switching arms every now and then.
Everyone thinks that Alise and I...are...a thing, you know? Frankly, I'm getting quite tired of hearing it.

A demon that was once in Lord Jodd's ranks, Vorsog is able to tune his energies in order to reflect that of his surroundings, that is, the more open space he's in, the more deadlier his attacks, usually. Vorsog was found in the prisons underneath Xohu's fortress, guarded by the fallen warrior Orville in order to atone for his crimes against Jodd in stopping his conquest of the mortal world.
To allow someone as terrible as Jodd to continue his violent acts against the world is unacceptable. I've asked myself this question every day: do I regret what I've done? And the answer is absolutely not. No foul deed should go unpunished.
Do not confuse me with a mere dark mage. I am a demon, and an able one at that. Slight me, and you'll reap a reward most unforgiving.

The newest recruit in Terra Oculum, Talia is able to use a unique type of magic called "Polarity" in order to strength herself and her allies. Usually soft spoken and unwilling to have the spotlight on her, she is also deft with her war axe, just in case. Looks up to Alise as her mentor, and regards Terra Oculum to a high standard.
I can use an ability called "polarity" to strengthen myself and my team, but...I don't exactly know how I came to possess such power as this...
Fighting isn't really my cup of tea...I'd rather prefer Alise and the rest of them to handle it, but since Terra Oculum is a team, I have to pull my weight too, but only if I must...

A dangerous and sly mage able to use the power of polarity to manipulate the elements, among other things. Generally dismissive and quick witted, Verne used to be an mercenary for hire, but only cared about the pay, so he left one day to wander the world and find out more about himself in the process. He met Alise and the team while in the middle of battle, and was enamored towards Alise's ability to wield her blade, which is the only reason why he sticks around.
What? Do you actually think I dyed my hair? No, no. This is its natural color. I'm serious. Genetics are...wait...so you're saying that green hair isn't natural? Blame the artist, then.
The one thing that really vexes me about all is that why can't we go and ask Octavio to make a rift towards Jodd? Or maybe Octavio and Jodd are the same person? No, no...that's too cliche...but it's a non-zero... so I guess we'll never know.

Cold and heartless towards the other members of Terra Oculum, Augustine feels a deep remorse after a terrible accident involving one of their own, Julius, a great fighter with enough capability to take on fifty demons at a time. After the incident, Augustine's demeanor changed drastically from amicable to dreary. He feels no joy in battle as he used to, and distances himself whenever possible.
In my honest opinion, I don't care about anyone here. Once you've escaped the very jaws of death, you realize that many more are facing their own struggles, and most can't be helped. Why bother then? Don't look at me like that. You can't change my mind.
It was only a simple mistake on my end! I don't see how everyone could blame me for this! Julius is out there somewhere...and...I...just hope he's alive so that I don't feel guilty anymore...

The youngest member of Terra Oculum, Merill is an axe-wielder with a wide variety of off-beat talents, however, those abilties are never shown since she doesn't have a chance on going to the battlefield. She is often seen consoling Augustine whenever she can, however, she can be unnervingly positive, which slightly puts Mavris on edge.
While everyone goes out for battle, I'm stuck behind! It's like I'm invisible, or maybe I help too much? That shouldn't be a problem, right?
I try to help out whenever I can, but Alise keeps on getting in the way! I don't hate her or anything, but she needs to lighten up for a change!

Unbeknownst to Augustine, Julius was still alive, but had to fight his way towards the mortal realm while fending off a relentless pack of demons set on his destruction. The wary fighter proved victorious in the end, as he escaped with his life. To everyone's shock, Julius rejoined the team, but made a pact to never tell Augustine his true nature.
I've been with Octavio for years as his prime protector and most faithful warrior! If anyone wishes the great sage harm, then they will be crushed under my fist!
I once took on a legion of demons, and I could've taken on dozens more...if I hadn't thrown my back out in the process...I may be strong, but age takes its toll on everyone, unless you're immortal.

Lux has been regarded as an ancient one from ages long past. Finding himself in the wrong place in the right time, he joins Terra Oculum to find out more about his mysterious past.
I only remember two things. My name and just how horrible I stick out in this place...I just know that I had to go somewhere...but...the more deeper I search, the more further from the truth I get.
I do remember another thing, however. This device attached to my chest is called the LEWIS apparatus, that is, the Lightweight Electronic Weapon Intelligence System, and no. I can't take it off even if I tried, so don't bother asking.

Dark Lord Joddeus, or Jodd for short, is the main antagonist of "The Remnant". He is the king of demons who has sworn his body and soul to the Grand Elder Force, Sigdros, the deity of chaos, and as his disciple, carries out orders for the god without question. Dark Lord Jodd has displayed mastery of any weapon type in combat, and is a force to be reckoned with when engaged. His calm demeanor and fierceful stance of universal dominance strikes fear in his opponents, or those unlucky to be in his wake.
"I am a tortured soul dwelling within a cursed body, bound by the chains of immortality...but the dark forces dwelling within me are...you don't need to know...it is something dangerous that you don't want to witness..."
(initally calm then louder) "My hunger for dominion over this planet grows stronger each minute I'm bound by its gravity...soon, you will feel the unbridled chaos that surges through my domain, and even you too will bear witness to the new world!"
[Anything you think this character would say.]
An ancient formless entity, even before Lux's time, Sigdros is the lord of death and chaos and is the true mastermind behind Jodd's plan for universal domination. Sigdros gets his power from his servants chosen to lead his dark dominion. Long ago, Sigdros used to be a paladin for the gods but fell from grace and turned towards evil in order to seek revenge for the gods casting him out.
(If you could put one of those creepy voice effects that make this character sound like an ancient eldritch entity, that would be appreciated.)
They...will pay for their negligance to stop me. The parameters are already in place for my return. The only thing I need is another...willing soul. May you provide assistance?
There are others more stronger than I, up there...in the realm of gods, but in due time, even they will fall...

Looking for a DIGITAL artist in order to draw some still scenes and profiles of characters. Any style is fine, as long as the artwork isn't lazily made. (I'd do it myself, but then I remember I can't draw with my tablet...)

Dark Emperor Xeltrius was regarded as "the unholy force" that led his armies long ago in the ancient times in order to conquer the world and expand his empire. With a natural tendency for the dark arts, he caused the lush forests and blue waters to rot and dry. For ten years straight, he ordered his subjects to build a massive fortress that eventually reached a mile high, but before he knew it, he was destroyed by eight youths with their own unique abilities. Before he took his final breath, he prophesized that he will one day return and destroy all life on the planet.
Dark Empress Xeltria was regarded as "the blood queen" which accurately describes how frequently she slaughtered and destroyed during the ancient times. Her main goal was to eventually conquer the world and expand her empire. With a natural tendency for the dark arts, she caused the lush forests and blue waters to rot and dry. For ten years straight, she ordered her subjects to build a massive fortress that eventually reached a mile high, but before she knew it, she was destroyed by eight youths with their own unique abilities. Before she took her final breath, she cursed the lands and prophesized that she will one day return in a new body and destroy all life on the planet.
This world is quite different from what I remember, but one thing always remains constant; the evil in the hearts of men./This world is quite different from what I remember, but there is always one thing that remains constant; heroes may have their victory, but evil never dies...
It will take quite some time for this new body to regain its strength. You best would run when the hour approaches./It will take quite some time for my new form to regain its strength, and when it does, nobody will be spared from my wrath! Not even...you...
