Valean Saviours’ Brigade

The **Valean Saviours’ Brigade** was a group active during the Second Great War. They are primarily notable for their actions in protecting the citizens of Vale, as well as the fact that all of their members were underage.

### Purpose

Protecting the people of Vale

Though records of the group’s activity are few in number, many apocryphal tales of their deeds exist among the people of Vale. It is commonly held that they were instrumental in the defence of the city, and that the loss of life due to their efforts in protecting the civilian population—and thus allowing the Huntsmen to focus on the most dangerous threats—was nearly halved.

## Members

Save for the founder, all of the Brigade’s members were children for the duration of the war. Though they worked with a number of Huntsmen and other warriors throughout their lifespan, the group is considered to only have 11 primary members, consisting of the following:

* Astra Aalima: Deceased. The group’s founder and de facto leader, roughly 16-19 years old during the war. She died in the Battle of the Highlands, the final battle of the war. Though the group suffered from internal conflict on occasion, Astra was universally respected among their members. She has posthumously received a number of awards at Councilman Gris’ insistence.
* Carmine Nikos-Rose: 12-15. Alive. during the war. The group’s voice of hope for the first part of the war, a position that manifested in her Semblance, which encouraged her allies to keep fighting by comforting them. Over the course of the war, this changed, and by its end, Carmine was an angry and troubled teen with a penchant for suicidal rampages. Went on to attend Beacon, though dropped out in her fourth year after an injury from a Beringel left her with a physical disability. Now works as a search and rescue ranger for the Valean Wilderness Service.
* Carnelian Laserran: 11-14. Alive. Hotheaded and short-tempered, Carnelian was considered to be the group’s loose cannon for a while, though in the latter parts of the war following Slate’s death, her place was taken by Carmine. Has since become a Huntress, and exclusively takes non-human contracts.
* Chardonnay Liakos-Rhiel: 11-14. Alive. The group’s “medic”, though much of her job at the time amounted to little more than carrying wounded members back from battle or occasionally bandaging their wounds. The death of her younger sister Malbec near the start of the war led to significant distress on Chardonnay’s part, and for a period of six months, she did not fight at all. Briefly attended Beacon after the war, but dropped out after complications arose from a conflict with another student. Has since become a physician with multiple doctorates and a leading place in the field of medical research.
* Kresla Amarosi: 10-13. Alive. One of the younger members of the group, tasked mostly with defending population centres and protecting logistical supply lines at the time. Has gone on to become a part of the Mistralian Bureau of Defence.
* Lark Zirconi: 15-18. Unknown. A fierce young man known for devising the plan to use the former Sanus Railways line to create a supply line to Meridian. Worked separate from the group for at least one year because of it, though is still a notable part of their membership in the later parts of the war. His whereabouts any more than two years after the war are unknown.
* Onyx Bright: 12-15. Deceased. A young woman, originally from Argus, who lost her family when the war began. Survived the Second Great War and went on to attend Haven Academy, though tragically took her own life in her third year.
* Roseo Torchwick: 9-12. Alive. The youngest member of the group, tasked only with protecting the back lines. After the war, she became an internationally-recognised ballet dancer.
* Slate Dark: 15-16. Deceased. Relatively little is known about Slate, other than his being beloved by much of the group. As the first member of the group to die, his passing had a significant negative impact on the other members. He seems to have been an orphan even prior to the war’s start.
* Syrah Gris: 14-17. Alive. Astra’s “second-in-command”, and a childhood friend. Known for being more hotheaded than she was, he has since carried that passion into politics, and is considered to be the most “left-leaning” member of the Valean Council.
* Violet Rowena: 16-17. Deceased. Very little is known about Violet, other than her having a moderately close relationship with Roseo.
