Epic Knights

## Background

**Arsis**

> It’s a dwarf race, and I have a strong desire to engage in hunting or pursue it as much as I please
>
> Tsundere girl

Arsis is growing increasingly frustrated with his Uncle Solum. Solum constantly tells odd, outdated jokes and insists that dwarves must practice throwing axes every day. Arsis finds hunting animals in the elven forest to be much more enjoyable than this strange training, and he wonders why he is being forced to do such boring things.

Solum had promised to make an axe for Arsis, but there is no word from him since he went into the Red Flame Mountains. It feels like it has been a month already, and Arsis can't take it anymore - he decides to go and find his uncle instead of waiting blindly.

Arsis, a pilgrim of the world, sets off on a small journey to locate his lost uncle Solum, but unfortunately gets lost at the entrance to the Red Flame Mountains before he can embark on his full-scale adventure.

**Bjorn**

>
> Savage Breakwater

Bjorn is known as the last rational member of the militant Frostclaw tribe. He serves as Bernhard's loyal right-hand man and acts as the tribe's strategist. Despite not joining Bernhard from the beginning, Bjorn challenged him to a duel in their youth to determine the strongest warrior and lost. Realizing the vast skill difference, Bjorn accepted the role of assistant to Bernhard.

Although Bjorn has a job as a book buyer, he doesn't actually devise strategies. His main responsibilities include managing the tribe's affairs, preventing conflicts among the tribesmen, calming down Bernhard, and rectifying any wrongdoings. Unlike the fierce members of Frostclaw, Bjorn maintains a calm and rational demeanor, but when angered, even Bernhard can be intimidated. As a result, rumors have spread that Bjorn is the powerhouse of the Frostclaw tribe.

For Roca, who was born in the vast wilderness, robbery and fighting may have been essential. Without knowing who his parents were friends in similar situations just to survive and engaged in thievery. In the midst of this, he caught the eye of Desperado, the boss of the wilderness organization, and joined the organization to make money.

Thanks to Roca's character, which doesn't hesitate to use any means necessary for money, he was able to adapt well to the organization. The moment Roca becomes your target, he will find his way to you and say, while swinging an axe down on the table, "Hey, we have some calculations to settle, don't we?"

**Ryo**

> Justice? Does that make money?
>
> Bounty Hunter

Ryo, a mercenary in the desolate wilderness, is driven by greed and will do anything for the right price. He has no qualms about the lives that vanish silently at his hand. However, the weight of guilt becomes unbearable, making it impossible for him to carry on with his work.

**Trinich**

> Anywhere other than the lab is fine
>
> Unfortunate Graduate Student

Trinich, a graduate student from the academy, can be depicted as having dark circles that extend all the way down to his chin, slumping shoulders, and a pale face concealed under a turtleneck. Although he pursued a degree in archaeology due to his passion for history, his actual experience mostly entails being confined to a laboratory and buried in paperwork. The decision Trinich regrets the most is accepting his professor's offer to attend graduate school in haste.

He resorted to joining the Order of the Unknown Knight solely to avoid returning to the lab. Trinich aspired to become a hero who would save the world as opposed to grappling with her thesis. What she fears the most is not the Lord of the Abyss, but rather his professor, who he anticipates will catch up to him unexpectedly.
