Inner City Guards
1. Harold "Hardhead" Bramble
Age: 65
Description: Harold is a veteran guard who’s seen far too many battles and has taken more than his fair share of blows to the head. Now, he spends most of his shifts sitting on a stool near the gate, keeping an eye on things from his post. Despite his age and injuries, Harold has a sharp eye for trouble and a wealth of experience. He’s gruff and no-nonsense, with a deep, gravelly voice, but the younger guards respect him for his wisdom and his stories from the old days.
2. Elias "Reformed" Tanner
Age: 50
Description: Elias was once a notorious thief, but after being caught, he was given a choice: the dungeon or reform. He chose reform, and after years of hard work, he’s now a guard. Elias has a calm demeanor and is known for his fair treatment of others, though he’s got a few tricks up his sleeve from his old life. His overbearing wife keeps him in line at home, but he’s a doting grandfather who adores his grandchildren. He’s often found with a smile, especially when talking about them.
3. Matilda "The Queen" Ironhide
Age: 45
Description: Matilda, known as "The Queen," is the undisputed boss of the city guards. Thick and strong, with a commanding presence and a no-nonsense attitude, Matilda is both feared and respected by her subordinates. She’s never wrong—or at least, she’ll never admit to being wrong—and her word is law among the guards. Despite her tough exterior, she cares deeply for the city and her guards, but she expects nothing less than absolute loyalty and obedience.
4. Lydia "Shaky" Rivers
Age: 32
Description: Lydia is a thin, nervous woman who is easily scared, but she’s determined to do her job well. She’s the kind of person who jumps at shadows and second-guesses herself constantly, but she’s also incredibly diligent and detail-oriented. Lydia is often paired with more confident guards to help balance out her nerves, and she’s surprisingly good at spotting things others might miss. Despite her fears, she’s brave in her own way, facing her anxieties head-on every day.
5. Percival "Percy" Brightflame
Age: 22
Description: Percy is the youngest guard in the unit, and it shows. He’s full of energy, with a classic case of ADHD, constantly fidgeting and finding it hard to sit still. As the youngest child in a large family, he’s been spoiled his whole life, and it’s made him a bit reckless and impulsive. Despite this, Percy has a good heart and genuinely wants to prove himself. He’s quick to volunteer for tasks and loves the excitement of the job, though he often bites off more than he can chew. The older guards try to keep him in line, but his youthful enthusiasm is hard to contain.
