Romance options



The Commander - William “Will” Strang 

The poster boy for the Soulforge Order. He is what every Soulforge soldier wants to be and what every civilian believes a hero is. His charisma and confidence makes him the perfect leader. He is almost too perfect; what lurks behind his cheerful persona? 

Appearance: He has golden brown skin and black wavy hair that is half tied back and half left free, resting just above his shoulders. His almond shaped eyes are dark brown and he has a chiseled jaw. His muscular frame is imposing with broad shoulders and lines of muscle clear through his clothes but it is offset by his cheerful grin. 


The Second - Wilhelmina “Mina” Rothman 

No one dares to speak against Drill Sergeant Rothman. Mina takes her job of training freshly recruited Soulforge soldiers very seriously. She has vowed that no soldier will die under her watch and she intends to keep that promise. Her closest and only friend is Will. She fights to keep people from growing too close. What is she afraid of? 

Appearance: Mina has strawberry blonde hair that is styled into a fishtail braid and extends midway down her back. Her fair, light brown freckled skin is often sunburnt. Her nose bridge, a little crooked, has smatterings of brown freckles that lighten as they move down her cheeks and towards her ears. 

It highlights her diamond shaped face. Her shoulders are almost always tinged red and dark brown freckles are scattered across her shoulders and neck. Mina has an athletic build with defined muscles seen in her legs and arms. Her sea green eyes hold a stern look as she purses her pink lips. 


The Rival - Chih-Cheng “Nico” Wu 

Nico is determined to be the best. He demands perfection not only from himself but everyone around him. To him, failure is not an option and it will never be. He is either the perfect soldier or he is nothing. 

Appearance: Nico is lean and tone in build. His skin is a warm beige in colour and his hair, side parted with one half slicked back, is dark brown. He keeps his hair neat and his fringe curls lightly over his forehead. He has calculating, monolid eyes and a small nose that wrinkles whenever his lip curls up in disdain. He dislikes how pretty he is. 


The Observer - Mei-Ling “Astrid” Wu 

Astrid is the twin sister of Nico and can often be found writing in the journal she keeps available at all times. While more hospitable than her brother, people still find it difficult to connect with Astrid. Her blank expression and stilted manner of speaking seems to make people wary. 

 Appearance: Astrid has warm beige skin and dark brown hair that is pulled back into an elegant bun. Her fluffy bangs frame her face. She has a lean figure and her darting, monolid eyes are always evaluating people. Astrid and Nico share the same soft, delicate features. When they were younger they were often mistaken for each other. 


The Outlander - Theo Gumede 

At first glance, Theo comes across as a very intimidating man because of his size. However, he is one of the kindest and most gentle-natured men to be found. His baritone voice can often be heard murmuring to the plants he cares for and he is always quick to offer a helping hand. 

Appearance: Theo is a brawny man. He has wide muscular shoulders, a barrel chest and long, strong arms and legs. His skin is a sepia colour, a deep reddish brown like that of mahogany. His black, thick hair is styled into short twists that are swept to the left and sides that taper into a fade. The fade goes into his well maintained and trimmed beard. Two deep dimples appear in his cheeks whenever Theo laughs or smiles. 


The Heart - Arabella “Ara” Hendricks 

Arabella is seen as the backbone of the Soulforge Order. She is always working hard to make sure that the day-to-day activities for Fort Balria are handled and that no one is of need of anything. She is quick to offer a warm smile and a kind word. However, you can’t help but wonder why she hates going on missions… 

Appearance: Ara is short and toned. Her skin is a warm tawny colour and her eyes a stunning hazel. Ara’s light brown copper, curly hair is barely able to be pulled back into a neat ponytail. Stray curls escape to frame her heart-shaped face and flutter passed the rounded frames of her glasses. She has a small beauty mark just below her left eye.
