The Rainbow Raiders

The Rainbow Raiders are a colorful group of heroes combating the spreading plague known as Imperium Fungus, the group is also known for making Taernsby a safe haven in these troubling times. The group consists of eight members: Layton Ash, Coal, Azir Azure, B1U3, Viola Fairfield, Magenta, Mahogany Sainte, and Juniper Vel.

Layton Ash
974 AG -

A Human Wizard and Paladin from the secretive organization called The Iron Legion, Ash was sent by this group on a mission that even he knew little about. All he knew was that this group was prophesized by Factitious (the god of The Iron Legion) to be the ones to prevent a coming apocalypse of unknown origin. His goal would be to guide the group on their prophesized journey while also keeping an eye out for signs of the coming apocalypse, such as the supposed Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

He aimed to get into the party's good graces and, hopefully, never need to reveal his secret. But unfortunately, the party grew more suspicious of his overly non-offensive attitude and his secretive behavior. As such, he had to disclose his background in order to prevent losing their trust.



Coal
980 AG -

An Orc Cleric worshipping Erebos, the God of the Dead. During the party's bouts in the arena of Twilight, Coal was bitten by a disgraced Daybreak officer in his werewolf form. This cursed Coal with Lycanthropy, which he has done well to keeps under wraps.



Azir Azul Azure
? AG -

Another party member that seems to have a secret being kept from the party, this mysterious character covers all of their skin at all times, and will feign confusion when asked about his background. Though strangely enough, his confusion may not even be an act.



B1U3
? AG -

A Warforged Barbarian who remembers little of his past except falling from the sky before being repaired by a gnome. The gnome seems to have also slightly modified B1U3, as he has a large switch on the back of his next that determines whether he is a passive, gentle giant, or a hulking beast of metal, destroying anything within his warhammer's reach.

The group's travels eventually brought them to Eden, the City in the Sky, it was here that B1U3 discovered other Warforged crafted very similarly to himself. Searching through the city, he found a secret chamber containing nine elite units that would have been used to drop to Orbis below, wrecking havoc on any enemy unfortunate enough to have been nearby. The first three units were missing, as such, B1U3 also discovered what his name truly stood for: Battalion 1 Unit 3. Soon after this discovery, the chaotic-in-nature Gurac (ex-member of the famed Johnny and the Jets who lead them to the floating city) revealed that it was he who repaired B1U3 when he fell from the sky, further informing him that he violently attacked anything that came near him when Gurac found him. So Gurac subdued him, then repaired him, granting B1U3 access to his passivity mode that he was previously cut off from. After speaking with Gurac, B1U3 discovered that by placing the switch between the two modes, he could swap between them at will. And after some thought, B1U3 decided to embrace his violent side, as the best way he could protect his allies from harm would be by eliminating the source of the harm.



Viola Fairfield
979 AG -

A Changeling Synther who artificially spellweaves using the drug known as Apotheosis.

When she and her party journeyed to The Sunken City in search of a cure to the spreading plague, she encountered her parents, who had hid from civilization because they were discriminated against in most cities due to being changelings. Her mother was also a synther some time ago, but had succumbed and became an apotheosis mutant. This was quite the wake up call for Viola, who knew that the mutants existed, but had never seen one up close like this, especially not one linked so closely to her. Viola made efforts to stop her use of Apotheosis after discovering this, but was soon harassed by the gang that she buys the drug from, to ensure that she continues to be a valued customer.



Magenta
978 AG -

A Tiefling Rogue hailing from the library of Bibliotheca. Magenta spent most of her life reading before joining the Raiders, and has several of her favorite stories memorized and ready to recite.

When venturing into The Sunken City, the tiefling found herself attempting to discern the use of some old world tech before it blew up in her face... quite literally. She ended up being extremely close to an explosion that caused an incredible ringing in her ears, but as the ringing disappeared, so did her hearing. Luckily she knew Non the Handspeaker and Nokkrato the Unhearing, two Residents of New Taernsby that know a language spoken using hand signs to communicate. Learning from each of them, Magenta gained the ability to speak in hands.



Mahogany Sainte
974 AG -

A Lava Genasi Druid who worked as a guard in Daybreak's army. Mahogany worked hard to maintain her cover as a human, but when her actual race was found out, she was thrown in Twilight's arena.



Juniper Vel
76 AG -

A Type 3 Yuan-Ti Malison Fighter who suddenly appeared in Spiritus' wizard tower as the party was climbing it. Initial hostilities were calmed by Ash, who recalled a strange portion of the prophecy that detailed a snake that would join them in their travels. Juniper joined the group believing that it would be an interesting change of pace, and was quickly proven right.
