MARK

Each of them grew up in Arloduri, orphaned by gun fights. They were found by the Missionaries, and they grew closer and closer, becoming very similar to one another in the process. The Missionaries started calling them “Mark”-not because Mark seemed more dominant and the leader, but because together their name spells “M.A.R.K.”. They want nothing more than to help people, typically by protecting the weak from bullies, or fighting for the right team. They want to join the University of Faldous and eventually join the Castle Guard.

Each of them has a small heash stone. Mark has a red one engraved in the end of his sword, Aiden has a blue one engraved in his crossbow, Ryan has a green one at the end of his whip, and Kayden has a tiny black stone inside of a clear stone in the middle of his shield-smaller than the emblem in his shield (covered by paint). He isn’t able to use the black heash stone yet as he is unaware it is a stone. Each of them look up to Master Earous, and immensely idealize him as a god-like figure, wanting to be just like him. Each of them are immensely into Alchemy and have used their stones to help others by creating with the stone and made into something else with minor alchemy.

Gloom
After the events of The Heashlands, MARK found himself in a strange land and also as a singular being. Somehow, he had combined into a single entity. All four parts of MARK were still there but as one. This strange phenomenon would be something he would investigate while in She'Ol. He made friends with Arthur Strathmore, during his time here and was essential and helping the party survive the dangers of She'Ol. He was the keeper of the Healing stone for most of the time as his healing capabilities were sought after by the party from facing the enormous resistance offered by She'Ol. When Lady Death offered him a path home, he took it but to his great surprise he ended up in another strange land.

Trivia
M.A.R.K. was played by Richard Winans during the Heashlands podcast.
