Background Story

3★	A military tactician for the Olderion Federation, and one of the Wardens of the Waters, who have protected the Water Shrine for generations. His dedication to his role means that he disregards his own feelings, always choosing the greatest good for the greatest number. Never one to mince words, he is often misunderstood as a cynic.
4★	A military tactician for the Olderion Federation. He is the eldest of his family, the Wardens of the Waters. Though he puts his duties as a Warden first, seemingly taking his family for granted, deep down he really cares for his brother and sister. It seems his sister Luka can see down to his true clumsy nature.
5★	A military tactician for the Olderion Federation. He was given a great many books on magic as a young child, as their were high expectations of him being of the Wardens of the Waters. Raised in isolation from other children his age, he took a deep interest instead in the people he read about in books. Among these characters, he took particular interest in a legendary female warrior from an army of darkness.

Fusion

3★	Is this the power of visions? It's quite different from what I had imagined.
4★	I must remain wise. This team seems to be lacking a pillar of sound reasoning.
5★	Visions... The power written of in books of old. When might it become reality?

Awakening

4★	I can't let such a tragedy befall Olderion once again... That's why I must...
5★	For Elle and Luka's sake as well, I must keep facing forward. That, I have sworn to.
