Shinryuu

From DALpedia

Name: The Shinryuu Elite Force
Members: 4
Race: All humans
Gender: All male
Alliance: The Crimson Empire

Description

Each member wears the same style of pitch black armor, similar to Draven's, with large plates at the shoulders and waist, and additional ornamental spikes. The only difference is the trimming on the armor, which is a different color for each member. They do not wear capes.

Bio

The Shinryuu have all been artificially infused with magic of a particular element, increasing their magical capacity beyond belief. The side effect of this experimental procedure is estimated to be a significant shortening of the life span, and possible insanity... For this reason, albeit unknown to them, they are rarely given military command, but rather are given independent missions in which incredible destructive power is required. They are Draven's personal bodyguard and answer only to him.

Each character in depth

Name: Julian
Age: 31

Julian is the leader of the force and the most competent. He is of average build and his specialty is the shadow element. His armor is solid black (black trim on black obviously doesn't show.)

Name: Hans
Age: 29

Hans specializes in air elemental spells, particularly of the lightning variety. He is the tall and skinny member, the most moody, and often jumps the gun. His black armor is trimmed with a bright yellow.

Name: Rufus
Age: 29

A huge burly man with gigantic arms, but not the brightest of the bunch. His specialty is the earth element, and also uses the element to increase his already high physical strength and especially defense. The trim on his armor is green.

Name: James
Age: 34

A short man, and not particularly impressive physically. The calm and rational member, he is the only member that fully understands the possible implications of the experimental procedure the elites have gone through, and looks for ways to combat them in his free time, although keeping it a secret from his fellow elites. He does not regret his volunteering for the procedure, as he had virtually no magical power (or status in society) before it. He commands the water element, and his armor displays blue trim.

Status

All of the Shinryuu were presumed deceased after Chapter 9. When the Crimson Capital, Draven, and the three remaining elites (Hans seemingly fell beforehand) got sucked into hell, Draven was the only one to return.

However, in Chapter 17, hints of their mysterious return began to surface...
