Chapter 5.5: Team 1 - Core Party SYSTEM Members and Their Bonded Beasts
Year 0004, Month I-III: The Imperium
---
Day 19.6: Team 1
The core members of Team 1 comprise August as the main leader and party system host, but for now, the spotlight illuminates the others who stand beside him in this formidable group. These young individuals have been forged by hardship and united by circumstance, each bringing their unique strengths to form an unbreakable bond. Among them are Erik, Bren, and Betty—the trio of orphaned friends who have weathered storms that would break lesser souls. Then there's Angeline, the first refugee who arrived at Maya a couple of years ago alongside her now-deceased mother, carrying with her the weight of loss and the spark of divine potential. Finally, we have Adam and his sister Isabel, childhood friends of Angeline from their former village of Kirka, whose arrival brought both strength and complexity to the growing family August was building in the depths of Lonelywood Forest.

Erik Rubbard stands as the embodiment of reliability and steadfast determination within their close-knit group. His dark brown hair, typical of those from the northern regions of Central Arkanus, frames a face that has matured beyond his fourteen years through trials that would have broken weaker spirits. Standing tall at six feet and five inches, his lean-muscular build speaks of countless hours spent honing his body through rigorous training and the harsh realities of survival in the wilderness of Maya Village.
What sets Erik apart most distinctly is his unwavering seriousness and the natural authority he commands even among his peers. He approaches his responsibilities with a gravity that belies his youth, understanding that in their world, a moment's carelessness could mean the difference between life and death for those he protects. As the second-in-command to August during his absences, Erik has proven time and again that leadership isn't just about giving orders—it's about making the hard decisions when others cannot.
His dependable nature becomes apparent from the first glance, but it deepens considerably as one gets to know him. Erik possesses an innate understanding of tactics and battlefield awareness that makes him invaluable as both a scout and a sub-leader. His keen eyes can spot danger from vast distances, and his strategic mind can devise solutions that others might miss in the heat of battle.
As the oldest of the trio of friends who became orphaned during the continental upheaval, Erik carries the weight of being their unofficial guardian. The destruction of their village and the loss of everything they held dear could have consumed him with bitterness, but instead, it forged him into someone stronger. Through a combination of raw determination, natural talent, and the guidance provided by August and Angeline, Erik has not only survived but thrived.
His elemental affinity with earth remains largely untapped in combat, representing one of the few areas where his typically methodical approach has yet to yield results. However, those who know him well understand that it's not a matter of if, but when Erik will master this aspect of his abilities. His connection to the earth element reflects his fundamental nature—solid, reliable, and unshakeable when the storms of life rage around him.
The bond Erik shares with his companion Rexy, a formidable Grimfang wolf, exemplifies his natural leadership qualities extending beyond human relationships. Their partnership represents a perfect synthesis of tactical awareness and primal instinct, with Rexy's lupine senses complementing Erik's strategic mind to create an unmatched scouting duo.

Bren Anglewood represents the perfect balance of curiosity and capability within their group, possessing an almost supernatural ability to read the landscape and understand the natural world around them. Despite being the youngest of the orphaned trio at eleven years and seven months, his contributions to their survival have been immeasurable, particularly through his uncanny talent for locating water sources in even the most desolate environments.
His dark brown hair, matching that of Erik and indicating their shared regional origins, complements his agile build and impressive height of five feet ten inches—remarkable for someone of his age. This physical development mirrors his rapid maturation in other areas, forced upon him by circumstances but embraced with a resilience that speaks to his character.
What makes Bren truly exceptional is his observational prowess. Where others might see only trees and rocks, Bren perceives the subtle signs that reveal hidden streams, underground springs, and safe passage through treacherous terrain. This gift stems not just from natural talent but from his deep connection to his water elemental affinity, which manifests in ways both practical and mystical.
Initially shy and reserved, Bren's cheerful curiosity has gradually blossomed as he's found his place within their makeshift family. His transformation from a timid refugee to a confident contributor illustrates the power of acceptance and belonging. The encouragement he's received from August and the others has allowed his natural enthusiasm for exploration and discovery to flourish.
As the second member of their group to awaken magical abilities, Bren has taken to his water manipulation with impressive dedication. Under the theoretical guidance of the Guardian Beast Aetherwing and through countless hours of trial and error, he has developed basic control over his element. His approach to magic mirrors his personality—patient, observant, and deeply intuitive rather than forceful or aggressive.
In combat, Bren's water magic serves multiple purposes beyond direct attack. He can create defensive barriers, manipulate the battlefield to their advantage, and provide crucial support to his teammates. His spear and shield combination, enhanced by his magical abilities, makes him a formidable opponent despite his youth. The synergy between his Beast Master job and his natural affinity for reading the environment has also made him invaluable in their encounters with the various creatures that inhabit Lonelywood Forest.
The partnership between Bren and Kirpy, his Great Peregrine Eagle companion, represents one of the most remarkable bonds within their group. Kirpy's aerial reconnaissance capabilities perfectly complement Bren's ground-based scouting skills, creating an intelligence-gathering network that extends their awareness far beyond what any individual could achieve. Their shared connection to the natural world allows them to communicate on levels that transcend traditional beast-master relationships.

Betty Snow brings a unique blend of feminine charm and fierce determination to their group, embodying the complexity of someone forced to grow up too quickly while still clinging to the dreams and aspirations of youth. Her dark brown hair frames a face that alternates between youthful exuberance and the hardened resolve of someone who has seen too much, too young.
Standing at five feet eight inches with a slender build that belies her inner strength, Betty represents the heart of their group in many ways. Her naturally talkative demeanor serves as a counterbalance to the more serious dispositions of her companions, bringing lightness to moments that might otherwise be overwhelmed by the gravity of their situation.
The tragedy that befell the Village of Pipik and their subsequent banishment to Lonelywood Forest could have crushed her girlish aspirations entirely, but Betty has shown remarkable resilience in maintaining her sense of self. When their group finally had the opportunity to visit the city of Gremory, her joy was infectious as she indulged in purchasing cosmetics, dresses, and all manner of pretty things that had been denied to her during their harsh survival period.
However, beneath this charming exterior lies a fiercely competitive spirit, particularly when it comes to other young women in their extended group. This competitiveness isn't born of pettiness but rather of a deep-seated need to prove herself worthy of respect and admiration. Her rivalry with the other girls serves as motivation, pushing her to excel in areas that might otherwise be neglected.
Betty's work ethic matches that of any member of their group, and her diverse skill set reflects her determination to be useful in multiple capacities. Her progression in the Village Healer job, though still at novice level, shows her caring nature and desire to protect those she loves. Her expertise as a Housekeeper under the tutelage of their mother figure Theressa goes far beyond mere domestic duties—she has become the organizational backbone of their daily operations, ensuring that their makeshift home remains functional and comfortable.
Her fire elemental affinity remains dormant, waiting for the right moment or catalyst to awaken. Those who know her well suspect that when this power finally manifests, it will burn with the same passionate intensity that drives her in all other aspects of her life. The combination of her competitive spirit and inherent magical potential makes her a force to be reckoned with, even if she hasn't fully realized it yet.
In combat, Betty's support attacker role allows her to contribute meaningfully while still maintaining the flexibility to adapt to changing battlefield conditions. Her spear work has become increasingly refined, and her dagger skills provide her with close-quarters options when needed. The magical bag she carries contains an impressive array of supplies and tools, making her invaluable for extended missions and unexpected situations.

Angeline Ross, affectionately known as Gel to her closest friends, carries within her the most complex and perhaps most significant destiny of all Team 1 members. Her appearance alone sets her apart—possessing a face of delicate, almost ethereal beauty that seems touched by something beyond the mortal realm. Her most striking feature is her hair, white as fresh snow with a silvery sheen that catches light in ways that seem almost supernatural, marking her as someone special even to casual observers.
The trauma she has endured would have broken many others. Witnessing her mother's death—a sacrifice made to ensure her own survival—has left deep scars on her psyche, manifesting in her naturally shy and timid demeanor. Yet beneath this fragile exterior lies a strength that has been recognized by beings far greater than mortals, including the Guardian Beast Aetherwing, who identified within her "a touch of divinity."
Her relationship with August holds special significance beyond mere friendship. As the first refugee he welcomed into Maya without conditions or expectations, she represents his initial step toward building something greater than mere survival. Their bond runs deep, forged through shared loss and mutual understanding of what it means to carry burdens beyond one's years. It's telling that she speaks more freely with August than with others, suggesting a level of trust and comfort that speaks to his character as much as hers.
Gel's dedication to their shared home is unparalleled. Her mastery of farming techniques has made her invaluable to their sustainability, as she has toiled in the garden fields with a devotion that surpasses even her companions' considerable efforts. This connection to growing things, to nurturing life from the earth, reflects her innate alignment with forces of creation and renewal—a fitting parallel to her light elemental affinity.
Her personality presents an interesting dichotomy: while naturally calm and gentle, she possesses an inner strictness that emerges when situations demand it. This duality makes her an effective mediator within their group, capable of providing both comfort and guidance as circumstances require. Her advanced skills as a Village Healer complement this nurturing aspect of her character, allowing her to tend to both physical and emotional wounds.
The locked "Apostle of a God" title represents perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Angeline's character development. This divine recognition, while currently inaccessible, hints at a destiny that extends far beyond their current struggles. The Guardian Beast Aetherwing's recognition of her divine potential suggests that her role in the greater conflicts to come may be pivotal.
Her light elemental affinity, when combined with her divine potential, creates possibilities that are both exciting and daunting. Light magic is traditionally associated with healing, purification, and the banishment of darkness—abilities that could prove crucial in their ongoing battle against demonic forces. As she continues to develop these powers, she may well become the spiritual anchor that holds their group together through the trials ahead.

Adam Peerce embodies the archetypal frontline warrior, combining raw physical prowess with an unshakeable confidence that serves as both his greatest strength and occasional weakness. Standing at exactly six feet tall with a muscular build that speaks to countless hours of training and physical labor, he cuts an impressive figure that naturally draws attention on any battlefield.
His auburn hair, a distinctive family trait passed down through the Peerce lineage, catches light with hints of red and gold that seem to reflect the fiery nature of his personality. This genetic marker serves as a visible reminder of his heritage and the proud lineage from which he springs, connecting him to his father Red Peerce and the tragic history of their village of Kirka.
What sets Adam apart most clearly is his brash confidence and straightforward approach to life. He possesses the rare quality of being able to back up his boastful claims with actual performance, earning him respect even from those who might initially find his attitude off-putting. This confidence isn't born of arrogance but rather of a deep-seated belief in his own abilities and his role as protector of those he cares about.
His one-minded approach to problem-solving, while sometimes limiting, serves him well in his chosen role as the group's primary tank. When facing overwhelming odds or terrifying enemies, Adam's inability to back down becomes a crucial asset. His straightforward nature means that his teammates always know where they stand with him and can count on his unwavering support when the situation becomes desperate.
The loss of his uncle Christopher dealt a devastating blow to Adam's emotional stability, representing the death of one of his primary role models and inspirations. Christopher's example as a dedicated tank and protector had helped shape Adam's own aspirations, and his passing left a void that continues to influence Adam's determination to excel in his chosen path. Similarly, his connection to his uncle Jonathan Ross (Angeline's father) created bonds that extend beyond mere friendship to encompass shared history and mutual loss.
August's decision to provide Adam with the strongest available equipment reflects not favoritism but practical necessity. As the team member most likely to engage enemies in direct combat, Adam requires gear that can withstand tremendous punishment while maximizing his offensive capabilities. His custom armor set and extensive weapon array—including broad sword, mace, shield, and dagger—represent a significant investment in their collective survival.
His earth elemental affinity mirrors his personality in many ways—solid, reliable, and possessing tremendous potential for both defensive and offensive applications. However, his acknowledged difficulty with grasping complex concepts has slowed his magical development considerably. This limitation frustrates him greatly, as he can see the benefits that magical enhancement would bring to his combat effectiveness.
Despite his intellectual struggles with magic, Adam's practical intelligence and battle instincts remain exceptionally sharp. He possesses an intuitive understanding of combat flow and positioning that allows him to maximize his effectiveness even without magical enhancement. His Apprentice Knight job reflects his dedication to mastering the more refined aspects of martial combat, moving beyond mere brute force toward a more disciplined and strategic approach to warfare.
The combination of his Tanker class with his various job specializations creates a formidable defensive specialist who can adapt to different combat scenarios. His Warrior job provides the fundamental combat skills necessary for frontline engagement, while his Hunter training gives him the awareness and precision needed to identify and exploit enemy weaknesses. Even his Farmer job contributes to his overall effectiveness, providing the physical conditioning and endurance that allows him to maintain peak performance during extended battles.

Isabel Peerce represents perhaps the most complex and ambitious member of Team 1, embodying a fierce independence that both complements and contrasts with her brother Adam's straightforward approach to life. Her free-spirited nature and rebellious streak have shaped her into someone who refuses to be constrained by conventional expectations, particularly those related to traditional gender roles.
Like her brother, Isabel possesses the distinctive auburn hair that marks their family lineage, the reddish-gold strands catching light in a way that seems to reflect her fiery personality. Her lean build represents a conscious choice to maintain the versatility necessary for her all-rounder class, sacrificing raw physical power for the agility and endurance needed to master multiple combat disciplines.
Her secret admiration for August extends beyond mere hero worship, representing a genuine appreciation for his ability to excel in multiple areas of expertise. This admiration has driven her to pursue her own all-rounder class, despite the inherent limitations it places on her advancement potential. Where others might see these restrictions as obstacles, Isabel views them as challenges to overcome through determination and innovation.
The contrast between Isabel and her brother extends beyond their approaches to combat and into their fundamental personalities. Where Adam charges forward with confidence and bravado, Isabel approaches challenges with calculated precision and careful planning. Her seriousness in pursuing her goals stands in stark opposition to Adam's sometimes cavalier attitude, creating a dynamic that both challenges and supports their sibling relationship.
Her mother Theressa Peerce's desire for Isabel to embrace more traditionally feminine behavior creates ongoing tension within their family dynamic. This pressure to conform to societal expectations only serves to strengthen Isabel's resolve to forge her own path, demonstrating that strength and capability aren't limited by gender or social conventions. Her determination to prove herself on her own merits has become a driving force in her development.
Isabel's selective attention and tendency to ignore things that don't interest her might seem like a weakness, but it actually reflects a focused intensity that serves her well in her chosen pursuits. When something captures her attention, she applies herself with single-minded determination that often surpasses even the most dedicated specialists. This quality allows her to make rapid progress in areas that align with her interests while maintaining competence in the broader range of skills required by her class.
Her wood elemental affinity represents one of the rarest magical alignments known to exist, opening possibilities that remain largely unexplored even by the most learned magical theorists. Wood magic traditionally encompasses aspects of growth, flexibility, resilience, and life force manipulation—qualities that align perfectly with her all-rounder approach to combat and personal development. The rarity of this element means that she will likely need to pioneer her own techniques rather than learning from established traditions.
The extensive weapon array at Isabel's disposal reflects both her ambition and her practical understanding of what her class requires. Her short sword and shield combination provides her with reliable melee options, while her bow and arrow give her ranged capabilities that complement her Scout training. The spear adds reach and versatility to her arsenal, and her dagger serves as both a backup weapon and a tool for more precise work.
Her advancement to Party System Level 21, matching Erik's achievement, demonstrates that her unconventional approach yields real results. This progress represents not just individual growth but also her increasing integration into the team's overall strategic capabilities. As she continues to develop her diverse skill set, she becomes more valuable as both a combatant and a tactical asset.

CONCLUSION: THE FOUNDATION OF STRENGTH
Team 1 represents more than just a collection of skilled individuals brought together by circumstance—they embody the transformation that occurs when tragedy becomes the catalyst for growth rather than destruction. Each member brings unique strengths that complement the others, creating a synergy that makes their collective capabilities far exceed the sum of their individual parts.
The bonds forged between these young people through shared hardship and mutual support have created something approaching a true family, one chosen rather than born into. Erik's steady leadership, Bren's observational skills and magical development, Betty's organizational capabilities and competitive spirit, Angeline's nurturing presence and divine potential, Adam's unwavering courage and protective instincts, and Isabel's ambitious versatility combine to form a foundation upon which greater achievements can be built.
As they continue to grow in power and experience under August's guidance, each member of Team 1 is gradually discovering not just their individual potential but their role in the larger conflict that shapes their world. The trials they have already overcome serve as preparation for the greater challenges that lie ahead, and their unity will prove essential in the battles to come.
The diversity of their elemental affinities—earth, water, fire, light, and wood—suggests that their group may have been brought together by forces greater than mere chance. When these powers finally awaken and mature, they will likely create combinations and possibilities that could reshape the balance of power in their ongoing struggle against the demonic forces that threaten their world.
Their journey from desperate refugees to capable warriors represents hope for others who have suffered similar losses. In choosing to build rather than simply survive, to protect rather than merely endure, they have become living proof that even the darkest circumstances can be transformed into sources of strength and purpose. Team 1 stands as the foundation upon which August's vision of a better future will be built, and their continued growth ensures that this foundation will support whatever structures may rise upon it.
THE GREAT REBALANCING
With these enhancements, the comprehensive rework of August's Personal System, Party System, and the long-overdue rebalancing of the World System had finally reached its completion. August's Personal System had fundamentally disrupted the existing equilibrium of Centuury's World System, necessitating these sweeping changes to maintain cosmic stability.
This systematic overhaul represented the correct evolutionary path for both the world as a whole and August as the first Prospect to achieve such unprecedented heights within this realm. As he continued his journey through the mystical world of Centuury, these changes would serve as the foundation for adventures yet to come. The journey, in truth, had only just begun.
THE SLUMBER OF POWER
Meanwhile, August remained in deep, unnatural slumber atop the roof of their Deluxe Medium Type Wagon, his unconscious form a stark contrast to the cosmic forces reshaping reality around him. His prolonged sleep had become an increasingly concerning phenomenon, prompting his loyal companions to gather around him with growing anxiety etched across their faces.
Unknown to his worried friends, the world itself was undergoing an extensive maintenance update—a fundamental recalibration of existence that required August's consciousness to remain dormant during the process. The very fabric of reality was being rewoven to accommodate the new power structures and statistical frameworks that would govern their future adventures.
The mysterious slumber would persist for several more days, during which the final adjustments to the World System would solidify. Only when the cosmic maintenance reached completion would August finally stir from his transcendent sleep, awakening to a world forever changed by the power that now coursed through his being and that of his companions.
Until that moment of awakening, his friends could only wait and wonder, unaware that they stood witness to one of the most significant transitions in Centuury's ancient history.
