Name: Bernard Rillian Rondstrum "Bernie"
Age: 65
Height: 5'9"
AKA: Pyromaniac (formerly) "Crazy Bernie"
Bernard Rillian Rondstrum was a volunteer into the army in order to fight during the Vietnam war. He was one of his family's best elemental mages having absurd pyrokinetic magical skill and power, and was also considered the third greatest mind that they had had at the time. He was also a staunch believer in that they needed to outperform the Yggdmillenia family and after the way the Rondstrums were going to use him as a sort of leader of the family in order to further their company and appearances. His actions, however, eventually ended up with him being seriously injured. To the point of possibly dying, and in that time, it was the very people he considered rivals who saved his life. Since then he felt indebted to them, willing to help whenever he could, and was now very against the rivalry that they had had for so long. He became far more friendly, and his abilities were forgotten by his family even though he likely remains one of the most dangerous fighters they have.
Name: Beatrice Viara Rondstrum
Age: 35
Height: 5'7"
Although Beatrice went along with some of the family traditions, she was not so much into the healing part of the family. While extremely good at mergence, Beatrice enjoyed fighting to an extreme, she became rogue-like and ended up almost totally separating herself from the rest of them. Her combat skills were phenomenal, and her magical abilities were not dissimilar to those of her parents. Able to become invisible, phase through things, alter her age and age appearance at will, and could change her weight (though not so much gravities effect on that weight.) In addition Beatrice was able to manipulate the wind and air with magic, and would often create extremely small golems which she could use for a variety of purposes. Although she hangs around the family occasionally, she was totally cut out from the benefits of being a Rondstrum other then her abilities as she wouldn't listen to a word they said.
Name: Mia Heike Rondstrum
Age: 18
Mia was perhaps not as capable as her brother, and sometimes even less coordinated then an average person. However Mia is an extremely powerful mage. Mia is one of the only members of the family to utilize multiple types of elemental magic along with conjuration. Unfortunately, once it comes to offensive magic, or movement magic, she is a bit uncontrolled.
However, because of her inability to be precise or in control, Mia mostly uses defensive magic and golems she took her time creating...or ends up breaking something because she was rushed.
Name: Joseph Ikaru Rondstrum
Age: 20
Height: 5'10"
Joseph is the Rondstrum "Future champion" of sorts. Very powerful, skilled, knowledgable, determined, and a wielder of excellent lightning magic, he followed most any orders his parents would give him. He stuck in line with their traditions almost too much at first, until he was ordered by his father to "Tone down the anger and hot headed rashness" and did his best to do so. He went so far as to personally implant cybernetics into himself using his mergence abilities while he was still rather young. Making him extremely skilled at using them. While he is aware he has much to learn that could help him, he's still a considerably dangerous individual.
Name: Ryth Bigar Rondstrum
Age: 60
Height: 6'1"
Wife: Aryana Rondstrum
Son: Joseph Ikaru
Daughter: Beatrice Viara
Daughter: Mia Heike
Aka: "Ghost Commander"
Ryth Bigar Rondstrum didn't officially join the war like his brother, but he was very much involved in it. Although he stayed back with the company most of the time, supplying forces with their prosthetics and cybernetics, he had his moments of combat in which he was best known as the Ghost Commander. While Bernard was their greatest elemental mage of the time, Ryth was the best at golem's. His ability to create them seemingly out of thin air, created almost entirely out of semi transparent energy, as well being able to make himself invisible and almost totally immaterial, gave him the name Ghost Commander when he'd occasionally get involved. Exactly what his abilities were and their extent was never clarified as he'd rarely stay for long and only showed up in dire circumstances and left once the forces had things in control. Ryth took Bernards place as leader after the war and took the company on with excellent skill, he was also the main reason subterfuge was considered.
Name: Aryana Rondstrum
Age: 58
Husband: Ryth Bigar Rondstrum
Son: Joseph Ikaru
Daughter: Beatrice Viara
Daughter: Mia Heike
Aka: Eternal Maiden
Aryana married into the Rondstrum family to Ryth. She shared with him a particular oddity, and one of only two abilities she possessed, the ability to slow times effect on a their age. Why Aryana and Ryth were attracted to one another in the first place was kept between the two, but while Ryth is very reserved and controlled, Aryana is much more outgoing, though she was surprisingly accepting of the families traditions.
Aryana's second ability to introduce to the family was not so much magic as it was genetic, she was a mutant with the ability to alter gravity's effect on her without impairing her strength or other ill effects of it. In other words, she could be impossible for someone else to move, but would be able to walk completely fine on her own, or practically float without the discomfort of being weightless. Whether or not this ability could be passed on was not seen.
Name: Marya Falar Rondstrum
Age: Deceased
Marya was a wife into the family, but was also the reason elemental magic became incorporated. A german traveling mage who's ability with fire magic was spectacular. She began to teach the others how to use it, and was also the families origin of some of their Conjuring.
Bernard had been inspired by her abilities and focused his magical abilities off of hers. He did however manage to become more powerful then his family hero eventually.
Name: Mierr Rondstrum
AKA: The founder
Wife: Unkown
Age: Deceased
Mier was born hundreds of years ago and was the start of the family's legacy. Whether or not he was the first mage of the line is unknown, but he was the one to market the Mergence ability due to his unbelievable power and skill with it. From the records the family has of his abilities, only Joseph Ikaru shows promise to match what he was capable of which sometimes verged on necromancy. He was the origen of golems for the family as well, passing down the talents through many generations. His skills were also said to have gone so far he could alter the very air itself and control or change a person just by touching them. Some claims believe he could change reality and time, but these are not able to be proven.
Mergence:
Mergence is the family ability which permits them to synchronize with whatever they touch, or cause it to synchronize with someone else. After Mierr, this ability weakened, mostly it became allowing them to merge a limb to a person, for instance made of wood or metal, which would often possess super-strength, and would feel akin to their real limb though clearly distinguishable. It would also take away the chances of infection and rot that would normally come with having a wooden prosthetic attached directly into the flesh of a person. There are still a number of occasions where this ability was used as simply a form of direct telekinesis on whatever they were touching, but it was not commonly used even if they were able. In it's later years, Mergence became the ability to perfectly synchronize with prosthetics and exoskeletons rather then using natural elements, as that was the common use for it when people began using more artificial replacements. It is for this reason that most Rondstrums have many of their clothes lined with wires and small electronic joints, as they can then greatly increase their strength and speed just by wearing their clothes. Some, such as Joseph and Beatrice, are able to even just use regular clothes to enhance their strength.
