Lucideus, a.k.a. Light Bringer

The god of light who illuminated the world after the age of darkness. Unfortunately, though he is quite incandescent, he isn't particularly bright.

The High Priest

The self-appointed leader of those gifted with magic. He's determined to use his power for the greater good of the world, whether the world likes it or not.

Idealistic Coffee Guy, a.k.a. Java

Another priest of Lucideus. When you can set things on fire with the power of your mind, what do you do? Obviously, warm up a nice mug of coffee.

Bob
