A Synopsis of Characters

I have been told on some forums and by some other folks that my teaser and synopsis do not give enough information about the characters, which is the story's focus. In response to that I have come up with a few minor descriptions that may demystify that position.

Elec is a high elf with very little self confidence when it comes to fighting, but has certain skills that continue to force him in that direction such as setting and disarming mechanical traps and devices and a mastery of alchemy. Reluctantly, he accepts his 'destiny' and overcompensates for his lack of prowess with magical items and elixirs that enhance his abilities.
Saeunn is a barbarian woman who is displaced from her home after it was overrun by orcs and goblins. She is struggling initially with a choice of keeping an eye on her mother and giving in to her natural instincts and love for battle!
Rose is a human pick pocket who had a rough childhood and is a member of the Thieves' Guild. She realizes that she has missed the danger and excitement of her youth and now takes up a chance to rediscover that excitement on her own without informing her organization.
Garius is a former priest and current Inquisitor with the Order of the Faceless Knights, a sect of religious zealots who have access to every divine aspect of each of the gods in exchange for keeping their temples free of heresy and deceit. He is a natural leader and a quick study.
My overall storyline is an extremely layered web that has many overarching storylines and would be extremely difficult to explain in short order. Suffice it to say that this story focuses on an artifact that disappears from a temple right out from under the priests' noses and is the key component in a lich coming back into his former power.
The main villain behind the entire series is Zabalas Dimonia, an evil dark warlord with a taste for world domination in the Realm of Ashenclaw!
