Liberation Season 1
Axel Riotfin
Axel Riotfin (originally Righteousfin—he changed his own surname for fun!) was born into quiet prestige: his parents served as trusted counselors to Queen Thalassa, and from an early age, as the smart student he was, it seemed certain he would follow their footsteps. Yet while he respected the crown and the bond his family shared with it, his heart wasn't in it. Axel was endlessly curious about strange gadgets lost at sea and the mysteries beyond the ocean’s borders. What he lacked was interest in the Water Realms’ politics. The Tideborn dynasty never inspired him, and he dreamed of something more communal, more choral.
He left as soon as his studies ended, and never stopped moving. Axel crossed all of Petra, befriending adventurers and finding friends among outcasts of every faction. His travels carried him even into Space, where he bonded with Miss Qylara Watson and her crew, recognizing in her a reflection of his own background. Later, in Elektra, he worked briefly within the government and learned modern diplomacy. But when the Alliance of Evil rose, wandering was no longer enough. He returned to Petra knowing he could matter.
Axel understood his strengths. He could navigate monsters and misfits alike, forging alliances while remaining largely invisible to those in power. From the shadows, he helped coordinate prison breaks with Fennevyr and others — meaningful work, but not enough for him. His hunger to do more pushed him into riskier acts, until discretion failed. He was caught burning the stables of Monstelvania Castle, and was thrown into the dungeons, where he made himself a daily problem. Word spread... Old friends heard: Shadowfynn thought of him as the perfect asset for war.
In his first moments of freedom, Axel had already agreed to fight again: This time, he would not stand apart from the Water Realms, but neither would he return to the Old Guard. He's now joined New Wave, the sea’s rebels, a movement that embodies everything he once wished existed. Now he fights in the open, ready to help end Nebotus and the Alliance of Evil for good.

Karpvoc
Karpvoc was Axel Riotfin’s childhood best friend. They were inseparable and loved causing mischief throughout the Water Realms. When Axel left to explore the Universe of Monster Legends on his own, Karpvoc felt betrayed and abandoned. Yet, when his old friend returned to Petra amid the war against the Alliance of Evil and reached out, Karpvoc, even though he still held a grudge, knew he was in for a lot of fun. He couldn’t say no to Axel and joined him immediately.

Dredge
If Karpvoc is Axel Riotfin’s childhood friend, Dredge is his new mate. They met in the seas of Elektra, where nothing ever happens, and Dredge was bored and grumpy. Axel found him hilarious and invited him along. Dredge huffed in disdain but followed anyway.
To this day, not a single day goes by without Dredge complaining bitterly about everything they do and everywhere they go, but secretly, they both know Dredge wouldn’t trade his new life for his old one, not in a million years.
Dredge is a Brute Attacker with Instant Defeat, Repentance, Sunburn, Bleed, and random Hater skills, plus Bulwark and Aquaphobic Shield as traits.

Dol Righteousfin
Dol Righteousfin grew up in Axel’s shadow, yet he became everything their parents had hoped Axel would be: loyal to the crown, chivalrous, a brilliant advisor, and a magnificent servant. When Axel left the Water Realms, Dol found his own chance to shine, proving a talent for strategy and diplomacy.
The paths and views of these two brothers might be very different, but Dol has never stopped admiring his older brother, and their bond remains unshakable. Even Axel knew from the start that Dol was destined to outshine him at court, and he couldn’t be happier for him.
Dol Righteousfin is a Light Metal Controller with Time Stop, Cooldown Activation, Half Stamina Pool and Blind skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Tough
Rank 1: Immune to Blind
Rank 3: Immune to Control

Icebearg
Ursus was already jealous when Polar Blaze climbed the mountains and became the Summitfolk’s new star bear. Well… just wait until he meets Icebearg. He’s going to have a full-blown meltdown. Worse still, when he finds out Icebearg got help from Sorcerice to become the beast he is. She found him as a baby bear, freezing and covered in ice, and cast a spell that turned his weaknesses into strengths. This is the result. Welcome to the coolest faction in the Petra Mountains, Icebearg!
Iceberg is a Magic and Water Controller with Mega Freeze and Random Control skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Immune to Control
Rank 1: Tough
Rank 3: Status Caster - Applies Freeze Immunity to all allies at the start of its first turn
Lady Vermillion
Lady Vermillion wields the unnerving power to rewrite reality inside a person’s mind. With a glance, she traps citizens and superheroes alike in hallucinations so vivid they eclipse the real world, spinning epic nightmares as she moves freely through the chaos. Vaults empty, evidence vanishes, and colleague villains receive her silent assistance... All while her victims are lost in private catastrophes of her design.
When the visions finally dissolve, they return shaking and breathless, clinging to the relief of survival. The memory of what they endured burns brighter than any missing treasure or unexplained damage. Few have the clarity (or the courage) to question what Lady Vermillion did while they were busy escaping horrors that never truly existed.
Lady Vermillion is a Fire and Nature Tank with Taunt as a trait and Control Immunity skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Taunt
Rank 1: Tough
Rank 3: Status Caster - Gains Life Regeneration at the start of its first turn
Master Shannara
Shannara was born in a parallel dimension that exists only for wizards, yet she emerged to lead Magic troops across all of Petra. In the beginning, she focused primarily on elemental wars; however, as society shifted into factions, she became an indispensable asset to the Magic Council.
Because most wizards remain disconnected from the realities of war, the service she provides is invaluable to Xandrite Spellbound and the Council.
Throughout the years, General Shannara has matured, learning the art of choosing her battles. But given Nebotus' deep-seated hatred for the Magic Council, rooted in his rejection from their ranks decades ago, fighting is no longer a choice: it is an obligation. Now, Shannara is ready to ascend to the rank of Master Shannara. Wiser, more experienced, and more formidable than ever, she stands prepared to lead the Council’s troops into the present conflict.
Master Shannara is a Light and Magic Support with Total Damage Reduction and Stamina Drain skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Tough
Rank 1: Area Dodge
Rank 3: Status Caster - Gains Anticipation at the start of its first turn
Lailiel
This angel concealed her true nature to serve as an undercover agent for the Celestial Paradise, infiltrating Nebotus’ Souls Lair during his initial conquest of Petra. Tasked by Graciel and Elvira to study his operations from within, Lailiel successfully gathered invaluable intelligence without raising suspicion... at least, from the Evil Lord's inner circle.
Only Skellaria, an emissary from the Underworld, seemed to see through her disguise. However, for reasons Lailiel attributes to the fractured relationship between the Underworld Dwellers and Nebotus, Skellaria never blew her cover.
Now safely returned to the Celestial Paradise, Lailiel brought back more than just intel: She mastered dark spells no angel was ever meant to know. While her heart remains loyal, she has returned with an unsettling, spooky edge. Graciel and Elvira find her transformation slightly disturbing, and Lailiel finds their reaction deeply amusing!
Lailiel is a Dark and Light Support monster with Dark Protection, Evil Marks, and random Damage Boosts skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Celestial
Rank 1: All allies Immune to Sudden Death
Rank 3: Status Caster - Applies Dark Protection to all allies at the start of its first turn
Skellaria
Skellaria arrived at the Souls Lair as an official intermediary for the Underworld Dwellers. Nebotus had requested an emissary under the guise of "normalizing relations," but his real intentions were far more sinister. After only a few meetings, he attempted to recruit Skellaria directly, offering her a position in the Souls Lair as a blatant attempt to humiliate the Underworld’s leaders, especially Barbatos.
But Nebotus severely underestimated his guest. Feeling insulted by the offer, Skellaria abandoned the negotiations in a fit of unprecedented wrath, her pride as an Underworld Dweller burning brighter than ever. The bridge between the Underworld and the Alliance of Evil has been permanently burned, and Nebotus may soon regret wasting his final chance to win their favor.
Skellaria is a Metal and Earth Controller with Cooldown Activation and Death Countdown skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Hardened
Rank 1: Anticipation
Rank 3: Status Caster - Applies Daze to all enemies at the start of its first turn
Gneiss
There was a stone wall up in the Rocky Peaks, used mostly for announcements from the leaders of the factions—sometimes even silly little messages and reminders of the faction's members. One day, Rock Archdruid was thinking of spells to make rocks come alive and defend the faction in case Nebotus sent his troops up there. A good set of words occurred to him and he didn't have any parchment at hand, so he scribbled it quickly on the wall, thinking it was just a draft and nothing would happen unless said out loud in a ritual. Wrong assumption.
Now we have good news and bad news: The good news is that 1. The spell works!; and 2. Rocky Peaks has gained a fierce soldier: Gneiss. The bad news is that they'll have to find a new wall for announcements.
Gneiss is an Earth and Nature Attacker with Control Immunity, Healing and MegaStun skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Bulwark
Rank 1: Immune to Blind
Rank 3: Immune to Control
Scoutty
Who's the bravest scout in all of Elektra? Scoutty! He’s on a quest to build character, citizenship, and survival skills like no other. His fellow scouts tease him for being a bit of a 'straight-arrow,' but Scoutty doesn't mind. He’s got his eyes on the ultimate prize: the Eagle Rank.
He knows he needs 21 merit badges to get there, but he isn’t stopping at the basics. Scoutty is determined to unlock a legendary merit decoration by tracking down the planet's most wanted fugitives! It sounds terrifying for a little guy, but Scoutty’s got his knot-tying down and his canteen full. Stay safe out there, Scout!
Scoutty is an Earth Dark Attacker with Torture Immunity Hater, Damage Increase, Guard Down, Bleed and Quicksands skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Immune to Control
Rank 1: True Vision
Rank 3: Status Caster - Gains Torture Immunity Hater on its first turn
