I’ll provide as many details as I can think of. Pick
and choose what you find useful. I’ve got pictures I’ve mined from the
internet I use for them now, they are just the best I could find. I’m not
looking for reproductions of them, I only include them to help you form your
own mental image.
Please let me know if I can answer any questions.
The party goes by the moniker the Wild Bunch of the
Witchwood. Their core is a brother and sister from the Moonwolf
tribe of elves in the Witchwood in the Elsir Vale. They were joined by
their friend Adran when they set out and were later “assigned” their last
member by the elder of the Stagrunner tribe of elves who is respected as the
defacto speaker for all the tribes of the valley. Their name comes from
their unpredictable natures, their actions on the broad scale can be described
as good but they are very capricious and are as likely to insult and threaten a
hostage they rescue as comfort them. They are at times merry and flighty
and at times disrespectful and disdaining. They are fickle, even for
fey. They love mischief even if they don’t ususally intentionally set out
to cause it.
The four members are as follows:
Rolen
The fighter and armored juggernaut of the party. Tall
and powerfully built, especially for an elf. He wears the biggest,
heaviest armor he can find and delights in decorating it with trophies from his
prey. He swings a massive avalanche hammer in one hand and bears a shield
with his largest trophy, the now heavily battered skull of a green dragon
affixed to it. He has long blond hair and no eye color has ever been
established for him. He tends to smash into whatever is closest to him
and just wail away, laughing at any attempts at reprisal especially when he is
ganged up on. He will gleefully charge away from any number of attacks to
come to the aid of one of his weaker allies and as such his armor and body are
heavily battle-scarred. His enthusiasm edges much too close to crazed
violence for the comfort of any of his companions sometimes. At one point
he was carrying on entire imaginary conversations with the severed head of one
of his foes that was impaled on his pauldron. He is normally more under
control and has since gotten better, but that isn’t something anyone has
forgotten.

Lauranna
Rolen’s sister, generally kinder and warmer than her brash
brother but just as uneven. She is probably the most mercurial of the
bunch and has varied widely from mischievous to catty to adoring. She
loves pretty things and animals. She is capable of the most powerful and
destructive magicks of the party but doesn’t particularly enjoy using it.
Is much more at home simply patching up Rolen and Thane who get much visceral
pleasure from combat. All of her magic is light based, some of it huge in
scope. She prefers to hang back and bring down her lights on the
battlefield bolstering allies and burning enemies. Would be just fine
back at home resting on the accomplishments the party already has and enjoying
the perks and pretty dresses her fame has brought. But she worries her
brother’s nature would become even darker without her influence so she tags
along and has her fun where she can. She is petite and delicate with long
blond hair like her brother but with none of his strength or build. She
is the best looking and most social of the bunch. Her armor is very fine,
light mithral chain with decorative white and gold angelic wings. It’s
not very effective, built for appearance rather than function and she relies
heavily on her brother to guard her physically. Thankfully she’s the most
skilled and powerful healer anyone’s ever heard of as it’s here her true
talents lie. She’s fully healed her allies with a single spell and even
restored the dead to life on one occasion. She uses a gold and ivory
crosier as her implement. At the head of the staff is a shepherd’s crook
with a golen sun emblem suspended in its crook. Her short cape is a
feathered angelic mantle that glows softly on its own and she wears soft white
gloves enchanted to never get dirty that bear the mark of the holy city of
Empyron. She also wears a soft linen white sash decorated with fine gold
and set with a large diamond.

description but right thematically)
Adran
Adran is the party wizard, he specializes in Illusions and
Enchantments and isn’t a direct confrontation type of person. He’s a
bookish sort who would prefer to be safe at home rather than out where
Githyanki swords and dragon fire can get a hold of him. He’s tall but
slight, he’s not incredibly confident but he dresses very well. He has
the same long blond hair as the rest of his tribe and accompanies the siblings
because he genuinely cares about them and wants to try his best to keep them out
of trouble. No one was more surprised than he was at how useful his
little fey illusions and tricks have been over the course of their
adventures. Now about to level up to 14, he finds himself the most
powerful arcanist for hundreds of miles and the notoriety, requests, and
questions that have accompanied this growth are things he never wanted.
His illusions and mind tricks are mostly short range affairs so he is normally
fairly near Rolen in a fight and uses his various glamors and phantoms to
funnel opponents to Rolen and group them together for Lauranna. He’s
started adding some shadow spells as well to limit enemy visibility as fighting
dragons and githyanki seems safer if they can’t see the party. I don’t
really have any descriptions of his robes or staff outside of knowing what they
are called so I guess their appearance is up to your imagination.

Thane
Thane was a later addition to the Wild Bunch, once they had
left the woodlands and started dealing regularly with the larger cities and the
dwarves and humans and all the complicated commerce and politics involved
therein, Caliandra, the elder of the Stagrunner tribe and de facto voice of
elvenkind in the area, assigned Thane to keep an eye on them. Thane is
something of a fixer. He gets things done and isn’t always picky about
the means. Lauranna and Adran are incredibly rare resources and Caliandra
doesn’t want them hung because Lauranna or Rolen shot their mouths off to some
Baron or Merchant Lord. He’s more commando than spy however and is much
more likely to intimidate or quietly kill something in his path than try to
bluff or sweet talk it. However he is unbelievably deadly with a
blade. And that was before he obtained Duskfang. Now he’s an
absolute terror on the battlefield and has become increasingly brash and
reckless because of it. He will often decide who he thinks is the biggest
badass the enemy has to offer and immediately unload on them regardless of how
well defended or how powerful the opponent may seem. He’s been brutally
downed several times by the reprisals of his targets and those around
them. But as he always gets picked back up by Lauranna and always walks
away the victor, no matter the odds, he’s begun pressing his luck further and
further. Thane likes to think he’s like a Batman or Riddick but his ego
and his methods are more like some halfway point between Hank Venture and Brock
Samson. Thane is of average height and lithe build, with wild pale blond
hair and has tribal tattoos covering most of his body. He stands with the
same arrogance he fights with. He is dark eyed. He wears tight
drowmesh armor that constantly leaks shadow and an magical black scarf that can
shrink down to the size of a tie or billow out into a full shroud that swallows
Thane up. He wields daggers but in particular a Githyanki blade named
Duskfang based off the sword in Oblivion. It’s a twin-bladed dagger with
the space between the blades jagged with teeth. The handle looks like the
golden scales of a Couatl set with a dark sapphire. If you want to draw his offhand dagger, any
slightly curved dagger will work fine.
