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.

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.
