With the release of Issue 17: The Dark Mirror, epic archetypes became available at level 20 instead of the original requirement of level 50. With the Kheldians now accessable to us, we created the Warshade and Peacebringer duo of Attalus and Solfury. The two characters are part of a levelling pact and have been the cause of some of the most fun in CoH as of yet.
The duo draw inspiration from the Winchester brothers from the television series Supernatural as well as the Majere brothers, Caramon and Raistlin, from the Dragonlance series of books.

Personality
- I would rather be ashes than dust!
- I would rather that my spark should burn out
- in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
- I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom
- of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
- The function of man is to live, not to exist.
- I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
- I shall use my time.
- - Jack London, "Creedo"
An outspoken and rash individual, Attalus takes risks and is quick to act. He hides himself behind this brash character, but his kindness and compassion tends to shine through when the need arises. He is extremely protective of his brother, often smothering, and would defend Markas to his last breath.

OOC Trivia
- Sevenscar is a name I've used in a number of games (Champions Online, Warhammer Online, and now City of Heroes) and is taken from the heavy metal band Sevenscars from Cork, Ireland.
- Many Kheldian names are derived from solar objects or references to light. Solfury follows that trend with Sol meaning Sun in latin.
