SUMMARY:

In search of a better life, country bumpkin, Max Carter headed for the town of Axnay on Paprika Island; hoping to start a new career as a monster-killing warrior.  The island was infested with dangerous creatures and the warrior's guild there was paying good money to those powerful enough to take them down.  His application was successful. 

Delighted to have become a fully-fledged warrior, Max teamed with up with another low level swordsman, Rico Stanway and partook in his first successful quest.  At last his career was up and running.  That same day, however, a system change at the guild threatened to scupper him before he'd even got started.

In order to motivate the warriors to kill more beasts, the powers that be introduced three new rules.  One: Warriors will only be permitted to fight if they're part of a registered team, consisting of five members.  Two: All bounties must be split evenly between all five team members.  Three: Every team must take part in at least four battles every week.  They also increased the value of every bounty.  This meant that every registered warrior would have to work much harder to continue earning the same income as before.  There was, however, a far greater chance of earning more.  A lot more.  It was a most excellent motivational plan. 

Unfortunately for Max and Rico, when the rule changes were announced, the guild allowed the warriors to choose their own team-mates rather than creating teams of equal ability.  Two of the lowest levels there, they didn't get chosen at all.  Consequently, they ended up being saddled with the rest of the warriors that nobody else wanted. 

Dubbed The Axnay Rejects, this team of misfits, including a carpenter who'd never fought anything in his life, a mage devoid of the ability to shoot straight and a healer living in fear of virtually everything, looked very much doomed to fail.

CHARACTERS:

MAX CARTER - Very much the typical country bumpkin, Max knows next to nothing about what being a warrior actually entails.  He just knows that he's pretty handy with a sword and that killing beasts sounds like something he might be good at.  Having arrived in town dressed in clothes fashioned from old grains sacks, he very much fails to look the part, however.  Luckily, having befriended Rico, there's someone in his life who can show him the ropes and help him adjust to life as a warrior. CLASS - Power Blade. LEVEL - 1

RICO STANWAY - In the few months Rico has been a warrior, he's learned one valuable lesson.  Being a warrior is frustrating, but rewarding.  Because he's a low level, others are reluctant to fight alongside with him, which means he doesn't get much work.  Frustrating.  On the other hand, women find warriors sexy beyond words and virtually throw themselves at him.  Rewarding.  Despite enjoying their attention, however, he'd love nothing more than to shed the promiscuous lifestyle and find the perfect woman to settle down with. CLASS - Speed Blade. LEVEL - 5

LEILA WINTER - Leila's personality can best be described as horrendous.  A lightning magic specialist, famed for a string of mistakes that have left her deep in debt due to compensation payouts, she's entirely unwilling to accept that any of her errors were her fault.  In denial about turning thirty recently and likely to turn hostile should anyone even dare to mention it, she's not exactly swarming with friends.  The fact nobody wanted her on their team came as no surprise to anyone. CLASS - Lightning Magic Caster. LEVEL - 29

SOFIA NICE - Very much in keeping with her surname, Sofia is the nicest person you could hope to meet.  Terrified of virtually everything, including confrontation, she couldn't be more accommodating.  She's also an extremely talented healer.  Despite being only twenty years old, she's already mastered every healing skill in existence.  Her new team-mates simply cannot understand why this meek and polite master-healer wasn't every other team's first pick.  Upon taking her into battle for the first time, however, they soon find out why. CLASS - Healer. LEVEL - 50

TOMMY BRIGHTLINGSEA - Tommy's mother desperately wanted him to become a warrior.  Unfortunately for her, he had no interest in it whatsoever.  As a teenager, however, he registered as a warrior, just to stop her moaning at him.  He hadn't been back to the guild since.  Instead, he'd pursed a career in carpentry.  A change in the law, forcing all registered warriors to hunt on a permanent basis, therefore, was a horrifying development for Tommy.  Now in his mid 30's, he's starting anew with a career he doesn't even want. CLASS - Technician. LEVEL - 1
