Our Heroes, Ladies and Gentlemen

I think we've waited long enough to find out the heroes of this story.  Below are the five main characters of this team, and a little bit you might want to know about them.

This is Tacto, the de facto leader of the group.  He never really wanted to join or form a group, but the five of them meet, and they're all heading to the same place, so they end up working together to get there.  Tacto is brash, rough and cocky.  He tries to cultivate a mysterious loner vibe, but fails.  Don't let that fool you, however, as he is still a great luchador.  He seeks the ultimate move so that he can be the greatest.

This is la Hija de la Sol, or Sol for short.  She's from a desert village which has been taken over by a horde of bandits.  She's tough, pragmatic, and wise.  She has a quiet, serious demeanor.  She seeks the ultimate move to free her village.

This is Pescado, a prince from a river village deep in the rainforest.  La Reina de los Rios (who I showed you earlier) is his mother, though the rest of the team doesn't find this out for a while.  He's grown up in the shadow of his mother, a powerful luchadora, and while he loves and respects her, feels he needs to make a name for himself where people won't think of him just as her son.  He seeks the ultimate move to open a mystical seal on a cave that contains his family's inheritance.

This is Maiz.  She is sweet, fun, and cheerful.  Her father too is a great luchador, and she seeks to make a name for herself too, but for a different reason.  Her father will only let her marry the man of her choosing if she can prove herself capable of fighting on her own; therefore she must defeat her father in the ring to prove this.  She seeks the ultimate move to free her destiny.

This is El Vellon.  He is a kind, sweet young man, from a mountain village to the north.  He is the most inherently good of the team, and strongly believes that the way of the technico is the way of a truly good and moral person (which contrasts with Tacto's belief that your fighting style has nothing to do with your morality).  He seeks the ultimate move in order to perform it for an old man in his village, who is cursed to live forever until he witnesses the ultimate move in the flesh.
