My name is Orpheus Flamel...
And 16 years ago, my beloved wife died.
I was young then. We both were.
However, grief spares no age.
My mind could not overcome despair, so
I swore to see her again...return her from the grave.
I would do it with science...using my own power
With no help from the Devil, nor God himself.
Story
After 16 long years, Orpheus Flamel and his team have discovered the ingreidents to the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary Alchemic artifact with the ultimate power of life and death, and have obtained them, using the Parcelsus Scrolls. However, an assassin comes to obtain the created stone. The assassin, without giving his name or client, confronts the alchemist, Orpheus, and commands him to finish creating the stone and then hand it over.
However, things do not go as planned. Just as soon as the stone is created, it goes out of control. Suddenly, in a stream of blue light, Orpheus and Wolfram are taken, thrust into a new world.
After learing of their situation, the two set off into this "Other World", Avalon, in the hopes that creating a new stone will allow them to return. However, their is a problem. The ingrediants to the stone were listed on scrolls that were left in a vault, within the home of Orpheus. Not to mention that it took Orpheus 16 years to find all the ingrediants...and the fact that one of the ingrediants, a certain type of material, doesn't exist in this world.
Thus, the two journey in order to find another way to create the stone...however, all is not well. For when the two entered Avalon, an evil from the past was set free...
Characters

Orpheus Flamel
Age: 35
Skills: Alchemy
Weapon: Gloves
When he was a young man, he was very interested in the sciences. After the death of his wife, he turned to a old pseudo-science: Alchemy. Now, at age 35, he has been accidently thrust into a world parallel to Earth, Avalon. In this world of Magick and advanced Alchemy, he sets off to find the Philosopher's Stone, so he can return to his own world and continue his goal.
He is smart, and likes to learn. Although he isn't the happiest guy around, he tries to be friendly and help people. However, that doesn't make him a saint. He'll lie to people when it benefits him, and can get somewhat angry.

Wolfram Black
Age: 29
Skills: Swordsmanship
Weapon: Katana
An assassin who was hired by an unknown client to obtain the philosopher's stone by any means possible. After he and Orpheus are carried to the world of Avalon, he realizes that he must partner with the alchemist if he has any hope of returning to Earth. Shortly after entering Avalon, his sword, mysteriously engraved with the word 'Jessica', is "stolen", giving him furthur motivation to journey with Orpheus.
Calm, cool, and collected, Wolfram Black is the perfect assassin. He has been a swordsman for 15 years, although he doesn't reveal much about his past. He is usually quiet, and reacts only to the most dangerous and strange situations. He is a realist, however, so he reluctantly will do things that are neccessary for him or his goals.

Rebecca Crowley
Age:16
Skills: Arcane Magick
Weapon: Wand
A senior student at the Academy of Magick, she becomes a sort of guide as her professor gives her the assignment of traveling with Wolfram and Orpheus to the home of Felix Hatten, a former professer who was an expert on Alchemy and Magick. Because of her own reasons, she decides to travel with the pair as what her teacher calls "independent study".
Although a prodigy, you wouldn't know it at first glance. She can be somewhat clumsy, but has a strong resolve. She shows some signs of affection towards Orpheus, but Orpheus doesn't seem to return these feelings; atleast he doesn't openly.
There are 6 more party members, but I won't reveal them now for spoilers sake. Maybe later on
