Serious character designs, no face-faults, etc.The kids are from Earth, and they are on a school trip abroad when they break away from the tour group to ditch the chaperones, and walk into an old tomb uncovered in an archeological dig. Someone touches something they should not, and zip, they are transported to another world. The first episode, they find the great prophecy in the ruined temple they find themselves in; it basically says that once they have done X, then they can depart. They each find themselves marked in a specific way.We have: Hank Mason, the boy you love to hate. Handsome as Apollo, captain of the football team, Eagle scout, within days of heading off to the pre-med program at Harvard. Parents bought him a Lotus Espirt as his graduation gift, etc etc etc. For all that, he's also a nice guy, too. If he were a stuck up prick at least you could hate him. Hank bears the Mark of the Hunter, giving his already impressive archery skills a boost, and opening him to the spirits of the forest. He can talk to animals, track, run through undergrowth with no problem, etc. (Ranger)Albert Preston Ericson, the bookish nerd with some impressive science skills. Slender and handsome, he's almost fatally unsure of himself at the beginning of the show, and he undergoes probably the most dramatic change over time. Steeped in science, he finds himself bearing the Mark of The Crown, the third Great Seal, giving him power of magic. This is totally at odds to his worlview and he starts off as a little whiner, but comes into his own as a dynamic powerful character who doesn't mind using magic to get what he wants. (Sorcerer)Dianna was going to be a lawyer, but now? Now she has the Mark of Shadows twined around her arm and has the power to go almost invisible in shadows. Always good at track and gymnastics, now she finds her physical abilities boosted to three times what they were, letting her dodge arrows and slap swords out of her way. (Monk/Rogue)Robert was a runt, a skinny kid who was picked on all the time. Now? Now he has the Mark of the Beast, and he's grown an entire foot, plus filled out with muscles that Hank would have envied. He's also prone to murderous rages that turn him into a thing to be feared. (Barbarian). Sheila isn't even human anymore! She's become graceful and svelte, a beautiful High Elf where before she was... rather plain and wrapped up in her own problems. She bears the precious Mark of the Star, giving her the power to heal all flesh and occassionally giving her prophetic visions. She was a selfish little brat who now finds that her primary power is to aid other people and not herself. (Cleric)Azzarasathas, a slender woodland creature, much like a unicorn, who joins with the group when they free it from a hunter's trap. She bonds with Robert, and is the only thing that can bring him out of one of his murderous rages. Hank is the leader, Dianna his second. They eventually become lovers, though they break up for a time when Hank is seduced by the evil sorceress Tiamat. Sheila and Al pair off as well, and they share a secret: they ain't going back to Earth and they secretly ruin the two early chances the others have of returning to their families and loved ones.</blockquote>
