A goodbye
After almost 12 (!) years, it’s time for me to say goodbye to this blog. It will not be deleted though.
Here’s a (pretty rough and I’m sure not full) list of skaters featured here. They’re listed in alphabetical order by the first name (so “Ashley Wagner” is under “A” and not “W”). I know it’s not the correct way to do this thing but it was easier for me. Also, if you can’t find someone, try searching within the blog or just general Tumblr search.
Thank you for the company and bye!

Hecaball Player Bios
Orie Larkin
Team: Fae Unicorns
A very handsome young man? Well who really knows about that last part. Known to be fairly charismatic when they want to put on a show for the public eye but considered to be a bit distant during most other times. They get along well enough with the rest of the team and obviously have a fair amount of athletic ability.
They do consider themselves a fan of all types of games, both traditional and non-traditional alike. Hecaball is just another one on the list, it’s not quite as interesting to them as some others but it’s worth playing just the same.
When not playing any of said games they are often on their own conducting research that they don’t seem to speak to anyone else about. Beneath all the sports star charisma is an incredibly intelligent and somewhat conniving individual.
They seem to have a secondary goal while in or around Apricus, but what it is or who it’s for remains to be seen.
Khalid Omar
Team: Calere Crocodiles
The self-appointed team captain of the Calere Crocodiles. Khalid helped introduce Hecaball to Calere after becoming enamored with it. He’s watched every season, studied all the tapes, researched all the rules, and might solely be responsible for the sport existing in his homeland.
Khalid is a very happy individual. It’s almost impossible to bring him down. If anything happens he tends to shrug it off and move on. His father is a high ranking member of one of Calere’s bandit tribes so his upbringing was a little harsh to say the least. However it did teach him how to survive in even the most barren desert wastelands.
Dalia Magdy
Team: Calere Crocodiles
Dalia is Khalid’s best friend. She’s also sometimes the voice of reason when Khalid’s childish nature takes over and he’s bound determined to do something stupid just because he thinks it would be fun.
Dalia is the only member of the team not born in Calere. Her family moved to the kingdom when she was very young. She’s considered the most athletic member of the team and often times is the poster child. She doesn’t particularly enjoy this as she feels her team should all be treated equally, sometimes the media disagrees.
Darius Zaki
Team: Calere Crocodiles
The no nonsense member of the team. A former member of the Calere royal guard who took his leave after completing four years of service when he was younger. He found himself restless but since combat was what he was good at he ended up in the underground fight scene where h made a name for himself.
When Hecaball began to be introduced he saw a chance to try something new, something equally adrenaline pumping but perhaps a little less violent. That being said he does have a bit of a temper and isn’t afraid to get rough with anyone who decides to try their luck.
Adrik Morozov
Team: Nivis Bears
Adrik is the younger sibling of Dmitri Morozov. The most renowned fighter in Nivis, and one of Empress Daria’s royal guard. To say this puts pressure on someone is to put it lightly. Adrik is always trying to live up to the family name but fighting was never truly their thing.
When trying to excel at anything and everything Adrik discovered a love of Hecaball. Being part of one of the winningest teams in the Nivis league and eventually being asked to join the world cup team. Adrik is excited to see more of the world.
Ivan Federov
Team: Nivis Bears
Ivan is considered the planner of the team, some might even call him a schemer. He may not possess the athletic ability of Adrik but his ability to analyze the field is second to none. He’s able to come up with plays on the fly and adjust them the instant it’s necessary.
He spends his spare time going over as many details as possible when it comes to his opponents. Ivan is not particularly the friendliest member of the Bears but he will take some time to bask in the adoration of the fans now and again. He enjoys playing chess in his spare times and is considered a grand master.
Valentin Orlov
Team: Nivis Bears
The youngest member of the Bears and perhaps the most popular when it comes to their younger fans. Valentin is considered a bit of a heart throb though this wasn’t ever something he intended to be. It doesn’t hurt that he’s somewhat of a prodigy and considered by many to be the next big thing in Hecaball.
Valentin is extremely friendly and will go out of his way to take pictures, sign autographs and simply chat with the fans. He’s currently enjoying his first trip out of Nivis and acting the part of a typical tourist, doing everything the brochure suggested to experience while in Apricus.
Alcie Chronis
Team: Crepusculum Sentinels
The team captain of the Sentinels and perhaps the most skilled player on the team. Hecaball is a relatively new activity in Crepusculum but when it began to take off Alcie dropped everything to play. She took to it like a fish to water. Her natural speed and agility greatly outweighed her lack of physical power. Her somewhat smaller frame just meant it was easier to weave in and out of crowds.
Alcie is a fairly friendly individual. When the news broke the Crepusculum was opening up trade relations with other nations she did her best to study up on as many places as she could. One of her goals seems to be visiting as many places as possible. Luckily the World Cup has been allowing her to do just that.
Evander Lykaios
Team: Crepusculum Sentinels
Evander spent most of his early life studying under Father Sebastian, a high ranking religious leader and one of the Highfather’s inner circle. Evander and his younger brother are part of a group within the order. Not much is known about it but some consider it similar to the Templar of Apricus.
Evander was recruited by the Sentinels due to his physical prowess. He considered Hecaball to be a bit frivolous however there is a certain enjoyment in bringing victory to the Highfather. Evander is very quiet and tends to keep to himself most of the time.
Pierce Lykaios
Team: Crepusculum Sentinels
The younger brother of Evander. Pierce also belongs to a “sacred” order within the church. Pierce tends to differ from his older brother though. He seems to enjoy Hecaball, seeing it more as a training exercise and a way to show off his own superiority.
Pierce is the more cocky of the brothers. Despite all of Father Sebastian’s teachings Pierce still has an ego and a constant need to prove himself better than anyone else. Despite being somewhat quick to anger he’s much more chatty than one might think. He’s taken a liking to Caverns & Chimeras even though his brother calls it childish.
Rhea Drakos
Team: Crepusculum Sentinels
Rhea is the perfect mix of speed and power. Being deceptively quick and just as deceptively powerful gives her an extreme advantage on the field. Rhea has scored the most points of anyone in Crepusculum’s upstart Hecaball league and has accumulated quite the following back home.
When videos of her performance began circulating other nations she became something of a celebrity. Though she’s seemingly embraced the popularity, there is something cold, calculating, and sinister hiding behind the smiling facade.
