Team POKR
Team POKR (Poker) is a third year team at Beacon Academy, known for being ruthless in combat and one of the least friendly teams from their year. The members of team POKR are combative, cutthroat, elitist and very good at what they do.

Their team name may refer to the red cards or chips from the traditional card deck used to play poker, or a 'red-hot poker' used to turn the coals in a fire, or even the flower red-hot poker.

Members

 * Pharaoh Bast - An offensive melee fighter, Pharaoh fights with 'Sun's Wrath' a combination 'Extending Crook and Flail'. The sheperds crook can be used like a club, a hook or to jab. While the flail acts similar to a flailing mace or Cat-O-Ninetails whip. The two can connect to create a staff like weapon for even greater range. In this state the flail can be shot out like a cluster of arrows on retractable wires. Pharaoh has little doubt in his abilities and goes into every situation with extreme confidence. His colour is gold.


 * Oilell Allena - A rampant offensive fighter/mage type, Oilell fights with 'Heartburn' a 'Flame Throwing Dust Racquet'. The heart-shaped racquet utilizes a fire dust crystal and a gust gun attachment that combined creates a flame thrower. Heartburn can be used up close and from a great distance giving Oilell the widest range for her team. A Queen Bee personality type she is used to getting her way. Her colour is forest green.


 * Knight Orval - A rogue type fighter, Knight fights with 'Diamond Dogs', two 'Diamond Strength Dust Daggers'. Each holds an ice crystal that can extend the length of the dagger by two, allowing for extended reach. They can also be broken off leaving the ice shard imbedded in the target. Or fired off as a long range attack. Shattering the ice extensions creates a small dust cloud useful for cover. Knight is the wildcard of the group, his movements, actions and opinions are often unpredictable and rebellious. His colour in silver.


 * Reign Zelus - A gunner type long-range fighter, Reign fights with 'Grave Dealings' dual 'Rapid Fire Slicing Guns'. These high tech guns feed through a pipe like piece of metal, towards a slicing mechanism at the top of the gun. The mechanism swings about three times a second, shaving off a razor thin piece of metal and propelling it out of the gun with the same action. The speed is relative to the speed of a bullet and the thin metal pieces are similar to small shurikens/ninja stars in shape and size. Reign is unforgiving and ruthless in nature, and harbors much jealousy. His signature colour is powder blue.
