Gate Hoppers: The Grand Hoppers

As stated before each Grand Hopper is one of the heads of the Federation, as such they are recognized easily wherever the Federation is known. You could even say they're regarded as walking legends. Each are also highly secretive individuals, with much of their personal lives unknown to anyone outside their personal circles.

Grand Rhino Hopper:

Name: Vingaurd

Title: Breathing Fortress

Known Information: The first thing conjured into mind when thinking of this individual is his monstrous size. The second thing, is how spot-on his title is, as the only known Relic he wields is the Kingdom Come Raiment. An absolutely massive set of armor in the appearance of an ancient stone golem. Yet, he is the least feared Grand Hopper of all. Known for spending vast amounts of his spare time seemingly wafting about doing favors for people. To the ire of many parents he also seems to have a liking to children, which isn't the problem, it's when they come home wired on sweets that's the issue. His species is unknown, as he is never without his raiment. He also never travels far without his trusty aid, one of the only well-known Noir Hoppers Lularissa, a snake-type hybrid.

Grand Lion Hopper:

Name: Hildéverde

Title: Scarlet Wardancer

Known information: Hildéverde is both feared and respected by those who know of the Federation. She oversees the training of all Lion Hoppers herself, and routinely scouts for other individuals who are apt for her training. The only Grand who allows her face to be seen by even the public, appearing entirely human with a peculiar third eye atop her head. The world she hails from is unknown, as she seemingly just walked into the eye of the Federation. The Relics she is known to wield are the Armiger's Shifter, a Weapon Relic with the property of being able to change into any type of weaponry that the wielder knows how to make. Along with the Helm of Oculus, which enhances the wielders natural sight to give one sight even where their eyes can't reach. Typically travels alone, yet her Pride force is never long away. It consists of hand-picked Hoppers whom she trains herself.

Grand Wasp Hopper:

Name: Vörshkyn

Title: Great Blue Bolt

Known information: Not much is actually known about this strange woman, as she's never even around long enough to answer any questions. Hilariously, she gives the name "Wasp" a nearly literal meaning, as she's a bee beast-man. The Relics she carries as well, are largely unknown, other than that she has one teleportation-type Relic that gave her the title the Great Blue Bolt. Enjoys eating sweet foods and occasionally dancing, but she'd never bee caught doing it.

Grand Mole Hopper:

Name: ???

Title: Dredge of Molten Terra

Known information: Arguably the least is known about this particular Grand. They keep to themselves largely past two Hoppers always seen traveling with the Dredge. Their species too, is unknown as they wear a crystalline armor of sorts. It could possibly be a Relic, however that is also unknown. The only known Relic they wield is the Splitter of Earth, a monstrously sized pickaxe that can pierce most ores with ease. They enjoy sneaking up on people by acting like a pile of crystals. Needless to say they have the heart of a prankster.

Grand Vulture Hoppers:

Name: Jiinko Ninērr

Title: Her Lady of Benevolence

Known Information: There's an ongoing and heated debate amongst her fans as to whether she is an actual bird-type hybrid or beast-man, as despite her humanoid appearance she's often seen with actual wings. This may also be a Relic she wields, but none such like it are in any databases. She's also the reason why Vulture Hoppers got their name, due to her white bird-like Utility Relic she wears as both her clothes and armor. She is tied for the most well known Grand along with the Liege. A kind hearted individual who dedicates her life to helping and enriching others, as such her favored Relic is a highly modified version of a well-known Relic called the Surgeon's Arms. A Relic consisting of many tentacle-like metal appendages that can form different medical equipment off the hands. She's known for being highly maternal, with many Hoppers regarding her as a second mother, including Vörshkyn. Likes to garden in her spare time.

Name: ????

Title: Liege of Decay

Known Information: A highly misunderstood individual, likely due to the fact that despite him being so well known little is actually known of him. In direct contrast to the light garb of other Vultures he's clouded in a dark cloak that seems to eat light, along with all his Crows. His Crows are a special force of Vulture Hoppers who aid in his studies, known better as the Corpse-nappers because they regularly take the corpses of amalgams and new beasts for study. In truth, he's an extremely shy individual who loves making friends and sharing his love of the arts with others. The only known Relic he carries is the Cane of Home, a Relic by his own design that makes others feel more calm when around him.

Grand Gorilla Hopper:

Name: Brûtivä

Title: Heartforge

Known Information: A Rhino-type beast-man who's typically locked away forging at his smithy. There's nothing he enjoys more than making a Relic that a Hopper will cherish. Most who meet him would call him gruff, crass and maybe downright rude which is a problem many of his people have, despite them not trying to be that way. He's not easy around the edges, or great with people but he's a great teacher to anyone looking to forge. His favored Relics are the Forge of Might and the Continental Hammer. A forge with fire that burns as hot as a sun but never scorches the wielder, and a hammer that can withstand any punishment. Enjoys making and collecting glass figurines.

Grand Owl Hopper:

Name: Grishka

Title: Hoarder Of The Forbidden

Known Information: A solitary woman who loves nothing more than learning things she honestly shouldn't. May have a problem hoarding books as well but don't tell her. She also enjoys shiny things, which may be due to the fact she's a moth-type beast-man. Nothing is known about the Relics she wields as she's never been seen fighting, or rarely if at all seen point blank. Many who do talk to her recognize her immense intellect, but she can be awfully frank. She enjoys visiting book shops in other worlds in disguise to add to get already massive collection, and enjoys birdwatching.

((I'll add more into this too, this is just what I've figured about them such far.))
