Personal history

History (short ver)
Birth: 1149
Age 10 (child): year 1159

• Made a few friends during her schooling years that she sees from time to time

Age 12 (teen): year 1161

• Her uncle Lucius gives some “advice” to her about family expectations that she doesn’t respond well too


• Her uncle Vincent offers some good advice about staying true to yourself and not trying to meet anyone else’s ideals

Age 14: year 1163

• Starts getting into petty trouble around town like fights as a way to get some care and attention from her family, which is often short-lived, but she keeps doing it hoping maybe she’ll face a real consequence or actually get some concern from her parents, and it becomes a bad habit


• After her uncle Lucius tries to get her to agree to arranged marriages to help him get more powerful connections, they have an argument which turns violent and ends with her fatally stabbing him. Her uncle Vincent helps cover up her involvement to protect her

Age 15: year 1164

• Takes a pickpocketing job and gets caught, the group tries to teach her a lesson but is stopped by her uncle Vincent who is revealed to be well-known among the criminal world and scares them off

Age 16: year 165

• Starts training under her uncle and his thieves’ group, The Silverfangs, and learns skills of the trade, finds allies in the thieving world, and for once feels like they belong to a real family

Age 17: year 1166

• She considers leaving her family for good but is convinced otherwise by her uncle who wants her to not make the same mistakes he did. She is told to stay on decent terms until she makes a name for herself and won’t have to worry about relying on them.

Age 18: year 1167

• She goes on her first big job with the group that should be business as usual, but something goes wrong and the group barely makes it out. But her uncle vincent is heavily injured and in order to protect his neice, says cruel things to make her leave him. She does but feels terrible and goes back to help him, only to see him “murdered” by The Gold Snakes’ leader, a high-level criminal whose business they were stealing from.


• While grieving, the group makes a choice to disband for some time in order to lay low, since the criminal group is gaining power and is on the lookout for their group. They make a promise to always be a family, even if they are far apart.

Age 20 (adult): year 1169

• In the wake, of her uncle’s death, she tries to split up her life, meeting her family’s expectations by finding work as an assistant, but she struggles. On the side, she tries to make a name for herself in the thieving world and in the guild Shadowscars, and starts building relationships with the contacts her group knew.


• Goes on a job that requires a group with 3 other thieves and the job is a success. The 4 of them all start becoming friends and hanging out outside of work, as well as working on more team jobs if needed.

Age 21: year 1170

• Takes on a risky job to steal back an important object that was stolen by The Gold Snakes but it turns out to be a setup. Accidentally destroys the item which was a powerful bargaining item for the group and is forced to pay it back by working jobs for them.

Age 24: year 1173

• Paying back the criminal group is getting harder and she wants to be free of her debt soon so she can get on with her life, so she takes on some high-risk, high-reward jobs in another city. After making preparations, she leaves the city and starts toward the city of Kelehar.

Education

• 2 of 7 members dead and/or missing


• Group currently disbanded for safety

Shadowscars: thieves' guild/group

• A group for mid-rank thieves, offer some protective services, assassin jobs, but mostly deal with stealing valuables from wealthy


• They mostly try to help people who fell into the thieving life either find good work or get out if possible

• A group high in ranks in the criminal world trying to move onto bigger things


• Trying to find means of entering noble life and higher positions of power


• Ruthless and cutthroat


• A very large organization with ties in almost everywhere

Accomplishments & Achievements

• Their first solo job with the Silverfangs, a test to see if their training paid off. Very successful despite several unplanned situations.


• Their first successful team job with Amir, Ivy, and Dara. A somewhat high-risk job that had no problems and a high reward.

Failures & Embarrassments

• Failure: Their first high-risk job with their old thief group went terribly wrong and caused the "death" of their uncle Vincent


• Failure: Took a high-risk job that was actually a setup, broke item they had stolen and has to work for a high-level criminal organization to pay back debt by working more jobs that are usually high-risk

Mental Trauma

• Traumatic: When they stabbed their uncle Lucius through the ribs, the feeling of steel piercing skin and muscle and blood, the sound of air catching in someone's throat as they choke, the heaviness of a person falling limp on you, blood soaking fabric and smearing on tile floors


• Scary: Having their throat cut by sharp wire, just deep enough to feel blood but not enough to cut through muscle, having a scar that won’t go away


• Scary: Get a cut over your eye and not being able to see but not knowing if your eye is still okay, having to fight half-blind


• Traumatic: having to leave her uncle Vincent behind after he was nearly fatally injured, having him say it was her fault, going back to help him, only to see him murdered, blaming yourself


• Negative: trying to get the attention of your parents as a child and having them ignore you or not pay attention, feeling like your invisible, realizing that your own family doesn’t care about you, thinking you'd be better off dead to them
