Ria Amsel

Ria Amsel (a.k.a. Skittles)

Ria Amsel was born to Cilly and Marc Amsel on December 24th, 1471. Marc Amsel was retained and dismantled on Dec. 21, and Cilly came into contact with Agent Caroline Meyer between then and Ria's birth. Grieving her own resent miscarriage, Caroline adopted Ria and Cilly turned herself in to the Foundation. She was dismantled Dec. 25, Christmas morning.
Under the protection of Henry and Caroline Meyer, Amsel excelled in the fields of strategy and fencing, quickly rising to the top of her class and going on toward the National Fencing Competition. On November 5th, 1482, while on a trip home from one such competition, the Meyers encountered 42-STR-0001, "The Beast". Mr Meyer was instantly driven insane by the neural-hazard, and swerved the vehicle into a tree while accelerating at least 129 kilometers per hour [80 mph], while Mrs Meyer was seemingly strangled to death before being thrown from the vehicle upon impact. Amsel's right leg was rotated 540 degrees, and her left arm suffered severe third degree burns. All three had their seat belts torn off. Eighteen month old Jaime Meyer suffered only minor burn injuries.
At 2331, one Jan Greyer discovered the enflamed vehicle and reported the scene to the authorities. Caroline was immediately pronounced dead by the officials [2458], and Ria, Jaime, and Henry were taken to the closest hospital. Both Ria and Henry under went almost constant CPR. Amsel's respiratory system shut down at 0201 but was revived thirty-three [33] minutes later. Despite constant effort, on November 6th, 0441, Henry was pronounced dead.
Amsel's condition continued to worsen, entering a cardiac arrest three more times, before finally entering into anomalous paralysis state. Her skin hardened, bending any needles attempting to puncture, and her respiration system completely shut down. Before being pronounced dead, the doctor discovered she was neither losing any body warmth or decomposing. The IRIS Facility Manager was summoned, believing it may have been due to an unknown Nyx Spectra. The IFM however, decided it was the result of post STR-0001 contact, as none of the usual evidence of Spectra activation appeared, and an autopsy of both parents proved her not to be of Nyx origin. Although taking a direct blood sample from Ria herself proved impossible, the doctors managed to secure a sample from what she already bled out.
The results came back positive, and the remaining Meyer family was taken in for questioning.
The only remaining member was Albus Meyer, Henry's father. Upon questioning, he claimed to have had no idea of Ria's estranged ethnicity, and a blood test proved himself to not be a Nyx. Jaime also came back negative. The Stormwakers investigated the event, and soon found the connection between the Amsels and the Meyers. A DNA test from Ria's blood sample aligned with that of Cilly Amsel, and Albus insisted he had no involvement in the scheme. Although Albus clearly expressed distaste when Ria's inevitable dismantle was brought up, no coherent evidence was brought up worthy of prosecution, and the case closed.
On November 11th, Amsel relapsed from her comatose and was immediately taken in for dismantling. Curiously, majority of her injuries had completely healed, leaving only scars and her crippled leg. Both the hospital's IFM and Stradanium Approved Doctor [SAD] signed as present for the execution. Before her injection however, security footage shows an adult male, later believed to be Albus, breaking in and shooting the IFM. The SAD falls to his knees, raising his hands in surrender, and Albus takes Amsel from the room. Consecutively, a bombing occurs in the buildings lower level.
Albus' escape plan involved the assistance of an accomplice; one Howard Schmitt. Schmitt was believed to be responsible for the bombings, and afterward retrieving Jaime from the hospital ward. After retrieving their respective packages, Schmitt made an escape with Ria and Jaime, while Albus caused a distraction for the Stormwakers and TEP [Tactical Enforcement Police]; a mass shooting. Upon the AMP's arrival, Albus was quickly taken down and pronounced dead, along with seven [7] of his victims [Not including the IFM]. Twenty-seven [27] were wounded.
Howard's corpse was found three hours later, two [2] kilometers north of the hospital, armed with his Thermal Pin Handgun and a hole in his chest. It is theorized that he fired his own gun through his chest in an attempt to destroy the IRIS tracking device installed at the base of his apex. He aimed too high and punctured his aorta, and causing his left common carotid artery and brachiocephalic trunk to collapse. He bled to death.
Ria Amsel and Jaime Meyer vanished for the next three years, only popping up on the radar occasionally, before vanishing again. One such encounter, just north of Ardon village, involved Task Force Martha sweeping and triangulating the twelve year old's position. Realizing she was being cornered, Amsel attacked and threatened an ITF, forcing her to report a false discovery in a certain area. After Amsel apparently fled in the opposite direction, the ITF reported her situation, and the ITL called a sweep in her presumed direction. Instead, Amsel moved toward the location the ITF reported, and toward their unguarded LAPV Enok. After scavenging through their supplies, she contently fled across the road and into a known sídhe field. Realizing what happened, the LTF formed a line sweep through the shrubbery. It didn't last long though, because two [2] LTF's became elfshot, and the team leader claimed that "any more effort wouldn't be worth our time".
The next day, the supplies Amsel had robbed from the Enok [generally just food] was found emptied and stacked along the highway. A message was found inscribed into one of the canisters, reading, "Just leave us alone".
