Skills: Mists magic, hand to hand fighting, with her magic she can see through stone like blown glass - it still has texture at times, depending on the type of stone, and color depending on the same, so the images through it aren't always crystal clear (and any non stone in the way looks solid as usual).

Background: Reika grew up in a Blood Legion fahrar. Her warband was being trained specifically for deployment in the Mist wars. After Rytlock went missing, Centurion Tyipa Stoneclaw came to her fahrar, and on recommendation recruited her warband into the Order of Whispers and then graduated them a few months early to send them in as one of the search and backup missions to find the Tribune. Through the Order she had gotten one of the asura working on the Fractals to make a device that, while highly experimental could let them pierce into some of the more remote and chaotic areas of the Mists, away from the lands typically visited in the Mist Wars. It was during these jumps, trying to track down the Tribune, that an error in the devices function left Reika with wings, a bandmate (Cella) with feathers instead of fur, and other such changes. While in the Mists, Reika and her warband encountered dark forces...one of which was for all intents a demon, who seemed amused at the group of young charr that came rampaging into his territory. He had his minions capture the charr, and decided to toy with them. Focusing his attentions on trying to break the ones that were already different, he told them if they just gave up and surrendered to him that he'd stop what he was going to to. Their Legionairre ordered the warband to stand strong and die before giving into their enemy...and one by one, starting with him, that was what happened. The demon let his minions torture them to death, all the while taunting Reika and Cella that they could stop it by surrendering themselves to him. Trying to stubbornly follow orders they braced each other and refused, attempting instead to fight off the ones that kept coming for their bandmates, until they were gone. Then they were ripped apart as Cella was taken next and subjected to the same. Alone and terrified, Reika broke, giving up and waiting for death to take her, for the creature to subject her to the same before sending her permanantly to join her bandmates elsewhere in the Mists. Instead he laughed at her, seeing her will crushed, and had her dragged to where he was. He grabbed her, drawing her close and she felt his presence engulf her, pressing in on all sides and drowning her senses, stealing the air from her lungs before she lost consciousness. She awoke, but not as one of the dead in the Mists with her warband as she expected. She instead was exhausted and battered, feeling as if every inch of her had been beaten severely. She was in a totally different place, with others around who she later learned were dwarves, who had found her unconscious and alone. She spent time with them, slowly recovering from her injuries in their care, though she felt some remnant of the encounter somewhere in her being, almost like she could still here his derisive laughter faintly. The dwarves taughther of their ways, and she embraced their magic, finding some similarities to the guardian magic she had once known but was having a hard time finding again, and focusing on what their magic offered to drown that sense of what tainted her. One found she had an affinity for the stones, and showed her a magic that clarified them to her... leading to her ability to see them more as colored and textured blown glass than just brown-grey rocks as many are. Eventually she left, and with the help of the dwarves was put on the trail of the Tribune, trying to finish her assignment for the sake of her warband, she followed Rytlock's trail out of the Mists. Though her mission was done, Reika was far from happy. Alone and a gladium was bad enough, but adding in strange, new,, unknown abilities, magic, and her wings, and she knew she'd be beyond an outcase trying to return home. She instead went to Lion's Arch to report in to the Order from there, and encountered Lexus. Lexus invited her to join their guild, and after getting help to give a valid seeimg excuse for Tyipa to use on her paperwork, she was allowed to join them as a part time researcher of the ruins (despite having no idea of how to research). She has been working hard and slowly making friends as she continues to try to do her best for everyone. Current Activities: Awkwardly researching the ruins in the Lost Precipice. Trying to help the guild where possible. Whereabouts/Residence: Lost Precipice |
