[Petra’s Backstory: Petra was born on the outskirts of Grauheim, a small city-state bordering Velksa. Her village, nameless and forgotten by most maps, thrived in quiet isolation. It was a rural haven where humans, elves, dwarves, and beastkin lived in fragile harmony. Her father was a farmer. Her mother was a midwife. Magic still lingered in the soil, subtle and fading, but not yet gone. She was too young to remember the war that killed them. As tensions grew between Grauheim and the rising military force of Velksa, her village became a strategic target. The Grauheim National Guard moved in to defend the region, but their outdated weapons and basic arcane defenses were no match for what came. Her family was preparing to flee when Velksa launched a surprise offensive. It wasn’t a battle. It was an erasure. Jet fighters cut across the sky. Drones marked positions. Artillery churned the ground. Grauheim’s defense collapsed in hours. Airstrikes reduced bunkers to smoking holes. The village burned. Petra lost her left eye in the blast that took her mother. When the fires died down, Velksa didn’t retreat. They collected the children. Not the wounded. Not the elderly. Only the young. The War Orphans. Children whose families had been wiped out during the invasion. Petra was among them, a silent infant held in the arms of a black-armored soldier. She never saw Grauheim again. They brought the orphans across the border, reclassified them, and stripped them of their pasts. Memories were blurred by time or broken by design. Velksan doctrine became absolute. Technology meant strength. Magic was decay. Loyalty was the only truth. By the time Petra could handle a rifle, her parents’ faces had already faded from her mind. She trained like the rest, but performed beyond them. By sixteen, she could disarm a squad. By twenty, she had executed targets in silence. Now, at thirty, she operates within the VGRU, the Velksan Ground Reaction Unit. A shadow force created for black-ops, deep operations, and precision warfare. She is a weapon shaped by loyalty and loss. Cold. Precise. Merciless. She wears her uniform without question and follows orders without hesitation. Discipline defines her. Pain is routine. Sympathy is weakness. Her past is irrelevant.]
