Background / History

Origin: Born in a militarized district where children were trained as weapons of war, Riven grew up in harsh conditions. She was chosen for an experimental bonding project with a parasitic weapon symbiote known as “Nox Fang.” The experiment succeeded, granting her immense power but at the cost of partial corruption.

Early Life: Despite her grim beginnings, Riven found ways to keep a mischievous and playful outlook. She secretly despised the military’s grip on her life and eventually escaped, becoming a wandering mercenary.

Current Status: Now she roams as a free agent, taking jobs to survive while keeping her true nature hidden. When pushed into combat, her monstrous side emerges—terrifying both enemies and allies alike.
