Shakti

The Age of War is where the true colors of humanity are revealed. Their allegiance, believes, ideology. Some abhor the cruelty of warfare, of the brutalized efficiency with which commanders lead and sacrifice their units. Some see the bloodshed as a way to truly improve yourself or the world. And there are those that stay deep in neutrality, either seeking to benefit from the potential of working for all sides, or unsure of whether or not taking a side is a good idea at all. Shakti is, essentially, both. Being the child of the Soxarian Tribes leader, she was called upon to take the position as chieftain after her fathers death and assist the now dominant Negas Empire, that brought the entirety of the eastern side of the continent to it's knees, in it's conquest. Naturally, the woman was quite perplexed. She knew she would become chieftain sooner than later but never could she even spare a thought of it being so soon, let alone serving the Negas Empire. Overwhelmed with pressure, the young heir fled the eastern plains and started a new life as a mercenary and arena fighter.

Now Shakti is twenty and she has grown into a wonderful Vulpo, albeit, one with quite bad manners. She became a blunt and straight forward kind of person, mostly because of her lifestyle. Also, Vulpos are, in essence, just really tall humans with fox ears and a variable amount of tails. As a proof of being related to the Soxarian 'nobility', her hair is very long and has an unnatural dark purple color, with her eyes being grey. Her body is fit, tempered from many casual bouts but is obviously one that has not seen any real warfare. This is due to the fact that Shakti's nomad lifestyle has lead her all the way to the heart of the continent, the Jorian mountain range that is considered to be a holy land by many and as such remains largely untouched by the current conquest of the Negas empire.

And while Shakti found solace in the peace of the mountains, an uneasy feeling started to gnaw at her as more and more news of the empires influence expanding started to appear. She thought of her home, of how wrong it is to let one country dominate the world. But she also couldn't bring herself to action. Indecision and doubt eat away at her soul as time cruelly passes... But she does earn herself a slick silver blade and the 'Silver Streak' name.
