[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 2845243, member: 4936"] Background: Thessaly has little recollection of her life before she awakened in the chilly stone tower belonging to the Archmage Pharus. He told her that he'd saved her life with a one of a kind magical procedure, and that she'd need to train with him to master again the functions of her form. And while he was right about that, and about the strange magical powers she began to manifest, Thessaly came eventually to believe he was not truthful about saving her. Her suspicions were confirmed when she, with some patience, luck and using her new magical powers, was able to get a look at Pharus' journal. There she learned that she was no rescuee, but a subject in an ongoing experiment...an attempt to infuse a human being with the essence of magic, to create a new kind of being. When confronted, Pharus admitted it, and didn't even seem terribly upset that she'd read his journal. In fact, he seemed to have been prepared for the moment. There had been, he told Thessaly, some problems with earlier subjects. They sometimes developed inexplicable delusions regarding their pasts, and became violent when confronted with evidence to the contrary. It had been decided not to share Thessaly's past with her, until it was certain she was not going down that road. Thessaly immediately pounced. Decided by WHO? Out came documents, and a visit from one of the high generals of the Kysor army. Thessaly was a volunteer; a soldier in the Kysor military. Having served with distinction and multiple decorations, she had volunteered to undergo the experimental process in anticipation of a Kysorian counterstrike against the seemingly unstoppable forces of Tansar. The strike would be a departure from normal Kysorian strategy; a daring plan that could either turn the tide of war, or doom Kysor to invasion and occupation. No armies, no monsters. Just a small team of operatives; the best of the best. They would enter Tansar like a dagger, slip between it's ribs, and pierce its very heart. Unable to refute the story of her past, Thessaly still recognized that her old life, in most ways, was over. She had been remade. So she donned a mask that could disguise her, and re-christened herself as 'Sigil,' after the moving, changing runes in her skin. When offered a place on the team that she had given everything that she had been up for, Sigil agreed. (full sheet is ready when you are) [/QUOTE]
