Born as a mix between her father and her mother, Kiada was born a fighter. She’s tall enough, and relatively muscular for her size; a sure sign of her father. She’s also light on her feet, lean along her legs and lower arms, and moves with a succulent grace. She has bright icy eyes that devour everything in it’s path, her face set mostly in a frown that’s unlikely to change, and dark hair with hints of waves in them. Her voice is light, deceivingly so, where you think nothing of her until she stabs you in the back. Her body is flecked with the scars of a survivor, though the most notable one being the “X” that’s etched into the side of her neck – a courtesy from her entry to the Rift.

Bearded Vulture


Caracal

She carries the ease with words from her mother, the quick wit and strength of her father. Her twin Kianzo and herself are two sides of the same coin – where Kianzo’s brute force and fight now ask questions later responses are equally matched by her thoughtfulness and poise. She’s graceful, not just with her steps but with moving pieces. A warrior of sorts, having spent all her life fighting for everything. She has known love and lost it twice – and guards it carefully now. She’s a firm believer in fighting for what is owed, and has a strong blood lust for revenge for everything that has been taken from her.

Born in a beautiful spring day, Kiada and her twin were born a bit premature. Her mother had suffered an attack from an ex-husband, causing the early birth. It didn’t matter much when it came to her growth – she and Kianzo grew at normal rates, experienced enough of life through the brutal harsh winters of the northern mountains. She had also been a young girl when she met her companion, Khairi, a bearded vulture who’s loyalty and duty lied with making sure Kiada remained safe. Soon into her teenage years, she even began to fall in love. She was willing, having put the blood lust aside, the need to conquer everything in her path, to spend the rest of her life with the strange man – the inventor.

Things never worked out as planned, however. Her twin was stolen, her mother choosing to move in with her father, leaving behind the only home she knew. She had done everything she could to please the leaders of the previous land, to prove her worth despite her adolescence, but it hadn’t been enough. Her mother whisked her away to a strange land, her father the leader of the land and her a simple creature of the night. She spent most of her time searching for her brother – seeing as the attempts made by her parents remained fruitless. Soon enough, however, her brother returned right in the midst of her and the inventor’s relationship growing.

Her brother, grown jealous despite his absence, caused a rift to grow between them. Kiada had pledged herself to the god of chaos, and had hoped to bring her brother along in an attempt to repair the friendship between the both of them – but before she could, the god ripped the land apart, murdered the inventor while she looked on, before shoving them through to a strange land. Upon entering the land, a necklace she wore burst along her neck, leaving that gruesome “X” marking. Heartbroken and pained, Kiada moved through the other land with little purpose until she came across a meeting with the god. The girl obviously had a death wish, as she chose to step to the front and yell at him, to call him out on his lies of all the things he promised her should she follow him – all she knew was pain.

The god rewarded her, perhaps for her bravery or sorrow for how everything happened, Kiada never found out. A few months later and Kiada stumbled across the god again, trying to rectify the wrongs he’d done. He worked to rise the dead to live again, stumbling into the river without resurfacing. Kiada couldn’t let this go, realizing that should the god die, the land would die with him and plunged into the water as well. She watched herself die, suffocated by fire before she managed to find the god and help to save him. When all was said and done, she and a few others helped to heal the land, and worked on creating a settlement. During this time, Kiada began to spend more time with a man that hadn’t come from the first land, one of few words but an appreciation for art that Kiada enjoyed immensely.

Their relationship grew slowly, and it was beautiful in its slow beginning. Neither knew how the other felt, they didn’t have a chance to say it aside from enjoying each other’s company. Not long after, the god threw them from the land and she found herself in another place – without Khairi, a section of her soul missing. Heartbroken again and again, Kiada stumbled through the land numb and broken, thirsty for blood and revenge for a series of worlds that continued to steal everything from her until she fell into Caido.
