Hello everyone, new to the forum, but not the community, i played City of Heroes since 2005 off and on till it closed November of 2012, So here is my main characters backstory, hope you all enjoy.
Real Name: Natalia Grey
Home: Venice Village (land of Lumaria)
DOB: April 18, 1995
Age: 22
On a sunny, warm, breezy day in the land of Lumaria in the bustling village of Venice, a young woman sleeps in her bed. Natalie
a voice calls out loudly, Natalie wake up, you promised your brother you would help him, she calls out to her daughter, to busy sleeping
Natalie turns over to her left side and tries to doze off again. Natalie, her mother calls out again, opening her door. Her mother
looks at her visibly frustrated, fine she says with a stern tone, with a flick of her wrist the sheets blow off the bed onto the ground.
You promised your brother Natalie, get up, she orders her daughter. Alright Mother, i'm up.. are you not suppose to use your magic for personal use? Natalie says while yawning.
Of course i can her mother chuckles. I have free use as long as it's not for evil purpose, Get dressed the shop opens in thirty minutes.
Mother was always bossy growing up, but there was no doubt she loved me and my brother, being a single mother it was never easy for her, on top of being chosen
to wield the power of the majestic fox, Growing up we were always told tales of a mythical creature that watched over our land, a beautiful but mysterious fox, shrouded
in a dark shadow, every fifty years there was to be chosen a successor, one who would gain the powers of the fox, and that person.
was my mother, now she must choose a succesor, or else she would lose them, or so we were told. And if i am not mistaken, that day is today. While getting dressed i could hear
my mother Teressa using her magic again, Legend states that a great war was waged a thousand or so years ago in this very land by a band of raiders who was looking to steal this land
for it's resources, some sort of jade crystal buried underneath venice, not willing to give up there land, the villagers fought back but was slowly over run, The Ebonfox guarded our village
from the attackers, but little did it realize that the attackers had magic and skills that quickly out matched the fox, in desperation, it vanished into a cave...the raiders seemed to flee
and the villagers didn't see them again, i'm guessing that there numbers dwindled down to nothing, someone had found the fox wounded in a deep cave.
Dying to win, and wanting to win is two different things, wanting to win? Yea, good luck with that.
Natalie darted down stairs to meet up with her mother who was cleaning the kitchen, Teressa turns around to look at her daughter, Mother, how did our ancestor manage to persuade
the fox into helping them and gained access to it's power? Natalie asks curiously, Well Natalie, from what your grandmother told me, They found the fox hidden away in a dense cave, it was wounded.
I guess the raiders managed to gain a attack on it because the fox had a deep cut on it's hind leg, Our ancestor must of healed it, When your grandmother bestowed me with the power of the fox, She told
me that only those with a pure heart of our ancestor can use the power, those with malicious intent will forever lose the power, there is more to the fox than we can believe, Natalie filled up a glass of water.
Have you ever talked to the fox mother? Mother flicked her finger and the dishes vanished into the cupboard, No i have not, the last person to ever speak directly to the fox was your grandmother, I was to fearful
and not to mention, we have not seen the fox since i was a child. When Natalie was twelve, she was getting ready to go to sleep when she saw a flash of light out on the mountain top, and a dense fog swept over the village, I saw what
looked like a four legged animal dart through the mist in the field, that was my first encounter with the creature. Where it came from, none of us knows.. Some speculate that the fox was here before humans ever settled here.
So have you decided on a successor mother? Her mother looks back her, Aren't you suppose to be leaving for the shop, her mother asks sounding annoyed, Fine i'm going. Every time i try to ask her who she decided she always changes
the subject, today is the day that the power must be passed on, or so tradition states. Here i will help you get there faster she interrupted Natalie's thought, she placed her hand on my shoulder and after i blinked i appeared behind the shop, Darren was already getting
the shop ready for a busy day, Mother teleported you didn't she, he asked with a quiet voice, Yes unfortunatly, Darren didn't approve of mother helping me with her powers, You know today she has to find a successor don't you, i asked my brother as I opened the door for the villagers, We all know it's going to be you Natalie, the powers are to be kept in the family...You are the obvious choice to inherit it, he replied as he turned to look at me. Then why
does she always seem annoyed when i ask her who the successor will be, She doesn't seem to like talking about it. Darren took the first purchase of the day from a woman, who seemed to look like mothers age. As the customer walked away from the shop, Darren states, Well she isn't ready to give them up just yet, lately she seemed to be having fun with them. She knows it is time to pass them on. After a busy day at the shop we both decide to close up, the sun is beginning
to set.
Dying to win, and wanting to win is two different things, wanting to win? Yea, good luck with that.
Darren stays with his mate at there house, he just turned twenty seven years of age. I am the youngest of us and the one who helps our mother around our house. Not having my mother around i know i must walk back home, Staring off into the distance i noticed smoke coming from our house, in a moment of panic i run toward the smoke, not knowing whats going on i feel a sense of fear, what has become of our mother, of our home i ask myself. Little did i realize, that today everything would change.
Dying to win, and wanting to win is two different things, wanting to win? Yea, good luck with that.
There is more to come, When Natalia receives her powers.
Dying to win, and wanting to win is two different things, wanting to win? Yea, good luck with that.
