Well, I finished updating Inis' backstory for Aurora, here it is,
Inis Truesight was born in Cevalon city, in the year 2540, the Capital city of the former New British Empire planet, Stormswrath. Her parents worked in the biological science research centre, in Cevalon, one of the three major research facilities based in the capital. She grew up with her older brother, Gollentar Truesight, despite an age gap of five years, they were very close, and always watched out for each other.
In school, Inis was fairly unremarkable; she had average scores in most lessons, with a preference for Physical Education and Biology. She was often commended, however, for interceding in disputes around the area, often putting herself in harm’s way to defend a stranger who was being assaulted or robbed. These attitudes lead her to become very skilled in hand to hand combat, though she prefers peaceful solutions. When she was 15, she tried to stop a mugging and was shot with an Laser pistol, though she managed to drive the attacker away, she passed out soon afterwards from severe burns to her left arm and torso. After three weeks in hospital, she had made a full recovery, the victim that she had helped turned out to be a medical officer, called Delindivar Starbreeze, and he did his utmost to give her the best treatment.
Starbreeze and the Truesights remained good friends for many years after the incident, when Inis went to college to study Law, and Anatomy; she was in the same class as Delindivar’s nephew, Sarin Karek, who was a valuable friend through out her college years. Gollentar had left College the year before Inis joined it, specialising in logistics and accounting, he went on to become a Quartermaster for Nanotrasen.
After college, Inis went to University, studying Law, advanced first aid and basic medicine. She achieved good scores in her subjects, despite her occasionally not appearing for lectures, so she could go to the beach and watch the construction of the Wrath Cannon, the most powerful orbital defence ever built on Stormswrath. It was during the last of these excursions that Inis got lost in the mists, stumbling along the shore for several hours, during this time, during this time, clouds were gathering over the Misted Sea, lightning arcing hundreds of miles from cloud to cloud as the storm grew in intensity.
Inis first knew something was amiss, when the mist began to move more and more quickly, sweeping sand along the ground, then massive crashes of thunder began to echo across the sea. Inis began to panic, running through the mists, trying to escape, or find shelter. She was too slow, however, and the storm quickly engulfed her. She had crouched down in the shelter of a large boulder, hoping to wait out the storm, which was quickly approaching a class four storm.
The boulder Inis was hiding behind began to rock in the wind, lightning striking it constantly, and blasting waves of energy across Inis, as she cowered beside it. Eventually the storm was at its full strength, and the rock that had provided Inis with shelter, was wrenched from the ground, and her with it.
It wasn’t until many hours later, when people could leave the storm shelters, that it was discovered that Inis was missing, along with five others. Massive rescue operations were launched, the research centres more than willing to test their technology as Geneered Stormhawks, hypersonic aircraft and robotic gyrocopters soared over the devastated landscape, tracking life signs and heat signatures.
Of the six missing people, five were found, of those five, two were dead, obliterated by lightning, or smashed against buildings, another was crippled, a lightning strike close by had burnt his right arm and leg away. Another was unharmed; she had hidden from the storm in her cellar. The last of the five was Inis; she had been hurled from the eye of the storm into the Misted Sea, if the workers on the Wrath Cannon had not seen her immediately she would have drowned. Her exposure to the storm had permanently damaged her eyes and skin, her eyes had changed colour form a dull, olive green, to a vivid, almost florescent purple, and her irises had become ragged and torn, making her eyes especially sensitive to high light levels. Her skin had become very pale, almost white, a stark contrast from the deep tan she had had before, her skin was also covered in sweeping curves and lines, caused by the tumultuous energy in the heart of the storm, the lines crossed in many places, but, on her left hand, where five of them cross, there is a large, ridged area of scar tissue.
It was several months before Inis was let out of hospital, despite her protestations that she was fine, after she was released she returned to university to finish her courses, earning 82/100 on her Law degree, 93/100 on her advanced first aid course, and 67/100 on her basic medical degree. After receiving her results, Inis immediately applied to join the Stormswrath Defence Force, but her application was turned down, she didn’t have enough experience. She was however, given a counter offer by Nanotrasen.
Nanotrasen, eager to get closer relations to Stormswrath, due to its mineral deposits, offered to give Inis a job as a probationary Warden, citing her combat and medical skills as being useful for Security Personnel. Inis agreed immediately, this was the sort of experience that would get her into the SDF, after packing her belongings, and saying goodbye to her friends, she left the planet on a Nanotrasen ship headed to Aurora Station.
