Ralya's Bio Hi as you already know I'm an Altarain Blind Warrior Woman. I was born October 29, 82 P.A. in the City of Splynn. Mom didn't have much time to be proud before we were both working (apart of coarse). I was sent to look over new slaves and herd them around. So I became quite familiar with the slave pens and many of the slave traders. While Mom was reassigned to barge duty.
For about 15 years I worked as a slave-herd (kinda like a sheperd but for humans) and a household domestic and guard for my Highlord. At this time I was given Sinclair (my dragonsaurus) and tranferred to barge duty in England. Sinclair and I became fast friends well as much as you can be a friend to a dumb animal. But you pet lover's know what I mean. We worked in England for about a year when orders came in that had me transferred to North America. Oh yeah, if you think a Splugorth Slaver is ugly you would never want to get close enough to smell one. Remember we have real good noses. North American was about the same as duty in England except the people have a different accent. So... life was good. Well as good as it could get in my position. One nice day in fall my life took a turn that I could never have anticipated. While gathering up the slaves that we had captured I heard two sonic booms in very rapid succession. Spinning around to see, the barge's response. The only thing I saw was the barge falling, followed by another two sonic booms. One doesn't have to a Rogue Scientist to figure out we were being attacked by Glitter Boys. I hurried back to the barge to see if there was any survivors. The only survivor was Cylene (a Blind Warrior a few years older then me.) Cylene and I decided that a hasty retreat would be the wisest thing to do. We gathered as much as we could quickly gather together and left before the Glitter Boys arrived. Cylene, Sinclair and I traveled inland (did you know 1 in 4 Blind Warriors would escape given the chance). Cylene and I were both 1 in 4. We traveled together for about a year earning money and sometimes only food and a place to sleep by ridding towns of monstrous threats. Sinclair and I were in Kingsdale when we ran into some kind of lizardman Ley Line Walker. Boy was he slow (spd 5) and his name was Rex. I didn't tell him that I had met many dogboys named Rex, he didn't think to fondly of dogboys (I wonder why). We were in a restaurant and met a Shaydor Spherian named Brrrkee. The way we met Brrrkee was that the restaurant was crowded and our table was the only one that would allow Brrrkee a place to eat. We were a sight to behold I'm sure. You see Rex eats only meat (a little on the rare side, like uncooked) Brrrkee is a vegetarian and I was eating a burger and fries. Our eating habits and the way we look, we had to be quite a sight. We all became friends over dinner that day. The three of us and Sinclair had few little adventures in the following weeks. I don't want to embarrass Rex so I won't go into detail. The three of us were propositioned by some anti-Coalition group to spy out what the Coalition was up to at the St. Louis Arch. None of us were to fond of the Coalition and the money was good (anybody need any Kingsdale credits)we decided what the hell, why not. So the three of us get briefed by some human female and are given a partial payment and resupplied. We then hit the road to the Arch. It was pretty uneventful for a few days when.... What do we see laying in the middle of the road but a mutant bear looking quite dead. I said that we should go around it and not stop. Brrrkee and Rex wanted to stop but for two different reasons. Brrrkee is a healer and was seeing a potential patient, while Rex was thinking how much of the bear would fit in our food storage. My vote of one, not to stop, was overruled. Needless to say it was as I suspected. A TRAP The mutant bear was playing possum and he had three friends hiding in the woods A Burster, a Psi-Stalker, and a Juicer. Mr Juicer was sure suprised when 2 shots later from my plasma ejector that his armor was almost gone. (He booked) The mutant bear was easy to subdue as was the Psi-Stalker. As for the Burster well it hadn't shown that it was anything more then a man at arms. If I had eyes they would have opened wide in surprise, because I shoot this person at close range (a perfect shot) and this thing just laughs it off with bearly a burn mark on the armor. Since my favorite weapon is a plasma ejector we quickly figure out it was a Burster. At this point Brrrkee does some sort of mind blast and knocks out the Burster. Rex and I explored the surrounding area to see if we could find their vehicles or hide out. After about 10 minutes we found a small house. While Rex and I were exploring the house Rex began to think with his stomach. (I would later find out, this is a typical way for Rex to think) Rex found a canned ham and just had to have it, after all it was MEAT. As luck would have it the ham was sitting on a pressure plate that set off a timer. We had five seconds to get out of the house. I made it out with time to spare, Rex on the other hand didn't he was diving out of the window when the house exploded. I found out exactly how aerodynamically stable Rex was. NOT! But boy he flew for quite a distance. I couldn't believe it. Rex saved the Canned Ham. We returned to Brrrkee to continue with our mission. We make to the Arch without any further incidents. Rifts are opening and closing all over the place! For once the other two listen to me and we leave the vehicle to proceed on foot. I'm beginning to get a headache from all the activity around us, when I notice two (human?) figures closing fast on foot. (Humans don't run that fast) Had to be Juicers.... It was. I target the one on the left and fire. A perfect hit again! (damn I'm good) I almost laughed when the Juicer I hit said "Noooo not again." But other one was still coming fast. The three of us begin to unload on this thing, completely tearing apart its armor. And its still coming! Brrrkee yells "Its a Psycho Stalker!" Rex says "So what?" "What's that?" Brrrkee shrieks out of exasperation. "Its a Psi-Stalker slash, Juicer slash, MDC creature you IDIOT." Rex says "Big deal, does it taste good?" "I don't know but I'll bet it wants to find out how good you taste Mr. Mage." answered Brrrkee. The Psycho Stalker closes on us real fast and pounces on Rex. So what does Rex do? He cast a magic net spell at ground zero. Now the Psycho Stalker's trapped but he's got a hold on Rex. Brrrkee and I are unloading on this thing with everything we've got and it's just not going down. Rex is cool, calm and collected. Some how the Psycho Stalker manages to free it self enough to rip off Rex's helmet and draw a vibro knife. Rex starts screaming "KILL IT. KILL THE DAMNED THING!!" I only wish I had time to enjoy Rex becoming unglued. A few more shots and we finally bring it down. With that out of the way we walk over to the Juicer. The Juicer begins to move and groan. Brrrkee begins to scream "KILL IT, KILL IT, KILL IT!" Well so much for pacifism. This time Brrrkee was overruled and Rex and I decided to question him. After coming to the Juicer (named Artie) tells us that he was hired by the Coalition to stop us. With a little more prompting Artie tells us his story.
It seems that a High Up in the Coalition Had hired a Temporal Wizard or Raider to go back in time and plant some sort of Prototype device to absorb Ley Line energy. If it worked there would be no Great Cataclysm. He said that there was a smaller device that was tested outside of Kingsdale and it worked. Until some Rebels came along and blew the device up. Artie said that he didn't like the Coalition they just paid better. |
