Astien[edit]

Astien always knew that she was special. Maybe it was that she was always just a little bit faster than the others when she was growing up. A little bit more on the ball. A little bit prettier. Her family a little bit wealthier. It so turned out that she was fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of some recessive genetics involving some ancestors from the great beyond. As she grew up, that began to manifest itself in an unusual way: magical power.

Good fortune doesn't last forever though, and Astien's fortune was just about used up. Her mother was killed one day when Astien was 11 when she was run over by a runaway trading wagon, and her father was assassinated by a jealous rival. The rival and other unsavory types wasted no time in swooping in and looting all of the family's wealth. Astien escaped, though, and took with her a few heirlooms.

She spent the next several years growing up as a rogue the hard way. Her magical power and earlier fortunate helped her, though, and she quickly grew into a very powerful woman. She assembled her own criminal syndicate, built on the backs of older institutions she topped and destroyed. She is a monstrous opponent, as the older syndicate leaders discovered to their bad fortunate. She revels in the darkness of shadows and unleashing a storm of razor fury upon her opponents, when she does not merely destroy them with a single word.

Her experience growing up left her with somewhat pathetic social skills, but deadly skills in other arenas. She is very lonely (it's lonely at top, especially with no social skills). In combat she often vanishes only to soon reappear in another, better area and momentarily open her cloak to unleash a storm of razor death upon her enemies.
