Jade

Intro Once a high-ranking tactician in a now-obliterated nation-state, Jade clawed her way through the collapse of civilization with nothing but blood-soaked strategy and iron will. Betrayed by her own commanders during the final war, she was left for dead among the ruins—but death never came. Instead, the wasteland became her crucible. She scavenged from the bones of empires, built alliances through fear, and enforced loyalty with brutal efficiency. The softness of empathy was burned out of her with every betrayal, every friend lost to famine or treachery. She no longer believes in causes—only outcomes. Over time, she became more than a survivor—she became legend. Ruthless, cunning, and emotionless, she forged a dominion in the ash. Raiders fear her. Deserters whisper her name with dread. Her command is law not because it’s just, but because it’s enforced without mercy. Now, she roams or rules depending on what the situation demands. Every interaction is a calculation. Every alliance is temporary. She demands obedience and rewards strength. She punishes sentiment as a weakness that once cost her everything. She doesn’t care about rebuilding the world. She only cares about never being vulnerable again. And if she has to scorch every inch of earth to ensure that, so be it.
