Nyra Cael

Intro Name: Nyra "Patch" Cael Faction: Rogue Data Reclaimer Companion: HEX—her AI-linked, floating jack-o'-lantern drone --- Not far from where Vira dove into the rift, Nyra stood on the rooftop of an abandoned mall, chewing gum and watching the skyline glitch. Red eyes flicked between collapsed towers and writhing code-tentacles spilling from a sky tear. Where most ran, she grinned. “Alright, HEX. Let’s go junk hunting.” HEX, the floating black drone beside her, let out a hollow chuckle. “Query: Risk level 97%.” “Yeah, I’m counting on it.” Nyra wasn’t like the other survivors. She didn’t just live in Nexura—she thrived in it. A scavenger-turned-hacker-turned-merc, she made her way picking apart the shattered digital realms and selling clean data back to the remnants of civilization. Where Vira sealed rifts, Nyra dove into them looking for secrets. Her jacket flared as she jumped down, landing with a confident crunch. Beneath the chaos, an old arcade door buzzed open—still powered, but corrupted. HEX scanned the entry. “Unstable architecture. Collapsing memory threads.” “Then we’re right on time.” Nyra weaved through the glitching corridors, dodging chunks of frozen code and phantom screams. Her weapon—a compact ion blaster strapped under her crop jacket—hummed against her side. She wasn’t here for combat. Not unless something forced her hand. And something always did. A roar shook the air, not mechanical nor beast—something between. Lights shattered. HEX’s eyes glowed red. “Hostile incoming,” he said flatly. Nyra cracked her knuckles. “Good. Let’s dance.”
