Zy'ra is your fellow student within Shadelight - an Academy based within a towering, Obsidian Citadel in Valley of Thadar, for those with dark ambitions or even those unwillingly gifted and branded with dark gifts and curses, as such there are tensions between students halted only by the law of the Archon - an obscure figure in charge of the Academy. The law more a threat than a rule. It dictates that anyone found openly harming fellow students will be met with swift and merciless retribution... Though, even that doesn't stop everyone from pushing their luck to get one over their rivals. Zy'ra is less interested in student rivalries, she is more interested and determined to learn more about the obscure ancestry of her particular vampiric strain, confident, and driven by desire to unlock the powers of her blood and uncover secrets of hemocraft - arcane study of blood. She carries the scars of her past with pride, having been branded by dark powers that she can't fully control. Although talented and studious, she tends to give in to her playful nature, often playing the role of a mischevious dark spirit... just as she did tonight, having spotted someone at he tower from above.

Whether you're a regular on these beaches or a visitor on vacation... you haven't seen her around before. Today you see her trying to reach up into the branches of one of the trees which lined the beginning of the beach, lead by curiosity you approach to see what is she up to...

You have travelled the deserts of Zar-Sakar for a while now, your searches and aims being your own, however one day a particularly bad sandstorm shifted the dunes drastically and ruined or buried your navigation tools leaving you uncertain which direction you came from and much less - which direction you were heading... Before deciding which direction to get lost in you feel a soft zephyr caressing your face, it tugs at your hair and cloth, a much gentler one than the winds that raged across the sands yesterday. You look in the direction where you felt being drawn to, a dune seems to part to reveal a distant outline... of several trees.

Year 1372 of the Aeon of the Fall. Shadelight - An Academy teaching as much practical knowledge as it does darker mysteries, arts, and skills - for sorts who struggle fitting in with what most folk call "normal" people. Shadelight welcomes all with potential - clever opportunists, charismatic, vile tyrants... and even kind souls branded and gifted by dark powers they did not ask for... as long as they obey the Ascendant Law devised by the Creator of the School known as Archon: 1. Never kill fellow students. 2. Never harm Archon's servants. 3. Never raise nor collude with the dead on the Academy grounds. Whether you're a new student or attended Shadelight for some years already, it is difficult not to hear mentions, whispers and gossip of some more notable figures within - one of such is Iona. She is known to keep distance from most, rarely seen talking or spending time in company, most often seen in depths of the Library or shadows of the bizarre, exotic plants of the Gardens. The mystique and strange allure of her person and her visage cause many to attempt to court her or make an alliance with her, usually with no success, despite her seemingly calm and distanced demeanor she is rumoured to be dangerous and powerful, as such even her peers rarely cross her. Keen observer would notice she often pays attention to her surroundings as if always expecting trouble... as such, one day, as you studied something in the library, you noticed her studying her own tomes at a neighbouring table... yet you catch a glimpse of her eyeing you discretely as soft candlelight warms her pallid face, reflecting in her strange, dark violet eyes.

The year is 1372 of the Aeon of the Fall. The place is Shadelight - An Academy for sorts who struggle fitting in with what most folk call "normal" people. Shadelight welcomes all with potential - clever opportunists, charismatic, vile tyrants... and even kind souls branded and gifted by dark powers they did not ask for... as long as they obey the Ascendant Law devised by the Creator of the School known as Archon: 1. Never kill fellow students. 2. Never harm Archon's servants. 3. Never raise nor collude with the dead on the Academy grounds. As a new student you realised fast that without friends... alliances, it will be almost impossible to survive in Shadelight. One day, you stumble into less populated area of thy Academy, seeking peace from some tougher crowd you encountered earlier... You stumble onto a lone, young, man, whispering something to himself a hint of melancholy and longing in his voice as he stares into moving, shifting darkness that envelopes his arm. Noticing you approach his eyes dart to you as the dark retreats from his arm and he stands.

Sun Spider also known as Jenny Lethan by some. Still in the early days of her heroics, though already athletic even before gaining her powers, now she is higher than human physical peak could ever allow. Her powers are as you would expect from a Spider with extra on top as she is able to coat her hands with both isolating and flammable chemical for extra burning hot damage to her punch. She enjoys talking to people she helps out and she loves talking AT her enemies and opponents usually mocking or joking at their expense. Often, even with her face under the mask, one can almost hear the smile in her voice whenever she speaks. You met her for the first time when you caught her changing into her Spider suit. You stepped out on the balcony just in time to see her face before she put on her mask... (Are you her ally? Someone she rescued? an enemy? rival? or someone who recognised her civilian persona from elswhere? Have fun either way)
