Description: [edit] [history]

For years, she was deemed useless. Hated for being born with an awful power. Her inferiority clear for all to see, she stewed in jealousy. As if that wasn't enough, when she turned fifteen, she was given a choice. Keep the family name honorable by doing the world the favor and offing herself, or be disowned and sent to the Undercity. According to her family, she chose wrong.Her pride does not leave her, and neither does her jealousy. There is not a single person in the solar system that she does not envy, including the "people" she has to live with in the Undercity. But what happens when those feelings crystallize? When jealousy causes her to snap, and she becomes stronger than anyone could imagine? Well, comparison is the thief of joy, so she figures, why doesn't she steal it back?

Cyberpunk Undercities, a broken magic System, and a distant age's long war looming on the horizon, how will a new player disrupt the delicate balance of power?

Updates when I feel like it, I'm bad at keeping promises, lol.
