Don't use wikia, the second you post anything there it belongs to them.
Use the Defiance Game Wiki
Name: Nyx Rainhart.
Species: Human?
Age: 24.
Location of Birth: San Fransisco.
Ethnicity: Appearance wise he looks like an ordinary american, however his unusual eye color and genetic information hints otherwise.
Background: When his was born his father discovered he was born with unusual DNA, whether it being a side effect of the terraforming or something else he was greatly intrigued. So during the early years of his life he had been his father's research subject. Shortly before the Battle of Defiance him and his family were relocated to an abandoned bunker to the east where his research continued.
At the age of 6 his sister was born sharing the same unusual genetics and from then on he was no longer his father's main focus. For 4 more years he spent taking care of his little sister and they began to bond, together they supported each other as their father's research continued. At night during a heavy storm the fort came under attack by mutants formerly known as the EMC and with the security lacking he took his sister and made his escape, the last thing he saw of his father was him being evacuated by his hired mercenaries. From a safe distance the two watched as the bunker fell under control of the mutants. Since they were free they had no idea what they would do from then on.
For the next 9 years they drifted from place to place salvaging what they can and doing odd jobs for people to get by. He personally raised her and taught her himself, surprised with how fast she was able to adapt to technology. By the age of 8 she was able to take dismantle machines, including arktech and reassemble them to their original forms. She was even able to repair most damaged machinery which helped them get by when they did work for people.
5 years later during a salvage run they are ambushed by a group of mercenaries called Echelon, during the ensuing firefight a large pile of debris collapses on Nyx trapping him under. Later on a nearby scavenger is able to dig him out and when he comes to his sister is nowhere to be found. He begins his long search for his sister and for 5 years he works as an independant mercenary taking on contracts whenever possible. After doing some Ark hunting he is offered a job by Karl Von Bach and agrees to assist him to the bay area, before accepting the job he got a tip that someone with his sister's description has been spotted near the Paradise territory.
And thus the story begins with the New Freedom's crash...
Name: Alma Rainhart.
Age: 19.
Species: Human?
Location of Birth: Undetermined.
Ethnicity: Similar to her brother she shares an unusual eye color and genetics.
Background: After her initial separation from her brother during the Echelon mercenaries' ambush she once again ends up back in her father's grip. Believing her brother had died during the fight she has long since became emotionally colder, even harbored a newly found hatred for the Echelon. During the next year at her father's mercy she underwent many tests and received multiple implants, including an artificial, yet functional left eye which allows her to sync with and even manipulate specific machines, one of which she had since named Azure due to it's coloring. One day after she was able finally sync up with the prototype that later ended becoming Azure she uses it to tear her way out of the lab and gains back her freedom leaving a trail of dead scientist and mercenaries alike.
With the help of a former Echelon mercenary she was able to find a place to lay low and with his help was able to train in a variety of weaponry during the next 3 years. She makes her way to the Bay area where she was able to salvage the materials she could find to repair and upgrade her sync'd mechanical weapon and later named it Azure.
Within the next year she is able to manipulate raiders, mercenaries, and other factions to gain access to the materials and information she needs for her ambition. Using her gained resources she takes further steps to building her own organization with her mercenary work to gain a greater reputation.
Personality wise she can be pretty cruel and merciless to those who try and threaten her, using the EGO implant she was able to get her hands on she became quite a formidable soldier moving about the battlefield swiftly leaving only a blur behind her. In the present she has formed a certain rivalry with the Echelon mercs. During her latest contract she was able to witness the New Freedom's crash first hand not knowing who was lucky enough to survive the crash...
I ended up creating both characters in the game but the fiction and backstory i'm using will end up crossing over at times with the what I plan to write. I may post my fiction on this website. I specialized with both characters too, using Nyx I gave him the more stealthy and distant combat style role with Cloak and Alma the front line shotgun to the face style with Blur lol.
If I do crossover things for my story i'll add the name of those i teamed up with throughout the story as a shout out or a main part depending on how long or often I teamed up with them.
They may even have more screen time whenever I come up with a name for my clan and they decide to join up lol. Thinking of a name is hard for me, at least factions or organization names lol.

Sergeant Piers during the pale wars was a young EMC Rifleman on the frontlines with the 23rd Infantry division, he was famous due to his reputation as a pro shooter in his civilian life. On the night of November 16th 2022 he went MIA but legends say he deserted after a horribly failed operation in the regions of war-torn Nevada. Legends also say he killed as many as 45 human and votan civilians living in perfect harmony during said operation. His nickname in the EMC was "Puma" because in extreme cases of survival he would tackle the enemy and unload a whole magazine from his sidearm into their stomach and slit their throats afterwards. Before the Pale-Wars came to an end, Piers brutally killed his CO to save Human and Votan refugees. After the Pale-Wars, Piers disappeared off of the grid entirely until E-Rep Soldiers with Van Boch found him at an abandoned EMC bunker on the outskirts of Boulder City, NA. At the time Piers was a hollow shell of his formal self for all of the people (soldiers and civilians) he killed. Nobody currently knows of his whereabouts.

I'm first just going to post here so I can remember to do it tomorrow morning before work. I'd love to be part of this and I just have to run over some things to get this in my head. First thing I will state is my character name will be Shira Do'Val. Sadly I couldn't put the apostrophe in my name in-game
Read my attached real history of the figure then add,
Was frozen in stasis until the proper reconstructive surgery techniques were available. Due to funding of the project being dismissed he was forgotten about until the wars began and was found and awoken from stasis by a von bach industries scientist. Looking at the state of the world he could only fall back on his old WWII and hunting abilities to become an ark hunter to survive.
Alright here we go! * In cass's voice*

Occupation: Drifter

Bodily Modification: Two piercings upon her left eyebrow, with a silver stud upon the right nostril of her nose. A tattoo resting on her left shoulder that starts from the shoulder blade and spans down the length of her arm even encompassing a bit of skin on her fingers. The design of the tattoo is primarily tribal which span to having snakes and intricate designs that encompass the whole of her arm. In the midst of the tattoo on her shoulder are printed words in the irathient language that reads: 'Defiant Heart' both words formed in a circular pattern with a snake wound around the heart being placed in the middle of the two words. On her right shoulder are the initials of the unit she was in for her short duration during the pale wars.
Personality:
A calculating type who will try to do anything to get ahead, while she does seem to have some morals inside her head many of them died on the day her past was cleansed of her family and loved ones. Despite seeming hard strong and hot headed there is a softer gentler side in her that rarely comes out; only a select few people can even say that they have seen this gentler side of her.
Backstory: Despite seemingly living a normal life from her birth to her teenage years if one can call it normal. Shira's parents weren't the wealthiest of people and cared deeply for their daughter as they crossed the vast universe toward Earth to provide her with a better life and a brighter future. Once they arrived things were different from what they had expected. Living in a small town outside of Phoenix, Nevada much like the rest of their race the Do'Val family was meant with much bitterness and contempt given their alien heritage. While Shira was old enough to understand that complications ensue with differences amongst people when they meet for the first time she could not fathom just what made them hate the Irathients as much as they did. Their home was terrorized in a daily basis and gave rise to a violent tendency in her father a once peaceful man who soon chooses to become what he was to protect his family. It wasn't long before her father was strung up in the market place for all to see the other Irathient families and especially the Do'Val family. This became the first instance that anger seeped into Shira's psyche one that would fester itself in time and become a ticking bomb waiting to go off.
With her father out of the picture Shira and her mother had to deal with keeping a roof over their head and while her mother a seamstress tried to teach Shira her ways she wouldn't have any part of it. Given that she wasn't racking in enough money as it was it made little sense to her as how the both of them would raise enough to keep the roof over their head anyway. So turning upon the morals her parents had installed in her since she was young Shira turned her sights on prostitution for any of those that would at least have her. With knife concealed Shira walked to one of the local brothels that catered primarily to humans but occasionally let in at least one or two Irathients. Once she had arrived she was almost immediately turned away given the statement that ' they didn't want their clientele tainted'. Though as she was just about to walk away from of the patrons could be seen grinning from his chair as he walked over to Shira. By the way he walked and began to talk anyone could tell he was drunk, she took this as a chance to show that she would be up for the task of bringing in money and possibly stealing if the buyers were drunk enough such as this one. With a Courteous smile as best as she could muster she grabbed hold of the patron's arm and led him to a back room and began her life down the dark road.
As the months turned to years Shira's mother wasn't any the wiser as she began to climb the ranks in terms of her age, growing ever feebler as she continued to stitch believing that she had a duty to keep. Through try as she might Shira's words always seemed to fall on deaf ears as she told her mother day in and day out that everything would and has been fine and she didn't have to worry anymore. Despite her mother questioning her about the money and where she had been Shira simply kept quiet and flashed a smile as she stroked her mother's thinning and whitening hair simply stating that one of the gods were looking after them. As the months soon turned to years her mother soon became bed ridden and was unable to continue her seamstress career, to humor her mother Shira would sit by her bedside sometime until she fell asleep trying to sew as best she could with the lessons her mother had given her before; it seems to have brought her joy and a smile to her face as she fell asleep but if only she knew what her daughter was up to and what she had to do to keep her mother under a house.
The constant harassment did not stop ever since her father had died, it did not simmer nor did it escalate but rather stayed stagnate with brawls and shootings happening every so often. Rarely did it seem was another person was hanged not after the last and the Irathients began to carry their own weaponry for protection. With a bit of scrip left over from the last house payment Shira invested in a pistol one that was called Wolfhound and seemed to be a sturdy one but she was not one to know of such weaponry. Only twice did she have to use the pistol and even then it wasn't shooting at the person but at least shooting the ground at their feet to show that it was loaded, one time was after a patron had got his feel but decided he didn't want to pay and another was during a brawl in the bar between a gang of humans on an Irathient male. She came to know him as Lukas and was someone who had just recently come into town as well, and while he no stranger to the conflicts of humans and irathients he didn't seem to have much of a head on him when it came to locale. Tending to his wounds and ensuring his safety Shira began to find lukas rather attractive given all that she had slept with he was one of the first that she actually wanted to and decide not to charge. It wasn't long before they struck up a relationship and he was visiting her home helping Shira with her ailing mother.
The first attack upon their town was a mortar shell landing just two clicks near the edge of town, though no one was in the vicinity the explosion itself had caused some harm to the building structures and ensuing pieces had punctured quite a few people. Though many thought that it was a misfire from a base not too far given that it seemed only one landed nearby their sighs of relief soon came to be encompassing panic as more artillery shells began landing near the town and soon right upon it. Knocking over building structures and demolishing statues the small town began to light up. Busy at the time with her mother one of the shells had hit nearby causing the glass by the window to shatter and push its way in. Throwing herself over her mother's body a few glass shards began to puncture her back and arm. The sound of screams were being drowned out with each artillery shell that landed by the house with several actually landing on the house and making holes in the ceiling. Given that the shots were becoming more 'precise' Shira tried to lift her mother out of the bed to drag her to safety but lacked the strength to do so. Thankfully Lukas who had been running out since the first blast to check on Shira came back and helped move their mother to another location one that was outside of the city. Just as they were headed out they came to see tanks on the horizon; much to their surprise the words "Earth Military Coalition" was painted on the side and all Shira could say was "Shtako..."
Quickly scurrying off to the side of the road jumping behind some of the debris that the artillery shells left the three of them quickly took note of what was going on. As they watched the tanks roll by with several platoons of men and women they saw several of the people open fire on the citizens with several cannon shells being fired from the tanks to take down the building structures. All the work she had done to ensure her mother’s safety was being down all around her, all that she could do was clench her fist as she watched in anger but was kept at bay by Lukas’s hand on her shoulder. As he pulled her and her mother up from the scene they began to walk away from the once quaint town. As they continued to walk they saw several other families and friends holding their own wounded out in the wilderness. Many in tears at the loss of their belongings and their homes; but the majority were out crying at the loss of limbs and the pain that wracked their body. Something to which Shira’s mother was not used to but given that her own body was failing she had just looked up to her daughter and her boyfriend and gave both of them a smile. Prying the ring from her finger she gave it to Shira and patted her on the cheek, before planting a kiss on her forehead. Telling her to be safe and wished to be left out her with the others mainly the Irathients for she knew she was only hindering their movement. Though she protested her mother simply smiled as she pushed her daughter away as she got out of Lukas arms and sat herself down next to another family that they had grown accustomed to while in the town. Tearful eyed Shira turned about with her hands balled into fist once again as she sternly began to walk away with Lukas right on her heels.
As they marched through the baron lands they soon came upon a raider encampment that seemed to be in the throes of a good time. As guns were being fired wildly into the air with hooting and hollering going on to match their joyous occasion. Shira smirked at the opportunity as she spotted a roller and a few runners around the area that didn’t seem to be heavily guarded. The question soon arised as to which one had the keys to the vehicles as she pulled the pistol from its pouch and began to aim at one of them. The first shoot was not fired by her but rather another military unit that moved into the air, several shots were fired into the group felling them almost instantly since the first was fired. Turning her head to the direction in which the shots came from she saw tanks and more platoon of people. Thinking they were the EMC that had ransacked her town she began to get up only to be forced down by Lukas’s hand. As they began to roll on by they soon saw it was rather the Votanis military that was rolling by, in fact it was headed toward the direction of the town the EMC had just come from.
An opportunity for revenge crossed her mind as she scampered up from the hiding spot and ran toward the vehicles and the platoon despite the protest from Lukas in the now fading distance she was soon upon them asking for help and delivering the information as to what had happened. One of the platoon units simply smiled and patted Shira on the head treating her almost like a little girl as she brushed the hair from her head. With a bit of a snark smile and a shy look in her eyes Shira began to weasel her way into the unit growing closer to the woman that she had just spoken with. Finding a bit of common ground with her that her parents were killed by the EMC and she wanted nothing but revenge as well; this woman by the name of Ori’entha. Whatever had happened to Lukas on that day was a mystery as he did not arise from the area in which they were both laying low to this day Shira believes that Lukas had made a run for it to avoid the conflict or perhaps he had died. While he was a handsome man he seemed a bit like a coward. A pacifist almost; something to which Shira detested.
As the days went by and soon weeks began to transpire Shira’s training with Ori was becoming a lot more strenuous as she grew used to the basics. Not only were there training sessions become heated but also their apparent relationship. Although Shira was no stranger to dealing with satisfying the same sex to Ori it seemed like an all new experience and one that she was happy to be with. Whether it was due to actually like Shira appearance, personality, or despite finding someone like her is still up for debate; but whatever it was she was enjoying the time spent with her on the road and training her for whatever they may have encountered. It wasn’t long before that training would soon become null when the announcement of the Armistice treaty was signed. Despite the Armistice treaty Shira could never bring herself to forgive the EMC for what they had done and all that she had lost, the festering anger would stay with her for quite some time as days continued to go by.
As she sits in a bar tipping back a bottle with the ring of her mother in hand all she could do was contemplate her next move as to where she would go next and how she would get ahead in life. Thankful for all the lessons that Ori’ taught her she picked up her jacket and headed out of the tavern.
