Nessa Innash’s journey is one of survival, exploration, and self-discovery. On a moon in Realm Umbra where ancient technologies and dark sorceries collide, she is both a warrior and a sorceress, who is bound to the remnants of the past, but ever-seeking to carve out her own future.
Nessa was born on the ethereal moon of Realm Umbra, Lapis. Here the inhabitants are known for their ability to harness both the elemental fury of the storms that have plagued their home since the beginning of the war and the ancient arcane forces hidden beneath the moon’s unpredictable surface. Despite the chaotic climate, Realm Umbra’s largest moon is home to relics of an older age, where magic and technology coexisted before the catastrophic war. In the aftermath, the magical energies remained, but their control became rare and dangerous.
Nessa’s family was part of a nomadic tribe that survived by scavenging the wreckage of old Chrono battles and uncovering forgotten technologies amidst the rubble. As a child, she would play with the scrap metal, unaware that the forces of this desolate place would shape her destiny. At a young age, she was discovered by a wandering sorceress who recognized a latent magical talent in Nessa—an unusual bond with the moon’s arcane energy.
Trained in the ancient practices of sorcery, Nessa’s abilities began to grow, but they also started to warp in strange ways. As a sorceress, she could summon all of nature’s fury—sandstorms, lightning from dry air, and even heat waves that could melt metal. But what made her unique was her instinctual connection to the powerful, forgotten Chronos of Realm Umbra’s moon.
One fateful day, while exploring a long-abandoned scrap graveyard, Nessa found an ancient war machine that seemed to respond to her presence. The moment she climbed inside, the Chrono’s systems sparked to life, recognizing her connection and forming an unexpected symbiosis. The Chrono itself, a massive and imposing machine named Ryu, became infused with lost magical technology that was dormant for centuries. To the surprise of many, the fusion of Nessa’s magic with the Chrono allowed her to control it as though it were an extension of her own body.
This fusion enables ancient magic to flow through the Chrono and alter its very essence, making it a hybrid between sorceress and machine. Now, Nessa can channel her magic through the Ryu, enhancing its devastating power with blasts elemental fury. In battle, she’s a master of blending magic and machine. She is a sorceress who dances on the edge of destruction, capable of unleashing fury on her enemies.
Yet, despite her power, Nessa remains deeply conflicted. The fusion with the Chrono is beginning to affect her mind, as the line between herself and her machine blurs. She fears that one day, the arcane power that fuels her may consume her entirely, turning her into something far worse than any enemy she has faced.
Her talents have drawn the attention of powerful forces across the Realm — both those who seek to control the it and those who fear the resurgence of the old magic. Nessa is often seen as a rogue and a wild card who moves from conflict to conflict, using her Chrono and powers to protect those who cannot defend themselves, or to punish those who abuse power.
Now, the mystery remains whether her realm finally has a champion to take back what was lost at the beginning of this war, or will one of the more powerful realms come for Nessa to try and harness her power? Only time will tell…
