Bedlam

Bedlam Backstory

Shadow running wasn’t a choice after the hand Bedlam was dealt. At first her life seemed normal but prior to her life as a wage slave she knew nothing. It was her job that drove her to this life.

Aztechnology took on Mavis and her sister Raven after both their parents were brutally murdered by a group of anarchists known only as the Strikers. Not much is known about this gang or their motives.

Mavis and Raven were at Aztechnology Northern Victoria for almost 4 years until the accident. It turns out Aztechnology had been doing many illegal experiments on paracritters and several organisations were not impressed. Over time the facility gained more and more controversy until one day someone took charge. A group of runners infiltrated the facility and had been hired to free the prisoners and kill those responsible. Neither Raven nor Mavis were prisoners or responsible for the atrocities that had occurred.

Mavis knew there may be some threat toward herself and her sister so they hid. Hours passed and nothing happened. Mavis could hear the worry in her sister’s voice, that was also the last she heard of her sisters voice she heard. The side of the cupboard raven was on suddenly caved in crushing her chest.

Mavis didn’t remember what happened next but to say the least it was gruesome. Upon waking up she fled Aztechnology with no real direction. With no SIN and a mind flooded with emotions she tried to make it solo on the street.

That was when the voice came in. At first she didn’t recognize it and tried to suppress it but one day she realized, It was raven. Hell-bent on getting her back she sought the help of magicians. Most of the mainstream magic’s turned her away but one listened. Not forbidden but highly scandalous she looked into Chaos magic.

This took her to a Chaos Mage, Falstrate Mercious. He told her that he could resurrect the spirit, but on one condition, that she be his apprentice. Being put down by many others this was the best offer she had received so she took it. Falstrate made her train hard for 3 long years. Over those years she learnt to see the spirit her sister had become. This gave her comfort but deep down she was not satisfied. She wanted revenge. As both sides of their agreement had been completed Falstrate offered for her to leave but she claimed she wasn’t ready to go and that she wanted more power. Happy with where she was in her training he agreed to continue “teaching” her so she could run his errands.

This charade continued for just over 6 months until Mavis realized what was going on. Outraged she confronted him. An argument ensued and after 5 minutes she blacked out. Mavis awoke to absolute and utter bedlam. Spirits were everywhere and Falstrate was on the ground bleeding out with two broken legs. She rushed him to the hospital where he spent weeks recovering. After a brief conversation with nurses she was told that the bills for his treatment had to be paid soon. So she did what she had to. After the bills were paid she was told that he would stay with them until he was rehabilitated.

Bedlam left on good terms with Falstrate and decided to live on her own in the spire, that was until it blew up. Luckily she was out running her own errands when that happened. Her landlord was nice enough to relocate her to the new spire, but as her luck would continue she got caught in the second spires lockdown. This is where she joined the current team upon being captured by an “EVO” guard I was released with the promise to help shutdown the tower.

Present day

Bedlam is currently the newest member of The Spartans and is yet to make friends with anyone. No one knows of her past and she hopes to keep it that way.
