Alright, so here's another lore drop post on a different oc of mine! This one is currently being used in a homebrew DnD campaign alongside with 3 other players, but I've also delved into different AUs and possible canons, depending on how certain things go in the campaign, but without further ado, here's my other girl:

Name: Niira

Class: Doppelganger/Warlock/Rogue

Race: Doppelganger/Changeling

For as long as Niira could remember, she has always grown up under the doctrines of her tribe and a mysterious book that has always been in her possession.

She comes from a doppelganger tribe named Scorpius, and given the title 'The Shaula', meaning the claw or the 'raised tail' of a scorpion. Her tribe objective was to do what any other doppelganger tribe did in this world—seek power of any kind whether that's financial, political, or even magic. They will sought after power and try to claim it as their own and bring their own tribe up to create their own dynasty.

Scorpius sets out an objective to invade the ruling royal family of a nation named Cameron. Their objective is to travel to the capital, also named Cameron, and take the place of the monarch. With the next part of the their plan is to rule the country and slowly take over the world. They were very successful with murdering the entire royal family and stealing their identities. Even their leader, 'The Antares', took on the identity of the King of Cameron and were even successful with their political moves as well as an industrial movement being integrated with the uses of magic, something unseen in this world.

Then one day, the mysterious book wrote a task in it's pages for Niira to seek out her own power. To seek out a hidden and ancient power that was beyond the limits of anything she has ever seen.

Niira wants to see what this power could be, what this could mean and why did this book write this for her. And so she sets out on a journey, the mysterious book gives her even a map of where to go, and so she follows. It takes her 6 months to reach these long forgotten ruins underneath the earth, and finds exactly what she was looking for.

She finds a relic that was left behind in ancient times by a goddess named Vicarra, the goddess of dominance and chaos and a part of the Celestial Pantheon. To gain the favor of the goddess, she has to solve the mystery of the ancient relic she left behind. Niira solves it by removing one of her eyes and replacing it with the relic, causing her to enter a dreamscape with Vicarra. The goddess gives the doppelganger her 'challenge'; win her 'blessing' and she will grant her access to her celestial powers, but lose, and she destroys the body, leaving the relic to be found by someone else to take on Vicarra's challenge.

Niira, of course, takes on this challenge and wins, with Vicarra completely shocked that someone could beat her challenge, especially against her. With her new patron, she grants her celestial powers from her domain and sets her off with plans to use Niira to spread her influence and gain more power herself.

After a year around trip back to Cameron and now new celestial magic under her claws (hehe), she actually comes back to a sight she didn't expect to see. A horrific sight of her entire city surrounded by a giant magical dome and inside the buildings and people are engulfed in flames and ash. The city of Cameron completely destroyed by the city's central volcano that erupted, who knows how long ago, but everything she knew is now, gone. She never got to say goodbye to her tribe, Scorpius, or even come back to let them know she has found a new source of power. Nothing but raining ash and magma.

From then on, Niira was on the road traveling for 10 years, whether in disguise or not depended on where she traveled to and if it allowed it, but most of the time, she stayed disguised as the one of the identities she stole from the Cameron royal family. But for those 10 years up until the events of the campaign, she stayed in close contact with Vicarra who would give her tasks of influencing her power or just to simply boss her around, or she would follow the guidance of what ever the mysterious book says and tells her where to go. And even to this day she still has no recollection of where this book comes from and what is it's importance.

Before the events of the campaign, the mysterious book tells her "Travel to Illcone, a close confidant of the Angel is hiding out within its cocoon. Track him down and uncover what he knows about her next movements."

For the next few days, Niira makes her way to the city of Illcone, to find out exactly why the book sent her there and even find out who this Angel is, someone that's also a person of interest for Vicarra.
