Lore

Background

Nyx slipped past three rift lockdowns before The Hunt gave up chasing the kid and signed them instead. Now the youngest breaker on any roster: too quick to catch, too vicious to ignore. Nyx has no family on file, no address, no home. They don't trust The Hunt enough to sleep at their guild house. But every time there's a fight, the kid is always already there.

Motivation

Nyx doesn't follow guilds but people worth trusting - and hasn't found one yet. Be the first, and the kid stops being a stray.
