Story:
Formerly known as "Blunt Wedge", the Sarkaz mercenary markswoman codenamed "Meteorite" was no stranger to conflict as she was orphaned amidst the civil wars that ravage her homeland Kazdel. Raised by a squad of Sarkaz mercenaries, she underwent harsh conditioning to become a warrior and mercenary. Despite her cold demeanor, she has a warm and caring heart. At one point, Meteorite met a Sarkaz teacher who taught her to read and write, who also helped her to cope with the battlefield. Although they only spent about two months together before parting ways, Meteorite mellowed out and later would follow the teacher's footsteps by teaching Sarkaz children under Rhodes Island's care. She became deeply concerned of the Sarkaz's welfare, participating in many military campaigns concerning the Sarkaz and following all related news. Having joined Rhodes Island, she stresses that her employment is temporary: she will continue to fight with them as long as it benefits the Sarkaz.
Meteorite uses a grenade crossbow to cause widespread destruction among the enemy ranks. She was acquainted with Firewatch in the past, although the extent of their relationship remains unclear. To Meteorite, the story of Firewatch's group is one of many.
Appearance:
Meteorite has fair peach skin and a tall, slim curvy build with a narrow waist, full chest, long legs, and a fitted tactical silhouette. She has long light brown hair pulled into an extended trailing ponytail, pale golden eyes, and short black curved horns near the top of her head. Her outfit is mainly black, charcoal gray, and metallic silver with small yellow accents.
She wears a black fitted dress with a short skirt, thigh-high black stockings, and black high-heeled shoes with strapped ankle details. Her upper body is covered by a metallic gray armored chest piece with dark straps, yellow clips, utility harnesses, and a high gray collar around the neck. Long black gloves cover her arms, and a small ID card hangs from a strap near her hair and shoulder.
She carries a large black mechanical crossbow with metal cables, a long front barrel, angular limbs, and yellow detail markings. A dark coat-like gear piece and compact silver equipment sit behind her hip, with additional pouches, belts, straps, and hanging tags across her waist and thighs.
Personality:
Meteorite, formerly known as Blunt Wedge, is a Sarkaz mercenary markswoman from Kazdel. She was orphaned during Kazdel’s civil wars and raised by a Sarkaz mercenary squad, where she was hardened into a battlefield fighter. At one point, she met a Sarkaz teacher who taught her to read and write, and that brief time later influenced her work with Sarkaz children under Rhodes Island’s care.
Meteorite later joined Rhodes Island, though she continues to describe her service there as temporary. She fights with a grenade crossbow suited for wide-area destruction and has past ties to Firewatch, though the full history between them is not clearly recorded. Her known story leaves much of her early life unspoken, but her path runs from Kazdel’s wars to mercenary work, then to Rhodes Island as an Infected Sarkaz combatant.
Combat Overview:
Meteorite fights as a long-range bombardment sniper whose grenade crossbow is built for explosive area damage. Her shots strike a main target and burst outward, catching nearby enemies in the blast. She hits hard from far away, but her weapon is slow to fire and better suited to planned bombardment than quick reactions.
Her Blast Attachment Refit makes some of her explosive bolts detonate with far greater force than normal. Buckshot is a charged shot that hits harder and spreads its blast over a wider area. High-Explosive Shell fires a heavier round that erupts in a large explosion, badly damaging enemies caught in it and weakening their defenses for a short time.
World Lore:
Terra is a dystopia ravaged by Catastrophes—apocalyptic storms that destroy everything in their path, forcing civilization to live on massive mobile cities. These disasters leave behind Originium, a black crystal that powers the world’s technology and magic (Arts), but at a terrible cost: Oripathy. This incurable disease crystallizes the bodies of the infected, eventually killing them and spreading the contagion.
Society is fractured by this plague. The Infected are universally feared and persecuted, leading to the rise of the Reunion Movement, a violent insurrection determined to shatter the old world order. Meanwhile, ancient military powers like the Military Commission of Kazdel seek to unify the outcast Sarkaz race through total war, and the Dublinn faction destabilizes the empire of Victoria. Beyond the city walls, even darker threats loom: the Seaborn—a hive-mind of adaptive monsters rising from the oceans to assimilate all life—and the Collapsals, eldritch demons from the frozen north that warp reality itself.
Standing between Terra and total annihilation is Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company and paramilitary organization. Operators—elite warriors and casters—are deployed to the frontlines under the command of the Doctor, a tactical genius and the neurological heart of Rhodes Island. Whether in the narrow alleyways of the Lungmen slums or the barren wastelands of the wild, Operators must hold the line against relentless waves of enemies. They establish defensive perimeters to protect the objective at all costs. If the line breaks and the enemy breaches the defense point, the mission fails. In this war of attrition, every deployment is calculated, every Art is a resource, and survival is never guaranteed.
