[Cooptastic]

Nica was born to parents Rasvorgim and Sasruh Vossk. Her father Rasvorgim, an Arcanist of the Arcanist Guild of Vasltiir was a powerful necromancer. Her mother Sasruh had no interest in pursuing the Arcane and served mostly to take care of their children. Rasvorgim began training and molding Nica in the arcane arts from a young age. Even though she was young, he would constantly push her beyond her limits. If she failed to meet his expectations, she was beaten mercilessly "Worthless worm! You're just as useless as your bitch of a mother" Rasvorgim would say.

The physical and mental abuse continued into her teenage years. In her teenage years, she began to grow into a gorgeous young woman.  Her mother would always remind her that even though he is cruel, her father meant well. He was just misunderstood, she would kiss Nica on the forehead before she left for training every morning and say "Stay strong.. you have a promising future ahead of you my little flower."

Despite her continual abuse, she was progressing rather well and showing promise as a future Arcanist. At the age of 17, her father demanded that she aid him in a dark ritual to bolster his power futher. He tasked her with holding down a child so that Rasvorgim could slit its throat, which would summon a dark entity. Nica thought to herself "Kill a child? I cannot allow a child to be killed" She sobbed to herself silently as she nodded, showing that she would help him. Just hours before the ritual, Nica snuck into the room where the child was being held.

"I'm here to help you... This isn't right" She said as she began to dispell the magic bindings holding the child. She removed a small wand from her belt. "Here.. as soon as I tap you with this.. run.. run as fast and as far away from here as you can" She leaned in and kissed the young boy on his forehead, and tapped him with her wand. The child began to fade from sight, she had turned him invisible.

Rasvorgim knew that his daughter had set the child free. She was the only one who he had entrusted the location of the child with. "My own daughter, who I have spent my valuable time training and molding into an Arcanist... betrayed me? The powerful Rasvorgim?" He shouted with anger as kicked various objects around the room. Rasvorgim thought long and hard about how to deal with the betrayal of his daughter. He knew that Nica had a close relationship with her mother and how she resented him. He found Nica and told her that the child had escaped. "My bindings must have faded and the child ran away, most unfortunate... We'll conduct a different ritual within the week.. be ready."

Rasvorgim hid the details of this ritual from Nica until she walked into his laboratory and saw her mother bound and gagged on a sacrificial altar. "Mother!" She cried out as she ran towards her mother, crying and assuring her that she would help her. As she ran, she was struck in the back by a powerful blast of negative energy. "Foolish child.." Rasvorgim could be heard whispering in her ear as she faded out of consciousness. She awoke, bound and gagged in a chair facing her mother with her father, Rasvorgim, standing above her. "You've brought this upon yourself... your mother will pay for your treachery... I can't believe MY child would be so foolish." He said with a crooked smile. Nica began to shake her head and scream, but no sound could escape from her mouth. Rasvorgim conjured a powerful death magic spell and directed it at her mother, laughing as her life slowly ebbed away.

"Now... one last lesson. I'll show you how to gather valuable materials for conjuring undead minions..." He began to cackle as he pulled out an obsidian blade. Rasvorgim then slowly removed her mothers arms, legs, and head, forcing Nica to watch.  After he was finished, he smeared her mother's blood across her face. "You'll never be as powerful as I am child... You're a failure and disgrace to the mighty Vossk name. Even if you took the test to enter the Arcanist Guild, you'd surely fail. You'll never amount to anything more than a cantrip slinger." He then cut her free and left without another word. Rasvorgim vanished that day without telling anyone where he was going.

Nica clutched onto the corpse of her lifeless mother and vowed that she would kill her father and make him pay for what he had done that day. She promised her mother that she would join the Arcanist Guild of Valstiir and surpass her father in power to avenge her death. Nica was left with a large burn like scar on the center of her back. She keeps it covered, but looks at it every night before going to bed to remind her of her goal. She aims to surpass her father, no matter the cost.

Nica WILL kill Rasvorgim.
