Character Background

Born on Rifts Earth before the destruction of Tolkeen, in PA 91, Quenya Telerin's early years were happy and stable. Identifying more with the female gender, Quenya was kept secret from the world for about the first ten years of her life. The only interaction she had was with her parents and her three other siblings; usually appearing as her 'brothers'.

As a young d-bee, she learned to assume the shape of the most common species, humans, and how to pass for one. Her 'father' worked as a teacher, a dangerous profession in some areas, particularly the CS. Her 'mother' was a minor psychic and clairvoyant, giving readings for money or food.

Quenya's family moved to the Chi Town ''burbs at the request of a group sponsoring (illegally) education for the poor. After a few years, Quenya's 'father' became very ill and, lacking facilities in the ''Burbs, left with a caravan to make the trek to Lazlo. He was never heard from again. This loss put Quenya's family into a desperate situation, as he was the main source of income. Quenya's 'mother' tried everything she could to keep the family together, but after a bad investment with the Black Market, was permanently indebted to them.

Quenya had a summer long affair with a wealthy CS merchant but it didn't last, and if she were honest with herself, it had only started because she enjoyed the pampering. Soon after, her 'mother' was killed in a mugging and Quenya was on her own, her three 'brothers' scattering one by one. Quenya took to begging and eventually stealing, purse snatching and prostitution as her situation worsened. She traveled from the ''Burbs to the city of Tolkeen, changing her appearance several times along the way.

There, Quenya foolishly tried to steal from a knight in demonic armor who she had seen armed with a fancy-looking weaponry. He caught her and was about to kill her when he stopped. He told her his name was Lord Amroth Dasule Venethrax and he had had a vision of his squire-to-be attempting to slip away with the loot from his most recent kill. Quenya would be his squire. It was not optional. Terrified, Quenya agreed.

She found that he already had two others under his tutelage, and they were already able to control magic to some degree. Quenya had to train hard just to get to their level, for Venethrax expected her to quickly catch up. He threatened her that if she failed, he would leave her in the heart of Xiticix territory, where she would likely be torn apart within moments. The thought of such a gruesome death horrified her and Quenya worked hard, often fighting the other squires, Kazog (an orc) and Caranthir (an elf). They trained for five hours a day, every day, minimum. The rest of the time was spent learning the tenants of the Order and spent in meditation. Somehow, Quenya had the stamina to stick with it. Combat training was intense, usually full contact, and often uneven odds; two versus one.

Venethrax's methods were harsh, though they apparently borrowed heavily from a heavily worn book Quenya had seen her tutor reading called "A'Hi'tory of S'arta". Venethrax regularly beat his three students to see who was toughest, starved them so they needed to steal food, made them sleep outside, amongst other hardships.

Finally, Venethrax, perhaps sensing the impending siege on Tolkeen, moved his squires towards the magic zone. Kazog, Caranthir and Quenya had grown close, almost like siblings. They knew each other's limits, personalities and quirks. Or so they thought.

One night, nearing the end of their training, Venethrax bade his students to kill each other. The survivor would become a full Knight. While Kazog and Caranthir hesitated, Quenya drew her weapons and ran them both through. She long knew that hesitation would mean certain death, and though they were friends, it was better them dead than she. She would live, she would fight and avoid wondering 'what if?'.

Venethrax congratulated her, and told Quenya to meditate on her place in the world. He took her to a large, dark, dank cave and left, telling Quenya that he would return in three days. After those 72 hours had passed, Quenya woke out of her meditation to find a triple circle of Mystic Knights around her. Venethrax told her to kneel. He brought forth her new armor and weapons. He told her that she would accompany him on her first mission; to assassinate a mid-ranked Black Market fence who had betrayed a cyber-snatcher gang, the Nightfiends. It would be a mission to send a message.

Quenya was granted the name Lady Quenya Telerin Venethrax, allowed to take the name of her tutor as a sign of respect. To this Company of Mystic Knights, it was a great honor, although Quenya downplayed it.

She accompanied the elder knight on his mission, successfully posing as his captive and then getting "purchased" by her target's bodyguard. When their guard was down, she quietly eliminated the guard, let her Lord into the compound and the two slew the remaining occupants, leaving the actual target for last. Venethrax enjoyed torturing him for hours, finally putting him out of his misery by eviscerating him. Quenya was just glad the job was over.

Venethrax then ordered his pupil to make her way, and to fulfill the Order of the Mystic Knights. They wanted information. The more information, the better. This she did, by taking on mercenary work. She returned time and again to MercTown, as it seemed like a natural place to find work. At MercTown, Quenya has set up several different identities, in order to keep a means of escape. A convincing liar, she maintains the alter egos of Laura Peters (a human beggar girl), Luke Baxter (a struggling human short order cook), Thrag (an orc, looks a lot like her friend Kazog), Felineil (an elf that looks like Caranthir), Jenny Warrens (a bookish human English teacher), and Meeza Bloodspiller (a female Simvan).

Publicly, Quenya tries to project a manner of an educated English lady. Privately, however, she is crude and brazen, Quenya has no qualms with randomly saying and doing whatever's on her mind no matter how outrageously cruel, depraved or devious. Quenya is devious and crafty, regularly misleading and finagling others to achieve her desired ends. Her desired ends are often ridiculously trivial or marked by schadenfreude.
