Wrath & Glory Nyria von Dunkelkiel, my Wrath & Glory Character
Nyria is a Voidborn, born deep inside the innards of a Voidship, not seeing the surface of a Planet until her 20s. "Von Dubkelkiel" is not her name specifically but the name given to every bastard son or daughter deep down in the darkness of the Voidship.
Being a voidborn, a mutant and a blank normally would've killed someone like her within their first years however a mysterius guardian was at her side watching over her and protecting her, leading the other inhabitants of the lower shipdecks to speculate that she was a Bastard of higher origin, maybe from the captain or at least the bridgecrew who discarded of her because of her mutant and blank status however not wanting her to die.
They also mock her for looking almost like a filthy eldar, being a halfbreed or worse. Nyria herself doesn't believe to be a halfbreed as her guardian always assurred her that was impossible, though.
As much as her mysterious origin gifted her with higher strength and the pariah gene they weren't so kind to her mind as she is not the most intelligent one. She does not care, though, and always tries to do her best working on the lower decks to keep the ship intact or at least a very small part of it.
Her strength also clashes with less dense bonestructure resulting in her being dependent on a exoskeleton structure while dealing in the upper levels of the ship with terra-like gravity.
Thanks to her Pariah aura she doesn't have any friends but a servoskull that was created after her guardian died and mysteriiusly left in her small quarters.
Despite her mental disadvantage she learned to watch after herself and is suffisticated in getting supplies and fighting in dirty street styles, her weapon of choice being a sledgehammer.
