History Praxis hails from the great agricultural ziggurat-city of Chtolnkin, where she was born into the Ahkus caste, that of highly-esteemed priests. It is easy to say that Praxis was, for most of her life, babied and given the sweet life, as her family sat upon quite a large amount of gold, being one of the main head folk of Chtolnkin. The flightless establishment was strong and even the great Stargazers stated that Chtolnkin and the Kantun family was favored by Kluex, and as such Praxis believed it. She ate up the great lie that is Kluex for fifteen years, becoming somewhat of a spoiled brat, but at least one with values instilled to her by the flightless religion. The current state of reality being as it is, this would not stand for very long, and even the pampered Avian would soon have the veil before her eyes be removed, as a grounded revolt within Chtolnkin saw to it that a member of each of the priestly families would be kidnapped and held for the ransom price of freedom from the Avosi state. Praxis, naturally, was the easiest to capture seeing as she was a part of the first generation of Ahkus-casted Avians to not participate in mortal combat over the span of their lifetime, and was subsequently captured. She waited long and hard for her rescue within the grounded base but, alas, nobody came to her aid. Little did Praxis know that, in a fire caused by one of the grounded terrorists, the city of Chtolnkin was transformed from a pyramid of prosperity due to its crops into a starving huddle of individuals who had all but fled from the city for greener pastures. Not only had Praxis been abandoned by her own family but she frankly had nothing to return to. Being a prisoner for three months with the greatest enemy of the Avosi people taught Praxis more than she could ever hope to forget, it seemed. She studied the routines of the grounded and their philosophies and means of combat, which she soon picked up. Her heart panged with guilt for the atrocities done by the Stargazers and, by extension her very own people. Additionally, her heart panged with pain as it had developed an irregularly slow pace, and the grounded, now seeing Praxis as more of a friend than a prisoner, set out to find a Relic that their spies had heard about, said to treat all matters of the heart. The Relic was, and is, a pacemaker embedded into the chest its bearer, powered indefinitely by a recharging power crystal as its battery. The crystal’s ability to easily recharge, however, was seen as the real miracle and a bizarre chimera of Apex and Avian technology, when in fact it is simply just a normal recharging battery with a smooth crystal shell. The Relic was stolen by the grounded from an undisclosed temple by the grounded and saved Praxis’s life, despite the Relic being basically inferior to any other way to fix the heart. Now recognized by the grounded people as the Relicbearer, an avian who should very well be dead walking, Praxis heads into the Fringe searching for a new land to call home, which just so happens to be Haven.
