Name: Sierra Romanov
aka ‘Sierra Smith’
aka ‘Vortex’
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Unknown – Possibly Argos
Current Home: Sovereign
Personality: Sierra has a dark personality, which given her profession is not surprising. She is the kind of person who doesn’t take shit from anyone and prefers to do things her own way. Whilst she might appear cold she does have some morals, and if you’re one of the few people that manages to befriend her you will even see that she does have a
slightly playful demeanour. Since the event she has grown somewhat more reserved and serious.
Bio: Next to nothing is known about her history and even information brokers like Vates have struggled to find anything out. She has been active in Sovereign for at least 8 years as an assassin going by the alias ‘Sierra Smith’ and has taken contracts from the military as well as criminal organisations. Whilst those who look into the name ‘Sierra Romanov’ will likely fail to find any information, the name ‘Romanov’ perhaps suggests she belongs to the influential Romanov family in Argos.
Before the event Sierra was taking contracts mainly from the military and developed a rapport with them. At the time of the event she was trying to assassinate a gangster by the name of Mathias Winters, but due to the cataclysm messed up the shot and failed to kill her target. In the chaos that ensued she managed to find shelter with the military and as time went on she continued to work with them, eventually joining their squad of hosts under the codename ‘Vortex’.
However recently she has gone AWOL for multiple reasons: firstly she was discontent with the fact that orders to take out civilians was becoming more and more common; secondly she did not really get along with any of her squad (to put it mildly); and thirdly, as a result of her voicing her concerns and some acts of insubordination she feared that they planned to kill her off. Since going AWOL she has been stalking the city looking for answers and worthy causes. She has also been keeping an eye out for the military hunters, wanting very much to slit each of their throats.
Appearance: Sierra looks like this without piercings. She stands around 5ft9 and has an athletic but curved physique (her muscles are tight rather than big or defined). She wears sleek black military grade armour,
a strange jet black helmet and an customized lightweight extendable glider.
Special Traits/Weapons:Sierra is a trained marksman and is more than an excellent shot. As an assassin she has also trained herself to be proficient at free-running and stealth. She has always been more than capable at hand-to-hand, mixing a couple of different martial arts. Whilst she never liked to get up close before, since the event she has trained with the military and now is quite good at fighting with sabre claws.
Her pride and joy is her sniper rifle. It uses a plasma core, and utilizes a core heat sink allowing her to fire more frequently. It also has a variable scope and a carbon fibre frame and bipod.
She has also has a pair of sabre claw blades with empty core slots; they originally contained fire cores but she found that they simply cauterized the small cuts the blade made.

Kage Name: Nyx
Kage Primary Power: Nyx and her host have the ability to create vortexes that drag almost anything in (including the host). It’s not known what happens to things that are sucked in, but you can be pretty certain that any living thing that is sucked in will die. This ability not only takes a lot of power to use, but also a fair amount of power to control and stop; as a result Sierra will only use her ability in times of dire need.
Kage Secondary Power: None. Although it’s worth noting that the victims of the vortexes are practically consumed by Nyx (just like any kage can absorb power from killing another).
Kage Personality/Description: Nyx is one of the few kages that remains mostly silent. She has only spoken on two occasions: when she first possessed Sierra, at which point she revealed her name; and when she first used her power, advising Sierra to be careful and helped her to control it. As a result Sierra has no idea whether she is a host or conduit, and has no idea what motives Nyx might have.
