Tera Stryker

History

• Biography

  Tera was born to a Fist of Rhalgr and a priestess in Ala Mhigo. At the age of six, she began her training under her father, but only two years later did the Garlean Empire invade. She was the only one of her family to escape, being taken in by a merchant family of Ul'dah.
  Over the years, she was forced to fight in the coliseum in order to 'pay back' the family that took her in, using her natural strength and talents as well as her training to make profit for the family. Eventually, she was able to finish paying off her debt due to a very generous fan of hers and severed all ties with the merchant family.
  Not long after she earned her freedom, she took on an apprentice, teaching him the ways of the Monks of Ala Mhigo thanks to some of her father's old scrolls. Sadly, they would never continue their training as Tera was soon captured while trying to sneak back into Ala Mhigo to look for some heirlooms she left behind.
  After being tortured for three months and losing both her right leg and left arm, the rebellion growing within Gyr Abania staged a prison break and Tera was granted the opportunity to escape, with some help. Escaping aboard Magitech Armor, Tera made it as far as Southern Thanalan and the Sands of Sagolii, where her friend Lucius found her and helped nurse her back to health, even crafting two magitech limbs to replace the ones she lost.
  In her depressed state, she ended up having a falling-out with Lucius, earning her being kicked out of his home. Now, she wanders about looking for work and a new home.
