Description

    Zoe Stormchaser, a Snow Elf raised in the colonies. Growing up an orphan in the slums of Emerald City, she survived on the streets through quick wits, ingenuity, and fast feet. She got by as a self-taught thief, becoming the leader of her own gang of delinquents known as "The Diamonds in the Rough". They lived as vigilantes, scraping by however they could, with whatever jobs or necessities they could take. The gang's reign would be short lived, however, when ERA forces finally cracked down on them, arresting the gang's prominent members while others scattered, cutting all ties with the rogue riders. Zoe was able to escape from their clutches, fleeing the city on her trusty motorcycle, regrettably leaving the ones she called family, and the city she called home, behind.

    She wandered Amara, alone, riding through the roads and wastelands of the countryside, taking on any jobs she could get, no matter how dirty the deed. Eventually, she joined up with a group of bandits, regressing back to her old thieving ways. Her time with them lasted for a few months, until a thunder and lightning storm raged over them during a raid on a local village. The raid went smoothly, until Zoe realized they weren't just killing the men in the village, but the women and children as well! She came to the defense of a mother and her child, opposing her former comrades and her leader's actions! The bandits quickly turned their weapons to her instead...Until a massive lightning bolt struck the center of the village, and standing before the bandits was none other than Terrene's God of Storms, Zephyr! Ignoring his warnings, the bandits attacked the deity, only to be quickly disposed of one at a time, leaving the leader, and his crew, unconscious as ERA rangers quickly came to apprehend the brigands. Zoe, however, was pardoned, thanks to Zephyr's intervention, and left the village as soon as she could, but not without catching the interest of the Stormgod. He would later meet with Zoe again, granting her a proposition that would change her life forever...

    Before she knew it, she was taken in by Zephyr as his disciple! Training under him and learning to control the very storm clouds that roar across the skies of Terrene. For years, the two shared a strong bond as master and apprentice, the young Zoe referring to him as "Master", while Zephyr acted as a father figure to her, teaching her right from wrong, and preventing her from regressing back to her old hoodlum tendencies. Under his guidance, Zoe would learn to forge her own destiny in life, rather than awaiting a destiny to be chosen for her. A lesson that has stuck with her even now. As Zephyr's disciple, she soon went from a lowly mercenary to a renowned adventurer, traveling across Terrene as she continued to strive forward, always looking for that next path toward improvement, bettering herself to protect the people of Terrene, and those who cannot protect themselves.

    She fought alongside a powerful Imperian maiden, [NAME REDACTED BY ORDER OF GODDESS SERAPHIA], known by many as "The Sparrow''.  She traveled with The Sparrow for a long time, the two sharing many grand adventures and fearsome battles. But no battle was greater, or more unforgiving, than The Sparrow's conquest against Terrene's god of Chaos, Azazel. She raised a massive army composed of the land's greatest warriors. Humara, Elze, Valhol, Imperian, Erufa, Harpy, Snow Elf, Ragnari, people of different races from all across the planet rallied to her cause, Including Zoe, and even Zephyr himself! Mortal, god, and beast stood proud against the forces of chaos that rallied in the lands of Imperia. The war against Azazel was fought for years, with thousands of lives lost from both sides each passing day! Finally, the war reached its climax, with Zoe, The Sparrow, Zephyr, and their most trusted comrades confronting Azazel on the battlefield directly. The Chaos god challenged them, taking the lives of The Sparrow's friends right before her eyes. When Zoe herself met with the Chaos God, he was taken aback by her swift movements and acrobatic strikes, leaving him wide open for an attack by Zephyr's hands. The two gods faced one another on even ground, shaking the very foundations of the planet beneath their feet with each swipe of their hand. But before the final blow could be struck by the stormgod, Azazel used an injured Zoe to gain the upper hand against Zephyr, leaving him wide open for a powerful strike by the god of Chaos's hand. Both Zoe and Zephyr lied before Azazel as he cackled in delight at their defeat. At this moment, The Sparrow finally made her stand against the chaos god, bidding Zoe a final farewell and a smile before meeting Azazel in battle, facing him with what little strength she had left, seemingly dying a warrior's death. The war between the people of Terrene and Chaos ended in a standstill, with both sides seemingly leaving the battlefield and returning to their lives.

    Zephyr regained what little strength he had left, rushing to his apprentice's side. Zoe was fatally wounded by the god of Chaos, taking her last breaths as the god of death's judgment would soon be at hand. Zephyr, however, would not allow this to be her fate...With what power remained within, he performed the ritual art of "Soul Coalescence'', fusing his soul with hers so that she would live to fight another day, reincarnating as Terrene's new god of storms. With this final act, he bestowed his godhood onto her. A lightning storm raged over the now abandoned battlefield, and soon after, the fallen Snow Elf would reawaken...Not as Zoe Stormchaser...But as Zephym, Goddess of Storms.

    After one final conversation, and a tearful farewell to the fading spirit of her master, Zephym understood her new destiny, and vowed to continue Zephyr's legacy of protecting the people of Terrene, and inspiring others to forge their own destiny in the world. She would later be formally inducted into the pantheon of gods by Seraphia, taking the place of the former God of Storms and continuing to maintain the balance of the planet. However, Zephym did not trust Seraphia, she never did, so rather than working alongside her in the Alliance of Order, she walked her own path, protecting the planet on her own terms rather than blindly following the directives given to her by the esteemed Goddess of Order. In time, she would grow into her role, learning to fully harness the Storms that rage across the land and use it to her advantage in battle! Many revered her as their "Divine Hero", their defender from the forces that threaten Terrene's peace. Others loyal to Seraphia viewed her as a traitor to the gods for defying Seraphia's word. Zephym, however, does not allow such labels to slow her down. She will continue to hold her Master's ideals of forging your own path in life, taking hold of your destiny and making it your own rather than letting someone else lay out the path for you. Ideals that would be followed by her disciples for many generations to come.
