Personal history

Musical Origins

Octavia grew to love music, and eventually found a man who shares common interest - Edwin Tarrenfell. They got to know each other and fell in love. She played the violin while Edwin sung or played his lute. In a few years she became pregnant and they brought a teddy bear together for the child. The next day however, she was mysteriously killed a while later in an alleyway at the age of 40 (26 Earth years).  

Alone in the Dark

Her soul left her body and roamed until it found a suitable vessel in the Catacombs of Gathuram, on the 21st day of Dexune, 1442 GA. She became a Fallen, and saw only dim blue lights. The ground was littered with bones and puddles of water. Calling out, Octavia hoped to hear another voice, but the catacombs were silent; the only sound she could hear was dripping water falling from the ceiling. Hours passed as she roamed the hushed corridors and rooms. It was all the same, not a soul in sight.   Octavia was overwhelmed with loneliness and desperation. She found a black cloak which she then wore, along with a wooden rod with an ancient skull on the top. Misery was taking over her, she wished for a second death, but she couldn’t kill herself. A week has passed and she was still alone. Desperate for company, she tried to learn Necromancy to create her own friends. It took months before complete success, and she had finally created a skeleton - she finally created a friend.  

Skull Digger

The first skeleton - the first friend - only responded to commands, it had neither emotions nor senses. Despite this, she tried to talk to it like another person, but to no avail. Over months of constructing, she had created a dozen skeletons, but they were all the same. To her surprise, the first skeleton seemed to be weakened greatly. She attempted to heal it, but nothing happened.   The passage of time was incomprehensible to the Fallen, she didn’t expect her first friend to revert so soon. Once again, she became only more desperate - she didn’t want to lose her first friend. The skull baton she found had a small amount of soul still inside it, however, the constant Necromancy had diluted it. When she healed her friend again, a numb pain coursed through her rotten body. The skeleton’s hollow eye sockets lit up with a tiny dot of white light, and a faded light emerged in its ribcage. The skeleton looked at her, Octavia felt the skeleton’s presence for the first time. For the first time in years, a smile appeared on her face. She asked what the skeleton’s name is, it replied with a quiet voice: “Sk… ull… Dig… ger...”  

Mutation

In only a day, she had become addicted to the Forbidden Necromancy. Red eyes started forming on her black cloak, she became frail, many thin arms grew from her body. But her mind was foggy, she felt nothing, the Forbidden Necromancy had taken control. In this time, her first creation - Skull Digger - had become stronger, he was no longer a skeleton, he had flesh, and a mask of bone had formed on his face. More and more, she become addicted to Forbidden Necromancy. Then one day, a sudden wave of extreme pain and agony flowed through her, she shrieked. Her skin burned, pieces of rusted metal emerged on her hands, her body distorted and grew into a monstrosity. When it ended, all she felt was a mixture of pain and power.   In 1491 GA on the 20th day of Pathix, Octavia escaped the Catacombs and mindlessly travelled towards Ricusa, but was stopped by Elgas in a town in Oldcross - Lo Anglon, and killed on the 4th day of Terebery, 1491 GA.
