Nikki Ryland
Nikki Ryland (a.k.a. Nix)
Nikki Ryland was born to Aeton Ryland and Omnique Ryland (nee Fost) 68 years after the restoration of Earth began. Her parents, both being high ranking officials within the Global Union, were often away from home and Nikki spent a lot of time in the compound daycare. When Nikki was six her parents conceived her younger sister, Kora. From the moment Kora was born, Nikki was always by her side. When Nikki turned thirteen and was old enough to stay home while her parents were away at work she opted to keep Kora home with her and watch after her herself.
While in school, Nikki met Amara Hardwick whose family had come from the Western European Division. The two bonded over hard working parents and the struggles of having younger siblings, becoming fast friends. Kora had been jealous at first, wanting to keep Nikki all to herself, but Amara was kind and Kora soon found herself thinking of Amara as a friend instead of an enemy.
At age seventeen, Nikki’s parents told her she would soon have to being looking for employment, and they told her that if she worked hard at school and finished with honors, they could even get her a position within the Union itself. In attempts to bribe Nikki to work hard, they would tell her about things happening at their work, giving her whatever tidbits they could without fear of getting in trouble. Sometimes, however, they went a little too far and gave Nikki just a bit too much.
Nikki was a smart girl. She knew that the intent of the Global Union was to preserve humanity and all of Earth’s inhabitants by repositioning Earth back in what was known as the ‘Goldilocks Zone’, named after an old children’s tale, she knew that much from school and the daily news. Some of the information her parent’s were giving her though, just didn’t seem to fit with the mission of the Union.
It wasn’t until Nikki was 18 that something finally went wrong. Nearly a week after her birthday, her father simply stopped coming home. All her life her parents had come home every night just in time for the whole family to eat dinner together. One night her mother came home alone, and instead of joining Nikki and Kora in the kitchen, she went straight to her bedroom and shut the door. In the morning she went back to work, though to Nikki she seemed subdued, and from then on she refused to talk about what had happened or where their father had gone. Nikki decided that if her mother wouldn’t give her the answers, she would just have to find them out herself, even if it meant breaking some rules along the way.
