Lyric
Lyric is a Gearforged member of the Adamantine Wayfinders. She is originally from Axiom. She was awoken in the same expedition that Cadence was awoken in. As such, the two have considered themselves to be sisters.
Lyric is a rare variant of Gearforged, born with a connection to the city of Novus unlike most other Gearforged. Her body is coursing with refined Ether, much like the city itself. This gives Lyric latent magical gifts and a profound sense of connection to the city’s magical and mechanical inner workings.
As Cadence ascended the ranks of the Axiom Rangers, she encouraged Lyric to cultivate her gifts and use them to explore the Mekanos Infinitum with her. However, Lyric did not share her sister’s drive and desire for danger in the churning vaults of the city. Though she felt a connection to Novus, Lyric was scared to explore this connection.
While Cadence is a practical and grounded sort, Lyric is a free spirit, prone to whimsy and artistic endeavors. Lyric’s voice is capable of producing sounds, harmonies, and rhythms that no organic voice can. She sought fill the world with song by seeking the various stages of the Lamplight District, but quickly found opposition due to discrimination against Gearforged.
Down and out on her luck, Lyric began to hear an odd song, the soothing a dulcet voice of the Whisperwind, Naltyr herself, calling her to some other purpose beyond Novus. Lyric enlisted in the Wayfinders to grow nearer to the strange goddess of nature. While life in the Wayfinders in difficult and dangerous, Lyric keeps positive and shares her infectious optimism with her fellow rangers.
Relationships
History
Cadence and Lyric were both reactivated in the same expedition to the Mekanos infinitum. Though the circumstance of their reactivation were perilous, the two held close to each other, even calling themselves sisters.
The relationship was strained when Cadence began to pressure Lyric into using her gifts to help her explore and understand the Mekanos Infinitum. Lyric was always afraid of these depths, while Cadence was drawn towards understanding them. Cadence resented Lyric's latent gifts and her apparent squandering of them on artistic pursuits.
As Lyric is now and Adamantine Wayfinder, the two have not spoken in some time.
