Biography

Environment

Amber grew up in "The Green Carve" a valley and the largest settlement in Tempest Ridge (in the far west). The region is well known to be very unhospitable because of it's violent weather, savage beasts, malicious politics, and according to outsiders: it's people. Amber was a member of the native Tempuri race, a small group descendent from demons and imbued with magic, they share many goat-like features and ability to harness certain powers over nature.

Upbringing

Amber was born to Salvo and Aercus on a autumn thunderstorm. She was named after her deceased aunt who was a scientist and the former leader of the Social Districts under Union; a now dissolved government. The Green Carve was still recovering from the collapse of the union and Amber was thrown into a lot of political discourse and economic instability as she grew up. The culture shifted back to their more archaic roots, which was a very unforgiving and ruthless viewpoint of life, it would ask the Tempuri to push themselves as far as they could, and if they were weak? They are worthless and to be shunned. As Amber grew up in this environment she would prove to be quite successful, and get a sour outlook on those who couldn't compete, and a subtle dislike of jealousy to people that were better than her. One day she found some memorabilia of her aunt and would study her notes, learning about her projects and point of view. The original Amber was the first Tempuri to harness magic to alter souls, she wanted to "bring a new understanding of mortality" to the region. Although the Amber we all know and love today didn't agree with her aunts motives, she did seem very interested in her notes and other inventions.
