Shyre
Secundae Casino Owner
Race: Secundae
Sex: Female
Age: Appears to be in early 20′s
Height: 5’9″ (1.75m)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Appearance:
Shyre has a deceptively young appearance. Her appearance almost gives her a look of naivety and innocence. Despite that, she always dresses in very business-like or high-class attire. She has a variety of outfits she wears, depending on the circumstances, but one thing that never changes is her necklace.
Powers:
Her innate power is one of foresight. She can see the numerous threads and forces that move through the universe. From the strands of fate to the strands of time. The forces of wishes and the manipulations of the Universal Energies. All these are clearly visible to her. While she can’t see the future, she can see what the immediate result of an outcome will be, which helps her avoid many dangerous or life-threatening situations. In addition, she is immune to changes within any of these elements preventing her from being affected by changes in time, wishes, fate, or other similar effects.
Personality:
Shyre is a mysterious woman that uses her powers and appearance to her advantage. She will play the part of the naive innocent woman when it suits her purposes to do so. She often appears kind and softhearted, but everything she does has some purpose behind it. Those close enough to her know that she is very crafty and intelligent. She isn’t above using people for her own purposes, although that isn’t something she does often.
Despite the fact that she is the owner of Lady Luck Casino on Targis, she tends to be a fairly solitary woman. She enjoys watching people come to her casino, but rarely will make herself known to them. Often times, she will make sure that they don’t remember her if she does meet them. Only a precious few are fortunate enough to keep their memories of her.
Items:
SHYRE Necklace and Pendant – Shyre has had this silver necklace as long as she can remember, and she never takes it off. Not that she could take it off, even if she wanted to. The necklace has no clasp in the back, and is very short, encircling her neck with only about an inch of extra space. This necklace is one of the Khronas Relics and it gives her the ability to make people forget small details. When combined with the power of the broken Solus Talisman, she can make a person forget sections of their lives, or just select things, such as meeting her or coming to the casino.
Damaged Solus Talisman – Given to Shyre by Berlix from the future to keep safe. Like her necklace, it has the power to make people forget things. It also has the power to help people remember things that are forgotten. Since it is damaged, though, its power is diminished greatly. Only recent memories can be forgotten, and only naturally forgotten memories (not a result of damage, magic or other power) has a chance of being remembered. When combined with the SHYRE pendant, its power to make people forget becomes augmented, while the power to make people remember disappears.
Lady Luck Casino:
Shyre built Lady Luck Casino soon after she was entrusted with the safekeeping of the Solus Talisman. The casino was built by Qwaring, the God of Gadgets, and its design kept it invisible to sight, magic and most technology. The exception being a special device given to invited guests that allow them to see and locate the casino.
The Casino is Shyre’s pride and joy, and she invites the wealthiest and most influential people to enjoy her games and other amusements. It is a neutral area for all invited guests. If any are caught violating the neutrality or cheating, they are banished, with their memories erased by Shyre.
Background:
Shyre doesn’t know her history before waking up in a back alley on Targis. Even though she can see the strands of time, everything prior to waking up that day is a complete blank. Not even the damaged Solus Talisman could help recover the lost memories. When Shyre woke up in the alleyway, she was wearing nothing except the SHYRE necklace. Since she didn’t know what her name was, she took those letters to be her name, and has been known as Shyre ever since.
Shyre soon began to understand and use her powers and differentiate those powers from the powers of her necklace. She didn’t know why she had those powers, but never took them for granted, for they aided in her survival on the hostile and chaotic world of Targis.
Some time later, she was met by a woman known as Berlix. Berlix had given her the Solus Talisman to keep safe. Gaining the talisman increased the necklace’s to make people forget, which became quite beneficial in keeping the Talisman safe.
Through Berlix, Shyre was introduced to an incredible inventor known as Qwaring. He helped build the Lady Luck Casino, which included the technology to keep the casino hidden. In return for his assistance, he told Shyre that one day he would call on her for repayment in the future. So far he has not called for the repayment.
Shyre now works and lives within the casino. She rarely leaves, having everything she needs here. Sometimes she will leave to send out personal invites to her casino. Lady Luck Casino is pretty much Shyre’s life now, and she would have it no other way.
