Void Girl - Agatha
ZipZap! Void and back again! What did I miss? Wow, I didn't know THAT would burn so well.
... and then I said, I'm just not that in to you - do you get it? IN TO YOU? Like the voices in my head? - I think we're hilarious here!
I am one with the void. Just kidding! More like three or four.
Background
Her parents had suffered three stillbirths and wished for nothing more than a healthy child. As her mother got pregnant with Agatha, she went to a fortune teller who told her, that she would only ever have one healthy child. All others shall belong to death. As Agatha was born, she did not breath and her heart did not beat. Desperate, her father appealed to the heavens and all the hells to finally give them the child they had hoped for for so long - after a while, a calm voice responded. "I shall grant your wish and let your daughter breath. But know this, if she breaths, she will be as much my child as she is yours and the doors that I open can never be closed. Do you accept this?". In despair, both parents agreed and not a second later their daughter was screaming, her heart beating and her pale skin turned rose. Soon afterwards, to the surprise of both parents, her mother gave birth to a second daughter, alive and breathing as well - alas, they had two healthy daughters! As they knew that the gods would not grant them this joy for long, they decided to let go of the cursed child and they left Agatha in the woods, where she would surely die, fulfilling the fortune told and granting them to have at least one child. But Agatha did not die.
(Secret background story, probably not for the game itself: The void is not one thing, but consists of a plethora of worlds, a mixture of demons, creatures and the souls of the deceased. Her father of the void is a god of death, not violent, not cruel, but only the law of nature, that all living things must die. In this sense, the fortune teller was right, and Agatha also belongs to death, though very different as her siblings. The voices she hears in her head are a mixture: one childish voice could be that of a deceased sibling, a warning and caring voice could be her father, an angry and chaotic voice could be a demon who snuck in.)
Background for different specs
- Tank: Death itself tells her how to stay alive.
- Healer: Maybe from her background of living in the woods? Training with herbs and potions?
- Damage dealer: Let the chaos of the void take over! Her sibling and the demon take control of Agatha and let her rip open a passage to the void.
