=History=

Early Life
Opal, (formerly Acanthus), was born 17th October, 706 to Ajax Dubois and Calliope Monet in Ephros. Her twin brother, Jacek was born slightly afterwards. After they were born, their father left, leaving Calliope to look after the two children. They soon proved themselves to be intelligent and bright, excelling in almost everything that they did, however, Jacek always seemed to outshine Acanthus, and she quickly found herself living in his shadow

The Overseers
At age 18, Jacek joined the local police force known as the Overseers. Acanthus saw this as an opportunity to outshine him, and quickly followed suit. Acanthus quickly became one of the best marksmen on the force, earning the nickname “Eagle-Eyes” for her oftentimes pinpoint accuracy. However, Acanthus was starting to get suspicious of the Overseers movements.

Promotion
The overseers assigned a case to Acanthus and Jacek; explaining that whoever succeeded first would get a promotion. The chief explained that they were to investigate a group which were supposedly ‘stealing memories’. Acanthus became highly competitive, forcing a wedge between their relationship. Culminating in Jacek firing her for ‘unprofessionalism’.

The Guild of Lethe
Acanthus became fixated on solving the mystery, ignoring her personal life and her love interest; Sianna. She found her way to a temple outside of town, and noticed Jacek there, they started to argue, which was soon disrupted by cloaked figures sneaking from the temple and putting a sword to their backs. They were taken inside the temple where a hooded figure sat on a seat, surrounded by a ring of water. After questioning, he explains that people come to the temple to forget, and that they are peaceful. However he will not forgive them for hunting their guild. They are drowned in the waters, where Acanthus severs her connection to her focus, and sends out a shockwave of energy which ruins the temple.

A New Beginning
She woke up in Tastadin, a hidden city which resides in the middle of a desert with no memory of her past life. Renaming herself to 'Opal', she quickly grew disinterested in her past, and chose to grow her skills in marksmanship instead. She quickly picked up engineering and within a few months at Tastadin, developed her own gun, which became enchanted with a number of runes. She also developed a prostetic arm for her brother, Ada (formerly Jacek). She spent her time there training and learning how to control her new powers which threatened to overtake her. Within the third year, Ada decided to move to find answers about their past. Opal quickly followed as they left the comfortable city behind to move to Ephros.
