Kaida "Flare" Rhyne

Name: Kaida Rhyne
Alias: "Flare"

Kaida Rhyne was born in the golden age of Luminara, a thriving civilization where magic and technology coexisted harmoniously. She was part of a lineage of firebinders, individuals who could wield fire-infused magic through mastery of intricate rules. Her family guarded an ancient artifact known as the Ember Chronos, a relic capable of manipulating time by channeling fire's destructive and regenerative properties. For centuries, the Rhyne bloodline served as its protectors, ensuring its power was never abused.

When Luminara fell to ruin during a catastrophic event, Kaida made the ultimate choice: she used the Ember Chronos to fracture time itself, sending herself forward to a future where she hoped to find answers about her civilization's demise. The process branded her with glowing ember-like marks across her skin, tying her life force to the flames of time. However, her magic is bound by strict rules—she can manipulate time for short bursts, but overuse burns her physically and mentally, leaving her scarred and weakened. Worse, the fractured timeline pulls at her existence, threatening to erase her if she lingers too long in any era.

In the present day, Kaida emerges in Nivra, where the ruins of Luminara are a battleground for control. Seeing echoes of her world’s destruction in the strife between Celis and Ashen, she becomes a reluctant wanderer, seeking allies who can help her uncover the truth about Luminara’s fall and stop history from repeating itself. As "Flare," her fiery magic and temporal abilities make her a powerful yet unpredictable force, straddling the line between savior and a potential harbinger of chaos.
