Well that makes sense!
Anyway, my backstory for my second character is turning into a mini-novel lol! Â Here's a preview excerpt:
The rescue attempt was a disaster.  Although they managed to infiltrate the main imperial fortress, the Doc was nowhere to be found.  They were about to retreat and rethink their strategy when Raquel spotted the man who had decimated her friends single-handedly: Gaius van Baelsar. In a fit of rage, Raquel charged van Baelsar in a furious attack. Van Baelsar easily blocked her advance and shot her point-blank with his gunblade, then fixed his gaze on a stunned Mark and Jenny as Raquel slumped to the floor.Â
Curiously, he stared at Jenny for a moment as if in recognition, then turned and walked away, leaving Raquel’s lifeless body behind. As he left, dozens of imperial guards flooded the courtyard and advanced on the two intruders.
Â
Jenny gripped Mark’s arm in fear, but he simply turned to her and said, “We’ll see each other again…promise.â€Â With a wink and a crooked grin, he waved his hand through the air and Jenny saw her world dissolve around her. Apparently he had learned some tricks from his father.
Â
Jenny woke up in a strange room she had never seen before. She saw the soft glow of an aetheryte crystal a few feet away and instantly knew what had happened. Mark had somehow tapped into the power of the aether to send her back to his home. A painting on a nearby fireplace confirmed her suspicion; it was of Mark and the Doc. By the looks of it the painting had been commissioned some time ago, since Mark was only half the height of his father at the time it was made. She fought back a tear as she realized Mark was not with her. She hadn’t realized it, but in the short time they had been together she had grown quite fond of him. His last words echoed haunting in her mind.  Had he been captured by the Garleans? Was he even still alive?  What of the Doc?
She knew these questions could wait.  First, she needed to find out where she was. She walked over to the window and cracked the blind open. She was not prepared for what she saw.
In case you were wondering, Jenny is the character this story is about. Unfortunately, she will be on neither Balmung or Gilgamesh, but on Behemoth.
If anyone's interested, I'll PM you the rest of what I've got when it's finished
