Character background story:
Xanriella Kinsley Penagril is born to a wealthy merchant family. She has an inquisitive and intelligent mind, conquering finance and diplomacy at a young age. She opens a blue flame powered toy her father gifts her upon his return from one of his voyages. There is an accident and Xanriella loses her right arm and is left with a scarred lower face. Hope for a future as a noble woman is no longer possible for her. She joins her father on a scientific expedition to better understand the mysteries of the blue flame that powers their cities and airships. What they find is quite miraculous. However upon their return trip to reveal their discovery they are attacked by sky pirates and Xanriella is taken as a slave. She is traded between captains as some form of joke. However one captain sees past her disfigured form and takes notice of her intelligence, but more importantly her deep rooted lust for vengeance. The captain known as Captain Tengrin (A name he acquires due to his charismatic smile which he uses rarely and the one he paints on his faceplates reserved for his enimies) takes Xan under his wing. Although Xan despises pirates she is swayed by Captain Tengrin as he shows piracy in a new light and the evil controlling hand of industry and nobility. Xan is indoctrinated and learns to fight, build, repair and bond with her crew. As a family of well-oiled murderers and thieves, they hunt down the pirate that had captured her and killed her father and his crew. Xan discovers from the pirate captain’s dying breath that someone had hired him to kill her father and his crew, someone rich and powerful, someone in the nobility, someone that was scared of what their scientific discovery might undo. Thus Xan sets on a path of a Robin Hood stealing from the rich to give to the poor and use her father’s scientific discovery of the blue flame to bring the whole charade of hierarchy down. Only then will her vengeance be sated.

Combat Style:
Xan fights in the thick of combat. Her armor and weapons absorb, consume and expel thermal and kinetic energy. She uses that energy to help her breath, keep her balance, move quickly or even expel it on her enemies in the form of deadly heated punches from her mechnical arm or brutal heated cuts and burns from her flamethrower sword. Xan doesn't fight alone. She is usually shadowed by hovering combat drones which link up to her headset and goggles to give her greater battle awareness as well as carrying a supporting arsenal to destroy her enemies.
