Veila is a Genesis Raposa created (age 16) alongside the rest of her kind on the dawn of the fourth year. As a Genesis Raposa, Veila was tasked by the Creator with progressing her species and was granted a unique ability to aid her. Within the first week of creation, most of Veila's peers had discovered their purpose and abilities. Yet Veila, among the few who had yet to determine their ability, worked as a laborer, assisting in the construction of what would soon become [[Raposa Village|Capital Village]].

Veila spent the remainder of her free time studying the art. She learned quickly: Having been created to become an expert magician, understanding came naturally to Veila. After a short year, Veila—now 18—was a master and began tutoring her proud village. Determined to find new ways of assisting her species, she worked tirelessly inventing new spells and magic-powered devices.

Though hailed as a hero, Veila was blind to the praise she accrued.
Though hailed as a hero, Veila was blind to the praise she accrued. The years she spent oblivious to her blessing left her feeling deeply ashamed, despite her present usefulness. Eager to substantiate her worth, Veila pushed herself to study further: Her high standards grew from her fear of failing to satisfy the basis for her creation.

<p style="padding-left: 10px;">
Despite her blessings, Veila was only a Raposa. Seasons passed since her unveiling of the Warp Gates and Veila struggled to produce further boons for her village. By now, many of her friends had moved on from their divine duties, living lives of their own and starting families in the matured village. Yet, Veila found herself unable to move forward, unsure that she had fully honored her duty to her village.

<p style="padding-left: 10px;">
Veila's focus on her work eventually took a toll on her relationships as visits to friends and village festivals become more seldom. Though those close to her urged her to give up on magic, she pressed on nonetheless. Time passed, and Veila, now 19, finally laid the groundwork for her next project: The Codex Perditus. Her old spells were revolutionary, but shared a common flaw: They were prohibitive. Useful spells—such as the ones to create Warp Gates—required years of training and an exorbitant magic cost fulfilled; Only a couple could be performed per a year.
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 10px;">
The Codex Perditus would solve both issues. A thorough document detailing all the spells Veila knew, the Codex would aid the understanding of even the most inept magic users. However, the tome would serve one larger purpose: to perform incantations on behalf of the user. This meant that even the most expensive spells, such as Warp Gate creation, could be performed efficiently by moderately skilled users without inordinate magic costs. The idea was sound, but it lacked one element: a powerful source of magic to fuel the tome.
