Veila Rheinschild (pronounced Vay-la Rhein-shild) is a 19-year-old female Genesis Raposa of Capital Village.
As a Genesis Raposa—the first generation of Raposa, drawn to life by the Creator—Veila was created to be an expert in magic and use her unique mastery to aid her species. Her eventual creation of the Warp Gates and research into levitation and healing spells made it possible for her village to expand at a rate otherwise impossible and greatly improved the quality of life of her fellow villagers. Despite being renowned, past and present, as the single best magician of all time, Veila considered herself a mere stepping stone to her peers' successes, convinced she had yet to achieve her ordained purpose to her full potential. Determined to refine her skills further to honor her creation, Veila worked tirelessly for years until her vigor led to her abrupt disappearance.
Appearance
Veila was a young-adult female Raposa of slightly below average height and build. She stood at 5ft 9in including ear height, and 5ft 3in without.
Veila had red-brown eyes, orange fur, and long dark-brown hair with unkempt bangs. She often styled her hair in a messy low ponytail which she kept over her right shoulder. When not working or attending village events, she would wear her hair down.
Veila's go-to outfit consisted of a red button-up long sleeve shirt with a white collar and cuffs, a white undershirt with an angular cut, rolled-up dark-grey cuffed slacks, and brown boots.
As a Shadow construct within the Codex Perditus, Veila appeared as a Shadow Walker with Raposa ears. As such, her physical form was entirely composed of black Shadow goo which constantly emanated pieces of Shadow. Overall, she stood upright, retaining anthropomorphic qualities.
The only defining features of her form were two solid white eyes, a wide, partially smiling, mouth, and claw-like hands.
Veila has red-brown eyes, orange fur, and long dark-brown hair with lifted bangs. Unlike her past life, she prefers to wear her down, such that it rests on her shoulders, and styles it with loose, flowing, waves.
Her go-to outfit consists of a red over-sized sweater, dark-gray palazzo pants, and open-toed flats. During cold weather, she may wear a beige scarf.
Story
Creation
Veila is a Genesis Raposa created (age 13) 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 capabilities. 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 Capital Village.
As seasons passed, the number of Raposa who had yet to discover their ordained purpose decreased until only Veila and her closest friend, Kodir, remained without. Though her village was kind, Veila thought herself inadequate compared to those around her with abilities she yet lacked.
Unwilling to become a burden, she embraced a lifestyle of self-sufficiency, living alongside her best friend. However, a year later, Kodir discovered their purpose to Veila's greatest delight and melancholy. Though she was ecstatic for her best friend, the heavy burden of purposelessness now laid solely upon her shoulders.
Warp Gates
Fearful of failing her creation mandate and full of self-doubt, Veila adopted meditation to cope. This habit led to a surprising outcome for the young Raposa when she accidentally conjured a ball of light whilst meditating one night. Having discovered magic, Veila finally found her purpose: to master the art and mentor her 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 17—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.
A prominent example, and one leading to her notoriety, was the Warp Gates. Warp Gates, the evolution of her first basic levitation spell, allowed Raposa to traverse long distances instantly between other linked Gates. Treks that would take teams of Raposa days to cross now could be made in mere seconds without the need for bulky supplies. Naturally, this enabled her village to expand far beyond its original borders.
In her lifetime, Veila created four gates within Capital Village, each leading to newly discovered region: The Snow Gate, Forest Gate, Beach Gate, and the City Gate (so named as it would later become the main area of expansion for her village). Though the Gates had limitations (such that they could not transport cargo en mass), they were a boon to the growing village and would continue to see heavy usage centuries into the future.
Dissatisfaction
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.
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.
Veila's focus on her work eventually took a toll on her relationships. Following her move to Gearworks—where the natural magic levels were higher—visits to friends and village festivals became 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 creating Warp Gates—required years of training and an exorbitant magic cost fulfilled; Only a couple could be performed per year.
The Codex Perditus would solve both issues. A final memoir, a complete 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.
The Book of Life
Unfortunately for Veila, few sources of magic strong enough for her needs existed. The only magical artifacts powerful enough to sustain the Codex were those drawn into being by the Creator, and Veila could only access one: The Book of Life. Using the whole Book would prove excessive, and quickly noticed. So, when she was able, Veila sneaked into the unguarded Creation Hall and deftly tore one of many blank pages from the Book of Life. Unnoticed, she returned home to the Forest Gate.
With everything needed for the Codex, Veila started work and soon thereafter had a prototype. Now, all that remained was to enchant it using the blank page. Though she was wise enough not to use the whole book, or modify existing pages, Veila still underestimated the power contained within a single page. Overrun with magic Veila attempted to halt the enchantment, but even with her abilities it was too late: The spell was critically unstable.
Disappearance
The infusion spell backfired. Fueled by the excess magic of the Book of Life, the effect was amplified tenfold. Rather than just absorbing the magic from the blank page, the Codex Perditus absorbed all that was around it, including Veila's soul. The Codex had become supercharged; it was not made to withstand the amount of magic it now contained. Too unstable to exist in the Raposa world any longer, the Codex—and by extension, Veila—vanished into the Void.
Days following the accident, a search party was launched by the Mayor. The farthest reaches of the Forest Gate region were scoured, yet no trace of Veila was ever identified. The search was eventually called off when Mecha Baki—one of Veila's experiments—in the area became increasingly more erratic without her guidance. Out of equal parts fear and respect, the villagers sealed off the Gearworks region where it would remain untouched until The Fall.
Codex Perditus
Within the Codex, Veila's consciousness became fragmented and dreamlike. Without a proper body, she lost the ability to feel complex emotions and reason. She was left with only her fear and anger, with little control over her thoughts and actions. As long as the Codex were in the Void, it was unable to interact with reality.
However, for a few hours once every century—during the Great conjunction when the Void and reality temporarily intersect—the Codex Perditus could once again cross into the Raposa world. While most of these events came and passed with no one discovering the book, those who would encountered a hostile Shadow construct emanating from it. Though the soul-powered entity was sluggish and easily fooled, it was responsible for a small handful of disappearances and injuries within subsequent 100-year windows. Yet, its rarity made such events challenging to prove, cementing the Codex and the monster within it as a myth or folk tale.
600 years after its creation, the Codex Perditus happened across its final victim(s). The Codex was activated within the car of the Heinnen family on their way to a camping location, the resulting shock wave and flash causing the vehicle to crash. Marzell Heinnen and his younger brother survived with injuries but were pursued by the Shadow creature. Desperate to protect his brother, Marzell made his way to the Codex Perditus and ripped it apart. The magic stored within the book poured out into the environment around it. Still, a small fraction of the magic—including Veila's soul—was absorbed by Marzell instead.
Relationships
Marzell Heinnen
Veila considers Marzell to be her closest friend. Despite the strenuous and bitter start of their relationship, the two have grown very close over time.
Veila "met" Marzell when he destroyed the artifact her soul was trapped within. Following this, he inadvertently absorbed her soul and gained the ability to speak to her in his mind space. Though happy to finally have been freed and consciousness restored, Veila became aware of the fact she was an intruder in Marzell's body and had caused him a great deal of suffering as a Shadow Construct. Anguished by this, Veila made her presence known to Marzell, who was enraged upon learning the truth, wishing she had never been created.
As tensions cooled in time, Marzell began to understand that Veila had not meant any harm to him and had little say in their current situation. Eventually, he apologized for his remarks. Despite this, Veila couldn't yet forgive herself, but was comforted by his reprieve.
When Marzell began training with the Mages following his capture, Veila provided him magic instruction. Slowly, this led to his mastery of Shadow. By this time, the two had grown close as friends and Veila opened up more about her past.
Trivia
- Veila created the Mecha Baki as a means of protecting village crops from pests, however they failed to scare away living Baki as intended. After Veila's disappearance, Mecha Baki slowly spread from Gearworks to Star Forest, becoming a threat of their own and evading extermination attempts.
- Following The Fall, the few Mecha Baki that remained in the Forest Gate died off once magic levels dropped world-wide.
