Background

Born in the city of New Luxford, Mixxi was fathered by an unknown Human father who had courted with Belvma Sparkcog when she worked as a machinist for the Luxfordian army in the years leading up to the Great War. When the great war begun, Belvma's consort left to fight in the battles leaving her to raise their daughter alone. Though raising Mixxi during a time of the great war proved worrying to the mother, Belvma was able to secure a way home to Thorimar when it begun and was able to keep her only daughter safe from harm throughout its entirely, however when the flames of war were quenched and Luxfordia fell to the hands of the Asvar, Belvma discovered that her mate did not make it back alive, having passed away like many others who were sent into the slaughter by the mad-king Yvain. Having been a firm supporter of the King, the news of both her mate's and the King's death drew the woman's face blue with fear of what the world may turn into in the coming years, causing her to shelter herself and her daughter within their home in the mountain city with little contact with the world outside the city walls.

Believing it best to keep her father's identity a mystery to her daughter, Belvma raised the curious-minded child telling little of him other than that he was a brave man who fought for the freedom of the world, painting him a hero in her daughter's golden eyes and inspiring her to follow in his footsteps like-minded. Growing up, Mixxi would do nothing shy of running away from home with a wooden sword in hand trying to hunt monsters for days on end which would cause much heartache for the widowed mother. In an attempt to quench her daughter's reckless desire for braving the dangers of the world outside their quiet mountain city, Belvma made Mixxi her apprentice in the art of engineering and established a tinker shop in Thorimar, teaching her everything that she knew of her craft and molding a quick-witted tinker out of Mixxi... although she always had a keen eye towards creating weapons and adventuring gadgets above all else.

By the age of 17, Mixxi came across a pamphlet calling for younglings to attend Etherin Academy and learn of the Arcane. Awestruck by the possibility of learning magic, the girl came to her mother begging to be allowed to attend but she would meet with cold denials and outraged rejections that only sent the Halfling girl into a fit of sorrow, breaking down in front of her mother for limiting her views on life to the shade of the city she feels protected within. Although her words did little to change the answer from her mother, it served to reinforce her actions in the days to follow as Mixxi would run away from her home, leaving her home to go an adventure of her dreams and using the tools she made to protect herself from wandering monsters and bypass those that would come searching for her. For a time, the girl would take up an alias as "Streak" and offer her services in monster hunting for the locals of Geata Mara so that she may line her pockets with enough Gex to secure a ride to the west and gain attendance into Etherin before the school year begins.

Although unexperienced and young, Mixxi made a name for herself as a cheap and effective adventurer who was able to complete her jobs with precision and efficiency, using a gun she made called Calamity to blast foes into bits and pieces. When she had enough credit to sail west and attend Etherin, Mixxi would do so with the blood of an accomplished adventurer pumping through her body, full-eager on entering the mage school and add to her arsenal henceforth. Although she would be a crude and unrefined mess of an example who kept her family a secret, Mixxi was given a chance to study in the academy after she barely passed her entry level exams, going under the wing of Instructor Haleson who taught destructive magics and direct combat, a suitable match for the Halfling.

In her time in Etherin Mixxi would also come face to face with her mother, who had searched for her missing daughter for half a year by then, ordering her to stop what she begun and return to her home in the mountains. Though her instructors were troubled to hear of Mixxi's unwillingness to listen to her mother's guidance and even running away from her at a young age, they made the ultimate decision to stand by her when Belvma attempted to take her back, convincing the Dwarven woman that this is where she belonged and to take it away from her now would only ruin her life. Heartbroken and tearful, Belvma would leave the academy without her daughter, who grew to ponder on her own choices by now.

Through trial and error, Mixxi would show her colours as a determined and capable magician who begun to see an opportunity to weave magic with tech, creating an upgraded version of her gun Calamity which used conjured crystals as beacons of power and unleashed blasts of ice magic like that of a aetheric cannon, using it like a wand.. Though she excelled in her class, she failed in coming up with a creative name for her new weapon, opting to call it "Calamity Cannon". Mixxi would graduate Etherin Academy at the age of 22.

Following her graduation, Mixxi was left with a choice to make: to return home to her lonesome mother or to move forward with the life she always sought for herself. With heavy heart and a deep sigh, Mixxi would choose to do the latter, leaving what little family she had behind to live a free life of an adventurer.

Powers and Abilities

Mixxi is a chaotic, direct opponent in combat. She uses her Calamity Cannon to blast enemies with ice magic which she casts through it like a wand, able to hit enemies both up close and far away. She is eager to fight and is reckless in doing so, defining the term "Glass Cannon" with her fighting style by using little protection other than her magical barriers to defend herself with, instead relying on destroying her opponent before they destroy her which has worked out for her... for the most part.

Even without her favorited Cannon, Mixxi carries with her a crystal staff she was given for her graduation which serves as a conduit and battery for her powers. She may use it similarly to her Cannon, though with less control.

Her focus is primarily on Water and Frost magic, with the latter of which being her preferred form of offense. She uses Calamity Cannon in a number of ways, either barraging her foes with bolts of ice, spraying icy wind out like a cyromatic flamethrower or charge up a bigger shot, creating a massive projectile which explodes in a larger radius to deliver even more pain. She may also cast barriers of ice around herself to protect her, use her cannon to jump by creating momentum and in the worst of cases surround herself in an impenetrable block of ice.

Physical Description

Mixxi is a short Halfling standing under a meter tall. She has deep blue hair in twin ponytails and big golden eyes. She has a somewhat busty build.

Mixxi still wears the clothes she was given when she was a student under Instructor Haleson, though modified with a graduates' shoulderpads, multi-purpose toolbelt around her waist, tinker gloves and fall resistant shoes.
