Rynn

Codename: Fennec

Age: 15

Origin: Never Realm (formling)

Powers
Element: Foresight

Powers/Abilities:


 * She can see into the future, be it just a few seconds ahead or possible futures ahead several days (the farther ahead, the more energy required). When looking that far ahead, she can see possible timelines and events that directly cause them
 * She can observe any familiar place or person in any realm as if it were a live feed, however this ability takes total concentration and a lot of her energy.
 * She can conjure little scenes of possible futures yet to happen, and possible pasts that never occurred. She is still working to control this power, and it sometimes activates when she’s dreaming. With enough training, she can even play scenes from her past and possibly others. For this reason she is sometimes called Master of The Timeline.

Lore/History
You’ve heard the stories of the first elemental masters time and time again, but as usual you haven’t heard all of it. When the first spinjitzu master gave out elemental powers, he gave most to humanity, but he also gave power to every other humanoid society. The serpentine were given Asphera (personal headcanon, master of sorcery) and the formlings were given the first elemental master of foresight. The munts and geckles were deemed too reckless for elemental power, so they were given Lilly to protect them. The people of Shintaro already had the power to protect themselves and did not wish to for any additional power.

It quickly became apparent that the element of foresight was way too overpowered in the hands of a well trained fighter. The first master knew this too, and became mischievous. In an attempt to level the playing field, they tried to transfer the elemental power from the master into a sword, creating the sword of sanctuary. But the master regained his full powers afterwards, as elemental power is not easily lost.

After time and war with the serpentine, the elemental alliance decided that not only was the sword of sanctuary too powerful, so was the elemental master of foresight. His form being a snake, they smelled general trouble and mischief on him, which they were inclined not to trust. So, they sealed the sword in cloud kingdom and the master in the neverrealm, which the elemental master was willing to comply with. He took it upon himself to protect the realm and his people, the formlings. But as the most powerful person in the entire realm, his mischief turned into terror. He could accurately predict his opponent’s next move, be it a single enemy or an entire army. He and his bloodline of elemental masters of foresight shook the realm, causing damage and fear second only to the soon to come Ice Emperor (during his reign, the masters of foresight seemingly disappeared). However, everyone in his bloodline after him was formless, until Rynn. After an untold number of generations of masters, a young master of foresight had a one night stand with a village formling, right before his disappearance. The master was said to have died in a horrible accident which he did not foresee, and the village woman later died in childbirth. She gave birth to a young girl of red hair, her name was Rynn.

Backstory

Rynn grew up in a monastery, very far south of The Great Lake, due to the history of her bloodline everyone thought it would be best if she was raised in a place of peace. She still was powerful, and the elders wanted her to grow up to protect the realm, so from the tender age of 4 she was taught the art of self defense. In hopes to stay as peaceful as possible in her teachings, she was mostly instructed in the art of the silent fist. This was especially easy with her foresight, because she could see and evade oncoming attacks without fail. Similarly she was taught to fight with a quarterstaff rather than a blade, but she taught herself how to use two small blades anyway. Her entire childhood she was bullied by the other students for her family’s past, and for who they feared she may become. And due to her formless history, she felt like she would never find her place in this realm.

Around the age of 9, Rynn was able to find her form: the fox. Foxes being shifty creatures, the hatred only worsened. One night she was even stopped by other students while on an outing in her form. The students who stopped her had powerful forms: a bear, an eagle, and a timberwolf. They attacked her, beat her and gave her several scars across her back, using their forms and overwhelming her so her powers couldn’t help enough to stop them. She limped back to the monastery that night, knowing she could never be able to get the public’s acceptance. She decided that night that proving them wrong wasn’t worth it, and began to dabble in harmless pranking and trickery. Never to hurt anyone, just for laughs, and her instructors heavily disapproved. Hoping to eliminate her free time, they gave Rynn some ice skates and told her to go wild. She came to love the ice, as she was surrounded by it, and she became a passionate figure skater.

4 years later, Rynn found herself reading late one night when a lantern overturned somewhere in the monastery, setting it quietly ablaze. Being the only one awake, she woke everybody up and tried to get them all out of the burning monastery. She succeeded as the flames spread, but as the place was about to collapse she stopped a pillar from falling with her forearms. She held it up so that the last batch of young students could escape, but she couldn’t get herself out before the pillar fell to the side, blocking her exit. The trapped and exhausted Rynn collapsed, a few large bird forms were able to carry her out, but Rynn was in bad shape. She sustained severe burns to both of her arms and lung damage due to the smoke inhalation, but she pulled through. Because of her efforts to save everyone inside, she was not fully blamed for starting the fire, but everyone still suspected from thence forward that she had something to do with the fire’s start. It was just one more thing for them to hold against her.

After healing of her wounds, Rynn decided she wouldn’t stay and be hated for existing for the rest of her life. A new monastery was built nearly a year later, and after its completion she disappeared into the night. Leaving only a series of notes behind, she set off to find the travelers tree that she knew the strangers had recently used a few months back, hoping to find a fresh start somewhere in Ninjago. After weeks of searching, and weeks more of trying to make the tea strong enough, she found the tree and brewed a portal to Cloud Kingdom. It wasn’t Ninjago, but she figured anywhere was better than here, and jumped through. In cloud kingdom she learned more about her element and how destiny is written. During her stay, she learned that her scrolls are blank, and ink slicks right off of them as if they were made of glass. She also learned about the sword forged from her element: the Sword of Sanctuary. The future is reflected in it, but in the blade (and any other future telling devices), a master of foresight would have no reflection, no matter who wields it. It’s as if she's invisible to fate, as if she lives outside of destiny. Now wiser in the ways of the world, Rynn said her thank you's and her goodbyes and left the realm through the Blind Man’s Eye. She was finally where she wanted to be all her life: Ninjago.

After descending the Wailing Alps and exploring yet another new realm, Rynn found herself at the doors of the strangers’ monastery. There she quickly learned about the realm and was briefly trained in the art of spinjitzu, which she picked up with ease. She didn’t stay long, however, as she didn’t want to ruin things with her presence. After a few short weeks, she thanked the ninja and set off for the city. The city wasn’t right for a broke, young stranger, nor did the pollution sit well with her damaged lungs, so she made herself a home in the birchwood forest. Her funds come from hunting, competitive figure skating, and winning fights in an underground fight club, and she hopes to one day study at the Marty Oppenheimer school of performing arts with a major in tech theatre. But for now, she’s a hero in training and a friendly neighborhood Master of Foresight.

Trivia

 * Her fox form has larger than normal ears, hence the nickname “Fennec”. This is also the name she uses in the fight club.
 * Does not understand technology, and likely never fully will, but basic tech still fascinates her in an acronix kind of way. Like a shower, its water that comes out of the WALL
 * Gracefully stealthy and sneaky, many a casual backflip. She fights with lots of acrobatics
 * Tiny ball of energy and ADHD, lightly salted with a dash of anger and angst
 * Will often times wear bandana around her forehead, because it falls around her neck in fox form and distinguishes her from normal wildlife
 * Got her snout stuck in a paper bag once, will never live it down
 * Has never once had a normal dream, only dreams in glimpses of the future, if at all
 * Can and will sometimes curl up at the foot of someone else's bed in fox form
 * Never learned how to swim, but can doggie paddle in fox form
 * Isn't used to the polluted quality of ninjago city's air, so she wears a mask in the city to protect her lungs (damaged from smoke inhalation in fire)
 * Does not know that zane was the ice emperor, but grew up in his reign and heard the stories about the strangers who came to dethrone him before she left. I personally doubt they ever told her
 * Has relatively sharp canine teeth and will bare them when angry
 * She has the eyes of a fox so they reflect light in the dark even in human form. Likewise, she can only see in limited color (reference provided below). But to make up for it, she can hear the higher frequencies that most canines can
 * Would benefit from glasses, but doesn’t like to wear them in the field because she doesn’t want them to fall off in fights
 * Her element’s color is technically neon cyan, but she prefers to wear orange because, due to her form, she was dressed in that color all her life.
 * Still has mild trouble with her powers every now and then, because she has yet to reach her true potential
