Name: Ryden (aka- Ryan, Rydell)
Age: (depends on RP) Default/Escaped: 22 Pre-escape: 11 to 21
Species: Kaled (Legacy Project)
Planet of Origin: Skaro
Bio: Many, many milennia after the Genesis of the Daleks, Skaro still had a hungering need for healthy genetics. As some Daleks, like Arkreli, were sent to obtain healthy variations of Dalek, others undertook a more sensitive project.
The Kaled City is similar to a British New Town, idyllic but still shivering in the shadows of the Thousand Year War. It is a nostalgic memory of Davros', come to life.
Ryden was born through the Legacy Project, a program rewarding high-ranking elites with the opportunity to raise the curated, banked material of notable Thousand Year War fallen. His biological father is Davros' late, devoted Second in Command, Nyder. His mother, a smuggled and assimilated Salutary named Ashe (SALUTARY# 48-H3). He has 4 older half-siblings fathered by Military Elite Colonel Reige, Major Margell (male- Military Elite), Trissa (female- Married to scientist Krovac), Yevaa and Yannos (female and male- Twins, Interrogators).
Ryden is careful, calculated, and intelligent. He seeks to understand what happened when he was eleven, when his mother was assigned to journey past an iron gate into The Preserve- a 16 square hectare, fenced off plot of land in Thal territory. Ashe never returned, the tether cable cut by an unknown party inside. Ryden eventually defects from Military Youth/Elite and goes to find what was lost.
Name: Giselle (aka Giselly, Wawa, NO STOP THAT)
Age: Adult Bird
Species: Raven (Faekind)
Planet of Origin: Skaro (The Preserve)
Bio: A year and one month after Ashe's disappearance in the Preserve, a raven tangled in thread appeared at the household of Reige and Ashe. With Ashe gone, Trissa, just 17, was pulled from a promising career in the Military Youth's science branch to attend to the younger siblings. Birds were rarely seen on the war-scarred Skaro, something Trissa took into account when Ryden brought her this bird (for fear Yevaa and Yannos would stomp the poor thing to death). Untangling the raven, Trissa and Ryden kept it safe until they could release it.
The bird would return, clutching Ashe's favorite crochet hook. She called herself 'Giselle', and Ryden found himself with a companion.
Giselle is a guiding sort to Ryden, but also up to mischief. Being of Faekind, she is sapient and highly perceptive. Giselle's eye marking has slight resemblance to the Military Elite eye insignia, missing the upper bolt. She is overall charming and charismatic, able to endear herself to stiff military sorts.
