			** Disorganized and rough, like digging through their pockets and hastily slapping together bronze and worn pieces of machinery. All their inventions spout out steam and glow with excess magical energy.

Fall off a cliff to their presumed death. Alchemist Lady is captured with the intent of trying to get her to make more of the vessel.

			The vessel gets fished up from the ocean by a pirate crew, the Riptides, and they heal it up. They're suffering from amnesia and don't even remember their name or origin, so the captain of the crew gives them the name "Hecusa" since they have a hexagon shaped sigil on their chest. They spend a little time onboard as the ship has to travel a far way to find a safe place to dock, and in that time Hecusa falls in LOVE with mechanical stuff-- like steam engines, magitech, etc. all the stuff onboard the cool, state of the art fantasy steampunk magitech ship.

			They get dropped off in Scraphovel, a frequent stop for the Riptides, where Hecusa grows up and learns the ways of the world. It's a wretched hive of outcasts, criminals, and runaways-- honorable thieves and scumbags type beat. The innkeeper will give you a free stew if it looks like you're having a bad day, but she'll charge you for it later for 200% interest. That kinda shit. The Riptides drop back a few times every year and Hecusa is always the first person to greet them, they consider the group to be like family and want to join them!

			To prove themselves useful, Hecusa learns EVERYTHING about tinkering that they can. True to the name, Scraphovel is full of scrap, meaning its citizenry are pretty handy with mechanics and invention, so they get pretty good despite not having a formal education. Eventually, their skills impress the crew enough that they get taken on as a part-time shipwright/mechanic.

			Adventures! Fun! A few expeditions pass and just as many years, then Riptides find Super Duper Cool MacGuffin treasure map, but its also SUPER DUPER DANGEROUS and they can't bring Hecusa along with them for it, so they drop them off in Scraphovel and promise to come back to pick them up after...

			2 years go by without a word from their crew. They get a little mechanical bird one day with an SOS message. Call to adventure!

			[SUPER DUPER ROUGH BACKSTORY SPARKNOTES]

			Lady loses son in tragic accident. So sad. Decides to make a replacement goldfish through Advanced Alchemy and Magic, making a vessel that can act as a sort of lightning rod for souls so she can bring her kid back. Maybe she caught some vestiges, but the soul occupying the vessel is its own unique soul, but it does have a roommate.

			Everything is New to the vessel, which makes them cause a LOT of problems and trouble, which leads to sad Alchemist Lady getting fed up and regretting all her life decisions. but uh-oh, making a literal new being from scratch who can channel SOULS kind of attracts attention, Krites Archanaea attention, specifically. Not wanting her creation to be captured and dissected (because she had #complicated feelings over the vessel), she runs with it away from the soldiers wanting to capture it and her.

			Sad Girl Hours. It kinda sucks being dead, and sucks even more when you always have to bail out your vessel whenever they cause trouble on purpose. Gives Samurai or Gladiator vibes, turns Hecusa's magitech armanent (usually a magically projected whip/hookshot thingy) into a sword-like form whenever using a pulse. Unfinished business.

			When possessing Hecusa, their hair gains a tint of red and is tied up in a long braid.

			==== Invoker ====

			* How did you develop the art of invocation?
			** Hecusa developed their art of invocation as a way to give Semblance/(Their Arcanas) some rest. Instead of letting themselves be possessed fully by a spirit for power, they borrow a slight amount of their Arcanum's power and supplement the difference by channeling the nameless and formless spirits in the world through a magitech armament.
			* Is there a spirit or elemental creature you have a special bond towards?
			** Semblance, the first Spirit they bonded/merged before they were born.
			* How do your invocations manifest?
			** A two-fold process equally spiritual and magitechnical. The hexagonal shaped magic circuit over their chest flares with mana before spreading down their arm towards their magitech armament, which channels the ambient spirits of their surroundings into a physical phenomenon empowered by the strength of their Arcanas' spirit.
			* Are your abilities relatively common, or are you the exception?
			** Invokers are rare, but by no means singular. Each unique wellspring possesses a small conclave of invokers who guard the land in secret. Hecusa is unique in that they discovered the most SCUFFED way to invoke natural spirits. For the conclaves, Invokation is an art that Hecusa brute forced their way into.
