Conceptual Keystone's History

Little is known about Clara's early life. She was born with anomalous abilities and displayed them from a young age, traumatizing and endangering those around her. Her village came to see her as a harbinger of doom and subjected her to increasing abuse and isolation. On the night of her 12th birthday, Clara inadvertently unleashed a catastrophic burst of raw psychic energy that destroyed the village and killed all its inhabitants. She was the sole survivor. Wandering alone in shock and grief, Clara was discovered by the mysterious followers of a forbidden demonic cult. They saw her powers as a sign she was destined to become their new leader. They took her in and groomed her to embrace her abilities and potential as a "goddess." Under the cult's influence, Clara has honed her skills and carried out dark rituals to amplify her powers. She now commands a devoted army of followers through displays of fearsome psychic might mixed with promises of otherworldly secrets and salvation. Her goal is nothing less than total domination.
