Ionic

Having been cast out for reasons that he never learned, Ionic traveled the continent alone until he meet Viperstrike in the Southern Icefield. The other obelisk explained his story, he had been exiled for lashing out against the helper role that obelisks had fallen into; and Ionic decided to keep him company after that. When he wasn't watching his step, however, Ionic fell into a frigid lake, and feared that they would drown. They woke up, a large part of their stone-shell frozen and rigid now; making moving impossible some days; and Viper bore scars from saving them from their fate. Three other obelisks found them, and promised the two that they'd be protected and safe; and they agreed to travel together- becoming highway robbers in Dragonhome where the heat of the region reduced the general pain and mobility from the frozen shell.

Even with the better climate, Ionic's health kept him relegated to guard duty, and bad days happened, and the bandits grew more and more frustrated with him- and Viper's loyalty to him over them. Another former bandit from a rival group eventually meet with them on a heist, and she suggested that they join the same clan she did- considering that they allowed her in even with the fact that her former group had targeted them as well. Ionic eventually voiced their desires to give clan life a try, hearing the other obelisks honest vouching for how they treated obelisks, and Viper eventually agreed as long as they could stay together.

Health continued to be a problem for Ionic, leaving them stuck in the clan's medical building for most of their time. Viper kept close despite not needing to stay there, and Maria, a skydancer who had dedicated herself to helping anyone with lingering health issues, started helping train Viper to help assist in daily living, focused on Ionic first and foremost- and making sure that the clan renovated part of the medical building to be a good dedicated home for Ionic to stay that didn't feel as cold and sterile. Ionic eventually got a pet ferret, trained to help as well with needed things as well as to just be a pet and a normal thing of life.
