Tanya Rivers

==Biography==
===Early Childhood And Training===
Born To Veronica And keith Rivers Tanya's life was not likely to be an ordinary one. When Tanya was three years old she was abducted into General's spartan 5 Program. like many of the younger abductee's Much of her early time in the program was simple exercises and teaching lessons designed to prepare the recruits for what was to come later. By the age of Six as the training had evolved so had Tanya's social situation. It was around this age that she had become close Friends With Evan ((Shark)), Alicia ((Hawk)),, And J.J. ((Hyena)). She was also allowed regular visits with her family, though this allowance in the end would cause more problems for Tanya later in life.
=== Age 7 To The Augmentation Ramifications ===
Tanya's 7th birthday party was one of the first milestones of her development in which She was reduced to tears not only by the fighting of her parents but for how coldly her mother treated her flatly telling her to her face that she was an unwanted mistake. the party ended abruptly after that with the children being taken back to general's facility. It was the last time Tanya would see both her mother and father in the same place as Veronica Rivers would disappear completely as she moved to work with the OMEGA Full Time. Despite that traumatic event Tanya continued to grow as a king young girl, being one of the few dozen children abducted by general who were truly up to the task. At the age of 13 Tanya would join the Omega Corporation at the behest of Veronica Rivers. While Tanya was considered one of the exceptional in the Spartan 5 program the same could not be said for her position in the Omega corp. given a science team to her command and plenty of work, many in her branch resented her presence viewing her underqualified and undeserving. Despite the obstacles she threw as much of her energy into her work there as she did with her training likely as an attempt to gain approval with her distant mother who continued to be disappointed with Tanya's work which was rarely up to the high standards expected by The Omega Corp. Much of her work and activities while in the Omega Corporation are still unknown, as such any further reference to her time in the Omega corp. may be missing context. It was during the age of 14 that the first truly significant blow to her would come. It was at this time in the Spartan 5 Program that General had decided everyone 15 and older would be subjected to the augmentation project. While Tanya herself and many of her other friends were still too young to receive the augmentations, Alicia one of the spartan trainee's in her group of friends was sent to undergo the procedure General promising that once the procedures were over visitation would be allowed. As promised the Spartans-in-training were allowed to visit their friends soon after the procedure. It was during this friendly visit that due to improper placement that Alicia's body began to disintegrate along with many others in the room. Witnessing One of her closest friends more or less vanish directly before her eyes did not go over well as she and many other begin to break down into tears as General struggled to figure things out and get things under control. A week went by with training put on hold, Sargent would frequently console Tanya and shark during this period, neither having done well since the event. Time passed and soon training resumed and eventually she seemed to recover. While she was not as cheerful or happy go lucky as she had been before she truly believed in moving forward and training so she could help people. Soon enough it was her turn to receive her augmentations with the final group. Before the procedure was about to start she was given a choice over whether she wanted to procede with the augmentations or not by Sargent she insisted she wanted to move foward. Unfortunately much like the preceding groups not everything went as planned. Tanya spent much of the next few weeks in and out of consciousness, a result of improper placement. Eventually she recovered, her augmentations finally settling down and she would start her training with only other four left in the program. It was at this point Tanya met both Blade-Edge and Nightwing Ravenholm, while she had interacted with the dragon before they had rarely spoke to each other up to this point and Blade-Edge belonged to a different group. Tanya was also happy to find out that two of her friends Shark and J.J. had survived though shark had lost his ability to speak as a result of his procedure. As they began training as a group for the first time to learn cohesion and how to fully utilize each of their unique augmentations, J.J. collapsed becoming the final Spartan to fall in General's program. It was this point that General took Tanya aside and told her that what happened to him would likely happen to her as well. 
 
=== Specialized Training ===
Despite the unnerving revelation Tanya took it all in stride believing that no matter what could happen she could still help people and there was no turning back now. While on one of her break periods an incident occurred where Tanya, sure of her newly enhanced abilities attempted to stop a robbery in progress. (Oddly enough no official records exist of this incident despite police involvement, information of this incident is primarily from the people who had witnessed the event take place) Tanya ran in and managed to take down the robber watching the door who was likely taken aback by the unusual assailant. A gunshot then pierced through the noise, a bullet grazed Tanya and one of the robber's had his gun trained on her. Despite all her training, mentally she was unprepared. She froze up with fear, unable or unwilling to move. The robber steadied his gun and fired a shot that would have most likely ended her life but a civilian had come up behind her and pushed her out of the way of the bullet before the gun was fired. The robbers quickly fled with the police giving chase as Tanya regained her senses and noticed the dying civilian behind her. It was this moment that she broke down weeping, realizing her own powerlessness, cradling the dying civilian in her arms before she simply just stood up and left(The identity of the civilian and the robbers are unkown. By the time the ambulances arrived the body had disappeared and none of the security camera's in or around the building caught any sight of him). For the next few weeks she basically disappeared wandering around the city streets aimlessly in a haze. Nothing of note really happened to her during that period up until a passerby by attempted to get her attention tried to grab her shoulder. Reacting without thinking, Tanya began to violently attack the man. Throwing him to the ground and repeatedly punching him into the face until he stopped moving. Realization of what she had done dawned on her quickly. Unable to deal with the fact she had killed an innocent person in cold blood her mind snapped and she went to find the nearest bridge to throw herself off of. As she jumped off the bridge she had found to drown herself Natasha Williams, A secondary personality, a fragment of her newly warped mind, Manifested grabbing Tanya by the leg chiding her for her own weakness and then dropping her into the river below. Tanya was found shortly afterwards and brought back to the spartan 5 training area where she would wake up and resume her training. The change in her personality was instantly noticeable. The once cheerful and energetic girl had become quiet and reserved, rarely speaking to anyone and outside of training and missions would do little else than sit and listen to her music. Her relationship with the team began to be strained as General announces that each of the four Spartan's will be sent off to different trainers to broaden their skills. The first trainer Tanya was given to was the Omega Forseer, to train in the art of Magic something that Foreseer himself said she would be capable of. Unfortunately information on her brief time training with Forseer is scarce. What we do know is that upon her return from his tutelage that she was capable of performing magic spells, one she is particularly adept at using involves touching a wall or the floor and creating giant diamond pillars which she can control to an unknown degree along with weak precognition. Not long after she returned from her brief time with Forseer, her second teacher the Omega Ninja arrived to take her away for what would be her primary training course. Ninja would prove to be a harsh teacher, torturing Tanya if she underperformed in her training. Under his training Tanya would master multiple forms of martial arts, weapon styles, and would learn on how to manipulate her chakra. She was steadily being broken by the cruel training as she was being forced to torture and kill innocents under Ninja's instructions as she began to view herself as nothing more than a weapon a tool. When not training under Omega Ninja she was being sent on missions by General for the UNSC with the other spartan 5's. These missions that the team would sent on would end up mostly as failure's usually as a direct result of Tanya's own actions as she would sabotage the missions in one way or another, including as an example during a simple cleanup mission with a team of ODST's. After on of the ODST's was shot and injured Tanya who was closest to him, decided that due to his injury would only slow them down, and she killed him right there to the shock of both her team and the shock troopers. Beyond that she herself had become suicidal failing multiple times to end her own life and taking unnecessary risks on the battlefield.    
=== Dissolution Of The Spartan 5's To Beyond The Gate ===
Her time with Omega Corp. had also taken a turn for the worse as she began to get on the bad side of anyone with more influence than her, Including the founder Ultima himself(though little is known of the exact consequences). Through all this the spartan 5's continued to try and help her, including Nightwing ravenholm who had rarely ever left her side after the group formed. General presumably on a whim decided he should help as well and decided to set her up on a date with the Master Chief, Assuming that the best way to fix one broken person would be with another. Tanya did go accompanied by Nightwing but was no more talkative then usual. The councilor of Wisdom was also there and presumably cast some sort of healing spell on Tanya, though we again have no evidence as to how true this may be. As time continued onward she would continue see john when not training under the Omega Ninja or going on missions with the other spartan 5's. Tanya Was instrumental in stopping Anarluxion's original reign of terror using a spell taught to her by the Omega Foreseer to hold him in place and allow others to injure his corporeal and force him to retreat. She began to show signs of recovery around this time becoming slightly more talkative and like hor old self, signified by the fact she stopped dying her hair brown and wearing contacts to hide her pink eyes (She had started doing so during her training with Foreseer, The reasoning behind this is unclear). While on one of her off days Tanya was informed that her mother, Veronica Rivers, had been captured by Creed's Organization and went off to infiltrate and rescue her mother. Unfortunately for Tanya while she was able to slip into the facility where her mother was being held she herself was captured and had a curse placed on her by Zeron. She would later be rescued by John-117 And Orien Tomasaro as they had begun to question Creed's motives. Zeron had escaped though and with his disappearance the curse could not be lifted, Creed promised that he would make up for what Zeron had made him do as the group left. It was not long after that Aurora would be released and start causing problems for the Omega corporation. Tanya, a scientist for the Omega corporation is forced to take sides with Ultima In competition against Aurora's team while the Council Of Eternal prepares judgement (much of the details of the game are unknown along with most of what occurred in those chambers.) Ultima is assassinated by Aurora sending the Omega corporation into chaos. Tanya would soon take advantage of this chaos to sneak into Ultima's office and steal some books from his personal library. Growing sick of training under and doing Omega Ninja's dirty work Tanya approached Blade-Edge, Shark, And Nightwing for help. She begged for assistance telling them what he had made her do and that she wasn't strong enough to deal with him on her own. It did not go over very well, Blade-Edge called her a monster, a murderer, and that no matter the reason she chose to kill all those people when she easily could not have and he left and walked away from her shark following along shortly after. Despite being abandoned by the other two spartan 5's she goes ahead with her plan anyway and thanks to Natasha's help she is able to steal an object from the Omega Ninja and escape from him. Some time after she had escaped from the Omega Ninja she would gain the Lavian Masume Mark of Power along with draconus to help them deal with what is to come. To chase down Zeron and get the Chains of Fate Tanya along with the Master chief, Orien, Nightwing, and Cortana are sent beyond the gate. 
=== Millenium Forest Event ===
Once beyond the gate they soon come across the large forest and meet the guardian of it himself who explains the situation. During their travel through the forest Tanya frequently separates herself from the group, disappearing for chunks of time to think or other unknown reasons. Despite her frequent disappearances Tanya acted very much like the leader for the group, leading them forward on their quest. It was during one of these disappearances that the Master Chief would find her and see the Mark Of Power on her wrist, which was previously hidden underneath a wrapping of gauze bandages. Quickly attempting to hide the mark and then flee into a nearby underwater cave she eventually was caught and reluctantly informed him of what the mark was. After the explanation the journey continued onward as they got through the forest. 
=== Marking Event ===
Shortly after leaving the forest they meet Caenna, who had been sentenced to death by his own people and Tanya decides to bring him along. Later they befriend Brysingr, an elder dragon that also joins the group. The group arrives at a city some time later and take the time to rest. Once again she would separate from the group and go off elsewhere though this time not alone as she was joined by Caenna who went in search of a weapon. During the excursion she was attacked by a creature of darkness and was forced into fighting it. After the creature had fallen she took the sword it had been wielding before she would rejoin Caenna and return back to the main group. As the group continued forward a letter would be delivered to Tanya revealing that the Omega Ninja had killed her father as an act of revenge for what she had done. Not taking this well she fled into a nearby cave system to attempt to kill herself but was talked out of doing it by john and so leaving the cave they continued on their journey. as they started to reach their destination she started to lead them in a circle before once again abandoning the group and running off and climbing a large mountain And Began to cry once again to be found by the Master Chief. Not long after they would depart from the mountain and head towards zeron's tower. 
=== Zeron Event ===
Upon their arrival at the tower the group almost immediately is swarmed by thousands of creatures loyal to Zeron, and Brysingr himself revealing himself to be loyal to zeron. Knowing full well that they could not posiibly win against these odds any other way Tanya begins to process of "unlocking" the Lavian Masume Mark of Power to even the odds. After several minutes of an unknown test she succeeds activating what is called over-soul mode. Changing both her outfit and growing large black angel wings on her back she flies above the battlefield and with a simple spell all the hostile creatures in the area are reduced to dust. She then lands and cancels the mode and after a brief period of rest they head to the inside of the tower. Inside the tower they are forced to complete trails to go up the tower. Tanya takes care of the first two trials but it soon becomes clear that what she did outside had consequences. She begins to cough up blood and begins to lose her balance. As they near the top she even loses the ability to walk under her own power. Once they reach the top Zeron takes little time to start the fighting and begins attacking the group who desperately attempt to get the Chains of Fate from him. Tanya planning to sacrifice herself attempts to grab the chains and force them through her own body to free them from his grasp but is instead thrown back by a burst of lightning thrown by Zeron. This causes the monster in John-117 to be unleashed and allows him to briefly overpower and tear the chains of fate from Zeron, freeing Torrie. due to his bloodlusted state he attempts to kill Torrie only to fail before he remembers the chains of Fate and make a grab for them but they slip from his grasp and disappear. Torrie regretting what the chains of Fate had made her become heals the group of the injuries she inflected upon them but is unable to do do much more than that for Tanya, the injuries that the mark is inflicting on her body being beyond her ability to heal and it is only getting worse as time goes on leaving the group no choice but to wait twenty-four hours and hope she recovers. She does recover after the twenty-four hours have passed far more wary of the mark and upset over the groups failure. With no further to remain their they say goodbye to Torrie and the guardian of the millenium forest as they journey back through the gate.
=== Landing Event ===
Once they return they are greeted by Anarluxion who instructs them to board The Nihilus as it will be their ride to the superplanet. The trip is a mostly quiet one until Tanya hears that the plan for them to actually get down to the surface involves most of them going down in drop pods, at which point she freaks out, refuses, and says that she'll find another way down. The Master chief tries comforting her and saying everything will be alright as he pushes her into one of the pods which closes and locks her in. Naturally freaking out as the pods were jettisoned she was helpless as her pod due to bad luck landed into the ocean, knocking her out and necessitating the Master chief to rescue her from her underwater prison. After joining up with draconus's rebellion things go reasonably well though she and draconus clearly don't get along. The first mission that she's apart of involving attacking an Omega convoy goes well thanks in part to her knowledge of Omega weapons and A.I.'s. Some point not long after she announces that she will be leaving the base for 3 days and promises to return shortly after that time has passed. Exactly why she left or what she did during those three days are mostly unknown, what is known is that at some point during this expedition she ran into The Warden who was having difficulty with a vehicle that had been supplied to him by the Omega Corporation. She introduced herself as the daughter of Veronica Rivers and offer to look at the vehicle to see if she could fix it. Managing to fix it up she soon departed on her journey eventually reaching a nearby town and disappearing. As soon as the three days were up she returned back at base to continue on with their mission. Things went on as normal for the some time until the fact that Master chief had had his augmentations magically removed came to light requiring him to get the surgery a second time. When Tanya discovered it was due to Natasha she flipped out, calling Natasha out and attempting to kill her. Unfortunately Natasha was too powerful and able to predict Tanya's moves so well that the fight did not go well in her favor. Realizing this Tanya instead chose to banish Natasha saying she was no longer welcome inside her head or around her, the master chief or the base they chose to live in. Afterwards things would return mostly to normal with Tanya celebrating a private birthday and continuing to go out on missions for Draconus and the rebellion.
=== Heart Event ===
Realizing that they could use the daeus on their side a plan is formed to attack the heart and frame Moros (Nyx) of the crime. Tanya having an intense hatred of the daeus jumps at the chance saying that she can both disguise herself as Moros with her transformation jutsu but with the Mark of Power she would easily be able to corrupt and destroy the heart. Agreeing that would be their best option Draconus sends her and a small team to the mountain that houses the heart. The group departed and made way to the mountains, eventually running into a group people who made the mountains their home. A group who's leader Tanya took an almost instant dislike towards. As they climbed higher and higher towards their destination, on a whim Tanya decided to jump down a cliff to take rock samples of the rocks in the ravine followed down by bracktanus. After collecting her samples she walked around and spotted a Nyx village that was set-up within the ravine. using her transformation jutsu to disguise herself as an angel she entered the city and soon encountered a nyx, Tanya lied and told him that she had left her kind to learn more about the nyx and help them with their plight. The nyx interested and excited about having such an ally on their side set her up in a building in the settlement as a guest of honor and explained to her about the nyx and their past with the daeus. Learning more about the plight of the Nyx and their history Tanya began to empathize with them as she truly began to want to help the Nyx with their problems. She spent a few day living in the Nyx settlement learning about them and talking with the Nyx that had set her up within the village until one day he came to her and said that Moros was in the village and wanted to meet the angel that wanted to help them. Cautious but sure that she could convince Moros that she was an angel she willingly went along with him. Unfortunately for Tanya Moros was not convinced like the other Nyx and started choking Tanya causing her disguise to fail. Having been incapacitated she was chained to a wall to be dealt with later Bracktanus got word out to the rest of the group and the rest of the group had arrived to mount a rescue operation. The Nyx who had acted as her guide briefly considered killing the unconscious Tanya in the end choosing to leave her be and a short time after he left she was able to escape with the group from the settlement, deciding from that point on that she would help the Nyx and save them from Moros. The events that occurred afterwards as they got closer to the heart is unknown, the heart was destroyed and the group returned back to base. 
=== Mother event ===
After the Heart event Tanya began to consider having her mark removed having suffered the ill effects and seen it for the evil it was. She managed to rope Draconus into agreeing to do it despite his insistence that it was a bad idea and he is underqualified for such a task. before they can truly begin to consider removing the mark it was decided that the Omega Corporation needed to be knocked out of the war as soon as possible as their near infinite resources would make any long term rebellion impossible. Having worked for the Omega Corp. for a considerable amount of time Tanya has worked with the omega corp she was a natural choice to lead the assault, something she agreed to as they planned to cripple the Corporation by taking out the Master Manufacture and Veronica Rivers, the current director of the Omega Corp. Tanya was to act as leader and get a small group into the base to shut it down. On the way they encountered Genesis who was being escorted my multiple Omega Battlemechs to be executed. Tanya managed to distract the Battlemechs and evade them with her speed to let the others open fire on them and destroy them, with the exception of one which she managed to hack and reprogram it onto their side and naming it Cybershot, After freeing Genesis who explained that the Omega corp decided to pay back his years of doing mercenary work for Veronica by executing him for unknown reason. She then lead them onward towards the eventually arriving at the base that they believe the Master Manufacture can be found at. Arriving at the base Tanya was greeted by the A.I. in charge, Reginald who had worked with her previously in the Omega Corporation. After half convincing and half using her security clearance to get the group access to the facility she takes reginald from the system, who is more than happy to join her and leave his diminshed role in the facility behind. They go in fighting off the Omega Soldier's that attempt's to stop them and succeed in destroying the Master Manufacture. Afterwards Tanya runs off on her own ahead to take care of her mother personally. After reaching her mothers office, Tanya killed Veronica (The exact means are unknown as little evidence was left there but a scorch mark).Tanya did not stick around longer than necessary leaving the facility on her own after that job was done where she waited outside till the others left the facility. Either due to shock or due to the influence of Natasha, Tanya has no recollection of her confrontation with her mother. 
=== Bastion Event ===
With the recent loss of her mother it was decided by Draconus that Tanya would be better off staying behind and be given time to recover something she was not too happy to discover after learning the the master chief and a team of spartan's had been sent to free some prisoners from the Bastion Prison center. Deciding that there was no way she was going to miss out on the fun, she left on her own to infiltrate and surprise the team by joining up with them while the mission was in progress. Getting into the building disguised as a parselonian tracked down the team and joined them openly assisting in getting the release of the prisoners and using her lightning bombs to distract a swarm of Nyx suneater's that gave chase to them on their way out of the prison.
=== Smoking The House Event ===
The nyx attack on their home base was sudden and swift. Tanya was among the many that attempted to fight off the nyx forces but after the loss of her omega battlemech she was reluctantly forced into retreat along with those who remained (a few were killed or captured during the assault). The battle was chaotic and over nearly as soon as it began so the details of how she attempted to fight them off and how the group later to be known as the "Covenant" escaped is unknown.
=== Phoenix City Event ===
After establishing a new home in the ruins of the spirit of fire Tanya, changed from her experience at the nyx's mountaintop village and her newfound friendship with the nyx Tiresias, her earnestly towards helping the nyx lead Tiresias to have her meeting the other nyx generals who have decided to betray moros where she pledged to help the nyx however she can.
=== The Long Day Event ===
Having her feelings towards Moros soured even further Tanya was happy to join the covenant and get the nyx rebels on board to attack the main nyx base in full. Her part in the attack was to sneak in and deal with the Omega Ninja who was at the building on a meeting as well as find moro's location. With her was Alexandria Tess, General, and Zorona. The latter two were there to deal with Moros, the former omega ninja. Slipping through the hallway's and getting past traps she and the rest of the group eventually encountered Omega Ninja, Unfortunately all the years of fear and memories of her time with him overwhelmed her, making it impossible for her to compete as she froze up and he took advantage severing her right arm before Natasha was called in and removed Ninja from the area. Leaving Zorona to patch up her injury and the group to continue forward and rose in a less than happy mood. To the surprise of everyone when they did find Moros he had turned against the regulators and destroyed his own base along with them before meeting with Draconus And Zorona. When Tanya Heard that the nyx and Moros himself would not only be joining forces with them but moving in to their headquarters she immediately disapproved along with a few others and even more then after that as she left for The Slab which was accepting all of those who didn't want to live that closely with their former enemies.
=== Order Of Orion Event ===
During the werewolf crisis Tanya And Alexandria Attempted to put a stop to Aztec's rampage joined by one Of The Holodrones of Rear Admiral Isaac Deligne, who was posted in a facility nearby and had been around the slab. Tanya used her diamond spike magic to create a spherical barrier around Aztec with Alexandria keeping him from breaking it by regenerating the damage. eventually they manage to succeed and Tanya makes no attempt to hide her dislike of leblanc before running off.
=== ONI Event ===
When the attack on the slab began it was chaos all over between the regulator forces attacking the buildings and people and the dragon forces attacking the regulators it was difficult to maneuver. Attempting to lead the charge Tanya, having split up into multiples using her shadow clone technique was running around providing support, distractions, and helping people avoid regulator forces and fire by giving directions and scouting out the area from multiple places. The part she played in the chaos almost certainly saved many of the rebels lives. Deciding that they needed to try and get ONI out of the regulators, Draconus sent Tanya and Cassandra to infiltrate ONI HQ and speak with then acting director Fhajad a former ally and someone they thought they could turn onto their side. Deciding to be a little competitive the two engage in a race to get their with Tanya winning, Though Cassandra claims she cheated slowing her down with a shuriken. Upon infiltrating the base the two separate, Tanya slipping through the hallway's and passed spartans eventually gets caught and chased down by machines with hardlight weaponry. She creates a diamond barrier to protect herself but is Seemingly trapped until Maahe's shows up and melts the opposition. helping her out and promising to do so in the future if she ever asks. Cassandra ends up trapped in a room of anti-magic runes and Tanya and Maahes have to go and help her. Tanya destroys the runes with her paperbombs but Maahe's is captured by leblanc using iron chains and Tanya And cassandra are forced to retreat, eventually ending up in a large room with giant scarab like machines. Working together using her shadow clone's and magic and cassandra's luxion forms the two manage to defeat and escape the rooms as they head into the depths of the facility to save maahes. Going down through a maintenance area the encounter they soon hear the fluttering of drones and Tanya starts to get nervous and in a matter of minutes they get swarmed. Cassandra attempts to fight them off as Tanya barricades herself in a dome of diamond which soon gets swarmed, causing her to freak out and spikes to shoot out from the dome and impaling the majority of the yanm'ee. When they do reach the bottom the find Maahe's chained up to a wall in agony from his restraints and Tanya sets to work planting paperbombs, As she begins detonating the paperbombs one of leblanc's holodrones floats down and materializes behind her planning to shoot her in the back of the head. Only stopped by now strengthened Maahe's who melts the device and escorts the two out of there just as sekhmet delivers a warning to humanity for trying to capture a god and with the help of General's frylator 3000 drops searing hot grease over the building and most of the city. When they return Draconus berates both Tanya and Cassandra for their failure but is threatened by Maahe's when he does the same to him. Maahe's leaves after his threat and Draconus angrily dismisses the two.
=== Christmas Day War ===
Tanya was assigned to team charlie and was for the most part frustrated and annoyed being trapped in a bubble with their forces and not being out in the action. When they were finally allowed to take action it was only for a few minutes as they were retreating to her dismay and she was forced to leave with the rest of them the mission a failure.With the sudden disappearance of Jake Keyes, General, and Zorona morale was low and the effects of their departure left many ill or vanishing. Tanya spent much of this time with herself or with Alexandria or the Master Chief.
=== New Covenant Event ===
Upon hearing that The Master Chief has mysteriously left the station From Dr. Halsey Tanya immediately decided to spring into action and investigate with Dr. Halsey's help. Using a blood sample from the chief, several pounds of raw meat, a mirror, a magic symbol drawn onto the floor, and an incantation she was able to track down The Chief's (Bracktanus) Position. However it was noticed by both Bracktanus and Varryc and canceled soon afterwards. With no one capable of long distance teleportation magic or access to technical teleportation and the possibility of losing him if they did not act fast she was forced to summon Natasha to deliver them to him. She and Halsey attempted to convince him to return and give the Chief his body back to no avail and using aeroluxion form he flew off before she could grab him and ended up running into a pile of trash and overturning it. Above the city though was the Antipater which had started to notice the activity due to Bracktanus's exit. With no choice left Natasha using her mark used the people to create a portal for them back and Tanya unhappily went through along with the more curious of the portals nature Dr. Halsey. Not willing to give up and call it quits after that little setback Tanya immediately began to work on a plan to get out and continue searching. Sneaking into Draconus's office while he was out she hacked into his supercomputer and using it to access the tattered remains of the Omega Corp. teleportation grid she teleported herself out into a random Omega facility. Once she arrived she started to check out the lab she was in she was interrupted by some scavengers who didn't take here presence there happily opening fire on her. One of the scavengers "Deuce" came to her aid and shot one of the scavengers in the back allowing her the opening to kill the others. Agreeing to team up for the time being She split herself into several dozens to search a larger area using the Omega teleportation grid to send them all to different facilities. The original Tanya and Deuce eventually get a clue as to where Bracktanus is at and go follow him. Tanya planning on using the same magic she used to restrain Anarluxion on Bracktanus and asks deuce to distract him till she gets the opportunity which he hesitantly accepts. As they reach his position it seems as if their plan is working Tanya's invisibilty not capable of being detected by either Bracktanus or Varryc. Still he asks that Varryc makes sure that he is alone and in the process of putting his hand through Deuce he does the same with Tanya who had been hiding behind him and tells bracktanus that he's not alone. Discovered she makes herself visible and argues again that bracktanus should return back to no avail and she decided that she won't leave him alone either. Not until he returns home with her.---------Missing info---------- Tanya finds herself, Deuce, Cassandra, Bracktanus, Varryc, and a Hunter and child pair in an omega facility that bracktanus is attempting to gain access to. Reluctantly agreeing to help Tanya begins to deactivate the security system for whatever is in the vault Bracktanus wants leaving the rest to deal with the still somewhat functional security. When she had finished it opened up to reveal one of General's skulls, The Blind Skull, and the fluctuation on power summoned a force of vigilants on the place. Sending magic machine hybrids the group initially had trouble dealing with them neither Tanya or the hunter doing any permanent damage but varryc managed to destroy them through something akin to magical warping. and the group began their retreat as vigilant ships opened fire on the omega facility to destroy them. They escaped to a small town to hide and look for a way to contact draconus as they all decided to return Bracktanus shaken completely by the effects of the skull had given varryc it to hold.The first thing they notice while searching the place is a small church with what appears to be a symbol of the Lavian Masume mark of power on it side of it. they are turned away from actually going inside though and Bracktanus and Cassandra begin arguing out front. Curious and not interested in their arguing Tanya leaves to a secluded area, uses her invisibility jutsu, and then returns and sneaks inside the church. Inside to her shock was a large statue of Natasha Williams who is starting to gain steam as a goddess to some denizens and groups on the superplanet. Unnerved but still curious she sneaks further in to find a group of jackals standing guard in a hallway, bored but still watching the door close enough that they'd notice it opening. As a means of diverting their attention she uses her magic to form some spikes of diamond on the walls which the greedy jackals notice soon after and quickly begin trying to remove them from the wall, allowing her to sneak behind them and get in side. The contents of the room mostly unimportant she does notice a computer terminal and using her omega smartcomputer hacks it and gets a message to Draconus their location and need of a pickup before sneaking out and returning to the group. Unfortunately for them one of the so called believers was a regulator and a moloch in disguise who calls for reinforcements attracting the vigilants they had not Quite shaken off. they go and hide up on the roof. Before they are caught though Draconus and Aztec arrive in a small ship to escort them to safety. The group is picked up and they immediately retreat trying to avoid enemy fire as best they can. The ship after having taken some fire begins to go down. as they crash they go out to discover that they have been pulled into the Haven. Exiting the ship to examine the damage and where they ended up Tanya reunites with Nightwings children and sets off to explore with Aztec accompanying her, having been unofficially arrested prior. During this time she met the elven leader Kael who was impressed with her skill and a number of Nightwings friends before the ship was fixed and they were able to return home. 
=== Regrouping Event ===
The very second the arrive back on the Nascent, Draconus not only confiscates the blind skull but has Bracktanus, Duece, And Tanya arrested on the spot. At the directors request Aztec asks for Tanya to turn over and an all weapons she may have on her and her omega wrist computer, which she does so after a few minutes of being coy about and has him promise to give them to Alexandria to place into her house (due to the security measures and stolen Omega tech she used to build the place, entrance is all but impossible and most certainly suicidal to those that don't have the proper clearance). It's then she is taken, to her surprise, a wholly new section of the Nascent. A super prison built to contain the most dangerous criminals and render escape impossible, being guarded by an extremely slow elevator, a constantly shifting maze maintained by the stations A.I., Guarded by the creature Drez, and run by the Warden and Tsiktsik. She along with the others are put into single solo cells and locked away, though with draconus's permission she makes a deal with the watcher that she not be supplied with nourishing while she be locked in that cell. Some time passes as Draconus plans to put her to trial while Dr. Halsey attempts to bring the Master Chief outside of Bracktanus, eventually deciding the only way to save him is to have Tsiktsik, Blue team, and Tanya go inside and rescue him. a task which Tanya whole heartedly jumps for and Draconus extremely reluctantly agrees to allow. Using one of her jutsu's Tanya's consciousness leaves her body and enters the body of Bracktanus both of whom's cells were made adjacent for the process and tsiktsik using his own psionic abilities brings his own mind as well as Fred, Linda, and kelly's mind into his. They arrive on a grassy island water all around them and ahead they find a broken building with a table and tea set. Almost immediately they are set upon by distorted amalgam soldiers many of which looked mostly similar to promethean soldiers. Tsiktsik conjures weapons for blue team to use while Tanya mostly fights them off bare handed, splitting her consciousness into her seven fragments to help overwhelm and give her the edge to survive. They fight them off for a little bit but the soldiers just keep on coming so instead they are forced to move forward heading towards a cave on the coast. -----TBC----- 
=== Sheriff Of The Mines Event ===
While the original Tanya was being arrested and being brought to prison one of the many Tanya's created to search and find Bracktanus found herself in trouble. Having with difficulty been translocating from Omega facility to Omega facility this Tanya (hereby to be called Amy.) found herself in a facility with active Omega Soldier's that opened fire at her the moment they saw her. As she went to take cover behind a desk she received a call from herself (a different Tanya) who was looking to talk to one of herselves out of boredom. Utilizing some Omega anti-matter grenades she had obtained throughout her journey she tosses one to clear an opening out the only available doorway, Decimating The closest Omega Soldiers she takes the opportunity to run out, zipping through the hallway Dodging as much fire as she can while absorbing what she can with a personal shield generator, before she slides down an inactive gravity lift and runs out the front door. Outside she finds herself and the facility on top of a muddy dirt mountaintop surrounded by dozens of other dirty mountains with a near constant hurricane level winds, not having time to really think things through though she keeps running down into the basin between mountains and then up as she climbs her way away from the facility trying to put distance between herself and it. It wasn't terribly long before having climbed to the top of one mountaintop that she discovered a small town built in between the basin of a group of the mountains, suspended on a flat surface built some distance off the bottom. Curious she decided to go down and explore. running down to the town as she began to look around. She has hardly been in the area for more than a few minutes before a few jackals began to harass her. Just as soon as they began approaching her though the town's sheriff, Rykuur showed up to investigate the commotion. He shoo's them off and then starts questioning her, (the town's population is all alien, not a single human residing there) on the spot she say's she's Amy alea, a Omega scientist who was exploring the nearby facility before being chased away by active and possibly rampant Omega's. Unfortunately not having any citizenship papers or anything official besides the strangeness of her visit he handcuff's her and restrains her in a constraint field to take her to the station for questioning. Amy continues to try and convince him activating her personal energy shield to glow as if it's a rainbow and pleads that she needs to continue her investigation on the facility. Her pleas though fall mostly on deaf ears but out of seemingly nowhere another human steps out, a very handsome man in a fancy white suit, with a perpetual spotlight on him bringing out the utmost beauty of his skin, his blue eyes, his luscious blond hair, and his winning smile. Introducing himself as Vasiliy, an information broker, he corroborates Amy's story. Saying that he and his partner while investigating a job saw her chased away by these Omega soldiers. His paperwork checking out Rykuur agrees to Vasiliy's to let him accompany them to the sheriff's office, to Amy's chagrin as she immediately takes a dislike to him and his flirty and gentlemanly countenance. Arriving at the sheriff's office Amy's surprised to see that it's actually rather small and quaint not the large impressive facility she thought it might be. There they are introduced to Rykuur's adopted son Baram, his sangheili wife, and their strange pet. They first hand got to witness an aspect of Baram's unique disability when Vasiliy, intending to do a magic trick borrowed a piece of fruit from a desk causes baram to flip out and start trashing the room thinking it was stolen before the sheriff escorts him away with promises of replacements.During their time alone Amy begins questioning Vasiliy almost as soon as their alone, just as much due to her suspicion as her dislike of him. It end up being more frustrating then informative as he deftly sidesteps her questions with expertly vague non-answers as well as turning them back to her and pissing her off making her lose her cool and focus. When the sheriff returns after a few questions and a conversation with his superiors he decides to make a deal with Amy. If she can repair his specialty prison, originally of Omega design, he may let her go as it would prove her story. With no other option but to accept she agree's and asks to see this containment cell. The cell in question utilized a it's own dimension of darkness with to contain prisoners and had sprung a leak, necessitating the wearing of special headware to see in the pure darkness. What Amy finds in there is less an Omega device an more a unique ONI device, the machine having been reworked and modified so much, to her surprise and annoyance. Deciding to take a deeper look she tries to open up a panel, revealing a personal hyperion A.I. within the machine that instructs her not to physically tamper with the device. Choosing to gamble on the original Omega's diagnostic code she inputs it and it remains within to her surprise. Less fortunately though the A.I. finds nothing at all wrong with the device and believes it to be fully operational, a problem as the leak is obvious to Amy and everyone else. Not wanting to physically tamper with the machine too much at this stage she turns to report her findings, forgetting what's she's wearing and being momentarily blinded by the outside light and vasiliy, Causing her to swear repeatedly and rip off the goggles and throw them in to the room behind her as she exits. Amy reports her findings to which Rykuur Say's he'll contact ONI about.but first that Amy needs to be treated for darkness exposure to which he apologizes.as he has her sit down before activating a machine to treat her Which nearly instantly begins to burnn her skin and her insides as the excruciating pain envelops, her past association with the Lavian Masume mark of power only worsening her displeasure.
=== Trial Of Tanya Rivers Event ===
==Personality==
Outwardly Tanya is an energetic and cheerful person with a harsh edge able to discuss all the ways a mission could go wrong with the same upbeat gusto as she would use when talking about her favorite songs. Unlike many other spartan's Tanya has no problem fitting in with other civilians, easily able to speak and interact with others normally. Despite her normal friendly demeanor Tanya has trust issues usually keeping people at arm's length and only rarely does she let people truly know the real her. She is very adept at manipulating people and just as capable at getting under other's people's skin, easily able of of finding the flaws in the arguments of others and throwing them back. Despite being very intelligent and quick to adapt she is rather impulsive, She just as often carefully considers her plans as she does charge without thinking often leading her into trouble that otherwise may have been avoided. She can also be rather scatterbrained quickly abandoning one project out of boredom and moving onto something different. Tanya is both confident in her own abilities and appearance but she's also insecure. Tanya has the bad habit of blaming herself whenever something goes wrong around her and refusing of letting go or moving on from the past, frequently becoming depressed due to that fact. Prone to random mood swings can go from happy to depressed or to angry quickly and without warning. Tanya has a very nihilistic and cynical world view, having long since stopped believing in god after witnessing so many atrocities and believing that humanity is too corrupt and evil to be worth saving. 
==Appearance==
==Weapons==
Shuriken- Small flat knives with multiple points used for throwing at the enemy. Can also be left in the ground to serve as a trap to injure someone careless enough to walk onto it and be used as a melee weapon in a pinch.
Kunai- Multipurpose Knives designed for stabbing and thrusting and even capable of being an effective throwing weapon. Tanya uses four types of kunai. A pair of dragonforged kunai for magical creatures, numerous kunai that using Omega technology ignore and go through shields as if they weren't there, numerous kunai that are capable of clashing with weapons like the plasma sword, And sharper thinner kunai that is better suited to cutting. The most common weapons In her arsenal that she uses. 
Exploding tags- Slips of paper with special writing inscribed on them. As their name suggests they explode either on a timer or remotely. As they are slips of paper they are easy to hide and conceal. How this works is currently not known 
Flameburst Bomb- A small red sphere that when hitting something explodes in a burst of fire. Exactly how it works is unknown
Snowmelt Bomb- A small blue sphere that freezes the area around it (Including the target) when thrown. If hit or activated in midair it will explode into a large chunk of ice becoming a large projectile. Exactly how it works is Unknown
Spark Bomb- A small yellow sphere that explodes with a large burst of electricity. Exactly how it works is unknown.
Flash Grenades- Grenades that instead of harming the enemy instead temporarily disorients them with a blinding flash of light and an intense booming sound. 
Smoke Bomb- A bomb that when dropped or thrown with sufficient force releases a large amount of smoke to conceal the movements of the user or to disorient an enemy.
Senbon- Small metal needles that are hard to see or dodge but have little killing power on their own. Can be poisoned for increased usefulness. Due to their small size they can be easily hidden. 
Kusarigama- A metal chain with a sickle on one end and a heavy iron weight on the other. Useful for bludgeoning, Slicing, and entangling one's foes. 
ninjatō- A japanese short sword with a straight blade.The scabbard of the blade is much longer than that of the blade itself.The reasons for the extended scabbard is not really known, whether it's an attempt to catch people off guard who expect to be attacked with a longer weapon or a means to carry poisons. One of Tanya's more effective killing weapons and one she doesn't often use. 
Fūma Shuriken- An extremely large shuriken possessing great killing power and is extremely sharp. It's four blades are collapsible to allow for easy storage and due to it's size it's capable of being used as a melee weapon effectively. As it is far larger than that of a normal shuriken it's easier to spot and avoid or deflected in certain situations. 
Tessen- A japanese war fan. the outer spokes are made of heavy plates of iron that are designed to look harmless. The spokes themselves are sharp enough to cause considerable damage as a slashing weapon. Quite useful as a defensive weapon as well as a offensive weapon being effective fending off thrown weapons.

==Relationship With Others==
===General===
===Blade-Edge===
Of the spartan 5's Tanya and Blade-Edge got along the least. While they managed to remain civil during their off hours they would frequently get into arguments planning missions or assaults, Tanya believing that his methods were far too restrictive and inefficient. The fights only got worse as Tanya's mental and emotional state worsened and she began to make far questionable choices and endangering their mission. Despite all this she never thought he was a bad person just someone too rigid or inflexible with his thinking. So it came as a shock to her when she asked him and shark for help to free herself from Omega ninja and he refused even calling her a monster for what she had done. Tanya has never forgiven him for that, rarely speaking of him since then and when she does mention him it's never nice. 
===Shark===
Shark was one of Tanya's closest friends and for much of their childhood they were almost inseparable. they would tell each other anything and would assist one another during training whether they needed to or not. They helped each other through Alicia's death and even after Shark lost the ability to speak Tanya was the first of the spartan 5's to learn sign language to communicate with him. Despite their closeness as children they had begun to drift apart as both were suffering from pain brought about by the augmentations and their training. Eventually Tanya began distancing herself from him as she was doing to everybody else. As a result when she did eventually ask for help he was unable or unwilling to help. Since that happened Tanya has never attempted to seek him out or speak to him. She believes that he had betrayed her that day and has spoken of him very little since.
===Nightwing Ravenholm===
Nightwing has been on of Tanya's closest friends since they were brought together as the survivors of the program. Despite being a dragon Tanya never treated Nightwing any differently than she did any other person, including attacking him as she would anyone else that got on her bad side. Through all the bad things that would happen to her after she started training with Omega ninja he was there trying to help, Something she may have taken for granted. While occasionally annoyed with how protective he could be she would get him back with some playful Joking at his expense. Tanya could see that Nightwing had a good heart despite his overly violent tendencies and as such they were able to work well together and get along.
===Omega Ninja ===
There are few people that Tanya hates or fears like the Omega Ninja. Incorrectly assuming that Ninja would be an easier teacher more like Forseer than General, An assumption that would quickly and Painfully be proven wrong. A harsh and cruel teacher anything less than perfection and obedience was met with torture both physical and mental. Tanya rarely talks about her time training under him with only very brief mentions of that time. His influence on her is still easily seen, much of her combat style and attitudes toward combat and stealth as well as how to proceed during missions are not far off from his own. Her hatred of him is only outdone of her fear of him. While eager to kill him any signs of him can cause her to freeze in terror and the mere sound of a bee or wasp is enough to trigger her to flip out.
=== Natasha Williams ===
On the short list of people who Tanya hates and cannot stand Natasha is high on that list. Why that is and what exactly Natasha is to Tanya is a bit of a mystery though. It's possible that Natasha is the monster that she had begun to believe herself to be at her lowest point, someone who needlessly hurt and tortured people, someone who only viewed others as toys or playthings. It's also possible she sees Natasha as something she could have become had she not escaped from Omega Ninja. Whatever the reason Tanya can't stand her, Insisting that Natasha is no longer a part of her and refusing to talk about her or call her for help unless the circumstances are particularly bad. While her relationship to Natasha hasn't always been this way there is little known about their relationship beforehand.
=== Draconus ===
Since they first met Tanya has disliked Draconus, seeing him as inflexible a bit irrational in his views of other people. Being fully aware of his dislike for her, Tanya makes it a point to say or do things that she knows will upset. When he inevitably complains about her actions she will always be quick to point out that it was Draconus himself who started it. She does not outright hate him but as time goes on that may change.
=== Xandria ===
Despite difficulty towards getting along at first Xandria has quickly become one of Tanya's closest friends.
=== Aztec ===
Not knowing him very well and quickly picking up the fact that he does not like her Tanya doesn't particularly like Aztec. While she may not exactly like him she does attempt to be nice toward him for Xandria's sake, though if given the choice she would choose to not interact with him at all. 
=== John-117 ===
=== Orien Tomosaro ===
Tanya views Orien as a doormat void of an personality and beyond that has never really forgiven him for his part working with Creed. She doesn't hate him all that much though instead at least not to the same degree as most of the people she dislikes instead he seemingly frustrates her more than bringing about any real feelings of hatred. 
=== Genesis Trickshot ===
Having interacted with Genesis several times over the years due to him working for Veronica Rivers as a mercenary, Tanya soon learned to be disgusted by him and dislike him. She was first introduced to him when she was 13 and still in training with the spartan 5's where he briefly spoke to her before he went on his business on behalf of Veronica. It wasn't until she began to work for the Omega Corporation that she would get know him and realize how much she didn't like him, seeing him as a womanizing pig who's far more interested in making money then helping others. As a result of seeing him as a immoral creep, Tanya tends to treat him with disgust or violence, but only if avoiding him completely isn't an option.
=== Omega Forseer ===
Tanya trained under Forseer for a brief period of time to learn and hone her magical ability. From what little is known Tanya was a difficult student and fairly resistant to his lessons. Tanya respects Forseer's ability but has issues with him that she which she has never really elaborated on.
=== Veronica Rivers ===
Tanya has always had a strained relationship with her mother, always trying to gain her mothers approval but never really succeeding. After having been abducted into the Spartan 5 Program the time she spent with her mother became very limited, even with frequent visits to her family her mother was usually away at work. On rare occasions when veronica was home she was distant and cold, infrequently receptive to Tanya's attempts to talk to her. As she got older their relationship only declined as veronica who was only concerned about her work had no qualms about telling Tanya how little she cared about her. Despite all the hurt feelings Tanya persisted eventually getting a job at the Omega Corporation and even studying under her in a futile attempt to get an actual mother-daughter relationship going. It never worked and to this day her mother is a sore spot for her. Tanya's feelings about her mother are bitter and despite continual attempts to get a relationship going she never has anything good to say about her, usually only bringing her up to explain what a horrible, cold person she was.
=== Caenna ===
Caenna is one of the few that Tanya would consider a friend. Having met him after having been sentenced to a slow death and being exiled from his people while they were beyond the gate Tanya was more than happy to have him join along with the rest of the group. During the adventure she did get to know him a little bit even being joined by him on a small solo adventure during one of her many excursions away the group. She treats Caenna in a very similar way as she does Nightwing, though with far less violence and less jokes made at his expense.
=== Reginald ===
Reginald is someone Tanya would consider a friend having worked with him several times during her time at Omega. She is frequently exasperated with his insistence on using her real name and argues with him constantly about her work, despite that she still gets along with him fairly well and has little issues with trusting him in and out of combat.
=== Bracktanus ===
=== Others ===
With her trust issues and paranoia Tanya does her best to keep to herself rarely divulging personal information about herself to others whether they be civilians or even people she is supposed to be working with. However instead of acting introverted or aloof when dealing with others she acts like a normal teenage girl with a bubbly personality, rarely breaking the facade.
== Known Powers And Abilities ==
=== General ===
Hearing- The only of Tanya's five senses to be augmented her hearing is exceptional able to hear the heartbeats of others, footsteps of those all around her and loose change and armor that makes noise that others wouldn't hear. As well as that her hearing range is farther than normal humans and she is far more easily able to find and focus on a single sound even in on a busy street. Useful as this is for her her increased sensitivity makes her more susceptible to sonic attacks and may be reason why she herself rarely uses a gun, the sound of firing may cause her discomfort.
=== Magic ===
Diamond Spike(s): One of the very few magical spell's Tanya can perform and the one she uses most commonly. By Placing one of her hands on the ground or a wall she can summon spikes of diamond which she can manipulate for both offensive and defensive use.
Strings Of Destiny: This magic should it connects binds the user and the recipient's spirit together, preventing the target from movement or casting magic as well as the caster, should the victim while entangled be injured than the caster is damaged as well. This magic works on beings composed entirely of magic but little else is known about it.
Curses- Supposedly she is able to curse people using some manner of incantation. More info is needed on this particular ability.
=== Ninjutsu ===
