## **History**

### Early Life

Masika was born to a family of farmers, who made a decent income through trade.  Though her family and ancestors had been farmers, since farming was considered a crucial and respectable profession, Masika had no interest in becoming a farmer.  She would often wander off to different places, observing any animals she would come across.

When she was 18, the Champion of Haiavan, Khaled El Aqil, announced to the Alexandrians that he would be choosing someone to replace him as the new Champion of Haiavan.  After observing several people, he saw Masika and her passion for animals, and chose her as his successor.  He handed down his powers to her, and she had officially became the new Champion.  Khaled trained her to use her powers, and in a week she had mastered it.  As Champion of the god of wildlife, it was Masika's job to maintain the animal population in Alexandria and neighboring cities.

### Invasion of Egypt

Masika saw the darkest moment when she was 22.  Egypt was being invaded by the Minoans and the Greeks.  They were invading by sea, and Alexandria became one of their first targets.  The Egyptian army stationed there failed to defend the city, and the enemies began killing the citizens and burning the city as they pass through.

Masika saw what was happening and decided to join the fight.  She used her powers to transform into various beasts to destroy the enemy army.  She was doing well at first, but was slowly being pushed back.  Wounded, she still tried to stall the enemy until Egyptian reinforcement could come.  Unexpectedly, other heroic individuals came to join Masika in her fight—A master swordsman, an archer, a mage, and a Champion of the sun god Radur.

Days of fighting wore them out, but the Greeks and Minoans were having a hard time advancing that they were forced to retreat from Alexandria.  Masika and the other heroes cheered, and they became known as the Centurions—Heroes of Egypt.  While they initially wanted to stay in Alexandria, Masika convinced them to travel to other places were the Egyptian army needed help.

Everywhere they went, they easily defeated the Greek and Minoan armies.  This went on for another 6 years, where Egypt was the victor.  What was supposed to be a glorious celebration for Masika became quickly overshadowed by a sense of sorrow, as she was the only surviving member of the Centurions.

### Multidimensional Threat Arc

While patrolling the waters just off the Alexandrian coast, Masika met Weston Wilde and Koba Soso, who were flying above the waters.  They explained that someone is threatening the multidimensions, and that they need her help.  Reminded by her friends' sacrifices, she agreed, and followed them to Francisco Lérida's dimension.

Masika was given her first task—to recruit another potential member named Arcana.  While persuading Arcana to come, the two were ambushed by a shadow clone created by Jake Riley.  Arcana managed to escape to Francisco's dimension, but Jake's clone unfortunately caught Masika and strangled her, crushing her neck and killing her.
