## Lore

**Vyce** brings raw power, energy, and chaos to the Pro League in unmatched quantities. The sheer wall of sound she channels through her guitar is enough to send an entire opposing team flying off the arena. And as **Vyce** sees it, she's just warming up.

**Vyce** was born just minutes after her twin sister, Octavia, and always felt like she was growing up in her shadow. While Octavia was precocious and could curry the favor of all around her, **Vyce** was loud, disruptive, and always wanted to do things her own way. Despite their differences, the two were inseparable, and **Vyce** looked forward to the day where they could live their rockstar dreams together. She cherished the guitar Octavia got her for her birthday and would carry it with her everywhere she'd go. She even managed to find ways to use it on the Corestrike fields when the two would play together.

The two sisters were naturally skilled musicians and, recognizing their daughters' talents, **Vyce's'** parents put her and Octavia into a music conservatory in their early teenage years. The conservatory wasn't a comfortable place for **Vyce** - the instructors were strict and her loud, raucous style of playing was frowned upon. Even worse, **Vyce** could feel distance growing between her and Octavia. Instead of being excited to craft compositions together, Octavia seemed caught up in her own pursuits, leaving her sister behind. **Vyce** felt abandoned and found new friends who appreciated her rebellious spirit.

The two graduated from the academy and went their separate ways. **Vyce** became an icon of the underground punk scene, but her work never found great commercial success. While she would put on a strong, defiant, face to the outside world, **Vyce** was distraught at the loss of her relationship with her sister and the scuttling of the dreams she had crafted alongside her since they were children.

A few years after graduating from the musical academy, **Vyce** was booked to play as an opener on a side stage at Ahten's biggest music festival, while her sister would be headlining the event. After a lively set, **Vyce** was suprised to find her sister waiting for her backstage. Seeing her sister brought all of **Vyce's** resentment to the surface and the two got into a heated argument. In a fit of rage, **Vyce** stormed off, spending the rest of the festival locked away in her trailer.

A few days later, **Vyce** was again surprised to have received a message from Octavia. Her sister offered that the two could return to one of their childhood passions and play Corestrike together as a way to work out their damaged relationship. **Vyce** couldn't believe her sister was sincere and initially rejected the offer, but after repeated prodding from Octavia reluctantly agreed. The two now step into the Pro League together - but will **Vyce** be able to calm her anger, control her resentment, and reconcile with Octavia?
