Devyn Marin Kaifūka was originally from earth, specifically the American Midwest & west coast. Their father was a child of a Czech & English descent, and is where their surname Kafka comes from. Their mother, whose name was Kaifū Naomi, was full Japanese and who came from a line of immigrants who lived on the west coast. Due to the similarity of their surnames, David's parents decided to combine their surnames into a single unique one: Kaifūka. Devyn themselves was born on the west coast, but they moved farther in from the coast with their parents, where they spent the majority of their childhood and teenage years.

During the years in from the coast, Devyn's parents adopted a child, who was a few years older than them, as well as have two younger siblings being born, each a year or two between each other. The siblings relative ages being: Adopted, Devyn (-2 years), Younger 1 (-4 years), Younger 2, (-1 years). After an accident which caused the deaths of their parents and two younger siblings, they were moved back to the coast to live with their grand parents. The adopted oldest sibling had left for university roughly half a year before the accident and was not caught in it.

Starting around their preteens, Devyn became increasing interested in music, and eventually started doing their own music under the stage name "Nostika" which was inspired by the term 'Gnostic'. Devyn decides to keep their birth name when they discovered themselves to be Non-Binary due to it's unisex nature and its familiarity.

As a late teen, Devyn became the accidental victim to an early testing of spacial warping technology going through experimentation. From their perspective, they discovered a tear in reality, with no known cause, as the testing had been a secret at this stage. The tear is described as a tear due to its shape, which resembled one, and within it was pitch blackness with sparkling pin pricks dotted within it and a shimmering unstable border glowing iridescently.

## **Affinities**

### [ Ferrous Affinity - Energy Transference ]

Devyn has an Elemental affinity for iron, specifically energy transference. This means that they can teleport energy across space with almost no cost, as long as it is between two pieces of iron. The farther the distance between the two pieces, and the higher the cost will be as well as a decrease in efficiency. Different types of energy have different ranges in where they start to lose efficient / higher cost. Thermal has the highest range, while kinetic has the lowest range. She can also stockpile energy within pieces of iron as well as transform the type of energy between two different pieces, though there is a cost to doing so.
