The Rainbow Raiders

The Rainbow Raiders were a colorful group of heroes prophesized by The Iron Legion to be the actors that would bring with them the best possible outcome for the chaos that was to come. The group combated the spreading plague known as Imperium Fungus, they were also known for making Taernsby a safe haven in these troubling times. They had eventually put an end to the disease, then when The Daybreak Empire extended it's reach too far, they destroyed the Empire as well as The Nightfall Resistance that opposed them. The group consisted of five members: Layton Ash, B1U3, Viola Fairfield, Magenta, and Mahogany Sainte

## The Party

### Layton Ash

974 AG -

A Human Wizard and Paladin from the Iron Legion, Ash was sent by this group on a mission that even he knew little about. All he knew was that this group was prophesized by Factitious (the god of The Iron Legion) to be the ones to prevent a coming apocalypse of unknown origin. His goal would be to guide the group on their prophesized journey while also keeping an eye out for signs of the coming apocalypse. Since he could grasp the concept of power, Ash had wanted to attain as much as he possibly could. As such, he strove for the most powerful position any one being can occupy: High Elder within the Iron Legion.

He aimed to get into the party's good graces and, hopefully, never need to reveal his secret. But unfortunately, the party grew more suspicious of his overly non-offensive attitude and his secretive behavior. As such, he had to disclose his background in order to prevent losing their trust. Since this moment, Ash had only grown more and more apathetic toward the "heroes" he was babysitting, and to make matters worse, he would discover that he was no better than them, the organization he belonged to had stripped him to his rank and branded him as a subject to be studied, like the other members of the party. Naturally, as a subject, there was no way that he could ever even rejoin the Iron Legion, let alone lead it. But Ash had a plan. Speaking with the captured Lich King, Ash had formulated a method to methodically alter the prophecy in such a way that he would become prophesized to become High Elder.

And following the downfall of the Daybreak Empire, he did exactly that. As High Elder, Ash would shape the Iron Legion to his liking and privately execute any of those that doubted his methods. Ash would continue to gain power wherever he could while pulling the strings from the shadows, and after becoming a lich in his adventuring, his reign as High Elder was sure to last for many years to come.

### B1U3

? AG -

A Warforged Barbarian who remembered little of his past except falling from the sky before being repaired by a gnome. The gnome seems to have also slightly modified B1U3, as he has a large switch on the back of his next that determines whether he is a passive, gentle giant, or a hulking beast of metal, destroying anything within his warhammer's reach.

The group's travels eventually brought them to Eden, the City in the Sky, it was here that B1U3 discovered other Warforged crafted very similarly to himself. Searching through the city, he found a secret chamber containing nine elite units that would have been used to drop to Terrestra below, wrecking havoc on any enemy unfortunate enough to have been nearby. The first three units were missing, as such, B1U3 also discovered what his name truly stood for: Battalion 1 Unit 3. Soon after this discovery, the chaotic-in-nature Gurac (ex-member of the famed Johnny and the Jets who lead them to the floating city) revealed that it was he who repaired B1U3 when he fell from the sky, further informing him that he violently attacked anything that came near him when Gurac found him. So Gurac subdued him, then repaired him, granting B1U3 access to his passivity mode that he was previously cut off from. After speaking with Gurac, B1U3 discovered that by placing the switch between the two modes, he could swap between them at will. And after some thought, B1U3 decided to embrace his violent side, as the best way he could protect his allies from harm would be by eliminating the source of the harm.

When the party had activated an ancient factory that created warforged, they had discovered a method to upload B1U3's personality to each created warforged. As such, B1U3's consciousness can jump from one to the next, and he is capable of perceiving the senses of each machine all at once. Utilizing this ability, the Raiders instated B1U3 as the leader of each town, establishing centralized leadership that could send a message to any other town immediately.

### Viola Fairfield

979 AG - 1067 AG

A Changeling Synther who artificially spellweaves using the drug known as Apotheosis. Little can be said about her time before joining the Raiders, as she grew up with distant parents who had adopted her, and with her changeling abilities, she would often get lost in someone else's role to the point that she would begin to lose her own identity.

When she and her party journeyed to The Sunken City in search of a cure to the spreading plague, she encountered her birth parents, who had hid from civilization because they were discriminated against in most cities due to being changelings. Her mother was also a synther some time ago, but had succumbed and became an apotheosis mutant. This was quite the wake up call for Viola, who knew that the mutants existed, but had never seen one up close like this, especially not one linked so closely to her. Viola made efforts to stop her use of Apotheosis after discovering this, but was soon harassed by the gang that she buys the drug from, to ensure that she continues to be a valued customer. Though Viola's old habits would not define her, and she resisted the recurring urge to regain the power that she had once had. Instead she had occupied her time tinkering with mechanical devices and became a skilled Artificer.

Following the downfall of the Daybreak Empire, Viola had decided that her adventuring days were done. With her profound wealth acquired from her accomplishments, she settled down in Grimharbor, opening an alchemical shop with the help of Mearla Moongleam of Johnny and the Jets fame, who had decided she had spent enough time in seclusion and would grow plants for Viola's potions.

### Magenta

978 AG - 1075 AG

A Tiefling Rogue hailing from the library of Bibliotheca. Magenta spent most of her life studying the lore of the world before joining the Raiders, and has several of her favorite stories memorized and ready to recite.

When venturing into The Sunken City, the tiefling found herself attempting to discern the use of some old world tech before it blew up in her face... quite literally. She ended up being extremely close to an explosion that caused an incredible ringing in her ears, but as the ringing disappeared, so did her hearing. Luckily she knew Non the Handspeaker and Nokkrato the Unhearing, two Residents of New Taernsby that know a language spoken using hand signs to communicate. Learning from each of them, Magenta gained the ability to speak in hands.

Once her adventuring days were over, Magenta would travel the world collecting knowledge for her library, making it the largest source of knowledge to exist, even in the relatively short time that she had to collect it.

### Mahogany Sainte

~974 AG -

A Mana Creature Sorcerer who lived as one among many different beings which believe themselves to be Mahogany. Many years ago, Mahogany was born into a kingdom within the Feywild, daughter of the king and queen. Her parents had loved her dearly, but the king knew that because Mahogany was born a female, she could not replace him as his heir, and his kingdom would fall into the hands of his illegitimate son, Jericho. Wishing to prevent this, the king sought to find a way to alter Mahogany to become a male child, thus receiving his kingdom, though this went wrong many, many times. Mahogany had been cloned, duplicated, and altered so many times that she cannot even say for certain that she is the true, original Mahogany. While she was still young, Mahogany watched her kingdom be razed to the ground by Daybreak soldiers, though she and many of her duplicates had managed to escape to the material plane.

Within their travels, the Mahogany that the party had come to know had perished at the hands of Jericho, who had become an avatar of the Sun God Zenith, and fought for the Daybreak Empire. Jericho made it his life's mission to track down and eliminate each of the Mahoganys. Despite this, another person adventured with the party, who had all the memories of the Mahogany before her, and did not seem to understand the party's confusion, as by all means, they are the same person.

Upon encountering the Daybreak officer that had orchestrated her kingdom's murder, Iris, she would bide her time and await the perfect moment to eliminate her. The moment that Iris felt she could finally forgive herself for what had happened and actually move on with her life, forgetting the past and looking toward the future, that's when she will strike, to deprive her of that hope.
