Xolotl

God of Fire and Lightning

# Character Information

## Background

Born in Aztlan, in the city of Chihuahua, Katita (Ka-Tea-Ta) lived with her mother, Sara, and father, Fernando. They did not have a lot of money growing up, but they lived a comfortable life together. Her mother home schooled her, and her father worked on a nearby farm (or so she thought). Her father was a very paranoid and cautious person, but for a very good reason… He was a drake… And maybe other reasons she had yet to understand,

She lived a seemingly ordinary life, for a girl living in Aztlan, raised by two mages… Her family taught her about culture, magic, and the old ways. Then everything changed when…She turned 15…  when a mana storm went through the city.  It approached quickly with no warning, and Katita was caught in it. Her father hurried the family into his doomsday bunker, knowing they would be safe in there until the storm passed, but the extra mana Katita encountered kicked the changes her father had always known about into action, and more… Her family was ecstatic.

The next few months of Katita’s life were nothing short of miserable. Not only did the storm trigger her dracomophisis, but it caused her to awaken, and SURGE, all at once. Neither of her parents were surprised by the change to a feathered drake, but when she began to sprout wings from her back, they knew this wasn’t the same. Knowing it would not be safe in the open for a new drake learning the ways of her magic and new body, her father chose to keep the family underground, despite Katita’s protests. By the time he felt it was time to come out, she was ready to get away.

But  by then, she’d spend far too long locked up with her parents, slowly piecing together their secret. They were followers of the Path of the Sun… And blood mages to boot… They had taught her quite a bit about it, about how sacrifice can be used to further your goals, and now not all blood mage was bad, but instead, they only proved how much control it had over people and their desires to gain power. They had been waiting for this time to come since she was born, and by the time she realized exactly what that meant, it was too late.

Chihuahua did not have the same grand temples that were present in Tenochtitlan, but they didn’t need it to be extravagant. They’d drugged her, dragging her out to the small temple they worshiped at, and waited for her to wake. She had to be awake. They’d explained to her that not only was she the ultimate sacrifice, but the dragon blood that ran through her veins would only further the power she offered.

She’d fought for her life. They were going to sacrifice her to their corrupt gods! What useless wings if they could not help her escape! But she managed her escape nonetheless, fleeing from the city, fleeing as far as she could go. She knew she needed to go further, so as soon as she was safe, she used what little resources she had to contact her uncle. She’d only met him once or twice when he came to visit. Her father always said he had a lucrative business in the UCAS, Seattle specifically… He arranged to bring her to stay with him, revealing he was a fixer, dragging Katita into the world of shadow running…
