Tresh Learman

*'Can't you see what they've done to you, Tresh? They're never going to appoint you to the High Council, they're only using you as a weapon. You're barely even human anymore. If they truly cared about you, then they never would've pushed you past the safety limit. You're losing yourself.'* - Quinn Silvera - Act XI: Starting a Revolution

Tracine Learman, known in Exodex as Tresh, is a Lesser Council member and is a potential successor to Naruhito Kanai.

## Biography

Tracine is from a well off family in the heart of Exodex. Though, she hated the life she was given. She wanted more freedom and to make a life for herself. So, she left her home and brought an apartment on the west side of Exodex. She never realised just how hard building a life in Exodex was. It was too late for her to turn back to her old life. Tracine attempted to become a Gun for Hire but messed up on her first job. She’s a coward at heart, easily getting scared and flustered. Luckily she wasn’t alone, she was working with a mercenary called Silva, who helped her get the job done.

Tracine begged Silva to help her claim up the ranks of a mercenary. Silva took pity on the overwhelmed girl, so she introduced Tracine to a group of mercenaries. Tracine noticed that they all had nicknames and aliases. Silva’s real name was Quinn Silvera, the rest of the group had names like Mox, Nova, Link, Zen, even Quinn’s girlfriend went by Bex instead of Rebecca. The group went round in circles debating what to call Tracine, they came up with the name Tresh. She wasn’t too sure if she liked it, seeing as it sounded like trash. But she was bad at her job so she understood. From there on she went by the alias ‘Tresh’.

Tresh was never allowed to do jobs on her own, seeing as she always freaked out when things got ugly. She wasn’t climbing up the ranks as fast as the others were. Until the group got head hunted by a corporate owner, Naruhito Kanai. They didn’t realise that he was a High Councillor until they accepted the job. The job was messy, a lot of the group lost their lives. By the end of it, only Silva and Tresh walked away alive. The only reason Tresh lived was because Silva protected her. After the job, Silva swore to never work for corporates ever again. But Tresh on the other hand, got an offer from Naruhito. He offered her a place on the lesser council, and a place at his side in his business. Without the rest of the group to fall back on, Tresh had nothing. So, she took his offer and left for The Capital next day. Silva found out a few days later, everyone on the west side called Tresh ‘the sell-out’.

## The IX's Revolution

Tresh was sent by the Higher Council to track down and apprehend the IX before they could make it to The Capital. Tresh and a handful of The Capital's military was able to find The Medusa and decided to attack in efforts to stop the IX. Her and her team were defeated and taken hostage by the IX. She soon realised that her old friend Silva was one of them. Tresh was used by the IX as a way of having some sort of control over both of the Councils.

## Personality and Traits

Tresh is a shy and timid soul, whose cowardice gets in the way of most things in her life. She has little bark, and zero bite. She only ever feels brave when her cybernetics' are in use, but even then it takes one hit before she wants to curl up in a ball and hide from the world. She completely crumbles under any sot of pressure and is easily intimidated. Even though she used to be quite fond of her nickname, she now despises the name Tresh since joining The Lesser Council.

## Physical Description

Tresh has light brown hair that falls below her shoulders, and soft face that makes her look slightly younger than she is. In terms of her body, the majority of it has been replaced. Most of her body is now cybernetic, at the request of the Council.
