Backstory:
For as long as she could remember, the Flidais family had looked after their own piece of the "wild" in Numeria, and as a young child, Thera had always expected for the land to pass onto her, however when her parents died in tragic circumstances when Thera was in her mid to late teens, she found herself owning the property much sooner than she expected. Largely inexperienced and unprepared for the responsibilities thrust upon her, she was quickly marked as a soft touch, and interested parties began to watch the land with interest. Of these interested parties, the Technic League was very aggressive, claiming the land contained important artifacts and thus belonged to them. Privately, Thera believed that the true reason the League were so antagonistic were because her parents had been outspoken worshipers of Erastil, of which more...extreme members had been particularly active in the region against League Agents.
Thera desperately tried to hold onto the land, but eventually was unable to find a satisfactory response to the "delegation" of a League agent backed up by four gearsman. An obscure reference was made to the possibility of the loss of her liberty if she stayed, and Thera took the hint, fleeing her home with next to nothing besides a burning hatred of the league and all it stood for.
Firmly believing in the philosophy that forewarned is forearmed, Thera began to research technology, painting herself as a supporter of the league and all it stood for, all the while determined to learn where it was strong, where it was weak, and so on. It became almost an obsession, to such an extent that she quickly reached the point where her knowledge of technology soon outstripped her knowledge of nature. Eventually, Thera realised that she could not take down the League on her own, and set out to prove to the public the sadistic nature of the organisation in the hope she could find other like minded people. She heard about the town of Torch and its crisis and suspected Technic League involvement, and thus decided to visit the town for herself. If the League had interests there, she would foil them, and if it was responsible for the shutting down of the Torch, then she would prove that to the townspeople in order to sow dissent against the organisation.
About the Character:
O.k, so I really wanted to play up on the issue of technology vs traditionalism, supported by "nature". Thera is a classic example of someone that actually dislikes technology, and has actually taken the extraordinary step of educated herself on technology itself, not only to make an informed opinion on the subject, but also for reasons of shutting down the League. I'm currently loving the conflict I have here, especially with the possibility of using "nature" against futuristic technology, and seeing the interactions there. I plan for Thera to largely act as a strong party face (something she would be happy doing in any case), while still being a fairly knowledgable character to fallback on. I don't plan on her picking up any technology based feats such as Craft X or Technologist (I'll leave that to everyone else), and primarily want her to see both sides of the "progress" debate.
