Paik

^{Ages 0-5}
Abandoned at birth Paik never knew their parents and was taken in by a group of street urchins, as soon as they were able Paik was put to work scavenging for coin, food and the like, during this time Paik was told they were a Drow. Around 5 years old they were playing hide and seek with the other urchins, trying to find a place to hide and in a panic Paik discovered their true self. Paik's life changed very quickly after this, as when the leaders of the urchin group found out they were scared of Paik, selling them to a local gang where they met Fate and Choice, Tiefling twins who were also new to the gang.

^{Ages 5-18}
Pre-Paik: Fate and her twin brother Choice, grew up being trained by a gang after their parents had given them up due to unpaid debts, the two were trained as pickpockets to help pay off their parent's debts.
Paik: After Paik was sold to the gang for their abilities, they quickly became a skilled thief and became close friends with Fate and Choice, often Paik turned into one of the two to provide a diversion and confuse their marks. During a botched job at the age of 10, Fate was killed by the target after being caught. After the event Paik vowed with Choice's permission to keep the memory of Fate alive by becoming her. Choice agreed on one condition, don't kill the man who killed Fate, haunt him with Fate's visage, make sure he never forgets. Paik has a soft spot in their heart for Fate, one of their first true friends and their first permanent alter ego. At 16 Paik and Choice were trained to become bounty hunters. At 18 they bought their freedom from the gang. Paik and Choice still work together when and where they can but since leaving the gang Choice has taken a quieter life.

^{Ages 18-26}
Pre-Paik: Sir Reginald Von Bartlesby, a relic of the old world, born of a noble family but the new age has left their power in the past. Reginald by all accounts is a kind hearted boy. Growing up he was taught to always be kind, caring, and respectful.
Paik: Unfortunately for Reginald, Paik wanted another alter ego. At the age of 18 Paik began studying Reginald's life while continuing bounties to sustain themself. Eventually Paik killed Reginald a week after the boy turned 15, taking over his life for the next 8 years. While study in Reginald's place Paik learnt the eloquence of a noble from various instruments to the rapier. None except Reginald's little brother grew suspicious after the swap, many passing off changes as Reginald going through puberty and getting ready to leave home. Once “Reginald” reached 23, he left the family to live his own life. Paik at this point was 26 and started accepting bounties again.

^{Ages 26-30}
Pre-Paik: Roshia Kelna, daughter to one of the richest families in the City of Cinders, she never had to lift a finger for anything only ever making demands of her caretakers, her parents rarely acknowledging her or spending time with her. She was spent her time frivolously shopping or hosting parties to gain any sort of attention.
Paik: Not many suspect she was replaced during her 33rd birthday party as only a few ever actually knew her personally, those who did know her or suspected something saw it as a gain as who ever took her place was sweeter, more thoughtful, more thankful. Better.

Paik in the guise of Roshia was taken in as a witness for a bank heist, being held as a high profile figure but was bailed out by a detective agency where Paik spent some time helping with cases and using their abilities and alternate personas to move cases along.
