Nor Karela

born in the osr's neighboring country algo, karela grew up in the care of older but unrelated orphans who had fished the sickly, crying child out of a cardboard box in an alley way. while this community of cast aways was nurturing as they could have been under the circumstance, karela itself was always restless for a "higher" and "better" life. it would often steal money to buy osr fashion and film magazines rather than food or clothing and was eventually kicked out of its pseudo family for these actions.

finally free of whatever ties the young child had felt for its caretakers, karela headed for the osr boarder and, after multiple failed attempts, managed to enter the osr by hiding in the wheel well of a military vehicle. once in orie, karela hitchhiked across the state via agricultural vehicles and the occasional kindness of traveling civilians. once it'd made it closer to the medius border, karela enrolled itself in one of the public school systems after striking a bargain with a girl its age who didn't want to attend but didn't want to be reprimanded by her family. 

karela worked tirelessly in these first years, building up a name for itself, while the girl it was covering for began to involve herself in the criminal underbelly of medius. by the time karela had reached high school, this girl had gathered her own dubious acclaim and, as thanks for karela's help, provided it with fraudulent documents stating that karela was, in fact, an osr born citizen. 

while karela longed to be a star in the entertainment industry, its various auditions always ended it with background roles, compared to gifted individuals who could shift shape or manifest their own "special effects". Discouraged but determined, karela dedicated itself entirely to school and eventually became an influential figure in nongfted psychiatry for gifted individuals, which landed karela it's current position at ennui.
