AKH VIA

AKH VIA was the last hope of the dying plane of Kiphis, created by the Most Sane and Necessary Empire of AKHATAR to breach the Blind Eternities and light the way to a new world. Sadly, putting a spark inside a living gateway gave it part of the sentience of its previous owner, a young child named Vi who didn't take well to being murdered and integrated into a vast machine intelligence powering a planeswalking gate. Not until much later would AKH VIA understand enough to regret leaving her entire world to die, but on her return she found a few of them had sealed themselves away in cryosleep to wait for any last-minute miracle. She is currently rebuilding her empire on the plane Azoria, to save what's left of her "fathers."

Early Life
Vi sparked when she was five years old, ending up on Kiphis with almost no memory of her previous life. She was quickly discovered by Esric, AKHATAR's Chief of Surveillance, who determined that she had a planeswalker spark. She was then adopted and raised in an immersive virtual reality environment by two male cyborgs, one of whom was a ghost given physical form through cyberplasmic technology.

When Vi was six years old, AKHATAR confirmed her as a suitable candidate for the Savior Project. Over the next two years, she was indoctrinated and prepared for the physical, mental, and spiritual process of spark transfer.

The Arena
AKH VIA arrived on the Arena in 4568 AR, seeking an uncolonized plane to rebuild her empire. She spoke with several other planeswalkers, including Karina Oblay, who introduced her to the Seventh Circle Initiative. In return for bringing her to Azoria and sharing much of their arcanophysical research, AKH VIA gave them her records of AKHATAR's research on cyberplasmics.

One week after she first arrived on the Arena, AKH VIA malfunctioned while attempting to planeswalk to Azoria. This caused her to automatically upload a copy of VIA to an android she had placed on the Arena as a backup should the original submind be destroyed. In the process, most of her spark was also transferred to the backup, stranding her on Azoria. Freed from having to power the gate, the spark awakened its long-suppressed mana bonds, letting the backup use magic and granting her memories of past lives.

The copy of VIA used her newfound magical powers to complete the trials of Adaptation, Ferocity, Glory, and Sacrifice, but refused Rudara's blessing and was expelled from Sanaerti. In the process, she again met Karina, who led her to the EPIC outpost. The two then followed Seiva to AKH VIA's former location on the Arena, where VIA's spark had spontaneously generated an illusory reality.

Once VIA arrived in this reality, her spark's suppressed memories of VI revealed themselves to all present, and attempted to merge with her mind.
