Tess (House Goliath)
.jpg)
Tess ''Arc-Up'' is a House Goliath Forge-born whose recklessness has caused its gangs to decide she is too dangerous to have around for long.[1]
This has led Tess to remain as a Forge-born for far longer than normal and she continues to take dangerous risks that she somehow keeps surviving. Tess does not know why she acts this way, but those who have fought beside her suspect it is the lightning in her blood. Tess's vatborn batch suffered a malfunction during their gestation when a grid overloaded and pumped hundreds of gigawatts of electricity into their amneotanks. Only Tess survived the accident, and when she emerged from her tank, she displayed strange qualities. This included being faster and more erratic than other Goliaths, which led her to becoming a shell-runner who repaired the outside of Hive Primus's walls, usually under the most horrific of circumstances. During this time, Tess's quick reactions and boundless energy kept her alive when many of her fellow shell-runners perished in ash storms or fatal falls. The danger of the shell was eventually not enough for Tess, however, and she soon started hiring herself out to gangs for Underhive brawls. While Tess's skill with her custom stormwelder and lack of fear in battle have made her respected by many gangs, none have seen fit to sign her on. Her feats have caused Tess to gather a following of her own, however, and the day may yet come when she runs her own crew, filled with wild prospects like herself.[1]
