Bio: Onyx was born in Weaverville, California. She grew up visiting the coast and camping a lot. Her parents were big on family vacations, as it was the one time, where they didn’t have to worry about work interfering, or various school activities with her older siblings.
On one such outing when Onyx was seven, there was a terrible car crash. She was the only survivor. She was shipped off clear across the states to family in Knoxville, Tennessee. She missed California, and never felt comfortable in Tennessee. She also wasn’t all that comfortable in such a large city. She was a studious child in school, not much given to make friends really. She became a quiet child always with her nose in a book.
When she was ten she took apart her aunt’s vacuum cleaner wondering how it worked. Course she was caught with parts scattered everywhere. After a sound ass whooping, and sent to her room with no supper, she snuck out and got the bag of parts and pieces and put it back together in her room. When she was waked up the next day for school by her uncle, he was startled to see their vacuum put back together in the middle of her floor. After waking her, he asked if it worked. She shrugged as she hadn’t tested it, not wanting to wake anyone by that time. So they tested it and found it worked better then before.
At about thirteen, she found she liked building things, when one day she decided to build some medieval crossbow from a cross section she’d seen in a book. It actually worked, really surprising her. From there on it became a hobby.
At sixteen she found table top RPing with the few friends she did have by then. She loved using her imagination, and living in a different time. It was a lot like the books she read to escape from her reality temporarily.
Getting good marks in school, she graduated top of her class, and went on to even graduate from UT with a degree in Mechanics. She moved to Gatlinburg because it reminded her of Weaverville and all the things she missed. She even has her own Mechanics shop that was thriving quit well when the Cleansing happened.
