Freda Von Bohm - Wicked Science

[Bears]

(art by Gab, go bother them for stuff)

Spirit of the Machine, hear my prayer,
Guide this missile, hold it true,
Let it part their steel and weak armour,
And crack their cowardly skin,
And smite the foe from the entity sight.

One of the few surviving original members of the iron reavers, Freda was spared from the clutches of death after a scientific experiment in a petty attempt to reverse the effects of the Saekanis curse that spread through the clutches of Barsburg. Though not without a cost. Her mentor, Nero Aertas had put her through a number of augmentative surgeries and meldings with metal before his departure from Esshar. Leaving her more machine than flesh at this point, not that one could complain about it.

In her youth, Freda Von Bohm was one of your typical patriotic soldiers of the Barsburg military. Serving as one of the local engineers and doctors in the reavers division, a head filled with high hopes and ideas. She spent years mastering her skills, creating weaponry of war with her mentor and other members of the division. Though her medical experience had brought her to the darker sides of the empire, as experimenting on prisoners of war grew common in the city. But simply reminding herself that it was for the good of the empire is what kept her going on and not questioning her loyalty to the cause.

Summers and winters passed and as Freda grew older, She met one someone who could match her ferocity. Philip ras Petrakis was one of the few people who caught her interest and kept it. The duo kept it steady as time passed, eventually getting married in secret under a Therian priest. The whole situation was practically forbidden love, stretched out, and strained. They kept it together and held their love true until the clutches of the curse came sweeping through Barsburg and Theria. Her husband one of the unlucky few who fell to the clutches and found himself literally becoming an ookami. Despite all that, They did their best to remain together as the years went on by. Her husband assuming a new identity and supporting Freda during her time of weakness. One of the pillars that kept her sane.

Coming back to more modern times, Freda still exists amongst the populace in Achyon. One of her biggest and most pride-filled projects being one of the few hands that assisted in the construction of the entity, using her past knowledge in assistence to help upload the mechanical overlord with all the necessary information from past Barsburg generals and technicians. It was practically an omnissiah that contained the memories of fellow Barsburgians of the past, a large information vault and recordkeeper of those who were lost in time. An overlooking icon that she has the largest of pride for and practically treats it as one of her own children. Even if she was just another engineer on a large project.

However, Nothing could stop the remaining iron reaver from finding her way to improve society and better it. Having neurosynced herself with the entity in order to hear its wishes and secrets with the help of an implanted chip, She began to form a small group of those who too aligned with her mindset that humanity could do with some upgrades in terms of weaponry and bodily adaptions. Members of this unit being former iron reavers who survived through the struggles of time and hopeful initiates from the ranks, formed under a group that considers itself to be tech priests of the machine, to be short and simple.

While Freda and her group have the primary goal of keeping maintenance of the machinery around the city and ensuring the entity and its commands are heard. She also resumes her old tasks of engineering weaponry and armor for those who come knocking to her doors, and in more dire situations. Repairing the weak feeble flesh of those who found themselves wounded in these dire times, yet those who come to her for medical aid tend to find themselves a bit more metal upon their exit than they were before they arrived.

If you too would like to arrange some WICKED SCIENCE or get an earful of preachings. Maybe even get some weapons or armor and get patched up. feel free to yell at actual bear#3728 on discord.
