    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    History

    Ribcage was born just outside of the Chamber on January 2nd, 2016. Just after his birth, his mother was spooked from his side by a wolf pack, and was found by his estranged sister Aurane. Aurane, tempted to kill him was instead dazzled by the obscene strangeness of his lack of eyes, and stole him away from his crib.

    Rincage grew up alongside his niece, Lilin (though he knew Lilin as his sister and Aurane as his mother), acting as a guide and friend, in the Chamber's outskirts where their unhinged mother kept them mostly hidden away. As he got older, Ribcage begun to feel the rumblings of what was inside him, but was generally vulnerable and at the beck and call of his manipulative mother.

    One day, when Lilin and Rib had wandered away to the Meadow, Ribcage finally got a taste of his shifting. It came on unexpected and uncontrolled, scaring Lilin back to the Chamber where she told Aurane of Ribcage's ability. Thereafter, Aurane begun to use Ribcage's ability to her own benefit - on multiple occasions forcing him to harm his and Aurane's real mother, Crone, so that Aurane could steal more of her children for game. The fruit of that being a younger brother, Rake.

    At the end of February of 2016, at almost 2 years old, Ribcage took part in the war in the Chamber. He was attacked by Prague (in lioness form) and received several nasty scars in tiger form, as well as one of Vanquish's rock-clones. Scared but bloodthirsty, when he recovered from the shock of those encounters, a young Amazon girl (his and Lilin's age) ran into him. Without being able to think, fully consumed by the tiger's wants and desires, Ribcage attacked and killed her. After dragging her away from the battlefield, hoping to eat her, he becomes overcome with guilt. Before he can flee, Vanquish, seeing him kill Larken, traps him in with walls of sand, and rushes in, trying to trample him. Sand spilled over and buried him, allowing him to squirm and swim away and get loose.

    After the war, Ribcage took his siblings - Lilin, Rake and then eventually Woven - and sequestered himself and them to the very outskirts of the Chamber, hiding in caves, keeping mostly to his feral tiger body and trying to bury the image of Larken deep in his mind.

    When the Reckoning came, however, he found himself alone and blind on the Mountain, a perilous position, but after a few days was foun by Lilin, halfway down the slope and they made heir way down and searched high and low for Rake and Woven. Once reunited, the four of them found home in a cave at the foot of the Mountain and remained there until Kirin, a stranger, approached Ribcage in the Meadow and offered them a home, if they could take it, in Ischia. Ribcage collected is brother and sisters and headed over there, restless without his tiger form, still bogged down by regret and memories of the battle, and weary from trying to protect his family alone.
