Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
Julia Wells, significant other of Ian Caladharas. Julia co runs the Wells Hotel in Erech’s Clocktower District. For those people who have rpg’d in this world: The Wells Hotel is now known as Cytheron’s. Julia and Ian tied the knot in the City of Greyrest in the Crossing Territories.
Could be self inflicted, knowing that “reboot” was possible, or as an out right attempt at suicide. Could also have been something as tragically mundane as a hunting “accident”).
If Adah still has an identifying scar from some very long time ago, she would also show a scar of some kind if someone tried to blow her brains out with a gun. Alternatives like blunt trauma, bleeding out, or neurotoxic poison come to mind. In a world where nanotech exists it’s even possible something like a stroke was induced. Adah couldn’t have been unconscious for very long or her body would have been nibbled at by woodland creatures.
On the other hand this looks very targeted and precise. There are no reports that Adah lost the ability speak or lost muscle coordination. Her brain’s processing seems unimpaired. The ONLY thing she seems to have lost is memory.
And chronological memory at that. She picks up skills like mad, suggesting that her muscle memory is more intact than her event memory. She could be relearning what she already knew how to do. Not to mention she still remembered her own name.
The likely narrative is Adah did this to herself. “Why?” being the $100,000 question…
I am amazed at how calmly Adah is taking this possibility.

Did the person pulling the trigger try to reboot her or murder her? Interesting problem.
