Backstory
Race: Tiefling
Age: 19
Class: Fighter 2/ monk 1.
Jume grew up in New Zenturo, a city bristling filled with archaomancy and new technology. She grew up with her aunt Taejin in a penthouse apartment overlooking the Sun Disk district of Zenturo. Her aunt Taejin was a well-known racer and crowd favourite. Jume not only shared her Aunt's passion for vehicles, but also her reckless nature. Taejin and Jume were inseparable until Taejin suffered an "accident", which left her unable to participate in the racing scene. This caused Taejin to turn to the bottle and other substances and become abusive and violent and spend her entire fortune on such. Her aunt vanished one day and is currently hiding from her moneylender.
Left feeling betrayed, hurt and filled with misery Jume was left standing on the streets with only her small rocket board because the moneylenders eventually took the rest. Unaware of what to do next, she turned to her classmate and friend Sasame (Void Elf), who was a bouncer who worked at the club The Kitsune Kiss. He managed to persuade the clubowner
Arimtsu and get Jume a job there. One night Jume heard idle gossip from the patrons about an illegal race taking part, Jume thought it was a sign from above so she started preparing for the race. She ented up in 3rd place but it was only a start of many more races.
One of Jume's darkest secrets that only her patron Asher knows is during one qualifying race in Shaders Cup around one of her most familiar courses in the mountain known as Hell's Lid, Jume deliberately sped up right before a narrow pass causing an inexperience racer named Bozkah to lose control and drive the car over the cliff and dying. Jume's still not come to terms if her dangerous ambition is the cause or if it was just an accident. Her benefactor bribed the government and the accident didn't even make the Zenturo's Weekly.
She eventually ended up catching the eye of a very wealthy patron Asher Bluemoon
who convinced her to drop out of school and race for him.
She was lured by the lavish promises of fame, wealth and recognisation
but those turned sour when it was only when it suited the needs of Asher. Jume was asked to throw races in order to make him more money always with his ressurance that he would introduce her to "right people" and get her in the official racing scene
The illegal races where dangerous and Jume lost her leg but it was replaced with a mechanical one.
However what qualms Jume had about cheating it was overcome in those 45 minutes of pure bliss and freedom she felt when she was racing. She always sought to improve herself and hone her skill.
Jume was always beaten by this Shokko, an arrogrant aasimar, who thought everyone should worship the path they walked on.
The lifestyle her benefactor had provided for Jume lasted for a couple of years until She was asked to throw a crucial race where Shokko had disgraced Jume's aunt legacy,
Jume couldn't let them get away with it so she won the race and angered Asher and she decided not to stay for his punishment so she left New Zenturo until he calmed down.
On the way out of New Zenturo, Jume searched refugee in a Monastery,
She was feeling lost and the mediation and calmess was a nice break from her fast paced life. Though even her new mentor Sonia could not instill enough dicipline into Jume who was growing more restless each day especially with news reaching her that Shokko was now an rising star in the official Archraces.
