Coin Clink

Coin Clink is a kenku Augmented, currently in Action Surge. Well known for her precise strikes and robotic arm, she tackles most challenges with semi-controllable anxiety.

History
Coin Clink grew up in the now ruined town of Phlan for as long as she can remember. She was raised in a small smithery by a broad human man and his daughter, Gaius and Dorothy. She lived a calm and simple life, mimicking her family and working with them. While her life was peaceful, she longed for something. She would find herself staring at the sky incredibly often, wishing that one day she would be somewhere up there. But at that time, life was simple.

One fateful day, her home was invaded by the Maimed Virulence. She can’t remember much of the incident. All she can remember is that her arm was sliced off trying to protect her family. After that, she woke up in a dark musty cell, her severed arm now bandaged. She felt weak, she didn’t know where Gaius or Dorothy were, and she was tired. The worst part was the experiments. Some time after the attack and capture, she was selected to undergo a mysterious program, one that granted her a mystical cybernetic arm, one that adapted to her needs and wants. Months of pain and torture ensue.

But, despite all this, she still held on with a smile on her face. Then, one night, after being taken out of her cell and brought to the dragon for another experiment, something snapped inside her. Using her arm to its current potential and fellow captives, she and her newfound allies managed to escape. But for some reason, many of the guards that stood in their way refused to fight back, not out of fear, not out of respect, and not out of panic. Now, she’s on the run, and there’s no telling what the Maimed Virulence has planned for her or her allies.

Personality
Coin Clink, despite being a bit of an anxiety-addled mess, is a cheerful little birdie who seeks to make others smile. Whenever she encounters anyone that seems gloomy, she would try her hardest to comfort and cheer them up. She is incredibly obedient, though this is due to her paranoia after the events in Phlan.

In the face of a crowd, her anxiety ramps up. She's known to stutter and trip on her words with so many eyes watching her, to which it affects her promo skills detrimentally.

However, at times when she is reminded of the events in Phlan, via a conversation or an event, her cheerful yet nervous demeanor changes. At these times, she either freezes up completely and goes into a catatonic state or she becomes more aggressive and belligerent, lashing out towards anyone near her.

Career & Matches
During the preseason for RIW Season 2, Coin Clink was put into a Steel Cage match against Snagglefang Ripjaw for an exhibition match. However, instead of Coin Clink facing off against him normally, she was transformed into this horrifying, eldritch abomination, as she suffered from a condition known as Eldritchtouched. The match continued, with Snagglefang taking the victory via escape and Coin Clink returning to normal some hours after.

At the Indomitable tournament, she teamed up with Relentless to form the mixed tag team "Steel & Bones." The pair was eliminated by the Ashen Crowns, as Naja pinned Coin Clink after an intense and lengthy match.

In the first episode of Action Surge, Coin Clink squared off against Big Girl for the main event. Coin Clink was swiftly defeated by Big Girl by pinfall, as the warforged absolutely demolished her, crushing some of her bones and putting her out of commission for a while. It's possible that her match against the Ashen Crowns exhausted Coin Clink, leaving her woefully unprepared to take down Big Girl. Almost a month later, after being put out of commission from Big Girl, Coin Clink made her return as she faced off against Ometra Charon, who just so happened to make her debut. Unfortunately, much like her match against Big Girl, Coin Clink was swiftly and utterly defeated by the minotaur.

Relationships
Relentless: Her first ever friend in RIW. Together, they formed the mixed gender tag team known as "Steel & Bones," challenging the Indomitable Tag Team tournament together in hopes of winning the belts.

Neophak Ganu-Miaga: A goliath bard and retried wrestler from the first season of RIW. Shortly after his retirement at Legendary Action, he announced that Coin Clink would be his protégé, to which she accepted with hesitant gratitude. Coin Clink currently shares an inn room with him, where the two stay.

The Maimed Virulence: A green, adult green dragon, also known as "Vorgansharax." He communicates and constantly monitors the unaware Coin Clink via the arm he granted her during the experiments, haunting her with messages in her sleep that she cannot remember. At rare times, when Coin Clink is at her weakest, the dragon takes control of her body via the arm like a puppet.

Trivia

 * Despite her wrestling persona showing her with hair and her robot arm being on her right, her original art shows her without hair and the arm being on her left.
 * The voice she uses is that mimicking Dorothy, who was a teenager at the time before the Maimed Virulence's invasion.
