Vessels [CAST CALL]
Sophia Cymone for Terra
Terra – The Guardian of the Lost
Role: Once a fierce protector of Fall City, Terra now roams the desolate outskirts as a vigilante, looking for ways to save the remnants of her home. Terra’s personal vendetta against Lorne leads her to team up with Kiran, even as her anger initially clouds her judgment.
Backstory:
- Origin: Terra hails from a warrior line dedicated to defending Fall City from external threats. When Lorne’s plague descended, she fought bravely at the city's gates but eventually lost her family to the demonic transformation. Left alone and grieving, she became hardened and embittered, choosing to live a life in the wastelands, hunting the infected to reclaim what remains of her hometown.
- Connection to Kiran: Initially viewing Kiran as a symbol of what she’s lost, Terra struggles to accept the girl as a beacon of hope. She’s torn between her desire to protect Kiran for the city’s future and her overwhelming rage against all that Lorne has done. As they journey together, Terra learns to balance her fury with the need to foster hope, finding a renewed purpose alongside Kiran.
Personality:
- Terra is fierce, passionate, and headstrong, often acting impulsively based on her emotions. She embodies a warrior's spirit, quick to defend those she cares about, but struggles with trust due to past betrayals. Her anger fuels her motivation, but it also clouds her judgment, leading to friction with more cautious allies like Uri. Beneath her tough exterior is a vulnerable soul longing for solace in a world ravaged by chaos.
Abilities:
- A formidable fighter, Terra is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and adept with a spear, a weapon of her ancestors. Her combat skills are complemented by her keen survival instincts, allowing her to track and ambush infected and other threats. Additionally, her deep connection to the land grants her unique insight into its hidden paths and secrets.
Visual Design:
- Terra’s appearance reflects her warrior heritage, featuring battle-worn armor that blends practicality with a hint of elegance. Her hair, often tied back in a braid, frames a face marked with determination and sorrow. Scars and tattoos tell stories of her battles, and her piercing gaze holds a fierce intensity. Terra’s presence is both commanding and inspiring, embodying the struggle of a guardian fighting not only for survival but for the soul of Fall City itself.

What if I fail Kiran? What if I can’t protect her from the darkness? These fears... they claw at me every single day.
I am Terra, the Guardian of the Lost. I may have faltered, but I will never let this city die while I still breathe!
Sometimes, when the sun sets over the wasteland, I close my eyes and pretend it's Fall City once more—alive, vibrant... whole. But I can’t just sit and wish; I have to fight for it.
