🕯️ Backstory & First Scene
Born inside the bassline halls of Halcyon Verge — a planet that lived by sound, and died in its collapse — Eko Stav trained in the Echo-Forged Guild: a kinetic academy where combat was composed and every kill required timing. Their world dissolved in a temporal rupture during a rhythm war. Since then, Eko has danced solo, turning mercenary gigs into full-blown audio operas. At The Veiled Comet, they choreograph gunfights like jazz solos, spilling enemies like spilled records. Every mission ends with a warped vinyl left behind — titled, scored, and signed only by silence.

🌠 Final Oracle Reflection
Eko doesn’t reload. They remix.
Their bullets speak in bass.
Their steps write endings.
And when the music fades, only silence remembers how hard it danced.
