The Last Light

Talia Shino was raised in the blinding glow of the Orbital Cities, where light itself is currency—harvested, sold, weaponized. A prodigious optical physicist, she developed a way to refract and bend light around her body, rendering herself entirely invisible. But after exposing a corporate alliance that used her tech for planetary surveillance and civilian mind control, she vanished from public life, taking her invention underground. Now known only as Glint, she's the unseen edge of rebellion—a living prism who can walk through walls of light, hack visual networks, and disappear before the first alarm sounds. Her custom suit manipulates photon fields with microscopic precision, letting her ghost through enemy facilities, surveil from impossible angles, and blind targets with weaponized flares. But while her stealth is flawless, her physical body is not. A single misstep in a firefight could mean the end. Mistrustful of command structures and wary of manipulation, Glint works alone or in shadows, never staying in one place too long. Her calm, analytical mind masks a deep loneliness, one born from years spent invisible in more ways than one. Yet for all her solitude, she's driven by a quiet mission: to bring light to the lies that thrive in darkness.
