Madam Ruz
Character Information
Biography
Origins
Born in the industrial heartland of Kharkiv, Ukraine, Anna grew up amidst the echoes of machinery and the scent of chemical factories. Her parents, both scientists, toiled in laboratories where secrets brewed alongside volatile compounds. The Chernobyl disaster had left its mark on the land, and Anna felt its radiation in her very bones.
The Catalyst
Anna's powers came to her during a clandestine experiment gone awry. Her parents, desperate to unlock the secrets of genetic enhancement, exposed her to a cocktail of mutagenic substances. The result: her latent abilities surged forth, killing them. Mad with grief, she left her hometown and fled to Mariupol – just in time for the first bombs to fall on the city.
The Awakening
Anna's awakening came during the Siege of Mariupol. As Russian forces encircled the city, she witnessed the devastation firsthand. The river ran red with blood, and the cries of the wounded echoed through the rubble. Anna vowed to fight back—not with guns, but with nature itself.
Eco-Terrorism
Armed with her knowledge of chemistry, a loyal band of mercenaries, and a fierce determination, Anna became the eco-terrorist known as "Madam Rúz.". She sabotaged pipelines, contaminated reservoirs, and disrupted energy grids. Her attacks were precise, leaving no casualties but crippling the machinery of destruction.
The Mercenaries
Known as ¨Stalevi Vovky¨ (the Steel Wolves), these battle-hardened soldiers hailed from war-torn regions across the globe — Ukrainian snipers, Chechen rebels, and Serbian commandos. Their loyalty was unwavering, their combat skills unmatched. Clad in tactical gear, they followed Anna's orders without question.
The Olenivka Prison
Captured by Russian forces, Anna endured months of captivity in the notorious Olenivka prison. There, she met other women—fighters, civilians, and intellectuals—all united by their love for Ukraine. They whispered secrets in the darkness, shared stories of defiance, and sang anthems of freedom. Anna's resolve only grew stronger.
The Bridge of Liberation
One cold morning, the order came: a prisoner swap. Anna found herself on a bridge, staring across the river into free Ukraine. The Russian PoWs stood silent, defeated. As she stepped onto the soil of her homeland, tears streamed down her face. She had fought not just for herself but for the land, the rivers, and the future.
