Tallis has its name on trains all over the country, parts manufactured in factories across the districts emblazoned with the Tallis family crest, sealed into this nations history by Juno Tallis the second she took her first steps in that arena. The company, named for her father’s family, would never have found the success it did without her. And to think, I didn’t even follow the family footsteps. My siblings all wanted to take up the mantle, join the family business in one way or another. Orson took over the financials, and Amity took over the legal side. The rest of us can never get enough of poking fun at her name being Amity and her literally turning out to be the family lawyer, literally our personal mediator. She got tired of listening to us a long time ago, but that’s her own goddamn problem. Being an engineer was the last thing they expected out of me. It didn’t matter that I was bright in school, didn’t matter that I loved science and math and figuring out the way that things work best. None of them saw it coming; they all thought I was just going to follow right in Dad’s footsteps, eldest daughter turned prodigal daughter when I joined up with a team of arena designers after graduating early with my degree. Now I help build schematics for arenas all over the place. I get to create worlds where there was nothing before. That’s as close to believing in religion as I’ll ever get. Even then, it's only to believe in myself. The world is mine to design.
