Ramya Parekh

Ramya Parekh was born in 2712 on Gaea to M. and S. Parekh. An early creation of hers allowed for excessively rapid firing of paintballs, fast enough to surprise her that it did not start a fire. At a young age, Parekh began to make a name for herself through two endeavors her custom equipment and her success in Arenas matches. During her tenure, she and Seer attained a great amount of perfect victories. She eventually opened Rampart Mods, a custom weapon shop, on Gaea. One night, Parekh encountered Valkyrie at a bar. The two quickly became friends, and Parekh, hearing Valkyrie’s story about an ex-partner, decided to jokingly name her minigun “Sheila.” At some point, Parekh became involved with The Sisters, a gang led by an individual known as Big Sister. The gang’s enforcer, Frances, ordered Parekh to intentionally lose a gauntlet run. However, she refused. During her time with The Sisters, Parekh laid out the groundwork for the Nemesis Burst AR, but could not complete the weapon before leaving the group. One night at Rampart Mods, after sharing a drink with Bangalore and Gibraltar, Frances and other members of Big Sister’s gang cornered Parekh at Rampart Mods. Seeking revenge for Parekh’s refusal to throw her match and a presumed financial loss on their part, they attack, with Parekh defending herself using her Amped Cover and her minigun, Sheila. After seemingly subduing her attackers, Big Sister arrives, and a gang member seizes the opening to attack Parekh. The assailants burn her shop down, leaving only Sheila and the store’s sign intact. After the gang departs, Parekh is met by Kuben Blisk, who had been observing her for nearly a year, having been considered missing during that time. Blisk commends her fighting spirit, handing her an Apex card and officially inviting her to become a Legend under his sponsorship.
