Biography[]
Childhood[]
How Rush was found by John and Marina Sykes is unknown however it is believed that Rush was found in the Crib-like Remnant within The Sacred Lands where most Remnants are born and adopted him as their son. Years later Rush entered the same room where his adopted mother later found him and was distraught over his being there, whether he entered there on accident or whether he was called there is unknown.
Shortly after Irina was born Marina used Marion's Blessing (hypothetical) to Seal away the Remnant side of Rush and all the memories included. He and Irina were then moved to Eulam Island at their parent's request. He was to take care of Irina while their parents worked in the Academy and travelled up to the Remnant Elysion. Sometime after this when Irina had aged a little, a jealous Rush once attempted to abandon his sister in the Wilderness, expecting her to be able to find her own way home. However in the twilight hours of that day, a panicked Rush found Irina in the same spot where he had left her and earlier told her that he would come and get her from. She had believed him and trusted him to come back. Humbled by that experience, Rush has since become very protective of Irina, and would go to the ends of the earth for her.
