When standing face to face with her, they can make out some faint freckles that dot across her nose and cheeks along single faded scar stretching on the right cheekbone. Her thin eyebrows are the same apple red as the rest of her hair. Scarlet prefers the “natural” look and tends to keep make-up to a minimum, only some eye liner and lip gloss at most, reserving things such as foundation and blush for more formal occasions.     Scarlet is blessed with a slender yet athletic body type to which she personally credits to her healthy diet and daily athleticism for giving her such a lean figure. While her rosy complexion may appear to be free from blemishes at first glance, in truth her cheeks, legs, arms and top of her shoulders are covered in faint but distinct freckles and a single mole on her right knee. Her left side of her abdomen are three faintly pinkish scars that appear to be evidence being clawed by some creature.

She is the first to volunteer to help with just about anything and often puts the needs of others before her own. Her natural empathy drawn in many people to her who privately confide with her in private for advice. While kind and sweet overall, she can also be brutally honest and is not afraid to tell people what they are doing wrong. While it may seem harsh, it’s just her way of showing that she cares as she believes that a honest response is the most helpful one. Scarlet is also exceptionally protective of people, especially those whom she has close contact with. Her reckless drive to protect leads to many people thinking of her as brave as she puts the protection of others before her own health. Her desire to protect people can also lead her to be overbearing at times as her concern for people’s safety and well-being can cause her to be controlling of the people she is trying to protect. Scarlet tends to be cooperative, preferring to get people to work together on one singular goal she believes such cooperation has value and thus a great team player.     Scarlet is obsessed with maintaining a healthy figure, which stems from her own fears that she will become overweight and die like her biological mother when she was young. Her obsession with health leads her to have an active lifestyle, a love for athletics, a strict diet, and a love for cooking. Her obsession and caring nature however leads her to constantly try to nicely pester others to live a lifestyle similar to her own out of concern for their long-term health. While she doesn’t force people to embrace a “healthy” lifestyle like her own, she will quietly try to get them to change their ways and is quick to remind people the consequences of consuming unhealthy food items in the long run. While certainly not a pacifist and understands the need to fight, Scarlet is rather reluctant to harm others intentionally as her Heart Link power gives her a great appreciation of the pain she can cause to others. When it comes to conflict, she prefers the option where no one has to get hurt and will resort to violence when left with little options. Her aversion to cause pain to others makes her merciful as she does her best to do the least amount of harm. Scarlet however is less merciful when it comes to snakes and the darkness, preferring to dispatch these creatures swiftly as to not prolong any suffering they might experience. She justifies that creature’s instinctual behavior and capability to do harm means that it is better to dispatch such threats as their nature prevents them from changing their behavior. For humans, she seeks to spare them whenever possible as she believes that while humans can be dangerous, their inherent ability to act above instinct and change their behavior warrants that they are given the chance to better themselves. The Ability Name oo     Phase Dash Control oo     High Description oo     The Phase Dash was Scarlet’s first power that manifested itself and the one she has the most control over. This ability allows Scarlet to seemingly teleport anywhere that she has direct line of sight within 980 feet (300 meters). When preforming the Phase Dash, Scarlet body with faintly glow red before flash of red light is emitted and she suddenly becomes a faint, glowing red cloud of mist. The reddish mist will then travel at the speed of at a speed of 120 mph (193 kpm) to the destination she settled for and makes her dash appear to be instantaneous at short ranges. While traveling in this mist from, she becomes intangible and can pass through any solid object as well as being immune to damage. However, once she selected a spot to dash to, Scarlet must commit herself to phase dashing to that exact spot as she is unable to change her direction vector nor is she able to cancel the dash early. Once her intangible cloud form reaches the destination, a flash of red light is formed and her body will quickly reform. Despite the high level of control, she still feels somewhat queasy upon exiting from the Phase Dash and is momentarily vulnerable to attack. Scarlet must use caution as using her Phase Dash too many times in such a short succession of time can cause her to feel unwell. Thus she limits herself to Phase Dashing, as to prevent herself from violently throwing up (Cooldown 2 Post). Any Heart Shards that she has summoned will disappear and she will have to resummons them one by one once she exits from the Phase Dash. Usage oo     Outside of combat, Scarlet uses this ability for a variety of mundane uses. Usually it is to get to a destination a bit faster or to get around an obstacle blocking her way. For her own amusement, she likes to startle her friends as she suddenly appears next to them seemingly out of nowhere. In combat however, Scarlet uses her ability to help her evade powerful attacks, disengage from combat, or to quickly close the distance against any combatant. She avoids using her Phase Dash in rapid succession as such overuse can leave her violently will. Also, she is highly vulnerable to upon exiting out of her Phase Dash as she always feels a bit nauseous and dizzy when coming out of Phase Dash. Pros oo     - Extensive Range (980 feet or 300 meters)     - Fast (120 mph or 193 kph)     - Intangible when phasing     -Immune to damage when phasing Cons oo     - Line of sight based     - Two post cooldown     - Unable to change destination when committed the Phase Dash     - Easy to predict destination     - Feels queasy and ill upon exiting due to motion sickness, making her vulnerable to attack Name oo     Heart Shards Control oo     Medium Description oo     Scarlet possess the ability to create multiple long red tapered pointed crystal prisms that levitate around her telepathically. Each shard is 4 feet long (1.2 meters) and 2 inches (10 centimeters) in diameter. She personally calls them Heart Shard as each crystal has a glowing red cord that connects from the crystal’s midpoint to Scarlet chest. Scarlet is capable of conjuring up 12 a total of Heart Shards at any one time but can only make them one at a time (can generate one crystal per post upon entering combat). Even if she manages to have 12 crystals conjured, she is limited to only controlling 8 at one time as she is still learning how to control this ability. The other 4 would float nearby, ready to take for use should one of her Heart Shards be destroyed. Each crystal possesses the toughness of piece of flawless corundum (popularly known as ruby if red or sapphire if any other color) which has a MOHS hardness rating of 9. This makes these crystals spear shards extremely hard and durable, requiring harder exotic materials (such as diamond for example) or tremendous strength to shatter. Scarlet is capable of moving these Heart Shard anywhere within an 80 foot (25 meter) radius around her. If she were to send the Heart Shard any further, the glowing cord connecting her to the Heart Shard will snap instantly and the crystal will quickly disintegrate. One glaring weakness to these Heart shards is that why quickly dissipate into nothingness once the growing red cord connect Scarlet to the Heart Shard is severed. Very little is needed to cut these said cords, a well-aimed bullet or even a simple karate chop can cut the cords. While she can easily regenerate any lost crystals, her limitation of only producing one Heart Shard at a time means she is slow to recover her full strength if she losses multiple Heart Shards in single moment. Scarlet must also be careful about cutting the glowing cords with her other Heart Shards as her struggle to control all of the shards at one time can sometimes lead to cut one of her cords by accident. This tends to be more an issue the more Heart Shards are in play. Another limitation is that if was to use her other abilities, Phase Dash or Heart Link abilities, will call all of the Heart Shards to instantly become severed and quickly dissolve meaning that she will have to regenerate the crystals all over again one at a time. Usage oo     Scarlet’s Heart Shards are primarily reserved for combat, using them offensively and defensively when needed. When attacking, she relies on their piecing power of the Heart Shards when telepathically propelled to her foes on inflict grievous injury against the darkness. On humans, she tends treat them like floating staffs to whack and sweep at opponents until they submit or use the pointed ends to try to pin her foes in place. This is mostly to avoid any unnecessary injury on any humans. On the Defense, she depends on the material’s natural hardness to shield herself from harm, using the shards to block and deflect incoming blows at multiple instances. While it the Heart Shards provide excellent flexibility on offensive and defensive capably, it takes time until she can generate enough Heart Shards to be at full combat capability. This making her extremely vulnerable to attack at the beginning of any engagement but progressively more dangerous the longer combat goes on. That is, assuming her foes don’t take advantage of severing her Heart Shard connections as they form or force her Phase Dash out of danger at the expense of losing all of her conjured Heart Shards. Pros oo     - Heart Shards hard as ruby (corundum) and difficult to break     - Can summon 12 heart shards in total     - Each 4 feet long (1.2 meters) and 2 inches (10 centimeters) in diameter     - Can attack with other shards even when generating a new Heart Shard     - Telepathically controlled within 80 feet (25 meters) Cons oo     - Can generate only 1 Heart Shard at time (1 shard per post if one hand is free)     - Can only control 8 at time directly     - Shards disintegrate into nothingness if connection cords are cut or obstructed     - Connection cords easy to sever     - Can accidentally sever own connection cords, especially if there are more Heart Shards in play     - Use of her other abilities (Phase Dash and Heart Link) will cause all Heart Shards present to             disintegrate Name oo     Heart Link Control oo     Low Description oo     Heat Link is the second of her abilities she unlocked and also one she has the least experience due to unpleasant experiences she has had with this ability with ability in the past. Heart Link allows her to form a connection with any other being, such as animals, humans, and even darkness. Once the connection is established, any pain and injury that one suffers the other will suffer in equal intensity. To establish the connection, Scarlet emits a glowing red cord of energy from her chest that will attempt to latch itself on the target as directed by Scarlet. If successful, a connection is established and both will now share any pain the other will suffer. Once establish, the two being’s fates are connected for a limited time (4 posts). For example, if Scarlet’s right arm is broken then so will her opponent’s right arm. If Scarlet is poisoned and is coughing up blood, her foe will experience the same exact symptoms. If Scarlet was to die, her foe will die as well. Once the connection is desynchronized after a certain amount of time as passed, Scarlet and whoever she was connect with will no longer share any pain or injury with each other through any injury sustained during the connection will continue to persist. Another effect is that the Scarlet will experience the same emotions that as the person or animal she is connect with while they will in turn feel the emotions that Scarlet is experiencing. The sudden rush of emotions can be intense on both parties involved and it can be difficult to make out which emotions are their own or not. Interestingly, when Scarlet connects with a darkness there is no emotional connection establish with darkness she is connected it. The darkness in turn appears unaffected by any emotions Scarlet might be having. Both Scarlet and the darkness she is connected to however will still be able to share the pain they inflict on each other. While a powerful ability, Scarlet has only limited control as the concentration it requires and her inexperience with her ability makes it challenging to land other end of the cord to attach itself onto the person or creature in question (when used on a player, there permission is needed to have the two characters linked for several turns). The concentration required also causes any Heart Shards on the field to dissipate into nothingness. Usage oo     Scarlet rarely uses this ability due to her concerns with emotional entanglement and her own inexperience with her ability. One non-combative application she has noted was to understand the pain and feelings that others might experiencing… or sharing her own pain and emotions with others to feel. In combat, she uses it as a desperate measure to stall combat as a connect foe will be very much harming themselves if any harm comes to Scarlet. If things are truly desperate, Scarlet can inflict harm to herself and the connected foe will experience the exact same injury. Pros oo     - Emotional connection establish     - Possible emotional understanding between Scarlet and the person she is connected with     - Connects with any human, animal or darkness     - Any injury Scarlet takes, her opponent will also take the same exact injury Cons oo     - Extensive concentration required to use     - Difficulty in establishing connection (requires other player’s permission)     - Any injury her opponent takes, Scarlet will take the same exact injury     - Prone to emotional feedback loops, leading to intense emotional experiences     - Limited time connection (last for 4 post)     - Limited connections (can only connect to one person, animal, or darkness at one time)     - Lack of experience/control     - Those under the connection have difficulty sorting out which emotions are theirs and which         belong to the other     - No emotional connection with darkness possible but the pain is still shared between the two.     - The death of one leads to the death of the other The History Mother oo     Maria Zyre, 33 (Deceased), Baker Father oo     Robert Zyer, 46, Security Guard Step Mother oo     Quinn Zyer, 45, Secretary Step Brother oo     Grayson Zyer, 16, Chaser (student) [Played by Chibi Magician] Friend oo     Becky Barvston, 18, student Overall History oo     Scarlet was born to as the only child between her father Robert Zyre, a long time security guard and her mother Maria Zyre, a grossly overweight part time baker. Robert was the breadwinner of the family his work limited the time he was around his daughter, leaving the young Scarlet under the care of her mother Maria whom often brought her to the bakery she worked at. Maria was a woman with a love for only two things: a love for taking care of people and love for food. Thus it was only natural that new mother would spoil her adoring daughter to no end with her favorite sugary confections and delicious greasy meals whenever the child craved for food. While Maria was well-meaning in allowing her daughter to eat whatever she desired, it would lead Scarlet to become morbidly obese like her mother by the age of 6. Entering kindergarten and elementary school, she was picked quite due to her size and several school staff brought their concern with her weight with her parents. Their concerns however fell on indifferent ears as Richard was too busy to really devote any sort of care about the issue while both Maria and Scarlet cared not to how heavy they were as they were reluctant to change their eating habits.     When Scarlet heard her mother groan and suddenly fall to the ground while at home, she instinctively waddles up next to her mother wondering her mother was okay. When she realized that her mom was non-responsive, she panicked and called her father for help who in turn called the police. By the time her father, the police and an ambulance arrived to the house, Maria was pronounced dead on the scene. A later autopsy confirmed what everyone expected, a fatty build up in her coronary artery clogged the artery, leading to heart failure. The trauma of the sudden loss of her mother and the fears over own health would forever change Scarlet as she would forever remain health conscious about her body and the food that she was eating. This came as relief to her father, still feeling guilty over that is lack of concern may have been partly to blame for Maria’s death, and encouraged her to do so. Cutting herself off of sweets and limiting herself to healthier options such as vegetables was a difficult transition for Scarlet but she was thankful to her father trying to support her new diet and the praise by her peers when she started to shed off pounds. This approval and praise by everyone around her gave her the strength to commit to change. By the time Scarlet was a little over 8 years old, Scarlet was still a tad plump for a child her age but the change was remarkable considering how fat as child she was two years prior. Scarlet also became much more active outdoors and even taken up soccer with other girls her age as she as such activities where no longer as draining on her as they used to be. Scarlet was also deep interest for cooking, something that was essential to her finding ways to make vegetables more palpable on the platter. At the moment, Scarlet felt much better about her life: She no longer burdened by fat, people started to like her, her father became more involved in her life, and found herself enjoying new hobbies. Then her father began to date a woman by the name of Quinn.     Scarlet didn’t appreciate her father dating Quinn at first. Quinn’s presence was a very a constant reminder that her own mother dead and she personally felt that this woman had no right to attempt to occupy that void once held by her own mother. Despite Quinn’s attempts at an impressionable introduction, it was clear to both Quinn and Richard that Scarlet wanted nothing to do with this woman as she went out of her way to ignore or be rude to Quinn. The first couple of visits afterwards were met by similar results and Richard was grew worried that Scarlet would never like nor approve of Quinn. Quinn herself was also worried but noticed that Scarlet was bit more receptive to her when the three of them played game together. During future visits Quinn had with Scarlet, she always made it a point to have the three of them play some sort of cooperative activity or game with each other to hopefully have Scarlet develop a more positive association with Quinn. Over time, Scarlet began to see Quinn less of competitor for her father’s affection and replacement for her mother, instead seeing her as teammate and teacher to help perform better in future activities and games. Quinn used these moments to get to know Scarlet better and strike up casual chats and foster cooperation to help the young Scarlet play better in the future. As several more weeks passed, Scarlet got along with Quinn as she would with any of her father’s friends and had largely forgotten that she was supposed to hate Quinn, instead looking forward to her future visitations. Once their relationships where normalized between parents and children, Richard and Quinn it was about that their own children meet each other.     The first meeting Scarlet had with Grayson was somewhat awkward for her as she wasn’t sure as to what to make of the boy being introduced to her. Grayson however, was curious and eager to get to know Scarlet and was first to introduce himself. Scarlet give the boy her name and silence resumed between the two. Grayson thankfully offered that the two of should play something together which Scarlet happily agreed, much to their parent’s relief. The two of them started to spend more and more time with each other as their parents continued to go on dates with each other and leaving their children under the care of various babysitters. Once their parents decided to move in together in the same house when Scarlet was 9 years old, the two would eventually become the best of playmates. When their parents finally married each other when Scarlet was at the age of 10, Scarlet was quite thrilled as she had come to like Quinn as her new step mother and thought of Grayson as her unofficial brother months before the wedding. After the wedding, she now had a complete family with a mother and a brother to call her own.     Scarlet quickly took up the responsibility to being the big sister quite readily, especially since she was the oldest child and the fact that both of her parents worked meant she would often have to look over her younger brother. Scarlet is exceptionally protective of her step brother Grayson and is always trying to help and support him wherever she can. While she was certainly overbearing at times, Grayson could always depend on his kind sister to watch over and take care of him whether he appreciated it or not. When Scarlet was about 11 and half years old she discovered the first of her newly unlocked powers, Phase Dash, after falling out of a tree to collect a trapped soccer ball. When the branch she was standing on snapped under her feet, instead of falling to the ground she instead unintentionally activated her Phase Dash ability to seemingly teleport herself to the safety of the ground, with only some dizziness and nausea as the only apparent side effects. Since that moment, Scarlet devoted many weekends to better learn this amazing new super power of hers, which one time resulted in a broken leg when trying to phase across a ravine. Nevertheless, Scarlet would later come to learn the extent and limitations of her Phase Dash power the more she gained mastery over the finer details of her power.     Sometime during a warm summer day, the 12-year-old Scarlet was helping her step-mother out in the backyard when an escaped poisonous pet snake attacked Quinn who was unaware of the creature’s presence. Hearing her step-mother’s shrill screams upon being bitten, Scarlet ran up to her mother and kicked away the serpent. Once she realized that Quinn was bitten, Scarlet become petrified with dread that she that that her step-mother would die much like how she lost her biological mother all of those years ago. Scarlet latter recalled herself bawling her eyes off and behaving hysterically as she was convinced that Quinn would die due to the snake bite. Her younger step-brother, who had heard the screams as well, bolted to his mother’s side. It was on that day Grayson discovered his own power, a sort of toxikinesis, which he managed to remove the deadly poison from his mother. Scarlet’s father Robert would later take Quinn to the local hospital whom confirmed that the poison injected into Quinn was no longer present in her body. Once Scarlet calmed down from the nerve-wracking ordeal, she regretted panicking the way she even if everyone assured her that Scarlet did nothing wrong. Scarlet also greatly admired her younger step-brother for taking action like hero even when he was afraid himself, something which Scarlet aspired to emulate in the future. It comes as no surprise that Scarlet would develop a deep hatred for snakes after the events that transpired, usually killing these creatures on sight whether or not they are poisonous. While Scarlet saw her little brother as the most perfect lil angel, she and her parents where oblivious to the dark and sadistic behaviors he would commit under the cover of night against the creatures of darkness out in the family shed. Even when Grayson discovered his second power in the form of creating demonic wings that allowed for limited flight when activated, Scarlet’s image of her step-brother as a little angel never faltered. When Grayson discovered his second power, the 13-year-old Scarlet pondered on the idea of what other powers that she might harbor aside from her Phase Dash ability.     Scarlet thus set out to discover any other additional powers that she might secretly have, often pushing herself into several dangerous situations to discover any sort of hidden talents of hers. She spent some of this time with her brother as he himself was trying to gain a better control of his Wing Maker power, other times she was with her own group of friends who tried to help her out in any way they could, later she would set out mostly on her own to find out her remaining powers on her own. By the end of the year, Scarlet largely gave up on the idea of herself having additional powers as her attempts proved fruitless. Scarlet however would soon discover her second power when a close friend of hers named Becka suddenly broke down in front of Scarlet a day after she had lost her mother to the darkness. Having lost her own biological mother when she was young, Scarlet could relate to her friend comforted Becka in recluse corner by the school. After many tears were shed and hugs where exchanged, Scarlet and Becka both felt strange and sudden surge of emotions were not entirely their own. When both of them looked down, then found a red glowing red cord of light attached to each end of their chest. After the initial panic and attempts to rip out the cord of light, with girls came to realized that it was Scarlet’s second power being activated and that it seemed to allow the two to experience the emotions and feelings of the other.     Excited about her discovering her new power, she enlisted the help of her friend Becky as someone she could test her power on since she was the only one to know of it so far. While Becky was reluctant, she agreed since Scarlet was her most trusted friend and wanted to help her discover her powers. The two girls would meet each other out by the forest in secret, each of them telling their parents that they were at each other’s houses for the day after school. Scarlet found her newly acquired Heart Link ability to be difficult to control since it required a high degree of concentration on her part to connect with another person. When connection attempts were successful, the two of them would try to learn the other effects of the powers once they were able to make out whose emotions was who they were experiencing. When it was discovered that any pain and injury that effected one would affect the other, Scarlet’s curiosity got the better of her. It began as prodding herself with sewing pin needles on herself and asking Becky if she felt that, to which a very annoyed and hurt Becky certainly did. When Becky tried to get Scarlet to stop since felt she felt uncomfortable and felt that they had learned the extent of the Heart Link. While Scarlet could feel Becky’s anxiety, Scarlet was too determined to explore the full potential her powers a bit more and demanded that she endure it a bit longer. Becky, not wanted no part of this arrangement any longer, smacked herself hard in own gut to hopefully get Scarlet to feel the blow and stop. Once Scarlet was lurched over from pain, she looked up and demanded why Becky did that, feeling betrayed. Once again, Becky told her that she wanted Scarlet to stop as her little experiments were hurting the both of them. Enraged, Scarlet stabbed herself with the pin needle in her left leg to cause Becky experience the same exact injury to her own left leg. Becky soon gave into her own anger and hit herself knowing that it would affect Scarlet in the same exact way. It soon dissolved into a brawl with themselves, harming their own bodies to hurt the other as their linked anger feed upon each other, creating a feedback loop that intensified their rage.     As the girls where fighting each other by harming themselves, a lone pipsqueak was drawn to the commotion and looked on from the cover of the forest underbrush. After studying the situation, the creature of darkness sprang from the forest and attacked Becky from behind. As the creature’s claws scraped along Becky’s left side of her abdomen, both girls could feel their flesh on their back being ripped off as the Heart Link was still active. It was in that moment that their shared anger was replaced by a concoction of fear and horror as Scarlet could feel Becky’s fear of death and Becky could feel her horror of watching her friend about to die before her very eyes. The Heart Link quickly severed itself as Scarlet could no longer maintain the connection, as she was instead paralyzed with the fear that she would become the cause of her friend’s death. It was only when Becky cried out to Scarlet to do something that an image flashed of her doing nothing to help Quinn while her brother ran in to save her. The shame that she did nothing while her step mother was poisoned and the determination to not allow something like that to ever happen again gave Scarlet the courage to charge at the pipsqueak as it tried to drag Becky away deeper into the forest hastily. Scarlet, struggling to catch up, activated her Phase Dash to quickly catch up to the pipsqueak and tackle it to the ground. The vile creature quickly pushed Scarlet off itself and circled the two girls as Scarlet stood over her friend Becky to protect her. The creature looked with gleaming eyes, eager to pounce. Scarlet clutched her hand, determined to protect her friend even if meant that she be the one to die. As the pipsqueak leaped, smiling with gleaming mischief, Scarlet readied her right fist, ready to punch the creature in its face. As its toothy jaws opened to devour her, Scarlet swung her arm only watch was the creature was skewered by a four-foot long crystalline spear of what looked like solid ruby. When Scarlet looked, she saw that the elongated crystal shard was attached to her by a smaller glowing red cord of light much like her Heart Link ability except this time attached to a crystal that she had somehow conjured.     After the initial shock of combat, Becky explained how she watched in amazement as the large crystal spear form near Scarlet’s right hand as she was ready to throw a punch, then thanked her for saving her life. Scarlet apologized profusely for putting them both into this situation in the first place and for all the pain and anger she caused to themselves by ignoring her friend for her own gain when she was in the position to most understand. The two girls then hugged each other dearly as they each took turns trying to out-apologize the other as they cried over the ordeal they just experienced. Once they finished apologizing to each other, the two girls realized that they were now hopelessly lost in the forest. Thankfully, the two of them where found a few hours later by some patrolling chasers who then helped the two return home. Their parents were thankful for their safe return and promptly grounded the both of them for many weeks over the danger they put themselves into. Scarlet and Becky would continue to remain close friends but agreed to never put themselves in such danger ever again and to never Heart Link due to the pain and intensity of emotions that the Heart Link causes when misused. While an unpleasant experience overall, it did help Scarlet to appreciate people more and viewing any pain she causes to others as pain to herself, even if her Heart Link ability is not active.     Scarlet was well liked by her fellow students and teachers during her high school years thanks to her kindly nature and outgoing drive help everyone she can. Her love of athletics and cooperation lead her to become involved with many of the school’s sport teams including soccer, baseball, track, and volleyball. This focus on physical education however left Scarlet struggling with many of her other school subjects, especially math and science. Her earnest attempts to understand the course content yielded mostly C’s and a few occasional B’s throughout her high school academia. Scarlet unsurprisingly performed well in her PE courses as was one of the schools most well-rounded athletes, earning her many scholarship opportunities for college. Scarlet debated on her career options, debating on becoming a professional chef, athlete, or gym instructor. When her step-brother, instead of wanting to become a doctor or police detective as she expected, expressed interest in joining the Chaser Academy, Scarlet began to reconsider her options. Upon graduating high school, Scarlet surprised her parents when she wanted to follow her brother’s footsteps and enroll in the Chaser Academy as well. After convincing them to have enrolled, Scarlet set out the Academy to train and become a chaser, partly to become a guardian of the people and partly to watch over her little brother the big older protective sister she is.

Experience oo     I like to think my experience with some casual freeform RP goes back to fun RP scenarios that me and friends used to do since middle school (and continue to still do with then whenever we all happen to get together) about 12 years ago. I have been RPing more seriously on game servers (almost entirely Minecraft RP servers) about 6 years ago. Switched over more to forum RP about 1.5 years ago as forum posting better fits my schedule now these days. Other Characters oo     N/A
