<div class="floatright">(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_277mkR54rQM/SKg1U9tzcVI/AAAAAAAAC8M/xBrd9xqJYlQ/s400/fan+bing+bing.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Fate Turner<br/><strong>Character Type:</strong>Initiate<br/><strong>Sex:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Sexual Preferences:</strong>Bisexual<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong>23 years old, stands at 5' 5" when barefoot though she has a tendency to wear short to high heels. With pale, porcelain skin, she burns and tans easily. Light gray eyes, though some have mentioned to her that they seem to change colors under different lighting. She keeps her hair in a short bob and is usually seen with a pair of headsets on.<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>Charismatic Persuasion</em></span>: People find themselves attracted to Fate, though none seem exactly sure as to why. Some claim they look up to her out of admiration, others just find themselves repeatedly coming back to find her -- whether it be for advice, or just the comfort of being near her. Just as people may find Fate's company to be irresistable, they have a difficult time saying 'No' to her...especially if she really<em>really</em>wants them to say 'Yes'. Stubbornly persistent by nature, she'll use any means to get what she wants, whether it be consistently needling a person for information, to the use of sensual allure and possibly even violence, this girl just doesn't do well with rejection.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>Connections</em></span>: Her high school and college days may not have been spent with the most reputable group of people, but she'd kept in touch and made sure her lines were both open and friendly. She keeps herself well-informed of the latest news and rarely needs to call in any favors, though when needed, they're always happy to help. From school friends who have now moved on to various careers, to people who frequent the shadier parts of town, Fate's usually only a few phone calls away from finding out the latest gossips to knowing who deals the purest drugs.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>Street Fighter</em></span>: Fate tends to avoid fighting if she's able to, but when it's needed, she can hold her own for a short while...though she never plays fair. Whether it be kicking up dust into someone's eyes, or crushing some poor guy's babymaker, Fate'll kick and scratch like a wildcat. She's decent with bashing in faces with her fists and knows her way around a butterfly knife, but she's careful to pick and choose her fights and isn't afraid of turning tail and running away when necessary.<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong><br/><br/>Born and bred in Cape Merrin, Maine, Fate Turner's always hated the little town life ever since she realized that everyone knew everyone else's business.<br/><br/>Raised by her doting father, she was ridiculed by others in school for her lack of a mother figure. Not that she was the only one without a mom, but because it was rumored that her mother had been some pretty lil' slut who'd taken advantage of her dad's kindness -- only to turn tail and run once she'd given birth to Fate.<br/><br/>When the bullying first started, she'd run home crying, confused about the truth of the rumors only to be stunned into a hurt silence when her father didn't even deny them. Eventually, tired of the snide remarks and pitying looks, Fate just snapped sometime in middle school and returned home bruised and scratched up but with a satisfied smile on her face. From then on, she decided that if she really were supposedly so 'bad' then she'd be the baddest girl around town.<br/><br/>Her father never batted an eye at her sudden change in behavior, he never said a thing about her decisions and this only seemed to irritate her further. One time, over a rare breakfast with her dad, she casually asked his thoughts on having such a rambunctious daughter.<br/><br/>"Honey, I'll never tell you how to live your life. You're a smart kid with a good head on your shoulders and I believe that you'll make smart decisions. Only thing I'll ever ask of you is to do well in school and continue your education."<br/><br/>That was the last time they ever breached the topic and conversations grew sparse between them.<br/><br/>However, Fate kept her end of their bargain and did well in school despite her reckless endeavors. With the start of college, Fate applied to schools in the next state and lived in the dorms. Her whirlwind life suddenly came to a stop one day when she received a call from her dad's best friend, Mike, telling her to come back home. "Your dad passed away last night." Those were the only words she heard. She was still holding her phone to her ear long after the line had clicked off.<br/><br/>He'd always looked much older than the rest of the parents, but her dad wasn't even fifty yet. Returning back home to Cape Merrin, Fate watched numbly as her father's casket was lowered into the ground. It wasn't until everyone had left that she sat on the freshly dug earth and started crying for the first time in years.<br/><br/>Now, Fate's moved back to Cape Merrin and is finishing up her Bachelor degree at the Cape Merrin Community College. She's a part-time student and spends most of her time looking after Book Revue, the little used book store that her dad owned. Mike drops in regularly to check up on her and occasionally he looks after the store for her. Those who remember Fate and her rowdier days may be surprised at how she's 'settled down'. While no longer frequenting the shady parts of town, the girl still knows how to have a good time and enjoy herself. Although she's no longer 'a part of the gang', she's still on friendly terms with old buddies and never turns down an invitation for a drink.
