TAMARA MASTERS Profile — Name: Tamara Masters Age: 16 Occupation: Student, originally a Beyblader Family: Faith (older sister) and Will (older brother) Genre: Originally had been made for Beyblade Tv series, now Hurt/Comfort Creation: 2004 Rewritten: 2014
OG Backstory: At first glance this girl was sugar driven with money to spend without a thought. One of the best beybladers out there due to having so much energy that she could outlast her opponents when required. (Not much thought, was only 14). Rewritten backstory: After the death of her parents, She was taken in by her older sister, Faith, that was never home. She went to school, played games and talked with her friends over MSN. It felt hollow. Her ‘friends’ hated her and talked behind her back, she started skipping lessons of ones she didn’t understand, it’s not like it would be
“D

noticed since no one was home. She ditched her ‘friends’ after she overheard them and skipped the whole day by spending it at the skate park. She had been encourage by the other teenagers there to try it out after she had been prancing around to copy there moves in her boredom. She had been delighted and decided it was better than what she was doing and ended up there more often than not to blow off steam. It was during one of her skating sessions, during school, did she get caught by her visiting older brother, Will. She refused to go an empty home to talk, so they chatted at the park so that Will could understand what she was going through. Having buried himself in the family companies’ workload like the eldest had, he could only feel guilt and promised that he would talk it over with their sister. It took awhile for things to get better as a family again but Tamara ended up getting to transfer schools and started feeling better about herself. She continued to skate as that was something that gave her a bit of comfort during her low days and she got to spend it with her skater friends that helped in making her smile.

faith masters Profile — Name: Faith Masters Age: 26 Occupation: P.I, originally a SeeD Family: Will (little brother) and Tamara (Little Sister) Genre: Originally had been made for FF8 game, now thriller/crime Creation: 2007 Rewritten: 2014
OG Backstory: Was a SeeD turned Lecturer to SeeD squad leader during the war of the Gardens. She and her team, as well as one other team, round up the newest recruits to protect them as well as teach to ensure that they could defend themselves during the trying time. There never was a dull moment when defeating monsters, defending monsters and small down time to play Triple Triad to keep the morale up.
Life continued as she kept on top of her cases… Till the case of her parents was brought up then it was accompanied by three other cases where the MO was the same. Maybe it would be best if she called her brother for help… And maybe just maybe she could give the out of towner investigator a chance, his K9 companion was a heart melter.
Rewritten Backstory: Life certainly could slip the rug right out of you when death is at your door. Well it was at her parents first before it came a knocking at hers. She hide her pain in her work and without meaning to, became neglectful of her teenage sister, she had been taking care of herself for the past eight years, another person just slipped over the hard fixed routine. She made sure there was food, bills were paid and kept her sister out of trouble the best she could. Teenagers skipped school on the regular, that was normal right? Tamara was always in bed or in her room when she checked at midnight after work. She was safe… right?

AISLING CALLISTO Profile —
Name: Aisling (dream, vision) Callisto (most beautiful) Age: 26 Gender: Androgynous, gender fluid, female Occupation: SFX/Make up artist Family: Raised by Nanna/Maimeó (Crystal Witch) Fears: Astraphobia (fear of thunder and lightning.) Genre: Supernatural, Modern, Fantasy Creation: 2020
Backstory: There wasn’t much that surprised Ash, preferred name, most days. Content creation was their life as they around as a make-up artist from one film location to the next. Messing around with SFX was their bread and butter, it was great for short videos of just showing off their favourite monster creations and gruesome injuries which they didn’t get to do too often. It was interesting when she got to work with the Others, when on their good side they would be allowed to compare their work with the real thing. The Others taught them things to do with their kind, which they put down in their creativity book as little notes to keep her work as accurate as possible, change to keep ancient secrets and adapt products to the Others skin sensitivities. They liked listening to them and their history and whilst working on their make-up, it made the time go by quick and enjoyable.
When they weren’t creating or doing their job, they were at home with their Nanna helping with her little business, selling crystals and good vibe trinkets. It was during one of their excursions for their Nanna that they came across a panicking Corliss.
