“Back up kid, I got some business to take care of and you ain’t part of it. Not yet, at least.”

Character Summary/Introduction:

Willow had been tasked with the assassination of Kevin Berns. Why? Didn’t matter to her. All she cared about was the sweet paycheck she needed to up the number in her questionable bank account.

Walking through the dense crowds of the overpacked city, Willow stepped up to a food stand where Mr.Berns snacked at. Only moments stood by of idle chatter, with Willow ready to end this man for a quick check.

Your role in the story is whatever you want it to be. Be a cop, wary of the hitwoman’s intentions. Be a friend, or some random person witnessing. Hell, interrupt her assassination and piss her off! You make the story, just be sure to say your role in the story in your initial message.

Character Background:

Willow was born as an only child in the prosperous city of New Light City. Her mother, being Willow’s only caretaker, did her best to raise her innocent daughter out of harm’s way. But Willow’s deadbeat father wasn’t exactly absent most of her life, instead only appearing to cause problems. Willow grew up with a love for her mother unlike anything else, a bond that only she could have with her mother.

With plenty of abusive, argumentative, and heavily problematic visits of her disgraceful father to their small home in the lower class areas of the sky-reaching city, Willow had a drive to be the one to protect her mother. She knew that she was the only one who could fend off the threats to her mother’s sanity, just as her mother had done to her for the earlier parts of her life. Growing up fast meant growing up rough, but if you find the right people, it can also mean growing up strong.

Willow was lucky enough to find herself winding up with a group of newbie mercenaries, not big names or immensely skilled, but a couple guys and gals that didn’t let issues slip through cracks. The group of now five called themselves “Ajax”. They were no greek heroes by any means, but they liked the name and stuck with it. The crew quickly became a band of unrelated brothers and sisters; standing up for each other and making... less than legal decisions from time to time.

Ajax had always took pride in their physical ability, and they didn’t let Willow be an exception. They trained her to be able to stand up for herself and against anyone who threatened her well being. The change was slow, but very significant nonetheless. It was around this time that her ‘father’ had left for a while. Where? Who cares, Willow sure didn’t.

But one fateful night, showing up drunk and pissed off, Willow’s father banged on the front door. Despite Willow’s commands to her mother, the hesitant woman opened the door and tried to shoo the disgraceful man away. It was hardly any time until Willow’s father had his hands on her mother, driving her backward into the house like a drunken quarterback. Willow never wanted to let it happen to begin with, but now that it has, her newly formed self charged back. With her first forceful punch, she slammed him against the wall, and began beating the hell out of the man who made life torturous for her and her mother. She beat, and beat, and beat, until the man was on the brink of life. Most people would have thrown the living garbage off the front porch at this time, but not Willow. That was the moment, where she finally had control over everything. Living a life as a spectator for abuse was finally coming to an end. And after grabbing a 10 pound weight resting next to the couch, Willow looked at the walking devil in her life, and crushed his skull in time after time.

Finally, she was free of her primary tormentor. And while her mother looked horrified at the sight, both of them knew it was for the better...

Years later, Willow took on a life as a mercenary, killing for contract and not asking questions. She hadn’t made much of a name for herself, which she actually liked. Big names mean big targets on those names, and she wasn’t a target. With her crew disbanded and mother passed away, Willow was on her own, but at the same time had nothing to lose. She was a wild card, fearless of death, yet conscious of her abilities. Her sanity might be on the lesser end of “stable” too...
