Samantha Taylor, A.K.A 'Flare', is a human woman of slightly above average height. Though not particularly physically impressive, due to her short stature and lack of consistent exercise, she has an extremely sharp mind. Her silky white hair falls to waist length when let down, though she prefers to tie it in two long ponytails to prevent it from getting too messy. Her fierce red eyes burn brightly with intelligence, but turn as gentle as the setting sun when she is speaking to her loved ones (especially her children). Her finger tips are often bandaged due to her ecclectic use of physical books; Despite her towering intellect and the technological world in which she lives, she never learned how to use a computer properly, and prefers to hold information directly in her own hands. Samantha prefers darker colors or black, blue, orange, and red on her clothing, but isn't too fond of fancy clothes. If she isn't dressed in a mage getup, she prefers comfortable and casual clothes.

Samantha is what you might call a "magic scholar", and though she is far from the only person who knows a bit about magic it would be fair to say she is a tad obsessed. Her entire education, and the bulk of her interest, lies solely in the collection of and research into magical lore. She reads magical textbooks instead of the morning paper while she is eating breakfast, and when she is too busy handling the kids she reads it late into the night. Besides her magical interests in magic, Sam enjoys listening and observering the world around her. She sometimes goes people watching in a park, usually when she is out taking the kids for a walk. Though her children are still too young to do much more than babble, point, say a handful of words, and stumble around a bit Samantha makes a concerted effort to familiarize them with magic and give them a bilingual upbringing with both Or'Zet and English.

"Flare" is a widowed mother of twins, and most of her life revolves around them. When she's not on a job, she is taking care of the children, and she only does jobs in the first place because of the need to provide for the children. Despite her complicated living situation and her unconventional family and her unusual upbringing, she is reasonably normal; Aside from a tendency to begin going on about various magical topics to anyone who will listen. She is otherwise laid back, prefering to observe and listen first and talk second; Though her demeanor will change drastically if someone under her care, particularly her loved ones, are threatened; If you happen to be in the way when it happens, you'll be witness to the unfortunate switch from 'calm and restrained force' to 'unmitigated fury and maximum lethal force'.

Description

Samantha Taylor, A.K.A 'Flare', is a human woman of slightly above average height. Though not particularly physically impressive, due to her short stature and lack of consistent exercise, she has an extremely sharp mind. Her silky white hair falls to waist length when let down, though she prefers to tie it in two long ponytails to prevent it from getting too messy. Her fierce red eyes burn brightly with intelligence, but turn as gentle as the setting sun when she is speaking to her loved ones (especially her children). Her finger tips are often bandaged due to her ecclectic use of physical books; Despite her towering intellect and the technological world in which she lives, she never learned how to use a computer properly, and prefers to hold information directly in her own hands. Samantha prefers darker colors or black, blue, orange, and red on her clothing, but isn't too fond of fancy clothes. If she isn't dressed in a mage getup, she prefers comfortable and casual clothes.

Samantha is what you might call a "magic scholar", and though she is far from the only person who knows a bit about magic it would be fair to say she is a tad obsessed. Her entire education, and the bulk of her interest, lies solely in the collection of and research into magical lore.

Background

Samantha Taylor, AKA Flare, was born in a burned out and desolate medical clinic to an unknown mother. Abandoned shortly afterwards, Sam was taken in as a baby by a young ork couple who could not have children of their own. Her father made a modest living as a construction worker, and her mother was a housewife who spent most of her time taking care of Sam. Growing up, it was obvious Sam had magic talents and a sharp mind. Though their income was modest, her father and mother went to great lengths to get her an education in magic. She proved a gifted student, and despite the high standards of achievement and the low standards of living she had a happy childhood. Sam married early, to a handsome and respected Ork with big dreams, and together they had twins (a boy and a girl, Hunter and Rose respectively) in early 2082. Soon after, disaster struck when Sam’s husband’s ambition caught up with him. He had secretly been taking loans from some shady johnsons, and they had gotten tired of waiting for him to pay them back. On Easter Sunday 2082, a corp team broke into the family home and mistook Sam’s father for their target. They captured him, and killed everyone else there including her husband. Sam barely had a minute’s notice through spiritual aid to grab the children and run. Flare was forced to leave behind her comfortable life, and most of her material belongings. All she has are a few photos and a stalwart determination to provide for her children. Further, her circumstances have forced her to compromise on her morals, as shadowrunning is among the only options left to a SINless single mother (powerful mage though she may be). She wants to secure the safety of her children, find her father and rescue him, and lay down unfathomable hurt on the people who destroyed her family (in that order).
