Character Information

Summary

Former law enforcement officer turned sharpshooter-for-hire, Fara 'Quill' Weiss despises the spotlight. Her experience with Sudden Unexplained Recessive Genetic Expression (SURGE) left her in a state she despised as it ruined the comfy life she had always known. Fara's new complications forced a re-evaluation of future prospects, of which led her down a path of a Shadowrunner. Although extremely detrimental to her social presence, her transformation proved beneficial, using a new sense of agility to reach new heights. Her nocturnal nature and adaptive coat of feathers allowed her to become a shadow during the night. It seemed her only viable future had her aiding those she once took pride in locking up.

Goals

- To hide away from what the normal world has to throw at her. - To ensure she is the only one watching from afar, preferable behind a scope. -

Background

Fara Weiss grew up in Canadian Yukon, a rural and frigid place. Her family was relatively small, consisting of two parents and a sister. Her parents came from a long line of hunters, who preyed on large animal game during the long winters. Fara took a liking to the shooting sport, developing a pretty good eye for detail and aiming. That liking turned into a hobby, and then into a way of life; it felt alien to not have the butt of a rifle nestled into her shoulder. Despite the love for the sport, Fara resented the buildup to the kill, such as the tracking, the boring wait, and the numbing elements. Her parents futilely attempted to impart their wealth survival techniques onto Fara, often scolding her for selectively focusing on the shot rather than the whole art.

One of the major insights Fara still remembers is her father stating, "The birds are the first to notice everything, for they have the best vantage point. If you can fool the birds, you fool the entire tundra."

The desire for actions caused a rift within the family and resulted in Fara and her sister Iset traveling to Vancouver for a life with more potential. Fara ended up finding a job as a police officer while Iset wanted to pursue artistry regarding the beautiful tundra wildlife. As they both continued to pursue their respective path, Fara began to gain more experiences with special task forces, often being assigned roles requiring sniper overwatch. She soon gained accolades for her precision and received recognition around the region as a crack shot. A promotion into the Special Weapons and Tactics units quickly had her responding to serious and critical calls.

The sisters enjoyed the city life, living together in a nice, quaint townhome with their future ahead. One specific night, certain power outages have been ravaging the district utilities, causing a major power outage in the middle of winter. The two sisters laughed and enjoyed their chilly evening with roasted marshmallows and bulky jackets from the Yukon. The cold was their element, and it never once had been an issue. Their portable radio set kept them updated of a major astronomical event that would be a once-in-a-lifetime event, the passing of Halley's Comet. The year was 2061. Iset desperately wanted to see the beauty of the comet to hopefully have it inspire another work of hers, and she inevitably dragged Fara out into the snow. With the power in the district gone, there was not light pollution or city interference. Just the night sky like they remembered back in the Yukon. Galaxy bands sprawled across the sky, and the cosmos opened up. Fara soon remembered what she left behind by moving to Vancouver, the quiet solstice of their own little world.

A scream was heard in a household nearby, then similarly others, some resembling noises that can only be described as primal. Fara looked around, confused by the sudden commotion from the rows of houses, and urged Iset to come back inside. When Fara turned around, Iset was found in a fetal position releasing cries of anguish as her jacket began to bulge with feathers and blood. A sudden wave of weariness fell over Fara as her heart rate slowed; each of her breaths felt rhythmic and dragged on for what felt like minutes.
