Flareth
The fastest girl in town
Human beings of purest heart
The land is ravaged, fires start
A curse flying on devil wings
The other universe is ready to sing
Some will leave their world behind
And now we can finally rest our mind

An old legend, some call it a fairy tale, tells of an odd creature, different from most of her kind. A devil in plain sight, if you will. The entirety of her race shunned her for her obviously evil appearance. And many others too. They believed her there to destroy their home, kill all their firstborns or some other horrible thing. But despite that, she still searched, eventually finding an old cottage with an old wizard and his wife inside.
The old couple agreed to care for her, on the condition that she could never be seen by anyone else who would stop by the couple’s home. Though it hurt to hear that, the girl agreed to it. And it worked for a while. She would hide when they got a visitor, and come out when whoever it was left.
But it came to pass that there would be a day where she would not notice that a visitor had come, and he noticed her. In purest fear, he attacked her. And she ran, ran far away as the people of the nearby village, and soon from lands further than that rallied to “kill the devil”. She had stolen a spell book to defend herself should they have found her, and she hid in the mountains, away from everything.
Of course, there had to be a time when they would find her. Many creatures had come to hunt her down, including some village leaders, some proud warriors, even members of her old family. She was so scared, so… angry, she cracked open the old spell book and before her mind could process it, she was yelling out an incantation. A curse, yelled so loud, cast so angrily that it spread over all the land. Damning them for eternity and slaying those who had come to kill her. Plague spread in certain places, extreme, deadly weather in others. The world became a living Hell.
Still horribly angry, the girl announced to the world: “You all will pay for turning me away. You will bow to me, or you will die.”
They say that she still rules that land to this day, all because they turned her away.

The moral of the story is the ever-so-cliché’d “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. Past a certain age, like all tales, people begin to pass this off as just another fairy tale, not suspecting for a minute that it could be all too real in another world. That the very land screams for mercy and a very many people beg for mercy. No, the humans of our world continue about their merry business, oblivious.
After hearing a prophecy, the wise old elders decided that they would hunt down these humans themselves, and sent one of their own; the very wizard that took that girl in, to this world to find them.
That’s where our story begins. You run across a store that was not there the last time you were in this area. The inside looks like a regular old sundry shop; you know, chocolate statues of Richard Nixon, old jars of almonds, an old man with a crystal ball at the counter… ok, so maybe not your regular shop, but you go in anyway just because everything inside is so strange.
And you see an old man, who says “Have I got a deal for you…”

My character:
Name: Charlene "Chip" Lewis
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Appearance:
Personality: She's very tomboyish. She found her given name, Charlene, to be too girly for her, so she decided to go by the nickname of Chip. She plays for the local high school's basketball team. She's average at it though, she isn't great but she doesn't suck. When she isn't playing basketball, she hangs out with her friends and goes to the video store that's walking distance from her house to rent movies. She likes "horror" flicks. You know the kind that failed in special effects even in the time they were made? She watches them so she can provide her own commentary.
Other (Anything else?): Nope
