Emilena: Story time...I grew up in an orphanage, and not a nice one. The staff was cruel, the building was archaic and the policies were medieval; Nature's Heart is honestly a large part of the reason I joined the Accelerated Growth Program, I didn't want to be a helpless kid anymore. But on my last day at the orphanage, my roommate Selma went missing. While trying to find her, I discovered that the wardens were running their own test program on the orphans. I don't even want to tell you what they were doing to them...They caught me sneaking around and almost killed me, but I managed to escape and reach police protection. The Wardens were arrested, I spent a week in the hospital before being artificially aged up to 18 and enrolling in the police force, and that was the end of it.
Or so I thought. Three years later, I was dispatched to Nature's Heart on a routine call, and I discovered the original Wardens had left jail early due to good behavior and resumed right where they left off. Policy dictated I arrest them, but they'd flaunted justice before, and would probably do so again. So I killed them in cold blood, evacuated the kids, and burned the orphanage down so it would never reopen. That turned out to be a pretty bad move. It caused me to be put on probation, it caused me to target Soren in a last-ditch attempt to regain my badge, and it directly led to everything I've been put through since. I must admit, a lot of pain and personal injury could have been avoided if I'd brought those bastards in by the book.

Awe, if you could find an actor pretty equivalent to how you sound, who would it be?
Marita, would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?
