Name: Cassandra “Cassie” Remar
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Faction: Mark 21s

Appearance: Cassie is Caucasian standing at 5’7” and weighing 120 pounds. She has long copper brown, wavy hair that falls down to the middle of her back. She has dark brown eyes, defined cheekbones and full lips.

Because of her role in the Mark 21s, Cassie usually wears clothes that show as much skin as possible to make herself look more appealing. This includes miniskirts, hot pants and tank tops. She also wears dark eye make-up, lip-gloss and blush.

Biography: Cassie was born in Brockton. She is the only child of Christopher and Katie Remar, both of whom work for the Mark 21s. Being an only child, Cassie received a lot of attention and was spoilt by her parents which can be seen as the cause of her attention seeking attitude she had in her later years.

Whilst Cassie was in school she was always mischievous and frequently getting into trouble due to bad behaviour. She created a gang in her school consisting of a small group of girls that would bully and terrorise the other students. The majority of Cassie’s classmates were too afraid to tell the teachers what she was doing to them, not just because they were scared at what Cassie would do to them if they did tell, but because they knew her parents were part of the Mark 21s.

During classes, Cassie rarely paid much attention and as a result she received F’s and D’s in most of her subjects. These grades were not enough for her to get into college; however, she had no intention of going there in the first place.

At the age of 17, Cassie dropped out of school and joined the Mark 21s with her parents. This is what her parents intended for her to do when she was younger and they were proud when she finally joined. Cassie was excited about the whole experience and couldn't wait to start being productive and help the Mark 21s take over Brockton.

By age 18, the Mark 21s decided to use Cassie’s good looks to their advantage by using her as a spy. They would send her off to seduce members of other gangs in order to get intel from them. She would then report back to the Mark 21s, informing them on what she found out. The idea of being used for her body never really bothered Cassie, as she knew what she was doing would help out her gang. Cassie has been a great asset to the Mark 21s cause, and as a result of her, the Mark 21s were able to take down a couple of the smaller rival gangs. It was also at this age that Cassie’s father was given a life sentence in prison for killing a rival gang member and was sent to a prison outside of Brockton. Cassie was deeply saddened by this and was left with only her mother to keep care of her.

When the Riverside Incident occurred, at first, Cassie didn't think she received any powers. However, several days after the incident, Cassie met up with several members of the Mark 21s and a fellow gang member, who had the power to sense other people’s abilities, revealed to her that she did in fact have a power. This power was the ability to repel attackers. As time went on, Cassie learnt that she could use her power to protect others as well as herself.

Upon learning about Cassie’s new powers, the Mark 21s started sending her out into gang fights. Although she would never actually fire at the opposing gang, Cassie would stand amongst her fellow gang members and try to protect them from enemy fire. As a result of Cassie’s protection, the Mark 21s won the majority of fights that Cassie was involved in.

Power: Cassie has the ability to repel people who wish to attack her. It works as an aura that surrounds a 10 foot radius around her and it cannot be seen, heard, felt or smelled. If people within the aura's radius have the intention of attacking her, they are automatically put off from doing harm to her. Cassie’s power only works if she concentrates on it, so there is always a possibility that she can be caught off guard.

Cassie can also use her power to protect other people as well as herself as long as they are no more than 10 feet away from her and standing in her aura. This renders anyone within the radius of her aura to be unable to purposely harm each other. However, they can still attack people who are outside of the aura.

Despite the great power of her ability, it also has limitations. Although Cassie can repel people who are firing directly at her, she cannot protect people from explosive weapons that are fired next to her aura. She also can’t block attackers who fire at her by accident; they have to be purposely trying to attack her.

Starting belongings: Cassie carries a Beretta M9 pistol and a switch-blade knife with her at all times.

We've got a few things in Cassie's profile that could be potentially problematic.

First, we have to consider the history of the Mark 21's. The way I'm reading this, Cassie's parents have been a part of the Mark 21's since her birth. This means the gang would have been at LEAST 21 years old. This is something I don't exactly remember saying, but it's definitely something I could just throw into the works if I really want to (the Crips and the Bloods are how old?).

However, even if they are that old, there are a few other things to consider about the gang. They were one of about three or four gangs in Brockton, and they didn't really come to any major source of power until about two years ago, when the Riverside incident occurred. That's when several members gained their abilities and Ian Covey, also known as the "Slum God", rose to power and led the Mark 21's to gang-territory domination.

If Cassie didn't pay attention, she might've gotten straight up F's. F's are very, very easy to get when you don't do your schoolwork, no matter how smart you are. Did she get pushed through the system and graduate high school, or did she drop out?

Tip from an expert (who is not me, I asked around on this one): Cassie's recruitment may ideally happen before she's 17. As sad as this is going to sound, parents who drag their kids into gang life do exist just like Cassie's. When they do have a kid, they try to get them in as early as possible. This is so, if the kid is caught, they get a much lesser punishment than an adult would (and given Cassie's activities, jail time is not unlikely, ESPECIALLY before the Riverside incident). It's also very likely one of her parents (or possibly both) would be in jail right now, which could help facilitate Cassie's attention seeking behaviors. Just something to consider.

(Note that if one or both parents are in prison currently, they are outside the city)

It wasn't the Hotel Raou until the Mark 21s took over, which was after Slum God got a hold of the gang and completely dominated their territory, and the hotel had been completely abandoned. It became the Hotel Raou approximately one and a half years ago, so more than a few days after the Riverside incident.

It's Mark 21s, not Mark 21's.

I think we talked about the power before. The power is a whoooooole new ballgame. I'm not digging the aura at all in that it doesn't seem to be very feasible in terms of how the other powers work. If the aura only extends to 20 meters (which is in itself too much of a range, I'd have you shorten it to 10 feet or around 3-ish meters), how come people outside of that range can't attack her? Why are they suddenly put off from attacking others? They're outside the range, so nothing should happen.

I'm going to ask that you do one of two things when it comes to the power. Cassie could either place a mental block on any single person within eyesight feet of her that gives them an extreme inhibition to hurting her, or she consciously (she must concentrate) generates an aura extending 10 feet from her that renders anybody inside the field unable to purposefully harm anybody else inside the field (which, of course, includes Cassie).

Edited!

-Mark 21s age- I'm just going to hope that you'll let the gang be older than 21 years old.
-Grades- Changed so she "rarely" pays attention and also lowered her grades.
-Graduate or drop out- Had her drop out.
-Prison- Had her dad be put in prison.
-Hotel- Removed.
-Power- Changed to second option.

I'm pretty sure it is. It is in the UK anyway and I just checked on here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_United_States#Grading_scale and it seems to be a thing in the US.

It's generally referred to in most school systems as an F. Just change it and we're good. I knew you'd pick the second option on that power, by the way. The first didn't really protect others all that much.

Ok, changed! And yeah, the second option was closer to my original idea anyway so it's all good! :)
