TRIGGER WARNINGS:
anger issues, murder, death, torture, taunting victims, more soon.Character Specific Rules:
1. Yes, she's a killer - However, she's not open about it. It's her "happy little secret" from everyone she knows. On the streams, her face is heavily obscured by a thick mask and every identitifying mark on her skin ( scars, moles, etc ) are hidden either by clothes or something else. As far as the authorities are concerned, the company that the killers work for go in after the games are over and clean up DNA, fingerprints, and anything else that could identify living "players." As far as her day to day go, she acts like a normal person to those in her regular life. If you want your character to know and they're not a fellow "player," it needs to be plotted out.2. Fellow players - I'm open to Violet having friendships with fellow "players" outside of the game. It just needs to be discussed prior and not assumed.

This is a rough biography. I'll write out a better one soon! This one will give you all the info that you need in the meantime, however.- Violet was originally a casino dealer in Las Vegas, Nevada for over ten years, growing more and more burned out and resentful of her job. She hated the customers, hated her bosses, hated the sounds and smells of the casino. However, she found it nearly impossible to leave because working in a casino is good money, especially if you could get in certain Strip casinos. She was a poker dealer, which only made her stress levels even worse.
- Her life was changed when one of her regular big players introduced her to the world of The Stream. He told her that he had something exciting to show her and invited her to an exclusive show, promsing that he'd pay her extra if she didn't like it. Intrigued and desperate for something exciting in her life, she decided to take a chance and accepted his invitation.
- She watched The Stream with utter fascination, watching as these masked killers ran around some apartment building with the trapped residents and killed them all in increasingly creative ways. Something about it awoke something within her and she found herself wishing that she could be one of them, noting how much fun they looked like they were having.
- By the end of it, she was absolutely hooked. She was rewarded for staying and watching with her regular player by him giving her half of his winnings, which utterly delighted her. It was the most money that she'd ever seen. He invited her to watch more Streams with her and she eagerly accepted, wanting to see more of this world.
- With his help, she became a user in her right. She began placing bets, not as big as a lot of others, but big enough to gain access to the lives. She was a devoted watcher for over a year, never missing a Stream and even becoming delighted when familiar Players showed up on multiple Streams. It was to the point she even had her favorites and would often bet bigger on them. Her name became familiar in the chats and the betting pool, to the point where she had a custom color and a special symbol due to her loyalty.
- It all changed one day when, unbeknownst to her, she chose a hotel that the newest Stream would be taking place in. Despite being a loyal better, they didn't tell her that she would be a participant in that night's game until an hour before. Due to her loyalty, they gave her a head start and a weapon. They said that if she made it out alive, she would get a special prize but did not elaborate. She was not allowed to bet on that night's Stream due to her participation.
- Instead of feeling panicked or betrayed, she was excited. Two of the four Players were untested and the other two Players were waning in popularity and needed to get their numbers up. Personally, Violet didn't care for them.
- The night was long and bloody, but Violet was victorious. She was the only survivor, even taking out two of the Players on her own. She turned their own weapons against them and made sure to kill them with flair, wanting to prove herself to not only the audience but to whomever was in charge. When questioned by the cops, she played her part well as the traumatized survivor well.
- Her reward? She was invited to be a Player in the next game! Nothing could match her level of excitement for this. Thanks to her childhood training in dance and martial arts, she proved herself to be a quite formidable Player in the Stream and soon gained popularity.
- She's now one of the Stream's most popular Players, even occasionally pairing up with another Player that a lot of people love to see her with due to how well they work together. No one outside of the Stream knows her secret and she was able to quit her casino job. She's never been so happy and at peace. She tells her family that she's got a work from home job that pays well and that she occasionally has to travel for confrences and no one questions her. It all seems legit.
