Terra

Name: Terra Anne-Marie Gordon
Age: 39
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Skin: Dark brown
Hair: Short, curly, golden-blonde
Eyes: Hazel, somewhat small
Height: Short

Position in the library: Guardian
Former job: US Military

Skills: Akido, Judo, Krav Maga, Boxing, general survival skills, some odd bits of knowledge picked up here and there on her travels or from being around her brothers.

History: Had three brothers who were huge nerds, and needed protection. Do you know how hard it is to find straight guys who can handle her? Not easy.

Anyway, Terra was the third born of four children. It was a pretty normal family. Her two older brothers were part of robotics clubs and chess club, and just about any other club they could get into. When Terra was five her younger brother was born, he had Cerebral Palsy. Things changed a lot after that, her mother left them being the biggest. Her father, wasn't really equipped to handle the four kids, especially one with special needs. He was at the time in the military and so he leaned heavily on the resources available. At first he figured Terra would be happy in things like Girl Scouts, which she did fine in, but she wasn't happy. As they got older and they moved around there were more and more fights. Finally Terra's father decided that the scrappy daughter, now 10 years old, needed an outlet a bit more fitting to her personality. He put her in some martial arts classes to see which she liked and she took to all of them like a fish in water. By the time she was 15 he was bringing her with him to his training's and she was holding her own against several of the other men who trained with him. By the time she was 18 she could beat many of them, and hold a stale mate for a while with most of them.

As soon as she was able to she joined the military and proved herself worthy quickly. She ended up joining a small special forces team when she was 23, just before 9/11. After 9/11 things got difficult for her.

Two years after 9/11 her father died in a car accident, and her mother decided to reappear in her life. It didn't take long for much of that drama to come to a climax ending in her younger brother's suicide and Terra distancing herself completely from her Mother. She threw herself into the military at that point. Her older brothers were teaching and had steady lives, they didn't need her anymore.

Fast-forward to 2015, Terra, now 38 was ready to retire from the military, but she had no idea what she wanted to do. She decided to take a 1 year contract doing special events all over the world. Two days before her contract ended Terra received her invitation from the library. Wholly confused and fortunately in the area, Terra decided to check it out.

Clara Boyce

Name: Clara Boyce

Appearance:

Clara stands at five foot six, with long brown hair that curls slightly, and grey eyes. She is more on the slender side, but has some meat on her bones.

Age: 27

Position: Librarian in Training/ Magic user

Former Employment: DJ

Short Bio: Clara was born to two college professors, so the burden on the young girl had some high expectations. So while she was really smart, she did the one thing that most kids did, and rebelled. While she was smart, and tested in the genius level of IQ, she never did her homework, bombed tests on purpose, and just basically meandered through school. The only thing that brought her joy was music. She picked up two instruments, the piano and the violin.

Of course, as music was the one thing she loved, she eventually became a DJ, while still being very smart. She chose to go through community college as well, realizing she couldn't devote herself to her music her entire life, but her parents were not exactly pleased by her choice of school. However, their relationship has gotten worse as she refused to go for a four year degree, and just went after for her associate degree, so now they no longer talk.

Clara knows there is more in the world than just learning, even if that is all her parents might focus on. As much as she loves being a DJ, she would happily jump on the chance to do more in the world and learn more about it.

Position: Librarian-in-training
Appearance:


Former Employment: Research Assistant at a college working on cataloging types of Code and Cryptography.
Skills: Speed reading, eidetic memory, specialization in Cryptography.
History:
Mia's early childhood was fairly normal, she was the youngest of three girls. The two older sisters showed signs of being normal. By the time Mia was three she was already speaking in full sentences and reading the same material her older sisters were reading in school. At first Mia's parents put her in public school, but quickly she outpaced her class mates and made her teacher's lives difficult. She was so bored in class that she started being disruptive. It was in second grade that her teacher handed her a complex word puzzle, Mia had it solved in twenty minutes. The teacher was impressed and decided to submit Mia into some testing. It didn't take long for it to be shown that Mia was light years ahead of her age group, and was already leaving her sisters in the dust.

Shortly after that Mia started having an interest in Cyrptography. Since then she has done any sort of puzzle she could get her hands on, focusing heavily on ciphers, though she'll happily do crosswords or Sudoku puzzles if she's bored.

In response to her test scores, her parents put her into a private school where she flourished and the behavior issues disappeared. Mia graduated college with two BA's just before her 18th birthday, one in code breaking, and another in History.

After college Mia went into a program with the military as a civilian for creating code, and breaking it. She worked there for four years before getting the job at her Alma Matter working with one of the professors on historical codification.

Tristan

Name: Tristan Blackthorn

Appearance:

Appearance

Tristan stands at roughly six foot even, with brown hair. He has a rather thin frame, when you look at him, but has some hidden muscle in there. Always wears his glasses, except to sleep. (He's near-sighted.)

Age: 32

Position: Librarian in Training, Hacker (?)

Former Employment: Illegally, hacking. Legally, paper pusher.

Short Bio: Tristan was born in cheery old London, to two women who tried their best to raise a moral and smart boy. However, due to 'bad genes' as one of his mothers said, there was always something cheeky and immoral about the young man. He always was bending rules, without trying to 'break' them, which still got him into trouble. His favorite way to bend the rules was by hacking. He slacked off in school, but always seemed to have good grades, and even graduated with honors. (He would pass the tests all of his own, but he never did the home work which would pull down his grades. He would then fix that later.)

He discovered his love of hacking from changing his grades, even if it did get him in quite the bit of trouble. He would never go to University like his mothers would want, and is currently wanted in a few countries, and no longer welcome in his childhood home. His parents did not approve of his life of crime, and made that very clear to him. He did take a day job to help pay with the bills, but he rather hated it, and used his skills to help others, as he was a paper pusher for an insurance company. His skills soon came to the attention of the library, as well as his smarts, and he received an invitation. He took it, happily.
