Marie is a stern and dead-set woman. She projects an atmosphere of utmost professionalism when on either of her jobs, and expects the same of others she works with. She is a new detective recruited by NSPD after her name appeared in the history of a recently deceased police officer, who she allegedly had history with. Marie doesn't disclose the details of this with anyone, but her skills are easily recognizable. As an independent private investigator, Marie has a reputation for being very capable, discreet, and resourceful. Marie keeps her personal life close to the chest, and no one can say for certain why she dodges the census, but she's clearly on board with the rest of NSPD, assuming the affiliation with officer Pilgrim counts for anything.

The earliest turning point of Marie's life began with a gunshot. Ever since that day, she had officer Nathan Pilgrim to thank for helping her leave a terrible home behind. On her 18th birthday, she took whatever she could from home and left. Pilgrim helped her make sure she would be safe, and gave her his number in case she needed help. He was like a father to Marie, and when she considered detective work, he encouraged her fully. After spending a few years to build up a stable homelife, Marie eventually opened an office in New Seattle as a private investigator at the age of 23. Work was slow at first, but she steadily earned a reputation as a professional among law firms and some other private individuals. Everything was fine for roughly two years, until Marie vanished one day.

No one was entirely sure where she went. It was as if she simply stopped existing, not even Nathan Pilgrim could track her down, but she was an adult capable of looking after herself. She had a bad past, and maybe she just needed to make peace with that somehow now that she had stability. That was what Nathan thought, and he was somewhat correct. After she eventually returned at the age of 26, she did her best to avoid Old Man Pilgrim. She had done things that would have disappointed him, things that would ruin the life and career she had carved out for herself. But, she had peace. That was enough.

For the next six years, life was back to normal for her. She had cases to work, and even met a woman she turned out to be very happy with. Nathan had retired, but now lies dead at the hands of the Morse Code Killer. Marie attended his funeral, estranged as she was. It was during the end of his funeral where NSPD detectives approached her. They knew that Marie was an old friend of his, and that she had a professional career as an investigator. The case of this serial killer was personal to her, and that was enough of a reason for her to be recruited and handed a badge. The rest is history, and Marie wants it to stay that way.

Officer Nathan Pilgrim - A retired police officer, and one of the Morse Code Killer's most recent victims. After his death, investigators turned up evidence of someone named Marie Shepard having history with him. Marie had already heard of his death, and was planning to investigate herself. NSPD brought her onboard as an "official" detective in light of this. Marie never told them, but she owed Nathan Pilgrim her life. That man was very, very important to her and where she came from.

Natalie Wilkins - Marie's significant other. She tends to stay out of criminal investigations, but works as an anonymous journalist in the city. Sometimes they trade notes.

Carl Black - She has never heard that name before.

@Blizz

Accepted move her over.

[DarckLeon]

Got a question gm, I really want my guy to be a veteran but one that entered the police force directly when he was young, would that count as a refused or no data start?

[DeadDrop]

@DarckLeon Kings County.

[DarckLeon]

Maybe I misunderstood but I thought a King County start made you ex-military. When I mean veteran I mean that my guy was in the police for a long time, but had no prior job before that.

@DarckLeon

Do no prior service and I'll spin a hook for you.

[DarckLeon]

Got it, thanks chief!

Perl Smitherson

_{PERL SMITHERSON
◄ 23 ▎ FEMALE ▎ 5"4 ►}

_{P R O F I L E}

Perl comes across to the everyday person as a typical twenty-three-year-old girl. Sweet and caring, with a good sense of humour and an easy way about her. Those that knew her deeper than surface level knew that was all a mask. Her real face was one of anger, sarcasm and pettiness. For the most part anyway. Of course, she had good days where their pettiness and anger turned into playfulness and good-mannered teasing. With a select few, she was even selfless and thoughtful, but she seldom let people that close.

_{D A Y S - G O N E}

Perl was raised by two very prolific activists, being experts at sneaking into places they had no business being. They passed this along to their daughter who also took up the mantel of breaking and entering. She became very good at it, taking down more than a few companies in her time by stealing incriminating documents and releasing them to the public. When the world went to hell, she did what she could to help but that mostly involved burglarising some very rich people to help those less fortunate. She was only caught once, a conversation was had and she joined the NSPD. She quickly gained a reputation as an ice queen, someone to avoid unless you seriously needed some help on locked door cases, robberies or anything that involved someone getting in or out of somewhere they shouldn’t have been able to.

REFUSED

_{M E M O R I E S}

Her parents - Both as still alive but serving time in separate prisons for various charges. All three of them write to each other regularly.

Jake Booth - Perl’s ex boyfriend and partner in crime. While she joined the force, he became a professional criminal and they decided to part ways. Things didn’t end well, however. Jake never forgave her for turning to the ‘dark side’

KingPixel - Perl’s online friend and mentor. They helped her with tips and tricks on how to avoid being caught by the police and offered her emotional support when her parents were arrested. She’s never met them in person or even knows their real name
