"The mind is a terrible thing to waste, the minds of those that would hurt the innocent, less so, I am a warrior of God, his choosen solider, a punishment for my own selfish actions. May he give me peace in the end"
Rowena Lawson was born to one of those broken type of families. Her father ran off with another woman when she was only three, and her mother grew sick by the time she was five.
  She began to find her only comforts at the local chruch, where atleast there was always someone to talk to about the things you never wanted to tell anyone else for fear they would laugh at you. She began to take it to heart that the powers that be do everything for a reason, that you live this way for a purpose and that if you don find a purpose you become lost quickly.
  When she was 13 her mother died. They'd known it was coming, and the state came and put her in a foster home, then sent her to live with her father. It was there she learned she also had a brother but her father spent so much of his time drunk that  she was never sure if his stories held a grain of truth ot not, or even how to find him.
  When she hit puberty that's when things started to get strange. She'd always been perceptive, but the little flashes of insight that came when she wanted to know where her father was or what he'd been doing began to scare her. What scared her more was when she began to learn to control her abilities, and started to use them more, she would use them to check people, to see if they were "safe" some of them actually were, others weren't.When she told her pastor he thought she was possesed at the very least and his further actions drove her from the church she held dear.
  Soon living with her father became to much and she pushed through the courts getting herself emancipated at 16, getting her GED rather then finishing school, taking law courses, working at the police station as a file clerk, learning her way around the business so to speak. She worked her but off, focusing on the fact maybe she had other family out there, and maybe she could find them.
  It took her years, finally leading her to New Bremen where she found she did indeed have a brother. Robert was living in the woods between Mesa and New Bremen, it took all she had to find him there, and when she did, he acted like a feral beast, what confused her though was how old he looked, she'd always assumed he was younger, but this man could easily be ten years her senior.
  She started looking into it, you know how they say knowledge can be deadly? This was that sort of knowledge.
  She'd already started working for the NBPD by this time as a consultant to Cheif Milligan, now one of her close friends, and formed a group with two other psychics, finally allowing herself to beleive her powers were not of the devil and intent on using them to help, barely sleeping, stalking her brother after hours.
  And then she was caught in the act. Her own family, the last of her flesh and blood caught her watching him. He was furious. and slamed through her car window with a force she didn't belive dragging her out before him and a female friend of his. they dragged her home, only at the womans request as he would of been quite content to kill her there.
  She spent three days there in hell. Her brother attacked her, opening her arm with the demon's claws of the devil, and feed from her sucking the life out of her. His friend feeding her her own blood promising her to let her go if she did. The dizzy headed rush of the blood in her teasing her making her want more, the love of this new savior greater then that she had for her savoir above.
  Crashing is never easy and it hit her hard. When she returned home finally the police were looking for her. That's the things about working for the cops I guess they look out for their own, especailly in New Bremen. Her best friends, her cabal mates, found her frist, literally raping her mind to find out what happened, and then the police found her. She spent the next week in the hospital,constant pain, wanting only to go back to her savior, some points so bad her friends would have to have her restrained to the bed, under constant watch by police, friends, coworkers, heart aching, feeling lonely, her new found strength bleeding away..
  The only thing that kept her from running straight back to her savior when she finally got out, weak and sick from her treatments was fear. Fear of what her so-called friends would do to her savior, fear that her savoir would be disaapointed in her weakness, she saw her onces more, and even that was almost to much.
  She settled into work imersening herself completely in it. Some days the only other person she would see was the police cheif, so it really wasn't that much of a surprize when she started to try and fill the hole in her life with him. Of course it didn't work.
  She flinted avout, a flickering flame trying to find a cause to distract her. Well when you srech for something, you're bound to find in, though you might not like the source. She found her cause in her friend Daniel Thornton. A man with beliefs and a cause very simular to her own, but completely different from hers as well. They fight constantly, warrior and scholar, hunter and hunter, completely different ends of the specturm, and as her greif over the loss over her savoir starts to lessen, she finds herself falling for this married man. His wife pregnant and threatening to leave him already, and she falls into trouble yet again...
