Rainbow Starflower

Rainbow Starflower June 1985

**Rainbow Starflower** is a character role-played by SkaldFKACC.

## General

Rainbow Starflower's life is a puzzle even for himself, with his records seemingly unavailable for entire portions of his life. Likely a result of government and international corruption surrounding the circumstances of his life, the raw truth of his life has been undiscoverable, even to himself. The following is Rainbow's own recollection, and the little information gained by private investigators.

## Early Life

Charlie Jameson was born into a fatherless home in 1955, as the sole provider his mother Janice Jameson struggled to make ends meet, having to drop out of college to raise Charlie. In the early1960s she joined a cult *''The Pacifist Alternative Commune''*. Charlie's experience in this commune were mixed. At first their commitment to non-violence was highly promising, but as time went on their alternative to corporal punishment began to become more cruel.

**Justice By Exclusion:**

*"When people misbehaved in the commune, they were punished by exclusion. This began as simply not including the people in fun and games, but as the commune went on it became more severe. Sometimes weeks or months of not being allowed to join in or leave, where everyone in the commune would simply not say a word to you, or acknowledge your existence what so ever.*

*No eye contact, no hugs, no acknowledgement at all. I got three months of that one time, I was a bad kid. But I learned that there were certain things nobody could ignore. Things that've come to be symbols of truth, reality and nature to me. Elements of the world that are always on my side, at least deep down." ~* Rainbow Starflower

The cult had FIB moles which were originally tracking the commune leader due to his involvement in spreading LSD around the state. But in 1968, the commune leader died along with a number of others in the commune as a result of an act of deliberate arson. The FIB agents were aware that Charlie, now legally 'Rainbow Starflower' was the one responsible. As a result, Rainbow was placed into a psychiatric facility for three years.

## Early Adulthood

At 16, Rainbow Starflower had been retrieved from the Psychiatric Institute by his British biological father and was immediately placed into a prep school, and three years later graduated to Sandhurst. His reports show that he scored well in tests, was intelligent and had an aptitude for humanities and military strategy, taking great interest in the history of the SAS.

*"My father was so different to Janice and the commune. He taught me a lot, and life was very regimented. I was told when to wake up, when to go to sleep, what to eat, what to do at every minute of the day. It was comforting after the Psychiatric Institute. Everything was always clean, people were quiet and deliberate. Everything was a strange kind of sane, but I couldn't imitate it too well. My father knew the dean, and also knew the higher ranks at Sandhurst and seemed to have some authority to them. I could never figure out why."*

Despite ending up in jail a number of times, and sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempted murder, then despite being in solitary confinement due to his tendency to fight others in the prison he was released and was immediately hired by MI6. Rainbow doesn't share much about this, but it looks like his biological father paved his way into the intelligence industry. Rainbow was trained on a fast-track to field work.

*"I loved it. It didn't last long enough. It was all go-go-go, so much information, so much having to think on your feet. There was no space in my head to wonder what life was about or what was wrong or right. You just heard orders and ran. The best memory in my life is my time being put through SAS tests.*

*I would have passed but my team work was terrible, I was happy to leave people behind who couldn't keep up and they weren't interested in that. I was also way younger than everyone else there. I started to get the sense that my father was pulling every string he could get, and I just wish he could have told me more about himself. There is gratefulness in me for him...*

*... of course, then I was off straight to training by **[redacted].** It all went very down hill about a year after that, where I was sent on a full on operation that could have lasted my whole life."*
