## Description

### Distinguishing Features

Covered in scars- Raked in large claw marks, six across the face, five behind the neck, countless down the back, abdomen, and across the hands and fingers. Bleached blonde hair with dark unkempt roots and eyebrows, betraying that it's fake. Always Always Always wearing a tan trenchcoat affectionately referred to as "Scartissue"; accidentally mimics the scars on her body, since the beast would have torn through the jacket to leave any marks. The slices in the jacket are sewn up with a similar (but not exact) coloured thread, looking like scars, hence the name.

### Personality Traits

## Background

### History

Beck Rider was an isolated, lonely child; since she could take care of herself, her hardened farmer parents considered that as a success and mostly just left her to her own devices. Growing up on a farm in Bobcaygeon also kept her from having friends in the neighbourhood, and being the smartest person in her class (or at least the only one willing to focus on school) lead her to not have many, if any, friends- up until leaving to Toronto to study philosophy on a full scholarship.

One of the classes in her program was on World Religions- and ever the over-achiever, good jewish girl Beck insisted on interacting with the rest of the religions they would be studying in order to better understand them. Not because she was actually invested, however; simply because she had wanted to be better than the others in her class who only stuck to the books. One of the religions spoken about was Paganism, and so Beck decided that a simple good-luck spell on a powerful night of the year would be good enough to say she'd checked that one off her list.

However, intention is important with magic, and Beck really had none- so when she performed the spell incorrectly, there was nothing to overpower her mistake, and the universe had to take the letter of her incantation as fact over what she was attempting to do. Instead of banishing bad energies, she had instead invoked them by drawing her pentacle from the wrong beginning corner; opening the veil between the world of the living and the dead, and marking her as Prey for an ancient God Of The Hunt. Nameless, but referred to as The Beast.

The next few years became strictly survival. Everything about Beck that would not keep her alive was stripped- interests, hobbies, personality traits outside her base instincts. Although he was always on her heels, somehow Beck managed to outmanoeuvre him every time it truly mattered; thanks, sometimes, to a mysterious figure that would appear to assist of harshly criticize her. Beck only learned right at the end of her journey why the figure looked like her-

In the future, outside of the Nexus, Beck would give up and rally once more, breaking the fabric of the universe and killing The Beast, becoming its replacement and going back in time to try and save herself. But now, being pulled from that universe, she may have a shot at just getting to finally rest.

### Motivations and Goals

She just wants peace. If she can make a small, safe, quiet life for herself (and maybe adopt a few dogs), she would be exceptionally content. And now that there is no physical violence in the Nexus Hub, plus she's insulated and protected from The Beast, she finally has the chance to be able to do that.
