Name: Scarlet Rose Taggert

Nickname: None

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Type: Scarlet has always had some abilities, but she reached the true blossoming of her power after an incident three months prior, as explained in the "history" section.

Duration of Stay: Newly awoken from a coma, has been in the facility but comatose for three months, since the "incident"

Abilities: Scarlet can control the integrity of physiology. She can heal by knitting flesh together, and kill by ripping it apart, but it takes every ounce of energy from her. She is also able to mentally explore a body, functioning as a sort of health scan. She likes to call her powers "Anatomancy."

Weaknesses: Scarlet's "ripping flesh apart" ability isn't yet under control, and is subjected to her emotions. Get her angry or upset enough, and she might just accidentally kill you. She has also begun to suspect that the use of her healing and powers actually shortens her lifespan, in essence borrowing her own health to influence the health of others. As such, she tries hard not to use her powers, but she has little skill with physical combat, so she can be somewhat of a drain on the resources of a larger group intent on survival. She's mentally fragile at the moment, and is going through grief.

Appearance: Hallmarks include extremely pale skin, long hair so black it's almost blue, bangs which obscure some of her face, and an extremely narrow frame. When she has a choice, she sticks to black and dark colors, preferring suits or men's clothing over all else. She tends to wear exaggerated eye makeup.

Personality: Scarlet has a hard heart now, but it wasn't always that way. As far as Scarlet's mind is concerned, she murdered a man in cold blood just yesterday. She's still reeling from the incident, still coming to understand the gravity of her actions and her losses, and in a very fragile state of mind. When she's calm, she's stoic but feels intense empathy, and does her best to secretly provide help to people, but absolutely abhors thanks for these actions. She believes people have a moral imperative to try and help each other, and she refuses to accept thanks for being a decent human being. She has difficulties keeping her cool in the face on injustices, but generally tries very hard to keep all of her emotions numbed out. She has recently begun to suspect the use of her powers is slowly killing her, and they're harder to control when she's particularly angry or upset, so she's terrified of her own emotions.

History: She doesn't like to talk about it, but most people know anyway: she killed a man three months ago. Even mentioning that fact can send her into a rage. Scarlet was born to a prominent family, and was born with the ability to heal. Her family helped her hide her talents, and steered her towards a career in medicine, where she could use her talents and earn honor for the family. Scarlet worked her tail off to graduate top of her class in medical school, as her parents insisted. She was living her dream, but the dream was short lived; "the incident" occurred just two weeks into her first surgical residency. She was brought into the facility hours after, and put into a comatose state, presumably until they learned how to limit or suppress the lethal side of her powers. Something happened, and now, she's awake, and unstable.
