− | + | ''Cassidy has an aura that mixes old Hollywood and high-rolling Vegas glamour that makes almost everyone around her take notice as she moves with grace among the crowds, able to look most men dead in the eye at 5'10. Long black hair that is never loose slinks down to her hips if it is in her customary loose braid, and her eyes are a jewel-tone green that glitters with a blazing fire that seems dangerously attractive. None of her clothes are designer, but somehow, she makes up for it with her own body and the vivid colors she chooses, mainly scarlet, coblat blue, and rich honey-gold. Her stance is very solid for such a pretty lady.'' | |

With ten motes, she can flare like the noonday sun, lightening the (Permanent Essence x 10) yards around her, and for the rest of the scene she gets additional lethal and bashing soak equal to her essence against attack by all creatures of darkness. She can also add her Essence to the minimum number of dice she rolls for any attack made against a CoD. This part also comes into effect when she uses 11-15 motes of Peripheral Essence. | With ten motes, she can flare like the noonday sun, lightening the (Permanent Essence x 10) yards around her, and for the rest of the scene she gets additional lethal and bashing soak equal to her essence against attack by all creatures of darkness.

He watched as the man ran away in a burst of speed, and then approached the glowing woman, asking how the fuck did she go off like that. |
<br>Well, Xander was never good with introductions with cute girls, but Cassidy didn't mind. They exchanged numbers and Xander works as a bouncer at Lucky Star now.

− | Cassidy doesn't talk much about her childhood, but apparently, it was enough to leave her with no faith in the Christian god. Casey Marlin ran away from home at age 19, with the wits about her to take all forms of identification as well, and headed to Vegas in hopes to put her voice to good use. She did well for a time, until a producer came up against the still-gangly girl's morals. Casey's reaction to an offer involving certain... favors to be exchanged ended up with him with a broken nose and she storming out with the producer screaming that she would never work in his casinos.<br> | + | Cassidy doesn't talk much about her childhood, but apparently, it was harsh enough to leave her with no faith in the Christian god.

So, for a year, the newly dubbed Cassidy Starbreeze worked in bars and in cafes as a waitress, not looking for a break, but focusing on turning her voice into a finely tuned instrument. If she couldn't get a job in his places all because she wouldn't debase herself, then his places were not worth it. Finally, she did get a break, strangely on break at the karaoke bar she was working at, cooing into the microphone at the request of some Japanese tourists. A man who ran a club of his own, the Lucky Star, asked if he could convince her to work at his place. She happily agreed, and as he expected, her voice began to bring in the crowds. He didn't get any other benefits from her, but with the other girls willing, and Cassidy bringing in people, he didn't mind very much.<br> | So, for a year, the newly dubbed Cassidy Starbreeze worked in bars and in cafes as a waitress, not looking for a break, but focusing on turning her voice into a finely tuned instrument.

One day, Cassidy woke up like she normally did, at 11 am. But instead of eating at home, for once, she decided to treat herself. While she was at a small cafe that had been recommended by a coworker, a bible-thumper went into a tirade of abuse about the 'whores of Babylon,' including herself, and Cassidy snapped, taking the man outside into the plaza and going into her own ice-cold retort about assumptions and tearing his arguments down, piece by piece, to the applause of the crowd. And then she turned on her heel, walking away and trying not to scream. A part of her envied that he actually had something to believe in, and as noon came, there was a pulse as she finally let her fury out, slamming her fist into a wall.<br> | One day, Cassidy woke up like she normally did, at 11 am.

Cassidy doesn't have much of an idea of what is going on, though she sometimes hears a soft comforting whisper in her ear. She knows that the Inner Fire is not normal, but she believes it both something within and without. If she can encourage the fire, that may free people from the delusions of the so-called 'loving' god that drove her parents into their beliefs that convinced them to punish her, who drive others to fanatical levels of intolerance all over the world. | Cassidy doesn't have much of an idea of what is going on, though she sometimes hears a soft comforting whisper in her ear.
