TOA Tara
Contents
Background
Tara is a very pale and very shy girl. She's fairly tall, at 5'10", and very thin no matter how much she eats. Her hair is long and a pale enough blond that it looks white, and in the center of her forehead is an odd white star-shaped burst she'll tell you is a scar from a childhood injury.
It's not.
Somewhere in her blood, in the family she's never known, is a unicorn, and some of that blood runs in her veins. She never knew her parents; she was raised by a very rich, very sleazy, very possessive man named Henry who refused to answer any questions about her past. He was arrested for something never explained to her when she was fifteen and she was made a ward of the state.
Henry wanted her for her innate mysticism, and as a result she was terrified of that side of her and tried desperately to escape from it. At seventeen she started taking flying lessons, in part at least because it was as far from occult as she could get.
It was a friend of hers named Mark, an older man who owned her favorite old bookstore, who finally convinced her that running from herself would only get her in trouble, and that the responsible thing to do would be to try to learn about what she had so it wouldn't control her. Mark gave her access to some of the oldest and most unusual books on occult available, and some that weren't ever supposed to be available.
Her senses sharpened and she began to realize just how much was out there. This was about when TOA approached her, and she was reluctantly recruited into its ranks.
She's currently living in a small loft apartment in Soho, a few blocks from Mark's bookstore.

Plans for Tara
As a rule I don't want to spend points on things unrelated to what we actually did on the mission, though this may become a more loose rule. For example, I'm only going to improve my airplane when we use it, or we are planning to use it, etc. It sits easier in my head that way...
- Improve Special Attack
- De-limit the Shots
- Target: Evil (for 1 rank); double damage to evil, no damage to good/neutral. Then I don't need as many ranks :)
- Improve Level
- Improve Unarmed Combat for unicorn kicks, etc.
- Improve Healing
- More HP
- Buff Body (6?)
- Improve Precog
- remove "Uncontrolled"
- Improve plane
- A weapon of some kind
- Possibly get a Mind Barrier (Sorry Ceelie...)
- Max Mind (10)
