Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter? Taylor and Brandon had both always been able to see the shadowy things when they were young. Told that what they were seeing was just their imaginations, they kept quiet about it as they grew up, realizing that it wasn't something that was to be talked about. Life went on normally, until the twins went to college.
Taylor left one Friday night to go out with some friends, telling Brandon to stick around as he had something she wanted. When she returned, Brandon was gone. It didn't strike her as weird until the next day, when he wasn't responding to any of her calls. It only fully set in Brandon was missing when they found his truck abandoned on a back road, fast food left in the passenger's seat.
There was a search, but Taylor's parents didn't press it any further when nothing came out of it despite her begging them to do so. Angry, upset, when Taylor got the offer she accepted it. She didn't want to stay here any longer.
Weapon Ability Swift Strikes | Quick attack - Taylor gets a quick boost of energy to hit her opponent multiple times with her sickles.
Physical Description: Eye Colour: Dark green Hair Colour/Style: Red headed and curly, tamed into a messy braid. Skin Colour: Farmer's tan with freckles Clothing Style/Colours: Practical clothing in browns, greens, and creams. Denim shorts paired with a printed tee and brown cowboy boots, along with a necklace with two simple gold bands on it. A matching gold band with a single emerald embedded in the band, on her left ring finger. Her coat has to have a hood, otherwise CC on the design. She's sporty, so perhaps short or rolled up sleeves? The scarf is a dark green, like her eyes. Extra: She's short, about 5'3". Her weapons should be pretty basic looking, just some glowing runes along the blades in green. Black metal maybe? But nothing too fancy. References:[Album] Take 'em with a grain of salt, they're a tad old. Art not by me!

Family June Millbrooke Taylor's mother. Forty two, mostly sensible, has more than enough trouble raising the family. Is where Taylor gets her temper from and her height. Her mother is a home-maker, but still helps on the farm when she can.
Daniel Millbrooke Taylor's Father. Forty, a hardworking man but still with a sense of humor. The opposite of her mother, he's jokes and a calm force in the house when their mother is angry. He's the main force on the farm and loves his job.
Brandon James Millbrooke Taylor's twin, born a minute before her. Not identical, but they look nearly alike.
Maxine Lilly Millbrooke A fourteen year old terror in the form of Taylor's second oldest sister. Has a sharp tongue and temper, she and Taylor are more alike than they like to admit so they butt heads extremely often and are often the source of many loud arguments in the house. She still loves and adores her sister though.
Samantha Anne Millbrooke Taylor's oldest sister and Maxine's twin, a fourteen year old girl who is much more level headed than her sister. Quieter and more likely to pull Maxine in when she gets out of control.
History
Ages 1-5 -Brandon and Taylor are born March 10th to June and Daniel Millbrooke. They're typical babies, although they sometimes seem to be upset by things that aren't there. Their parents think little of it and simply calm them down. -Around age two, Brandon and Taylor start helping out on the farm. It's easy tasks, but it helps get them adjusted to the life. -Brandon and Taylor start kindergarten when they're five, their only interaction they can get with other kids in a farming town outside of play dates their parents previously set up. -Soon after they start school, they start questioning their parents about the shadowy things. The other kids at school can't see them, why can they? Their parents, confused and slightly creeped out, tell them nothing there and it's just their imaginations. After a few more incidents with the other kids, they quickly learn to shut up about whatever the things are.
Ages 6-10 -Maxine and Samantha are born when Brandon and Taylor are six. Brandon and Taylor start helping out more on the farm. -Taylor and Brandon get more adjusted in school, but the shadowy things begin to get... weirder. More noticeable. They do their best to ignore them and succeed.
Ages 11-15 -When the twins are eleven a family moves in to the formerly abandoned property near theirs. When they go over to greet the new neighbors, it's discovered they have a boy named Theodore that's around their age although he prefers to go by Carlton. -Carlton, Brandon, and Taylor are all extremely fast friends and get along famously in school. While Carlton and Taylor are quick to start trouble, Brandon reels them back in, although they occasionally drag Brandon into it too. -The twins have an incident with the shadowy things when they're thirteen, upon where they try to interact with the twins. Carlton, unfortunately around at the moment, sees them scared of apparently nothing. Once they're dragged Carlton away to a safe spot and explain, Carlton puzzles it out for a moment before shrugging and believing them, figuring it to be just some sixth sense. -When they're fourteen, Carlton and Taylor start dating. Brandon is jealous for awhile and can't figure out why. Upon Brandon's fifteenth birthday, he realizes why. He talks it out with the pair and starts dating Carlton in a polyamorous relationship. He and Taylor dance around each other for half a year in a weird game of 'is this incest?' before realizing no, it's not considering they aren't dating each other, and calming down. They hide their relationship, Carlton and Taylor never really talking about it in the first place and no one is the wiser.
Ages 16-19 -The twins and Carlton try to go through a rebellious phase, or as much as kids can when they grow up on a farm. It's short lived and mostly gives way to Taylor and Carlton dragging Brandon along to go on adventures when they can drive. -When they're sixteen, they get a set of matching rings as an early birthday gift for Carlton. It's cheesy, yet they all wear them when they can. -All three of them graduate from high school and get accepted to Texas State University in San Marcos. It's an exciting and happy time, for a little bit. -During the summer of their eighteenth year, Carlton disappears. No one can find him, he's simply disappeared without a trace. Everyone mourns, the twins the most devastated of all. -They twins go to college and continue onward, but they still hope Carlton will show up one day. After a year of trying, they quietly accept his probable death and mourn before moving on.
Age 20 -Taylor goes out one Friday night with her sorority, telling Brandon she'll be back later. He agrees, asks her to not stay out forever as she has something he wants to get from her. -Later that night, Brandon goes out to get some food by himself. While driving on a back road, he sees what looks like Taylor getting ambushed by the shadowy things. He jumps out and chases after her, but it simply looks like she was taken by them and is gone. He searches for an hour, before accepting that she's gone, and in absolute misery walks to a bar. -In the meantime, Taylor arrives back to the dorms after her night out. She finds Brandon gone, figured he went to get food or crash with a friend and decides to go back to her dorm and sleep. -One fake ID and five hours later, Brandon's approached at the bar by some guy in a fancy coat who has an invitation coupled with an explanation. His twin gone, Brandon accepts. -The next day, Taylor wakes up around noon and realizes Brandon's still not back. She calls his friends and finds out they haven't seen or heard from him since last night. In a panic, she calls her parents and when they tell him he's not back home, they call the police. Brandon's truck is found on a back road, although it's off and has gas. There's a search out for Brandon, but it ends quickly after two weeks of finding nothing. Taylor pleads with her parents to try harder, but they refuse. -Taylor stops talking with her family, mostly angry and upset. She's now lost two of the people she loves, and she's unsure what to do. When an offer comes a week later, she accepts.
Misc. -Carlton was the only person who could call her Taytor-tot. -How Taylor's mom managed to get away with two sets of twins, the world may never know. It does run in the family though, as June herself had a pair of twin sisters. -The rings between the twins are because of Carlton. Originally it was just the matching gold set between the three, but when Carlton disappeared Brandon gave his and Carlton's found ring to Taylor as something to make her feel better. He went and got the rings recast in silver, because as much as he didn't want to admit it, he wanted the set too. It did cost him, but to him it was necessary. -Brandon and Taylor were born and raised in Fischer, Texas. They went to college in San Marcos, Texas. -Brandon and Taylor were both majoring in Mechanical Engineering. They were both quite good at it, surprisingly.
