	"Arsonist's Lullabye", Hozier When I was a child, I'd sit for hours Staring into open flame Something in it had a power Could barely tear my eyes away All you have is your fire And the place you need to reach Don't you ever tame your demons But always keep 'em on a leash ; "Things We Lost in The Fire", Bastille (You said) we were born with nothing And we sure as hell have nothing now These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire ;

Calamity "I fell down into that dark chasm, but the flame burned on and on."
-- Joshua Graham, Fallout: New Vegas

Overview

Appearance: Calamity is slight, hiding wiry muscles and surprising flexibility behind their freckled skin and sea green eyes. They keep their dark curly hair short and their clothes practical, making a point not to stand out in a crowd. They're most often seen in a ratty sweatshirt, with a dark green bandana around their neck, and a worn and heavy looking backpack.

Personality: They're impulsive, and have a firey temper that rears its head just as quickly as it subsides. Get on they're good side and they're pretty loyal, but they tend to keep people at arms reach.

All You Have Is Your Fire - Calamity's always playing with fire, they're the type

to flip open their zippo on the bus and pass the flame from finger to finger just because they can. They've got an incredible amount of control, makes you wonder how they got that way.

Rebel Without a Clue - Sure, they've got a decent amount of clout with one of the local gangs in Hunting Park now, but they still kinda do their own thing, for the most part. But if you're looking to get something torched, and have some cash to throw their way, they're not gonna ask questions.

Don't You Wanna Be A Superhero? - If you like comics, Calamity'll probably like you. They spend a lot of time at Amalgam Comics and Coffeehouse, and their interest and knowledge about characters and plotlines rivals some of the staff's. Just don't ask too many questions about how they got into comics in the first place.

True Trans Soul Rebel - Calamity is queer and trans, out and proud. They can often be found hanging out around The Attic Youth Center. But maybe it's time to explore some of the other queer havens around the city? After all, they're gonna age out of the services The Attic provides pretty soon.

Contacts

Miz Kelly: I think I'd be in a hell of a lot more trouble if she didn't keep poking around.

Finley: I guess this whole thing about secrets brought us a little closer, didn't it? I'm pretty fuckin' okay with that.
- What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools? And all we have, we lose?

Rena: Alright, so you're back. And we're just supposed to...forget the past year?
- You're by my side, it's live or die. Why chase tomorrow when we've got today?

Phaedra: No one used me for my shit like they used you. But we still got away from fucked up situations, and that's gotta mean something. And it feels good to hold your hand.
