Rose’s Background
Name: Rose
Full Name: Red rose of the trellis outside my window that I look upon.
Description:
Height: 4'8, weight: 75 pounds, sex: female
Her hair is the color of flame literally, a mixture of reds oranges and yellows and seems luminescent even without light. Her skin is light ice blue. Her eyes (the irises anyway) match the deepest reds of her hair and are luminescent like her hair. In her mouth are a set of animal like fangs. Those only become really evident when she smiles. Despite her upbringing her skin does not show many scars and she seems to heal fairly neatly. Her armor looks to be crafted by an expert in animal skin working. It seems to be painted to blend in as much as possible with the forest. Her arms, legs, hands, and feet show the signs of numerous breaks and improper setting most of which has long since healed. While not overly attractive or unattractive, she has a strange alien beauty about her that is almost ethereal in its nature and seems to make it even easier to stare at her when she wants your attention. Her speech is in heavily accented common and her elven only slightly less accented. Although she has spent several decades with non-elves and non-fae, she still considers them and many of their customs strange. Her nature is very alien as VERY few exist who are like her and often comes out despite her efforts to hide it. She does her best to observe and try to understand the strange situations that arise as best she can. She is not overly devoted to her horse, it was simply an animal given to her to ride that has been surprisingly durable. Her weapon is a quarterstaff, and she becomes apprehensive when in close proximity to metals.
Currently she is wearing woven flaxen pants and a long shirt under her armor her hands are hidden by her leather gloves. At Deirdre's suggestion she has begun tying up her hair at night and wears a veil to hide the majority of her face, especially the fangs which seem severely off-putting to those she has met for reasons she does not fully understand yet.

Participants in the Pentagon simulations were sometimes of very high rank, including members of Congress and White House insiders as well as senior military officers. The identity of many of the participants remains secret even today. It is a tradition in US simulations (and those run by many other nations) that participants are guaranteed anonymity. The main reason for this is that occasionally they may take on a role or express an opinion that is at odds with their professional or public stance (for example portraying a fundamentalist terrorist or advocating hawkish military action), and thus could harm their reputation or career if their in-game persona became widely known.

...former US president Ronald Reagan was a keen visitor to simulations conducted in the 1980s, but as an observer only. An official explained: "No president should ever disclose his hand, not even in a war game". Para,6 |
