Character History:

Cassie grew up as the daughter as the most powerful Watcher in the world. Watchers are people who have the ability to see the future. Division, a government agency designed to capture and experiment on those with powers, comes in the night and takes Cassie's mother away as she was previously an agent of Division who had gone rogue against the agency. Cassie manages to escape so that she is not caught because Cassie is a Watcher as well. While her powers are way more underdeveloped as she is very young and not as practiced, her mother does not want Division to take her too.

After these events unfold Cassie travels the world all on her own for awhile showing a great deal of resourcefulness and street smarts in spite of her young age. She is searching for any sign of where her mother is while simultaneously trying to find a suitcase she continuously has visions of. Her visions lead her to a Mover (telekinetic) named Nick whose father was also a rogue agent of Division's and a friend of Cassie's mother. She forces herself into his life and does not ask but informs him that he will be helping her. While trying to convince Nick of the importance of helping her they are attacked by a group known as the Triad who are searching for the same suitcase Cassie is. They were led to Cassie by a Watcher in their group. The suitcase contains a syringe filled with a substance that will make people with powers even more powerful. It was created by Division as a means to create their own super army. After the attack Nick agrees to help Cassie. They are led deeper and deeper into a plot against Division. Cassie realizes through her visions and the information they gather that she is an integral part in taking down Division, something her mother had foreseen many years ago.

As their mission moves forward, Cassie's visions lead her and Nick to a number of people with powers all intent on helping them and Kira, a pusher, who has lost her memories that it turns out Nick had a previous relationship with. Kira escaped Division experimentation and is being hunted by Division's top agent named Carver. Kira is integral to finding the case as she is the one who hid it but she has no memory of it. Cassie is not a very big fan of Kira as she continuously has visions of all of their deaths as soon as they meet her. It turns out that Kira had her memories purposely wiped after escaping Division so that Division agents would not be able to use their powers to find the suitcase. With help from several powerful people and Cassie's visions they determine the location of the suitcase but as soon as Cassie foresees anything so does the watcher in the Triad's group making it very difficult to outwit them. Cassie, feeling inadequate against a more powerful watcher, attempts to use alcohol to make her visions stronger, something she remembered her mother did. After a bout of drunken hilarity and passing out it turns out it helps. She eventually is cornered by the Triad's Watcher only for a Wiper to completely erase the rival Watcher's memories, something Cassie saw but the rival Watcher did not. Nick comes up with plan to retrieve the case, gives instructions in envelopes to each member of the group to open at certain times, and then wipes his memory making it impossible for any enemy Watchers to figure out the plan in time. After retrieving the case it turns out Cassie's sole reason for wanting it so bad is she plans on trading the case to Division for her mother's freedom, revealing her true driving purpose.


Abilities/Special Powers:
Cassie has the power of precognition.

Third-Person Sample:
Cassie stills, her head slightly throbbing. She's seen it again. Her death. That, she is used to by now. What really scares her about this time is she's seen her mom's death too. That has never happened before and she does not take it well. She doesn't know how and she doesn't know why. All she knows is this is Kira's fault. She knew that girl would be trouble. She just didn't think it'd be this much trouble.

Explaining it to Nick was useless. Of course he wouldn't listen. They needed to get rid of this girl before she got them all killed. Nick didn't agree. Dead people was not one of her favorite things to see but it was all her visions seemed to be of lately. Cassie huffed as she turned from Nick to storm off. Men! Always thinking with their downstairs brain.

As she stormed through the streets of Hong Kong, her mind returned to her latest vision. She began to tear up at the vision of her mom dead but she quickly wiped her eyes so nobody would see. For more than a year Cassie had been looking for her mom. She can't have spent all this time trying to save her only for her to end up dead because of some random girl. She shook her head, trying to get the vision out of her mind. It wasn't working. It kept creeping back up on her. She closed her eyes and she saw her death. Over and over.

Cassie began to remember the past so she would not have to look at the future. She remembered her mother tying her shoelaces when she was five. She remembered snuggling up under the covers when she was seven because of the monster in her closet. At nine, she was riding her bike through the park as her mother watched. At 12, her mother was screaming for her to run as Division dragged her away. These memories left Cassie with a new resolve. She wasn't going to let this vision dictate her future. The future can always change. She just had to try harder to change it.


First-Person Sample:
[The video feed turns on to reveal a young girl, looking sullen. She stays quiet for a minute before letting out an annoyed huff and rolling her eyes.]


Well, I sure didn't see this coming. Any chance my captors are going to fill me in on what's going on? Or is this whole Wonderland theme one of Division's latest completely insane experiments? Because let me tell you, I don't get it. Whatever happened to the old fashioned locking us in cells and sticking needles in our arms? Because honestly if I start seeing beheadings and talking cats, I think I'd prefer the needles. Also, where the hell is Nick?
