background

Chloe grew up in a small town. A sleepy place in New England that could bore anyone to tears. The only thing that made it interesting was her. Generation after generation was granted the gift of sight, since the earliest days in the Tang Dynasty as the Li family was formed. It was a gift granted to the first born Daughter of each family line, passed to her by her Grandmother after her Father was the only child born to her. 

It was a gift her Father and Mother would have rather not been bestowed to her. Mostly her Father, who saw what the gift had done to his Mother, and her Mother before. He knew that it was a burden too much for any one child, but his Mother insisted that it needed to be passed on. Without it, family legacy would be lost with him. So, regardless of her Parent’s feelings, Chloe was bestowed with the sight. 

It started simply enough, being able to sense and see small incidents before they happened. Someone falling off their bike, the narrow miss she’d have with the school bus one morning— all things that would concern a little girl. 

But, as she grew, so did the severity of her visions. They started to become more dire, violent even. It came to a head when she saw the death of her best friend at the time. It was the first time Chloe had tried to truly interviene, and force a change in fate. But, she was quick to learn that changing the outcome of someone’s fate was not so simple. Her friend, despite always being impressed by Chloe’s foresight— as she so affectionately referred to it around others who did not know the truth —she refused to budge on attending some stupid party. 

Chloe was already grieving her friend by the time the news broke the morning after. 

It was that incident that motivated Chloe to leave home. She knew she was not destined for life in a small town, anyway, but with the knowledge that she couldn’t even protect the people she grew to care about? She had no choice but to leave, if only to protect herself from learning their fate before them. 

She joined a troupe of other humans like her— gifts and awareness of something beyond themselves. It was the only time she’s felt quite secure, but security is scary. Chloe still fears that closeness that she gets with other people, worrying what she may begin to see. So, when the group landed in Vegas, she chose to stay. Staying, while potentially irresponsible, felt like the best possible choice for her. 

The Midnight Underground is the new place where she dips her toes in the water. And, well, she would leave it if things got too hairy. But, there are claws in her now. Leaving is not an option until her debts are paid.

Chloe always loved the idea of travel, ever since she was a kid. She could seldom do much about it as she wasn’t brought up rich enough for regular travel, but she read every book she could get her hands on, and would make her own adventure

The choice to leave home was almost too easy for a lot of reasons. She wanted to get away from her parents because of the fact they didn’t support her and because she didn’t want to somehow hurt them with her powers. Either through learning something she shouldn’t, or accidentally pushing them towards a fate she wanted them to avoid

When she left home after High School, she joined a traveling group of people not too dissimilar to her. There were some other oracles, and some other humans with power, too. She learned a lot about her powers from them. A lot of her control and focus comes from tricks she got from them 

During her time on the road with them, she started exploring her identity more. She started getting tattoos and piercings, and now has patchwork tattoos all over her arms, hips, and sternum 

She also rides a motorcycle cause it’s a thrill. She also figures she’ll have some vision if she’s meant to crash, so it’s safer for her than most people that ride

When she landed in Vegas, she split from the group once hse learned about the Midnight Underground. She’s not sure what about Las Vegas called to her, but something did. She has no intentions of leaving yet
