Lindsay "Ametis" Hemmingson

=• Early Life •= Lindsay was born and raised in Niceville, Florida. Her parents had both been scientists and worked for a company a few miles outside of Pensacola. The drive was long, but the pay was nice and gave them the opportunity to live close to Lindsay's mother's mother. Around the time she was two, they were working on an experiment together and it had gone horribly wrong. The fire in the laboratory set at least half of the building on fire. Although repairs were made to the building, it couldn't replace the lives that were lost. She was then sent to live with her grandmother, who was the closest family relative.

=• Biography •= She graduated high school at seventeen near the top of her class and had received a few scholarships to universities in the area. She attended college and for the first year everything appeared to be going well. It wasn't until her ex boyfriend grew jealous of her lab partner did things begin to turn sour. His scheme of revenge went swimmingly, more so than he could have ever dreamed. Her scholarship was taken away and suddenly she was faced with the choice of leave university or find some other way to pay for it. Lindsay's grandmother was unable to pay for it, although she offered multiple times to be her grandchild's benefactor. The idea was tempting. But she refuted. She would go to university without being a burden on anyone and she certainly didn't want her grandmother faced with the debt college tuition would amount. She was hired as a receptionist at a company who chose to overlook the less than stellar claims that had been placed against her. The money had started to add up; but not fast enough. It was then that her grandmother had grown ill. Every cent that had belonged to both of their names was thrown into saving the one family member Lindsay had ever known. Lindsay's grandmother was under constant survalence. Their home was sold in the effort to pay doctors bills, but the money wasn't adding up. That's when someone came to Lindsay. He slunk in, crawled under Lindsay's skin. Made promises about how everything would turn out fine... If she came to work for him. Her less than respectable job was a secret, for obvious reasons, but it paid off slowly. The few hours inbetween her day shift and her night shift were spent visiting the hospital or sleeping on a generous friend's couch. Things, although nearing rock bottom, didn't look as gloomy as they once did. One night as Lindsay was leaving work, her boss stopped her. He said he had a proposition for her. She stuck around, the prospect of money causing her not to notice the feral glint in his eyes or the way he hungrily licked his lips. She was attacked and was miraculously unharmed. Her boss was a little less fortunate. His unmoving corpse laid on the thick carpet of the dressing room. His eyes were sightlessly trained onto a spot on the ceiling, his fingers clasped into a tight fist. She ran and the next day an order called the Templars had shown up at her friend's door asking about her whereabouts. She was frightened and grabbed whatever she could and ran out the back door. But it was futile. A man dressed in red had pinned her up against the stone home's wall. A scream had prepared itself in her throat, but was not fast enough. She had blacked out and awoke in a large, finely furnished office with a man promising care for her grandmother and a home that consisted of an actual bed instead of a borrowed couch. She didn't refuse.

=• Personality •= Lindsay is quite the charmer. With witty comments, flirty dialogue, and the slight comedic touch, she enjoys to be social. There are quite few moments in which she will be rather shy, but there are a few things that still make her blush. She's a romantic at heart and believes in loyalty and honor above all else, which influences a lot of her actions.

=• Random Information •= She's a lover of books, classic and new. She can normally be found at the library or in the Horned God in London.

=• Favorite Quotation •= "When you depart from me sorrow abides, and happiness takes his leave." - (Much Ado About Nothing - Act 1, Scene 1).

=• Story So Far •= After a month of living on the streets of London, she took up residency with a former fling. This led to her need to be useful and thus encouraged her to get a job at the Temple Club working in the library. Being recruited by the Templars, she is not the average book duster and instead is their finder of rare books and scrolls. Anything that can be written down and has a general location, she goes out to find it. Because of her tango with poverty, she finds herself doing extracurricular work so to speak and picks up items of worth for the collectors that hire her on the side and definitely off the record.
