OUT OF THE GAME Natalie was like any child growing up. She had normal child-like interests and hobbies like any girl her age. However, she didn't particularly stand out in her youth. She was often the last one chosen during gym class due to her too-large glasses and mousey demeanor. While not bullied she simply faded into the background. She was just so... ordinary. Her solace was video games. Like many children around the world, she got her first taste of gaming via Nintendo. And when she booted up her Pokemon Silver cartridge she was enthralled. For a moment, she wasn't the awkward little girl who lived in the bad part of town, whose parents barely made ends meet. She was a pokemon trainer — someone destined to save the world! To become champion! And so, life went on, and that little girl grew up into a gorgeous woman. It was quite a shock to everyone around her. Including herself! Suddenly she had eyes on her. Too many eyes that it made her uncomfortable. Talks about getting into the modeling career were had over coffee and sugar-free snacks as she found herself nodding to whatever the manager said. Her mother enthusiastically chattered away — selling her image away for a paycheck. She didn't hate it per se, but she didn't love it either. She found herself once again falling into Nintendo games between shoots. On her vintage N64 (from eBay) she played The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time and Majora's Mask, religiously. As well as Pokemon on various devices when she lounged about. These games became her solace during rough times — something she held near and dear to her heart. And then it all came to a crashing halt. A car accident left her body scarred, damaged, and partially paralyzed. Recovery was possible but the scars would never fade. She was useless now but had plenty of money to fall back on. She hid away in a modest abode — taking up an online course for game design on the side. In order to finish her college degree she never completed beforehand. And when news of Nintendo making a Pokemon MMO hit her, she was instantly enthused. Nostalgic and curious, she knew she would love such a world. To escape her troubles in life if only for a moment. And so, Redead was created.

INSIDE THE GAME Redead is everything Natalie wishes she could be. Bright, cheery, and charismatic, with an added mischievous streak and a tendency to speak his mind. An eccentric and sometimes dramatic sort who expresses himself unrestrained. However, sometimes, Natalie's more serious, morbid, and cynical, nature peeks through. As the jester's mask slips in the face of the player's true emotions. Redead is also a recreation of a character she made. Based on a D&D campaign she was a part of for a few months in college - before plans eventually fell through due to her work. And as such his story was left unfinished. Reviving the character once again, with a few added flourishes — Natalie roleplays Redead somewhat in order to express herself in ways she couldn't in real life. Plus, no one knows who she is - so she can play anonymously to her heart's content. Now she could live a life she couldn't in the real world. As Redead, she wouldn't be that quiet kid in the back of class anymore. or that "cold" model on the runway. She was no longer lost in her daydreams, she was now able to LIVE them. Redead is inspired by her real-life self, however, gender-swapped as male, taller, and more lean-muscled. The scars on his body are similar to the ones she had in real life but more exaggerated and detailed. A reflection of how she sees herself now. A pale, twisted, walking, talking, husk amongst a vibrant uncaring world.
