"My name is Allison Thorn. This is my story."

"The buzzing is always with me now. it is part of me. Or, more accurately I am part of it, part of the collective. Like the low hum of a radio in the back of my mind, barely audible, tuned to a specific station and set at a specific volume for a reason. Just beyond what can be heard clearly, there is a voice, a pattern, I can grasp at the faint words to form the meaning. The lessons are there but not easily understood. This is Gaia and her 'education protocol', her attempt to awaken my potential. Potential for what? Light or Dark? Order or Chaos? I am not sure."

"I remember when it happened. It happened while I slept. The vortices of synchronized membranous wings struck like a tempest on my skin, followed by the prick of tiny claws across my face. That horrid sensation of suffocation as the bee crawled inside my nasal cavity. Was this metaphorical, my dreaming brain's attempt to process the information I was gifted with? Or, perhaps it was all too frighteningly literal. I don't know. That is when the bee injected the raw nectar of knowledge into that honeycomb of gray matter I call a brain, where it was digested and reconstituted over the following week while I slept. No. That isn't how it was. I was digested and reconstituted over the following week."

"Before all that I was an ordinary small-town kid. Well, at least that is what I thought. I also thought my parents were normal. Well as normal as a couple of quirky hippies with a good grasp of druidic magic, alchemy, and other assorted occult knowledge can be. I didn't know they were former Illuminati. or at least they thought they were. The reality is secret societies don't see things that way. Once in there is no getting out. The Illuminati was nice enough to let them pretend for a while. At least until they developed an active interest in me and my abilities."

"Now you are probably wondering how I ended up wearing a Templar uniform. Well, it started after I was transformed. A transformation that shattered my world and my sense of self. But, my parents took the transformation in stride, even the sudden raw surges of destructive force. It was as if as if they were expecting it. They knew exactly what to do. The next thing I knew I was being shipped off to Innsmouth Academy. A place for 'special' kids like me."

"As far as the general public is concerned, Innsmouth Academy is a private coeducational boarding and day high school for privileged rich kids, situated on a tiny island off the coast of Maine. The reality is the Academy is an educational facility affiliated with the Illuminati. So there I was, exactly where the Illuminati wanted me. that was until my parents had second thoughts about it. I don't know what it was that prompted them to decide to pull me from the school. All I know is I received a message from my father that they were coming to get me. They never made it. Their small plane went down, and they both died. Now I can't prove they were murdered, but there are some things a person just knows. But, the things I learned investigating their deaths made me determined to stay as far away from the Illuminati as possible."

"The Illuminati is far too powerful and their reach is too great for a young girl to defy alone, even one imbued with anima. I needed allies, who were just as powerful. The Templars were more than willing to take me in and shelter me. The Templars took me in and trained me as a soldier. Now I fight alongside them to defend justice, divine law, and all that is righteous against the forces of darkness. My religious upbringing, a unique blend of catholicism and druidic beliefs made me a perfect fit as a Templar. It was like finding a new family after the loss of my parents."

"But, this isn't where my story ends. This is just the beginning. I have been placed on the path to some unknown destiny. I don't know where this path leads but I am determined to follow it courageously while holding to my ideals and remaining true to myself."

Allison Thorn is a formidable "Bee" operative within the Templar faction. Born and raised in the United States, Allison grew up in a small town where her parents were both scientists. Her father was a chemist, and her mother was a biologist, This sparked her interest in understanding the world around her from a young age.

As a child, Allison was always curious and adventurous. She loved exploring the woods around her home, collecting herbs, and experimenting with small alchemical concoctions. Her parents encouraged her curiosity, providing her with books and tools to further her studies.

At Innsmouth Academy, Allison excelled both academically and athletically. Her interest in shooting sports began when she joined the school's marksmanship club, where she discovered her natural talent for precision and accuracy. Her exceptional academic and athletic achievements caught the attention of the Templars, who recruited her upon graduation.

Allison is deeply religious, believing in the concepts of good and evil and the importance of protecting the innocent. This strong moral compass made her an ideal recruit for the Templars, who manipulated her beliefs to further their own agenda. Under the rigorous training program of the Templars, Allison became on of their most lethal operatives. She is proficient in small arms, mastering the use of pistols and rifles. Her combat prowess was further enhanced by her adeptness in chaos magic, making her a versatile and deadly asset to the Templar cause.

Allison's journey from a promising student to a skilled operative is a testament to her dedication and resilience. However, her unwavering faith and the Templars' manipulation of her beliefs create a complex inner conflict that drives her actions and decisions.
