By all means, Scarlet is just what her nickname describes: a Juggernaut.
At a beastly 6'1", Scarlet towers over most men and women. Her body is lean and would be considered frail if not for the tough muscle packed tightly against dense bones. That's not the only thing that strikes fear and intimidation into the bravest of souls. Her skin is far from normal human complexion, echoing the bright and vibrant red of arterial blood. This unnatural hue extends across her entire body. Coupled with the extremely high body temperature, one might consider her kin to flames although this is far from the case. She is simply undead, simple being relative: Heart still pumps; Lungs still inhale; Synapses in the brain still fire off electric jolts to power motor functions; Stomach still digests. Perhaps undead is the incorrect terminology. Scarlet is alive ... but altered and mutated in such a way that she resembles no living thing on Earth. A monster with a horrid desire to consume living flesh, despite the pain it may cause. And it doesn't just end with the skin tone and personality disorder. Scarlet's digits are not fingers, but claws from the knuckle to the tip - hard like bone with a putrid yellow coloration. Her teeth are jagged and sharp. And the tongue ... Lance-like in appearance, it can extend several feet and act as its own appendage. One might believe it has a mind of its own.
Accurate for her deathly appearance, Scarlet's eyes are sunken into the skull. They would have been a brilliant green had it not been for the post-mortem death glaze concealing it's glory from sight. Scarlet's nose is petite, very nearly nonexistant. The bridge barely extends over the surface of her face and the nostrils are puny at best. Clearly she does not rely heavily on the sense of smell. You might think she didn't need to hear anything either due to the total lack of cartilage and flesh where ears should have been, leaving nothing but holes on either side of her cranium. Do not be fooled by this illusion. The mechanics behind her sense of sound are far superior to normal humans. Even if she were completely blind, Scarlet would be able to navigate her way towards prey with relative ease. She has done it before. The V-ACT 32's head is covered with a bloom of bleached blond hair reaching her shoulders. Three shock-yellow bangs jut from her forehead: thick and strange. An Umbrella, Inc. logo is tattooed to the back of her neck.
Her clothing typically consists of a tank-top, camouflage jeans, and ankle-high steel-toed boots. Tan Ace bandages are wrapped about her wrists. Adding vintage to her appearance is her long black leather trench coat trimmed with grey. It has been with her for years, including at the time of her death ... and it shows through several bullet holes and rips singed into the fabric. A S.T.A.R.S. patch is located on the right shoulder of the jacket. A recent addition to her getup is the flesh-colored face-wrap that hangs loosely about her neck. It was an adornment that proved useful during the harsh sandstorms included in her last mission's location.

Personality:-
Wild; Rambunctious; Playful; Spontaneous; Childlike. Also brutally to-the-point. She does have a serious, calm, and wise side that is often only seen by her closest friends, top allies, or spotted by team members before or during a huge mission where dire decisions must be made. At certain moments one can find confusing looks crossing her face, as though she's trying to remember a past virtually forgotten. Though greatly respected because of her power, will, experience and unique battle strategies, all but those who know her the best think she's a few cards short of a playing deck.
----
Abilities/Traits:-
The viruses have enhanced many of her physical traits. Sense of smell and sense of sound have become far more acute. She is gifted with the ability to jump long distances and run much faster. Her fingers are tipped with yellowish claws that enable her to scale walls. The tongue is ... bizarre. It can elongate to several times her height and act as a noose to choke people with, and it is also lance-like in the fact that it can impale others - be it through the heart or the skull. The viruses have also nullified certain nerve endings, completely numbing pain so that she could take round after round and keep on walking. Extremely high metabolism - her core body temperature is 110 °F because of high cellular and mitochondrial activity, both of which resulted in an abnormally high heart rate. This means that her wounds heal much faster than normal. She can 'reattach' lost limbs. Excellent markswoman, considered the best assailant for S.T.A.R.S.
Scarlet wields two .45 caliber Colt Pythons.
----
Disadvantages:-
Her sight is limited due to the postmortem glaze on her eyes. Though small wounds can heal extremely quickly, larger wounds - huge gashes and slices - take some time to heal properly. She can be childish and rash, sometimes requiring somebody to 'balance her out' to keep from going totally insane. The greatest disadvantage is the deadliest. The tiniest scent of blood in the air sets off the viruses' tendencies and drives her wild. During this blood lust, she loses moral reasoning, control, and exhibits an extreme aggressiveness and animalistic behavior. Although useful in a situation where she is surrounded by enemies, as the hunger for flesh drives her to annihilate and often devour those around her, allies often befall her wrath. The primal urges stimulated by the virus shut off her ability to discern friend from foe. As with all virus carriers, a head shot is fatal.
And guns ... they're only useful when there is ammunition available.

Known History:-
At the middle of the 20th century, the Umbrella Corporation had become the largest commercial entity nationally. Nine out of every ten homes contained its products; its political and financial influence is felt everywhere. In public, it is the world's leading supplier of computer technology, medical products, and health care. Unknown even to its own employees, its massive profits are generated by military technology, genetic experimentation, and viral weaponry. Umbrella was founded in the late 70's by a group of scientists, and smaller branches of Umbrella were created in areas varying from Antarctica to a small urban city known as Raccoon City. The corporation was studying the Ebola virus because of its incredible fatality rate, in hopes of producing a weapon for the army that would be completely devastating. And they wouldn't hesitate to use humans or animals as their guinea pigs.
Research eventually led to the creation of numerous viral bacteria. Among the creations of Umbrella - the T-Virus, G-Virus, and much later in the future, the T-Veronica Virus and the TG Virus. The most notorious, however, is the T-Virus because of its ability to turn humans into flesh-eating zombies if they are not compatible with the virus enough to become a Tyrant. In the years to go by after Umbrella's creation, things would happen. People working for the company would be stabbed in the back or assassinated in order to get whatever research they have been doing, while others would grow steadily more powerful. Or insane, driven mad by the desire to finish their studies and creation of possible new viruses.
In 1996, the first S.T.A.R.S. team is founded in the United States' Raccoon City. Other urban and suburban areas mimic Raccoon's movements and establish S.T.A.R.S. forces of their own.
In 1998, strange murder began to occur on the outskirts of Raccoon City. Hikers and people would disappear, only to be found days later, dead and partially eaten. By the time the fifth victim was found, people began to panic, thinking that some cannibalistic lunatic was roaming the forests of Raccoon. Or that rabid animals were preying on the innocent. In any case, when the ninth victim was discovered, panic became absolute and total fear. The police force of Raccoon City sent the Raccoon S.T.A.R.S. team into the surrounding forest - Arklay Forest - to investigate. At the center of where the attacks seemed to be focused was a huge mansion dubbed the Spencer Estate. The mansion was never broken into or even heard from - it was widely believed that it was abandoned.
On the contrary, Umbrella had been using it and its secret corridors and basements as a headquarters for research and experiments. But whatever the scientists had been working on there broke loose. The T-Virus escaped and infected everybody, and the mansion was teeming with zombies and other undead monsters transformed by the virus.
The S.T.A.R.S. team didn't stand a chance.
The mansion was destroyed in the process - having been put on a self-destruct sequence. Out of the original 12 S.T.A.R.S. members, only 5 survived to tell the tale. The S.T.A.R.S. team captain, Albert Wesker, had been in cohorts with the Umbrella corporation but was killed by his own creation of monstrous proportion. He was assumed dead, if not from the monster that sliced into him by the mansion's explosion. The remaining members of S.T.A.R.S. attempted ot tell the world of what happened, to make the Raccoon civilians and police force understand what Umbrella was really doing. But nobody would listen. The S.T.A.R.S. team was suspended. It would later be learned that the Raccoon Police Department's (RPD's) police chief and the mayor of Raccoon itself were on Umbrella's payroll to keep quiet.
Months passed. By early autumn, it happened all over again. More murders were being committed, but this time ... people wouldn't turn up dead. They would remain missing. The mayor and the police chief shrugged of the attacks, but they kept coming and coming. Until finally what happened to the victims who vanished without a trace was revealed.
They became zombies. Zombies lurking outside of the city.
Zombies who, on September 25, 1998, mobbed the city and attacked the living, infecting them so that they got up and killed in turn. Raccoon City was dubbed a disaster area and was quarantined by the army, though Umbrella was sure to keep the true origins and happenings of Raccoon away from the public. Anybody who leaked information to the world outside was killed, and the information told would be classified as fake so that nobody believed it. For the next week, it was a matter of survival. People formed groups or traveled on their own, trying to keep alive in a city quickly becoming nightmare, and trying to escape it. One S.T.A.R.S. member was killed during the action - Brad Vickers.
Umbrella knew that what was going on in Raccoon wouldn't be kept a secret from the public for very long.
On October 1, 1998, Umbrella convinced the military to eradicate Raccoon City completely. In an action named 'Mission Code XX', the military issued a squadron of jets (called 'Heaven's Gate') to fire missiles. By the breaking of dawn, the entire area of Raccoon City had been incinerated. The estimated death toll was around 100,000. The true reasons for the demolition were never revealed to the public.
The remaining S.T.A.R.S. team members, though, did not give up. They joined up with other S.T.A.R.S.groups in other parts of the globe, Raccoon survivors, rebels, and formed their own anti-Umbrella rebel faction. Their mission? Reveal Umbrella to the world. Expose them. Leave them lying prone. Destroy Umbrella completely. For the next many years, they would perform in anti-Umbrella tasks, each time bringing the company that much closer to falling.
Three months after Raccoon City, it was discovered that Albert Wesker, the former captain of Raccoon's S.T.A.R.S., was very much alive. And inhuman. He had experimented on his own body and became something of a terminator, with incredible speed, power, strength, some immunity to pain, cat-like yellow eyes ...
November, 1999 : Scarlet's first real memory was waking up in an Umbrella laboratory, floating in a glass tube filled with some unknown liquid. This was how her new life started. What her past had been like, she didn't know. All her memories seemed to be erased .. as well as some of her old human abilities - to talk, to think, to understand. It was as if somebody had pressed a reset button, although at the time she didn't know anybody had tampered with her mind. All she knew was that she was there, she was born .. and she was confused.
Slowly but surely, the scientists of the laboratory integrated her into the world of Umbrella, Inc., though she was never allowed into the world outside. Scarlet was released from her test tube during the second week. Not a good idea. She was unused to these people and barely trained, and ended up killing two scientists. So she was stuck back in the tube and trained more, eventually gaining a better lingual skill and learning to understand. Her education became a success, and with this out of the way, Umbrella could begin prepping her for her true purpose - to fight.
For this special type of training, Albert Wesker was called onto the scene. Under his wing, she displayed some incredible marksmanship and gradually soaked up karate, melee and hand-to-hand fighting. She was taught to use her instincts as well as her lessons, shown how to use certain surroundings to her advantage. Hunters and other BOW prototypes were pitted against her, but all would fall. As a final test Albert Wesker himself challenged her, and the result was such that it even surprised him - it was a draw. Neither won, neither lost. It was within the training that her insatiable blood lust was discovered.
She was soon recruited to the clean sweeping squads of Umbrella, sent to various locations around the globe to help clean up 'accidents' and outbreak. Sheena Island was among the areas that fell beneath her claws. The years progressed. Umbrella was dealing with another threat - the S.T.A.R.S. members. Seeing the advantage they had with her on their side, unquestioningly following their every word like a chick listening to its mother, she was sent in to eliminate various S.T.A.R.S. members and their allies.
She is responsible for many killings - among them the murders of Barry Burton, Alyssa Ashcroft, Yoko Suzuki, David Trapp, and Linda, a former Umbrella biochemist. A goof during one of her killing sprees led to her capture and imprisonment by S.T.A.R.S. Umbrella did not know of her captivation and presumed her dead.
S.T.A.R.S. saw her intelligence and how close her mentality was to a human, and decided to let her live rather than neutralize her. Because she was trained to kill, she often showed violent reactions to those who held her captive. So her living space was a gurney strapped to a wall. At least for a little while. It wouldn't last - The people following S.T.A.R.S. taught her other things ... they showed her the brutality of Umbrella, the reason she was created, what they had done in the past and were intending to do in the future. More important, they displayed that they were not 'nuisances' as she was told, but creatures of feeling and hurt.
Umbrella had taught her 'how'. How to kill, how to fight, how to shoot, how to track ...
But S.T.A.R.S. taught her 'why'. And that changed everything.
She sluggishly grew to accept the S.T.A.R.S. And trust them. There was a newfound hatred burning inside of her for the Umbrella Corporation. Though she didn't know this, the origins of that hate started before she had been 'created' ...
She was soon fighting alongside the S.T.A.R.S. members. Her skill, brute strength, and battle strategies brought her into the rank of a Captain that led teams on missions against Umbrella - be it to cause hell, obtain samples, or obtain files and evidence. Umbrella found out about her and put a bounty on her head. Blood lust still lingered. There was a cure for this ailment in the form of a serum, which, formed by mixing the viruses with byproducts of the anti-virus called Daylight, would quell the need to feed. This serum is used sparingly because the number of Daylight samples are few and far between, and the supplies necessary to create it are not always at hand. The effects are also temporary, lasting for only a half-hour to a few hours pending. Therein, most of her missions are done alone to keep from accidentally killing of her comrades. The serum, dubbed V-Suppressor, is only distributed to her when going on missions where she is not alone.
Due to the combined efforts of underground rebel forces, the rogue S.T.A.R.S. team, government squads and bankruptcy, Umbrella fell into its own grave in the early 21st century. A sigh of relief came from all those who spent part of their lives fighting the corporation.
But rumors popped up that other companies were following in its footsteps. She and other S.T.A.R.S. members turned spy and gathered information. What was worst in the midst of all this ... were stories that Umbrella was surviving by a tendon, trying to revive ...
There was a rumor of an Umbrella convoy heading for a location in northwest Nevada, and they had to travel through various forests to get there. Scarlet was assigned, alongside other members, with the mission to stop them at all costs and find out what they were transporting.
Of course ... one thing they didn't count on ... The dirt road the convoy was taking mysteriously vanished halfway through the forests of Nevada, and the trees became taller and older ... Somehow or another, a temporary shifting of worlds plopped a portal to the Crossroads dead center in the woods of Nevada, but for only a short period of time.

Due to the combined efforts of underground rebel forces, the rogue S.T.A.R.S. team, government squads and bankruptcy, Umbrella fell into its own grave in the early 21st century. A sigh of relief came from all those who spent part of their lives fighting the corporation.
But rumors popped up that other companies were following in its footsteps. She and other S.T.A.R.S. members turned spy and gathered information. What was worst in the midst of all this ... were stories that Umbrella was surviving by a tendon, trying to revive ...
There was a rumor of an Umbrella convoy heading for a location in northwest Nevada, and they had to travel through various forests to get there. Scarlet was assigned, alongside other members, with the mission to stop them at all costs and find out what they were transporting.
Of course ... one thing they didn't count on ... The dirt road the convoy was taking mysteriously vanished halfway through the forests of Nevada, and the trees became taller and older ... Somehow or another, a temporary shifting of worlds plopped a portal to the Crossroads dead center in the woods of Nevada, but for only a short period of time.
