Lora Lawson's page

In a hierarchical class based society, there are limited ways for a miner's daughter to get ahead, despite being one of most brilliant person in the colony. Lora's mother managed it by being quiet lovely, marrying the mine boss. Not nobility, but not common scum either.

Too bad the mine boss was a ugly troll of a man. Still she was smart enough to get attention from others and not get caught... until Lora was born. The third child looked nothing like the beat with the ugly stick that her older sisters were. Fine enough, her mom was pretty, but the hair and eyes...

The indiscretion was never spoken of, but the mine boss knew. He was a great father... to the other children. Lora was ignored completely. Her mother blamed her, treated her like crap, mentally and verbally abusing her whenever possible.

Lora caught her mother continuing her indiscretion when she was in high school. Caught pictures too and gleefully outed her mom to her “dad” The mine boss calmly took the pictures and had the miner “raping” her mother brought up and charges then killed.

Her mom spitefully told the teenager, “That was your real father”

The mine shook that day, an unexplained tremor that fortunately claimed no (more) lives.

The young woman left that day. Hating her family only a sliver more than herself. She drowned in sorrow and depression, ending up in a back league xcrawl out of desperation more than anything. Her powers had been coming out more and more until they had been noticed by a recruiter. In the first bout, the beast of a man laughing at her broke something inside, unleashing a rage her never knew she had. Suddenly rocks answered her unhinged scream smashing the thug into the dirt. The roar of the crowd woke her up, burst the bubble of self loathing, and a xcrawler was born.

Taking the name “The Miner's Daughter” she flaunts her origins, both in penance to the father she killed and to make her mother squirm.

Inside she is a cart tittering on the edge of a vast abyss of self hatred and despair. Outside she is a party girl full of life, desperately trying to forget what she did. Drink, drugs, meaningless sex were all her go to vices for oblivion. But Xcrawl eclipses all that. Here the act of being alive isn't an act. She loves them, NEEDS them, and will crush any creature for the roar of applause that comes with it.
