This is an attempt to capture for reference a character paper snapshot of the character Lauren Elizabeth Meyers Hastings, a major character in the Multiverser novels who debuts in Verse Three, Chapter One and returns in Old Verses New.  This character sheet includes everything that is confirmed about her, plus a few extrapolations, in that first book, and thus represents her as she is in the penultimate chapter.

The picture was dug up on the Internet as an approximate image of her; it's not accurate, but it will suffice.

The referee will undoubtedly notice that many "necessary" details are absent here, among them stats on most of the weapons and situation modifiers on most of the spells.  These are not particularly needed for the fundamental purpose of writing the book, and so have not been included; they might be added at some future date if they become more useful.  Meanwhile, you know how to work out such things if you've got the Referee's Rules, and if you don't you're probably adapting it to your own use anyway.

Personal History

Born Lauren Elizabeth Meyers at Kennedy Stratford, lived in Somerdale, New Jersey, in 1965 H018.  Attended Sterling HS in Stratford, and a year at Phila. College of the Bible.  Married HS sweetheart Phil Hastings H002 in June 1984, had three children, son Trevor 1986, daughter Tiffany 1987, son Tyler 1989.  Moved to Franklin Twp., but never had the horse she wanted.  Husband taught HS, she tutored.  She thinks of home and family quite a bit.  Died in 2000 by an exploding microwave oven H011.  (She later thinks of that as "slightly less than a decade" before 2005.)  She mentions a nephew approaching 20 years old, probably about 17.

In NagaWorld, there's a suggestion that she stayed long and did much. She was trying to build a psionically-boosted kau sin ke when it exploded, versing her out H001; she has one of plastic steel (called plastic) and one of inert psi glass (just called glass).  In the text those materials are generally referred to as plastic and glass.  She built a wagon from the plastic steel, in which she keeps her gear H001.  She has some experiments in it, as yet undescribed H001.  She learned a number of psi tricks some from other versers, and information about the verse.  She also practiced acrobatic and tightrope skills.  She adapted to the forty hour days, sleeping twelve and staying up for twenty-eight.

She believes God is sending her into these worlds for a purpose.

She arrived in Philadelphia in the vampire scenario on September 4, 2005, and identified herself as a “psionicist” H001.  She shifted her schedule to sleep thirteen hours and stay awake thirty-five.  She took to drinking a sweet sparkling white wine such as a Spumanti, one glass, to be cordial H004.  She began learning martial arts from someone using the name Raiden.  She killed three vampires, Jackson, from old England, Gavin, fairly young, and Horta, ancient beyond knowledge.  She also met a young sorceress named Bethany, who claims to have been her student in England in 1461, from a place called Wandborough.  The quote from Bethany is "Just like the old days."  She must have told Bethany not to mention to anyone that she would be in Philadelphia, because she doesn't want anyone to know who she is before she does.  She also met her divergent self, a successful radio talk show personality.  She enjoys eggs for breakfast, a corn muffin with her coffee H018.  She died fighting Horta.

In the parakeet world, she is concerned about having enough soap and shampoo.
