What is your character’s personality?:
Kathryn is a witty & mischievous woman. These traits are contrasted with a bashful distrust of strangers with a mix of Xenophobia for the likes of foreigners from the Inner Colonies and the usual provincial suspicion for the UEG & UNSC that should be expected from a frontier colonist, when challenged either physically or socially, Kat often meets the situation in a fiery, headstrong approach as if no one can take her on, that's not the truth but it speaks for high confidence on Kathryn's part when caught in a confrontation. Kat's an adventurous soul and enjoys exploring, a human curiosity with a sense of adventure even if it's subdued by fear for the unknown at times. Kat's attitude towards aliens is mixed with xenophobia and racism, she hates them for what they've done not necessarily to her colonies, but all the unfortunate ones beyond her atmosphere. Kat's provincial belligerence towards the UNSC and UEG gives the appearance the woman has a chip on her shoulder. Kat has been steadily forged into a warrior, who is obedient, and disciplined with a confrontational posture and feisty attitude.

What is your character's history? (Includes Rp):

  • Kathryn is a colony-born and raised young woman hailing from New Horizon, a peaceful agrarian and manufacturing backwater with beautiful sandy beaches that the young woman is quite fond of, both parents to Kathryn were former UNSC Service personnel turned Corporate Security Contractors who lived on the planet as a result of their employment and found their stay to be rather permanent given the deteriorating situation of the War, in 2552, Kat was contemplating a career with the UNSC Marine Corps or Army. That dream is cut short by the Planet's colonial governor declaring independence in the decade-long absence of any significant UNSC Military Force on the planet beyond a token Army garrison to the widespread approval from the populace, they had always done just fine without some outsider dictating what they could and couldn't do, in light of this development. Kathryn instead opts to join Ascalon Security, the same Security Contractor company her parents presently hold employment with, Ascalon Security receiving a contract from the Governor to perform the Colony's Security & Police duties and now headquartered in the Colony's capital city.
  • With a little Nepotism and twisting of arms, Kathryn's parents land her a plush job as a team leader, a Sergeant. The young woman receiving roughly two months of full-time security training from the company before entering her junior leadership course over the course of fourteen days, following completion of her training. Kathryn is taked with supervising security in and around the Orbital Elevator and the material goods heading offworld for sale to Other Colonies, UEG or Otherwise. Ascalon Security holds contracts elsewhere and Kat might one day be sent elsewhere by the Company, security is in high demand within this post-war environment.
  • In February 2553, tragedy falls upon the frontier colony of New Horizon, a dangerous Covenant splinter group called the "Keepers of the One Freedom." who were searching an abandoned strip mine for Covenant Artifacts, unknown to Kathryn, Ascalon Security and the Planetary Government. The Office of Naval Intelligence was watching the situation unfold, the Keepers bringing a Corvette down into the Atmosphere of the planet in a co-ordinated attack that was presumed to be initiated by Sangheili Strike teams from the perspective of the Colonists, considering the speed with which their missile Batteries were taken offline. The truth was the Keepers of the One Freedom were largely composed of the physically stronger and more unpredictable Jiralhanae. Kathryn's, Security Team designated callsign "Alpha" are ordered by Governor Cosgrove to join a UNSC SOCOM team, one sent by ONI in neutralizing the Corvette. During the two team's trip over to a Mining Plant Facility and during the brief, Colonial-UEG tension is evident between the two teams. But Mako and Linder manage to come to a Human understanding before boarding the Falcons to the Mining Plant Facility where Kat enters to retrieve a HAVOK excavation class weapon, in the hopes they can achieve a remote or timed detonation of the device inside the Covenant Corvette, it caused the young woman extreme anxiety, she'd never been shot at much less shot at an alien before this day. The team of UNSC Soldiers and Security Personnel board the Corvette via the Hanger and immediately engage in a brief firefight where both the team's Falcons are disabled, atleast three casualties were sustained before clearing the place. The UNSC team appeared to have brought their own nuke, which causes Linder to raise some questions at gunpoint before easing off, satisfied with their explanation. Here the Two teams split, the UNSC leaving via parachute while Alpha and the two pilots commandeer a Phantom, not before Kat offers her well wishes to "Golden Boy" and Blackjack, despite their earlier antagonism. It left Kat open to the possibility the UEG wasn't wholly filled with Thugs.
  • Following the Battle of New Horizon, in honor of the sheer volume of Security Officers that fell and strong sense of Colonial Solidarity. The Colony of New Horizon takes on the new identity of "Ascalon" to shed the last vestiges of rule beneath the UEG, The country of Ascalon is born and government overhauled significantly to feature a parliamentary system, Ascalon Security doesn't change name although it does shift from an Incorporated Private Security Firm to the official paramilitary and Gendarmery force of the Ascalonian Nation. Becoming "Ascalon Security Enforcement Guard" where Kathryn fits in this brave in state? Given her and Alpha team's contributions in bringing down the Corvette, they are the first candidates in a new Special Emergency Response Team program called "SPECTRE". An acronym for "Special Tactics & Reconnaissance" respond especially to extremely dangerous situations and environments like those faced during the attack. The program itself devised by former UNSC Special Forces personnel and SWAT Officers employed by Ascalon Security.
  • Kathryn passes her SPECTRE selection and then training course along with the rest of Alpha, building up a considerable amount of physical strength and stamina as the result of intense physical conditioning. The young woman is then enrolled in a leadership course to prepare her for a Commissioned Officer position within the Guard, Kat is rather smug and gleeful initially that she's making such incredible progress through her career with the Guard, even if it was assisted somewhat by Mother & Father operating in the background, Kat was never one for University, and though she completed all of High School. Further education never interested her so it is their intention to push daughter towards Civil and Military service given their own backgrounds. A Formal Treaty is ratified between the Ascalon and UEG Governments, Ascalon's Sovereignty would be respected, provided Ascalon didn't manufacture and proliferate Nuclear Weapons, Harbor interstellar gangsters or terrorists, did not engage in genocide or ethnic cleansing and finally not use the Guard to perform acts of aggression against other Independent or UEG Colonies. In late 2553, the Ascalonian Guard begin receiving exoatmospheric vessels to maintain their own security, and combat terrorism and piracy.
  • At the encouragement of the former ODST Mikel Vlastnik, and under his supervision, Kathryn has the Kanji for 'Heaven' Tattooed onto her left arm just beneath the shoulder and Blood type including Rh value on the right arm in the corresponding location to the Kanji on left arm.


What is your character's affiliation?: Ascalonian Guard (Independent Frontier Colony)

What would you consider to be your character’s shortcomings?:
  • Headstrong. - Kathryn, perhaps to her own detriment is extremely headstrong, with a chip on her shoulder. She'll meet challenge with proven recklessness at times, including during the Covenant Remnant Assault on New Horizon where Kat raised no objections to boarding a Covenant Corvette in low atmosphere via its Hanger bay filled with Alien Infantry which were promptly slaughtered in thanks in no small part to the presence of UNSC SOCOM personnel.
  • Cynical - Kathryn is quite cynical when viewing the motivation of outsiders and strangers, especially if their origin happens to be the UEG Breadbasket of the Inner Colonies or Earth itself. She's much more friendly with Outer and Frontier Colonies, even though often under UEG rule technically, they share her same distaste for UEG influence. Kat's cynicism almost led to a bloodbath during the Battle of New Horizon where she initially threatened to arrest the UNSC team when producing an undisclosed HAVOK nuke.
  • Damnit In English! - Kat's not stupid but there are consequences of having grown up with a largely rural, country lifestyle. Kat's a bit of a culture Barbarian, and lacks the patience for complex explanations or lengthy textbooks. To give you an idea of how backwards Kat likes to be sometimes, her beloved and hellish quick sports Motorcycle is an antiquated Petrol-powered vehicle. Kat has a low tolerance for the Sciences and prefers to work with her hands in a workshop, only caring to read that which interests her which is often related to metallurgy or technical drawings of engines, dimensions and pressure.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - Kat suffers from a chronic respiratory disease that appears to be triggered by the presence of foreign bacteria in Atmospheres found on other worlds for example, Kat's immune system appears to have intense difficulty shielding her respiratory system and results in laboured breathing, violent coughing when her airways become inflamed and the progressive narrowing of airways that service the lungs it might be treated in the future. As a Spectre, Kat overcomes this limitation by wearing a HAZMAT mask that features a rebreather and recycler to offer the woman clean air free from foreign contaminants.


What would you consider to be your character’s strengths?:

  • Qualified Mechanic - Kathryn's a proud colonial girl, grew up in a remote coastal rural community and so motorized transport was a must, Kat developed a fetish-like obsession for antiquated vehicles, such as Diesel and Petrol-powered automobiles and motorcycles, of which she's spent a considerable amount of time procuring and restoring the mechanical components for use, if not necessarily in a chassis. She's also familiar with Hydrogen engines and can fix just about any Machine with enough time to perform diagnostic testing. Kat services her own automobiles and motorcycles and only takes them to a qualified Engineer when confronted with legal compliance or an issue she cannot rectify herself.
  • Marksmanship - Kathryn has been shooting since she was quite young, typically birds though sometimes some larger game. Kathryn privately own a Bolt-Action Rifle from the 20th Century she'd practice with from the age of ten onwards, not the typical lass, because according to the feisty Kat, most girls are "Stupid". This precision at arms continues today and she remains an above average shooter amongst the Spectres, which is to say she's pretty damn commendable.
  • Stand-up Comedy - Katharyn is mischievous and very charismatic she combines these two traits to try and get people to laugh by telling jokes and satirizing life and the "Human Condition." by all accounts, she's funny, sometimes people laugh at her jokes, with Kat or at Kat, it doesn't matter to the extroverted Linder. It's one of the otherwise headstrong, confrontational and feisty woman's softspots. To connect with her across laughter and comedy.


How many "NPCs" would your character lead and how?: Thirty-Six SPECTRE Troopers.
Kathryn is the SPECTRE-contingent commander aboard The UAN Bendis, she's responsible for their wellbeing, upkeep, continued adherence to the training plan and leadership of the Contingent and it's teams. She's assisted with this by Staff Sergeant Kevin Wilson, a former non-commissioned officer Soldier of the UNSC Army. Kat struggles with whispers of Nepotism at times but maintains a certain respect through her raw leadership qualities and mischevious charisma.

I don't see anything wrong with her. I actually like the problems that come with her condition and where she lives. Not to mention another not main faction military is always a bit refreshing. I mean she's a still growing character.

Lord Dom gives his approval.
