Her body is lithe with a reasonable amount of muscle from having run track and field for most her life. Fierce and determined green eyes are juxtaposed upon a face that could almost be described as gentle. [/i] [b]Username: [/b] Hexaflexagon [b]Name: [/b] Kelly MacLise [b]Age: [/b] 25 [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Rig Type:[/b] Biped [b]Secondary Arm:[/b] 3 Tipped Mining Drill: Used primarily to collect mineral samples to bring back for study. While Kelly has voiced complaints about the terrible consistency of the drill and the samples she gathers making suggesting for the installment of a capacitor to help monitor the rotational speed. Never the less the drill gets the job done and in a scratch can be used in self defense. Equipment: [/center] [list] [*]Environmental Suit [*]Cabal Wrist Computer [*] Telescoping Steel Shafted Geological Hammer: Used for precise mineral sampling [*] Terran Buster: A collapsible 4" long pole with a Heavy duty carbon steel construction with a hardened chisel point. An internal sliding weight built into the shaft gives a secondary impact which helps prevent jarring in the hands, wrists, shoulders, neck and back, it also helps prevent bounce back recoil when in use. Useful in breaking away hard rock and ice. [*] Grappling Anchor: A gift from her parents this up and coming favorite with most scientist and explores these days. A steel tipped wrist mounted launcher that can be used to pierce walls and solid ice to pull one self up. While they are still developing it to hold higher loads for somebody of Kelly's size it is much easier to use. Though the anchor currently still has its kinks with a tendency for the launching mechanism to jam and do to the high wind speeds on Corona you sometimes get blown around a lot mid ascent. [/list] [center]Biography: The daughter of a Physics and a Math professor at Harvard University academia has always been in Kelly's blood. Born and raised in Cambridge proper Kelly had what most would consider a normal childhood. She excelled in her studies and was generally an A student in most of her classes though more "interpretative" subjects like Art and English she had to work at much more. Her parents always encouraged her academically and pushed her to be the best pushing her to be enrolled in all the accelerated classes she could when she was older. Her father a large man with a big barreled chest, bright red hair and large beard and the practical strength that only age could bring always had a saying, "A 98 isn't a 98 it is a minus two.". Armchair psychologists might argue that this academics focused path might of stunted her emotional growth a little bit contributing to her socially awkward and easily flustered personality. Though she did find a small smattering of friends mostly through her School's Track and Field team. Track and Field came to her almost out of the blue really. Her gym teacher also begin the coach of the team noted that while Kelly was mediocre at best at other sports what she did have going for her was that she was a good runner. In retrospect it did make sense as Running had always been a sort of Mediation for her. Whenever she got a bad grade on a test, somebody bothered her, or any other emotional issue she was dealing with she would run. She would run until all she could feel was the pain in her legs and the heavy laboring force of her lungs gasping for air. So naturally over time this constant running slowly improved her overall running ability. A sprinter through most of her school career it was very much these friends on the team that manged to anchor her and keep her from floating away under the tight demands placed upon by her parents. She went to college at Berkeley to study her favorite of the sciences geology. True to her nature she did not lose herself to smokes, alcohol, or any of the other vices available to a college student. She stuck her nose to the grind and studied hard and continued to run Track and Field for the University. Once again she made a small smattering of friends and acquaintances her at university being able to find other like minded individuals like herself. During her second year she sort of hit an academic wall and for the first half of the year she felt the strong urge to stop caring about her it all. But mainly through the sage like wisdom of her Stoner roommate Sam and a few mental breakdowns she was able to pull herself over that wall. Due to the accelerated classes she took through High School and through a whole lot of studying she graduated a year early at the age of twenty, summa cum laude. Not letting up for a minute she applied straight into Grad School and earned her M.S in Geology with a specialization in Exo-planet geology within two years. From the next three years she work primarily in a lab atmosphere, studying space rocks and the like. The only problem is that looking at space rocks forever ends up becoming a rather boring experience. The day to day grind was not something that Kelly appreciated all too well and soon her heart wandered for greener pastures. It was around this time that she learned of a mining expedition begin sent to Corona one of those new frozen colony worlds. The expedition was looking for just the type of person that Kelly was. A scientist to go with the miners to study mineral deposits and soil samples to gauge a reference for a possible terraforming operation in the future. Needless to say Kelly signed up right away despite severe protests from her parents. They were concerned about how there little girl was going to fair and fretted about every little detail even buying her brand new geology equipment including an all too expensive Grappling Anchor for her. Though as the day for her departure grew near she began to have doubts. Were her parents right? Who was she to go venture into the great unknown when she barely even hold a conversation? When she didn't even know how to properly defend herself? Well sadly for her it was a little too late for that now. [i]Stay Smart-Stay Close [/i] [/center]
