Profession: Medic
Nationality: Martian Unity
Strengths:- Caring - Despite her sometimes terrible bedside manner, Amara actually does care a great deal about her patients. She will rush headlong into danger for anyone who needs help.
- Athletic - Amara is surprisingly fast and nimble. She is a trained gymnast and is more than capable of putting these skills to use to get to places others would not normally be able to reach. It's not uncommon to see her traversing some high catwalk above everyone else.
- Hand-to-hand combat - During her mandatory military service, Amara was never particularly fond of firearms. While she is perfectly capable of using a gun, she preferred to train in hand-to-hand combat and is quite skilled at taking down an opponent.
Weaknesses:- Reckless - Amara will often rush into danger to help others out without thinking about the consequences to her own personal safety.
- Distant - Amara can seem very distant and even cold to those who don't know her. She isn't very talkative and often prefers to keep to herself rather than work with others. She isn't much of a team player.
Personal Effects: Other than clothes, the only things Amara really brought aboard the ship with her were a stuffed monkey and a collection of knives. Many people, understandably, find the latter a weird thing for a medic to keep.
Bio: Life on Mars was hard. The entire planet was a desert. And not even a warm desert. It was cold and dusty. Boy was it dusty. But Amara Locke was never anything but proud of her home planet. The people had a drive and a resolve to fight. It was the people that made Mars great in Amara's eyes. There were two people who she admired more than all the others though.
Being the only daughter of a career military man and a workaholic doctor may have been difficult, sure. She didn't get to see either them as often as she would have liked to or even was normal for a child but she didn't resent them for not being around much. She knew what they did was important. She was proud of them. She wanted to be just like both of them. They were her heroes. Her father became even more of a hero to her when he helped push back the attacking Devastator fleet. Amara absolutely idolised her father.
Unfortunately, a few years after the Devastator attack, Amara's mother passed away, effectively leaving Amara alone. Her father chose to take a step back from his duties and take a less active role in the military to care for her. From that point on, wherever he went, she went with him.
As Amara grew and matured into a young woman, while all of her friends tried to decide what they wanted to do with their lives after school, Amara already new. She had known or a long time. She wanted to be just like her parents and she believed she had found a perfect middle ground to honor both of them. She began studying medicine from an early age and it was always something she enjoyed. So when she left school and entered he mandatory military service, she put her knowledge to good use, training as a field medic. It was a job she fit into well and it was here that she earned the nickname "Mercy".
By the time Amara finished her two years military service, her father had already been assigned to the Genesis Project. While she could have joined him but decided to take some time to herself first. During this time, she took up gymnastics and found that she was surprisingly good at it. She had spent so long trying to be like her parents that it was nice to just be herself. But there was only so much time and Amara knew what was coming. Eventually she joined her father aboard the Vitae and prepared for a new life.
Amara was always proud of her planet and her people. But it was time to say goodbye. It was time to leave Mars behind.
