Natalya Kortensky

Zalera Tundra Base

---

The air was cold. Bracing and fortifying. It cut straight through the chinks in her armour and penetrated her very core, even with the in-built warmers keeping her pleasantly toasty. Then again, she was no stranger to the cold.

Natalya stepped off the Shyp transport that had brought her to Zalera and pulled her thick coat around herself. As bulky and as warm as her armour was, it only went so far to protect her from the chill. The ride had been uneventful, as far as she was concerned. Horrible food and even worse jostling notwithstanding, the trip was fine. According to the mission brief, they were to infiltrate Archadia, which was where she'd been brought up near. Nibelheim, Faelan's crown jewel of medical engineering, was her home, even though she was of Galbadian birth. Her name, her whole life, had been in Archadian culture. It was her upbringing. And now...now she was to treat her home as an enemy. Funny, how fate dealt its cards.

The briefing for this leg was simple enough: meet up with the other soldiers in camp. That was it. Their transports were the aforementioned Shyps, and frankly she didn't admire them. Unstabilised though reliable, the huge boats were little more than that: boats. Floating army transports, with the horrible food to match. Even now, as she gathered her duffel bag and cases into her hands, she bore witness to the results of such a trip. A fellow SOLDIER, one she didn't recognise, was on hands and knees in the snow, puking his guts out. With a brief chuckle at his expense, she strode forward. Her hands dove into her duffel bag as another SOLDIER, presumably one of her many teammates, helped the stricken man up to his feet. A third young lady made her way towards them but stopped just a few feet away. She walked around her as she approached.

The heat that emanated from him, and the snow around him turning to slush and then melting entirely, only confirmed her suspicions. Her hands left her bag with a strip of tablets that she contemplated as she approached.

Her bootfalls would be loud and noisy in the snow as she approached James and Nic, and she held the pills out to the former as she gave them a brisk smile. Just a moment ago, she'd heard James introducing himself, and noted his name.

"Take this, detenysh. For the sea sickness. I'd hate to see you make another mess, comrade Camron."

She gave the two men a brief but sharp salute as a greeting.

"Doctor Natalya Kortensky. I assume you are SOLDIER comrades also on mission today?"

On the Shyp ride, she'd busied herself with reading personnel dockets of the other SOLDIERs on mission with her. And although she didn't know the lady or the man by face, she remembered brief details about James Camron after she'd skimmed his file.

Back line battlefield cover. Fights with a pistol and a compound bow. His aeon matches mine in temperance, the only difference being its propensity for violence. A new soldier, with little time to adjust to the bond with his aeon. Someone to keep an eye on.

Hopefully she'd get to know the others once they'd all convened in camp. For now, she was content to fill in faces where she knew only names.

I'll switch Natalya to Infiltration then. Not sure how much use a heavy weapon, riot shield toting doctor will do as a sneaky sneaky.

Natalya Kortensky

Though diminutive for her build, Natalya is a strong, muscle-bound woman. Her bulk more than makes up for what she doesn't have in inches. She has bright blue eyes, with a head of short, closely cropped blonde hair. With strong, worn hands, and a physique to rival her male peers, she stands out amongst the other finer ladies of Archadia.

Her choice of clothes is representative of her upbringing as a military girl; fatigues in either urban gray digital camo or snow-flecked camo, along with her choice of combat boots and gloves. On her head sits a beret with the crest of the Galbadian Armed Forces, and the beret is usually either a dark red or a deep navy blue. If in her civilian dress, she prefers to wear a digital camo tank top with the insignia of the Galbadian Medical Corps on the left breast, along with cargo pants, boots, and her choice of a military coat or civilian bomber jacket. She's also never seen without a military cap, either in jungle or urban camo.

Natalya is loyal, honest and headstrong. Without a head for leadership, she instead leads by example. To her patients, she is like their mother; caring, kind, yet firm and disciplined. To her friends, she is like a sister; loud, loyal and understanding. To a stranger, she seems like an enigma; noisy and humorous, yet harsh in her duties and discipline.

Natalya is also rather expressive for such a stern soldier, and is never seen with her stern expression when off duty. Instead she boasts a loud, raucous laugh and a bright, welcoming grin. Rough back pats, shoulder punches and vigorously shaking her friends when excited is part and parcel of her character.

Born in Dalmasca and raised in Nibelheim, Natalya was a military child through and through. She was brought up in an army family and joined the Galbadian Armed Forces once she was of age. She was placed in the Galbadian Medical Corps and subsequently put through both rigorous military training in combat medicine, and a scholarly degree in surgical medicine and pharmacology while out of the army. Once she had both, she was given the post of lead doctor in a small, military-run clinic in Nibelheim. She saw to many of the sick and ill there, often running the clinic late into the night for those that sought aid when their loved ones fell ill.

She took care of her patients with all the caring a mother would in taking care of her children; with love, kindness and patience. And this kindness is what brought her to the attention of the SOLDIER project. Even with a combat medic, the project still needed a proper doctor in the field where there were little clinics or hospitals.

Unique in her purpose amongst the SOLDIERs, Natalya is a proper doctor, both with her powers and with her hands and gear. Someone who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty in the blood of their enemies or their friends. Willing to fight down the strongest of foes to save the lives of her friends, Natalya is a staunch ally and a welcome comrade to have in the field.

Natayla doesn't kid around when she talks about her gear. Her signature Sil'naya Ruka Zakona is a chunky, tanky suit of battle armour that houses her various weapons. With the insignia of the Medical Corps painted onto both shoulder pauldrons, the suit of armour is a reminder for Natalya to never forget her origins. It monitors her vitals and those of her team, augments her strength and agility, and increases her durability against damage, making her a tank that protects her party easily.

The suit itself houses two weapons that augment her chosen Aeon. These weapons are not modular, but are built in a way that they fit into her armour's housing slots like gloves. Their forms move and shift like machines, even though the weapons themselves remain usable and functional. A combat shotgun rests on her back, just above her right shoulder. A machine pistol lies folded within a holster on her right thigh. Within her left bracer is a deployable riot shield that encompasses most of her body when she crouches, along with a mount for her weapons. Her gauntlets themselves are heavily armoured and resistant to the force she can punch at.

_{M E T E O R P U N C H [strength. chaos. destruction.] Channeling Alexander's rage into her fists, she can deliver a sub-sonic punch that is able to devastate heavy armour or solid structures.}

_{O V E R G R O W T H [caring. kindness. selflessness.] Natalya digs deep into Alexander's guided fury and finds his soft spots for kindness, and releases spores from her armour that, when touched, are absorbed rapidly into the body and provide healing for wounds and injuries.}

Alexander was found in Gatrea, at the land bridge between the continent and Galbadia. Within the ruins of an old castle, the remains of the once grand stone dragon were found. Its DNA provided Natalya with the powers she has now.
