[b]Name[/b]
Steindreia “Stein” Kalfox

[b]Appearance[/b]
Stein is youthful in appearance, though that is a far oversimplification of how she appears to others. Expressed by scowls, grimaces, and narrowed brows; Stein has a vicious temperament towards social and military scenarios alike. Her hair is a pale blonde that is supplemented by what many have called “icy, emotionless” eyes. Her casual attire, when she cares for it, is decidedly practical resulting in fitted clothes for appropriate weather conditions but not forsaking mobility. Stein’s body isn’t very tall though, which only aids in her somewhat youthful appearance; setting in at about 5’5”.

[b]Age[/b]
Twenty

[b]Personality[/b]
Cold and calculating, Stein is a product of her environment. Raised to be the perfect soldier for Volkov International Security, Stein’s morality is a hard question to answer as she has never really had a moral compass of her own. Operating for the corporation from a young age, she had been conditioned several times over as corporate instructors drilled in countless lessons that planned to make her content with the actions of the company and no one else. After countless battles, Stein has found herself not only distanced from “normal” human reactions and beliefs but also particularly vicious in her resolve thus gathering her the title of “Little Dragon” amongst other corporate soldiers. Beyond her fire & ice-esque exterior it isn’t quite certain if she has emotions such as sympathy or empathy. 

[b]Backstory[/b]
Those born in the dominion of the Volkov International Security company are raised with two priorities: the good of the corporation and the survival of the citizens who live under it; it probably isn’t a surprise to learn that the former is the only one priority that stands with majority importance. Steindreia Kalfox was born the daughter of Ingram Kalfox, one of the members of Volkov’s board of directors and a self-described “company man”. Stein would never come to know her mother or even be informed of her existence by her father, a man who would see his daughter simply as another way to become higher on the pecking order of the board of directors. How else would he get more important than seeing his daughter as a means to an end? 

Initially his idea was to groom her as a possible bargaining chip for an arranged marriage… that is until she showed aptitude at a young age intellectually and after some degree of examination was deemed worthwhile as a corporate soldier rather than a corporate bride. For Ingram Kalfox it seemed like his instincts with his daughter to advance his station were perfectly correct… or at least to his perception. Thus began Stein’s career as a corporate pawn began at age ten, though she wouldn’t see combat herself until five years later after various developments under her mentor, Roxa Vox. Stein would kill her first man at age fifteen and exponentially gained fame amongst the ranks of her comrades. “The Little Dragon” would become deserved of her title as her ruthlessness in battle ravaged and maimed. 

However, recently it seems Volkov and their “Little Dragon” have come at odds. This of course is due to the board’s dismissal of Ingram Kalfox after “suspicious circumstances” which put his entire career decisions on trial including that of his pet project: his daughter. This resulted in the removal of Stein’s reputation, resources, and status amongst the company; a company who would hastily abandon her thus resulting in a firefight between one of her in-company rivals who now realized Stein didn’t have a corporate brand of protection. Left for dead with a half-blown NC, relieved of resources, and “thrown away” to New Anchorage, Stein was now forced to work independently as she wonders why everything she is has been branded as non-existent…

[b]Tactical Preference & Skills[/b]
Due to her conditioning, Stein is particularly skilled given the wealth of her military training and combat experience which includes training in close quarters combat, standard battlefield tactics, physical conditioning, and firearms. However these are only a few of Stein’s advantages as she lacks in-depth understanding of things outside of corporate concerns, moral expectations, and so forth. Her preference in her non-mecha skills are a tie between close quarters combat and firearms; going for an agile combat basis utilizing handguns. 

Her level of skill is the following:
[list]Mecha Piloting
CQC
Firearms[/list]
[b]Neural Plug Synchronization[/b]
98%

[b]Notes[/b]
Stein doesn’t know how to process “everyday” life; including personal emotions, relating to others, hobbyism, art, and so forth. She only understands things in the ways of corporate and military interests which makes her pretty confused in the current situation she is in.

[b]Code-name [/b]
Little Dragon

[b]Appearance [/b]
[url=http://i.imgur.com/l82vEhA.jpg]Image[/url]  | Painted in a coat of cobalt and silver with chrome framework; the “Little Dragon” doesn’t intend to appear titanic in appearance with little to no overbearing designs and instead more practical additions.

[b]Body & Type[/b]
The “Little Dragon” is a standard mechanized bipedal tank, based on quality designs from Volkov engineers. Though there have been some modifications tailored to Stein as well as differences due to the current generation of Volkov designs. The NC itself isn’t the largest nor the smallest of its class, lying somewhere in the middle. This allows for a moderate level of armor but also a degree of mobility over the gargantuan NC’s in generalized combat. However, the “Little Dragon” is hardly ‘vanilla’.     

[b]Equipment & Armaments [/b]
Modified by Stein and tailored to her personality by Volkov engineers, the “Little Dragon” has a good deal of ‘extra content’ such as:
[list]
[i][b]Anti-Armor Machine Gun System:[/b] A modified MEK-50 machine gun system designed with anti-tank ballistics in mind; this modification allows for more ammo capacity. Stein favors this over a Railgun simply due to reaction speed even if it has a far more disposable ammunition. 

[b]Personal Defense Lightshield:[/b] Based on the experimental AEGIS-01, this lightshield is created in a way similar to a lightsword (energy, plasma, etc) to block incoming melee strikes. It uses about as much power as a railgun but over a sustained amount of time. Can cause power malfunctions and brownouts if used over capacity. 

[b]Anti-Personnel Crowd Control System:[/b] A vanilla VGKW-04 missile launcher spread meant to deal with soft targets.

[b]Short Thrusters:[/b] The standard of the majority of current model NC’s, the “Little Dragon” has small use pulse thrusters to traverse small cliffs or avoid crowded scenarios.

[b]EMP Flares:[/b] A small amount of EMP flares are also on board to allow for radar jamming and other utilities. [/i][/list]
