Kapuria always reminded her of some docile housecat name, which may have been fitting had her life gone down the same path her parents had planned when they gifted her with the name. Seeing as how those plans changed, it just didn’t fit anymore. The bubble gun haired firecracker had the presence of a small artillery shell. While her sister was subtle, she was everything but. She stood tall, chest out with the gumption of someone lacking the intelligence that would tell her to be afraid. She kept her hair in loose braids or pulled back most of the time, for convenience sake. It allowed a clear view of her eyes as bright and blue as the crystal peeking out from the seabed; at least when they weren’t covered in sunglasses. You could see her unshakable confidence brimming from a twisted little grin that tugged at youthful colored lips. Her attire usually consisted of vibrant colors, tight fitting shirts under loose jackets with utilitarian pants and hiking boots. Of course, when out in the wilderness she muted her color choices, though always with a pout. She kept a bandana around her neck, useful as a face mask when necessary. Her general predilection was towards a sweet and bubbly personality that spilled over into her appearance; but that was only a facet of her being. She was completely capable of donning a serious expression, eyebrows forced downward and lips pursed. In this state a barrier flowed from her like waves and her small form became a volatile thing; better left undisturbed. [/indent] [color=fe7fc4][b]Biography[/b][/color][indent] [color=gray][b]41AF .[/b][/color] . Born to an engineer father and a scholar mother. Both of her parents were integral members of the Junction Point community. Childhood wasn't the same after the fall of the crystals but her parents did what they could to teach their children about the world without depriving them of the joy and carelessness of youth. [color=gray][b]52AF .[/b][/color] . She was 11 when Junction Point was ransacked. Her sister and three other children from Junction Point survived because they were out playing in the caves when the raiders came. They remained hidden, watching the destruction from afar. A couple days later two of the children headed back towards town and were captured by the raiders. Their fate is unknown. The remaining three waited it out in the caves for two weeks before sneaking home. [color=gray][b]52-58AF .[/b][/color] . Surviving alone definitely changed the girls. Lola did her best to keep them unseen and "safe" while Ka-boom and Dezi did the more practical stuff. That is, until 54AF when Dezi was captured. Rescue attempts were unsuccessful and Dezi's whereabouts are unknown; presumed dead. Though you couldn't tell today, this was one of the darkest times for Ka-Boom. She became noticeably more violent and aggressive, seeking the destruction of the raiders. Ka-Boom got into explosive type weapons because the two of them weren't strong enough to fight conventionally and she got into repair and modification because they didn't have access for new tech. They adapted to stay alive. They became rather well stocked by using Lola's ability to secretly pilfer through raider camps. They used a cave system near Junction Point that both girls know like the back of their hand. They left cache's of supplies scattered about the caves in case things go to shit again. [color=gray][b]58AF .[/b][/color] . Joins Ambrosia, originally taken in by the Pledge who cares for them and rehabilitates her sister. Ka-boom had grown to distrust everyone but Lola, she went along with them for Lola's sake. She blames herself for Lola's loss of control, knowing that Lola never would have pushed herself in such a way if she hadn't been trying to protect her sister. She may seem bubbly, if not reckless, but when it comes to protecting her sister she is all teeth and claws. [color=gray][b]59AF .[/b][/color] . Rejoining "civilization" had it's struggles. Many people found Ka-boom to be bristling, to say the least. She grew to be fascinated with people and became aggressively social; though she was even more intrigued with weapons knowledge. She took an apprenticeship for Jorgen's. She gets paid for any work outside the walls, but work inside the walls is paid for in training, education and gear.

A.S.R.A.’s have many different functions but this one is specifically modified to analyze damage/flaws in weaponry and offer solutions. It’s programming is mostly made up of a compendium of calculators; math, physics and theoretical formulas. A.S.R.A. is about the size of a palm; built like a spider so that each of its arms functions with a different gauge. Has the ability to self-repair. Gained in a trade for labor.

Youthful and energetic post-CF creature. Vocalizes in a manner similar to owls, but has a puppy like demeanor and coat. Beneath the pads on it’s feet are some pretty killer claws. Carlfred does not serve any real purpose. Purchased from a tamer in Ambrosia.[/indent][/hider][/indent] [/hider]
