She’s about average height for a thirteen year old girl of her background (5’3”) and with a build that has been hardened from over three years of physical conditioning though given the lack of a military regimen Ryn isn’t too muscular though her frame packs far more of a punch than one would presume. With fiery orange hair and blue-green eyes, Ryn looks determined despite her childish appearance. She wears whatever she can find, though she prefers loose comfortable clothes over all else. She refuses to wear a dress. [/color][/indent] [color=f7941d][sub][ ⛨ ] P E R S O N A L I T Y[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]The girl that would become known as Ryn is not one that has held many friends and for good reason— Ryn is abrasive, loud, arrogant, boastful, blunt, confrontational, condescending, and generally downright antagonist to a senseless point. Where it is true that many of these things are products of a child raising themselves in the unforgiving frontier of the North America, a lot of it is simply that she has realized she can get away with anything as long as she does her job. At the end of the day there is only one person Ryn cares about— Ryn. For nobody helped her or her family when they needed it so she lacks sympathy for those who rely on her to do anything then what she is required to do. This apathy lends itself to her carelessness that would’ve ostracized Ryn from other communities had she not been more than a capable NC pilot. However, Ryn isn’t heartless by any means and in some others can see the sort of helplessness that she once held; a helplessness that she hates and will decide to give out to those people what the world has given to her, believing it is a obtuse “circle of life”. For if anybody reminds her of her childhood they deserve to be put into the earth like worms— a reminder Ryn tries to push aside by the familiar feeling of self-medication, materialism, and seeking out to prove herself by her own obtuse standards to people who have long since been dead or gone. [/color][/indent] [color=f7941d][sub][ ⛨ ] S K I L L S E T[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75][b]Brawler:[/b] When Ryn started out as an independent pilot nobody took her seriously and on several occasions asserted their dominance over her. So, generally Ryn got used to being shoved, slapped, thrown, and choked; something of which that only continued to make her madder and madder. So she learned to [i]fight[/i] and she learned how to do so in the dirtiest, cheapest, and most savage ways possible. If a battle can be won with a knee to the groin or a wrench to the kidney she will gladly show those on the receiving end that she isn’t afraid of anyone and can hold her own despite her age. [b]Junker:[/b] Her mother taught her the basics of electrical engineering and mechanical knowledge, expecting full well that it would be best for Ryn to have a career in the future rather than hope someone in Blackstone Harbor needed her to run a story or found her pretty enough to be a wife. The Dradht’s were always taught to be self-sufficient. Ryn is no NC technician or genius savant however and her repairs on her NC are generally sloppy work that can only stretch her NC until the next outpost where a [i]proper[/i] engineer actually is located.[/color][/indent] [color=f7941d][sub][ ⛨ ] B A C K S T O R Y[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Kathryn Dradht was born in the wasteland city of Blackstone Harbor in 2663 to an independent NC pilot of the region by the name of Sheryl Dradht with an unknown, undocumented father that was believed to be a con artist that ditched Blackstone Harbor when his debts caught up with him.

Painted in a metallic sheen of palatinate with silver undertones, the Little Dragon flies the colors of its former corporation though the branding of the company logo has since been removed as well as the paint faded due to its constant battles it has been forced to endure in harsh environments. But despite this wear and tear the Phantasm is not weak nor is it worse off for it— it has survived several lifetimes of pilots before Ryn and will continue to do so when it moves hands in the future. In addition to its standard antimatter power core and cockpit, the mecha is fitted with conventional and experimental equipment— though it doesn’t hold more than two modes within its function as a NC; thus the standard module and the advanced module that allows it to work at a hyper reactive level are the only ones installed and available to a pilot. Aforementioned armaments include: [list][*][b]On-Hand Weapon:[/b] Sniper Rifle.[/list] [list][*][b]Arm (R):[/b] ---[/list] [list][*][b]Arm (L):[/b] Inside the left forearm of the Phantasm exists several large missiles that contain several smaller variations for use of flooding enemies. Their impact is more deadly to infantry and basic building structures but are not completely useless on unshielded NC’s.[/list] [list][*][b]Shoulder (R+L):[/b] The Phantasm in addition to the machine's flight capabilities has somehow acquired an experimental cloaking drive during the time of Sheryl Dradht, a utility item that has saved her daughter’s life on many occasions. Not a “true invisibility” cloak (as such things are fantasy), the prototype generator generates a camouflage that adapts to the environment by absorbing light and giving the illusion of whatever the environment happens to be at the time.

Michael Graham:[/b] He gave Ryn her job and treats her like an equal, so she likely respects him in turn. He is her [i]boss[/i] though so she is mindful of what he tells her. [/hider] [hider=NC Pilots][[color=aba000]★★★[/color][color=gray]★★[/color]] [color=teal][b]Agatha Smith:[/b][/color] Text. [[color=aba000]★★★★[/color][color=gray]★[/color]] [b][color=808080]Alan Fouren:[/color][/b] Alan is a familiar face among a sea of strangers, though sometimes Ryn isn’t sure if he really remembers her or not due to his aloof sarcastic nature. Generally despite of any speculated misgivings Ryn believes he’s at least someone she can lean on considering she has seen his skill on the field firsthand and at the end of the day Ryn is fond of not dying. Her friendliness towards him can be seen as the opposite though given Ryn’s playful teasing being possibly perceived as antagonistic taunts. Then again with comments like “You really are worthless, aren’t you” it isn’t difficult to make the assumption. [[color=aba000]★★★[/color][color=gray]★★[/color]] [b][color=0076a3]Anastasia Kalfox:[/color][/b] For some reason, outside of the exams Ryn hasn’t interacted with Stein at all. She’s cold and almost robotic in dialogue with a disdain for annoying antics. Depending on events things could go one way or the other, though Ryn thinks about the same of her as she does Eli and often jokes that “the robot women” need to let loose a little before they bore the whole base to death. [[color=aba000]★★★[/color][color=gray]★★[/color]] [b][color=6ecff6]Elizabeth Jackspar:[/color][/b] Ryn hasn’t had too much of an interaction with Eli and she most certainly don’t find her interesting enough to tease or harass. She calls her “hush” as a joke when conversations come up that involves Eli and she is pretty sure if Eli’s overheard it she hasn’t liked it. In reality, Ryn gets off on people reacting to her and when people don’t it just pushes her to try harder. Her friend Vera is attempting to understand why Ryn acts the way she is but it’ll take more than two months to break Ryn out of her shell or attitude. [[color=aba000]★★★[/color][color=gray]★★[/color]] [color=Khaki][b]John “Jingo” Strange:[/b][/color] Text. [[color=aba000]★★★[/color][color=gray]★★[/color]] [b][color=ffd1dc]Madison Cole:[/color][/b] The two haven’t talked, but Ryn has overheard stories about how Madison “used” to be. She hasn’t seen any of the energetic aggression that people talk about so she just assumes they are full of shit and any comparisons between Madison and her are just attempts to scare her into submission. She might take that annoyance out on Madison in the future depending on her mood. [[color=aba000]★★★[/color][color=gray]★★[/color]] [b][color=ed1c24]Ordent Callaway:[/color][/b] Ryn doesn’t really have much of an opinion on Ordent, but things can change depending on future interactions. He’s been around albeit kind of pathetic to her perspective and the only interaction has been a snide comment or two from Ryn’s mouth. [[color=aba000]★[/color][color=gray]★★★★[/color]] [b][color=lightsteelblue]Percy Moore:[/color][/b] If you ask Ryn about Percy she’d likely go on a long-winded rant on why he’s a “stupid loser”, a fact cemented on the reality that Ryn and Percy come from two totally different worlds with incompatible ideologies; though it doesn’t help that Percy’s first interaction with Ryn was bringing up how she was a [i]kid[/i], which unsurprisingly is one of Ryn’s trigger words. They have had multiple interactions since despite Percy trying to keep his distance and Ryn keeps trying to goad him as she continuously harasses him for her own amusement. She doesn’t care about his skill in a NC, she hates him for who he is and what he says. [[color=aba000]★★★[/color][color=gray]★★[/color]] [b][color=8f735b]Tahlia Styles:[/color][/b] Ryn hasn’t really interacted with Tahlia, and doesn’t know what to think. From her perspective she has heard how she was a “big shot” pilot for the Red-Star Corporation but Ryn is a person of seeing people in action rather than believing what other people say. She could go either way. [[color=aba000]★★★★[/color][color=gray]★[/color]] [b][color=662d91]Vera Voloshyna:[/color][/b] The first person to talk to her and not try to lecture her entire existence, Vera is probably the only one she could say is her friend onbase without second guessing it. Ryn knows Vera finds her interesting and tends to take the attention like a sponge and she can’t help but find it curious how she herself could’ve turned out in different circumstances— something Vera’s own life and similar age keeps her coming back to. Ryn can relate to the sentiment of a family ditching her and almost feels like this is the first person since her mother’s murder she can connect with; though she would deny it if she were to be asked. She also feels a tiny bit attracted to her due to the onset of puberty and being forced to engage with people her own age for once.
