A blue jumpsuit of sorts with a tool belt on her hips, Tryke has mustard yellow gloves that seem to be always covered in something. When she's off the job, her outfit hardly changes -- she trades in the jumpsuit for a tank top, jeans, and a mechanic's jacket. A few tools usually stick out of her pocket, and no matter what she's doing, she always has the same pair of glasses on her forehead. While they may look like sunglasses, they help her see different frequencies of waves -- infared, gamma rays, and so forth -- when she's working. She also always wears the same pair of clunky brown boots.

With the atmosphere no longer hostile to humans, large cities were erected, with most of them sealing the inhabitants inside. The planet still remains largely poisonous, but Tryke's mother, an environmental scientists, is helping to lead efforts to help tame the planet. Tryke was born a few years after her parents married, her father working as a laborer. When she was young, Tryke was always fascinated with technology. Broken machines seemed to find their way to her, and she would fix them with ease. Eventually, other people on Venus came to her on a regular basis, helping to hone her unique talent with fixing things. She understood machines in a way she couldn't exactly understand people--she could find the problem and fix it. It was simple, and it was logical. And while Tryke did have minor telekinesis, she often just used it in order to have a steadier "hand" when doing her repairs. At age sixteen, the GTC began to train her. She learned how to enhance her abilities through crystals, using the energy they provided to quickly locate trouble areas in larger machines than the little wind-up toys she fixed at a young age. The GTC quickly knew that Tryke would serve nicely as a repair specialist, despite that field being dominated by men. Eventually, by the end of her training, Tryke was able to quickly locate the problem in massive spacecraft, and with the aid of her crystal, repair it in minutes. Given her great potential in repair, the GTC sent Tryke out to Altenia, a location ripe with black crystals. It made sense--in order to harvest the maximum amount of crystals, all of the equipment and the mines would need to be functioning properly. Tryke was just the person to fulfill that particular task.

The university, to say the least, was sending mixed signals. She stayed in the lab, fondly called the "garage" with her research team, continuing to work on building more effective robots for retrieving samples on distant planets. They hadn't made very much progress, and naively, they figured the disease would be eradicated quickly. It wasn't. They remained inside the garage for a month, and one of the engineers, Layla, got a bit crazy being cooped up inside. She ran outside, only to be greeted by a hoard, and Tryke rushed after her. They both narrowly made it back inside "the garage" and were entirely bewildered, hardly comprehending what they had just seen--walkers. [b][color=cc66ff]History Before Outbreak:[/color][/b] Tryke's great-grandparents were prominent scientists, conducting research on the terraforming of planets. They were never able to obtain a grant or funding, causing their ideas to largely die with them. Tryke's grandfather kept all of the schematics and research in the attic, and when her father and mother were moving out after their wedding, they found all of it. For a pair of science-fiction lovers, and having majored in Film and Television in school, they decided to adapt the schematics into a movie. That summer, it was a blockbuster, and made the newly formed Lockley family rich. Less than a year after the movie release, Tryke's parents were already hard at work on the sequel. They had outlined the protagonist of the movie already, a young girl named Trillium Brite who came to Venus with the help of her parents. They were so absorbed with the character that by the time Tryke was born, it was the only name they could come up with. And so, they named their daughter after the movie character. The second movie wasn't nearly as popular as the first, but the Lockleys managed to sell the rights to a television company, and it was then produced in forty minute episodes, lasting for six seasons before its cancelation. Tryke grew up accustomed to her parent's fame, and since the name Trillium Brite was a little hard on the tongue, they shortened it to Tryke, easier for the young girl to say. Her childhood was fairly normal, aside from the fact that she went to Comic Cons, and every so often, fans would think of her as the character from her parents' stories, rather than an actual person. It only served to nurture her stubborn and independent nature, and by the time she finished high school, she was accepted to M.I.T. to study mechanical engineering. More nerds were in the dorms, and at this point, her past had become a bit of an annoyance. She graduated at the top of her class, showing a natural talent at robotics, and then applied to Cal Tech for grad school. [b][color=cc66ff]History Since Outbreak:[/color][/b] After seeing the hoard, the group of ragtag engineers and physicists began to take the situation seriously. They had enough rations (beer and assorted snacks) to last them through the end of the month. They did their best to get by, even modifying their robot to perform the simple task of leaving the garage, but it wasn't able to do much. It wasn't able to retrieve food for them, until about six months in. They were practically starving, having reduced their portions and becoming emaciated in the process. But once their group project was able to head to the university cafeteria and grabbed a box of granola, they thought they would be okay. And they were, for about another three months, until they were discovered. Not by walkers, but by people--people who ended up burning the garage to the ground. Tryke was the only survivor, narrowly able to escape with a few supplies, and hop onto the nearest bike she found. On the back of a motorcycle, she drove as much as she could, putting as much distance between her and Pasadena. Stealing what fuel she could for the bike, she repaired it over the years, slowly making her way in no direction in particular--and oddly enough, this turned out to be Georgia. She fantasizes about setting up a mine field one day, and sitting down in the middle on the singular safe spot, but for now, she rides her bike from town to town, taking what she can, and then moving on to the next place.
