So this is what I've got so far... It is so frustrating looking for images of female professionals that are not overly sexualized :rolleyes Also, since I couldn't find a picture of a brunet I'm just gonna specify in the description she's not a blond. I'm, of course, open to constructive criticism :lol [hider=Olivia MacCready][center][img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lzu1iBxieso/SIwNA9fPpEI/AAAAAAAAAsc/XCv3UNrW-Cc/s400/rosie-2a-col2.jpg[/img] OLIVIA MACCREADY 31 | 5'5 | O-[/center] [Sub][b][color=darkgray] A P P E R A N C E [/color] [/b][/sub] [I][indent]Olivia is not very tall, but she is strong and fit. Her hair's brown, but will get the darkest shade of blond during summer. Her hazel eyes are her favorite facial feature. They will change color depending on her moods and sometimes even clothing she's wearing. Her chin is adorned by a slight dimple and her lips are full and gently pink. Her complexion is permanently tanned due to long hours spent in the fields. [/indent][/I] [Sub][b][color=darkgray] P E R S O N A L I T Y [/color] [/b][/sub] [I][indent]Olivia is hardworking and easygoing person. She doesn't balk at the hardships of life. Instead she tries to find things to offset them. To balance them. Or someone to share the burdens with. [/indent][/I] [Sub][b][color=darkgray] B A C K G R O U N D [/color] [/b][/sub] [I][Indent] Olivia was raised on a farm, operated and cared for by three families. They grew all sorts of vegetables. Olivia loved working the fields. It was hard work, but it was rewarding. You could literally see the fruits of your labors. So she never complained and did her chores dutifully and promptly. She learned the value of hard work. Yes, it wasn't work that would get you rich. Not by far. But she never wanted for nothing. She had her family, her work. She was happy. And of course it is how she discovered her first love. Growing up in the farm, she had to learn to operate all sorts of farming equipment and with the passing of the years she grew more and more curious about their inner workings. What made them work, how to fix them when they broke. She would spend equal amount with the old mechanic who kept their equipment in working order, as she would on the fields. Bit by bit and year by year she would learn the craft and soon became as proficient in fixing things as he was, if not better. Her mother hated it, of course. Her little girl would come home greased up from head to toe. Her elbows and knuckles constantly scraped. But Olivia loved it and she made quite the case for herself stating that when the old mechanic retired, they wouldn't need to pay someone else, because she could just do the work herself. And so it went. But Olivia was also smart. She didn't just love learning by doing. She would collect books and all kinds of study materials. Anything to help her folks with the farm. So when the Catastrophe War started and the colony declared its neutrality she hoped they would be left alone to their way of life. It might have been a hard life. But it was theirs and they'd made it work. However, slowly but surely Eleos was dragged into the conflict and she felt compelled to protect her home and the way of life, she'd grown to love. And so she'd volunteered for the Planetary Militia. She brought her mechanic skills on the table. Which were now expended to include mech maintenance. Being small Olivia quickly discovered a preference for long ranged combat and sought to increase her proficiency with sniper rifles. She also trained like a devil in hand to hand to offset her small stature with a quick style of close quarters combat. In and out, attacking the week spots. She wanted to be as efficient as possible. She wanted this war over and done with, so she could go back to her farm, grow her crops and work on her machines.[/indent][/I] [Sub][b][color=darkgray] S K I L L S [/color][/b][/sub] [I][Indent] Olivia is a very good mechanic, sniper, proficient in hand to hand combat. She gives a mean back-rub and can play the harmonica. She can also sing quite well and has the voice for it, but is incredibly self-conscious doing it.[/indent][/I] [Sub][b][color=darkgray] F E E L I N G S O N O T H E R S [/color][/b][/sub] [I][Indent] TBA[/indent][/I] [Sub][b][color=darkgray] N O T E S [/color] [/b][/sub] [I][indent]Olivia is bisexual, although she does prefer ladies to gents.[/indent][/I] [/hider]
