[b]Fisticuffs' NPCs[/b] [hider=NPC Captain Faraday] Name: Captain Aileen Faraday Age: 32 Race: Human (Mars-born, Martian Citizen) Sex: Female Character Trait: Tough-as-nails Character Personality: Aileen could easily be seen as just another gung-ho “everything for humanity”-style human weapon. She could easily be seen as a stereotypical “drill sergeant.” If one takes the time to get close to Aileen, one could see that she’s a genuinely caring person who hides that facet of herself under a guise of gung-ho “let’s kick some alien ass”-style dialogue. She worries greatly over the safety of her soldiers, and when not in combat, can be friendly or open to them. Character Background: Born and raised on Mars, Aileen was the daughter of a mechanic and a career soldier. She was conscripted at age seventeen, but would have volunteered soon after if she’d had the chance. Her unit was led by a sort of rising star within the military, Captain Thomas Dunn. In a war full of losses and delayed inevitability, Aileen’s unit did quite well for itself. Aileen, herself, proved to be an effective soldier and leader, and soon became one of Dunn’s most trusted subordinates. Victories for humanity were few and far between, but Aileen and her comrades were very good at surviving battles, and killing a helluva lot of Bulwark before they left. This impressive track record came to a screeching halt when Aileen was twenty-one. A nameless battle, but one that took the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, including all but three of Aileen’s unit, including herself. Of the three, one was missing in action and the other, Thomas Dunn, was badly wounded. Aileen was the only soldier to come out of that battle unscathed. After Thomas essentially retired, Aileen was rapidly promoted and given new soldiers to command. She proved to be a capable leader, though one noted for being a hardass. Her soldiers often have conflicted feelings of hate, fear, and admiration for her. Recently, her unit was folded into the 558th Defensive Army, where she again met her former idol, Thomas Dunn. Much to her delight, she now outranked him. The two may disagree on methodology, but both are equally interested in keeping the soldiers of the 558th alive. Curio: Aileen’s sidearm is outdated, a functionally deadly memento from when she first joined the military fifteen years ago. Appearance: Aileen is surprisingly small, standing at 5’ 4” and weighing 123lbs. A lifetime of soldiering has made her lean and strong. Her hair is kept short, and reddish-brown. She has sharp features and sharper eyes. [/hider]
