She stands 5,9 with a single tangerine colored eye. Her other eye appears to be missing, covered up with an eye-patch fitted with a hex patterned compound sensor. Sporting a noticeable bust and a slender waist, Cathrida dresses in a pair of black thigh-highs, a black and red fest, and wears a pair of dark shoulder pauldrons with a flowing red cloak coming off of it. Both arms and legs have been replaced with cybernetic prosthetics, each one sporting claw-like figures and giving her a somewhat inhuman look. Only when undressed does the full extent of her cybernetic reconstruction become apparent.

PLEASE INPUT COMMAND. >request file C.H Stoker THAT FILE IS HIGH CLEARANCE. AUTHORIZATION IS NEEDED >clearance code: magna carta CONFIRMING... CONFIRMATION COMPLETE. OPENING FILE. REPORT START: Cathrida Hilda Stoker was born in 469 of the Revolutionary Calendar. Her place of birth was Luna, in the 22nd habitation cylinder to a family of coffee farmers. The early years of her life were defined primarily by her work on the farm, with menial labor and repair work taking precedence over any opportunity to study. Though information from this time is limited, after the fact comments and interviews make it clear that Cathrida’s family was content with their way of life while she was anything but content. It seemed she would remain there indefinitely until an incident occurred in the habitation cylinder, with a malfunction threatening the safety of the residents. None of the locals could repair the issue and arrival of proper maintenance individuals would take too long. Then a 12 year old Cathrida appeared and with seemingly little effort repaired the malfunction, saving those living in the habitation cylinder as well as their crops. Though her family believed after the fact Cathrida had intentionally set up the malfunction to occur so she could fix it there is no current evidence to prove that. Her effort caught the attention of L-Sect and she was offered to join their ranks and study with them. Cathrida accepted without consulting her parents, effectively disappearing from their lives. Due to the secretive nature of L-Sect it is unknown what Cathrida did for the next six years. However it is assumed she gained a higher form of education and learned the many secrets of the organization. By the time she was 18 she was well spoken of and was recorded in being very active within the organization. However in 486 R.C a ad-hoc investigation was launched by a Zarn Imperial Official visiting Luna. He forced himself into a private meeting between L-Sect members and an incident occurred. Available sources show great conflict in what happened. The Zarn Official reported that Cathrida provoked and then attacked him, leading to the accidental discharge of a weapon and the death of one elder members of L-Sect present. Other sources state that the Zarn Official used excessive force, having Cathrida beaten for insulting him and attempting to shoot her before the eldest L-Sect member present attempted to intervene and was shot instead. A proper investigation could not be launched however as the next day the Zarn official and the military personnel accompanying him were all found dead. L-Sect announced that Cathrida was no longer with their organization and the Official's ship went missing. Cathrida is believed to have left Luna at this point and it is speculated that over the next two years that she became accustomed to space and found other 'like minded' individuals. By the time she was twenty years old Cathrida was identified and connected to various attacks on cargo ships and vessels traveling between planets. She made a name for herself when she attacked and raided a passenger ship called the Banzing. It is unknown why she attacked a passenger vessel, but rumors were circulating at the time that said that the Banzing was secretly carrying something of immense value. No one knows what she found or if she found anything. All that is known is that everyone on-board the massive passenger ship died, supposedly at Cathrida's hands. This made her a mass murderer and earned her the name "The Butcher of Banzing" as well as a massive bounty, making her one of the most wanted people prior to the Rebirth of Piracy. In spite of her large bounty Cathrida did well for herself. Stealing a Portia-Class repair ship, Cathrida had it remodeled for combat and began employing the mobile workers on board to raid ships. She sought out high value targets and amassed a great fortune, buying off those who wanted her bounty and making enemies into potential allies. However unlike many pirates she sought direct conflict with the Zarn Fleet, sinking and humiliating them whenever possible. During this time rumors of Cathrida's tremendous greed and her ambition began to grow. It was said by many captured criminals that had met her that Cathrida didn't want money, she wanted power. And once she found out that money could only give her so much power...she began to look for a way to seize true power. Using her wealth and connections Cathrida began to orchestrate a plot against the Royal Family of the Zarn Empire. By bribing, black mailing, and threatening various people Cathrida succeeded in gathering the Emperor and the royal family in one place. Aboard an old, Hamlet-Class ship known as the Venue a celebration was held and dedicated towards the long health and good fortune of the Emperor. Everyone aboard was convinced the ship was unassailable, but unbeknownst to them Cathrida had paid to have most of the on-board weapons sabotaged. This allowed Cathrida to sneak aboard with trusted men and take the Royal Family hostage. Gaining an upper hand, Cathrida made it a point to force the Emperor to his knees and shoot him in the head in front of everyone. No sooner did she shoot the Emperor however did someone shoot her, destroying her eye and gravely wounding her in the process. Forced to flee before she could take care of the rest of the royal family, Cathrida attempted to destroy the Venue with her weaponized mobile workers. Only to come face to face with the Empire’s latest weapon, the Redcoat “Mobile Suit”. The Redcoat’s overwhelmed her forces and nearly killed her, forcing her to flee for her life and squashing her chance to seize power. For four years, Cathrida faded from the public view. The Empire searched and searched for her, but to no avail. Then they came upon her ship in orbit around Luna. A fight broke out between Cathrida’s vessel and the Zarn fleet, with Cathrida fighting against a black mobile suit in a fight to the death. Cathrida lost and she, along with her entire crew were supposedly killed. Since then however there have been many who suspected she somehow survived, as the wreckage of her mobile suit was never found and there was no sign of her body. Some believed that Cathrida was rescued by L-Sect and has been in their care ever since, but Imperial Investigators reject this. >Find files related to C.H Stoker NO OTHER FILES EXIST >delete c.h stoker's file ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS FILE? Y/N >Y FILE DELETED. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY[/code] [h3][b]Skills and Abilities[/b][/h3] [color=228B22][b]L-Sect Teachings[/b][/color]: For six years Cathrida received an extensive education on Luna and has a through understanding of the secrets of cybernetics no privy to those outside of the organization. She also has a strong knowledge of electronics, computer engineering, and knows how to program. Using this knowledge she can maintain her own cybernetics and make adjustments to her mobile suits and weapons to better suit her needs. [color=228B22][b]Pirate Captain Experience[/b][/color]: Cathrida was a pirate captain before and during the Rebirth of Piracy in R.C 490. She has intimate knowledge of the Zern Empire's fleet tactics, their older model ships, and how to properly run and utilize a ship. The women was using mobile workers in combat well before the advent of mobile suit and her experience is very clear in combat. She uses a fast and highly aggressive style, using whatever underhanded or foul tricks needed in order to win, fighting in a way that puts more numerically superior enemies at a disadvantage. [color=228B22][b]Neural Uplink[/b][/color]: Cathrida, like all Lunites, is fitted with a cybernetic neural implant in the base of her neck. This plants allows her to physically connect with machines and computers via a cable and a universal port found on most devices. By connecting to a system Cathrida is able to more easily use and understand it. Cathrida is able to take this one step further, modifying her mobile suit and even her ship to allow her to control it directly through the use of her implant. This greatly reduces reaction times and enhances her piloting abilities, essentially turning her mobile suit into an extension of her own body. Most of the time however her full capabilities are limited by the low-quality nature of her mobile suit. On top of his using a neural uplink can be risky as sudden surges of electricity or invasive software can cause extreme pain or injury to her while she's connected. [color=228B22][b]Cybernetic Reconstruction:[/b][/color] Cathrida's arms, legs, right eye, spinal cord, kidneys and liver have all been replaced with cybernetic implants. These afford Cathrida a great number of benefit including heightened strength, agility, reaction times, as well as durability as her limbs have nanocarbon plating. The sensor 'eye-patch' over her destroyed right-eye affords her binocular vision and allows her to see in different visual spectrum if she so pleases. The only downsides are these these cybernetic implants require occasional maintenance and ultimately help to keep her alive, meaning she would certainly die without them. [h3][b]Personal Items and Equipment[/b][/h3] [b]Double Barreled Handcannon:[/b] A double barreled break-action handgun produced in an illegal shop, chambered for rounds well over what would be considered safe for a pistol. However thanks to Cathrida's cybernetic arms and enhanced strength she is able to fire the recoil heavy weapons with ease. Though limited to two shots before requiring a reload the weapon is capable extreme damage, especially with a proper direct hit. [h3][b]Strengths and Weaknesses[/b][/h3] Cathrida is an experienced ex-pirate loaded with potent cybernetics that make her a monster inside ad outside of the cockpit. She knows all the right ways to cut into the Empire's ships and how to best disrupt their forces. The women is intelligent, plotting, and aggressive with a viscous confidence that draws people to her. She has a clear plan for the Zern Empire and even with the few tools at her disposal she is more then capable of carrying it out. However Cathrida isn't the same person she used to be. Though very much motivated by dark feelings within her, she has regrets that have pried open weaknesses in her heart. Her past actions have left a lot of blood on her hands and made her many, [i]many[/i] enemies on Mars who are willing to go the extra mile to see her suffer for what she did. She is also overly reliant on her cybernetics, not simply due to needing them to stay alive, but also in a combat sense. [h3][b]Chosen Mobile Weapon[/b][/h3] ★ ZIMS-01T Turncoat Cathrida Custom [/hider] [hider=ZIMS-01T Turncoat Cathrida Custom] [Center][img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjgwLmJmMzY1Ni5Xa2xOVXkwd01WUWdWSFZ5Ym1OdllYUWdRMkYwYUhKcFpHRWdRM1Z6ZEc5dC4xAAAA/captainswabby.regular.png[/img][/Center] [Center][img]-Place mobile suit picture reference here if you have one-[/img][/Center] [center][h1]1st Generation Customized Combat Mobile Suit[/h1][/center] [center][h2]Unique||Cathrida Stoker[/h2][/center] [color=B22222][h2][u][b]Unit Appearance[/b][/u][/h2][/color] The Turncoat is a heavily modified Redcoat where only a few fundamental elements of the suit have been left unchanged. Its head has received an extensive re-design, reducing its profile, and changing its shape to resemble that of an old-fashioned 18th century pirate's hat. The epaulette styled shoulders have been outright removed and replaced with the shoulders from the ZIMS-02 Tommy, laden with spites. Both arms and both legs of the Redcoat have been improved, making them slicker and somewhat more fluid in motion. A kind of ballistic fabric rigging has been added to the chest, acting as a carrier for reactive armor plates. From the shoulders of the machine hangs a cape made of a similar material. [color=B22222][h2][u][b]Technical Details[/b][/u][/h2][/color] [b]Accommodation:[/b] Pilot only, standard three-screen cockpit in torso. [b]Dimensions:[/b] 18 meters [b]Powerplant:[/b] Medium-output Wilberforce Reactor [b]Equipment and Design Features: [/b] [color=F0E68C][u][b]•Salvaged Tommy Reactor and Backpack[/b][/u][/color] In order to improve the capabilities of the old 1st Generation Redcoat, parts were salvaged from destroyed Tommy's found drifting through space. Only the shoulders, reactor, and backpack of the found Tommy could be used to improve the Turncoat. However even with just these parts the overall capabilities of the suit are improved. Great boosting reactor power and doubling the speed of the unit thanks to the improved thruster backpack. Since the Turncoat is still as light as the Redcoat, it is able to take advantage of the extra thruster power that Tommy's otherwise can't due to their increased weight. [color=F0E68C][u][b]•Reactive Armor Carrier and Ballistic Cape[/b][/u][/color] In order to boost the defensive abilities of the Turncoat while keeping weight down, the chest and arms have been fitted with ballistic fiber rigging carrying reactive armor plates. These plates explode when struck by projectiles, effectively denying the explosion through a shaped charge. Along with these plates is a thick cape of sorts hanging from the Turncoat's back, made of the same ballistic fiber but thicker. The cape along with the plates provide a helpful boost in defense. However the reactive armor loses effectiveness with each strike, meaning every shot provides another weak point for the enemy to abuse. [color=F0E68C][u][b]•Neural Control System[/b][/u][/color] Modifications have been made to the Turncoat to allow Cathrida to connect directly with it and control it via her neural implant. This vastly boosts the capabilities of the mobile suit and allows her to use it in ways a normal pilot couldn't. The arms and legs of the Turncoat have been redesigned to allow for more human-like movements. However even with the changes the Turncoat has trouble keeping up with Cathrida's input and partially handicaps her abilities to a degree. [color=B22222][h2][u][b]Weapons and Combat Capabilities[/b][/u][/h2][/color] [h3][b][u]Handheld Armaments[/u][/b][/h3] [color=F0E68C][u][b]•192mm Double-Barrel MAG Shotgun[/b][/u][/color] The Turncoat Custom carries with it a crude magnetic weapon, essentially an illegally made break action mobile suit sized shotgun. Though limited to two shots, the shotgun is capable of firing solid slugs or armor penetrating shatter shot. Its main advantage is that it can be over charged and used to devastating effect in close quarters, or even at a distance with the wide spray of magnetically accelerated pellets being difficult to dodge. The main weakness is that it can only be fired twice, or once if both barrels are fired at once, forcing frequent reloads using the individuals cartridges kept in pairs on the outside of the machine. [color=F0E68C][u][b]•P390 SMARTgun SMG x2[/b][/u][/color] High, compact, sleek looking sub-machine guns fitted with high power sensors and high capacity 80 round top-mounted magazines. Being Smartguns these sub-machine guns don't simply fire conventional rounds, but rather they fire high-tech guided munitions. When fired the rounds from the smartguns will curve and correct their course, tracking enemy movement and shifting direction to hit them. Their penetration and damage is limited due to the inclusion of guidance systems, but are highly accurate. While Cathrida is connected to her mobile suit, she can manually guide the rounds in order to hit pin-point targets on mobile suits in close range. The guns are mounted on small, crude sub-arms on the back of the Turncoat, allowing Cathrida to fire them freehand or remove and duel wield them as necessary. [h3][b][u]Fixed Armaments[/u][/b][/h3] [color=F0E68C][u][b]•[color=F0E68C][u][b]•Nanocarbon Cutlass[/b][/u][/color] [/b][/u][/color] A long, curved sword with a razor sharp nanocarbon blade. Carried in a sheath on the Turncoat's hit it serves as an effective and dangerous melee weapon, capable of hacking off the limbs of enemy MS or running through cockpits. [h3][b][u]Strengths and Weaknesses[/u][/b][/h3] The Turncoat is an improvement over the original Redcoat, using parts from the 2nd Generation Tommy to improve its speed and reactor powers. Improvements made to its limbs and the modifications made to allow for use of the neural connection implant of its pilot greatly boost its mobility and capabilities in combat. However it is still rather fragile like the Redcoat and the efforts made to improve its defenses provide only temporary benefit in long term combat. Even with the improvements made the performance of the suit still handicap's the pilot and prevents them from showing their full potential. [color=B22222][h2][u][b]Technical History[/b][/u][/h2][/color] After Cathrida was shot down, she was rescued from the surface of Luna by L-Sect who also recovered her heavily damaged Redcoat. As they attended to her medically, installing implants to supplement her destroyed organs and helping her through rehabilitation, her Redcoat was gradually repaired. Initially Cathrida's allies in L-Sect had great ambitions for what they could put into the suit. However they feared too much advanced tech would lead to them being accused by the Empire of assisting the pirate queen. As such they salvaged what they could from elsewhere and made most of the improvements using mundane, available technology. Only the addition of a pair of Smartguns and adjustments made to allow the suit to be controlled via Neural implant would so much as hint at their involvement. After a number of years Cathrida was healthy enough to leave and took her custom Turncoat and stowed away on a cargo ship headed for Venus... [/hider]
