Alright we good now Name: Kathrine Vail Age: 24 Sex: Female Appearance: A modest(for a Spartan) 6' 5", Kathrine hardly stands out in physicality from her fellow Spartans. Beneath the armor she is striking, with graceful features that have gotten her remarks about being "too pretty to be Spartan" her red hair is cropped close, being a mere two centimeters in length. While technically female Spartans are allowed longer hair, Kathrine dislikes the staticky feeling from the neural interface. Also, known only to a few who have seen her completely out of armor, her left arm is a robotic prosthetic. Unlike older models, this arm fits inside the skinsuit of her MJOLNIR armor, such that most would never know the difference. Rank: Spartan Armor: MJOLNIR GEN2 Intruder-Class armor, Mark V helmet, right arm mounted TACPAD. Armor is dark red, with light grey markings Weapons: (Please do not use any heavy weapons, like rocket launchers and the such.) Primary: M395 Designated Marksman Rifle Secondary: M20/PDW SMG Personality: Spartan Vail is relatively easy-going eager to please, and shows a dedication to the lives of her fellow soldiers rivaled by few. Despite her aptitude for combat, Spartan Vail retains a naivete about her that can occasionally grate on her fellows. This has yet to affect her, however as she has a sense of optimism that is rarely dulled. Notable flaws include a deep seated fear of open space, as well as a tendency to overextend recklessly in ground combat. History: Born in 2534, Kathrine Vail lived a typical life at the heart of human space, an Earth girl through and through. Nestled safely at the center of humanity, she thought little of the ongoing Human-Covenant war, until late 2552, when the war forced its way to Earth. Now impossible to ignore, Vail witnessed first hand the effects of the war and made a choice. She applied and was accepted into the UNSC Army. she took to military life like a fish to water, and in 2556, Kathrine was recruited into the Spartan-IV program shortly before the events on the forerunner construct world of Requiem. Though she saw little action during the initial encounters on Requiem due to still being in recovery from the Spartan-IV augmentations, she took part in a number of Spartan Ops the following months. During this time, she took on a close combat role due to her innate talents in that area. However, on one operation, she became separated from her Spartan Fireteam with a group of ODSTs. Cut off and behind enemy lines, Vail led them back toward friendly territory, but the group was ambushed by Prometheans. Though the ODSTs were more than capable of handling Crawlers, Knights were out of their class. Vail lost her arm keeping a Knight from bisecting one of the Troopers and had to be carried out. She holds new respect for the elite troopers, but has since taken to mid range combat due to a lack of confidence in her CQC abilities. Extras: Experiences phantom limb pain occasionally.
