Turns out the world doesn’t want to change, not really.”[/i][/center] [color=lightblue][b]NAME:[/b][/color] Kaitlyn Davenport [color=lightblue][b]ALIASES // TITLES:[/b][/color] Kay to people she’s met in person, Citizen K to the Labyrinth [color=lightblue][b]SEX:[/b][/color] Female [color=lightblue][b]AGE:[/b][/color] 34 [color=lightblue][b]APPEARANCE:[/b][/color] In a word, tired. Kay often attempts to hide the dark circles and bags under her eyes with various amounts of concealer and eyeliner with mixed results. She keeps her hair slicked back more often the not and the faint scent of cheap pomade hangs about her constantly. Her gaze is difficult to hold for too long before it bores holes straight through your skull. She seems to always look past your face and into your mind. The rest of her face is a bit worse for wear. Not that it came like that, she just has a few marks (mostly scars) here and there. That being said, it’s not surprising she constantly looks over her shoulder any time she doesn’t have her back to a solid wall. The most notable mark on her face is the tell tale line going down the left side of her forehead of a false skull plate. Such implants allow for ease access to the brain and imply extensive and or elaborate cranial cybernetics underneath. In the way of tattoos she only has one, a minimalist design on her right shoulder of a squid wrapping its tentacles around a computer. Maybe one day doctors will invent a cure, but in the meantime Kay remains allergic to smiling despite being and avid fan of both dry and gallows humor. In the same vein, she usually speaks with a very matter of fact tone. She says what she says and you can take it or leave it. Her clothes are often wrinkled or very baggy and completely hide her figure. Oversized T-shirts are the norm for her. She seems to have a symbiotic relationship with her collared jacket, only taking it off to shower and that's merely assumed. It's faded all over, has a crude patches over the right elbow, and there's a tear near the left pocket but dammit it all if it ain't hers. [color=lightblue][b]PREVIOUS OCCUPATION(S):[/b][/color] ► Gang Member ► Cybersecurity Specialist for APEX Industries [color=lightblue][b]CURRENT OCCUPATION:[/b][/color] Black-Hat Hacker [i]”If it has software I can fuck with it. Maybe if you kick a few extra stacks my way I’ll make sure no one fucks with your systems.”[/i] [color=lightblue][h3][i]Psychological Profile[/i][/h3][/color] [center][i]”Swear to God I'm gonna swing at the next person who asks me if I'm okay.”[/i][/center] [center][b]Pragmatic | Cautious | Blunt | Ruthless | Meticulous | Cynical | Determined | Protective | Observant[/b][/center] [color=lightblue][b]PERSONAL GOAL:[/b][/color] [i]“Right now? Get enough money in a pile so I can throw it at someone and they’ll take me somewhere else; someplace far, far away. Where? Hell if I know. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. Why do you wanna know so damn bad?”[/i] [color=lightblue][b]CAMPAIGN GOAL:[/b][/color] [i]"Been running small time gigs for a bunch of paranoid wackos thinking they have what it takes to be the next Pirate Party President. None of them could do it but a lot of them are willing to pay me for the honor of having firewalls installed on their servers that any hacker with a potato hooked up to a router and a free afternoon could break through. I guess if I had a goal it would be to get hired by as many asshats with delusions of grandeur before the end of the election cycle."[/i] [color=lightblue][b]PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY:[/b][/color] [i]”Most everyone is out for themselves and those who aren’t are either lying or stupid. Other than that, take what you want before someone takes it from you, but watch who you take it from.”[/i] [color=lightblue][b]POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY:[/b][/color] [i]”Everything’s fucked and the only solution is to burn it all down and start from scratch. Not that anything like that would ever happen. Too many people are content with the shitpile they’re stuck in.”[/i] [color=lightblue][b]SECRETS:[/b][/color] [i]”Fuck. Off.”[/i] She’s not nearly as heartless as she likes to pretend she is. She cares what happens to the people around her no matter how much she denies it and tries to play the ice queen. In addition to the heart she keeps locked away, she also keeps her damaged liver a secret. She had a jaunt with alcoholism that spiraled out of control and it was only a year ago that she managed to really put herself back together. Even still, she relapses from time to time and isn’t keen on sharing her struggle with addiction. [color=lightblue][b]FEARS:[/b][/color] Her greatest fear is dying in the Reclaim Zone or before she has the chance to achieve real freedom, to leave the mega regions behind and find somewhere to start over. Other than that, gunshots make her panic to the point of a total fight or flight response. Even loud, sharp noises easily startle her if she doesn't expect them. [color=lightblue][b]REPUTATION:[/b][/color] She has a reputation for being colder than ice and smart as a whip. She’s efficient and does exactly what you ask, no questions asked, even if she's rough around the edges. [color=lightblue][b]LIKES:[/b][/color] ► Coffee (Her blood is at least 5% java) ► Improving (The world of cyber security changes daily and she makes sure to stay updated) ► Hawaiian Pizza (Yes, she’s [i]that[/i] kind of degenerate) ► Playing the Guitar (Idle hands reach for booze) ► Rain and Thunder (It’s soothing) ► Cooking (Girl's gotta eat) [color=lightblue][b]DISLIKES:[/b][/color] ► “Tainted” Coffee (Cream and sugar are for the weak) ► Passive Aggressiveness (Never halfass an insult) ► Picking on something weaker than yourself (Smaller animals and children are off limits) [color=lightblue][b]QUIRKS:[/b][/color] ► Restless Leg Syndrome She took a knock to the noggin a long while ago and ever since then her right leg jitters whenever she sits or lays down for too long. It often makes it hard to sleep so she drinks coffee to stay awake after restless nights but caffeine makes the jitters worse and makes it even harder to fall asleep so she drinks more coffee and around and around it goes. ► Look Don’t Touch Kay doesn’t like being touched [i]at all[/i]. She will always go out of her way to avoid touching people in crowded places if she can help it and won’t even shake someone’s hand unless they offer first. ► Animal Lover Yes, she absolutely [i]must[/i] pet that dog if she can. ► Fidgety She keeps small bits and bobs she fidgets with when she has nothing to do. [color=lightblue][h3][i]Background Information[/i][/h3][/color] [center][i]”Just keep going. One foot in front of the other and maybe, just maybe, I’ll make it someday.”[/i][/center] [i]"Same story you’ve heard from every other sap. Grew up poor, dad left, mom drank and snorted like the world was ending. When she was drinking she was swinging at me and if she was snorting she got handsy. Took a bottle to the face and decided enough was enough. I got involved with street gangs who told me to deliver shit for them and I could sleep in the corner of their little shack. I still had to beg and steal for enough to eat so it wasn’t that much different from living at home but at least everyone kept their hands to themselves. Moved around a lot and eventually wound up with one of the more tech savvy groups. Called themselves “The Kraken’s Fist”. It was a stupid name but they weren’t quite the dumb fucks you’d expect. They had me running errands at first, but one guy, Darren, taught me how to work a computer and the difference between operand and open source long as I got his rocks off. They even let me help with their corporate espionage gigs and account raids. Got pretty damn good at it too. One day a bunch of tatted up dipshits shot my tatted up dipshits and I was out of a job and a house. Eventually, I managed to catch a break when a hiring manager took pity on me. Still pisses me off when I remember the look he gave me as I walked in. Anyhow, I managed to keep my mouth shut and showed what a know. He passed his notes off to the higher ups and I landed a job as a cybersecurity specialist for an APEX Industries subsidiary, "Obsidian Tech" they called themselves. Did that for a while until I crossed paths with the worst decision of my life at the bar. The rest is none of your fucking business and yeah, it’s why I’ve got a big hunk of head bone missing. But, again, that’s none of your fucking business."[/i] [hider=”What part of “none of your business” didn’t register with you, fuckwit?”] That “worst decision of her life” was a hacktivist by the name of Olivia Cook who approached her after Kay had continually made the life of her hacker group a living hell for a solid month. Olivia got to her when she was still bright eyed and optimistic; when she still believed things could change. It took some work, but eventually she managed to convince her to join up with their ragtag band of misfits and make a positive difference in the world. Kay and her new friends bummed around the Labyrinth and the real world for the better part of five years raising all sorts of hell in the form of hacktivism and robin hood type shenanigans. As time went by, Olivia and Kay grew close and eventually became romantically involved. But it was not to last as, eventually, their antics caught up to them and they pissed off the wrong people. Kay still doesn’t know for sure who did it, all she remembers is the horror on Olivia's face when she reached into her glove box with her cybernetic arm, retrieved a gun, and pulled the trigger with the barrel to her temple. She saw the terror in her eyes and the split second of hesitation. She knew what was happening even before the barrel touched her head. Someone had hacked her cybernetics and there was no telling who was next. All at once her entire world came crashing down. The woman she thought she’d spend the rest of her life with was dead and her peers scattered like roaches after the incident. Kay’s first order of business was finding a ripper doc willing to not only turn off her augments, but tear everything out of her head down to the last piece of her neural overlay. That was three years ago and she can only hope the people who murdered her fiance are satisfied, or at the very least forgot about her. Now she stumbles through life just trying to survive the next 24 hours and hoping she can get somewhere better someday.

Despite her staunch aversion to cybernetics, she can't exactly go without eyes. They do their job well enough and give her 20/20 vision in the visible spectrum. Nothing special, no extra bells and whistles. The only interesting thing to note is that all wireless diagnostic functions have been disabled post manufacturing. For any system information to be gathered, the eyes must be removed and manually plugged into an external computer.

Cellular, satellite, radio, WLAN, infrared, bluetooth, and even some low decibel radar. If it sends out a wireless signal, she can detect it and do all sorts of fun things when she connects it to a computer. ► Amalgamation Onyx Series Laptop It's not so much a laptop as it is a mobile workstation. This folding, 3 screen monster is the most valuable thing Kay has ever owned and for good reason. The beastly weight of it is a testament to the amount of hardware it contains and leaves no wonder as to why most other computers can't keep up. Multitasking is a breeze and even massive simulations run like greased lightning. She uses the ungodly power of this machine to break through encryptions and slip past security systems. ► Amalgamation GateKeeper Hardware Cybersecurity is useful for everyone. This little doodad is essentially a computer without the keyboard, monitor, graphics card, or any sort of manual input method but filled to bursting with cutting edge security software. It's one singular function is to vet all data that comes through it via a hardwire connection and either approve or dismantle the data. Though not impenetrable, it's one tough nut to crack. ► Various Cords and Adapters You never know when you'll need an RVI to USB 5.0 adapter. [color=lightblue][b]SKILLS:[/b][/color] ► Cyber Security (Break something apart enough times and you'll eventually learn how it's put together) ► Hacking (While not all powerful, she's fairly capable against even corporate security) ► Tactical Kitchen Wizard (You'd be forgiven for believing her to be a professional chef after trying her macaroni chilli or squid fried rice) ► 6 String Picker (Merely a hobby but you tend to get good at something you do for 10 years or more) [color=lightblue][b]FLAWS:[/b][/color] ► Caffeine Dependent (She’s basically useless until she’s had her morning cup of Joe) ► Untrusting (No one does things “just to be nice“ so what’s your angle?) ► Recovering Alcoholic (Sober [s]112[/s] 6 days) ► Overly Blunt (Tact? I don't even know her) [/hider] [hider=Relationship Table Template] [table=bordered][row][cell][color=lightblue][b]Character name[/b][/color][/cell] [cell][i][color=lightblue][b]Relationship[/b][/color][/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell]ViK[/cell][cell][i]"I… I owe her a lot. Everything, really. I'd probably be rotting in a ditch somewhere if she hadn't operated on me. I can't pay her back, there's not enough money in all 14 megaregions to pay her back for what she did, but I can cook so that's something at least. Not to mention she knows she can call me for anything and I'll do my best to help… But don't get the wrong idea. We're not "friends", alright? So what if I bring her lunch? Doesn't mean we're friends. Least she can do is be focused if she's going around ripping people's arms off."[/i][/cell][/row] [/table][/hider]
