[centre][hider=Senior Agent Caitlyn Ellesworth][hr]
[color=Silver][i]5'11, pale skin, a single grim grey eye and a tight bun of bright blue hair. Walking into Caitlyn's office puts you face to face with a woman in her forties who has absolutely no time for any shit you might be thinking about putting on her. Both of Caitlyn’s lower legs have been replaced by custom made bionics and her well-toned form is marked with scars of previous fights, scores of shrapnel, slashes and shots indelibly marked into her skin.[/i][/color][hr]

[color=Gold][b]Name[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Caitlyn Ellesworth. 'Miss. C' to underlings not on missions, 'Puma' when on missions. Calling her 'Cougar' is a fantastic way to earn her ire. Friends get to call her Cat.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Appearance[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]As previously mentioned, Caitlyn stands at around 5 foot 11 inches (180cm) making her slightly above average in her home of America and quite obviously above average amidst her shorter Japanese colleagues. Her hair has been consistently dyed a deep blue since her early 20s, to the point where few remember her original hair colour is a light brown.

When on duty, Caitlyn wears a well-tailored black suit and a blue tie that matches her hair, the only sign of her door kicking days the fact that she wears a set of military boots, the leather polished until it's so shiny you can see your reflection in it. Off-duty, she defaults to a set of semi-formal black jeans and simple long-and-short sleeved t-shirts depending on the weather, often defaulting to a jacket unless it's particularly warm. Usually however, her clothing covers up the most distinctive part of her- the fact that both of her legs have been replaced by cybernetic enhancements. Something of a cyberware purist, Caitlyn's legs are a distinctive shiny chrome, partially a design choice, and partially an intelligent ruse, because Caitlyn has another set of cybernetics far fewer people are aware of- her eyes.

Both of her eyes have been replaced by a complicated series of prosthetics, and over one she dons a strapless black eyepatch, made from an electroreceptive surface that has the property of allowing her cybernetic eye to see through it without any loss of visibility. Her remaining eye is almost entirely indistinguishable from a regular biological one, which is, of course, exactly what she wants.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Personality[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Once, Caitlyn was quite the party girl. Or so her old colleagues say. Now she hasn't touched a bottle in more than a decade, anything that goes into her lungs that isn't air is vapourised and she seems to relish clocking in far more than clocking out. Fiercely intelligent when it comes to cybernetic systems, Caitlyn holds a PHD in Cybernetic Engineering, earned over more than thirteen years of work, most of which was on her own body parts. Having overcome limb loss, addiction and the death of more colleagues than she'd care to admit, she's often seen as icy and frigid, but the truth is she's simply much more careful about who she allows herself attachment to. What good is it becoming acquainted with a brand-new agent when they could be lying on a cold slab in two weeks time?[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Role[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Squad Operational Manager. Caitlyn's days as a direct field worker have mostly come to an end (although she's still a surprisingly mean shot with quick enough reactions to take on a man half her age and come out on top,) but she's not lost more than two decades of combat experience, and is happy to pass it on to those below her. Sitting in her office, looking through camera feeds or controlling aerial recon units, more than one assault team member owes their life to Caitlyn foiling an ambush.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Equipment[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]
[b]Weaponry & Armour[/b][list]
[*]H&K SOCOM 24: A modernised variant of the SOCOM 23, the 24 is a semi-automatic large-frame pistol firing 14 .45 super rounds before needing a reload. A holdover from her FBI days, hers is quite clearly the USSOCOM variant, sporting a laser aiming module, suppressor and a red-dot sight. It's [b]extremely[/b] rare that Caitlyn is ever seen without this gun strapped to her.

[*]H&K SFP9-M: Despite being made in Germany; the gun has been standard issue in the Japanese army for 11 years. 20 9x19mm shots, held inside her integrated leg holster. This is Caitlyn's 'backup' or 'holdout' weapon.

[*]Dynatech Industries Hand Taser: A normal-looking pair of black driving gloves with a series of metal contact points located in the knuckles. When clenched into a fist, the glove is turned on, causing the contact points to crackle with 50,000 volts. Each glove can carry two charges before needing a recharge, the process of which takes three hours per glove charged. The weight of the electronics also makes for a reasonable knuckleduster in a pinch.

[*]Lightweight Ballistic Vest: A simple, relatively thin and unnoticeable Kevlar vest most easily compared to a waistcoat rather than actual combat-ready armour. Although poor against knives and unlikely to stop heavier bullets from penetrating through, shotguns and lighter calibres will be halted, albeit with a tremendous amount of pain and blunt force imparted on Caitlyn in the process.[/list]

[b]Augments[/b][list]
[*]Custom-Made Cybernetic Leg Replacements. Caitlyn's thesis. Her pride and joys. Shockingly chrome, silk to the touch and tougher than titanium, her legs are built to last and can dish out no small amount of pain themselves. Resistant to fire, heat, cold, acid, bases, EMPs, piercing and slashing damage, blunt and concussive impacts and probably would be radiation-resistant if not for how redundant that would be. They also feature numerous concealed compartments, including a holster in the right calf, a small bug-out kit in her right thigh and a storage compartment in her left thigh. Finally, they have a set of pneumatic jacks capable of unleashing a devastating amount of pressure to anything underneath them, easily capable of destroying conventional car engine blocks at a cost to the long-term structural integrity of her legs, her spine and any shoes she might be wearing.

[*]Custom-Made Cybernetic Eye Replacements. Although not lavished over like Caitlyn's legs, her eyes have a few tricks to them as well. With the ability to switch into low-light and heat-sensitive vision modes, a 'dazzle guard' feature that automatically blacks out her vision to protect it from sudden bursts of light and will slowly adjust to brighter lights, a 30x zoom and a covert recording feature originally designed for undercover work, they're not to be underestimated.

[*]Heart Monitor. Independent of her heart's functioning is this monitor. The usage of it should be obvious.

[*]Artificial Hormone Regulator. An extraordinarily common implant, this allows Caitlyn to adjust the hormone balance in her body. Normally used in order to increase adrenaline before a fight, but has other usages too.

[*]High-Density Bone Lattice: By 'weaving' together muscle and bone, both body parts benefit. Caitlyn's muscles are tougher, more tear-resistant and tire slower, whilst her bones are far less likely to break under most circumstances.

[color=Gold][b]Previous Careers[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Caitlyn worked with the USA's FBI for longer than most of the people she's worked with have been in the Security Force. She knows the rules and she knows them well; although the country has changed, people haven't. Before her time in the intelligence services she worked, rather oddly, as a mechanic, which laid the groundwork for the mechanical knowledge she now uses for her cybernetics work.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Biography[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Caitlyn's early life was not an easy one. Born in the slums of the East Coast Sprawl, a megacity that stretched from New York to Washington DC, she grew up in a smoggy rat maze of poverty and crime. Her father worked as a car mechanic, although in the slums he was often more of a car scrapper, whilst her mother made money through odd jobs- maid work here, food delivery there, and even a few times unsteady office work in call centres or as a secretary. When she was a child, Caitlyn often suffered from severe asthma attacks thanks to the air pollution, and with parents too poor to be able to afford inhalers and medicine she would have to suffer through these, sipping in air and desperately trying not to succumb to panic.

The family's poor fortunes took an unexpected change however when her father's vocation adjusted slightly. Rather than breaking down parts, he was approached by one of the sprawl's many gangs who thought his skills could be useful to them; chop shopping and frankenstining damaged cars together. Although not the most ethical way of making money it certainly managed to pay the bills, and when Caitlyn was old enough, put some spending money in her pockets too. When she was seventeen however, things changed, two well-dressed gentlemen approaching her and informing her that they knew of her father's secrets, and unless she became an informant they'd come down on her father like a sledgehammer.

Reluctantly, she was inducted into the FBI as little more than a humble snitch. Terrified that her secret would be discovered or that she'd fail and her father would be imprisoned, she walked a thin line with surprising grace, until, two years later, the operation came to an end and she was offered a choice- enter witness protection, or become an FBI enforcer. Tired of being powerless, she chose the second option, 'imprisoned' as part of the sting's ending and being taken to a Bureau training facility where she learnt the rules of this new world.

As an active agent, Caitlyn was on the frontlines of raids across the sprawl, and the threats to her life were numerous. Eventually, one caught up to her. A breach gone wrong resulted in both of her legs being blown off, the tatters of her thighs so bad that they had to be amputated in order to allow for her implants to be put in. Whilst she recovered, she took the time to apply her previous mechanical knowledge to this new part of her biology, studying for a degree in Cybernetic Engineering at FBI educational institutions. Returning to active duty and undercover work would see Caitlyn turning to alcohol as a way of self-medicating the numerous psychological problems she had picked up thanks to her work. After one undercover operation went bad and her cover was blown, she returned to the agency's fold with a new individual- another criminal-turned agent who she would fall into a relationship with. 

Slowly climbing through the ranks (and seeing her boyfriend dispatched to a decades long undercover operation) she would emerge at age 35 significantly changed woman. Proper therapy and medication had seen her leave behind alcohol to deal with her problems, and she had gone from a field agent into a departmental director, responsible for the administrative overview of cybernetic crime units across the sprawl. Here she remained for six years, until in 2030 she was recommended to be sent abroad to Japan, where the NSF had been offered a small number of veteran agents. Although having technically received a fairly major demotion her pay hasn't seen an equivalent cut, leaving her in an odd position of frustrated at the xenophobic NSF structure whilst also content that her skills are still being used.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Affiliations[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Most of Caitlyn's old friends have been left behind in America, and her mother and father have been dead for more than twenty years.[/color]

[color=Gold][b]Relationships [Optional][/b][/color]
[color=Silver]This is how they view other characters throughout the story. This could be updated as major changes in their connections and view of one another is expanded upon. Most changes can be listed from experiences out of combat, but some can occur from within their combat positioning out in the field. This can cover rivals, those they hate, romantic interests, friends, or simply acquaintances and work-colleagues if you want.[/color]
