[hider=Fox fluff is best fluff] Name: Carina Stratos Age: 25 Gender: Female Appearance: [hider=Nyan][img]https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/aR1r2n5_700b.jpg[/img][[/hider] Personality: Carina is a very dry young lady, to-the-point but also with a sense of humor that can be hard to catch because of her delivery and mannerisms. She keeps to herself, mostly, and can seem cold, but she's just looking out for herself. Brief Backstory: Carina grew up with an artifact-hunting dad and a doting mother. She idolized her dad for the cool equipment he got to use, and the neat-o artifacts he sometimes brought home, though he sold most of them. Once, he brought her back a shiny, pretty, but otherwise unassuming crystal. Well, eventually, when she was about fifteen or so, her cool dad never came home. It took her about a year to figure it out, by which time she'd already started working to take care of her depressed mother. When her mother died, she decided it was time to try her own hand at hunting. Skills: Computer "Magic" - Carina has adapted previously existing systems to interface with her magic, using the crystal substance. Even without this interface, she's a skilled computer scientist. Machine Operating - From a lifetime of playing games and using interfaces, Carina is a natural when it comes to operating most machines. Besides the fact that many things are labeled, certain things have certain conventions that tend to be followed in their design. She's also a decent technician. Home Cooking - Having had to live on her own, at times on a tight budget, Carina has learned to cook for herself to save money. She's pretty good, too. Gardening - She's gotten herself a decent green thumb since she started gardening. She uses the produce in her cooking. Abilities: Crystal Interface - Using the crystals she's been growing, Carina has been developing unique systems allowed by the exotic properties of the crystal. This includes a responsive AI she's programmed into her core crystal. Hardlight Manifestation - Linked to the way she interfaces with her crystals, Carina can manifest hardlight into various shapes. She can use the manifestations as a shield or weapon, or for mundane purposes like plates and tools. Equipment: Crystal Garden - When Carina noticed the crystal she'd found was growing, she planted it in her yard, and started a garden around it. Core Crystal - One of the fruits in her garden didn't grow as a fruit, but some kind of dense crystal. This one was particularly pretty, so she kept it as a necklace and used it as a nexus core. Drones - Carina has taken scrap parts she found from various hunts and cobbled them together into a few remote control drones. The crystal she grows has turned out to be a useful material for filling in gaps. Faction: None [/hider] Oh, should I write in a description and set the image at the top? I'll do that later...
