Gender: Female
Physical Description:Rally is far from what you imagine when you think of a soldier. At a towering 5'4" with a lean, petite build, and overall looked somewhat lithe and scrawny. Rally's face is the only part of her that reflects the truth about the fierce warrior hiding inside.
Rally has dark skin and thick, wavy black hair. Her nose is thick and prominent on her rounded face. Her eyes, though somewhat sunken and hidden under puffy bags under her eyes are piercing, light bluish grey. Her left cheek has a long, deep scar that starts near her cheek and ends just before her ear.
Rally usually wears a set of thick-brimmed, circular glasses with lenses that could be described as 'bug burners'. These glasses tend to soften her look by magnifying her eyes to a cartoonish size. Her lips, which are usually thin and pale, are also often magnified by the dark red lipstick she uses.
Backstory: Rally was born on Argos in a much less populated area on the dark side of the moon. Here they lived in a mostly subterranean base used for mining chroma. Her mother was in charge of repairing mining machinery, while her father dealt with maintaining the ventilation in their colony.
When the war broke out between the Elysium board and the Lunar Alliance, the production and mining in her colony went directly to fueling the Elysium board's warfront. Rally herself would take a job in the factories building and repairing ships and military equipment. This was when she would learn about the first walkers in production, and manage to see blueprints of their design.
This brought them to the attention of the Lunar Alliance, which saw them as an important target. Rally's home was attacked, and while they were able to seal themselves off to prevent a full-scale invasion they only prolonged their death into a long, gruesome stalemate. The initial skirmish left most soldiers on the Argos side dead or too injured to fight. With the entrances to the colony shut off, they were left with a dwindling supply of food and medical equipment.
Rally watched those she had grown up around starve, watched her parents refuse food to feed her and her siblings. Things got worse when the invading force started bombing the surface, destroying important solar power facilities and ventilation shafts. Still, the people endured, even without food, without lights and heating, and with hardly enough air to breathe. Battles broke out when the lunar forces bore into the colon. Still, just as soon as they began to overtake the subterranean facility, they were repelled by a squadron headed by Valkyrie 01, by a walker manned by a young woman.
In the chaos underground, Rally had been separated from her family and never saw them again. Her mother was found dead, and while her father was never recovered, witnesses testified to him being crushed by a collapsed tunnel. Rally's brothers and sisters had similar stories. Rally was noted as a hero, having taken it upon herself to defend her home in their time of need.
Initially, she intended to return to her factory job, but the military instead offered to take her in as a walker soldier. Fueled by her anger and pain, she gladly joined up. Rally was given proper training with her Walker and with a few modifications, she was battle-ready.

AspectsHigh Concept: the engineer who cares too much to be a soldier.
Strength: analytical. Combining her understanding of her friends and walkers to be able to find crucial information for a team.
Weakness: Rally cares too much about her squad. If they get hurt, she won't be able to focus.
Description:
Mounted turret unit version 8, serial number 001, designation 'Valkyrie'. An archaic older model of Walker from the early days. Covered in battle scars and lacking any flashy paint job, Valkyrie is heavily armored with thick plates of steel. A shoulder-mounted turret is on one side, the other being a sheath for a massive energy saber. The regulation shield is attached to the forearm, a series of smaller machine guns built into the wrist.
AspectsStrength: durability. Above all else, Valkyrie is built to last. Regular infantry and mounted firepower do very little against it. Even when fighting fellow walkers, it's able to shrug off glancing blows and enduring attacks that would sunder others.
Weakness: maneuverability. Valkyrie is slow and lacks the agility and dexterity that later models possess. Valkyrie is intended to act as a defensive wall and hold a line, and relies on pinpoint reflexes to dodge or counter attacks. To a faster, high-powered enemy, it is essentially a sitting duck.
