It was giving late and Katherine stirred awake from her nap. She yawned and stretched, standing up and brushing the dust off her clothing. She sighed, thinking that the wait was for nothing, then peeked around the corner one last time before she left for town. There, only a mile away, was two figures, walking towards her. She quickly snapped back behind her cover and smiled.
"Hell yes! Finally, a day not wasted! Ooooh I can already see that reward... No! Get a grip! This is the job, and it must be treated as such!" she thought to herself with new energy from seeing her potential target. As the pair walked into the area, Katherine first observed them from cover. One fit the description fairly accurately, a short, red haired male who looked young, but his companion was odd, an even shorter Machina robot. She quickly went back to her cover and waited till they were only five yards away. Once they got close, she casually walked out right in front of them, whistling a tune before facing them.
"Heeeello there! I am Katherine O'Harre, bounty hunter extraordinaire!" she paused and held out the bounty for display. "And it is your lucky day to be my target! Now as you can tell by the bounty here, the Black Widows want you dead or alive, alive being a very nice bonus in addition to that bounty. So! As I always must be fair, I give you a choice; we can do this the easy way....." She put away the bounty and grabbed her Ballistic Scythe off her belt. It was completely folded, but with the swing of her arm, the scythe suddenly totally deployed, revealing the large weapon in its full form. "... or the hard way. Dead or alive, you're coming with me." she finished, waiting to see how he'll respond.

I don't know if you meant to make multiple posts, but try not to spam like that in the future
Yeah, the website sort of freaked out there for a second. Glitched post is glitched XD
Anyway, I posted in the IC, feel free to have Meesha and his robot run into Katherine.
Word spread quickly when the Black Widows had returned, though nobody was as infuriated as their leader. The returning thugs where cursed out of the building by the leader, before he settled down and tried to figure out what to do.
"Hmmm...... One man, Talented..... and he goes and takes my goods....." he thought to himself aloud from behind his desk. He shook his head and leaned forward in his chair, arms now resting on the desk in front of him. "Put out a bounty on this man, anyone who brings him to me will get a handsome reward! If he's brought in alive, they will get a bonus! Giving me the chance to personally peal that bastard like an onion will be worth it, but mounting his head on that wall will be all the same to me! Go spread the word!" With that, his thugs ran out the room to get the bounty out there...
Somewhere along the edge of the Vorakian Desert, a small town lay there. It was a left over from the water treatment projects, a crumbling, dieing town. As one Black Widow thug walked out of the local bar, a young woman clad in red walked in. She had been in town for a week now, looking to work up enough money to journey ahead and cross the border into the more neutral territory of Morr. She needed to get out the nation before Seekers find her and before this new war gets ugly. She walked up to the bar and sat down on the stool. A rough, unkempt, overweight bar tender walked over to her to greet her.
"Afternoon Kat, here for the same thing I take it?" he asked as he continued to wipe the inside of a class with a piece of cloth.
"For the seventh time Mac, the name is Katherine, not Kat, not Katty, not Rine, just Katherine. Not that hard to say....... And yeah, any bounties availible?" Katherine asked with a slightly annoyed tone, Mac simply shruged and pulled a piece of paper out of his apron pocket.
"Some Black Widow thug came in with one, apparently their boss wants this kid looking fella dead or alive. Last seen on that stretch of road way out there in the desert. That's all I got for today." he finished, walking further down the bar to cater to customer. While she wanted a more legitimate bounty, taking jobs from the government may not be the best strategy for someone with Talent. Thus she took the piece of paper and walked out the bar towards the last known location.
A few hours later
Katherine arrived at the sight of the ambush. Immediately she could tell that the bounty didn't lie about her target having Talent. Some sections of the road and ground where deformed unnaturally and fairly recently, so she guessed this talent had something to do with manipulating the ground. Further observation showed why the bounty had ambushed them here. There was chunks of rubble and rocks laying along the side of the road, easily providing cover to anyone in hiding. She decided she would wait and see if the person would return, after all, much of the surrounding landscape was barren and empty, and this spot was the only place that provided some form of cover. She leaned up against one the rocks in the shade and sat down.
"Time to play the waiting game...." she huffed to herself.

Hey sam haley, don't mind if I take advantage of the situation that you created and fast forward it a few ours? Just enough for those guys to wake up, contact the boss, and get a bounty out just as Kathrine is looking for one. She'll probably intercept (or at least try too) after your character has made the drop off, so my first post will just be her traveling to the sight of the incident hours later. Getting the job will be sorta a "right place, right time" deal.

Okay, CS is all done, feel free to look it over.
Hey, just to clear some things up in case of confusion, Walter's ship exited warp very close to Cletus and Luke's location, or at least close enough for them to hear the sonic boon like sound and see the ship "landing"
Sorry if I wasn't descriptive enough. ^_^;

Alright, it's pretty much done! Might make only a few minor edits if I come across any typos or such.
Name:
Kathrine O'Harre
Age: 19
Gender:
Female
Birthday:
January 1st
Profession:
Bounty Hunter
Background:
Kathrine was born into an originally poor family that lived in the slums of the city. While they where poor, her mother and father carried some optimism about their situation, always trying to to see the brighter side of things. This all changed, however, when her father died in a factory accident. Her mother, already on the edge due to losing all of her own family, finally broke down. She became the usual extreme, raving alcoholic while her own mental status slowly degraded. By the time Kathrine was ten, her mother was constantly physcially and mentally abusing her, often saying she was the reason why her father died. Things got even worse after her mother was eventually fired from her low paying job for showing up late one to many times. This drove her mother to the deepest pits of despair, destroying what little happiness she had inside. One day, Katherine noticed that her mother was acting odd. She was sober, and being kind to her for once.
"Hey, let's go for a walk together hmm? Just you and me." her mother had said with a soft kindness. Katherine couldn't believe it, and was so overwhelmed she didn't think twice about saying yes. They walked down the dim streets towards the harbor district, Katherine paying little attention to her surroundings. Finally they stopped at a small warehouse and her mother knocked on the door. It cracked open, revealing only a glimpse at what looked to be a regular looking man. They talked in a hushed whisper very briefly before the man opened the door. "Alright dear, let me introduce you to a few friends of mine from work, they can't wait to meet you." Her mother said, confusing Katherine. None the less, they entered the small warehouse revealing five men standing in an empty room, a well dressed one in the center of the group.
"She's the gal?" the well dressed man said.
"Yep, as you can she, she's quiet a beauty." her mother replied. It didn't take long for Katherine to snap out of it to realize what was going on. These weren't coworkers, and this wasn't just some friendly walk....
Katherine silently left the small warehouse, walking down the street in a daze. Behind her, she left a room dripping with blood and gore. Confused and fatigued, Katherine eventually collapsed on the side of the road, covered in dirt, wreaking of death. When she awoke again, she found herself in the bed of a stranger's house. As she soon learned, a bounty hunter had found her and taken her in. Originally he just wanted to do a kind service and return her to her parents, but after hearing her story, he took her in as his daughter. She learned about his unique weapon and fighting style that accompanied it, and after she turned twenty, she left her home and father to see the world and collect a bounty or two. Currently she is traveling in Morr in search of work.
Nation:
Vorak (Birthplace/childhood) and Morr (current)
Skills:
Great Agility: Katherine is fast on her feat and quick to react as it is a key component to mastering the Ballistic Scythe
Good Upper Body Strength: Twirling that heavy scythe around and wielding it needs a lot of muscle and endurance in the arms, thus try not to take a direct punch from her(AKA don't piss off the redhead)
Cunning and Strategy: Having both a complicated style to master and a naturally rational, skeptical mind let's her come up with strategies and practical solutions on the spot.
Fighting style:
3Dimensional Combat:
The fighting style relies on thinking in 3 dimensions of movement, frontal, flanks, and from above. This requires the user to have a lot of concentration to be successful with it, mainly because the scythe doubles as a rifle of sorts, and fires specially made rounds. Now what's special about these rounds is not the bullet, but the cartridge. They pack tremendous amounts of recoil, but is controlled in a way that allows the user to take advantage of it, whether it be adding some extra momentum to a charge, a stronger swing of the blade, or even jumping to higher heights.
Talent (if any):
"Matter Manipulation: Katherine first discovered her talent when her mother attempted to "sell" her. She can manipulate the speed in which the atoms of a substance vibrate, making them move faster or slow them down. In simpler terms, make something really hot or cold. She lacks full control, being able to only target one item. For example, if she were to use it on an individual, she would have to target something like the skin or blood, not the whole body, and focus on that particular item. She also has to be in physical contact with the target, and can only influence a sphere that has a three foot diameter.
Personality:
Katherine enjoys sarcasm and being generally rude, but not to a necessarily "rude" extent. She's generally friendly towards people, and is clever in battle. She cares not for concepts of "Honor" or "Chivalry" since to her, fighting in its nature is barbaric enough, why try to be dumb about it? Thus she is a dirty fighter both with fights of strength or fights of words. She has a cunning aptitude and will take advantage of any opportunity. Underlying it all is a deep regard for skepticism and rational thinking. She hates religious zealots and isn't really a "servant of the gods" per say.
