The Heretic — Roleplayer Guild

Put together a character skeleton this morning. I'll flesh her out a little later, but I first wanna get a seal of approval before I start running off with her!

ʀ ᴜ ᴇ  ᴏ x ᴛ ᴏ ɴ

" ɴ ᴇ ᴡ ᴛ "

"Shh. The grown-ups are talking."

Name: Rue Oxton
Nickname: Newt
Age: 19, presumably.

On the few occasions where she is out of her armour, Newt is seen to be a short, almost frail looking individual, standing at a height of around 5'3. She is more sickly in appearance than her athleticism would suggest, and the stark paleness of her skin pays her no favours in this regard. Her copper hair is generally unkempt and cut roughly at her shoulders, often pulled back into a loose hairtie. A pair of wide, pale blue eyes are set into her features, and are the trademark of Newt's slightly eerie habit of prolonged staring. A scar, appearing to be the result of a rope burn, paints its way across her stomach.

When clad in her leathers and gear, Newt becomes remarkably androgynous in appearance, and it is not uncommon for her to be mistaken for a young boy by strangers.

Personality:
► Distrusting
► Dependable
► Often Anxious
► Childish

Background: Newt, appropriately nicknamed after her slippery nature, was projected into the new world after a childhood spent surrounded by chemistry. With her extensive knowledge of chemicals and an affinity for trouble-making, it is only natural that Newt fell into the talent of mixing toxins; a skill she is now renowned for among her peers. Whilst Newt is certainly no leader, her position as support is irreplaceable; providing long-range cover with a rifle, dart-gun, and deadly accuracy. However, whilst covert expeditions are Newt's speciality, a recent incident where she had been caught has left her with an altered, slightly shaken personality. The new scar across her stomach is the only sign of her brief imprisonment; a story she otherwise refuses to tell.

Pros:
► Chemist  Given the correct ingredients, Newt is able to mix an array of poisons, sleep toxins, and reactive gases.
► Stealth  As well as being lightfooted, Newt is able to use a grappling hook effectively, enabling her to position herself in awkward and otherwise unforeseeable sniping positions.

Quirks:
► Close-Combat  Given her general size, Newt struggles with shaking off aggressors who are able to close a distance.
► Thalassophobia  Newt has an unspoken fear of deep water. It is unclear as to whether she can swim or not.

Habits:
► Tinkering  Newt has a slightly annoying habit of touching everything. Whilst it seems like innocent curiosity, she has broken things more times than she can count. It's best to keep valuable trinkets well out of her reach.

Equipment:
► Gas Mask  Standard protective gear.
► Flask Satchel  A leather satchel worn around the waist, altered for carrying separate flasks.
► Grappling Hook  Signature gear. A gas-propelled hook, used to crawl into all those awkward nooks.
► Dart Gun  Primary weapon used to effectively apply poisons and sleep toxins.
► Modified Dragunov SUV  High calliber, silenced sniper rifle. Viewed as a last resort.
► Tear Gas Grenades  Tactical grenades filled with her own, irritant elixir. A useful means of escape or engage.
