(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/sexy_pilot_concept_by_garang76-d34vdyh.jpg)<br/><strong>Name:</strong>Caitlin Powers<br/><strong>Profession/Training:</strong>Pilot<br/><strong>Sex:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Age:</strong>29<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>American<br/><strong>Personality Traits:</strong>Cocky, headstrong, determined, brave. Maybe a little reckless. Very driven and intense, especially when "behind the wheel" as it were. Claims that there's nothing she can't pilot and is willing to back it up.<br/><strong>Background:</strong>A former USAF pilot, Caitlin had served her country with distinction, earning equal parts praise and criticism. While unquestionably a skilled pilot, she was also a known discipline issue, cocky, hot-headed and with a well-deserved reputation for getting herself into trouble. While it seemed almost inevitable that she would be involved in an ‘incident’, what came as a surprise was that she was not actually responsible. Rather, a patrol that she was leading was “bounced” by a pair of enemy fighters looking for blood.<br/><br/>Minutes later, both were going down in flames, and Caitlin had a pair of kill marks on her record.<br/><br/>From there, Caitlin was ‘encouraged’ to volunteer for something which would not involve her flying something armed. The Mars mission seemed like a good bet; not only did it offer her an opportunity to boldly go where nobody had been before and a challenge to handle a craft under a completely new set of circumstances (as well as pandering to her ego), it also meant that she would be safely out of the hair of those in charge and afraid that their PR-friendly hero would go off and cause more trouble.<br/><strong>Skill Sets:</strong>Cailtin is an expert pilot, capable of handling a wide variety of air and space craft. Her combination of talent and experience makes her very capable behind the wheel (as it were). Additionally, she has the full range of USAF survival training, and is capable with small arms.<br/><strong>Natural Talents:</strong>Caitlin possesses superb hand-eye coordination, excellent reflexes and agility as well as excellent eyesight. She seems to have an instinctive knack for picking up aircraft operations and being able to fly given the minimum of instruction or even a fair guess.<br/>
