I'll modify her accordingly if there's any change to the setting or Ms Kaz objects to the experiments or what have you.<br/><br/>Her name's Karen Black and she lives in the slums/ruins, using a number of old abandoned apartments scattered around the district to hole up in when she's not out collecting supplies. She's highly intelligent and quite stealthy, but completely helpless when cornered or forced into a fight. Cautious bordering on paranoid,  she'll work with other humans and trades supplies she's scavenged from the ruins for things she can't make or find herself, but rarely sticks with one group for very long and never really seems to trust anyone.<br/><br/>Only ten when the aliens first invaded, she and a number of classmates managed to avoid the indoctrination camps with the help of a few of their teachers. For the next six years the group evaded capture until, after years of struggling to survive, one of the teachers succumbed to temptation and attempted to sell out the group to gain favor with the aliens. Of course she was forced into slavery just like the rest, but the teenagers and other teachers were successfully rounded up thanks to the new intel. The teachers were sent to slave processing but the students were still too young. Having had little success indoctrinating older teens, the aliens handed the group over to a team of scientists toying with genetic modification in hopes of creating more valuable slaves. Over the next two years Karen and her fellow students were subject to countless experiments. Most resulted in nothing but pain and suffering but in the end the group had greatly increased endurance and minor regenerative capabilities, designed to make the humans' fragile bodies more resilient to use by their alien Masters and thus more valuable for both their own use and potential sale to, others throughout the galaxy.<br/><br/>In a stroke of luck, Karen managed to escape her cell one day when the guards were distracted. One of her classmates had let slip to the guards that she'd recently turned 18 and as the brutes welcomed the poor girl to her knew life of servitude Karen and a few others managed to escape their cells and fled into the old part of the city. Splitting from the others early on she's spent the past few months scouting and mapping the area, covertly watching the various survivor camps and setting up numerous bases in which she could hide when the hunters came. Though they give her no advantages in combat, the genetic modifications she was subjected to make it slightly easier to survive in the urban ruins. She suffers less detrimental effects when forced to go without food or sleep for a few days, but such stressful situations on top of the normal difficulties for free humans make her paranoia much more pronounced.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>@Sanai</strong>- that is kind of horrifying, I love it<br/><br/>:D You guys are finding great concepts, since Karen has a little bit of history with the local aliens, if anyone wants to set up a past encounter between our characters let me know (not of the sexual variety if course, she didn't turn 18 until after she escaped and is a virgin at the start of the game)
