<div class="floatright">(http://orig06.deviantart.net/2289/f/2015/028/4/e/ryuko_by_kr0npr1nz-d8fqyq6.jpg)</div><br/>Lets try this again.<br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Kathryn Foss<br/><strong>Callsign:</strong>Dwarf/Dorf<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Human<br/><strong>Sex:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Age:</strong>23<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>Veritech Pilot, RIO<br/><strong>Rank:</strong>1st Lieutenant<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong><br/>Kathryn is<em>just</em>tall enough to meet the minimum height requirements for being a pilot. She keeps herself in excellent physical shape, refusing to (or perhaps afraid of) being denied flight privileges due to physical reasons. Self-described as being "smol, but also (ง •̀_•́)ง". Her short stature, wiry physique, nerdy interests, somewhat bellicose attitude, and impressive ability to consume alcohol earned her the callsign 'Dwarf'.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>Kathryn was born to a happy and moderately well off family on Earth, with a single older sister (Millie). As a child, she dreamed of flying through the stars. She did (and still does) wave model ships around and make 'whoosh' and 'pew-pew' noises. The UN SPACY was her only real path to that, so she took it as soon as she could. The day she crossed the threshold of being tall enough to be a pilot was easily one of the happiest days of her life.<br/><br/>Kathryn has some limited combat experience against non-peer opponents (has been in combat, but not against a 'real' opponent). Most of her prior experience was in flying the equivalent of a F-16 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon) to the VF-1's F-14 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat). She finds her current craft heavy and sluggish by comparison, but 'fortunately' she's generally not in a combat pilot seat anymore, instead running ELINT and EWAR systems or flying around someone operating those systems. Possibly as a result of her piloting experience, she strongly favours the gunpod over missiles in combat.<br/><br/><strong>Your 3 best attributes / skills:</strong>Hot-Blooded, Patient, Situationally Aware<br/>Kathryn has a fiery passion for almost all things in life, but is capable of a surprising amount of patience. The outcome of a battle is often decided by who makes the first mistake, and she's quite capable of waiting for her opponent to err. While her pure piloting/dogfighting skill are sub par for a combat pilot, she excels in keeping herself in a position where differences in piloting skill are irrelevant. She can hurry up and wait like no other.<br/><br/><strong>Your 2 worst attributes / skills:</strong>Insecure, Hedonistic<br/>Despite being very good at hiding it, Kathryn is remarkably insecure, and tends to overcompensate for her fears. This shows up most obviously in her attention to PT and maintaining her form, but it can show up in other ways as well. A core insecurity of hers is being temperamentally unfit for military service; she fears her personality skews too independent/hedonistic to truly fit into military life, and overcompensates by being excessively enthusiastic about doing things she thinks she's 'supposed' to do. This typically manifests as drinking way too much while on leave and then curling up into a ball and crying while asleep. She's also a pilot, not a soldier; when she was waving her toys around as a child, it was the 'whoosh', not the 'pew pew', that captivated her.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">That is either one of the worst or one of the better lines I've ever written.
