<div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/e/e7/Kira_Singh_characterpic.jpg/383px-Kira_Singh_characterpic.jpg)</div><strong>Pilot Info</strong><br/>Name: Singh, Kira - "Himsa" (Sanskrit: violence, harm, to injure)<br/>Age: 25<br/>Sex: F<br/>Ht: 5'6"<br/>Wt: 132 lbs.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong><br/>Kira typically wears her hair long and doesn't fuss much with it, providing a fairly unkempt look that meshes with the rest of her often casual ensemble, at least when she's off-duty. She tends toward loose-fitting cotton, comfortable clothes rather than fashionable, with the exception of nights she's planning to go out on the town which calls for something more appealing, a closer fit that will exhibit her svelte figure to prime advantage. Her eyes are a brown so dark they could pass for black in low lighting.<br/><br/><strong>Bio</strong><br/>While her official combat role is clearly designated, it's been jokingly suggested by a few of Kira's peers in the OCU army that her real specialty is compartmentalization. Outside of combat situations she's personable, outgoing. She makes a point of spending time with members of her unit to bring everyone together and have a little fun, keep the group dynamics healthy, a practice she's followed since late in her training and recruitment stage. Her family - parents and a younger brother - live in Mandurah, Australia where she visits them regularly, though never to talk about work. She maintains a close circle of friends outside the military and, up until recently, had been in a relationship with a nice boy from Thakek.<br/><br/><em>Inside</em>a wanzer, in a combat situation? Well...an excerpt from one of her early career training reports explains the difference fairly well.<br/><br/>"TRN Singh issued firearm rigged to misfire and jam during simulation, single enemy wanzer engagement.<br/>Simulation intent: force trainee to disengage from field, await support to disable pursuer.<br/>Trainer failed to anticipate TRN Singh choice to use firearm as non-projectile weapon instead of retreat.<br/>Outcome: Pass, with reservation. TRN Singh pay docked 10 months toward repair cost of damaged firearm, retrofit of battered pursuit wanzer."<br/><br/>Psych evaluations are standard procedure for all wanzer pilots and Kira's never failed one; her vim in battle isn't drawn from irrational rage or berserk fury or the like. Her history holds no tragic stories of military or terrorist action destroying a loved one or personally impacting her life at all. She has no vengeance to seek, no passion to pursue on the battlefield. She simply joined the army out of the sense that it was the right thing for her to do and she has proven herself an individual who excels at disrupting enemy formations with her fearlessness and swift action in the field. If she has not yet been considered for higher-ranking positions it is most likely due to a lack of apparent interest in climbing the chain of command.<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>Excellent action and reaction time; close-combat focus, particularly in maximizing disruption of the enemy with pressure; fluidity of engagement and disengagement; evasion.<br/>(Just for the hell of it, the skill set I had in mind for her in FM4 terms: Defense I, AP Cost: -8, Feint II, Charge II, Blast Strike I, Escape I)<br/><br/><strong>Wanzer Info</strong><br/>Type: Zenith - "Gada" (Sanskrit: club, specifically a mace named for the demon Gada from whose bones it was made for Vishnu)<br/>Loadout:<br/>RH: F-5 Hand Rod<br/>LH: F-5 Hand Rod or SN-40 (second rod on most offensive missions; shield on most defensive missions)<br/>RS: n/a<br/>LS: n/a<br/>Pack: JP5-Wren
