It depends on what happens, I suppose. I like to let character development flow naturally. I can see her falling in love, though it would need to be with a character willing to deal with her being married to her job and not being exactly good at forming serious relationships, whether platonic or romantic. She's pansexual, though, so I guess that gives her a lot of options.<br/><br/>In terms of nonromantic aspects, I'm honestly very not sure. I guess I'd just like to see where her story goes. I wouldn't mind having her have a few crowning moments of badass, like coming out with her latest anti-demon invention and saving the day, but I do intend for her to be a scientist and not a fighter, so I expect that more often than not she'll be away from the battlefield, unless she needs to conduct field research.<br/><br/>I'd also be curious to see her smoking or drinking play into things if possible. Either through things getting so terrible that she winds up drinking when she has work, which would certainly be a sign of shitting hitting the fan, and that getting sorted out. Or perhaps either a romantic interest or a strong friendship resulting in her lessening her smoking, or perhaps even quitting entirely. I suppose I also would be interesting in potentially having her father involved with the story either directly or indirectly, although I'm not certain how that could be handled. So, yeah, really, I'm not sure what else to say, and I'm tired, so I'll wrap up this all now and send it in before I pass out at my keyboard.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>FILE NUMBER</strong>:<br/><strong>CLASSIFICATION</strong>: Researcher<br/><strong>DEPARTMENT</strong>: Research &amp; Development<br/><br/><strong>NAME</strong>: Yeonhye Chae<br/><strong>DOB</strong>: 18 March 2073<br/><strong>BLOOD TYPE</strong>: A negative<br/><strong>HEIGHT</strong>: 172cm<br/><strong>WEIGHT</strong>: 62kg<br/><strong>EYE COLOR</strong>: Dark Brown<br/><strong>HAIR COLOR</strong>: Dark Brown<br/><strong>RACE</strong>: Asian<br/><strong>ETHNICITY</strong>: Korean<br/><strong>CITIZENSHIP</strong>: Asian Union<br/><strong>LANGUAGE FLUENCY</strong>: Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin Chinese, English<br/><br/><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Yeonhye was born in South Korea in March of 2073. The world she was born to was one ravaged by vicious monsters. A peninsula sticking out into the Pacific Ocean, Korea was hit hard by the demons, especially the South. It seemed that every year her family was pushed further North. Between that, and the North taking advantage to try and 'unify' Korea under their control, she was born into a world of uncertainty and suffering. Her family was initially from the city of Mokpo at the southern tip of the peninsula. The demon attacks stole her home, and from the time she was a baby, she knew no homes but refugee camps and homeless shelters.<br/><br/>Her life proceeded largely like that, her family moving more and more North as the demons encroached further along the Korean peninsula. When she was twelve, however, her parents learned the hard way that they hadn't been moving North fast enough. Demons attacked the city they were living in at the time. She lost her mother that day, and that would have been enough to drive her into despair; however, she lost more than that. When the building her and her mother were in collapsed around them, her mother lost her life, and Yeonhye lost her right leg. She was rescued from the building before she could die, but she continued to be plagued with nightmares of that day well into her adulthood. She always felt she was a burden on her father after that, though he did the best that he could to support her and make her feel loved. Still, she knew she with a missing leg, her mobility was shot and he had to always make extra certain she was safe, and that she could get everything she needed, that she could get where she had to go.<br/><br/>During this period of her life, she began to dedicate her life to reading, both fiction and nonfiction, and learned as much as she could from them. When her father found a job up in Seoul, and was able to send her to receive regular, proper schooling for the first time in her life, she was already thirteen, but she did the best that she could to catch up and learn fast. She found passion in science, spending as much of her time as possible learning the basics, and then the advanced information, then brushing up on all the latest theories. She was fascinated with science in all its forms, though, given the state of the world, she drew special attention to the study of demons. Just what they were, how they operated, and most importantly, how to kill them. Her missing leg kept her from working the field, from helping to fight them physically, but through her knowledge, she was determined to fight them however possible.<br/><br/>Eventually, she was able to secure an internship with ADAMS, and happily took it. She had to part with her father for the sake of her career. The only constant in her long life of torment, but she knew she had to do it, and he understood. Their parting as tearful, even as she promised to stay in touch. With that, she was left all she ever knew behind, a life of poverty and suffering, to chase her dreams of changing the world for the better. She was just twenty, having made incredible strides in her education, through passion and will.  However, her life wouldn't get better before it got worse. En route to her destination, they were attacked by a demon. It was a disaster, and the dead were many. For the second time in her life, Yeonhye was nearly counted among them. She was dragged to safety, however, though not without a cost.<br/><br/>Instead of being escorted to her new home and given a chance to settle in, she was rushed to a hospital. Instead of becoming oriented with her new job, she recovered. When she awoke in the hospital bed, the first thing she knew was that she felt different. When she looked at herself, she saw why. Her left arm from the elbow down was now missing. Her reaction wasn't shock, or fright or even self-pity. It was frustration, she'd gone through this before and it seemed the tragedies of her life were now just repeating. However, when she was visited by her first guest, she was made aware that working for ADAMS did have its perks. They needed their research staff in one piece. While she had been out cold, they had fitted her with attachment points not only on her left arm, but also where her right leg had been, so that she could now attach prosthetics, to be as productive as she could be. She was also able to be fully mobile again for the first time since she was a child.<br/><br/>ADAMS gave her an arm and a leg, quite literally, to make sure she was able to work for them at her best. She has since done all she could to live up to that potential, and to repay her debt. Now, she has not only the desire to rid the world of demons motivating her, but a sense of loyalty to the organization that restored her body to whole. She began as an intern, but worked her way into a paying job the moment she was able. In the time she's been working for ADAMS, she has undergone basic combat training and learned to defend herself with small arms such as pistols, as well as basic hand-to-hand combat, and also has advanced knowledge of many of the latest anti-demon weapons cooked up by R&amp;D. That said, she is a scientist, not a soldier, and thus prefers to stay away from direct combat if at all possible.<br/><br/><strong>EMPLOYEE HISTORY</strong>: Yeonhye began as an intern with ADAMS, working in the R&amp;D department while furthering her education. When she was qualified for a paying job, she took one instantly. She has been a rather permanent fixture in the division since her arrival and has been noted as extremely enthusiastic about her work, specializing in the study of demons, as well as its practical application in the form of weapons and defensive measures.<br/><br/><strong>PSYCHOLOGICAL NOTES</strong>: Yeonhye is not antisocial, but also has a tendency to be withdrawn, and focuses on her work a the expense of a social life. She is also still occasionally plagued by nightmares of traumatic events of her childhood, though these do not seem to spill over to her work, apart from the occasional lack of sleep. She is also extremely loyal to ADAMS and responds poorly to those who speak badly of it. She likewise harbors an extreme hatred of demons. While this is not an unusual trait, given the state of the world, she does seem to hold a bit more hatred than most, and considers even the hypothetical idea of ever reasoning with demons to be insanity. This runs counter to the very selfless nature she has towards her fellow humans. She is also known to suffer phantom pains when her prosthetics are detached. <br/><br/>She is also known to drink heavily, but NEVER when she has work to do. Conversely, she has a habit of smoking cigarettes when under heavy stress from work, but tries to stick to nicotine patches when she can help it. Incidentally, she is also somewhat of a health nut and a vegetarian, avoiding junk food for the most part, although she does have a sweet tooth, she tries to avoid indulging it whenever she can.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Afia Durrani: Grigori Pilot</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Misc Comments</strong>: I would love to see her come into conflict with the demon that attacked her town. Apart from that I'm uncertain of what to do with her. She's a transgender lesbian, which is certainly a new experience for me, so I'm just going to enjoy seeing where a character like that goes. <br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>FILE NUMBER</strong>:<br/><strong>CLASSIFICATION</strong>: Grigori Pilot<br/><strong>DEPARTMENT</strong>: Administration, the Grigori Program<br/><strong>WAVE DESIGNATION</strong>: Third Wave<br/><strong>CALL SIGN</strong>:<br/> <br/><strong>NAME</strong>: Afia Durrani<br/><strong>DOB</strong>: January 27 2079<br/><strong>BLOOD TYPE</strong>: B positive<br/><strong>HEIGHT</strong>: 173 cm<br/><strong>WEIGHT</strong>: 64 kg<br/><strong>EYE COLOR</strong>: Green<br/><strong>HAIR COLOR</strong>: Black<br/><strong>RACIAL ORIGIN</strong>: White<br/><strong>ETHNICITY</strong>: Pashtun<br/><strong>CITIZENSHIP</strong>: Asian Union<br/><strong>LANGUAGE FLUENCY</strong>: Pashto, Dari, Arabic, English<br/> <br/><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Born Arman Durrani into the conservative culture of Afghanistan, though, thankfully a relatively liberal family. She nonetheless had a hard time as a child, being forced to live as a male despite hating her own body. Still, life was harsh for everyone in her homeland. The Middle-East was a politically unstable region before the demons attacked, afterwards... well, hell on earth wouldn't be an inaccurate way to describe it. Though her family did what they could to protect her from the harshness of the world, to protect her from the threat of both demons and judgmental men; violence and the struggle to survive was a part of her life from day one.<br/> <br/>Her parents tried to teach her one thing above all else. To hold on to her morals, to never compromise her sense of ethics, no matter how desperate life may turn out. She learned to shoot a gun as soon as she was old enough to pick one up. She learned knife fighting as well as hand-to-hand combat. Her father was the leader of the local militia, armed with defending the town from demon and human alike. Of course, it stood without saying that little militia would do little to stop a full demon attack, but its all the town had, with the political chaos of the region, the Asian Union and ADAMS were spread thin in the region trying to quell the various internal squabbles, let alone dealing with demon attacks.<br/> <br/>Though the external elements of her early life were harsh, she always felt it was at least something one could confront head on. Someone or something attacks you, you fight it, and if you live you live, and if you die, you die. To her, the hardest part was her internal conflict. She always struggled with her own sense of personal identity. While she was born as a boy, she never quite felt right with it. Her family was, perhaps, more supportive of her than others would have been, but still did not understand what she was going through.<br/> <br/>Unfortunately for her, the life she was born into wasn't one that was very conducive to soul searching. Combat was something that became routine to her even as a child. The concept of a child soldier was simply alien to her as it was unimaginable for a child to have a life that didn't involve war, it was simply the default state of the world for her. Though by most definitions, enlisted into the town militia at the age of 12, that's what she was. Her internal struggles were shoved aside while she focused on survival.<br/> <br/>However, that part of her life came to an end in the way all those who lived in her town feared it would. A demon attack happened, and the militia was powerless to stop it. Many fell fighting, and many ran in fear. Afia was prepared to do the former, she was ready to fight to the death. However, as their defensive line broke, her father knew the battle was lost. He grabbed his child's gun and forced her to take her mother and flee. Reluctantly, she did so, and the last she saw of her home was it being swallowed by death. The gunfire gradually began to cease, drowned out by the cries of the dying and the sound of the demonspawn swarming the place.<br/> <br/>She managed to flee with her mother, committing the large demon the spawn had been following to her memory, swearing that one day, somehow, she'd be the one to kill the monster that took her home. She managed to flee with her mother to a refugee camp. She found ADAMS personnel there and insisted to be taken in as a Grigori pilot. Testing proved that she had naturally high synchronization rate of 15%, and so she was drafted in. Needless to say, she didn't complain.  She found a difficult cultural transition ahead of her, but she was intent on doing what needed to be done, both for her vengeance and for her mother.<br/><br/><strong>TRAINING AND PILOTING HISTORY</strong>: It was a hard life at first, going through training, and at the same time, realizing things she'd never had time to realize before. Her exposure to this new culture, a life where she wasn't always at risk of death at a moments notice... well, at least not as much of a risk, gave her time and clarity to realize who she was. She consulted her mother about this, who truly did not understand, but, not wishing to lose the last bit of family she had, gave Afia her blessings and her love. With that, she changed her name to Afia, and began the long and arduous process of transitioning into a woman.<br/> <br/>During this time, though, her greatest concern was still providing for her mother, which thankfully became easier after she finished her pilot training. She quickly gained a reputation for her brazen disregard for her own safety, which earned her some trouble with her superiors. Still, she also managed to earn a reputation for her skill and effectiveness in dealing with demonspawn as well. She was also noted for having skill in both Grigori piloting as well as combat on foot, when needed, skills she picked up from her childhood.<br/> <br/>It has been difficult for her to adjust to this new life, with many things changing for her all at once. All the same, she's proven she's good at her job, and despite her recklessness, seems intent on only improving her abilities.<br/> <br/><strong>PILOTING CLEARANCE</strong>: Unit 01-Samyaza and Unit 03-Sariel<br/><strong>SYNCHRONIZATION HISTORY</strong>: Afia had a natural synchronization rating of 15%. The highest synchronization rating she has ever achieved during combat was at 38%. Her average synchronization rating is 33%. <br/> <br/><strong>FIDELITY HISTORY</strong>:<br/> <br/><strong>PUBLIC RELATIONS INVOLVEMENT</strong>: Minimal.<br/> <br/><strong>PSYCHOLOGICAL NOTES</strong>: Afia has two notable additions, caffeine and nicotine. She is an avid coffee drinker, and can be notably anti-social and quick to frustration when she goes with out her daily cup. She is also a cigar smoker, with a particular love for high-quality cigars.<br/> <br/>She is a Muslim, and thus abstains from alcohol, however. And likewise observes halal traditions concerning the preparation and content of her meals. She initially displayed some emotional conflict over her religious beliefs clashing with her desire to transition, though she has since seemed to reconcile the two and appears at peace with her gender and religion. Though she has a relatively liberal interpretation of the Quran, she still takes pride in her religion and culture, and responds poorly to people mocking either of them.<br/> <br/>She seems to have little regard for her own safety in combat. She does not appear suicidal or even willing to risk her life pointlessly, however she does seem to prioritize her objectives over her safety to an extreme extent.</div></div>
