Honest to a fault she doesn't pull her verbal punches, so if you ask her a question, ask it expecting the unvarnished truth. That being said, she can be amazingly kind and gentle with her patients and their families as well. Kind and unwaveringly loyal, she will defend those she trusts and cares for with her last breath, but once that trust is lost, earning it back will take an, almost, Herculean effort.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Growing up on Picon to a military family it was simply assumed from the time she could walk, that Cass would be military as well. This was an assumption she had no problem with, especially since the military complex would give her the means to go to medical school, and plenty of opportunity to become a practicing trauma surgeon. Her end goal was actually to, eventually, retire from the military and take up practice on Caprica but the Cylons ended that plan with their attacks on the colonies.<br/><br/>With a fleet on the run she finds herself not only with plenty of trauma's to repair but with a dwindling set of supply closets demanding she research and learn alternative, and sometimes ancient, techniques for surgeries to stretch what supplies they have for as long as possible.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/>Agility - 3<br/>Athletics - 3<br/>Awareness - 3<br/>*Notice -1<br/>Cunning - 4<br/>*Memory - 2<br/>Endurance - 3<br/>Fighting - 3<br/>Knowledge- 3<br/>Marksmanship - 2<br/>Medical - 4<br/>*Diagnosis - 1<br/>*Treat Injury - 2<br/>Persuasion - 3<br/>Reflexes - 3<br/>Status - 3<br/>Survival - 2<br/>*Forage - 1<br/>Warfare - 2<br/>Will - 3<br/>*Discipline - 1<br/><br/><strong>Flaws:</strong><br/><em>Addiction(minor):</em>When she gets stressed, Cass longs for a cigarette. She knows she should quit (and with the human fleet being on the run it's likely she'll have no choice sometime soon) but when the shit hits the fan she either needs a cigarette, or a surgery to focus and calm her nerves.<br/><br/><em>Fear:</em>Growing up on Picon, there were beaches everywhere and as a child she spent more time than she can quantify running those beaches and swimming in the massive ocean that surrounds Picon's only continent. Due to an accident when she was 10 however, she nearly drown and since then has had a crippling fear of bodies of water. She doesn't even like bathtubs if she can avoid them.<br/><br/><strong>Merits:</strong><br/><em>Eidetic Memory</em>She has nearly perfect recall of anything she has read or truly focused her attention on.<br/><br/><em>Miracle Hands:</em>Cass is an excellent surgeon, her hands never shake or tremble no matter how tired the rest of her body is.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Blondes/js1.jpg) (http://s980.photobucket.com/user/caela_ecub/media/Blondes/js1.jpg.html)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Hardison Parker<br/><strong>Age:</strong>24<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'9<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>134 lbs<br/><strong>Military Rank:</strong>E:3 - Specialist (FTL Maintenance)<br/><strong>Homeworld:</strong>Gemenon<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Hardison seems to be a slightly shy, mostly quiet young woman until you get to know her. Once she feels comfortable around someone that shy veneer cracks and an ebullient, optimistic, intelligent (though slightly naive and seeming to lack much in the way of "higher" education) with an intense interest in mechanic and how things work. The more intricate the mechanical system, the more intent she can become on it until she is able to tune out just about anything that doesn't physically jar her. As a friend she kind, compassionate, loyal, and brutally honest at times if she truly thinks she has something that someone she cares for<em>needs</em>to hear without sugarcoating.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Despite being born on Gemenon, Hardison (named after her father's father, despite her sex, when complications to her delivery resulted in her Mother losing the ability to bear more children) is anything but a religious fanatic. Her parents were always disappointed that she didn't show more fervor but, even as a child, she always had more interest in rebuilding any of the small (and increasingly large as she grew up) bit of machinery was either broken or just wearing out around their home. She'd go to Temple if forced to, but they quickly learned it was simply better to let her find time to worship in her own way and on her own terms...anything else was a battle they didn't want.<br/><br/>Hardison recognized early that she didn't truly fit in with most of Gemenese society and that if she truly wanted to get anywhere in life she was going to have to leave Gemenon. Since her family, like most Gemenese, weren't wealthy, that made her best bet the military. Already having an affinity with mechanics she focused on practical classes in her school to build on her natural talents and when she enlisted was found to already have a secure enough knowledge base (while she might have neglected studying things like music, great works of art, etc. she<em>hadn't</em>neglected studying things like basic viper schematics, and FTL drive designs) to be placed as an Apprentice with the FTL drive mechanic crew and had worked her way up to Specialist before the Cylon attack on the colonies.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/><br/>Agility - 3<br/><em>Zero-G</em>- 1<br/>Athletics - 3<br/>Awareness - 3<br/>Cunning - 3<br/><em>Logic</em>- 1<br/>Deception - 2<br/>Endurance - 3<br/>Fighting - 3<br/>Knowledge - 2<br/>Marksmanship - 3<br/>Mechanics - 4<br/><em>Repair</em>- 2<br/><em>Craft</em>- 1<br/>Reflexes - 2<br/>Status - 2<br/>Survivial - 2<br/><em>Orientation</em>- 1<br/>Warfare - 2<br/>Will - 3<br/><br/><strong>Merits:</strong><br/>- Tech-Head
