[Characters] Casting Call

[Aeternis]

Post the information you generated for your character here, along with a character sheet. A profiler campaign called "TheUnificationAgenda" (what do you know, that's the exact maximum length they allow and spaces are disallowed anyway), ID 216, has been created, add your sheets there as well.

I will put a link summary in this post as well so you don't always have to hunt for links to others' characters.

Player	Character
Aethera	Tory

[Aethera]

Name: Victoria "Tory" Agareva
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Class: Cavalier (Musketeer) / Monk (I combined the [class features] into one table.)
Concept: athletic tomboy pilot, sniper, and martial artist

 

Appearance: average height brown-haired militant, silver dragon tattoo on her back and motif on her belongings

 

Tory likes her options open, and so all of her clothing whether tactical or not is mobile above all else. Her past-shoulder-length dark brown hair is nearly always braided tightly out of her way down her back or even tucked up in a bun; it's a rare occasion when even her family or squad gets to see her hair down. She favors tight tops with short sleeves, and out of habit she usually wears all black. Her many-pocketed pants are usually canvas of varying weights, also black, and tucked into a pair of boots that are most definitely not the rigid army issue, though calf-high and laced similarly. The most notable feature of Tory is the silver dragon tattoo on her back, darker gray-blue wings spread across her shoulderblades out to the points of her shoulders, the blue-tinted silver tail curling snakelike down her spine to curl back on itself just above her tailbone. The same symbol is stylized as her personal mark on weapons or other personal belongings that don't have room for a full name or ID.

Her duty uniform consists primarily of a magically enhanced brown tunic belted over whatever she's wearing, with holsters at each hip clipped around her thighs to keep them from being in her way as she tumbles around as she is wont to do. (Weapons: pistols, plus sniper rifle on a cross-body strap.) Unlike her squad, however, she rarely wears armor, preferring mobility over expensive cloth, and takes magical protection instead. Her very mobility provides her with as much protection as light armor would.

Personality: sarcastic tomboy with straightforward attitude towards most things

 

The easiest word to describe Tory is "tomboy". Woe to you if you dare call her Vickie, you're likely to get a right hook before you know what hit you (bad pun, sorry). She barely tolerates her mother calling her Victoria, but her mother holds that she can use the given name of her only child, and Tory's smart enough not to argue the point with the only person more stubborn than she. Her mother might be slight, and definitely not up to Tory's physical strength, but Tory'd likely get an earful if she argued with her, just as she did as a child.

She wants to be physically fit, to the point of seeking out more complicated ways to batter her body, and it's not unknown for her to be wandering around with a bruise or three, especially on her arms from stick fighting, boxing, or other melee fight practice. Her vocabulary has grown from such practice, and she can swear as colorfully as any soldier. Her humor tends to be sarcastic and quick with a jest, but she's rather straightforward when dealing with most issues, and can argue as politely and calmly as most people discuss the weather (which usually means she can stick it out long enough to come to an agreement that favors her position), though she refers to it as "discussion", not "arguing".

Background: raised by single mom at Directorate base

 

Tory's mother Svetlana is a registered nurse on one of the Directorate bases nearest what was the Phernos Confederacy. The majority of the war had already been fought by the time Tory was born, moving into the "raiding" days of the struggle. 'Lana raised her daughter alone, first because Tory's father was away on "missions" (Tory never got a straight answer on what those missions were), and then because he was killed on one of those unspecified missions. About all she knows of her father is that he was killed by fiends (per her mother), and that her mother misses him at odd moments, even now.

Raised by her mother on a Directorate base, Tory was subjected to a fair amount of propaganda, even in how her mother described events. By the time she was thirteen she'd convinced her uncle (a weapons trainer on the same base) to start teaching her to protect herself. He taught her whatever weapon came to hand on a given day, and found a martial arts teacher for her when he saw her potential. Though the Directorate was disbanding Binder squads, Tory wanted to know how to fight the immortals that killed her father and caused her mother's depression. She was first in line the day the Directorate determined that a new squad needed forming.
