A pistol sized crossbow that fires small bolts
And one of her more personal inventions, a compact, steam powered grappling hook. A small canister of steam is carried on her waste that connects the the arm mounted unit on her right arm. A claw is shot forward with a burst of steam and clamps down on whatever surface it connects with. Then a small winch hoists the user torwards the claw. With a squeeze of the hand, the claw will release its grip. Karin uses this little invention of hers to get around the rooftops at a much faster rate. Though as it is a home grown invention, it works.... most of the time....
Abilities:
Agility is her strength, allowing her to climb up buildings and jump between rooftops.
Ingenuity is her mental strength, often being able to solve any practical problem with ease.
Brief Backstory:
Karin isn't one to talk about her childhood, not even with her closer friends. All one is able to get out of her is that her parents are still alive. Her later life though she'll tell a beggar on the street if she felt like it. She began as a regular courier for a middle class merchant, running documents and goods around the city for very small sums of money. She took to using the rooftops as they always provided a faster, more direct route to her destinations. One night she was running some finicial documents from one merchant to his guild when she quiet literally ran into a thief. The thief had been trying to find her to intercept the documents and as fate would have it, he was scanning the streets from the rooftops when he ran into her. He was much older than Karin at the time, when was in her late teens, and simply demanded the document, as a thief is no murder.
"Young lady! I demand you hand me over the papers you are currently carrying!" he exclaimed, holding out his hand
"How much do you got?" Karin replied flatly. The thief huffed and dug into his pockets for a few moments then produce a handful of coins. Her eyes widened. "THAT'S how much you make! Damn I'm in the wrong profession!"
The thief, amused by Karin's reaction, decided to show her the underbelly of the city. A few years later, she's making many times more than she did carrying legal goods, and despite a few "confrontations" doesn't have plans on stopping.
