[quote=@Asher890] I have the new version of Cassiopeia done! Hopefully it's better received, lol. [hider= Cassiopeia Hovhannisyan] Name: Cassiopeia 'Cassia' Hovhannisyan Race: Middle Eastern Ethnicity: Ashkenazi Jew and Turkish Religion: Muslim Alignment: Chaotic Good Age: Twenty-six Personality: Cassiopeia is highly intelligent but she has a hard time expressing her feelings. She has become blasé about the dangers of the apocalypse. She likes her independence from others, and worries about getting to close. Cassia is confident in her abilities and sometimes gets a little cocky. She's very naturally sarcastic and quick to snap at stupid questions. Her vulgarity is off putting to some. Cassia is a sweet soul once you melt the ice around her heart. Her loyalty is one of her best qualities about her, another is her dependability. Description: Cassia is 6'0" and 166 pounds, she has a muscular build which is naturally strong. Cassiopeia's right shoulder has damage from a fight. Her body is a natural hourglass. She has pale green eyes except for the partial heterochromia in her left eye which causes a sliver of golden brown. Cassia is very beautiful but she 'suffers' from resting bitch face. Cassia has full lips with a prominent cupid's bow. Her eyebrows are thick but not unruly. She has a scar across her lower right jaw which was from a knife fight with a bandit. Cassia has many other scars, but the two more unique ones are a bullet mark in her shoulder blades and the slash across her ribs, both from a transaction gone wrong. Her thick hair is a pitch black that is naturally wavy... that is when she has hair. On impulse she'll cut it off. When her hair is down it is to her hips but she keeps it back in a braid most of the times. Cassia's complexion is a deeper olive (Type V) from her father's middle eastern origins. She has a tree tattoo on her full back which she got after winning a lucky game of Texas Hold'em with her friend. She plans on getting another if she can but that is unlikely. History: Cassia's mother and father died in the battle that ultimately brought Lasthope to existence. She grew up in Lasthope like most of the others her age did, as an orphan. Growing up without a secure parental figure, she didn't understand who she was or what she had come from. Natural curiosity caused to figure out lock picking, which she used to sate her curious nature. As Cassia grew up, she tried to be helpful in the settlement but never find quite found her place among them. When she turned eighteen, she told everyone goodbye and took off to find her own fortune. While on the road she met Parker, the leader of a (now dead) merc group. She joined the mercenaries in their travels, where she proved to be a formidable force. The group (nicknamed the Myrmidons) would often be paid to track people down or retrieve stolen goods. For the eight years Cassia made decent pay off of the group. Not to mention the useful skills she had picked up like: using weapons better and intimidation. A interested party made a sweet offer to stop attacks on a small settlement in Lebanon, Oregon. The group spent weeks traveling till they found tracks of the killers. While the pay off was big enough (an Ak47 for their group), she was nervous about how it'd turn out. They had underestimated the strength of the bandits, which ultimately led to the slaughter of almost all of their group. Cassia barely made it out alive after taking a bullet to the abdomen. Her teammate, Parker, managed to drag her out of the fight before she fell. To stop her from bleeding out, Parker sewed her up with surgical thread from a first aid kit he found while scavenging. From the lack of sanitary conditions, her wounds became infected. Parker had to travel to every medical center in the vicinity to try to find antibiotics. Parker managed to save her in the nick of time. It took nearly a month before Cassia could move around again. While Parker made his way towards their home base, Cassia decided to go against it. Cassiopeia had thought a lot while bedbound, about herself and about the future. She had her years of excitement... but now all she wants is some peace and quiet. What will happen when Cassiopeia finally makes it home? Profession: Scout. Skills: Guns, intimidation and lockpicking. Weapons: Crowbar and a bowie knife. Cassiopeia traded for these in a friendly settlement. Health conditions: Cassiopeia has a damaged shoulder, but she is able to fight well. [/hider] [/quote] Love the Enthusiasm and the story of her history but its out of line with Lasthope Her lockpicking skill would have been developed and fostered, it ain't a pretty world and locks guard treasure of some sort and Lasthope is stripping every useful tool or device and at least storing them for future use from the country surrounding them if none have a claim on it. At 18 Cassiopeia would have been civic guard basically training in her skill set as a Trooper intrusion specialist (Thief) every unit needs one, what if we find a big safe? Gun Safe? a Locksmith trained Lockpick an asset Intimidation is kind of a bully and the adults and Ms Candy didn't allow them in the creche but you could replace it with Taunt which is basiclly the ability to piss someone off in a fight so they act stupidly while you keep your cool. And while we all have practiced with Black Powder and Paper cartridge weapons we go for silent Want a Badass skill you'd get to practice more Pick Hand to Hand, Melee, Archery (Two Amazons in the expedition) or take Thrown which means tommahawks, knives big and really big nails; really of how heavy and how far Guns attract the Risen and we don't do that till we are ready to call them so practice limited by more than supplies
