Name: Kathrine Vale
Alias: Kat, 'Red Devil'
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Occupation: Officially unemployed, but takes up Mercenary work when it strikes her fancy.
Residence: Luna Colony Praxis
Physical Description: Lanky, with an athletic swimmers build, Kat is fairly tall for a human woman, standing just shy of 6' tall, with aggressively red hair and purple eyes (eye color changing is all the rage on Luna.). Her right arm is a mechanical prosthetic.
Personality: Kat is an explorer at heart and a daredevil at that. She loves going into strange or unexplored areas just to see what's there, and to have fun getting there along the way. She's generally upbeat and optimistic, often using jokes to diffuse tense situations. She does, however, have a very strong fear of open space. In a ship, she's generally okay, but open spacewalks or anything not involving a pressurized hull around her terrify her to her core.
Equipment/Capabilities: 
Enviro-Tech Survival Suit
This modular, powered armor system is the best in class(or was, a few years ago) for all-purpose survival. Boasting a robust life support system, recharging energy shielding, an automatically activated distress beascon, and a user-friendly HUD as a base package, the armor can be upgraded or customized to at the users whimsy. Kat has had her own suit painted red, had the suit re-tuned to allow for bursts of increased strength or speed(not both at once),and added ports for charging various powered items, as well as a series of thrusters, allowing for increased movement speed and agility as well as an aid in jumping long or high distances. Lastly, she fitted a shoulder mounted micro-missile launcher, to help her deal with larger wildlife that she might encounter.
ZK-2 Energy Rifle
An old Terran favorite, the ZK-2 is a bullpup style energy rifle with energy cells that can be charged via solar energy or charged directly from a power source. a mid-range weapon, this trusty Rifle has seen many a planet and has a small cartoon Zoomer carved above the magazine well.
Survival knife
Rather self-explanatory, but Kat has always kept a knife on her person. Useful for cutting things or as a last-ditch self-defense tool.
Kat knows a fair bit of self-defense, though it's rudimentary and more for knowing what sorts of things can get her out of holds and binds.
History: A stereotypical child of Luna, Kat was always flighty and prone to wandering, but for Kat it was more than a tendency, it was something of an obsession. She spent days simply exploring caves and craters on Luna's dark side in her youth, and although she's never lost that drive to see more, it was an incident where she tore open her suit after a long fall on a strange planet that tempered her carefree nature. A broken arm and exposure to near open space left impressions on her, both physically and mentally. She's lived her life on the fringes of space, always looking for the next unknown. And Samus Aran, is perhaps the most unknown that could be right now.
