In truth, she is intensely goal orientated, working to achieve whatever tasks have been set for her with a dogged insistence that is part personality, part indoctrination. The core of the person buried beneath this is a surprisingly frivalous and light hearted young woman, she finds great joy in moments of whimsey, in contrast to the enforced severity of much of her life. [/hider] [hider=Biography] In the years leading up to the resource wars which so dominated the international relations of the Pre-War world, traditional enemies often found themselves more aligned, while new threats and old friends turned on each other. No example of this was more obvious than the USSR and USA, while even the founding nation of the Soviet bloc was still the subject of significant anti-communist propaganda, relations had normalised to the extent that trade and international travel between the two nations was commonplace. This is not to say the Great Game of Espionage between the original Cold War foes ever ended, especially as the relatively neutral USSR attempted to scale down the conflict between China and the USA. Based out of the Soviet Consulate in Los Angeles, the Soviet mission largely consisted of genuine diplomats but certainly had members of the KGB attached. These agents of espionage knew that the world was ending even before most of the relevant actors did, having access to both Chinese and American communications, and worked in the waning hours of the old world to secure their own survival and the continuation of the mission. Attempting to access or secure one of the Vaults within realistic travel distance of the Consulate was ruled out early on, a few members of the Consulate had already been added to the rosters for several nearby vaults and it was deemed an unacceptable risk to their own individual orders from command. Instead, as the first bombs began to fall, the Consulate forces siezed control of Griffith Observatory. Not an obvious shelter, the corporate espionage element of the agents had identified significant Vault Tech funding into the Science center, including secret improvements to the structure in preparation for the coming war. Whatever purpose Vault Tech intended for this, it was unprepared for the different threat of hostile takeover. With the building locked down, this small contingent of the Motherland survived the onslaught of the Great War upon American soil. It was from this exclave that Innessa would eventually be born, generations later. The community had remained loyal to the principles of the USSR and to the aim of furthering the Soviet cause and so successive generations were raised as such. Under the belief that the higher ranks of the group were still in some limited communication with the homeland and receiving orders, the fervour did not dim through the years. The Observatory was abandoned after the initial decades (eventually leading to its occupation years later by the NCR) with the target of securing greater strategic assets within the American wasteland. Many ‘agents’ would be sent out across the ruins of California, acting as independent cells. The main bulk of the Consulate eventually took over the isolated Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center near Twin Lakes and remained there through the long years of the post-war centuries. As the daughter of two successful field agents, Innessa was raised and trained for a similar role, learning much of the history of the distant Soviet motherland and that of America itself alongside more practical perperations for such a life. While Innessa had something of a rebellious streak, she was otherwise deemed one of the most promising recruits of her generation, and was already expected to take part in more local missions in her mid-teens. This is when she first adopted the Americanised version of her name, Kate Antony, for when it was preferable to not present as Russian, a strategy often used to spy on the major factions and settlements of post-war California. Innessa’s success as an agent of infiltration and espionage soon proved to bite the hand that fed it, however, as the young woman uncovered the great secret of the Consultate’s Inner Circle. If they had once been receiving true orders and commands from the Motherland, that time had long since past. The often costly actions agents had been sent out on for the intervening years were at best simply for their own power and at worst simply red herrings to present the idea there was still some great wider aim. Still, loyal to her friends and family if not their leaders, rather than reveal this, Innessa simply left, abandoning her post on her next mission. Her plan now, is to make the great journey across the ocean, to find what has become of the homeland she has never truly seen, the journey to the Aloha islands a stop on this mammoth task. [/hider] [hider=Equipment] Weapon: Circuitbreaker Pulse Gun: Experimental weapon designed just before the Great War intended as a counter to power armour. Uses energy cells as ammunition. Apparel: Innessa travels with quite a variety of clothing suitable to various situations and covers, when expecting action she has an armoured jumpsuit of Soviet styling. Aid: 5x Stimpack, 5x Radaway, 5x Mentats, 5x Jet. Innessa usually travels with a modest amount of caps she has earned via work (or simply stolen) over the course of her travels, but she has likely spent most of it for passage to the Aloha Islands. She also prefers to travel with snacks, but as they're often eaten somewhat rapidly I have not included them here. [/hider] [/hider]
