Oh man, I cannot wait to see where this goes.
I meant that she wanted to hide her gender when she first came to The Zone, but it was kind of a futile effort because a) she's tiny, and b) providing any effective medical treatment would require her to take off her mask and physically interact with someone, at which point the jig would be up. She's pretty ambiguous from a distance, but essentially, most stalkers can tell she's a female without having to do too much digging. For what it's worth, she doesn't like to introduce herself to most people. Is that cool?
Name: Aynur Serikov
Alias: Sister
Nationality: Kazakh
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Physique/Appearance/Clothing:
Weighing 100 lbs. on a good day and standing only 5’3” tall, Aynur tends to hear the word “scrawny” a lot. She wears loose-fitting cargo pants tucked into boots, an oversized goretex parka, and a black face mask that she usually keeps pulled up over her mouth and nose. Most of her clothing was initially chosen in part to hide her gender, but her diminutive stature and the large, doe-like hazel eyes that peek over her mask tend to give her away. She keeps her unruly, dark brown hair out of her face with a jewelled clip, which she never lets out of her sight and normally keeps hidden beneath the hood of her parka.
Spoken Languages: She’s fluent in Kazakh and Russian, but only knows a handful of words in English.
Faction: Aynur has striven to remain completely neutral throughout her time in The Zone, and so had little to do with Freedom or Duty -- or any of the other factions, for that matter -- until very recently. Over the past year, the increasingly friendly relationship between Freedom and Duty has presented her with the opportunity to provide medical support to both factions on several separate occasions. Thanks to this, she has been able to form ties with them both, tentative though they may be.
Reputation: Though she's not necessarily well known, being easy to get along with and quite medically adept has put Aynur in most people's good books. Among those that do know her, she is generally seen as shy and compassionate, which works in her favor in some cases and against her in others. She is in good standing with the traders and medics aligned with both Freedom and Duty, thanks in part to her refusal to take sides in any disputes between the two factions, and has been able to swing the occasional discount in the past.
Weapons/Ammo: AK-105, loaded with a full 30-round magazine, with an additional full mag kept in an easy-access pocket on her pack.
Gear:
Skills:
Agile - Thanks to her quick feet and reflexes, Aynur is a master of evasion -- in physical situations as well as social ones.
Healer - Talent, experience, and a cool head under pressure make Aynur a damn good medic.
Charitable - Aynur will gladly give her time and attention, and often much more, completely free of charge.
Keen Eye - Even in times of high stress, Aynur can usually assess a situation and determine the appropriate course of action very quickly. This also makes her hard to swindle.
Songbird - Aynur has a beautiful singing voice, but only a select few have heard it, or ever will. She only sings in private, or when it’s the only thing she has left to comfort a patient.
Anatomy Pro - Thanks to extensive study prior to entering The Zone, and the experience she’s gained as a stalker, Aynur has a pretty intimate knowledge of the human body and its workings.
Diplomat - Her strict policy of not taking sides in any dispute makes Aynur a natural mediator, though she often goes to such lengths to avoid conflict that this talent rarely shines through.
Run, Sister, Run - She’s fast.
Weaknesses:
Gun-Shy - While not a terrible shot, Aynur’s intense dislike for guns -- particularly when using one on another human being -- puts her only a few notches above useless in a firefight.
Paranoid - Aynur’s happy to help others without getting anything in return, but try to do the same for her and she’s convinced you’ll use it against her later. See also: trust issues.
At Arm’s Length - No, Aynur does not want to be your friend. In her eyes, it’s much better to never love in the first place than to love and lose.
Weakling - Physically overpowering Aynur would be about as difficult as bagging up a newborn kitten.

Can someone tell me a little bit about the Wish Granter? I'd like to work it into my character history, as a minor/hidden motivation for having stayed in The Zone (like, she wants to "restore something that was lost", ooooh cliché mysterious). Is it still a part of the lore at this point? Does it even exist anymore?
I have looked it up on the wiki and all that, so I get that it's not exactly legitimate; I'm not planning on making this into some personal quest, more like a whisper of a possibility that's kept her around, among other things.

Yes! I should have my CS up by tomorrow as well. I was wondering about medkits - is there a set list of items in each one? Will other medical supplies exist within The Zone, aside from the various medkits, bandages, and anti-rad meds? (Am I over thinking this?)
I'm interested, but I'm totally unfamiliar with the games, so I'm gonna do some research and play Lost Alpha a bit before I commit.
I would more than likely be playing a female, so I have a few questions there. Would a woman have to be able to physically hold her own against men in order to survive in the Zone, or would survival skills + luck (+ good allies) be enough? I'm thinking a medic who's quick on her feet, but not a badass by any means.

I'd love to get in on this, as long as there's still room. I'll get to work on a CS (planning on making a Key).
