UCHU KITAAAAAA
Name: Starla Stratos
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Race:
MadroneanHomeworld: Research Super Station over Banton V
Position: Gunner.
Personality: Actually rather feminine in personality, compared to most Madroneans, Starla still has an enjoyment of physical activity and controlled combat. In fact, she was a minor league Grav Ball player before she left to join the military. She could always just join the military's Grav Ball league. When not on the field, she likes to wear sundresses or moderately athletic clothing, though she wouldn't put on makeup unless she was attending a formal event. She's fairly relaxed, and enjoys sweets.
Appearance: The young lady of brown-blond hair is athletic and beautiful. Her eyes are a stunning, vibrant green, reminiscent of emerald, and she always wears a crystal on a cord around her neck. It's a soft, gold color, not unlike her hair.
Abilities: Skilled Grav Ball player, and a pretty good shot on a turret. She has a weird knack for artillery...
Equipment: Standard issue military stuff for a gunner, her crystal necklace, and a personal, modified Grav Ball mech suit. It's like an enhanced pilot suit, with boosters that are charged from an arena's surface.
Biography: Starla's mother was Madronean, and her father an Earthling professor. With the introduction to physical activity through combat, Starla found her love of physical activity, but she took to sports over martial arts. She really liked watching Grav Ball, and grew up wanting to play. Through school, she displayed an aptitude for the physical sciences, taking classes like wood and metal shop. She went to college to play her favorite sport, majoring in Physics and minoring in Mechanical Engineering. She built her own mech suit to play with, and that's the one she's brought with. She's been considering modifying it more, but any more might make it an league-illegal suit.
Grav Ball is a game played in an anti-gravity arena, often with floating spheres, or specks, in the middle to liven things up. Players want to get a ball from the middle of the field through the opponent's goal. You can only catch or throw if you are standing still or otherwise not modifying your momentum. You can be gliding through the air and catch and throw the ball. Grav Ball suits have boosters that are charged by standing on the arena's surface or by standing on a speck. These boosters allow players to modify their velocity while not magnetized to the arena's surface, but only last a short time. Players are free to kick or otherwise bump or strike the ball whenever.
