SepName: Katrina Blut
Callsign: Bloody Bucket, BB for short
"Look, somebody has to clean up the rest of the guy who used to pilot the salvage. So grab the steam cleaner and help me get the mashed kidney out of the seat, or shut up and let me work!"
Appearance:
Kat spent most of her life fighting or farming, being the personification of ‘swords to plowshares’. Her body is the ideal build for working machines, being rather small, able to fit and reach where she needs to during maintenance. As far as fitness goes, she is strong enough to tighten all of the screws she needs to and move around canisters of POL, but won’t be knocking the lights out of anyone without the assistance of a big wrench.
Her face seems worn out by her years, a bit rugged and wrinkled. Katrina dyes her hair a silver color and if you combine the two she looks older than she actually is. She wears quite a short cut to fit under a helmet, with her hair barely reaching under her ears. The woman’s dark green eyes contrast with her skin and fair hair.
While in action she wears a combat jumpsuit of black color, made with protective padding and plates, as well as a helmet with tactical visor. On the dropship she changes to orange engineering overalls. In her downtime she prefers comfortable clothing, like sneakers and sweatpants.
Age: 49
Origin:
Katrina comes from the ‘western’ border of Rasalhague, one of the worlds that the Lyran Commonwealth ceded to the new power. Hence, she lacks the ‘space wiking’ heritage.
Personality:
The wrench wench. Everything in Kat’s world has an analogy in something mechanical, and if you want to explain something to her, that is your best approach. She can use mechanical terms even to describe growing crops. Her head is good for technical stuff and little else. It does her well in card games though, which are her favorite pastime other than ‘more work’.
She is a little bit worse off as far as common sense goes, coming off as a bit dense in general, day-to-day business, and with her enthusiasm about any given piece of tech a bit as an overgrown kid that loves legos.
She is friendly enough not to care that she’s one of the oldest of the crew, knowing she has actual experience behind her skills rather than maybe a fancy noble name. Kat doesn’t usually initiate conversations, most often too busy being elbow deep in grease, but if one finds her with anything, she will not shy away and talk or help.
History:
As a farm girl, Kat was no stranger to manual labor from the get go. However, the tools and especially the agri'mech always attracted her attention more than the soil or the crops. She was able to disassemble the engine for maintenance and put it back together in working order at the age of 16. It came to no surprise that her teachers recommended her for a technical university.
Unfortunately for her, the only university that didn’t require her to pay tuition fees her parents simply didn’t have was the military academy, so she had to sign up for service after completing her degree. She has qualified as a mech'warrior, and was a part of a Valkyrie lance, removing the occasional issue with long range missile salvo.
Until one day, the problem turned out to be a mercenary piloting a Highlander. That battle sent her out of the cockpit for two reasons - One of her legs was rather badly injured, and her Valkyrie was stomped flat. She returned to her roots, requesting a reassignment to the engineering corps, where she expected to spend the rest of her career as a commander of an Oppie. With the recent rise of the state sponsored mercenary groups though, she decided to adventure some more while her health allowed it, whether she be put into a 'Mech again or as an engineer.
Skills:
Gunery: 4
Piloting: 2
Guts: 6 2 - Permanently lowered due to leg injury
Tactics: 4
Abilities:
TBD
Misc:
- She walks with a limp, and can be seen taking painkillers form time to time
- Voice actor: Michelle Forbes (Helena Cain, Battlestar Galactica 2003)
