Kumbaris — Roleplayer Guild

Name: Putri Perjaya Kusuma
Gender: Female, Bisexual.
Affiliation: Halim Defense Forces, formerly Indonesian Air Force Squadron Leader.
Picture:

Background: A Chinese Indonesian. Putri grew up and saw how her once great country has fallen off the world stage. Performing multiple combat missions during the war against China with her Trusty IF-21, she leads her squadron on multiple missions, many of them victories, and many more defeats. One of the many staff members ordered to evacuate to Kalimantan following the country's defeat, she instead decided that staying on the Capital would be fruitful, thus she joined the Halim Defense Forces, and her squadron of pretty old, but still reliable multirole fighter jets is a major unknown force that could decide future battles should the current status quo be disrupted.

She detests the Armed Forces Movement, The Islamic States of Java and Sumatra, and the FPI. Proud of her heritage and gender identity, she routinely acts as a liaison between the Halim Defense Forces, The Student Council, and Jakarta Protection Forces. As for her weapons, she usually carry a standard issue SS-13 Assault Rifle, modified with colouring and other gadgetry to suit the needs of her new circumstances, a custom made pistol of unknown origin, and a sword.

She also has a girlfriend, but she is noticeably tight lipped about who she is, where she is, and what nationality she is. A generally well spoken individual who likes working together with other people, most people don't know that she is a former Air Force pilot, not expecting to see a woman of her appearance, sexuality, and personality to be flying fighter jets.

Note: Don't underestimate her physical strength, being part of the TNI AU means that she is biomodified, her muscle density is genetically altered to suit the demanding needs of flying a multirole fighter jet, and she regularly does physical training whenever she has free time.

Putri will be a sort of 'guide' for the other Characters, she can accompany you on quests, agree or disagree to join on quests, and can give quests herself (and join it if she wants to). She has her own biases an prejudices against certain groups. You wouldn't want to be on her bad side. Still, this city might force you to fight against her.

You can never know what this city might force you to do, Jakarta's one predictable thing is it's unpredictability.

[  GENDER  ]
Female

[  COMMUNICATOR OF  ]
Scathach

[  MYTHOLOGY OF (YOUR GOD)  ]
Scathach is a mystery, technically a goddess and a major figure in the Ulster Cycle, her most notable achivement revolves around teaching Cú Chulainn and giving him the Gae Bolg, the infamous spear that he wields. A shadowy figure in Celtic Mythology and not the most well known deity in the Celtic Pantheon, her lack of recognition is more than compensated by the fact that her skills in magic spells and combat are legendary, communicators of Scathach are generally regarded as Great Assassins throughout history, although some are warriors, as is the case with this current communicator and Cu Chulainn

[  APPEARANCE  ]

[  PHYSIQUE  ]
As a former Soldier of the French Hussards. Marinette is built like a Soldier, muscular, well rounded, not necessarily the strongest woman in the world, but strong enough to overpower most men in a fight, blue eyes and blonde hair, most men who tried harassing Marinette usually ended up on a trip to the hospital, and the ones that don't usually needed a couple days' rest due to the bruises inflicted by her. She doesn't like showing her strength though, preferring to wear clothes that conceal her physique so that no one notices her muscles underneath.

[  HEIGHT / WEIGHT  ]
164 Centimeters/ 76 Kg

[  PERSONALITY  ]

[  PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION ]
Not a woman of many words. Marinette generally likes to keep to herself. Years of serving in the French Army gave her a much more analytical personality, able to assess a situation at hand and devise appropriate solutions to deal with the problem. While this generally works for her favour during her time in Chad or Afghanistan, back in her home city of Aix-en-Provence, it gave her a rather distant personality, if a bit robotic some may dare say. Still, she is a lovable woman if you can crack that initial layer, she loves eating at the various restaurants that dot her hometown, a big fan of long drives across the French countryside, and most of all, interested meeting about new cultures and peoples, part of being a Communicator of Scathach she guesses.

[  LIKES / DISLIKES  ]
Likes: Discussion on Mythology, specifically Celtic Mythology, discussions on various fighting techniques, any good food, meeting new people, traveling to new places, long (for European standards) drives, Anime and Manga

Dislikes: Unsolvable problems, the feeling of frustration, short range weapons, rotten fish, pole vaulting

[  BIOGRAPHY  ]

[  Place of Origin ]
Aix-en-Provence, Provence, France.

[  BIO ]

How Marinette became the Communicator of Scathach is a bizarre story by any standard. Being known as the "Shadowy One", Scathach likes to make her methods be seen as mysterious as possible when choosing a Communicator. But, to start off, Marinette was born to relatively loving and well off parents in the City of Aix-en-Provence, a typical city in the South of France. She grew up relatively okay with no significant problems that impacted her wellness, but, when she turned 18. She suddenly garnered a sudden interest in joining the Army, a move that received backlash from her parents, but they nonetheless supported her decision when push came to shove.

She joined the Army, part of the French recon infantry, or the Hussards, she excelled at her job, doing tours in Chad, Mali, Afghanistan and even back home, during Operation Sentinelle. By any other metric a good soldier, she cannot shake the fact that she constantly sees a Red Haired woman watching over her. During one particularly intense Firefight in Afghanistan, she sees a Red Haired woman looking at her, her eyes seemingly interested in seeing what she would do next. her actions afterwards garnered Marinette several medals for bravery.

When she told her comrades about the event, they only shook it off as hallucinations in the heat of the battle, still, she sees that Red Haired Woman everywhere, watching what she’s doing, she doesn’t seem like a threat, more of an interested observer really.

Once she was discharged, the first figure that she met outside of her parents and closest friends was that woman. She offered her a job of being a ‘Communicator’, and promises ‘A life free of economic hardships for yourself and your family.’ Little did she know, but when she accepted the job, her post soldier life changed drastically. She did a little chanting, and small Celtic rituals, and when she’s done, she felt a sudden urge of power, and the Red Haired woman smiled at her.

‘Good.’ She says, ‘Meet me at the City Gym on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.’

It’s bizarre for anyone looking from the outside, in one sense, she is still the same Marinette. She still loves her parents, she still likes the hobbies that she had when she was a child, and she still maintains contact with her school friends, occasionally hanging out whenever possible. But that encounter with that strange, Red Haired woman also added something. A certain edge nobody thought Marinette was capable of having, sure, she can seem sweet to her loved ones, but she knows multiple ways to kill a person, something that cannot be simply explained by her army training. Only focused training with someone else explains her sudden ability jump.

Still, she lives in her own house now. Has a stable job at a local café, and seems to be reintegrating back to society well enough. Surely there's nothing interesting that will come up in the future for her, right?

[  REASON FOR CHOICE ]

Scathach saw Marinette's incredible potential, not really wanting to limit herself to Scottish girls and boys. She took the leap and took Marinette under her wing. She saw throughout her adolescence how she can hold herself up in a fight, while that's relatively important. What's more important to her is Marinette's ability to handle crises with a calmness only an Assassin possesses, her time training under her and in the army only solidified her belief in her, she doesn't know it, but she has the makings of a powerful assassin. One Scathach is more than happy to lend her power towards.

What is less well known is that, being not as well known as other Celtic figures, she probably has to search for Communicators herself, and probably stumbled unto Marinette by accident.

[  POWERS  ]

[ RELICS / FAMILIARS ]
A Red Spear: A spear coloured dark red that was given to her by the Red Haired Woman after she was discharged from duty. She stressed that this is not the legendary spear of Gae Bolg, but noted that 'After he was gone, I have to make my own spear, he kinda took away the best weapon from me, so I have to make do with what's available.' Made by a fully metallic material from hilt to shaft. For any other person, it would be an incredibly heavy and unwieldy weapon, but Marinette can lift it just like some bundle of sticks.

An amulet: A weird amulet given to her from the Red Haired Woman, she never uses it, but she told her that it goes to a 'very dark place, where no one outside yourself can escape', Marinette is a bit creeped out by the description, and is not too keen on using the amulet anytime soon.

[ POWERS ]

Invisibility: A must have for a prospective Assassin, Marinette has the ability to completely turn invisible, and from all wavelengths to boot, she can only do this for roughly 30 minutes to an hour. But this ability can theoretically be trained to last for much longer.

Inhuman reaction time: Possessing a reaction time much, much faster than even special forces soldiers. This ability of Marinette allowed her to make quick decisions on the fly, this skill is especially useful in firefights.

Total silence: this is coupled with Invisibility can be incredibly powerful, using this skill means that every single sound Marinette makes, whether it's her talking, the step of her foot, even the rubbing of her skin on her clothes, are completely silenced. She has been able to walk up to people and spook them using this ability, and no one knows as to what other uses Marinette has utilized this ability for

[ INVOCATION ]

O powerful Shadowy One, I request your aid for this moment. Only with our strengths combined can we solve this current predicament. Heed my call O Shadowy One, for my travails for you have proven my body worthy to be your vessel.

Let our enemies tremble under Scathach's might!!!

Scathach's form completely overrides Marinette's appearance. Her clothing, her hair, even her face and eye colour. Unless you've already seen her transform, it would look like Scathach herself has descended into the battlefield.

Marinette would need intense medical treatment once Scathach has deemed Marinette is no longer in immediate danger. Such is the risk of invoking your deity.

[  OTHER INTERESTS/SKILLS ]
Anime and Manga: She is an avid Anime and Manga lover. Currently in what is called a 'rabbit-hole', she is highly interested in buying books and watching anime that interests her, with the Nasuverse Franchise being a current favourite.

Shooting: A natural outcrop from her being a soldier. She loves shooting guns and discovering new weapons that interest her. Although not too keen on buying guns herself, she is highly interested in trying out any gun that might fancy her.

Mythology: Perhaps it is due to her status as a communicator, but she consumes any form of media concerning mythology. Possessing an almost academic interest on the subject, she has been willing to read 30-50 page dissertations on the origins of various deities and legendary figures such as Zeus, Chu Chulainn, Amaterasu, and of course, Scathach.

[  MISC.  ]

[  BIRTHDAY / SIGN ]
12 June/Gemini

[  FAVORITES / LEAST FAVORITES ]
She stumbled on the anime series Fate/Stay Night during her vacation on Paris right after her discharge, and has fallen down the rabbit hole of collecting anything Nasuverse related. This includes figurines of Scathach.

She watches anime on the regular now, though she doesn't necessarily like other forms of Japanese popular entertainment.

Strangely enough, she's not a big fan of Short Ranged weapons, swords and shields and the like. Not something that interests her in particular, despite the fact that she is proficient with that red spear of hers.

She also doesn't like Pole-Vaulting, definitely a dislike that can be attributed to Scathach.

[  SEXUAL PREFERENCE ]
Straight, not interested in anyone currently

[  MUSIC/MOVIE/BOOK/GAME TYPE ]
She loves the Nasuverse series of Anime and Manga. Much to the confusion and stress of her patron deity. She also loves watching any well made French movies, something that fortunately corresponds with her French identity.

Her preference of songs is all over the place, she likes French and European EDM, Classical, and any American music that suits her tastes.
