Seeing the wolves, massive scraggy beasts that they were, Eve let out a soft; "They're gorgeous," but the grin that stretched across her face had a hard sharp edge to it. Stretching for the sky, she sighed, "Let's get this over with."
Admittedly Eve wasn't really a fighter, sure she could throw a punch, and not a bad one at that, but fighting itself wasn't her forte. Placing herself next to Zo, far enough to give him space, but close enough that if it all went to hell he could cover for her, Eve settled into a lose fighting stance, ready to bash some wolf heads, and idly wondering weather the dragon would be able to be any help.
Eve scowled as she heard the alarms, she'd been gunning for a nice snooze after her long day of being holed up on a scrappy bus. Watching Zo, she let the corners of her mouth tug up in a small grin, right up until what Gem said had hit her, they would have to fight with their powers. She didn't know how to fight with a 'not so imaginary friend' …sure it was a dragon, but only just the size of a kitten. It was the sort of thing you 'awwwed' over, not ran away from screaming in fear. Biting her lip she nodded in response to Zo's question, wondering what she could do to fight, but ready to try anyway.
Blinking in surprise at the party invite, she accepted, hoping she didn't just sign her death warrant. Finally in an attempt to calm her racing thoughts, she pulled a pair of almost-elbow-length, deep purple, fingerless gloves out of seperate pockets and tugged them on, cracking her knuckles and grinning, "Lets do this."
Maybe if you can't get quite enough people, you could get everyone to have two characters in different teams, filling out numbers, and making it so that when someone dies they aren't left with nothing. Just a thought.
Sexuality: Unsure. She's not really interested in people that way. Although she likes to joke that she's attracted to Jaegers (she's fairly sure she's joking there).
Relationship status: Single
Government agency representing: Australia
Job: Jaeger Engineer/mechanic, with the hope of one day being a Jaeger Pilot
Description: A little on the short side Ali actually wears a pair of semi-built up military boots. She has pale skin and short dark hair, midnight eyes that dominate her face, and can always be found wearing an oversized pair of headphones.
Personality: Quirky and optimistic, Ali isn't someone you'd expect to see in an army base, due to both her age, and her almost-innocence. She's seen some pretty nasty stuff, what with living in Aussie through quite a few Kaiju attacks, but she still generally seems to have this amazing love for the world. Jaeger obsessed, she loves tinkering and building and could talk your ear off given half a chance. Seeming to always be in constant movement, Ali cannot seem to stay still, she's hyper enough that the nickname 'puppy' isn't really suprising.
History: Growing up during the kaiju wars, in Australia no less, Ali has seen her fair share or terror and destruction thanks to giant rampaging aliens. She spent most of her childhood in and around Jaegers 'helping' Sara, her biological aunt and mother figure, with the construction and maintenance of the Australian Jaegers. Living in the Australian Shatterdome was an interesting time, she was one of the only children on base, and it could be really really lonely. In 2024 when she was nine, the Australian shatterdome was closed down in favor of the wall project, her grandfather, Jed, Jaeger designer and mechanic, was sent with Striker Eureka to head her maintenance crew, and Ali was left in Aussie with no home and no Jaegers. She spent that year living in the countryside with Sara at the family's farm house where she tried to be a 'normal' girl.
After the war ended Jed came home, believing that the threat to earth wasn't over yet. So while other places round the world researched other things; solo piloting, better weapons, greater efficiency, ecctra , ecctrea, Sara and Jed started looking into ways to dual-core Jaegers, so that they could run digital, (it was generally more efficient), but be able to switch to analog if need be. Between going through her rebellious stage, (they threatened her with not being able to help with Jaegers when she was naughty) and actually attending school, (Boring as hell and not enough on the schematics of Jaegers) Ali also helped out. Currently Dual Core's work up to a point. It is possible to wire them up so either can be working, but switching requires a complete semi-manual reboot.
She made a few friends at school, and spent the years as normal as one can while video chatting with engineers round the world and building Jaegers in the back yard.
At eighteen Ali, and Sara, were 'conscripted' as head mechanics for the Australian Jaegers and sent to London. She's currently working on her own style of Jaeger, trying a different angle, better balance, more stability, greater speed and agility, if it works.
Jaeger Classifications: Anything below a Mark 5 is drift required, A few Mark 6's are drift compatible, with most being required. (Works better with a partner even if only compatible) Mark 7's are all drift compatible but not required, and anything classified as a Mark 8 or up is Solo, with the occasional drift compatibility.

Eve blinked, only the slightest bit shocked at the food reappearing. Paying no attention to the dragon as it clambered on top of her head, she stared at Gem, not that that helped her comprehend anything. "So what now then?" She asked, "Are you offering to teach us how to use these powers? Can you do that? I assume you didn't summon us here simply to tell us the gem gives us powers, most of them seemed to have that figured out already. So. What are we here for?" Finishing her minor tirade, she shrugged, it seemed to be becoming her favorite visual cue, and reached for some of the food.
