Psychological Characteristics

Personality:
Haruhi is very much someone whose respect needs to be earned through her own experience. Even those superior in rank to her are not exempt from this unless their reputation precedes them, and even then her respect would be grudging at best until she gets to know them and their abilities for herself. Beyond this she is mostly unconcerned with things that don't affect herself or her job but quite aggressive with things that do. Prone to ‘extreme exaggerations of the truth' and outright lying, though in most cases her claims are so outrageous to be immediately seen for what they are and she is completely unfazed when confronted. Takes her job as an armourer seriously, to the point where it has been known for crewmembers to be hesitant about ditching their equipment on a mission, whatever the circumstances may be, for fear of facing her wrath when – or if – they manage to return. Enjoys relaxing, especially while on the job.

Likes: ‘Relaxing', her job, green tea.
Dislikes: Interference with her work, bureaucracy.
Goals: To become a successful black-market arms smuggler. Usotsuki...


History

Early YE 26 saw the emergence of Haruhi into the universe; pulled out of the blue bag she had left the WickedArms Industries factory of her creation in, the Nekovalkyrja came to life aboard the Irim-class gunship that would be her home for the next nineteen months. Since the Irim she found herself on was just a regular warship, the newborn NH-17's training was carried out in a fashion unlike that which she would have received had she attended the academy; acquiring skills as she needed them to perform various jobs around the ship, Haruhi was immediately able to apply any downloaded knowledge to the practical, real-world problems of day to day life aboard a starship. Ensuring that the young Neko was proficient in everything required of a soldier of the Star Army – albeit in their own way – the Irim's crew raised her with a mixture of parental pride and respect due a fellow crewmember. Specialising in the armourer occupation to help oversee the ships 35,000 LAMIA and their assorted equipment Haruhi bloomed into the role, quickly becoming adept at requisitioning and maintenance.

In late YE 27 a confrontation with SMX forces saw the Irim badly crippled and a large number of its crew killed or injured; the gunship was scrapped as unsalvageable and it's crewmembers were reassigned to other ships throughout the fleet. Haruhi was snapped up by another Irim gunship in need of an armourer and served there until a reshuffle in mid YE 28, at which time she was also promoted to the warrant officer rank of Santô Juni after having climbed her way through the enlisted ranks.

Early YE 29 has seen Haruhi upgrade from an NH-17 to the new NH-29 body as part of a program to phase out the earlier models, while her occupation was changed from Armoury, Storage and Supply to that of Technician due to restructuring. With no inclination towards the new responsibilities this latest change bestows upon her, Haruhi intends to ignore them and go about doing what she does best to the fullest of her abilities.


Skills

Communication: Haruhi is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, starships, power armour, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Haruhi is fluent in English and Japanese, and can communicate through telepathy. She can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.

Demolitions: As part of her initial training as an armourer, Haruhi received knowledge and conducted practical exercises in the identification, handling, manufacture and disposal of a wide variety of explosives. While opportunities to put these skills to use in the field have been few and far between Haruhi, still retains what she was taught.

Fighting: Having spent the vast majority of her life aboard starships, Haruhi is at her best when fighting in the cramped, maze-like conditions found within. Trained in hand-to-hand and close-quarters combat, she is skilled and experienced in combat both in starship interior conditions and (to a lesser extent) in zero gravity, with and without weapons. Untrained and unexperienced in planetary-based combat. Trained in the use of any weapon she can get her hands on through her position as an armourer, this includes energy pistols, energy rifles, knives, grenades and power armour.

Maintenance and Repair: Years of working as an armourer means that Haruhi is knowledgeable and experienced in the maintenance and repairing of all common portable Star Army weaponry and starship stasis systems, especially those that are found aboard the Irim-class gunships she served on.

Mathematics: Haruhi received basic mathematics training, including up to algebra and trigonometry, through she rarely has any practical use for either. Puts these skills to use on such exciting tasks as financial accounting and inventory control. While her math skills are perfectly fine, it is still no guarantee that anyone can figure out exactly how any ship's finances she handles manages to add up, or where all the money actually ends up going.

Rogue: Having been an armour for her entire life Haruhi knows and is known by a number of people who work within the various sections of the Star Army's logistics branch, as well as other armourers within the fleets. Not afraid to use anything from friendly bartering to outright blackmail to get what she wants, Haruhi uses her network of contacts to ensure that any ship she is on has access to every piece of the latest equipment it needs.

Technology Operation: Haruhi can operate any computer system that utilises the Kessaku Operating System – found on all Star Army starships – with greater ease and fluency than the average Neko. Punching data into a terminal or searching for any information she may require has become second nature to the armourer thanks to the requirement of her job to keep tabs on all of a ship's equipment.


[Edits]
Dropped 3cm off height and shaved off a kilo.

The history's a hair long ... but then, you're a veteran da yo.

I like that she doesn't give her respect easily. An armorer wouldn't, I imagine. Trust weapons, not people behind them and all.

Her hair is hawt.

The Rogue skill is strange. I see the justification, but ... I dunno. I guess I'd argue that if she has the skill, it shouldn't be that good.

Otherwise, solid. For what it's worth, I give this the green.
 
STOP. GRAMMARTIME.
Haruhi is very much someone who's respect needs to be earned through her own experience.
Whose.

Early on in YE 26, Haruhi was pulled out of the blue bag she had left a WickedArms Industries factory in and came to life aboard the Irim-class gunship that would be her home for the next nineteen months.
Run-on sentence.

Character Approved.
 
I thought that the rogue might raise a bit of concern, so I'll try and explain how I see it working. I imagine it as being 'streetwise' within the realm of SA logistics; she's been in on that scene for 3 years and as such I would think that she'd have gotten to know the people in there that she deals with regularly, the people at the front end that deal with requests and the like, and maybe a couple behind the scenes.

What I definately do not want it to be seen as is 'everyone one knows and fears her name', and that they will give her whatever she wants. Rather it's a handful of people who she has worked with in the past, who may or may not go beyond the norm for her with or without some 'coaxing' >_>

I agree that the wording of the skill is dodgey, but hopefully this has cleared up my expectations of it.

[edit] I see I fail at teh English. Shame.
