Weight: 132 lbs (60 Kg)
Measurements: 35 - 25 - 34 (90 - 63 - 86)
Bra Size: 35B

Build and Skin Color: Slender and slightly athletic, both due to construction model as well as a lifestyle devoted to fitness. Pale cauccasian.
Facial Features and Eye Color: Generally held to be "homely" or "pretty", but rarely beautiful or sexy. Kim is often considered jokingly to be a perfect example of your average Jane Doe. Red eyes that matches her hair. (Appears nineteen/early twenties)
Hair color and Style: Fiery red hair worn in a tight pony-tail, slightly coarse and dry to the touch.
Usual Clothing/Dress Style: Kim is most often seen wearing the standard female bodysuit uniform, with the midnight blue of the Infantry. When off duty, Kim can be seen wearing loose camouflage leggings (the actual camouflage pattern and colours vary), and green tank tops.

Distinguishing Features: Unnaturally fuzzy fur on her ears due to an incident during training, causing the fur on her ears to become flawed when it growed back out.



Psychological Characteristics

Personality: Stubborn, loyal, and determined, Kim is often considered a model soldier who obeys orders usually without question, but her insatiable curiosity and ambition also urges her to advance through the ranks and do whatever is required of her to succeed. However, Kim is not completely focused only her career, and will never attempt to gain by the misfortune of others (except those deemed enemies by the Star Army). While disliking racism and prejudice, Kim has a slight Nekovalkyrja supremacy complex, and while she does not believe any species to be truly inferior, she does believe the Nekovalkyrja is on average superior in most fields compared to other species.


Likes: Firearms, martial arts, training, explosives, being in space, being in Zero Gravity environments.
Dislikes: Loud music, cowards, whimps, urban environments, racism, prejudice.
Goals: Becoming a Chusa in the Yamati Star Army, becoming the galaxy's strongest martial artist.


History
Created by the Ketsurui Zaibatsu in YE 30, Kim underwent long months of training to help her become what she considers the best possible soldier for the Yamatai Empire, including advanced firearms and explosives and martial arts.

Kim was granted the surname of "Kurusora" by the scientist who created her for the Zaibatsu and 'raised' her during her younger months while. The name was granted due to the fact that when she broods, she gives of the impression of a dark thundercloud.

Kim had a fairly uneventful childhood and training, and the only real exciting incident happened when during her demolition training, which left her and her instructor without eyebrows and singed fur on her ears, and a rather large hole in a wall.

Now Kim is currently awaiting to be transferred to her first command.

Skills:

: Communication: Kim is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Kim is fluent in Nepleslian, and Yamataian. She can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc. As a Nekovaklyrja, Kim also has skills within telepathic communication.

: Fighting: Kim has received hand-to-hand combat training, followed up with a rigorous training program. She is skilled and experienced in combat both in Yamatai-like conditions and in zero-gravity, with and without weapons. Weapons she is trained in include energy pistols, energy rifles, grenades, knives, and power armor. In addition to the standard hand-to-hand combat training, Kim has long been training martial arts to increase her combat effectiveness.

: Technology Operation: Kim is capable of operating any computer system that uses the Kessaku OS, found on all Star Army starships. She is proficient in entering and/or searching for information.


: Mathematics: Kim has received basic mathematics training, to including up to algebra and trigonometry.


: Demolitions: Kim has recieved advanced demolitions training, learning to identify, handle, disarm, and dispose of most known explosives.

: Physical: Kim is a strong swimmer, and has taken advanced lessons to increase her stamina as well as more acrobatic moves. In addition to these swimming lessons, Kim has taken basic and advanced Zero Gravity training enhanced by her swimming lessons, making her completely at ease in zero gravity environments. Both her swimming and Zero G training is enhanced by her natural grace and agility as a Nekovalkyrja.

: Domestic: Kim also knows the basic domestic skills required to maintain a clean and healthy living space and provide food and sustenance for a strong and healthy Infantry unit.
 
0. This bio must be wikified before I can approve it.

1. Birthmarks? What kind? Are they moles or something? How did they get there? The manufacturing process limits birthmarks to just the tattoo on the back ...

2. Kim's not completely focused on her career, and her spending 2 years in training suggests that. Most training is complete inside six months. However, her desire to be a Chusa is going to take more determination than that.

Also, she was created in YE 28, when the NH-29 did not exist. That means she would've had to transfer into the new NH-29. Can you make a mention of her being an NH-17 when created, then having to transfer to the NH-29?

The rest of the history looks OK, I think. It's about as basic as it should be.

3. All the skills are fine, except on Domestic:
: Domestic: Kim also knows the basic domestic skills required to maintain a clean and healthy living space and provide food and sustenance for a strong and healthy Marine.
She's not a Marine. She's infantry.

Overall: A good first character! It's clear you went through and read the pertinent parts of the CCG, and that's one of the major things we ask for here. Just address the minor bits above, and you're A-OK.

This character is pending.
 
learning how to propperly use all standard Star Army firearms.
Please remove this item; she's infantry. She knows this stuff already.

Other than that, the bio is pretty much good to go, but you'll need to add it to the wiki before we can approve it.
 
You can put that she wants to learn about non-standard firearms.

Also, Andenes? Jesus, you are WAY the hell in northern Norway. Welcome!
 
Welcome to the SARP! I'm Fay. Nice to meet you! Anywho, time to get down to business...

1. Wasn't red hair only used for experimental nekos? Or is that not done anymore? I forget... >.>;; Or was it the red eyes? Bleh, Wes or Doshii will tell me if I am correct or not.

2. Not many Nekos actually have cat ears anymore, I'm afraid. More like elf ears, I think, but I've always preferred the cat ones, personally. It's good to see some that still have them. :) If you can get away with it, go for it! :mrgreen:

3. Why is she fluent in Nepleslian? I think Yamatai calls it Trade, but I'm not sure if there are any distinctions (accents or slightly different words) between the two.

This is a pretty good character! Good luck with it and I hope you have fun here on Star Army! :mrgreen: Hope to roleplay with you sometime!
 
1. Wasn't red hair only used for experimental nekos? Or is that not done anymore? I forget... >.>;; Or was it the red eyes? Bleh, Wes or Doshii will tell me if I am correct or not.
It was red eyes, and it no longer applies. NH-29 nekos can have any color hair.

2. Not many Nekos actually have cat ears anymore, I'm afraid. More like elf ears, I think, but I've always preferred the cat ones, personally. It's good to see some that still have them. :) If you can get away with it, go for it!
I don't know where you got that idea; there's actually been a trend toward furred ears in the last year.

3. Why is she fluent in Nepleslian? I think Yamatai calls it Trade, but I'm not sure if there are any distinctions (accents or slightly different words) between the two.
Because basically all people, including nekos, are fluent in trade?

Please don't confuse new players with inaccurate information.
 
On the points Fay brought up- the color coding of the hair and eyes has not been restricted to certain models and types since the NH-7 series. so she is free to have whatever hair color she likes. And red eyes used to be restricted to test weapons, not so much any more.

All Nekos are fluent in Trade/Nepleslian (it's the same thing regardless of what we call it) and Yamataian.

Nekos can also have the fuzzy elongated style of ears on the sides of their heads where are ears normally are. So she's good there as well. But it is abnormal for a regular neko to get scarred these days because their high healing factor makes it very difficult for them to keep a scar of any sort.

I would also think that any burned tissue could be easily healed/repaired with the technology that Yamatai possesses.... if we can regrow limbs and bodies in a hemosynth tank in a few hours... baldness is no longer a problem. ;)
 
Eh, this ain't confusing... I've seen lots worse, hehe.

And ah, sure. Just wanted to add it as a little quirk for her, but in that case, I might remove it... or perhaps decide to keep it due to her personality, kinda a reminder to stay sharp and not make that mistake again.

And yup, north of the artic circle, currently blizzards outside, and I (due to last year at school rituals: Russ) took a bath in the sea this friday.. x.x
 
Hi there, just wanted to welcome you to the club. I think its always nice to see another NH-29 soldier in the ranks. When you get approved and if your looking for a plot then Fort Ready would be a good place to start to get your self acquainted with the setting. Lately a lot of the new players just seem to keep coming and going so we can always use more new players. "Were currently doing simulated squad combat. :D " Just go put Fort Ready in your orders submission if your interested, If you have any questions just PM me, Yagen, or Kai and will be more then happy to answer them for you. Hope to see you there.
 
My apologies, KimM. It may not have confused you, but I'm still sorry. I've picked up a lot of things around here, and some of it is a bit outdated, it seems...

I was asking if Trade and Nepleslian were different from each other slightly (like English in America differs slightly from English in England), but KimG answered that just fine. :)

Anywho, take care, KimM. ^_^ *is having fun with the names, apparently*
 
Heh, thanks. Oh, before I forget, I have one little piece of accurate info for you: Submit your contact info here. It'll help everyone get to know you a lot faster. ^_^

(( Note: Trying not to spam this topic too much. Sorry if it kinda went off-topic... >.>;;;;;; ))
 
I think so, but you should probably wait for either Doshii or KimG gives you the proper approval before posting anywhere ICly.
