Psychological Characteristics

Personality: Ma'at is a very kind girl. She will help anyone that needs it, but only if she thinks you deserve it. The death of her parents' have made her very cautious about the people around her. She will occasionally go to parties but she would rather stay in her room, reading manga or some huge book that she happened to find. She is usually seen in casual clothes, jeans and a shirt. But at times, Ma'at is known to wear dresses or dress pants. Ma'at is not a very brave person. She would fight, if she had too, since she did train in it. But she would rather just stay behind the scenes.

History

Ma'at was born on an orbiting station, where she lived with her family. They were versed in diffrent types of technology. They lived happily and contently on their space station. Ma'at grew up hearing about the GP-12 rifle that her parents helped develope. Being around them, she and her brother picked up information as they grew up, making them very smart and intune with technology. Ma'at was good at genetics while her brother was good at engineering.

Everything was going great until Ma'at was about 18. She had been out with one of her friends, walking around the space station when all of a sudden the station was completely shaken with an explosion. It was later that she found out that it had been her family's home that had been attacked. Her parents were found dead. But as much as everyone looked for her brother, no one could find him. Wanting to find her brother, the only family that she had left, she almost drove herself crazy looking for him.

With his name forever in her head, Ma'at decided to do something about it and find out who had killed her parents and where her brother could be.
She went to collage, where she majored in genetics and medicine, planning to go into the army. After she finished school, Ma'at then went into the training program where she spent almost three years in.

Now she hopes to get assigned to a ship that could hopefully get her that much closer to finding her only family.

Skills:

Communication: Ma'at is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from others through headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Ma'at is fluent in English. She can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.

Fighting: Ma'at 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, knives, and power armor.

Technology Operation: Ma'at 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: Ma'at received basic mathematics training, to including up to algebra and trigonometry.

Medical and Science: Ma'at went to school and took a medical path while studying there. She is efficient in typical first aid and medicine. She is also a great surgeon and is good a cybernetic installations.

Physical: Along with her fighting training, Ma'at also took extra coursing. She is a very fast runner, able to get from one place to another quickly when needed and is very flexible thanks to training in acrobatics.

Biology: Ma'at is very versed in genetics and any technology involving it. She specializes in regenerative genetics, which she learned from her parents.

OOC Notes

This is my first character and I wanted to know if it was okay to make my character and a approved character, Galar Vanatosk, siblings. I have talked to the person in charge of this character and he doesn't mind and agrees with the idea.
 
First...I'm going to welcome you to the Star Army universe, and wish you the best of luck in all of your role-playing adventures.

Next, I'm going to congratulate you on a splendid job of using the Character Creation Guide and format. It's nice to see people use it correctly.

Finally, I'm going to make a few major pointers here real quick before you get too comfortable with your character. ^.^

1. You need to change your race, um...probably ASAP. The Geshrin are outdated models for the Star Army of Yamatai, and there shouldn't be any new characters made of them.

2. While the history is...okay...it is very vague. I'm not sure which station you're actually talking about (if there are even civilian space stations or not is another question that a senior member could answer), or where she actually went to college at.
:D Try to be more descriptive with the names and places of major events in her life.
That being said-

3. Her background is quite short for a medical postion (not to mention the speedy grey areas of education), but that's all I'm going to say about that. I'll let someone else tackle that area, but I'd suggest getting some more information on her for when the other members make their suggestions. It never hurts to have extra background info, or even a backup plan >.<
 
I'm going to bed soon, so I don't have time to go in-depth for now. Gimme 9 hours or so.

I only question the name at this moment. I questioned where Galar's name came from, and I would like to know if you're doing the same "messing with Norse mythology." It can slide I suppose, but I'm curious.
 
Ma'at's an egyptian name Doshii. It's also a female name, and the name of the Goddess of Truth in egyptian mythos.

Galar's Approved Biography said:
Name: Galar Vanatosk
Species: Geshrin
Gender: male
Age: 28
Family / Creators: unknown...yet

I guess we can allow one more.
 
Chris has a good point ... but we have kind of a time problem.

Yui, in IC time, sent that order out maybe, what, a couple days ago? Assuming this one already made it through basic and what not, she's probably still a Geshrin.

But that can be changed in game, if really needed. It just needs to be done before the year's out.
 
Ok. I think that she would probably change her race later in the game. But is that all that is needed? I'm not sure if there is anything else that I need to add or delete.
 
Well, Geshrins must upgrade before they're considered "qualified" to recieve a new assignment. Therefore, all new characters, as they're going to be assigned to plot ships, need to upgrade before they arrive ICly.
 
Perhaps some formatting, break the history into paragraphs, then bold the headings of the skills and put line breaks between each of them.

Then wait for the thumbs up. :D
 
Can Yamataians have near-sightedness, Wes? Would her glasses be decorative?

My other question is why she and her brother don't share a last name. :)
 
No, Yamataians are all supposed to have perfect vision. ^_^;
 
Nightvision/low light glasses for reading after lights out secretly, and if Nekos have in-built night vision ( like normal cats ) perhaps she keeps them on just incase her brother sees her on the streets, he would have an easier time recodnising her if she wore her glasses from her geshrin days.
