Description
“I am Very, very crazy, and very certain no one can ever stop me.” ~Ashlinn
Physical
Face and Eyes - A thin jaw leads into high cheekbones, full lips and a small nose draw ones attentions to her lips or her eyes respectively.
Hair - A mane of long blond hair is often kept in check in a tight bun, or high ponytail to prevent issues when wearing a duty hat or a combat helmet.
Body - Ashlinn is tall for her weight, though that belies the Trim, Athletic blondes strength which is purpose built for combat. Well defined muscles are softened by her pale skin.
Distinguishing Features - instead of normal human ears Ashlinn actually has a pair of fuzzy blonde cat ears perched atop her head and a thin, matching in coloration, feline tail at her lower back that is usually kept wrapped around her waist when in a combat suit.

Abilities
Theme: Commanding Officer, FireSupport, Stealth.
Command Interface Implant - Ashlinn has a prototype interface device that lets her track her REAPER units movements and coordinate with them over secure channels via retinal, aural, and subvocalization implants. The Viability of the implants has yet to be determined and is designed to interface with her own prototype Command Variant Power Armor.
Nanotechnology - Ashlinn's body is enhanced with nanomachinery.
Gradual Regeneration - Ashlinn's body gradually regenerates from grievous wounds. Scratches and grazes seal up in an hour, a missing finger may take a couple of days to regenerate, while a missing limb can take upwards of three weeks. Extra medical attention can speed this process up. (They say things grow back bigger, don’t believe them. ~Bronski)
Mental
Psychology:
On Duty: Ashlinns thought process can be summed up best as compartmentalized, flexible and task orientated. Her ability to fluidly transition between immense quantities of information and maintain a firm grip on situational awareness of herself and her soldiers while maintaining tactical flexibility is impressive and has been demonstrated effectively on a recent excursion to E-11.
Off Duty: Ashlinns psychological profile can best be summed up, ‘Not my circus, not my monkey, have a beer and hold onto anything valuable you don’t want lost or ‘misplaced’.
Likes - Autonomy, Alcohol, Carousing, her 30mm sniper cannon, REAPER’s in general, taking unauthorized pictures of Er’reds rock garden.
Dislikes - Inefficiency, red tape bureaucracy, Religious zealots.
Goals - Establish her REAPER’s as a bottom line enhancing asset to the matriarchy. Discover exactly what the hell a ‘Maidenhand’ is and how the hell she came to be one. Discover new and interesting ways to employ startling amounts of firepower for fun and profit.
Social
Personality
Bombastic, excitable and highly motivated. Will work herself to death and arguably party just as hard. Serious on the clock, but relaxed and laid back when off.
She’s just as happy to be running logistics as she is standing hip deep in the Val’tas bilges discovering the myriad ways ‘weird things’ can be blasted apart. Most certainly not a ‘handle with care’ girl.
Affiliations and Beliefs
Affiliation: Lorath Matriarchy, LSDF Val’ta, REAPER detachment (Commanding officer)
Ashlinn is quite happy to stand back and let those with religious inclinations follow their Deity. Her own personal beliefs skew towards pragmatic worship of a vague ‘Goddess’ deity from a half remembered racial memory.

Skills
Ashlinns skill set represents her diverse training and ability to look at every situation tactically and a penchant for logistical planning, mischief and mayhem.
Gunner [Advanced]
The stock and trade of any soldier, they live and die by their weapons. From the 40MM REAPER Cannon, to the new M.I.A.R(Marine Infantry Assault rifle) every REAPER is issued. By the time even a basic recruit leaves training they will have become intimately familiar with every small and long arm in use, within the REAPERs or the Matriarchy.
A requirement for most REAPERs, and every Officer amongst the REAPERs will have accrued some degree of stealth skills in order to ensure that they are capable of any level of recon duty or possibly blending in within local cultures.
Judo, Muay Thai, Boxing, Taekwondo and Krav Maga training makes her a decidedly slippery opponent, she compensates for her lack of mass with the ability to land devastatingly accurate kicks, elbows and throws.
Rigorous military training, a life constantly on the move and personal physical training with parkour and endurance running. Every REAPER participates in Daily PT in order to maintain or improve.
Power Armor [Expert]
Understanding how her equipment works, when it won’t and how to best use it to maximum advantage is second nature to any soldier.
“Any Grunt can wear a suit of Power armor and be effective in it. I can take a suit of power armor and juggle raw eggs, coordinate an entire battalions combat tactics while performing aerial ballet with a cannon built to take out sub orbital targets.” ~Ashlinn
Leadership [Advanced]
Command, Communications, Control, Tactics and Logistics seem to come naturally to Ashlinn. Be it exploiting a weakness in an enemy or seeing a potential force multiplier and capitalizing on it’s availability or potential use to those around her. Her ability to absorb staggering amounts of input while embroiled within combat is one of her greatest assets.
Basic Skills
Medical: All REAPERs, from Officer to Fresh Recruit receive a crash course in Field Care 101.
Piloting: A basic course in atmospheric and aerospace fighters is taught to all recruits in order to provide redundancy and backups in case of emergencies.
Survival: Every REAPER carries a Basic Kit, is familiar with it and is capable of performing the minimal in order to survive in hostile environments.
Engineering: Ashlinn has taken to engineering and multiplied it as much as possible to ensure that if she can’t do it herself, she will find you someone who can, or learn to do it herself in as efficient a time as possible. Her wrist computer is rapidly filling up with every engineering field manual and equipment reference book she can get her hands on.
