Character Information

Summary

Often characterised as a gentle giant, Obasan is a hard-faced yet soft-spoken middle-aged street samurai that mostly engages in unarmed combat.

Goals

Wishes to retire to a permanent peaceful relaxed and modest lifestyle, with a wife and her trusty pet gomatia, Joji. Maybe kids.

Background

Born to a single parent in the slums of Redmond in a community of mostly south-east asians, Obasan had never knew much beyond the bounds of Seattle. Already challenged socioeconomically, things didn't fare much better when she went through goblinisation during puberty, making job prospects and life in general twice as hard.

Despite so, she persevered in making an honest living for herself, having travelled to practically every corner of Seattle from the barren wastelands of Puyallup to the high gates of Bellevue, working as many minimum wage jobs as possible before being picked up as a Knight Errant recruit. Dilligent and always delivering results, Obasan climbed ranks as fast as the performance optimising ware installed into her. However, her hard luck finally caught up to her with a punch that landed a little too hard on a priority intel target, kicking her out of the academy.

Fed up with the wrenches life keeps throwing at her despite all her best intentions, Obasan finally resorted to life as a runner, settling in Tacoma in search of a more fruitful career.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

• Agile Defender: Growing up in the Redmond slums, Obasan had to learn self defence from a young age, learning Muay Thai from her thai peers.
• Biocompatability (Bioware): During her days as a Knight Errant officer, Obasan was required to go through ware upgrades (mostly bioware) to hone her skills in subduing targets in close combat.
• Delicate Fingers: With her colourful history in employment at numerous menial labour jobs from office work to sanitation, Obasan had to adapt to non trog-sized peripherals. She also utilises this with her hobby of carpentry and DIY.
• Disgraced: Obasan was dishonourably discharged as a Knight Errant officer due to pulverising a priority intel target from an ill-timed rush of Kamikaze. The paperwork was abysmal to deal with.
• Human Lifespan: Born human, Obasan went through goblinisation at puberty.
• Nasty Trog: As she grew, Obasan embraced her new life as a troll, decorating her horns by carving intricate details into them as well as being meticulous with the care of her tusks.
• Perfect Time: Years of having to discipline herself with strict on-the-clock schedules from her jobs to the regimens of the Knight Errants had granted Obasan with an amazing sense of time.

Negative

• Aged: Frankly, Obasan is just as baffled as everyone else that had asked how she managed to live this long.
• Simsense Vertigo: Never really exposed to advanced visual technology at a young age, plus not needing to interact with it as much in her lifetime, Obasan never got used to dealing with realities that weren't brick-and-mortar.
• Ugly and Doesn't Care: Ever since her goblinisation, Obasan was well aware she didn't have the most attractive of mugs. This doesn't deter her dilligence to prove her worth beyond looks.
• SINner (National): Obasan has a national SIN from her honest days.

Appearance

Clothing

Casual Outfit

Obasan is typically seen in her favourite pineapple print button-up and tan slacks. Parts of the shoulder sleeves are usually ripped due to her dermal deposits being too unwieldy to fit.

She retains the button-up and slacks in her runner outfit, which consists of a ballistic gas mask, an armoured jacket, forearm guards, a toolbelt and her trusty sling bag.

Runner Gear

Matrix Persona

Being unfamiliar with the matrix, she has the default icon, but overlayed with a repeating texture of a gecko.
