Katherine Tyler

Kate is a proud citizen of the CAS. While she is patriotic towards everything related to the South, her family and friends have nothing but disdain for slavery and racism towards any part of metahumanity. She respects her Southern war heroes, but not all of their values. Her attitude in-game reflects this. Kate is sworn to the Great Dragon Masaru's service.

Character Information

Character Plot Hooks

Aspect	Information	Related Run(s)
Dragonsworn	Kate is on good terms with Masaru and the S-K dragons. Masaru holds her leash. Brackhaus also has significant influence over her. She also tries to stay on good terms with the Draco Foundation. Her rising fame is starting to draw the attention of others, most recently Lung. Her allegiences can cause problems, and more than once she has had to make amends to a Great Dragon.	Spotted Wings, Until Dawn, GTFO of GeMiTo
Virulent Blood	Kate carries both strains. One was earned while in the Navy, the other on a run. She has also been exposed to all manner of plagues and viruses, including VITAS III.	Non-Hostile Commandeering, The Strain
Indestructible	The name says it all. Kate is a wall of muscle and metal. She is gaining fame for this by both her friends and foes. But this also leads her to recklessness. She doesn't quite cross the threshold into superhuman psychosis, but she toes the line.	Numerous, but GTFO of GeMiTo is the latest to stand out
Prone to Violence	Kate likes to take the direct approach. She will stick to and follow any plan, but left to her own devices she tends to get a little loud and messy.	Most of them, really.
Esoteric and Forbidden Knowledge	Kate possesses more magical knowledge than the next two Haven mages. Without being awakened, she has been on multiple journeys to other planes, dealt with spirits, been in spirit pacts, etc... She even met the Dweller once. She could give a better thesis on most magical studies than most students at MIT&T. The downside is that she has an insatiable thirst for knowledge. This can put her in compromising situations.	Who's Side are We On?, The Womb of Demons, He is the storm that is approaching..., Don't Fear The Yokai, A Voice Behind Me, Quest to the Nether, The Gateway, What Is Lu-(i)ck, Reject Enlightenment
Favor From Arleesh	Kate possesses a single feather from Arleesh. It is promise for a favor if Kate is ever in a bind that the dragon could help her out of.	The Pen is Mightier than the Dragon
Local Notoriety: Mongolia	Due to some shenanigans, Kate has a tarnished rep in Mongolia. To her it was all a misunderstanding, but it's something she'd have to make up for if she ever went back. (+1 Noto in Mongolia)	Mongolian Ghost Trains

Summary

"Navy SEAL training was the great equalizer. Nothing mattered except your will to succeed."

"A sword wields no strength, unless the hand that holds it has courage."

Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world. Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.

Her old callsign was "Starlight". She was originally the only female in SEAL Team 8, and some PO3 made the mistake of saying she was "Pretty as starlight", which earned him a punch in the mouth. Unfortunately, the joke stuck and so did the name.

Kate is a warrior born. She specializes in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent. In the Teams, she was notorious for her propensity to blow things up, or at least try to. Recently she has developed her physical combat skills and now prefers melee combat. Kate is a skill monkey. She can throw dice on almost any active skill, and knows a surprising amount of knowledge skills. She possesses decent hacking skills.

Kate is not awakened, but possesses more knowledge than most mages. She has deep resources to call on to deal with these threats, and can often surprise her foes with her knowledge.

Kate serves the Great Form Guidance Spirit Teldragon. She promised to assist him in his endeavors regarding the Horned God. Kate recently engaged in a temporary power pact with him. She has performed the Assensing, Divination, and Psychometry skills and powers at an effective magic 14.

Alice Kane and Bautista both know that she is an HMHVV carrier. Alice is her personal cybersurgeon, and Kate pays the premium to make sure everything is safe and OK with her operations.

Kate has Grey Mana tattoos on her back. Rating 3.

Kate is a Consummate Professional. Once she gives her word, she doesn't easily break it. Only rarely has this been done, and only for the right reasons.

Officially, Kate is a member of the Huk who directly reports to Bautista. Unofficially, She is one of Masaru's Shadowrunners he has on retainer.

Goals

Kate's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. Everything that drives her forward revolves around the possibility of learning something new.

Esoteric Lore

Kate's library is large and includes many rare and sometimes forbidden books. Most are on magic and ancient history, all the way back into the 4th world. Some of her more rare and valuable items include:

Al Azif (Fragmentary, Arabic)

De Vermiis Mysteriis (Latin)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten (German)

Pnakotic Manuscripts (Greek)

Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan (Mandarin Chinese)

Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-England Canaan (English)

Blacktooth Dagger

Kate's most treasured possession is a Blacktooth Dagger. Normally it represents membership to Assets Inc., hers was a gift from Ryan Mercury after rescuing his teammates during the GTFO of GeMiTo Run. It represents all her hard work and accomplishments in the Shadows. It is also a symbol of her dedication to stand against the dark, evil things that threaten our world. Her goals don't always follow those of the Foundation, but more often than not she finds herself fighting on the same side as them.

Starshatter

Kate wields the masterfully hand forged claymore Starshatter. She spends part of each day training with it, and it has since become an extension of herself. The sword was forged by Onotari Arms in Germany and shipped to her. A little incentive from S-K to pay her back, and show her who she should really be working for. It was an "anonymous" gift from one Hans Brackhaus. The hilt is leather over black wood, with a steel cross-guard. The blade is made of a proprietary Onotari Arms tool steel alloy resistant to corrosion and breaking. The blade is almost a pure silver-white, and catches the light easily. On the blade is an inscription written in German, "Die stärksten Klingen werden mit Drachenfeuer geschmiedet". The sword itself stands 1.4 meters tall, and Kate has a tendency to use it more akin to an axe than a sword due to it's sheer size and weight.

As of Sangre Por Sangre, the weapon was further customized. A specialist from the Draco Foundation had the hilt replaced with a black bone-like material, and glowing draconic runes were etched into the blade. What started as a masterpiece by Onotari Arms was made into a work of art by Brackhaus, and what he made a work of art was remade into a truly unique blade by the Draco Foundation.

It is her most unique and defining item she owns. It represents a great deal of respect between herself, and the dragons.

The runes are a R7 unbound Weapon Focus. Assensing detects Draconic Magic used to create it.

Starshatter is currently in the possession of Lofwyr's agent, Scale.

Background

Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.

She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.

When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.

She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.

She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.

She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

Kate's Family

Admiral James Tyler, 93, began his 45 year career with the CAS Navy at the young age of 17. He joined with a waiver from his parents. He began his career as an enlisted SONAR Technician, serving his first tour on the fast attack submarine CSS Lee. Admiral Tyler served for 12 years, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before being selected into Officer Candidate School. After receiving his commission, he served as the ASW Officer on the CSS Savannah. Serving with distinction, he received his first command of a patrol submarine when he was made Lieutenant. His promotion to Captain saw him command the CSS Richmond, one of the newly commissioned SSVN class submarines. This would prove to be his most prestigious command. After the Richmond, he served at numerous positions of leadership, eventually serving his final 10 years at the Naval War College. His insight led to numerous tactical advances for the Navy.

Mrs. Samantha McCallister-Tyler, 83, was born in Missouri and joined the Army to get off of her family’s farm. She enlisted originally into the non-combat pilot program, but was picked up for Officer Candidate School in training. After graduating flight school, she flew a Sea Sprite for several years before being selected to serve in the 160th SOAR. Upon completing SEAR and Advanced Combat Training, she served with the Night Stalkers for the rest of her career. When she was 26 she met James Tyler while transferring a Delta team to his SSVN for a mission. Weather forced her to stay onboard for a week, and the two hit it off, and the rest is history. She is currently retired residing at the Tyler family estate in Charleston.

Leah Tyler, 57, currently works for the CAS FBI. She awakened when she was only 4, displaying great aptitude for sorcery. She was recruited to the FBI straight out of highschool. Later she learned that this was two-fold. One, to use her skills, and two, to keep an eye on her. She excelled in her career. Today, she is a Magic 13 Hermetic Magician. She serves on a rapid response team specializing in awakened threats.

Samuel Tyler, 47, Currently serves at Camp Lejeune as an instructor. Specifically, he oversees the practical training of new Force Recon Marines. Having served in MARSOC for 32 years, he now trains the next generation of Marines. He visits home more often than any of the other siblings, being that he is so close.

Mrs. Anna Roberts-Tyler, 46, is a Naval Engineer currently serving in Charleston. She served on SSNs and SSVNs during her career as an Engineering Officer. She currently oversees all new installations and refueling of fusion reactors for the CAS Atlantic Fleet. Work keeps her away from home, and often takes her overseas for weeks at a time. She is also a Magic 8 Physad and uses her talents to help her work in extremely hostile environments. Her husband is a Mr. Michael Roberts who works at ONI, specializing in underwater reconnaissance and intelligence.

Ezekiel Tyler, 42, is a former Force Recon Marine like his brother Sam. Like his sister Kate, his career was upended by a fight with an HMHVV infected opponent. Unlike Kate, He succumbed to his infection becoming a Loup-Garou. He finished his current enlistment and was discharged. Technology allows him to live a mostly normal life, but finding employment is hard. Currently he works for the Blackwater Corporation. He has extensive training in unarmed combat and his natural claws really augment that. Kate is currently trying to get him to walk on the wild side and become a Shadowrunner, but Blackwater provides a good structure in his life, and provides everything he needs.

Katherine Tyler, 40, is a former Navy SEAL turned Shadwrunner. She enlisted in the Navy as a Diver, but volunteered for SEAL Training while in Dive school. After training she served her whole career with SEAL Team 8. She was the first female on that team, and the second ever female SEAL. She contracted HMHVV at 26, but fought off the virus and became a carrier. After the Navy, she moved to Seattle and became a mercenary, eventually becoming a full blown Shadowrunner. Currently she swears loyalty to the Great Dragon Masaru and the Hukbong Bayan. She has a very close relationship to the Great Spirit Teldragon, and there are rumors that this is very much a master-servant relationship.

Appearance

Cyberware and Bioware

Most of Kate's ware is actually very subtle. Only her Fangs, Claws, Cybereyes, Datajacks, and Orthoskin Mods are actually visible. She has a datajack behind her left ear and one on her right wrist. Her fangs are vampire-like and usually always visible. Her claws are often hid behind gloves due to her HMHVV. Her Sharkskin mod is visible as rough skin on her arms and legs. Dragon Hide is shown as subtle smooth scales across her shoulders, back, and chest. Her Cybereyes exhibit the normal slight glow, and hers are colored purple. They match her original eye color.

Tattoos and Scars

She bears numerous small scars from her service, but one stands out. A jagged claw scar extends from the base of her neck to her shoulder. This is where a ghoul grabbed her and cut along the top plate of her armor through the Kevlar. It healed, but left a very prominent scar. This can be seen if she wears a t-shirt. It can just barely be seen over the collar of an armored jacket or dress coat.

Kate has numerous tattoos as well. She has a full right sleeve that's very much CAS and military inspired. She has a SEAL trident on the back of her neck, but low enough to be concealed by a collard shirt. She also has a lunging shark on her left arm.

Kate recently had Grey Mana Tattoos done on her back in the form of a large shark. The tail starts just above her butt, curves up her back, and over her right shoulder. The shark's jaws open just under her collarbones. This makes it so it is visually hidden wearing clothes, but as with all grey mana tattoos, awakened can see it for what it is.

Clothing

Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL.

She typically wears a knee length black and silver armor jacket over a long sleeve shirt. She wears black pants and black custom Lonestar Bates combat boots. Her jacket has the image of a black and blue dragon on the back and the words “Hukbong Bayan” on the top across her shoulders.

She typically carries her Cavalier Evanator, Victorinox blades, tricked out commlink, drug injectors, BTLs, and assorted normal everyday things on her person wherever she goes.

Kate in SWAT Armor looks like a typical military Special Operator. She wears a small CAS flag patch on her right shoulder, and a small black dragon with white horns and the letters "H-U-K" on the other shoulder. Loaded out, she carries a custom FN-HAR and rotary grenade launcher on slings, with microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig. She wears a low profile backpack filled with tools and supplies, and usually carries a few kilos of C4 with her. She also sports a very large claymore across her back.

Kate wears her old CAS dog tags everywhere. She breaks this habit only in certain situations. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "CARRIER" on one side, and "HMHVV III" on the other.

Matrix Persona

She uses a blue shark for her matrix persona. Her agent appears as a blue corgi made of energy or electricity of some sort. They occasionally have glitches where they appear as a large detailed wolf, but glitch back to normal after a split second. They seem to have a dog brain one moment and intelligent the next. This is due to the fact that Von Neumann used an actual sapient AI that was stripped down in the construction of her agent.
