Character Information

Summary

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.

Kate specialized in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are limited to assault rifles and below.

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.

Her original Fixer, Alice Kane, knows that she is an HMHVV carrier. Kate goes to great lengths to protect others from it. She usually wears gloves everywhere, and social distances as appropriate to the situation.

Goals

Kate wants to move on from the Navy and establish her career for her life. She wants to one day run her own shipyard, but realizes that is a lofty goal.

She seeks to find more people to expand her social circle. Her experience in the military makes it hard, and she thinks that she'll find people easier on the Shadowhaven.

Always she seeks to improve her skills. She left the Military behind, but wants to work as a contractor. Shadowhaven is becoming her way into that life. She hopes to one day aquire a reputation to rival her father. Not out of malice but to move out form under his shadow.

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 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.

Appearance

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.

Clothing

Kate is a tall, fit former CAS Navy SEAL. She typically wears a black and grey knee length armor jacket with a Cavalier Evanator at her side in a concealed holster.

Kate in Full Body Armor looks like a typical CAS military Special Operator. The only insignia she carries is a small CAS flag patch on her shoulder. Loaded out, she has her FN HAR and grenade launcher on slings, microgrenades and ammunition strapped to her rig.

Katherine wears her old CAS dog tags usually, unless the job is REALLY sensitive. In addition to the two that are normally there, she has a red one that says "SPECIAL CARE NEEDED". A CAS soldier would recognize it as a mark of being a HMHVV carrier of any strain.

Matrix Persona

She uses a grey shark for her matrix persona.
