Character Information
Description
Cassidy MacRae, A.K.A 'Bannerette', is fairly short for an elf at just under 6ft tall. Though well-built from her long years of military service, and her physically intensive lifestyle, she still has a distinctly feminine figure. Her fiery red hair falls to shoulder length when let down, though she prefers to have it tied up in order to keep it out of the way. Her soulful blue eyes seem to glow in the dark, which turn to an icy stare when she is focused. Her hands are calloused from long hours at the range and give the impression of a person who does a lot of physical work, which is something she really likes. Though she prefers camouflage patterns on her casual wear, her favorite being the classic old US woodland, she does also enjoy wearing more traditionally feminine clothes and will often default to a fancy sundress when it's time to dress up.
Cassidy is a bit of a medieval history nerd, and though she's no scholar, she owns a fairly impressive collection of books on the subject. Her matrix persona is modelled after a Hospitaller Knight, every matrix game she plays is set in medieval times (or at least a fantasy version based on it), and she even hangs out with a LARP group every Saturday when she isn't running. She goes to church on Sunday mornings when she can help it, and when she can't she attends a 'make up mass' on her next available morning. She enjoys a good glass of whiskey, and prefers quieter pubs and other hangouts over the more rowdy and loud concert-hall style ones. Cassidy makes a point to hang out with Major Paige at least once a week, though both being busy so often, it can be hard to find time. She also puts in some time helping the environment, and is strong believer in taking action instead of holding a sign on the street, meaning she dedicates some time to planting things and occasionally volunteers to teach small kids about nature; Though she doesn't dedicate very much time to the task.
"Bannerette" is a boisterous and theatrical person with strong principles. When she's not on a job, she's fairly carefree and socialble, and she has even gone as far as to cosmetically modify some of her gear with a medieval aesthetic. Despite her traditionally masculine profession and interests, she is fairly girly; A room with pink walls and medieval/fantasy themed plush toys on shelves, cutesy stickers on her commlink case, and lots of window shopping for dresses she wishes she could afford. On the job, however, she tries to keep it professional: Cordial and polite with Mr. J, straight forward and direct with her teammates; Though her love of puns and carefree nature can sometimes slip through the cracks.

Background
Cassidy MacRae was born on November 11th, 2036 in the city of Chicago as the 5th child of Connor and Francine MacRae. Connor MacRae was a veteran, and the owner of the apartment block in which they lived. Her mother, Francine, was a nurse at the local VA hospital at which Cassidy would often volunteer. Due to hard times for the family, the financial burden on her family of having her 4 older siblings going to local university, and her younger brother falling ill, Cassidy began her career in the UCAS marines in December of 2054 (a decision that made her father very proud). Shortly after her training had completed in mid 2055, Chicago became bug city; Cassidy was among the forward elements of the military response to this incident, though she did not know the real reason she was being deployed there due to the UCAS coverup story of a VITAS outbreak. Cassidy spent a few months at the containment zone assisting (Read: grunt work) in logistics operations before the real reason there was revealed. After watching in horror as a nuclear warhead detonated in her home city, Cassidy was assigned light duty for the next 6 years. Her entire family was presumed dead, and their bodies were never found. She buried 7 empty coffins alone.
Following the six year period of light duty, and narrowly avoiding a section 8 over the death of her family, Cassidy was assigned to participate in the Mojave Desert Wars(tm). From 2061 until 2069, Cassidy was a minor but successful and well-regarded participant on behalf of the UCAS. After her 8 year tour-on-tape, she achieved the rank of 2nd Lieutenant and was reassigned to the UCAS-Sioux Nation border. Tensions there were high, and incidents where minor, but not unheard of, and her ability to keep a level head on the playing field made her a good candidate in the eyes of her superiors. Here, she met Major Paige Jenkins, and became good friends with her over the next 13 years. Though she would distinguish herself as a promising leader on the border, and among the longest serving officers there by early 2082, disaster struck her career and the career of the Major. Reports concerning the incident conflict on who fired first, but during a routine patrol accompanied by the Major, a skirmish broke out with opposing Sioux forces and multiple casualties on both sides were sustained. Cassidy herself was shot in the leg. The political fallout resulted in the Major being reassigned to a logistics posting in Seattle, while Cassidy got a phony medical discharge. Robbed of her career, her pension, and her benefits Cassidy was forced to turn to the shadows to make a living. Connected with Paige's shady cousin sunglasses, a decently connected fixer and general parazoology enthusiast, she took her first step into the shadows in December of 2082.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Agile Defender
- Bob and weave! Bannerette's superior agility allows her to make acrobatic dodges on instinct. After all, how can the enemy anticipate where you are going if even you don't really know?
- Guts
- Bannerette has stared down insect spirits and seen hundreds of people die, she isn't easy to scare
- High Pain Tolerance 3
- Bannerette has endured all manner of punishment, and has grown a considerable amount of tolerance to getting shot.
- Mentor Spirit (Eagle)
- A symbol synonymous with the country she served for so long.
- Mentor's Mask
- One might see the illusion of an eagle, sometimes accompanied by it's faint cry, when Bannerette actively uses her powers.
- Perfect Time
- After 28 years of service in the UCAS military Cassidy has a nearly perfect internal clock, and is rarely late to anything.
- Rank (2nd Lieutenant, UCAS Marines)
- Despite the political fallout due to the incident on the border between the UCAS and the Sioux, Bannerette enjoy recognition of her service to the UCAS (at least in most respects).
- Sharpshooter
- Bannerette has always been a crack shot, but her experience in the military has honed that skill considerably.
- Shoot First, Don't Ask
- Bannerette has learned through her beginning experiences in running that hesitation can kill.
- Strive for Perfection
- Bannerette is a riflewoman. She aims, quite literally, for the best. She's getting very close.
- Tough as Nails 4
- Bannerette is not an easy woman to take down. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and lots of things have failed to kill Cassidy.
Negative
- Allergy (mild, pollutants)
- Bannerette has a low tolerance for the urban blight of the dirtier parts of the city, part of her magical abilities and her relationship with the eagle mentor spirit.
- Impassive
- The downside to being tolerant to constant stress and danger is that civil society and regular people tend to see you as emotionless, at least some of the time.
- No Man Left Behind
- Cassidy feels very strongly that leaving a man behind, under any circumstances, is extremely dishonorable.
- SINner (UCAS)
- Cassidy, despite being thrown out in the cold by her country, retains her citizenship and a decent chunk of her patriotism.
- Thousand Yard Stare 1
- With almost 3 decades of military experience, Bannerette has seen some things she wishes she could forget.
