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.

Kate has been told by Pumpkin King Jack to stay away from Sophocles during the month of October.

Kate has a certain distaste for FLR individuals. You don't need metal limbs to be great. That's only cheating.

Kate is a member of the Huk who directly reports to Bautista. She doesn't care that much about smuggling and piracy, but does firmly believe in their fight against the IJS. She serves as a courier, contact, and Shadowrunner. Kate is sworn to Masaru and to all his ambitions and goals. Hans Brachkaus has tried convincing her to work for him instead, but Kate will not break her word. And she believes in Masaru's goals.

Kate has recently acquired a cyberdeck and truly stepped into the secondary role as a Decker. She still has some skill development to go, but is on her way.

Goals

Kate is an established Shadowrunner. Her results speak for themselves. While she is not the strongest, not the toughest, and not the smartest, she combines all three traits into one person. To this end she trains and trains to improve her edge. She isn't FLR, isn't Awakened or Emerged, but trains and fights to beat such foes.

Kate is learning Kunst Des Fechtens in her off time. She also wants to learn certain Kenjutsu techniques and apply them both as her own style. Kate is a newer member of the Vigilant Iron Schooling House in Redmond.

She seeks to meet new people and make new allies in the world. Especially magical allies. She has a valuable resource in Teldragon, but more knowledge is better.

The Arsenal

Starshatter

Kate wields a masterfully hand forged claymore. 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.

Heartrender

A new acquisition she had commissioned to represent her accomplishments. Heartrender was made by a blacksmith in Essen whose family trade traces back centuries. It is a more traditional longsword than Starshatter. She had it made to allow for more flexibility in combat. Having a free hand opens up much more utility in and out of fights. The blade is Damascus style with a silvered crossguard and a reddish-brown leather wrapped handle. While it is Damascus, the blade possesses a brighter silver sheen than normal.

This blade was re-forged after being destroyed in the OU and bears the marks of that process as imperfections in the Damascus patterns.

Hatred's Bite

A new blade for a new technique. The Spanish rapier was commissioned as a dueling sword, specific for more formal occasions. The blade is a normal silver-steel, with silver filigree on the basket hilt, and a black leather wrapped grip.

Kate's Custom FN HAR

Kate's rifle is more than a weapon, it is a companion. It has been by her side since her second year as a SEAL. It is an older custom model. It sports a normal rifle frame, very similar to the SCAR-H that FN produces in the early 21st century.

Kate's Custom FN P93 Praetor

Recently acquired, this is a custom model of the P93 given to her by Von Neumann during her work in the Underground. It uniquely bears the hallmarks of Von Neumann's design and Kate's tinkering together in one weapon for a truly custom look.

Kate's Grenade Launcher

Originally a Terracotta X-6 MGL, like all her weapons it has been extensively customized. Often filled with High Ex grenades, it provides excellent room clearing capabilities.

Kate's Cavalier Evanator

A simple and small weapon. Often disregarded at her enemies peril. Kate makes use of every piece of her toolkit and her sidearm has its place.

Ontario Arms Mk III Combat Knife

A staple weapon of the CAS Navy SEALs. The standard issue fighting knife for all members. Kate's is from her original graduation as a SEAL. It bears the inscription "FACTA NON VERBA" on the blade

This blade was broken during a job in the OU. It was re-forged very nearly perfectly, but an extremely practiced eye can see the original repairs.

Victorinox Memory Blades

Kate has a matched, formed set of the sword and dagger. They are paired to her scout's tux as a matching belt and bracelet.

Mr. Braun's SK/Onotari Arms Silent Claw Stiletto

Also acquired during her time in the Underground, this was a gift for a long dead scientist conducting work on the viability and survivability of cyberzombies. There is engraving written on the blade in German commemorating the doctor on his work. The craftsmanship and materials are exquisite and bear some resemblance to the designs put into Kate's claymore, which is what originally drew her eye.

Inugami Blade from Yomi Island

Kate received a unique looking vibro sword forged in the shape of a katana from the leader of a dog shifter pack on Yomi Island. The blade has ancient Kanji engravings referring to a legend about an Inugami.

Yomiko's Reaper Scythe

Yomiko was rescued wielding an exotic looking bone scythe. The weapon seemed to be as hard and tough as any steel, and proved valuable.

Silver Trident

More of a show piece, but in Kate's have a true weapon nonetheless. It is tall, elegant, and deadly.

Fairlight Destiny Blade

Kate's cyberdeck was sourced through Von Neumann. It, and the Agent on it, are very unique. The agent, Secundus, was a wild AI that Von Neumann caught, stripped bare, and repurposed for Kate's uses.

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.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Agile Defender - Those ballet and gymnastics lessons her father made her take, plus years of training, make Kate quite light on her feet.

Augmented Strength Mastery - Kate's mind was forged in battle. Her body, however, is built like a finely tuned machine. She is immensely proud of this.

Battle Hardened - Kate is a soldier. Even if she has been discharged, you don't lose the attitude.

Biocompatibility(Cyberware) - Kate has had augmentation since she was 18. Her first set of muscle replacement was done immediately after SEAL training.

Candle in the Darkness - Honor is a rare thing in the sixth world. General empathy is even more uncommon. Kate holds her values close, and those around her know they can depend on her to do the right thing.

Common Sense - Kate always had good common sense. It has saved her life more than once.

Guts - Kate is fearless, but not reckless. She can sometimes be overconfident, but always keeps her head in tough situations.

Instinctive Hack - Kate is a master of many disciplines. The Matrix is just another facet of her skills.

Jack of All Trades, Master of None - Kate has been dabbling in just about everything. This, coupled with her ADHD, will probably make it easier to learn things, but difficult to master them.

Jury Rigger - Kate is smart. She always has been. She can make some of the toughest tasks feel trivial, and she does her best work under pressure.

Made Man - The Huk - Kate finally took Bautista up on his offer, and became one of his agents in Seattle. She isn't a smuggler, but She is a Shadowrunner. And that has value.

Magic Resistance - Kate has been to hell and back, and is tougher for it.

Prototype Materials 2 - Custom Jabberwock bone grips really add to her gun's flair. And the special parts as part of the S-K reward help out too. The bone was a part Screech gnawed on, specifically. Working for Von Neuman has opened up further avenues for advanced materials as well.

Rad-Tolerant - Too many trips to Glow City has made Kate pretty resistant to radiation. This isn't necessarily a good thing...

Resistant to Pathogens and Toxins - Kate has a pretty hardy constitution from her military service, and years of eating bad food.

Reverberant - Kate has had a knack for understanding and using technology. There appears to be more than meets the eye with her abilities.

Ronin - Kate lives and dies by the sword.

Sensei - Kate took to the blade and is an avid student. But she saw the opportunity to learn from a master, and is taking personal lessons from Nameless.

Shock Abrogation Training - Kate's body is extremely resilient. Ware makes it even stronger.

Shoot First, Don't Ask - Kate is trained in close quarters combat and infiltration, providing her with the experience to handle surprising situations.

Special Modifications 2 - Kate has a history using various firearms and can customize them to be very effective. Kate has Specmods for two weapons.

Tough as Nails (Physical) III - Strong as the mountain!

Tough as Nails (Stun) I - Kate takes a lot of hits. She doesn't have metal limbs to depend on, so she relies on her natural toughness.

Toughness - Taking all these shots for other people makes you stronger.

Trajectory Mastery - Kate isn't a long shot marksman, but her use of firearms is second nature.

Vehicle Empathy - 108 Octane runs in Kate's blood. Her reflexes outside rigging are rarely matched.

Will to Live III - Kate's iron will carries her through the toughest fights.

Negative

Addiction(Mild) Kamikaze - Man that stuff is good. A little too good maybe?

Addiction(Mild) Guts - Kate's fearless. But magic presents a problem that even the most ironclad minds have trouble with.

Carrier (HMHVV II, HMHVV III) - Kate became infected when she was 29. She fought off the virus, but became a carrier. Kate picked up Strain II when she was 39 from a pirate. She is very careful wherever she goes now.

Code of Honor - Akichita Code - Kate follows the values of honor popular in the NaN. One of her favorite places outside of Seattle is LA, and her frequent time spent there has led her to adopt some of the values they hold.

Lack of Focus - Kate has ADHD.

No Man Left Behind - It had taken this long for a fellow Runner to not make it out. The effect on Kate was profound. We all know the job is dangerous, but when it happened it really put it in perspective. Kate will make sure it doesn't happen again.

Phobia(Uncommon, Mild) - Having her Chemseal broken in combat - Kate had a real scare of infecting Wychking with her blood. Than CANNOT happen again.

SINner(CAS) - Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina.

Thousand-Yard Stare - Kate spent most of her adult life in the Navy, and has a problem dealing with civilians. Kate has been out of the Navy long enough. She has learned how to interact with civilians much better.

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.
