Created by: Kate
Malloy
Age: 21
Height: 5'8"
Physical Appearance: Karine has chin-length black hair, gray eyes,
and
glasses. She's rather on the sturdy side;
it's mostly muscle, but call her "almost a
little
overweight" and you'll be staring down a spearpoint. She usually wears
a
sleeveless, high-necked turquoise shirt and a pair of
somewhat ragged blue jeans.
If she's cold, she'll put
on a hooded sweatshirt, but that's it.
(Presumably, if
she were going to the northern continent, she'd wear
something more sensible.)
Birthdate: January
1
Alignment: The Other
Weapon:
Garm Lance, the second in her series of Norse mythologically-named
spears. Has five Materia slots, currently all
filled.
Spell Materia: Restore Level 2 - Cure2
Time Level 1 - Slow
Transform Level 1 - Mini (has also been used for
chibification)
Lightning Level 1 - Bolt1
Command Materia: Steal Level
1 - Steal
Limit Breaks:
Western Wind (Level 1-1)
- Karine rushes forward at such a speed that she
literally creates blades of wind with her spearpoint. This move
can hit a
closely gathered group of opponents for high
damage. Air elemental, takes
weakness and
resistance into account.
Eastern Earth (Level 1-2) - Karine jabs her spear into the
ground and
creates an earthquake that hits all
opponents for high damage. Earth elemental, takes
weakness and resistance into account, and does not work on flying
adversaries.
Quotes:
"We're going to end up doing
this the hard way, aren't we?"
To Kizn - "If I find you
nibbling on any of my posessions, I don't care
*how*
cute you are; you're going to be having a meeting with the business end
of
my spear!"
On AVALANCHE - "They're a bunch of terrorist idealists, strange
as it may
sound. People just aren't going to give
up their creature comforts even if they
know the
consequences. They'll leave it for future generations to deal with.
Trust me, I was of them, and I know a lot more."
On Shinra - "They wanted me to spend the rest of my life
traveling between
a tiny cubicle in a dingy office
building and a tiny flat in a dingy
appartment
building. I told them Icicle Inn would thaw out before I'd do
*that!*"
On Jenova - "Wasn't that one of Shinra's weird research
projects? I'm not
getting involved with any of
their stuff."
Karine is an odd mix of contrasts. She's stubborn, she's
impatient, and
she doesn't seem to care about anything
beyond having a good time in her
travels. Yet at
the same time, she's intelligent, she's clever, and she has an
strange tolerance, even perhaps a liking, for extremely cute things (she
gets along
with Kizn oddly well).
She grew up in a fairly well-to-do family in Midgar (they had a
nice
cramped apartment on the Plate rather than living
in the slums) and went to
basically the Midgar
equivalent of a tech school. Graduating from that school was
supposed to send her directly to a job in Shinra... however
instead of
taking that job and making her family proud,
she flipped 'em the bird and went off
to see the
world. She's been wandering around for a year or two, barely
scraping by (monster hunting does provide a small but steady
income), but she claims
she's having a lot more fun
doing that than she would living in Midgar.
Her time
wandering and hunting has made her a pretty competent fighter, plus
she still has her skills from tech school, though they may be
a bit rusty.
She works for the Other pretty much simply because she
dislikes/doesn't
care about the remaining three
sides. Of course, she might not exactly realize
that she's working for the Other quite yet...
Lately she also seems to have gained a conscience, something
she thought
she'd lost a while ago. Or is there
another explanation for her sudden feelings
of remorse
when she's acted particularly nasty? And what exactly do those
mysterious messages she's been getting in her dreams lately,
like "You have
two souls, and one exists in two
worlds," mean?
