• Spoiler: Background

  Elinor's parents, in fact most of her extended (and very large) family, are still on the family-owned and -run farm in south Georgia. If you're a local, you've probably heard of the Halls as they're the main food producers in the area, and a good source of honest work (for the most part, they'd rather receive work in trade than money, as there's little they want and few stores anyway). They're goodhearted, sturdy country folk (the occasional book-smart individuals like Elinor crop up only rarely), who take people as they find them, especially those willing to pull their fair share. That would probably have included Zentraedi, but there just aren't any in that rural an area!
  
  Elinor herself has known she wanted to be a pilot ever since she first saw a jet flying by overhead, and started lessons as soon as she could find an instructor. She loves to push her aircraft to the limit, so becoming a test pilot, as her flight instructor recommended, was a natural progression. Her instructor being retired RDF himself, he was able to get her an interview that led to a university scholarship with the understanding that she'd join the military upon graduation (though as the timing worked out, that meant Army of the Southern Cross instead of RDF). All the studying that was required for that came fairly easily to her, even with the heavy course load she preferred. Social life went by the wayside, but that was all right with her - weekend pickup games of basketball, volleyball, or soccer, or a few hours at her Jeet Kune Do kwoon (school) or practicing gymnastics at the gym, were enough to refresh her for the next hard-core week of engineering classes. And, of course, as much flight time as she could fit in.
  
  Quiz questions/answers:
  
  Spoiler

  1. Describe your butt. (Small? Flat? Round and healthy? Be honest!):
  *stares blankly for a moment, then goes to find a mirror and check herself out* ...Looks OK to me. Not fat, not flat. Glad to know I'm not gettin' desk-butt from all the cockpit time I've had lately.
  
  2. List your close family with a heartfelt description of each:
  You got some time? This is gonna take a while...
  First off there's Mom and Dad. The farm actually belongs to them, seeing as Dad's the oldest male in the family with Grampa Will gone, and that's how the Halls pass it down. Dad's a true-heart farmer, like Grampa Will was and most of Dad's sibs (and mine, for that matter). There's nothin' he don't know how to do on our farm, and if he can't do it himself, he's not afraid to say so and get someone else to help him. Mom's family was farmers too, but most of them moved back to town after the attacks, them not having so much usable land by then as we did. Her parents stayed though (Gramma Sue and Grampa Frank), they and Gramma Emmie (that's Dad's mom) and Great-Aunt Joey (that's Grampa Will's sister) gettin' along pretty well and Gramma Sue and Grampa Frank not wantin' to resettle again, so they just combined the two farms into one big one. Mom's brothers Jack and Chris stayed too; they look after the orchards that were mostly what was left of their family's farm. There's a heap of Dad's sibs still here too, though a couple went to town with Mom's that didn't stay. Uncle Andy and his wife May and their kids handle the cows; Uncle Joe takes care of the horses, Uncle Steve and his kids take care of the pigs, and Aunt Alice looks after the goats and whatall other animals turn up. Except the cats, they pretty much look after themselves except when they've gotten hurt or something. Uncle Pete went to school and got his veterinary degree, and Aunt Sally is his assistant, so they handle all that for us.
  Then there's my sibs: Will's named for his grandpa, and went off to school and got his meteorology degree. He says weather's more interestin' than cowshit anyday, and I can't say as I disagree, but I'd rather fly in the sky than stare at it myself. Takes all kinds I guess, and he's happy enough doin' weather for all us in the area, and he's not too proud to lend a hand wherever it's needed (even cleanin' out the stables, for all he don't like it). Ed, John, and Kate are the others older 'n me, and like Dad and his sibs they belong heart and soul on the farm. They and Uncle Joe's wife and kids do for the fields. My younger brothers Rob and Freddie do too, but I'm thinkin' Freddie's goin' off to school when he gets old enough. Wants to study all the agricultural things they can teach at university, not just what gets handed down around here, and see what works and what doesn't for us. Rob will probably stay here unless he gets that music scholarship he's hopin' for. I'm hopin' for it too; he does right pretty on fiddle and flute, and I just know he'll learn anythin' they want to teach him. Maybe I can help with that too; not like I spend all I'm makin' as it is, and he's got a couple-few years before he finishes high school.
  
  3. Discuss your favorite mecha and why it is your favorite:
  The Valkyrie, definitely. She's sweet to fly, fast and agile and oh-so-responsive! It's like I just have to think it, and she does it.
  
  4. Discuss your least-favorite mecha along with your reasons:
  That big ol' slowpoke groundpoundin' MAC tank. Nothin' against them or their pilots, but God made me a pigeon hawk, not a turtle.
  
  5. Describe one of your favorite meals and why you like it:
  Beef brisket, green beans 'n bacon, applesauce, cornbread, and sweet iced tea. There's nothin' that says "home" as good as that.
  
  
  6. What was the last song you really enjoyed?
  You know, I'm mostly an "Old Kind of Rock and Roll" girl. We do a lot of that kind of good ol' rock on our farm. Mom likes more classical stuff though, and got me into Mozart of all things.
  
  7. If you could visit anywhere in Florida, where would it be?
  Kennedy Space Center, if it's still visitable. There's gotta be somethin' still there, those rockets weren't exactly made of paper! So much history and triumphs of engineerin' and mankind's own doggedness all in one little island, I'd just really love to see it and walk around in it.
  
  8. If you could get a kiss from anyone, anywhere, who would it be?
  Grampa Will. I miss him a lot.
  
  9. If you could mind-control all of the Malcontents, what would you have them do?
  Make 'em all settle down peacefully somewheres. A farm might be good for that, come to think of it. Honest work never hurt anyone and it'd keep 'em busy, that's for sure.
  
  10. Write down whatever is on your mind.
  I don't think it'd parse well in English, and I can't find the symbols on this keyboard to get it right anyway. Been studyin' for that principles of aerodynamics refresher, see, and my head's all full of math and wind shear and wing angles and... well, you get the picture. That's probably why I've got Mozart in my head today; he just helps my brain flow well when I'm doin' complex calculations.

  Current equipment:
  Suit, pistol, and rifle as provided by Broadsword
  LAR-10C Laser Carbine with adjustable sling.
  2 handsome T-9 12.7mm Pump Pistols each with a leather holster and 3 boxes of ammunition. Upon close inspection, 1 out of 3 of these boxes contain 24 M.D. shells while 2 boxes contain 24 S.D.C. shells each.
  6 high-quality survival knives with brown sheaths. These were Marine K-Bar knives in mint condition and legendary for their dependability.
  20 fully-charged e-clips (in a handy Eglin Special Forces duffle bag, along with the pump pistols, their ammo boxes, and 5 of the K-Bars)
  
  Starting equipment:
  1. Choice of CBR Mk. 2E (light or heavy).
  
  Spoiler

  CBR Mk. 2E Combat Armor Environmental Hardsuit
  CBR environmental hardsuits are descended from the UEDF's CHR-1 Hazardous Environment suit. Advances in materials as well as environmental systems have allowed the ASC to capitalize on the fully sealed armor idea, providing a sturdy, relatively lightweight suit that fully protects the wearer from hostile environments. Worn by aerospace pilots, combat divers, and TSC naval infantry, these suits consist of a fully articulated, positively pressurized hardsuit that is worn much like a spacesuit or hard diving suit. The suits are made primarily of ceramic composite plates that lock together with flexible joints that provide the wearer with both flexibility and protection. Environmental suits do not utilize a unisuit, but instead have all the standard features integrated into a built-in lining. Mk. 2E environmental hardsuits come in light and heavy varieties and vary in style and color depending on service branch.
  Features of All CBR Environmental Armor:
  1. Full Environmental Shielding: CBR full environmental hardsuits are positively pressurized and proofed against radiation, chemical and biological agents. These suits have an internal computer that runs the life support systems and a built-in oxygen tank good for two hours of use fully buttoned up. The oxygen supply can be extended indefinitely by drawing in outside air and filtering it through the integral scrubbers, or with external oxygen packs.
  2. Heat and Fire Resistance. CBR hardsuits are nearly impervious to extremes of temperature up to 2,000 degrees F (1,093 degrees C) and down to -300 degrees F (-184.4 degrees C). These suits are also fireproof and take no damage from normal fires (campfires, bonfires, house fires, vehicle fires, etc.). Nuclear fires, napalm and plasma fires all deal normal damage.

  2. Choice of shield type (light, medium, or heavy).
  
  Spoiler

  CB-S Tactical Shields
  Made of the same ceramic alloys as the CBR body armors, the CB-S shields give a soldier an extra level of protection against both melee and ranged attacks. Used by a number of branches within the ASC, these shields come in light, medium and heavy types, and vary in color and style to match the armor they come with. CB-S Tactical Shields are used by most of the ASC, with the exception of the Navy Division, Tactical Air Force, Civil Defense Flying Corps, and the Tactical Corps Mountain Division.
  Light Shields: 25 M.D.C. Weight: 5 pounds (2.25 kg). +1 to parry.
  Medium Shields: 40 M.D.C. Weight: 10 pounds (4.5 kg), -5% to skills that require manual dexterity (Pick Locks, Demolitions, Field Surgery, etc.) +1 to parry.
  Heavy Shields: 55 M.D.C. Weight: 15 pounds (6.75 kg), -10% to skills that require manual dexterity (Pick Locks, Demolitions, Field Surgery, etc.) +2 to parry.
  
  Special Features of Shields:
  Spotlights: Shields worn by the TSC, TASC, TCDD, TCCD, and TCFD contain tiny, high intensity xenon floodlights with a 300 foot (91.4 m) range. These lights are powered by a rechargeable power cell with a six hour life-span.
  Integral Weapon Sheath: The Heavy shield worn by the GMP has an integral sheath to carry the S-11 Stun Baton.The sheath locks the baton in place so that it can't slip out during vigorous activity.
  GMP Officer's Weapon Sheath: The shields of GMP officers carry a short sword (2D4 S.D.C. damage) in place of the Stun Baton.
  3. Your sidearm is the IPP-5H Heavy Ion Pulse Pistol. You begin with 3 E-clips (two on your hip, one in the weapon), holster, 2 magazine pouches, and cleaning kit.

  4. Tactical Jump Pack (requires no skill proficiency to operate; only practice. Your characters are experienced in its use having been trained here on Eglin ASC base).
  
  Spoiler

  Tactical Jump Pack (TJP)
  The TPJ is common among Search and Rescue and Tactical Assault units of the ASC Paramilitary Forces. Powered by a high-capacity, rechargeable gel-cel battery, the TJP produces thrust via two miniature, high-output ducted fans. While incapable of true flight, the TJP is very quiet and capable of propelling an armored soldier hundreds of feet up or across. The Jump Pack is controlled by a handled, hard-wired remote similar to the one used by the Flight Pack.
  Speed:
  Power Leaping: With a running start, the soldier can use the TJP to cover distances or reach good height. By combining leaping and running, the soldier can achieve and maintain a speed of about 60 mph (96 km). However, "power leaping" or "jump running" as it is sometimes called, tires the soldier the same as if he was running across the ground, and the act of leaping means he misses the details of his surroundings as he hurls past them; -3 of Perception Rolls. The soldier can control the thrusters with good accuracy and can stop in mid-leap, change direction, hover for a couple seconds, and land softly to avoid jolts and damage to the knees and spine.
  Limitations and Penalties: In addition to the -3 on Perception Rolls while jump running, this type of leaping or bouncing travel can be maintained through light forest or brush, but when traveling through anything denser the soldier incurs the following additional penalties: -1 on initiative, -2 on Perception Rolls (cumulative), and -1 to strike, parry and dodge due to limited vision, his speed of travel, and jarring movement. Power leaping is discouraged in fog as one cannot gauge where he is leaping or landing.
  TJPs are idea for urban environments where the soldier can use the Jump Pack to rocket to the rooftop or an upper floor of a building, slow the descent of a fall, right himself and land on his feet like a cat, and to dodge Bioroids and incoming attacks.
  M.D.C.: 35
  Flying Speed: Not applicable, the Jump Pack is incapable of flight.
  Range: The Tactical Jump Pack can propel a soldier in full body armor up to 200 feet (61 m) up or 450 feet (137 m) across.
  Bonuses: +2 to dodge and +2 to roll with impact.
  Carrying Capacity: 350 pounds (157.5 kg), enough to propel a fully armored soldier with full field gear. The pack can carry more, jump ranges are reduced by 40%.

  8. 4 flares
  9. Two sets of duty fatigues
  10. One dress uniform
  11. Survival pack (includes 4 packs of Meals Ready to Eat or M.R.E.s and a 2-liter air-tight canteen).
  12. Binoculars (small, compact)
  13. Medical gear for trained individuals:
  13a. Characters with the First Aid skill receive a basic military medical kit.
  13b. Characters with the Holistic Medicine skill receive a compact bag packed with fresh ingredients, herbs, salves, and all items also contained in a basic first aid kit.
  13c. Characters with the Paramedic receive an intermediate medical kit (complete with painkillers and high-quality items).
  13d. Characters with the Medical Doctor skill receive a Doctor's Bag which includes everything the intermediate kit contains plus room for whatever else the doctor sees fit to travel with, including a small watch-computer that fits around the patient's wrist, automatically providing that patient's blood pressure, heart rate, and other necessary numbers.
  NOTE: If your character is a Medical Doctor, you get the Doctor's Bag (only), not all three kits/bags for having First Aid and Paramedic. The only exception to this is if your character also has the Holistic Medicine skill, in which case your character receives both (the Holistic Medicine Bag can readily fit into the Doctor's Bag. This means you, Psychie. =) ).
  
  Other equipment of note:
  Aside from her assigned gear, Elinor usually also has a Swiss army knife, a book of matches, a small roll of duct tape, a handful of change, and an extra pair of socks tucked into her pockets somewhere.
  Clothes: Besides from her uniforms, Elinor has a couple pairs of blue jeans (one very old and worn), a couple pairs of long cargo pants, several white or gray t-shirts, some plaid flannel shirts (red/green, green/black, blue/gray), possibly too many pairs of sturdy socks, and hiking boots (well-used and well cared for). She also has a yellow, short-sleeved, cotton dress that her mother insisted she bring, along with its matching ballet-style flats.
  Fishing tackle: Elinor has a tackle bag that holds just about everything she needs while fishing, including a folding pole (though she prefers her regular one, it doesn't travel easily), extra spools of line, a very sharp utility knife, and the knives and such she uses to clean the fish with, along with assorted lures, hooks, etc. She also has a smallish cooler (about this size) for bringing lunch out or fish back. For longer trips, she has a canvas backpack that can hold the tackle box, a first-aid kit, a folding camp grill, extra matches, a small cast-iron frying pan, a small jar of canola oil, a box of quart-size Ziplock baggies, and several forks (none of which match).
