Extras: Katya is an atmospheric transport pilot, one of the few men and women who risk their lives to fly supplies and Gear-mechs between the Tester's bunkers and cities. She was born after the events of 2120 and has known no life before the colossal wasteland, constant wars and terrifying Megas.
Physically she looks like a fairly typical wasteland Lynx, with sandy-grey fur, long tufted ears and a fluffy bob tail. Hard work shaped her body well in her younger years, but a relatively easy life has since made for a rather chunkier lynx. She is generally light-hearted and friendly but has little experience of the world outside the bunkers.
Design: The pilot suit and Katya's general style looks something like this...
Far above the wasteland a pair of gunships soared overhead, two blunt-nosed smudges sillhouetted against the blue sky. Inside the cockpit Katya S'jet watched the desert roll past endlessly beneath her. It was beautiful from up here. Rust coloured sand stretched to the horizon, dotted by silver giants of old skyscrapers. The wasteland shimmered in the mid-day heat.
"S'jet, turn us two degrees more to the north... Hey S'jet?" The voice of her co-pilot snapped Katya abruptly out of it. She adjusted the controls without a word and the muffled sound of engines responded. Beside her the reflective visor of her co-pilot turned to glance across at her. "You ok Captain? Looks like I caught you day-dreaming again, not going soft are you?"
Katya wrinkled her nose into a scowl as she replied, "Just admiring the view... You keep an eye on our bearing." The lynx sighed and looked down again over the wing as the gunship banked to turn north.
A sudden flash caught her eye... Somewhere on the ground, a trail of smoke streaked up towards the aircraft...
With a shout Katya pulled up on the controls, just as the warnings blared in the cockpit
[[MISSILE LOCK! ... MISSILE LOCK!]] ... Then came the ear-splitting explosion. The aircraft rolled, flames and black smoke pouring out of the engines as it started to spin out of the air like a stricken bird. Through the windshield Katya helplessly watched the wasteland rushing up to meet them, sweat beading on her brow as her fingers scrabbled against the ejector handle. The canopy burst open to a roaring rush of air and the parachute wrenched her out by the shoulders as it unfolded with a snap.
(Hope ya don't mind a slightly longer intro, just felt like joining in on some RP action again
