"If you want to tag along, you best be paying me some coin, or I -won't- be pointing out where any of the traps are, and the moment the skeletons start swarming you...yeah, i'm walking away...probably with the sword you dropped because your crying like a girl with a skinned knee.
Backstory
"Seriously? Well fine. I was the only daughter of a blacksmith, and grew up around swords my whole life. See, when your fathers a smith and your mother is dead, you tend to become a bit more rough around the edges, especially when your the only little girl in the village itself, surrounded by boys only. Needless to say,bout when i was sixteen, my dad picked one of the village boys over me for apprenticeship....I packed my bags, grabbed my dad's prized sword off from the wall...and nearly stabbed him in his sleep. Nearly, mind you. Instead i just walked out of the house...out of the village...and into the wilderness.
...never really stopped walking. Luckily, though I had handled a blade before, so i was in no danger. Kind of an ego boost when I realized how easy it was to cut a bandit's head off...Lot easier then the guards seemed to be making it out to be. Course...I think a lot of the guards in the town were exaggerating.
Though, this sword swinging thing always did seem to come easy. But that's basically what my life has been ever since. Wandering around, trying to find the next fight, the next ruin to poke around in. Sounds dangerous, doesn't it? Well..I'm still here, aren't i?"
Abilities
She's not some magical being, or some amazing warrior with fire red hair, amazing boobs and the power to scream out profanities that make her foes explode. She's no stealthy assassin who can sneak up from behind and jam a spike into you, or a war hero hardened by battle...she's an adventurer...all her skills are made for one thing...survival.
Swordplay: Her swordplay isn't half bad, She can't especially win against a formally trained opponent, but most of the time she won't get into a straight fight with anyone anyway, fighting dirty whenever she gets the chance, looking for her opportunity.
Traps: If Kaitlyn has one specialty, its identifying traps. Years of mucking around in ruins for anything worth coin has taught her that it doesn't matter if its the modern or the ancient...everyone sets the same types of traps, and she knows how to disarm them...and set them back up for her own use.
Lockpicking: She's been doing this since she was six, as her father was known for making locks more then anything. Needless to say, even those amazingly high-secured 'puzzle locks' that royalty seem to put a ton of stock in will fall to her surprisingly nimble hands.
...shame she cant sneak worth a crap, or she'd make for a legendary thief.
Survival: If there is one thing she is good at, its her survial skills. She's handy enough with a bow and her traps that she can hunt down a meal. She knows just the right way to angle her hunting knife so that she doesnt ruin pelts as she is getting to the meat. She knows which herbs are for poisons and which are for healing. She can set a bone, resocket a shoulder and treat wounds and burns.
She's a surviver, through and through, and if you can convince her to let you travel with her...you'll never have to worry about the wilds again.
Tracking: She knows your tracks, and she knows where your going. Your not gonna hide from her long.
Items
Vladr: Her infamously legendary blade. The reason it is legendary is not the blade, but the material and means of its creation. Kaitlyn's great great great great grandfather was known for his smithing abilities in the way of blades, and one day an emperor came to him, wishing a blade to be fashioned from this odd white metal that he claimed to be from a star. The metal itself, though....was impossible to work. It would not melt, nore shape, nore enchant...It was almost as though the metal resisted all forms of work on it, till one days her ancestor snapped...and threw the metal straight into a molten pot of Iron......The metal abruptly melted, fusing with the iron, fashioning a new alloy that allowed him to pour the blade into the mold. Thus Vladr was born, impossibly sharp and nearly indestructable. But...by the time he had fashioned and sharpened the blade....The emperor had long since died, as had any form of payment for the blade...Needless to say, Vladr was passed down generation upon generation in her family, never to be sold for any reason.
The blade itself is a
Dadao, fashioned under eastern principals of curve and point-centric weight distribution. The blade is easily four feet in length, and nearly a foot wide at the thickest part, allowing for long, arcing slices and giving defensive options also. The metal also seems to be ever sharp and cannot be broken, though the blade is also very heavy from the alloy mix, tiring her out quite easily. The blade also has an...odd ability to conduct heat easily, making it a good cooking surface.
Bow(short): She has a simple short bow that she uses for hunting...and only hunting. She's really not that good with a bow at all, and never uses it if her life is in danger.
"Skeleton key": Something back from her life in the lockshop, she has a key that can -almost- open any lock with ease.
Locksmith kit: For those pesky puzzle locks, she can use this kit to easily open up to six locks at the same time. Useful for those paranoid ancient warlords who's vault needs multiple keys turned at the same time to open the door and not release the vicious monster.
Herb kit: She keeps a satchel on her back that can hold any herbs she finds, along with a mortar and pestle, in case she or someone else gets hurt.
Money belt: She keeps her gold in a money belt. It's an anti-pickpocket measure that forces someone to have to touch her skin to even get near it...and by the time they get -that- close, she's got her sword buried in their head.
Hunting knife: Used for more then just hunting, she relies on it for anything from cleaning her fingers, to gutting animals, to manipulating a lock...very versatile, but dull blade.
OOC
Adventure, Ruins, battle, swordplay...boobs! Sure she's got em. Mostly here for story rp though!
