Arlanni

Your Name (aka your OOC persona): Arlanni (Syn Heller on BDV)

How did you hear about The 'Verse Online: Naniko mentioned being on another site in the BDV shoutbox once, so I googled for Firefly/Serenity RP plus Naniko.

Character Name: Tanith Jones

Ship Applying For: Darwin

Character Occupation: Mechanic

Age (of the character): 32

Appearance: Tanith is 5' 5 3/4”, with a slender, athletic build. She dresses rough and casual most of the time, and never in a feminine style. She's the sort of person who would cause double takes if she ever appeared in a dress. Those unfamiliar with her might assume she's always in a serious, if not dark mood, from her usual facial expression and the intensity of her eyes.

Attributes and Skills: Tanith has a strong natural aptitude for mechanical work and design, displaying an early ability that fast tracked her into advanced study and recognition. She is adept with computer systems and the cortex, not as a hacker, but as a professional user for her design work and research. She is intelligent and strong minded. While having no military or combat experience, she has a strong athletic build, and would be tough, if not greatly skilled in a fight. While she may appear forbidding to those who don't know her, especially those who don't share her interests, she can be socially adept in the right circles. She has a number of friends in technical positions here and there, including in places like Blue Sun and the military.

First Impression: Tanith gives the impression of being all business, serious and intense. This impression might last, or might end quickly depending on the company and circumstances.

Under the Surface: Once one knows her better, they usually realize how many tracks her mind is usually running on, and how much of her closed off demeanor is simply her attention being divided. She is most open with those who share her interests and aptitudes.

Deep Dark Self: While she isn't driven by fame and recognition, she is definitely driven by the need to find and overcome challenges and to test and expand her limits and abilities.

Public / Common History: Tanith grew up in a military family, in Alliance base housing on a variety of postings. She displayed sufficient aptitude in mechanical subjects that she was placed in a special program in school, which culminated in her earning a technical scholarship at the age of 17 by successfully answering a design challenge posed by the Alliance and Blue Sun. This led to her obtaining a master's degree in mechanical engineering.

Unknown History: Tanith has dated , but has always been too focused on her work for anything serious to develop. Her parents, both military, went off to war four years after she won her scholarship, both returning as decorated veterans. Some considered her to be cold during those years, with the intensity she threw herself into her studies, as if barely remembering her parents were off at war, but this was the only way she could deal with the stress, and it set up a pattern of using work to deflect or delay deeper issues.

Secret History: Since obtaining her degree, she has designed and built unique cutting edge equipment to the specifications of a single client, all of which is highly classified.

Strengths: She is highly intelligent and creative, with both tremendous aptitude and professional training and experience in mechanical design and invention as well as mechanical work. She is capable of great focus and discipline in completing a task or engaging a challenge. Physically, she is fit and athletic. While not combat trained, she carries a handgun for self defense and has practiced with it sufficiently to be a decent shot.

Weaknesses: Her ability to focus on a project can consume her attention, leading her to work until exhaustion sets in. Even if she takes a break from her work, a particularly engaging project can be a constant source of distraction until it's done.
