I needed to copy/paste my character to remember everything about them. Hope that is okay.

Name: Nina
Surname: Ek
Nick*:
Age: 28
Motto*:

Physical build: (Can be a picture of the character, a description or both)



Nina was born to a native american mother and a Swedish father. Her first name means "Strong" and her last name means "Oak" in English. Lean athletic build Nina has thick black hair and cool grey eyes, and olive skin that is partially covered with tattoos and some scars. She always carries twins pistols and a sword and generally an indifferent expression.

Psychological profile: Often detached due to past trauma Nina can come off as cruel upon first impression. She is pragmatic and makes the best decision even if it is not the "right" one. Spend some time with her and be surprised that she can open up and be quite funny, with the help of some wine she might even act a bit foolish. Trained in a multiple fighting style Nina has hones her talents to survive becoming a scavenger in a harsh world. She has killed more and lost more than she cares to count, takes no joy in it, but understands the necessity of her actions.

She follows no strict teaching, but often meditates and communes with nature to mind calm and peace in the chaos. Her focus has gifted her intuition far beyond most people in regards to the nature of people, animals and the world.

Background:

Sheltered for much of her childhood Nina was always told by her parents that the world was a brutal place and trained her daily in body and mind for what would come some day. Her mother Olathe would sit with her and talk about that more often it is the mind that breaks first in this time and that hope is the most precious comdity humanity has. Her father Forseti rarely showed emotion, but was a driven man that pushed her physically to never falter and to manage her strengths and weaknesses to best an opponent. Both her parents taught her to survive by hunting, identifying food and collecting water and building shelter.

Despite all this a this a disease infested the local area and Nina at age 13 found herself desperately trying to save her dying parents. None of her remedies seem to subside the fever and after a month's struggle they both succumbed. Nina buried them, collected supplies in a backpack and took her fathers weapons (a sword and two pistols) along with ammunition. She had to leave as all around her was sickness and death and she feared for her own life.

Her time on the road molded and hardened her, living much of it on her own and fending off thieves and rapists Nina found herself having to hurt others in order to continue on. She only ever had company for a three year spell later on, but something happened to her companion that she never speaks about, although some times her dreams are filled with it and she mutters "David" in her sleep.

How did T.E.C.H. convinced you to join?*:

Tired and exhausted after several years on her own Nina was at a breaking point. T.E.C.H. offered her some sense of purpose and security she had not enjoyed in a long time. She had no idea if it was along or short term arrangement for her, but anything was better than the wasteland she spent most of her time enduring.

Belongings:
· A Compass-shaped artifact.
· T.E.C.H.’s self-defense Stunt Rods.
· An old blade of incredible durability passed down the Ek line for centuries
· Twin pistols with ammunition that she uses as last resort, but pack a punch dropping a man with one shot
· Survival kit with supplies

Character traits:
· Intuition - Can read people, the longer she is in someone's company the better she can know them. Her blood runs when she hears an lie uttered
· Focus - Enhanced senses of smell, sight and hearing
· Meditate - Able to reach into other planes, even at times sensing and hearing the dead
· Survival - Able to hunt, cook, and manage most illnesses and wounds

Likes*:

Honesty, beef jerky, animals, and sunny days.

Dislikes*:

Deceit, processed food, most people, and snow.

Extra info*:

Nina keeps a diary in a bag that she keeps notes and even dabbles in poetry. She is not keen to share this with anyone, much like her prized jerky.
