- Age:
28 - Height:
5'4" (1.62m) - solves her problems by punching them, and if punching doesn't work: shoot the problems.
- constantly told she can't smoke on the ship, but if she must, to do it in the airlock
- knows the most about the blackmarket and who to talk to in the criminal underworld.
- definitely participates in underground fighting rings, and isn't always upfront about her abilities when she does.
- Tries to keep this stoic and tough persona, but that falls away quickly.
- seems to be really good at not being around when she is needed.
- dislikes working just as much as Gus does, if not more.
- Gets into her own share of trouble, but gets everyone else out of trouble just as much.
- says "you don't want to meet my family" but her family is probably really welcoming and friendly which is really embarassing for her.
Bio & Personality
Rene is the newest of the three core crew members of The Merkavah. Probably the most straight forward of the three within the bound of her own beliefs, morals and motivations. She's only slightly more personable than Gus and won't hesitate to say what's really on her mind. Is mostly along for the ride and trying to steer clear of previous associates.
Physical Description
a psion that passes as human; has naturally denser bones and muscles as a side effect of her psionic abilities.
PSIONIC ABILITIES - can redirect energy through her body, which generally manifests as super strength. Also has the ability to absorb energy from external sources, however she cannot store energy indefinitely and has to "release" it to avoid taking physical damage (i.e. bone fractures/breaks, heatstroke or possibly external/internal burns and cells rupturing)
MODIFICATIONS - reinforced "long bones" (arms, legs) and spine which allows her to push the limits of what her body could naturally handle. Cybernetic implants offload overflow kinetic energy that her body can't immediately use and is a fail safe so she doesn't physically hurt herself.
Relationships & Connections
The three core crew members of The Merkavah are all emotionally closed off in their own ways, but they seem to understand each other and work well together despite constant bickering. End of the day, everyone understands that they are trapped on this ship together so working together is critical to everyone's survival and have come to consider the other two friends. Their skill sets are complimentary, they strive for equal say in decision making and responsibilities despite titles, which they treat as a formality until its time to pull rank.
- August Hans - they pretty strictly have a boss and employee type relationship.
- Cole Riley - bullies him for fun, but are friendly with each other from working together and because neither of them are as closed off as Gus.
- Extended Family - Rene comes from a large family who's in the mercenary business with ties to the criminal underworld. Rene's family has some reach within their immediate circles of influence, but it is relatively contained to a specific area/planet (with the except of the few family members who venture out)
- Ikamo - ends up being friendly with Ikamo since they have similar skill sets and are equally not as busy as everyone else during transit.
Background
(WIP) Rene likely set out on her own to try and put some distance between her and her family. Was able to get around by offering to be security/muscle aboard ships and then staying planet side if she was able to find work or someone who'd let her crash.
Brought aboard The Merkavah initially as a passenger (moving between locations), and was later given an offer to join the crew following a close call with a criminal faction (details are TBD). She's staying on the Merkavah "until something more interesting turns up" (nothing has yet).
Other
Rene has an abraisive exterior that doesn’t allow for any nonsense, but she is rooted in practicality, she is not the best company to keep, but she is a good, loyal friend with valuable opinions; Rene is able to absorb and redistribute kinetic energy through physical contact and has increased physical resistance, she is easily the most powerful member on the team
