Killjoy

As a member of the second generation of Mechwarriors among the dragoons, Amari’s spent her life preparing for the day she’d take a mech’s controls. Yet no matter how high she tested the older Dragoon warriors always treat Killjoy like a second rate apprentice. Maybe that’s why she pushes herself so hard in every exercise. Each simulated kill means more than just a notch on her belt, and the vets won’t be able to dismiss her forever.

Early Life
Rarely do the old Dragoons choose to have children. Not many are willing to ask why. Amari was one of those exceptions to the rule. While no one among the Wolf’s Dragoons has said anything against her, there’s still a definite gap newcomers can’t fathom. After all she applied herself almost fanatically to becoming a Mechwarrior. No one was surprised to find Amari made it to Apprentice though it was as an Apprentice to her mother. As time lagged waiting for a mecha of her own Amari became more aggressive in the simulators. Opponents started to find themselves not beaten so much as utterly crushed to Amari’s obvious delight.

The final indignity was a double blow. When her father was lost in a pirate attack his mech was still salvageable. The worn old Hunchback was put through the repair bay for over a standard month then assigned to another, younger warrior. Killjoy was told to return to her duties, that everything in the Dragoons was for the good of the Dragoons. She was told to serve, not demand. It’s hard to claim a Trial of Possession when you haven’t a mecha of your own to field.

Current Events
Epsilon Regiment’s need for mechwarriors was Killjoy’s golden ticket. Even in a light mech, even if picked last, she would still be a mechwarrior. If there’s one thing the old Dragoons can’t, and won’t, deny it’s a warrior’s battle record. Now that she’s been assigned to the Fenrir the universe will have to watch out.

= Personality = Killjoy is used to being the underdog. That’s why she keeps her Battle Record posted over her bunk where she can see. Every opponent, every trial, is a new chance to prove herself. No longer satisfied with acceptance, Killjoy competes for the thrill of winning. This sometimes makes it difficult to work her into a group where individual success doesn’t always translate into victory.
