— HEIGHT&WEIGHT: 5'10"/~155lbs ( I'm no weight expert, so if this would be incorrect feel free to tell me )
— NOTABLE FEATURES:
appearanceKate is a fairly tall, built woman with broad shoulders. She is noticeably pale, although due to stylistic choice she appears literally #FFFFFF. Because this isn't brought up in canon, it's important for me to stress she isn't as chalk white as she looks in her icons; she's only supposed to be "unusually" pale to others. (I know. It's fucking weird.) In both games she's in, her blond highlights have faded, more so at C&C.
Her posture tends to vary between relaxed and military straight, though much of this depends on her mood or what she's doing. Kate tends to favour black and red clothes, as well as belly shirts and tight jeans. In the comfort of her own home, she wears T-shirts and sweatpants. When wearing make-up, she dons heavy eye shadow and a red lipstick/nail combo that contrasts with her complexion. Basically, she is rocking the rockabilly look.
▮ MASK OR MENACE: her fashion sense is more or less the same as canon. She doesn't own as many expensive outfits, shoes, or jewelry as she does back home due to essentially living a working class lifestyle in game. TBA.
▮ EXSILIUM: also unable to afford or even obtain expensive clothes due to the setting. Frequently wears black and/or red clothes when she ventures out, sweatpants, and a T-shirt combo in her apartment, and another pair for working out or she dons an old leotard. Make-up and jewelry is minimal, but she still goes for the raccoon eyes when she can.
abilitiesGYMNASTICS ▪ Wikipedia defines gymnastics as: "a sport involving the performance of exercises requiring physical strength, flexibility, power, agility, coordination, grace and balance." From early youth, Kate has been active and was senior elite in this sport. She has presumably mastered much of its disciplines and that allows her to perform probably physics defying acrobatics because comics.
FIGHTING ▪ she's been trained since before her West Point days, as admission and the academy itself is no easy feat. Here is the admissions requirements page and here is the Qualifying Medical Exam and CFA requirements.
She's been trained advanced military combat, with her father's connections extending to ex-S.A.S., intel, and various others. Kate has been trained in and by experts in (JESUS THIS LIST):
▮ knives, other hand-to-hand weapons, extensive survival
▮ mixed martial arts, western and eastern martial arts, cage fighting
▮ hacking and encrypting ( mostly low grade )
▮ demolitions
▮ small arms
▮ covert ops
▮ interrogation and deduction
▮ forensics
▮ first aid
MASK OR MENACE ▪ the Porter has granted her three abilities.
▮ enhanced durability/endurance▮ power nullificationwithin a twenty meter radius she can disable all abilities.
EXSILIUM ▪ in game, she has weaponized herself and will rely both physical and inner strength of her own. Throughout her time spent in Exsilium, her training and experience in battle will allow her to grow physically and mentally stronger and sturdier.
Currently, she's able to break down walls if she pushes herself or isn't careful enough and lift double her own weight. Any hits she takes don't sting as much if they aren't proper or thrown feebly.
the uniformKate's uniform is a black and red themed cowl. She wears a long haired red detachable wig and a mask that conceals her face save for her mouth. The cape, described as "Dracula-esque" is incredibly long, but you'll never catch her tripping over it, heh!! Overall, her outfit is highlights her almost vampiric femininity, but cuts an imposing figure.
▮ the suit is lined with shear thickening compound allowing it to be flexible and stab resistant and bulletproof.
▮ the cape is a nanotube composite. Strong and light, weighted at the ends of it.
▮ bio-monitors in the torso that tie into the GPS and radio. Everything is recorded and made into transcripts usually back in the "heart" at the Kane penthouse. Encrypted. This isn't entirely relevant at Exsilium.
▮ the mask is protective and thick. Allows for enhanced audio around the ear slots.
▮ gloves with texturized ribbing for enhanced gripping on hard/smooth surfaces.
▮ gauntlets have detachable bracer points used as throwing weapons. Light enough to be tossed through the air, but sharp/strong enough to pierce into metal and cut skin.
▮ combat boots. Also allows for excellent gripping on slippery surfaces.
▮ utility belt that carries: flashlight, lock picks, pepper gas gun, grappling gun, untraceable cell phone, and handcuffs. |
