Name: DEA Officer Nita Burt Gender: Female, Straight Age/DOB: 25@RC, February 7, 19XX Origin: Aperturth, born somewhere in Texas, moved to St Louis as teenager Family: Father deceased, mother may still be alive, two older brothers status unknown, had been engaged but after the Resonance Cascade it's unlikely he is alive Other: Her fiancee's death or possible death has been the source of a lot of soul-searching and concern, and drove Nita to become a more grim and overly-focused gunslinger in the Rookery Height: 5'8" Weight: 130, quite muscular but hardly an ounce of fat on her, she drives herself very hard and is not just fit but scary; looks taller than she is because she's got long legs and is thin Hair: dark brown with reddish overtones, though it's curly she usually keeps it straightened and in a bun, it comes to her waist these days which surprises folks if they catch her before she's put it up Eyes: hazel grey, more stormy green than other shades, always behind anti-glare glasses, she does not require distance lenses but she does use a scope when she's working, and she hates to admit it but her close-up vision is garbage and needs a little help Appearance: lightly tan skin with a few scars from recent gunfights, can be found in any variety of clothing these days but she likes motorcycle leathers and keeping a bit of armor on her; she has the stoic look of any that have seen some shit, and... she's seen some shit. Nita hardly speaks to anyone but those she trusts, and her voice is a bit gritty, though it may be an affectation Genetic Abilities: None present Icarus Processing: None, shows negative markers so if she does ever have children (unlikely) they will need testing to see if they're appropriate |

Skills or Profession: Though Nita served as a computer programmer with the DEA, she's changed much of her focus with the Rookery. They have more than enough coders and researchers. She had a lot of hunting and shooting practice when she grew up, and actually could easily have passed sharpshooter training with the Marines - she spent 2 years in the Marines in Texas, so she knows military process and can identify, clean, and functionally use almost any weapon under the sun. She prefers her pair of disparate handguns, shotties, and sniper rifles in a pinch. She does have the ability to reprogram computers and robots in this weird west she now lives in, and helped set up the long range sensors and monitor stations before heading over to Primm. She absolutely can headshot a moving target at range, up close, or in their sleep if needed. She prefers them moving. | |
Personality: If Nita was ever 'happy', no one around her has ever seen it. While she's not hateful, she is pretty grim most of the time, unfriendly and suspicious at best. She will scope out a place and any people in it before entering it, and gets to the point whenever she speaks. She does have a sense of humor but it's quite dark. She is alert but not jumpy, and she is ...courteous to those who she sees as authority figures or those in need. Nita expects little in return for her work, she's actually more or less out there to shoot bad guys and mope. | |
Events or History: Growing up the youngest of three and keeping up with her brothers with ease, Nita didn't 'pretend' to play cops and robbers, she brought those bad boys in every single time. She was always a bit on the rough and gritty side, but after her stint in the Marines left her with a boyfriend of equally rough values, they moved up to St Louis and settled down to work. Her training in computers got her a very good gig with the DEA, rousting out meth labs and unhealthy sales of secondary-market Aperture branded goods. In the wrong hands, those things really could turn men into monsters after all. The Resonance Cascade three years before her arrival on the Rookery heralded a change in her, she knew that her fiancee, working as he did with the corrections department, hadn't made it out from the prison break - though she does know that the individuals roaming around these parts in MoCon are not responsible for his potential death - they were all opportunists at best, and besides they got out long after that break. She's seen friends turn into mantis men, and thinks that's... target practice now. Though she's more serious than ever, she does still show that odd sense of humor now and again. She showed up at Primm's Vikki and Vance Casino, reprogrammed the robotic Sheriff and though she doesn't 'run the town', she absolutely defends it with all her might. |
