Description
Name:Kroe
Age:
25
Height:
5'6" (168 cm)
Weight:
155lbs (70kg)
Gender:
Female
Species:
Irken
Bio:
She started as a normal irken, progressing normally through military training to become an Invader. Kroe was never outstanding in any way, but she was dedicated and took orders well. Eventually she earned the trust of her peers and superiors to the point where she was put in charge of leading a platoon to scout and clear out any opposition in a small section of an arid desert planet that had significant strategic value to the armada. Given how dead most of the planet was, her squad didn't expect to find anything beyond local fauna.
However, after a particularly hard day, her squad was ambushed by a well organized group of irken and vortian rebels. Half of her team was killed and the other half was taken for interrogation, herself included. She befriended a single vortian male who was passionate, but much less hostile than the bulk of her captors. He kept her sane and alive most of her time in the rebel base.
It was two months before any help arrived from the Empire's side. They ripped through the rebel base and killed most of Kroe's captors, her vortian friend included. When she was debriefed, she pieced together that the attack on the base had been simply to destroy the remaining opposition in the area, not to save her or any of her teammates. She also discovered she was the only one of her entire squad that left the planet alive.
When she arrived back on Irk, she was congratulated for staying alive then promptly stripped of Invader status, demoted back to a standard military grunt where she would have to redo most of her training. Outraged, Kroe fled, blowing up a nearby communications station and taking one of the employees there hostage.
Presently, she drags around her unwilling companion from planet to planet, trying to track down the leader of the rebel group who had taken her captive, as his corpse was reported as never having been recovered from the remains of the base. She also flees from the Empire's goons from time to time and random bounty hunters, taking odd jobs and traveling constantly to stay alive.
Personality:
Childish, bipolar, blunt, impatient. Kroe is often described as selfish or a bully. If she helps or saves someone, it is likely for her own personal gain in some way. She is quick to judge people and dish out criticism, but doesn't take well to getting a dose of her own medicine. While her actions are generally brash and without forethought, Kroe is tough and she can be smooth tongued and seducing if the situation calls for it. She loves to taunt and tease and enjoys stupid banter with others. Her flirtatious side can surface on occasion with guys/girls that catch her attention and it is possible she will hit on someone she's attempting to murder. It is rare to see her in a sympathetic state, but she can be if something strikes a nerve with her.
Strengths:
Kroe has a sharp eye and is good with smaller weapons such as pistols, giving her decent aim. She's agile and has great stamina, so she can walk for miles in a day. This agility also gives her the ability to run or climb in good time. While she's no master at stealth, Kroe's very good at knowing when to attack and when to retreat so she can wait her opponent out or recover herself. She aims to have quick offense and likes to get the upper hand on enemies by attacking first if she can. Kroe's not afraid to play dirty, attacking an opponent's eyes, groin, and other notable weak spots. She's also rather violent, which fuels a lot of her love for gore.
Weaknesses:
Monophobia makes it hard for her to go long periods by herself. For this reason, Kroe will want to stick close to any camera bots or sentient beings in the area. If desperate, she will seek out her opponent to alleviate this, meaning she may get sloppy in order to escape solitude. Paranoia is a major side effect of her going too long (a few days) without contact. In a good mental state, she may talk to herself or listen to music/radio frequencies to keep herself from losing focus. Physically, Kroe is not incredibly strong. Against someone her own height and weight, she may be able to take them on, but her hand-to-hand is underdeveloped and anyone bigger or stronger than her proves to be a threat. Given her specialty is quick offense, her defense is more weak and she will resort to running/hiding in the event that she is losing a battle. Another point of interest is that she is unarmored as she'd rather have speed versus being slowed down by armor.
Miscellaneous:
She has a need to decimate the PAKs of other irkens, mostly out of jealousy. She will not do this with every opponent necessarily, but it often times is her "signature" on those of her own kind. For other species or those without PAKs, she foregoes this ritual. PAK legs will especially outrage her and she sometimes forgets other irkens have them.
Besides this, she also has a terrible habit of allowing her tongue to stick out, most often popping out in mid air or when she's extremely pleased. There's no logical explanation for this other than she enjoys it.
Her supplies are stored in her PAK, she will need to hunt/find water supplies in her surroundings, the flashlight clip she carries can be attached to her clothing if she needs it. Her multimedia device plays music, though, she knows better than to give away her position by playing it loudly or at inappropriate times. It can also pick up on radio signals in the area. If her opponent is on a phone/transmitter/etc, she may be able to pick up their conversation.

One of these days...I'll learn not to wait until the last few hours of a deadline. One of these days...
So, yes, I'm going to try and keep up with TBF. I'm excited about the contestants and the prizes and I think there's going to be some interesting things going on here. I'm still in college and this happens to be starting up JUST AS THE SEMESTER BEGINS. But, I'm going to push myself. Even if I turn in a crap entry, I WILL go until I am eliminated. I hope. |D
Kroe again, because I haven't gotten a chance to flesh out this bitch's backstory. She's also the only character I have that would enter competitions all willy nilly. X'D
And, boy, this is a loooong stretch from my last OCT reference sheet of her. .__."

Like. Hot damn. Three years improvement. X'D

I swear, Kroe is like the best thing for my inspiration
I usually get reminded she exists and imagine a super lucrative story and several OCs that could do shit with her/romance her and etc and then I remember that shit isn't ever going to happen
But as a result, I've retained some cool characters from said stupid thought processes
It is like in every incarnation she's a massive psycho qt

This is so flattering to hear as a creator. XD
I'm glad she gets your imagination going! And, despite her no longer being in the IZ universe, you can sure bet I'll be doing plenty more with her. I've got a whole comic series I want to draw with her.
Massive psycho qt pretty much sums her up nicely.

Thank you! : 3
After she jumped ship, she went from disciplined to frayed in a matter of years. XD
Definitely looking forward to the audition and, moreso, the competition. >: 3 I shall see you there as well!

I've always been a fan of this character; she has such a simplistic yet original design. (:

Thank you! ;3; I wanted a sort of realistic deviation from the original Invader outfits. It also has to be simple just for the fact that I draw her so often. Good for comics and whatnot. Man, I feel for some of the entrants with detailed character outfits.

LiquidLeo In reply to oreog [2014-08-12 13:49:54 +0000 UTC]
Good idea. In past OCTs, I've been paired with suuuuper detailed OCs, which has made it quite...frustrating, to say the least. I normally would end up drawing like one page of a comic, then switching to writing because I would get so frustrated.
You're very welcome!

Exactly! It's no fun when you're so worked up about the details of a character's appearance, that you don't have time for the story. I tend to simplify other peoples' characters if they are tough to work with anyway. XP
