□ Name: Katina Tarask
□ Journal: grandtheftmecha
□ Series: Super Robot Wars Original Generation
□ Canon point: After the end of Original Generation Gaiden
□ History: http://superrobotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Katina_Tarask
□ Personality: The first thing that comes to the mind of those who've met but don't really know Katina is anger. In fact, that often comes to the minds of her closest friends before anything else, though that's depending on her mood when they last met.

Actually, Katina is generally a friendly person, as long as things are going smoothly and discipline hasn't gotten too far out of hand (read: Tasuku being lazy, among other things). While she never ceases taunting her friends with little remarks, when she's in a good mood she gets along with almost everyone, and has a perfectly non-sadistic and bright smile when something awesome happens that isn't in battle. She has absolutely no complaints about everyone having a little fun and partying as long as it doesn't get out of hand (though she often overlooks Excellen's antics, a wise decision), is more likely to join in than people like Kyosuke and Sanger, and is actually more at ease with it than shy folks like Bullet.

So where does her reputation come from? Her temper. It's terrifying. She is, above everything else, a soldier, and values military discipline - and with the kind of teams she hangs out with, that's a tall order. Tasuku's being lazy about repairing mechs (even if it's not her Gespenst)? Laps! Push ups! *PAUNCH*! The worse things get, the angrier she gets, yelling like a drill sergeant at those causing the problems. And even then, it's not her friends who bare the brunt of her fury. In combat, Katina can become outright terrifying; aggressive and hot-blooded, she'll charge into a crowd of enemies in nothing more than her mediocre grunt suit, and somehow manage to make it work. Of course, her temper means that she can't operate well on her own in a Gespenst, leaving her allies to watch her back while she charges ahead of them. She prefers to pursue and ruthlessly crush a fleeing enemy, prefers to attack enemies that she was only supposed to be scouting, and prefers to throw captured enemy pilots in the brig and not trust them with a mech the very next day (or week, or even month), though she softens up on the last one after realizing that recruiting enemy pilots is actually working.

She's a total enforcer of discipline on base... and a total defiler of it in the field. Quite a conundrum.

Above all else, though, she wants to protect the Earth. Abrasive as she is, the reason she fights the way she does is because she doesn't want to leave anything that could harm her friends or the citizens of her home planet alive for very long at all, and her aggression is simply her making sure that all of the villains, aliens, and what have you are dealt with as quickly and violently as possible.
□ Age: 25
□ Gender: Female
□ Appearance: Tallish at 5’10”, and strong - Katina’s not buff, but she’s incredibly fit and it shows in her muscle tone, six pack and everything. Her blond hair is permanently molded in the shape of her helmet, and she takes very mediocre care of it, which is why it’s a mashed up mullety mess. She tends to not button up the front of her military uniform when she doesn’t have to, and dresses very casually with jeans and a t-shirt when she’s off duty.
□ Abilities/Powers: All she can really do is punch and pilot giant robots.
□ Personal Items: Her military uniform, her sidearm (just an average semi-automatic pistol) and her pilot suit with helmet. Dat’s it.

TEXT
So I’m still not totally sure how I feel about this place. On the one hand fuck, we were all kidnapped to have sex. It’s like sex trafficking without the payments or the being locked in a room. The people here are pretty much insane, and most of you guys are only a little more sane than the natives, and I’m only a little more sane than some of you, and none of that works. Their idea of entertainment is more porn and sex and I’m not always in the mood! I need more action movies and shit.

On the other hand, I hadn’t gotten laid in ages and I had no idea how much I needed it.

□ Third Person Sample:

This whole city’s a pain in the ass. A colossal pain in the ass and now she’s thinking about the actual things that have been done to her ass that are painful and she can’t even swear inside her own head without thinking about sex, THANKS A LOT Ariel. There’s been a lot of fucking, and yet she can’t help just kinda staring at a couple on a park bench, doing more of it. Actually it’s pretty hot, he’s really going at that other guy’s…

Katina shakes her head as they notice her, grumbling and turning away quickly and not thinking about schlicking when she gets home. This city is all kinds of wrong. It wouldn’t be nearly as wrong if this was just an accident, just some people accidentally brought to the city, but…

Grunting, she punches a tree. Chips in their heads, and kids brought here to do it just like the adults. Another punch, shaking leaves out of the tree, as Katina grits her teeth, knuckles bleeding as she throws a few more strikes. Despite breaking off some bark, she’s pretty sure that did more to her than it did to the tree. “Just wait until I get a chainsaw…”

Right after she gets over the children and the brain chips. Probably never.
