"Dammit, where's the giant Mosin Nagant? Fine, I'll settle for the rail gun!"
-Caelan as she was selecting weapons for her suit
The Pilot[]
Caelan is a /k/ommando and adrogenyous mother of two. She wanted to join the army but lost her legs back in highschool. Loves her family but hates having to played cripple waifu and get her income through government checks. While the family's gone one day, armor pod falls and takes out half the apartment building along with most of her neighbors, to her, this is a chance to finally serve as part of an army.
Personality[]
Caelan, while elitest and trying to be no-nonsense, is still both a mother and a geek at heart. She neglects her long filibusters of why 'power armors are not practical' and why 'tanks and conventional vehicles will always be superior' in exchange for letting the excitement of having a power armor of her own (and a functioning pair of legs) carry her away.
Furthermore, Caelan tends to be fairly bleeding heart despite her attempts at cold pragmatism. She's quick to help others and worries for her family and friends constantly. She's rather not fond of the idea of being helpless or living on handouts either.
Appearance[]
Caelan is 36 years old and has a tall, imposing, and not very feminine body. She stands at 6' foot even, her blonde hair is often in a short, pixie cut, her build is flat chested and androgynous, and she has a rather notable case of manjaw. The only offset to any of this is her rather stunning teal eyes.
Even so, she will be the first to refer to herself as a "Butch dyke" when summing her appearance.
Relations & Allies[]
Caelan is married to one Gordon Brook, and has been for 12 years. During that time they've had two children: Melina "Mel" Brooks and Marcus "Marc" Brooks, ages 9 and 7 respectively.
The Suit[]
Brooks refers to her suit as a Ghost in the Machine class General Purpose Combat Unit 0001, or GitM: GPCU 0001.
No one else refers to her suit as such and tend to just use The Green Man due to it's (largely inappropriate) Jungle Camo patterns and large, masculine build.
