Scope_47 (Could be taken up by Dumori)
An ordained Catholic priestess and Ghoul. Heavy weapons.
Kiara looks the part of the mercenary, but it is her manner that makes her seem an unlikely candidate. Kiara is nearly always smiling and seems inordinately nice - more like a social worker or church youth group leader than a mercenary - the type who treats almost everybody like a friend (though oddly, she avoids physical contact without gloves). Further, she seems to be a very Christian individual - quoting the bible and turning the other cheek in a 'what would Jesus do' sort of way. This of course has led to a number of nicknames for her such as 'Lil Soldier, Baby Girl, Girl Scout, and so on.
Those preconceptions other mercs have almost always change once they are out in the field with her. She wears heavy mil-spec armor as if it were as light as normal clothing and carries a heavy machine gun (nick-named the 'Breath of God,' with the Psalm 78:39 engraved on its barrel: He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return) and has an Ares Vigorous Assault Cannon (nick-named the 'Hand of God,' with Samuel 1:22 in gold filigree along its massive barrel: From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied) slung on her back. She of course also has an automatic pistol in a leg-holster, but it is exceedingly rare that she uses it. Though coated with poly-reuthenium compound for stealth purposes, when visible her armor is a sky-blue with a gold cross emblazoned over the chest-plate with the words "Jesus Christ, Our Lord GOD, is in Heaven." While during the day she keeps her helmet sealed, at night she leaves the plate below the visor open. It shortly becomes apparent during the longer Ops that she is most assuredly infected with Krieger strain HMHVV (apparently having had extensive bio-sculting surgery to hide the physical markers, though the fangs are oddly conspicuous and not normally associated with Krieger strain) as she only eats uncooked meat and seems to be much more alert at night. Once the battle has started, her manner bears little resemblance to her normal personality - the 'what would Jesus do' mentality replaced by old testament style wrath, and the friendly disposition replaced by that of a drill sergeant. She tends to lay waste to the enemy with her heavy weapons - seeming to enjoy the bloodbath, and once they get close she visciously engages them in melee - often going for their throat or heart and sometimes beastially devouring parts her prey on the spot. In short, she fights like a monster - with a supernatural quickness and strength incongruent with her physical size… and unwilling to stop until every last enemy has been slain…
So after being in the field with her, most people just call her Sarge… though some keep calling her by the old nicknames - just with a bit more irony than before.

Father Arturo: L4, C6
Gunnery Sergeant Kiara Godard at first glance seems like an odd sort to be a mercenary… Its not really the way she looks… she is 1.8 meters tall (taller than the average human, shorter than the average ork or elf) with an athletic build that visibly places her around 95 kilograms. However, while the size of her build is only slightly more muscled than the average person, her muscular structure seems more sinewy and dense than normal. She wears her auburn red hair in a neck-length perm swept back away from her face. She looks to be in her mid twenties and has pale white skin, classic saxon features (slightly upturned nose, high cheek bones, small chin etc), and cyber-eyes that usually appear to shift in hue from baby-blue to blood-red depending on her mood, but her porcelein smile disturbingly reveals fangs hidden behind those classic features - and her well manicured, usually painted nails are thicker and more claw-like than they should be.
Father Arturo: L4, C6 - the priest who recruited Kiara into her order. He is also the head of the orphanage/school where she spent most of her youth. A kindly man most of the time, but of a wrathful disposition when the word of God is not heeded. Through his position in the church and the order, he has many connections globally - and he is Kiara's most trusted friend.
