Name: Katherine (Kit) Walker
Age: 30
Birthday: January 14
Height: 5'0"
Physical Description: Kit's a tiny lightweight, with thin limbs and quick little fingers. She walks with a bounce in her step and a swing in her ponytail. Her hair is brown, and goes to her shoulderblades if she leaves it down...which is almost never, since she likes having her hair out of her face when she works. Her eyes are big and blue, usually sparkling and alert even when she's dead on her feet. She's always grinning and can rarely stand still, so expect her to be tinkering with this or that if she doesn't have anything else to occupy her hands. Kit dresses in loose and comfortable clothes, and doesn't seem to care about her physical appearance. Her hairstyle is somewhat sloppy, and she doesn't care about make-up. Most of her clothing is 1-4 sizes too big for her, save for her tennis shoes.
Profession/Role: Ghostbuster/Science Fanatic
Talents:
♥ Intellectual Talent: Science. She loves all things science, even paranormal studies.
♥ Technical Talent: Mechanical Engineering. Kit has a knack with pulling things apart and putting them back together, sometimes better. She's created a few devices herself, but nothing big. Kit is usually the one who fixes or modifies the basic ghostbusting equipment.
♥ Physical Talent: Running. She might not have much physical strength or sports talent, but she can run fast and far.
♥ Interpersonal Talent: Orating. Kit's good at explaining things, in scientific and simple terms. She can deliver lectures and speeches with no fear of the size of the audience.
Failings:
♥ Intellectual Failing: Economics. Kit isn't great with money, or investment. She can't appraise items at fair value, and is likely to sell things for far less than they're worth.
♥ Technical Failing: Art. Kit's more interested in things working than looking nice. She fails to grasp aesthetic values. If she did put on her own makeup, she'd probably look like Tammy Baker.
♥ Physical Failing: Strength. Kit's a weakling, and had to modify her proton pack to be lighter -- both in weight, and from getting blasted off her feet when she fires.
♥ Interpersonal Failing: Naive. Kit will believe anything that anyone says, unwilling to discount any tale, no matter how strange. She can't differentiate between an authentic ghost problem and the ravings of a lunatic.
Background
Family: Kit's the youngest of two girls. Both of her parents were prominent scientists in their field -- her father a chemist, her mother an astrophysicist. She and her older sister, Rose, didn't receive toys for Christmas and birthdays, but science equipment instead. And they loved it. Kit never had any pets, save for a dog when she was very young. They taught it commands in Latin. It was just that kind of family. As brilliant as Kit is, her sister is more socially savvy, and thus, far more successful in applying her talents. Kit looks up to her, and thinks Rose can do no wrong.
Education: Kit was a straight A student. She easily aced her classes, particularly science and history. She loved to learn, and took any opportunity to pick up extra classes. She graduated high school and college with honors, and got along well with her professors. Because of her fascination with the history of the Ghostbusters when she was young, she eagerly enrolled in Professor Spengler's courses to learn as much as she could about the supernatural.
History: Lorenzo is Kit's best friend. She thinks he's hilarious, and has ever since the third grade. When he wanted to pull up his grades, he turned to her for study sessions and tutoring. She didn't really need to do much; he had the brains, he just needed the drive. Because she was so driven by her passion for learning, she missed out on a lot of social education and opportunities. Most of what she knows, she picked up from Lorenzo and her sister. As much as she respects the sciences, she still has an adventurous spirit, and played Ghostbusters when she was a kid. These were some of her happiest childhood memories, and what kicked off her interest in ghostbusting. After college, she had a difficult time finding a job. She was either overqualified, or unable to pass the interview process.
Goals: Kit wants to continue to learn as much as she can, and wants to be one of the leading experts in the field of parapsychology since it has so few individuals exploring the area. If she could afford it, she'd love to travel the world and gather information about spirits and spooks in different cultural regions.
Personality
Likes: Science, adventure, donuts, coffee, dogs, exploration, hot showers, tinkering, snow, her family, comedy
Dislikes: Sleeping, bubble baths, really long fiction novels, sports, fishing, video games
Strengths: She has a great love of knowledge and has an excellent talent for memorizing and regurgitating information, and then forgetting what doesn't seem necessary (like drama and modern literature). This means she can watch a movie or read a book and still be surprised by the ending. Though Kit has a difficult time understanding social norms, she genuinely likes people, and her cheerful demeanor ensures she gets along with people in general. She can't grasp the concept of jealousy, and has a relatively high level of self worth and confidence. Setbacks and bad days are just challenges to be overcome, and she doesn't like to give up easily. If she does, she laughs it off and feels secure in knowing that at least she gave it her best shot. She's smart, caring, and enthusiastic about all she tries to do.
Weaknesses: Kit has a difficult time relaxing, or understanding the value of pacing herself. She's often guilty of burning the candle at both ends until she's completely exhausted. She's naive and trusting, overly so, and often has trouble picking up on social cues unless told directly. She has no interest in trying to improve her appearance, and can come across as scruffy and scatterbrained. Her optimism can often turn into idealism, which can lead to trouble when she doesn't plan for worst case scenarios.
Relations: Lorenzo's been her best friend nearly as long as she can remember. She thinks he's hilarious. She's supportive each time he falls in love, even though it never ends well. It's hard for her to see him as anything more than a friend, and her feelings are entirely platonic. He may as well be a brother in that regard.
OOC Notes
Player's Name: Eve
Contact Info: Faetan via Plurk, RainaMoonsinger via AIM, PM okay
OOC Goals: So many adventures. Opportunities to modify or create inventions specific to the situation at hand. A girls' night out. Adopting the ghost of her dead dog.
OOC Preferences: Can't think of anything at the moment! As long as it doesn't go against her nature (i.e. getting jealous, moping around doubting herself), I'm pretty open.
Permissions: Yes, but please check with me first. I don't need much, just a brief overview on what she's going to be doing/saying.
