Answer the following questions in no less than 300 words but no greater than 1000 words put together...
Character's background (their past and present): Although Kate grew up the daughter of a wealthy New York socialite, she never felt all that comfortable with her family’s wealth. Most of her life, prior to her mother’s death, was that of a rich debutante. Then, at around age 14 or so, she opted to take a shortcut through Central Park at night and was raped. Though she saw a therapist to work on the emotional repercussions, it was not enough for her. She took up kickboxing and jujitsu and other forms of combat so that she wouldn’t be caught off guard ever again.
Kate joined the Young Avengers after they attempted to help save her sister's wedding when it was interrupted by an armed robbery attempt. She helped them defeat Kang the Conqueror and then, after Captain America and Iron Man attempt to break up the Young Avengers, convinced them to continue being superheroes. Using her father’s wealth, she provided them with better costumes and the hangout necessary to continue their extracurricular activities. Unlike the others, however, Kate never decided upon a codename.
Kate fought alongside the rest of the Young Avengers, even often lead them on their missions, despite her lack of any superhuman ability. Eventually, Kate's stubbornness and pride and willingness to stand up to Captain America earns her Hawkeye’s bow and codename; Clint Barton being the only other Avenger who ever did similar.
After two of their teammates died while fighting Dr. Doom, the Young Avengers disbanded. For approximately the next two years, it can be presumed Kate lives her life as any normal citizen of New York would. When Clint called her to take up working alongside him a couple of years later, she was reluctant to at first. But he eventually convinced her otherwise and she started to work alongside Clint as his partner. At some point in this duration, the Young Avengers also reformed for some hopping around the multiverse to fight evil alien parasites.
Character's personality: Although Kate grows up the daughter of a wealthy New York socialite, she never feels all that comfortable with her family’s wealth. While most New Yorkers would walk by a homeless beggar, Kate is the type to stop to give them change. Even before becoming a superhero, she's always been determined to make a difference in the world.
Though she tends to come across as the coolest and most hip or suave of the Young Avengers, she is as much of a superhero geek as the rest of them. Time and time again, she easily recognizes superheroes and tends to react in awe of meeting them. Yet, Kate isn’t the hero-worship type. She has problem speaking her mind to whomever, whenever.
Kate’s intelligent, resourceful, and extremely decisive. Once a decision is made, Kate will stick with it and see it through. She’ll also take full responsibility for her actions – both the good and the bad. She doesn't easily back down on any matter, especially if she believes herself to be in the right. She can be very good at compartmentalizing her emotions, sometimes coming across
Emotional: The ability to take responsibility for her actions extends to the emotional side of things. Though she is a typical teenage girl in many respects – flustered around attractive guys, wanting some sort of approval by friends and family for her choices – she’s can also a little mature beyond her years and, it seems, very good at compartmentalizing her emotions.
Character's skills/abilities/powers: Kate is extremely talented when it comes to archery. She’s also talented in a number of martial arts (jujitsu, kickboxing), fencing and sword fighting, and combat in general. Also, she can play the cello.
Any special equipment your character is bringing along? This includes weaponry, magic items, etc.: Bow, quiver full of normal and trick arrows (boomerang, net, explosive, etc...), motorcycle helmet.
Are you bringing your character to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ten_fwd from another game? If you are, which game?: No.
Why do you want to play this character in Ten Forward, and what do you plan to do with them? I don't necessarily have anything in particular in mind for Kate when she boards the Enterprise. Mostly, I want to play her because she's a fun, witty sort of character that would probably have a fun time being in Ten Forward. Space and multi-dimensional travel isn't something that's new to her. It makes her a nice contrast to play in the game aside from Katniss.
Writing Sample #1: Test drive meme.
