IN CHARACTER
Name: Carolina
Canon: Red vs. Blue
Canon Point: End of Season 13
Age: Mid-thirties
History: Wiki!
Personality: The first introduction you get to Carolina in RvB is that is a highly competent and confident soldier. She's good and she knows it and this doesn't really change throughout the show. But as the show goes on you get a look at the things that drive her. In her days at Project Freelancer she was obsessed with being the best to the point where she let it blind her to the things that were going on around her at the time. She missed telltale signs that her team was fracturing under the pressure put on them by the Director and his goals. Of course the thing no one ever knew was that the man she kept trying to prove her worth to was her own damn father.
Drama, amirite?
In Project Freelancer, she was the leader. Carolina cared about her team and when things were good she genuinely cared about them. They were the best of the best in their fields and she trusted each and every one of them with her back. Which only made it all the more painful when they tore themselves apart. She ended up turned against everyone and everything that she used to believe in. Following her departure from the project after one of her own teammates tried to murder her, Carolina ended up being consumed by her own anger and hatred for a while. The thing to know about Carolina's anger is that she uses it like a weapon. If she's angry she can't be hurt by others because she'll hurt them first. When she's in that place of bitterness she doesn't care what she says, she'll say unpleasant things without a second thought. But all that hate only covered up the pain she was feeling, a pain she was planning to bottle up until it got her killed.
Surprisingly, it was Epsilon who got through all the rage and found the hurting person inside. He understood her obsessions and anger and was able to sympathize because he was broken in similar ways. He also helped to get through to her the importance of letting go of the ghosts that haunt you. Between this, the Reds and Blues and Agent Washington all breaking down her walls she was able to find a measure of peace. Her team of the very best had torn themselves apart where a ragtag team of idiots had come through in ways she'd started to believe were impossible. It's not an exaggeration to say that they saved her from herself when she was on a very self destructive path.
It was thanks to all of them that when she finally faced off against the Director she realized that she could let go of all the terrible things he'd done to her. She looked on the face of a man who had destroyed her entire world and used her weaknesses against her while Epsilon raged about how he deserved to be punished for what he did and... she forgave him. She let go of the things dragging her down and walked away to leave him to his fate. And amazingly, it worked. She found a new family and a cause to throw herself into, fixing all the damage that Project Freelancer's tech had caused.
In the time since crashing on Chorus and going off on a redemption roadtrip with Epsilon, Carolina has managed to come a long way toward healing. Her relationship with the AI is a strong contributor toward that emotional health and they end up bantering and teasing one another. She has something to believe in and it's gone a long way toward changing her from a walking pillar of salt into a human being capable of having emotional connections again. She can laugh and make really, really bad jokes and honestly that's a big improvement for her. Even more important is the fact that she's willing to drop everything to help her people. The moment she heard that Washington and the Reds and Blues were in trouble she dropped everything to go help them even when it meant putting herself in danger for them.
This new Carolina is stronger than she was before but still holds notes of her old self. She's competitive and overconfident at times but she's been tempered by the things she's been through. Of course that isn't to say she's without any issues at all. She loses sight of her goals when she's face with a challenge she can't say no. Her temper also hasn't miraculously gone away and when she's riled up she'll lash out at the people she cares about without thinking. She also has a strong fear of losing the people she cares about again because she knows that losing another family will break her.
Setting: Carolina will take some time adjusting to the setting, mostly because for the first time in forever she'll be in a civilian setting where people won't be wearing layers of kevlar and combat armor. She's been in a warzone for a while now and the change will shake her up quite a bit. The missions will help her find a purpose outside of combat and it'll be interesting to see how she feels about herself when she isn't constantly ready to shoot someone.Though lbr she'll still be ready to shoot someone.
Abilities/Skills:
Martial Arts - Carolina is an expert martial artist, capable of holding her own in a fight against multiple skilled opponents at once. These skills kept her at the top of the leaderboard when she was in freelancer and have since kept her alive in a lot of combat situations.
Firearms Training - While she's not a crackshot, Carolina is good with various guns and can handle herself capably in a fight.
Armor Enhancements - Carolina has a pile of armor enhancements that she unfortunately can't safely use without an AI to help manage the strain. These enhancements include: active camouflage, speed boost, adaptive camouflage, grav boots, domed energy shield and a healing unit. All useful in combat, but as previously stated, dangerous without an AI's assistance.
Strengths/Weaknesses: +Highly skilled super soldier
+Capable of fighting in a variety of environments
+Martial arts expert
+Leadership skills
+Weapons and infiltration expert
+Willing to put herself at risk to protect others
-Extremely competitive to the point where it undermines her ability to keep her eye on the goal

-Hi yes let me introduce you to Carolina's pile of baggage about losing people because it is massive and
-Her brain is wired up like a christmas tree, head injuries aren't a good thing
-Did I mention the whole wired up like a christmas tree thing? BECAUSE SERIOUSLY THAT FUCKING THING GOES INTO HER BRAIN
-Quick to jump to conclusions
-very dependent upon tech that relies on AI assistance to operate
Items: -Teal Freelancer Combat Armor
-Pistol
-Rifle
-Covenant needler gun
-Lighter bearing the logo of Errera, damaged
SAMPLES
Network Sample: [video]
[ The video starts up with the camera staring into the face of a teal/aquamarine/lightish blue helmet that's part of some pretty serious looking combat armor. Once Carolina is sure it's recording she starts speaking. ]
This is Agent Carolina and I'm looking to make contact with the Reds and Blues of Project Freelancer as well as Agent Washington. Or anyone associated with the United Army of Chorus. If anyone recognizes any of that I'd appreciate the information.
[ She reaches up, the seals on the helmet hissing as it releases, and pulls off her helmet revealing a head full of red hair and bright green eyes. She smiles slightly at the camera. ]
If you idiots are out there, let me know. I'd rather not have to track you all down again.
