Dr. Heron Profile
(Last Updated: 4/26/08)
***
OOC ROLEPLAY NOTES: This character is less vulnerable and helpless than some of my typical characters. Dr. Hitomi Heron is still vulnerable and I would be willing to be victimized if it was role-played correctly (please verify your RP idea in IM before you begin if you think there might be a problem). A likely scenario which I would welcome would be having Hitomi become infected by alien matter of some sort or being brainwashed to unknowingly and/or unwillingly serve a certain race or group. However I would like to avoid most permanent or irreversible changes to my character unless it is a change which I want for the sake of character development (once again check with me first in IM to make sure). Dr. Hitomi may also act in a more dominate role if necessary. One scenario would be that she gets carried away in her research and begins using less than ethical methods to further her quest for knowledge and satisfy her curiosity.

NAME: Dr. Hitomi Heron
GENDER: Female (straight)
RACE: Human
PERSONALITY: Normally comes off as quiet and aloof, often preferring to observe but is not above interfering or getting involved if she holds an interest. Hitomi is insatiably curious, even to the point of putting her own safety and wellbeing at risk for the sake of obtaining knowledge. Tends to be a bit arrogant and has a sharp tongue but she does respect authority. Often speaks in a refined manner that betrays her upper class upbringing. Can actually be rather kind to those whom she sees fit to befriend but for the most part she sees little advantage in befriending those who do not interest her.
OCCUPATION: Scientific Personnel/ Researcher (Xenologist)
SPECIAL SKILLS: Respectable knowledge of technology including some used by aliens. Very skilled in using computers and various electronic equipment, some medical knowledge (see background info), trained in basic close quarters combat and is actually in great physical shape.
EQUIPMENT:
-Illuminating face powder (an organic creation of Hitomi herself which, in addition to making her facial feature appear brighter and more pronounced, allows an easy and relatively efficient method of illuminating the area around Hitomi. This is useful especially when investigating derelict spacecraft or staying up late at night doing research. The powder sticks to the skin when it dries and can only be removed when it becomes wet. Hitomi carries emergency supplies of the stuff in tiny bottles in her belt.
-Stun Gun (Carried in a sheath around her right leg. Used for personal security…the young lady researches potentially hostile aliens…cut her some slack ^_^)
-Various other medical and scientific equipment carried in various pouches and pockets on her attire.
-Portable Computer Systems (PORCOS) Designation “Shinai”
Description: PORCOS are basically a personal computer system integrated onto the body (not an implant). Hitomi’s PORCOS is named “Shinai” and when it speaks it has the voice of a young Japanese male (possibly a personal preference made by Hitomi). The PORCOS is integrated into Hitomi’s clothing. The AI itself is contained inside an earpiece that she wears over her left ear. A microphone extending from the earpiece allows Hitomi to issue verbal commands to Shinai and also can be used to store recordings such as personal observations made during research.
Additional hard drive space is contained inside a series of pale blue capsules sewn into Hitomi’s uniform (found around her arms and on her back). Shinai can access these capsules remotely within a certain distance. Although the exact distance is unknown (Hitomi like to upgrade and modify Shinai frequently) Shinai can access the data capsules even if they are at opposite points within the space station with relative ease. Of course the closer the AI is to the data capsules the faster it can access them so when working Hitomi will almost always wear her uniform.
In addition to verbal commands, Hitomi can also input data into Shinai via a Laser Generated Interface Terminal (LAGIT) generated from laser generators on her gloves (red rectangles on the top of the hand). To activate the LAGIT, Hitomi makes a distinct waving gesture with her hand (similar to the “wax on motion”). A light screen and keyboard will be generated from laser lights in her gloves in front of Hitomi. Special tiny crystals in the fingers of the gloves break the laser light on the keys allowing Hitomi to type and input data. If she were not wearing the same gloves that were generating the LAGIT then she could not use the terminal to input data. When Hitomi is finished she makes a sweeping motion again with her hand but in the opposite direction (think “wax off motion”). The LAGIT that Hitomi uses is of course a prototype and the whole device is rumored to have been developed through reverse engineering alien technology though the developers have denied this.
Current Programs Installed in Shinai:
-Rosetta.exe (Allows Shinai to act as a translator for Hitomi. When Hitomi encounters a language that she does not understand and is not in Shinai’s data banks, this program can analyze the sounds or symbols of the language in question and after a significant amount of exposure to that language; the program will translate the language and store it in Shinai’s data banks. Shinai can speak directly to Hitomi through the earpiece, telling her the meaning of the text or words she is reading or hearing, or the AI can act as a go between if Hitomi turns on her PORCOS’s external speakers so it can be heard.
(More to come)
SPOKEN LANGUAGES (RP mind you): English, Japanese, Basic, Gothic, Latin, etc. (See Rosetta.exe note above)
Vitals:
Ht: 5’10”
Wt: 150 lbs
Hair: Blond
eyes: Royal Blue
age: 22
BACKGROUND INFO:
Hitomi Heron was born to a relatively wealthy family living in one of the many colonies orbiting the human homeworld of Earth. At a young age she showed a substantial interest in science including Astronomy, Biology, and more specifically the study of organisms of non-Earth origin, that is, the study of aliens called Xenology. Encouraged by their daughter’s insatiable desire to learn, Hitomi’s parents indulged her curiosity and sparred little expense in her education. After only four years at the Academy, Hitomi graduated with a doctorate in Xenology (it normally takes 6 to 10 years to get a PhD) “Doctor” Heron seemed destined for great accomplishments but the young woman found that the world currently had little need for an expert in alien species since the Sol system was almost entirely composed of human beings with only a small alien minority.
This reality forced Dr. Heron to look outside the system in order to secure a research position and the newly graduated scientist soon found a research position aboard the space station Necronom VI. Unconcerned by the rumors that the space station was controlled by a criminal organization, and eager to begin her own research into alien organisms, Hitomi accepted the position aboard Necronom and is now eager to begin her work.
