Alder Bridle
Alder Bridle (a.k.a. The Kirin)
Anxious Kirin mechanic with emotion problems and a missing friend. She is nice to most people who aren't pointing a gun at her, but doesn't fare well in groups or being made the center of attention (or feeling like she is, she's probably not). She tends to solve problems in two ways: Running and hiding in the nearest, smallest space she can fit into, or Rolling Stoning problem in the face. Either or.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
She is thin, but not underfed. Parents being merchants, food was barely ever in short supply.
Body Features
Often, but not always covered in engine/gun grease.
Facial Features
High cheekbones, angular muzzle and a red, curving branch-like horn portruding from her forehead.
Identifying Characteristics
Has a mole on her neck, dark eyebags and prominent, red twisted horn on her head.
Physical quirks
Her dominant hoof is right.
Special abilities
Can use Kirin magic, an element-based magic. She seems to favor Earth-spells, being that her dominant damage spell is Rolling Stone. But she has other spells as well from other elements.
Apparel & Accessories
Currently wears Basic leather armor, due to needing to traverse safely in the underground tunnels.
Specialized Equipment
Leather armor, a rifle strapped on her back. Maintenance kit hangs from her saddlebag.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
I was born in Gazelle station, a relatively busy Trading station to my parents Pine Bridle (father) and Gilded Bridle (mother, nee Clover), merchants in their own right, owning a general store for some generations back. I tend to fix whatever machinery comes our way, as well as work as a guard during lights out time…
I grew up alongside a Stable Dweller named Cinderfall, her family being our supplier of seeds and other excess crops the Stable might have and this has been going on at least since my grandparents. We were good friends, until a year ago when she left the underground to try her mettle as an adventurer. I have not heard from her since.
Gender Identity
A mare.
Sexuality
Uh. Uhhhh. Not enough social contact to know. Maybe.
Education
Basic wastelander education. I know how to read and write, and count. Parents made sure of that. Otherwise, lots of trial and error. Any error you walk away from is a learning experience.
Employment
A mechanic at my parents' shop, and a nightguard employed by the station. Probably also why I was picked for this courier job by the mayor, as I were already on payroll.
Failures & Embarrassments
Completely fudged putting together a simple rifle at Ruby station. Will not live it down. Please forget it ever happened, I intend to try to do so.
Mental Trauma
Fear of crowds and large amount of people. Let's not go to Emerald Station, I'm nervous and poor, a bad combination in any Emerald Leaque station...
Intellectual Characteristics
I wish. I suppose I'm kinda good with machines and magic, if that counts? Magic is fun.
Morality & Philosophy
"You reap what you sow." and any error you live through is a learning experience. Still don't need to remind me of failing to put a gun together. Twice.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Wants to find her friend Cinderfall, to find out what happened to her, and maybe see if her own worry is out of friendship or something deeper. Also, she has been genuinely interested in the rumoured but rarely visited aboveground.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Good with machinery, but tends utterly suck at any sort of artistic talent, though she does have imagination. Used to idealize herself and Cinderfall as badass wasteland heroes when she was a foal, a common trait with Cinderfall.
Likes & Dislikes
She likes spending time alone, listening to radio plays and reading, especially adventure books like Daring Do. Likes modding stuff, expressing her creativity in this way. Doesn't mind eating meat.
Dislikes strange supernatural stuff and abhors large gatherings or having to talk to strangers.
Virtues & Personality perks
Can use her tail alike a limb, carry small stuff with it and pick stuff up.
Vices & Personality flaws
Quick to act when nervous, and tends to go Nirik when under stress, fear or anger, but she seems to have a relatively good grasp on controlling her demon-horse form. Or she's never been pissed enough not to.
Personality Quirks
Her voice gets higher the more stressed she is. She tends to snort when she laughs.
Hygiene
While she doesn't mind an occasional grease stain, dirt or blood caking her, she does prefer take a bath or shower whenever she can. Makes her feel in control. Rarely uses make-up, considering the make-up is some 200 years old, but can't deny that she'd like to try. At least she could get those dark eyebags hidden.
Social
Contacts & Relations
She gets along with her father the best, is an only child. Her best friend is Cinderfall.
Family Ties
In good/neutral at worst relations with the Stable in Gazelle station.
Religious Views
Agnostic
Social Aptitude
Socially inept. Somepony please, get me out of this crowd!
Hobbies & Pets
No pets, though I'd like to have one. Maybe a lizard. Then again, pet rocks… hard to choose, really. I spend my free time listening to radio, or reading old adventure books (I need more! MORE!), also ltinkering is fun.
Speech
Tends to bid people hello or farewell with a "Mind the Gap!" and usually has a high-pitched, anxious… noise.
Wealth & Financial state
Dirt-poor.
A somewhat anxious Kirin mare who finds crowds difficult, is currently the party's mechanic and source of occasional trouble. She means well though, even if she can't handle all the situations. But, at least her companions are nice.
