Name: Cady (pronounced Katie) Traner

Nationality: Empire
Zoid: Saber Tiger (Phantom)
Cash:55k
Email: scotishgirl001@yahoo.com (I have no IM. but I do check my email regularly)

Personality
Happy is a word that people use to describe Cay. She isn't overly peppy or anything, but it seems that nothing could make her sad. She loves to help others when they are sad, but has a hard time making friends. She always has to be doing something with her hands and constantly drums her fingers or pulls at her skin.

Background
Cady came from a good home in the Empire and was raised around zoids. Her father and brother were both in the military, and her mother was a local zoid technician. She was born and raised in the Empire's capitol city and lived there for most of her life. One day her mother decided to move to a more costal town when Cady was 11.
Cady hated the idea of moving as her only friends were in the city. She loved the city and the zoids that inhabited it. Though when they arrived at the town though, Cady immediately fell in love with the zoid that she had never seen in the capitol. It was a Dead Border. She spent most of her days learning how to pilot it from one of the locals who owned one and rarely did anything else.
Her mother was happy at Cady's interest in the ancient zoids, but was worried that she was devoting to much of her time to it. So, her mother began teaching Cady some...'practical' things. Fro example: how to cook, make a fire, etc. She also taught her about the history of Zi and the battles that were held. That’s what sparked the idea in Cady that she pilots a Dead Border in the battles; she was 13 at the time.
By the time she was 16, Cady had raised enough money to buy her own zoid. A Saber Tiger. After a few months of practice, she told her mom that she was going off into the world of zoid battles. To which her mother said "No." For the next few months, Cady's mother prohibited her from leaving. When asked why, she said it was for her own good. Then, on her 16th birthday, Cady snuck out early in the morning taking some extra clothes, food and other vitals. Leaving her mom a note, Cady promised she would write to her and visit her. That was six months ago and Cady has kept her promise to write. Every few weeks, Cady's mother reads about all the battles and adventures she's been in.

Appearance
Cady is a simple girl who doesn’t like to wear reveling or tight clothes, makeup, and doesn’t even wear jewelry save for a dragon necklace her brother left her. She wears a pair of light blue baggy jeans and a loose dark blue t-shirt with a dragon on it. She wears a pair of black gloves when fighting and normally has her brown shoulder blade length hair in a loose or high ponytail. Cady also wears a pair of gray tennis shoes and does not believe in wearing high-heels. Her brown and green eyes always seem to suggest that she knows a lot more than the other person does.

All righty, another Imperial chick! Ivy approves.

And wants a fight. >_>

Overall structure isn't bad, but there are some spelling and grammar mistakes in it - run it through Microsoft Word to get rid of them.

Background is fine with me. It's a little generic, but bios can get away with being a bit generic anyway because they simply set the stage for you to roleplay upon.

That Deadborder, however, has got to go. If I recall correctly, the average starting sum for a new pilot is nowhere near enough to buy an Epsilon-class machine like that Deadborder. Here is the master zoid-list - I'm sure you can find something that suits your style.

Way back when I ran my characters through apps, there was a fixed sum of $50k for each initial character, and then $30k for each character after that. Remember, on MC:CAN you don't just control one character, you roleplay a whole team. This system gives it a feel not unlike the NC-0 show, where teams battle each other instead of pilots dueling.

If you want to write up about three more bios and have them all approved, then by all means do it - you can pool their funds and buy a Deadborder. (Remember, you get your very first zoid for half price.) But then you have one zoid in a team of four people. You'd be far better served making a team with four people, all piloting Betas or the odd Gamma, than trying to barge through on one Epsilon. It's just more cost-effective that way.

Anyway, I happen to be something of a fan of Imperial zoids, so you're in luck. Good ones to check out are the Saber Tiger, Red Horn, Warshark, Molga, Rev Raptor, Hammerrock, Gator, Glaive Quama, and Iguan - all effective, easy to pilot and good for battle. If you're feeling a bit adventurous, try Demantis, Malder, Storch, Saicurtis and others - they're more demanding, of course, but you might like them anyway.

Hope this helps. And Sol, correct me on just how the heck the starting monetary system works these days. I've never understood that.

okay. i edited my post. Changed the zoid to Saber Tiger. Fixed grammar and spelling mistakes.

Alex Carrigan - August 4, 2006 08:34 PM (GMT)
Well, that about does it for my part of the process - it looks sound, from a mechanical and structural point of view, at least. Sol's the final word on bio admissions, though, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait on him. He's more particular about the actual content of the bio than I am.

*Pokes Sol. With a Deadborder.*

I should tell you, when I saw this bio I started to giggle. And I just didn't quit until my brother threatened to stab me in the crotch with a screwdriver.
Why, you may ask? Well, it's because your character is sixteen years old. It's illegal for a sixteen-year-old to pilot a combat zoid. The rules and laws state that a character who intends to pilot a zoid into combat has to be sixteen years old. *Revs up the woodchipper of demise.* I've gots me a good feelin' about this one, Poot.

Meh. It's fairly standard, a little short, and certainly not going to net a Deadborder just yet. Don't worry; we hand out a lot of cash as tournament prizes, and there's not been much competition of late. That's my fault; I need to get another Tourney going as soon as possible.
Alright. Approved, once you change the age, and 55k for starting funds. Remember that you have to pay for your first zoid, but it's set at half price thanks to the Pilot Assistance Program.

And Jules, I'll never explain how the system works. It's my way of making sure I'm indespensible to the site. This is the part where I cackle maniacally, feed my brother to a woodchipper, and walk off whilst still cackling . . . even as the police pull up . . .

mugenliger121 - August 14, 2006 02:18 AM (GMT)
Edited age, hopefully she is old enough.

Solaris - August 14, 2006 03:52 AM (GMT)
Yep. Plenty old. Welcome aboard, Cady.
*Chuckles for reasons Chris should realize, but probably nobody else will.*
Now, post your purchasing topic in the appropriate forum and we'll see about getting you situated in the site, aye?
