Defect of the Character: Has very little patience for incompetence. She can usually do it better herself. Short tempered. Is not very good at hand to hand combat and will avoid it at all costs. Her electrokinesis manifests as a sort of defense mechanism and is highly unstable due to poor self control. It is also incredibly painful to her. People often find if they stand too close they will feel static electricity coming from her. She does not like to be touched.

Aspirations: She strives to fully develop her AI 'Gail'. She hopes to eventually build it its own fully functioning body.

Background story:
Vera was found as a child by the Broken Volts and was raised as one of there own. As she grew she showed great aptitude for programming and mechanics. She was given an AI of her own named 'Gail'. In under two weeks Vera had it speaking in intelligent sentences, working on it tirelessly day and night. They were inseparable. She considered Gail her only real family.

Vera started hearing talk of an AI lost deep within a bunker not far from the Military Silo the Broken Volts re-purposed into a home. She was determined to recover it but everyone she spoke to about it discouraged her from doing so. The bunker was deep in Raider territory. Vera did it anyway and it turned out to be the worse decision she could have ever made.

She didn't even make it to the bunker before she was captured by Raiders and carted across the islands to Old World Mourn to be sold at auction as a slave. She was sold to a prestigious Captain. He wasn't a cruel man but he was heavy handed when provoked, which was often due to her mouth. His crew, though, was very cruel. She was constantly ridiculed and abused. Vera spent 6 years as a slave with only a dormant holodisk, containing Gail, as a reminder of her passed life. Over time she gained a sort of trust with the Captain, he recognized her talent for everything mechanical. He granted her a pip-boy and had her preform small maintenance tasks on his ship.

The pip-boy is all she needed to deactivate her collar and she did so immediately, rigging it to look as if it were still active. Vera waited for the right moment to escape and she found it during a storm at sea off the coast of Oahu. If she was going to escape she needed to make sure the captain went down with the ship or he would be hunt her across the wastes on principle alone. Mid-storm she slipped down to the generator room, overloaded the systems and rigged it to explode. She made to the entrance to the deck before some of the crew surrounded her, starting a fresh round of abuse. She glanced down at the clock on her pip-boy, the cold chill of fear shot through her. Vera needed to get off this fucking ship lest she go down with these bastards. Grabbing the nearest man, she shoved him back onto the deck. Thinking of all the times she had to endure, she sent a full pulse of electricity through him, frying him instantly. Vera dashed passed and onto the deck. She nearly made it to the railing before she was grabbed and hauled back by two of the crew. A long flat solitary beep sounded from her pip-boy, she was too late. The ship exploded in a fiery blaze, launching her into the sea.

I would like to see more of what Vera isn't good at or maybe some physical or mental consequences from her time on the ship that hinder her.

Ok. What do you think?

Much better, you have my approval. The Overseer will decide your equipment and caps.

Thank you~!

I will now roll for your starting caps.
