Equipment and Weapons:
The main body suit is triple weave fire resistant Kevlar. The cape is a material the blends into the darkness, helping her hide from plain sight. The cape ends have lead weights ensuring it doesn't blow up in her face but can also be directed as a distraction while fighting. The boots are rubber soled with extra grip helping her move easier and quieter as well as insulating her from electric shocks. The gloves are simple. The gloves themselves have metal plates along the forearms and knuckles increasing strike force and defense. The mask is simple and can see in regular and night vision. The mask and wig are hooked up to a one time use taser shock that can easily incapacitate most people.
Custom Collapsible Bow: A bow given to Khristiana by her mother made of high grade, carbon fiber. The bow is collapsible and can fit inside a suitcase for easy transport or hiding. On top of that, it is made from high grade materials and can double as a melee weapon without risk of breaking or damage. Couple that with the high grade, high tensile string, and this bow is one deadly piece of equipment.
Quiver: A standard quiver that is used to hold Khristiana many arrows.
Trick Arrows:
• Standard Arrows
• Flash Grenade Arrows
• Greek Fire Arrows
• Glue Arrows
• Acid Arrows
• Bola Arrows
• Cable Arrows
• Electric Arrows
• Flare Arrows
• Grenade Arrows
• Magnetic Arrows
• Smoke Arrows
• Stun Grenade Arrows
• Tear Gas Arrows
Smoke / Gas Bombs: While she tends to favor her arrows more often than not, she still carries sets of smoke and gas bombs on the off chance he cannot access her arrows when she needs them.

Powers:
N/A
Skills:
Marksmanship: She has perfect eyesight, a steady hand, and that instinct of knowing just when to shoot. She excels with bows and guns. She can hit the bulls-eye 47 out of 50 times. Her skill extends to throwing knives and Shurikens
Improvisation: Khris isn’t used to bothering with things like plans, and tends to make things up on the go. The closest she’ll come to a plan is deciding which member of a group to deal with first, or which entrance to use to enter a building. While this can sometimes get her into trouble, it has taught her to adapt, and she can respond to a change in circumstances very well.
Martial Artist: KICK BOXING — The focus on kickboxing primarily focused on creating body strength (in legs and arms) and taught Khris a multitude of moves in punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and basic defense. She is quite proficient in knee and elbow strikes (such as straight knee thrusts) and the basic defense moves, such as slipping, bobbing and weaving, and blocking. She also learned her uppercuts, hooks, and cross-counters (which have proved very useful on many occasions) for her upper body and hook kicks, sweeps, and roundhouse kicks for her lower body. Kickboxing was primarily used to teach Khris strength and strikes, which is what she has continued to use it for.
JUDO — Due to judo having a few of the same moves at kickboxing, she excelled well in atemi-waza (or body-striking techniques) but judo was used for her to learn nage-waza (throwing techniques) and katame-waza (grappling techniques), both of which being exceptionally useful in duties. She has primarily used throwing techniques to toss her opponents and disorient them while using the grappling techniques to pin and sweep. This skill is primarily used for winning hand-to-hand fights.
Anything’s A Weapon: Although she doesn't often use melee weapons, Crystal is proficient in their use and has mastered some. She is not as skilled as her father in large melee weapons, but has trained to a near-master level with knives.
Parlez-vous français?: Mae is fluent in French, Spanish, German, Russian, and Italian. She can carry a very basic conversation in a few other languages, but not enough to consider her lingual.
Ambidextrous:Crystal taught herself to use both of her hands; so that she could still fight even if one of her hands or arms was broken. She wields her bow in either hand, but she has a preference for her right hand, which is the hand she has been using since she was born.
Skilled Acrobat: Crystal has been trained in acrobatics for years. She is capable of performing acrobatic manoeuvres that allow him to get from rooftop to rooftop.

Weaknesses:
Bunniphobia- She knows it's silly but Crystal has an insane fear of rabbits that came from dreams she used to have as a child. You see, in her dreams, the rabbits would keep multiplying and multiplying and multiplying and she would constantly wake up thinking she couldn't breathing, feeling like she was being suffocated by these rabbits. While she'll do her best not to show it in public, she still feels quite a fear of them.

Feelings: Bringing up Eagle's death is a sure way to get Crystal angry. It doesn’t matter if it’s a friend or an enemy who brings it up, she will normally give them one warning to stop talking about it, and then hit them if they continue. Due to this, she’s never talked about her feelings about his death, and so has never fully and healthily grieved for him.
Claustrophobia: Fear of enclosed spaces
Honor bound: Crystal holds honor and duty in high regard. This can be used against her. Not only to goad her into battle, but also in decision making. To her, honor and fairness go hand in hand, and if someone could make a persuasive enough argument for their cause, she may feel honor bound to side with them even if personally, she would rather not. On a side note, this is why she hates most Lawyers.
Human- As a human, Walt is fundamentally susceptible to bullet fire, disintegration, excessive trauma, etc.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER
Personality:
Spoiled - While often ignored, Crystal grew up getting everything she could have ever wanted served to her on a silver platter. If she wanted something, she got it. And if she couldn't get it from someone, she bought it. She was the definition of spoiled. Don't get her wrong, she's just as quick to give her money away. She's just someone who expects things to happen, to get things that she wants. Because in the end, she seemingly always gets what she wants. And that's just the way she likes it.
Strong Willed - Another word that she likes to replace with stubborn, once she has her mind set on something, she isn't very likely to back down. This stubborn streak also seems to help her willpower and is thought to be indomitable, however that's likely not true. Everyone has a breaking point, and hers was her old flame, no matter how fizzled out it is now. Still, the point is, her stubborn nature seems to be what helps to keep her alive sometimes. She's just too stubborn to give in, to die even. Wonder where she gets that stubbornness from.
Smart - Highly intelligent even if she doesn't always act it. No, rather, she prefers to use her intelligence more so for planning, strategizing, not her degrees. Heck, she's still going to school, considering even transferring to NYU to further her education. No, her intelligence only matters in planning and in fights. After all, that's what's gonna help keep her alive
Blunt - Blunt to the bitter end, Crystal isn't one to bite her tongue when talking to people. She tells it how it is and likes to make it clear when someone is pissing her off. She was raised to tell people how she feels and she is often quick to do so, even if she ends up raising her voice or having to poke them in the chest. An eye roll here, a snobby comment there, it's all apart of her personality. And, honestly, she likes to believe it's apart of her charm as well.
Flirty - She likes to think it's just in her genes. While she can be rude and stubborn, she can also be quite charming and has been pretty much taught since birth to smile pretty, know how to use your words, give a good front to keep up the family name. And, while on occasion she has been known to draw a little blood when in costume, she does pretty well with using her charm and flirtatious nature to keep her name in check.

RP Sample:
The ground quaked under her feet as she wove her way through the trees, praying she didn’t trip over something hidden in the underbrush as she got smacked in the face by stray branches and massive leaves. She didn’t dare look back. Looking back was a sure way to die. She kept running forward as the massive beast bellowed behind her, frustrated it hadn’t caught it’s prey. It rattled her teeth in her head, the bass of it was so deep.
“MEGAN!” Crystal shouted, her panicked voice drawing out the last syllable. On a good day she could keep up with a car on an expressway. But that was on flat open ground. She had to pick and choose where to put her feet in this massive jungle, slowing her down considerably. The robotic T.rex behind her had no such problems, it’s massive bulk clearing it’s own path. Yeah, that’s right, a robotic T.rex. Crystal was running for her life from a damn robot Tyrannosaur. The only thing keeping her alive was her wits and her power. She could see things just before they happened, like a massive set of metallic jaws coming down to crush her in half. Or a giant head sweeping aside trees, shrubs and all manner of flora trying to knock her over. It only came in handy if she knew how to react. Mostly she just screamed and tried to run in the opposite direction, or make a quick directional adjustment and keep moving forward.
“Megan!!! Where the f*ck are you?! I am not used to out running things that have six metric tons on me!!!!”
“I’m coming, princess. Trying to spot you from the air is kinda hard.” Megan’s voice buzzed in her ear.
“It’s not hard to spot the fucking tyrannosaur behind me!!!” she snarled. Crystal thought back to how she’d ended up here. It had sounded like a good idea at the time. A continent, full of dinosaurs, from every period in the Mesozoic era, like someone had just plucked them from history and put them here, their own private Jurassic Park. Each part had been split up into eras, Triassic, Jurrasic, Cretaceous. And she wanted to check out the Cretaceous, because come on, what person doesn’t want to see a T.rex? The childlike sense of awe and the thirst to satisfy her scientific side had overridden any sort of caution she may have been thinking the moment Megan had said dinosaurs.
She mentally cursed her curiosity for getting her into this mess as she spotted a field up ahead in a break in the trees. If she could make it there, she could bolt, she could get more distance between her and the rex. Sure it was quick, but it had forward momentum. Turning on a dime was not something it could do easily. She just hoped she could make it there. The smell of the fetid meat rotting between its teeth was making her nauseous but on some level it pushed her to go faster, letting her know just how close it really was behind her. The clearing was fast approaching but she saw the danger coming before it hit. She dove forward and rolled onto her shoulder, springing back to her feet, vaguely aware of the snapping of the most powerful pair of jaws nature had ever created, had closed behind her, where she had been only moments before. But now she was out in the open and she took off. However, so did the rex. She cut left just as another bite came her way. The rex howled again angrily and chased after her. She ducked and cut right as it swung it’s giant head toward her.
“DOWN!” She didn’t think, she just obeyed.
She knew better than to get in Megan’s way when he gave an order. Crystal tossed herself to the ground as Megan put on a spectacular light show, stopping the rex in it’s tracks. Crystal peeked up to see Megan standing between her and the rex, hand aglow with the Energy Force ready at her disposal. The rex stared at her and roared. Megan roared back. And then she punched the damn thing right in the nose. It rocked back, before falling over, the ground shuttering with the impact. Crystal got up, brushing herself off as she stood.
“Really? You roared at it?” She asked, exasperated.
“What? It seemed appropriate at the time.” She grinned at her.
“You are a jackass.” She looked over herself, noting the various cuts and abrasions that had gotten through her clothes.
“Yeah...but I’m your jackass.” Megan walked back over to her, looking her over before pulling her into a hug. She took a deep breath before gripping him tightly.
“Whoa...ok...calm down the kung fu grip. You’re ok. No dino lunch. You’re fine.”
“I don’t feel fine.” she mumbled into her chest. She pulled back and grabbed her hands, holding them up for her inspection.
“Ten fingers...ten toes...head, shoulders, knees. Yep, all there.” She smiled at her before kissing her forehead.
“Next time, no splitting up.” Crystal sighed.
“You’re the one who wanted to observe the nest, princess.”
