Alrighty then, I may as well repost mine. Oh, and I added her height, weight, and appearence. It took me a good while to even come up with how she'll look like. I still have no idea what I'll do for my Planetside Duty though ...

Name: Luna Valkyrie

Nickname: Luna

Height: 5'11'

Weight: 141 lbs

Appearence: Luna has turquoise eyes; standing out from her pale complexion. She silver hair that flows loosely and meesily; extending all the way to her mid-back. Also, she has bangs that barely cover her eyebrows.

Luna garbs herself in primairily light blue, dark blue, white, and brown. She wears a white buttoned vest - the buttons on said vest being brown in color - with coattails that exposes part of her midriff, which she wears over a light blue, sleeveless undershirt. She also wears light blue shorts that ends mid-thigh.

As an accessory, Luna wears a dark blue circle scarf that wraps around her neck. She also wears elbow-length gloves on both her right and left arms. Her weapons - which are two golden clawshots with a red design - go over these gloves. Luna wears brown, mid-calf customized boots that allow her to stay mobile, despite her low stamina.

Shipboard Duty: Engineer

Planetside Duty: ???

Hobbies: Writing, reading, drawing, eating, sleeping, and crafting weapons and gear

Notes: Ever since a young age, Luna was often fascinated by various weapons and gear that she saw utilized in several books that she read. She always wished to own a weapon herself, using whatever weapon she would have to slay various monsters. Not only that, but she wished to travel the world, seeing all of the sights that the world contained, some still waiting to be explored.

When she was old enough to decide on a path to follow, Luna hastily packed up her bags and set off to college, where she went to study engineering. Of course, she only went to go study engineering to learn more about armament (which is any device used in order to inflict damage or harm to living beings, structures, or systems). Due to this, Luna found herself rather uninterested in everything else other than armament, causing her grades in her first two weeks of college to slip. She quickly realized that procrastinating wasn't going to solve any of her problems and began to actually keep up with her work.

In the end, Luna eventually found herself to pass college with flying colors ... yet she had no clue what to do after she actually finished college. She wasn't the type to think ahead and plan things, so this was rather normal. However, having no idea what to do next, she quickly thought about what she wanted to do when she used to fantasize about weapons. Luna quickly recalled that she wished to travel around the world, seeing all of the sights it had in store. This caused Luna to travel around quite a lot, hardly ever spending time seeing any of her friends or family. She was just too carried away to even merely think about them, due to the fact that so wrapped up analyzing every miniscule detail about the nearest structure.

It just only took her two whole years to realize how selfish she was and quickly returned home to see how her family and friends were holding up. Despite the fact the were rather angered with Luna not speaking to them in two years (in which they had every right to be angry), they still welcomed her with open arms and were happy to see that she wasnt injured severly in her travels.

However, after about a week of staying at home; catching up on how everyone was holding up, Luna felt rather ... bored with her old life. There wasn't all too much to look forward to and she quickly found herself wanting to do ... something. So, after much consideration, Luna found herself seeking for more adventure! (And since I don't want to take another year to write this) Eventually, Luna had found herself joining WC-83's ship crew!

In said ship crew, Luna often finds herself drafting up ideas for weapons on her sketch pad. Utilizing these designs, she finds herself forging weapons for herself and the rest of the group. Since she is so into drawing and forging weaponry, Luna barely finds herself time to read. She absolutely adores books and the story that each one tells, so she wishes that she actually had more time to read them. The same can be said for writing as well.

Personality: Luna is rather typically saracastic and replies to a lot of things with sarcasm. However, this doesn't mean she can't be serious when a serious situation presents itself. She's often the type that rushes into something without really thinking ahead or even listening to others for advice. And another thing to note is that Luna loves food. If she doesn't have her food for six hours, someone is gonna have to hear her complain. She also doesn't have good running stamina, always getting worn out after a few minutes or so of running. Finally, Luna is a night owl, always staying up late at night, but she's in no way, shape, or form, a mourning bird. So if she wakes up early, she's often crabby.

Weapon: Whenever the chance presents itself, Luna fights utilizing her Dual Close Combat Clawshots (DCCC), named Ballistic Torchlight. These custimized claws are worn by Luna inserting her hands into the back of the clawshots and tightening the medium-sized straps on the outside.

This battle style is rather wild and unpredictable, as utilizing this style requires a lot of deadly ferocity and speed. However, due to the fact that Luna doesn't excell in the speed department, she mainly attacks utilizing quick slashes. Or, she can quickly dart behind in the opponent and strike them in their blind side; their back.

This combat style is a mix of martial arts and closed ranged weapons combat. However, due to the fact that Luna customized these claws, she added a special feature to them. If the enemy is too far away from her reach, Luna can shoot the claws out on chains to grapple onto them. The claws can then retract rapidly to pull the target closer to her, allowing Luna to save her stamina. These claws are also useful to prevent an enemy from escaping and - in some cases - setting up attacks for allies.

These clawshots aren't only utilized for combat, but they can also be used for other means outside of battle. For example, these clawshots can also grapple onto ... I dunno, objects made out of stone, wood, rock, and other various materials. Once Luna has grappled onto said object, the clawshots can pull Luna closer towards what the claw is attached to.

However, these weapons aren't without their faults. The downsides to these weapons is that most of the attacks that Luna preforms leaves her vulnerable in the back, allowing her to be an easy target. It also doesn't help that Luna doesn't have the best stamina. Along with that, the clawshots can't grapple onto every material in the world. A material such as metal isn't easy for the claws to embed themselves into. These clawshots also aren't good for blocking attacks from other weapons, as they were mainly meant for attacking purposes and not defending purposes.
