Description

Age: 18
Ship: Pioneer IV
Appearance: (Disregard the red eyes)
Tall and majestic-looking, well-built but not muscular, Nina Estoc hails from the French Empire. Her face, stony and grim, is pale and eerily beautiful, while her very dark, almost black, brown eyes are piercing, and her silver-dyed hair flows past her shoulders down to her waist. Despite the age she lives in, she is often seen wearing a more traditional Imperial French military uniform from many ages ago. She is greatly interested in physics and history, specifically military history, and alongside her bafflingly extensive knowledge of physics, she also knows the strategies and outcomes of many wars in history. It has been claimed that she is too mature for her age, something that has been said since she was a child; when she was a child in school, the popular belief among the students was that she was possessed by an old lady's spirit.

Personality

Outwardly, she seems to look cold and glaring, though this is only the way her face is built. In reality, she enjoys interacting and talking with others. However, her cold appearance tends to ward off any but the most perceptive or friendly people. She is very cynical and pessimistic, though, to a fault; she begins every experiment expecting it to fail. However, her prowess in scientific matters means these expectations are almost never fulfilled. In reality, she doesn't much care for the state of Earth, and is heavily cynical of humanity in general; she can be heard to call mankind 'foolish' or 'stupid', for being unable to maintain their own planet. Her hunger for knowledge is so great, she would place herself or one of her companions in danger if it would lead to an advance in her research.

Equipment

She wears a traditional Imperial French military uniform in spite of the age she lives in. She also wears a necklace with a red jewel which she has never removed, and never allowed to be held by anyone. In her personal quarters, she has many books, mostly about military strategy or astrophysics, as well as many artifacts and items from the early French Empire and even before it.

History

Nina Estoc was born in a large town in the French Empire, where her parents were involved in the military. Though she took a great interest in military tactics, becoming well-versed in strategies and tactics, she chose not to follow her parents example into the Imperial military, choosing instead to study astrophysics. Over the years, she accumulated a huge database of astrophysics knowledge, though it was not until she was 18 that she was chosen for the Pioneer program as a scientist, barely young enough to be selected.
