She has thin lips and a thin nose; she has a tall stature and easily stands over her fellow guardsmen. Kassia is normally found in her Guard Uniform or armor, which is kept well-polished when not in combat. Her armor and clothes are well-worn and fitted, and the bottom edges are rough from multiple prior battles. She has a small trinket worn on a simple chain around her neck, it is an Icon depicting a Saint. Unknown to her fellow soldiers, she has a small tattoo of the Imperial Aquila on the outer part of her right thigh. Kassia also has a simple cybernetic right arm, its weak servos only have enough strength to replicate what her original arm was capable of. Around the edge of the cybernetic arm are burn scars that run up the rest of her arm. When she is not in her full uniform, she tends to wear simple clothes, typically wearing a plain synth-wool singlet and loose-fitting pants. The colors of the clothes match the regimental colors of the Corinthean Guard. She often puts her curly hair into a small ponytail when on duty, the curls pulled back into the helmet to keep them out of her face. When off duty she lets her hair hang loose and tends to wear a simple black dress. Noteworthy Features » Curly Black Hair » Almond Eyes » Thin Lips » Tall Stature » Cybernetic Right Arm THEIR PERSONA Kassia is a soft-spoken and kind-hearted woman, young for her rank in the Guard, she often uses strict organization and planning to make up for her lack of overall experience. Her practicality has earned the respect of fellow soldiers, and she often works hard alongside them, helping to achieve their objectives together. Although her straight to the point attitude leaves little room for misinterpretation, it can be a little blunt and off putting for others who work alongside her, as she won’t mince words to please other people’s egos. Due to her young age, Kassia is still rather hopefully, and always hopes and prays for the best, but she always prepares for the worst, since the unpredictable nature of warfare often causes problems. She will often have several back-up plans formulated and ready to put into action at a moment’s notice, and she always ensures she and the soldiers under her command are as well-equipped as possible and equipment kept in order, cleaned, and repaired. Kassia openly talks about her desire to rise the ranks in the regiment and hopes to one day be in charge of an entire regiment. Privately however she hopes to survive her time in the guard and settle down on a small farm and start a family, she fears however that with the current situation in the Galaxy, she may not be able to achieve that dream, and so she throws herself into her job, fighting hard to ensure she can achieve that dream. » POSITIVE TRAITS ✔ Practical ✔ Organised ✔ Hopeful ✔ Soft-spoken » NEGATIVE TRAITS ✘ Blunt ✘ Naive ✘ Overly Cautious ✘ Distant » LIKES ✔ Hard Workers ✔ Competent Soldiers ✔ Family and Friends ✔ Lasguns/Heavy Stubbers » DISLIKES ✘ Orks ✘ Egotism ✘ Incompetence ✘ Rain THEIR CONNECTIONS Allies » Regia Kavelo Regia Kavelo is a fellow Sergeant in the 114th Corinthean Guard Regiment, they have worked together on several operations in the past and share quite a few ideals.

Unlike Kassia, Regia is incredibly sociable and easier to get along with. » Branston Orien Branston Orien is a logistics officer in the 114th Corinthean Guard Regiment, socially awkward and quiet, Branston had the patience to deal with Kassia’s bluntness and befriended the young Sergeant.

Branston helps ensure that Kassia’s and Regia’s Squads in particular are well supplied with equipment. » Sara Valentro Kassia’s older sister, she is a Captain in the 114th Corinthean Guard Regiment and helped ensure Kassia’s promotion to Sergeant. She is a tough disciplinarian and still expects her younger sister to fight just as hard as any other soldier in the Regiment.

Enemies » Gallius Cortam Gallius is a Sergeant in the 114th Corinthean Guard Regiment, he was passed over for promotion in favor of Kassia’s promotion, causing him to wait even longer for his promotion.

THEIR APTITUDES Kassia had followed in her older sisters’ footsteps in becoming a member of the Imperial Guard, her father was an enforcer in the local enforcers and had taught his daughter strict discipline and the basics of Lasguns from a young age. Kassia briefly served in the Baronial Militias before joining the Imperial Guard, Kassia underwent astra militarum basic training, where she excelled in field engineering and Urban Warfare.

Her father worked as an enforcer for the Hive Cities Enforcers and was able to afford a modest apartment in the middle of the Hive City. Kassia would grow up playing with the other kids in the Hab Block, and would attend a local school alongside her older sister. Her father would give her a small religious Icon of a Saint, which had belonged to her mother, the Icon depicting angelic figures hovering around the Saint, who held aloft a sword of fire. When she reached her teen years, Kassia began being taught how to use a lasgun by her father, who had recently finished a kidnapping case and had become paranoid about his two daughters safety. Kassia would be taught how to shoot and maintain las weapons, and would be taught the basics of fighting. While Kassia hardly remembers the paranoia with which her father taught her how to fight, she took a liking to shooting, and would join the Baronial Militias, like her older sister had years prior. Kassia would excel in the Baronial Militias, learning discipline and military combat. However she longed for more, and continiuing to follow in her sisters footsteps, would join the Imperial Guard, in the guard she would undergo the grueling basic training, more intense then the Baronial Militias training she had recieved, she honed her lasgun weapon training, becoming one of the best shots in her group. She would also excel at urban warfare, routinely aceing the urban simulations, due to her ambition and talent, she was selected to recieve command training, although she struggled with managing her fellow cadets, her blunt personality resulting in friction with the others. However, due to her sisters recent promotion to captain and the connections that brought with it, Kassia was promoted to sergeant upon leaving her training, much to her surprise. She then spent the next year fighting on the edges of the Corinthe sector, leading an ever changing squad of soldiers on the battlefield, serving in the 114th Corinthean Guard Regiment alongside her sister who was a captain in the regiment. She would befriend fellow sergeant, Regia and Logistics officer Branston during this time and she would form a rivalry with another sergeant, fellow training cadet Gallius who lost out on the position of sergeant due to Kassia's promotion, resulting in him spending another year working hard before being promoted. Due to her personality, Kassia would frequently butt heads with a soldier under her command, the reckless Kara would often argue with Kassia, however due to her natural skills, she somehow was able to stay alive and continue frustrating Kassia. In her first year of duty, her older sister would begin a relationship with Thane Harr, another captain in the 114th, Kassia immensely disliked him from the start, not liking the way he interacted with her sister. During one of her previous deployments, Kassia lost her right arm pulling Kara to safety away from a speeding Ork Trukk, her arm up to her elbow had been blasted off, and above her elbow was badly burned. Due to her sister making friends with a minor tech-priest, Kassia was able to get a decent quality cybernetic arm to replace her lost arm. Contiuning to follow in her sisters footsteps, Kassia aims to rise in the ranks of the guard, not only to make her father and sister proud, but also so she can fulfil her dream of owning a quiant farm, getting married and starting a family.
