Name: Kestrel
 
Race: Saddle Arabian
 
Class: Omniseer (Mage/Tracker)
 
Gender: Female
 
Cutie Mark: Two stylized pistols against a bloodshot eye (+1 when attacking with pistols)
 
Skills:
 
Cyberspace Drift (Fourth Eye) - Kestrel’s visor carries an on-board cyberspace deck that allows her access the grid directly through any nearby wireless node. Once there, her uncanny pattern recognition allows her to draw almost precognitive conclusions from mundane information.
[Spell; can see beyond walls, barriers, illusions, lies and the fourth wall. Can make one roll to tap into meta information and listen in on out of character discussion.]
 
Overwatch Visor Interface (Hawkeye) - Easily the most expensive tech she owns, Kestrel’s mirrored visor is built directly into her skull, a state-of-the-art combat HUD that relays back continuous battlefield analysis. It renders her field of vision in ultra-high resolution, allowing her to see great distances and notice small details. Multiple vision modes include infrared, EM, and night vision. A suite of targeting software scans for weaknesses and calculates optimal bullet trajectories.
The visor’s secondary function is to hide the visible bloodshot streaks Kestrel’s eyes have developed over years of prolonged cyberspace usage, which is why she rarely takes it off.
[Instant; see far into the distance, find small details in a scene, see in dim light or nighttime, or examine an enemy to gain a +1 bonus against it for your attack this turn]
 
Gambler’s Instincts (Reflex Shot) - Though it comes and goes, subtle layers of pattern recognition occasionally flit through Kestrel’s mind like a light breeze, bringing an instant of pre-cognition that enables her to line up an impossibly perfect shot.
[Requires ranged weapon, recharge 1; this attack can be used while helpless. Otherwise, deals double damage as well as suffers double counterattack damage.]
 
Racial Traits:
 
Cardiovascular Augments (Arabian Endurance) - Kestrel has paid to have her heart and lungs infused with nanobots that can keep her pulse steady and her blood cool under even extreme conditions.
[automatic instant/passive; once per combat; Saddle Arabians are known for their tenacity and endurance in harsh conditions. Once per combat if you are rendered helpless you may use this racial skill to immediately recover on your turn. You are immune to any adverse effects typical for a desert, and you suffer no penalties for fighting in desert environs.]
 
Nerve Augments (Arabian Agility) - Advanced nerve enhancements allow her to react with frightening superequine speed.
[Passive; Your swiftness allows you to perform hit-and-run attacks with ease. In conditions that don’t impair your movement, all your offensive skills gain the Ranged tag when used on targets on the ground. You also gain a +1 bonus to ranged attacks.]
 
Appearance:
 
A cream-colored pony with a cinnamon mane, Kestrel’s Saddle Arabian descent is evident if one looks closely at her slender limbs, though she has inherited little of their standard height. A long trenchcoat is worn over a set of light padded armor. The mirrored chrome of her visor now lies where her eyes once were. Her two custom pistols hang at her sides, smooth gunmetal hilts.
