OOC - Please give a big BD welcome (back) to Jenni. You may remember
her from such characters as Eve and Jasmine.
Good to have you back!
Real Name: Jenni
Character Name: Guinevere Winters
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Nationality: Martian, technically as she was born on Mars, but very
much human.
Department: engineering
Job Title: Multi purpose mechanic
Physical Appearance:
Guinevere is fair skinned, tall, slender and muscular, especially in
the upper arms. She has shoulder length straight strawberry blonde
hair that is always in a ponytail, her eyes seem to sparkle a peridot
green. Her left eyebrow is pierced usually hosting a silver sleeper.
She has a medium sized black panther tattooed on her right shoulder
and a green Egyptian Ankh tattooed on the small of her back.
Guinevere is usually found in (working or not) black steel cap work
boots, filthy oil stained dark blue overalls with one clasp undone
and a black long sleeved turtle neck sweater under her overall's that
don't cover her mid-drift.
Guinevere usually has small blood blisters under most of her
fingernails which she chews. She has several small scars over her
body from various incidents. She has a heavily scarred left kneecap,
a slight limp and a long thick scar on her stomach that goes from the
left side all the way to the right side, these are from when she was
14 and helping fix a Starbug, while underneath working on the landing
gear she was partially crushed, due to the internal damage she can
not have children of her own.
Personality and Interests:
Guinevere loves mechanics and engines, getting dirty and getting
drunk. Fixing a dirty engine drunk would be one of her favourite past
times. She's one of the boys disliking anything feminine, apart from
her teddy bear Rupert whom no one knows about. She loves her
magazines and comic books and to play pool, she usually wins too.
Guinevere enjoys beating guys she doesn't know in arm wrestles and
chin up competition's.
While Guinevere does drink a lot she isn't a drunk nor does she have
an alcohol problem, she just drinks more then a person should, she
doesn't get completely $h!t-faced all that often as she holds her
liquor rather well for a woman of her size, mainly due to her vast
experience in the substance.
She may wear filthy overalls and her work station has tools, engine
parts, bottles of bourbon and papers everywhere, but she is not a
slob! When it comes to her own quarters she is very clean and fairly
neat, even though her fridge is full of beer, left over pizza and
pancake mix, she loves pancakes.
Guinevere dislikes losing, her mother, hot weather, most vegetables,
canines, spiders.
History:
Guinevere grew up as the second youngest and only girl of five
children. Her three older brother's Griffith, Reece, Christopher and
even her younger brother Stuart are all over protective of her, due
to this she hung around them more then she should have and grew into
a tom boy, much to her parents dismay.
Her parents, Lois and Neil are both scientists working on several
projects for the Mars JMC Space Core Division, hence why all Winter's
children were born and grew up there. Lois and Neil encouraged their
children to follow in their footsteps and to their delight Griffith
and Reece certainly did. Christopher and Stuart on the other hand
became Flyboys, although Stuart is a very flamboyant one. Guinevere
forged her own path into engineering and mechanics out of spite to
her parents as she enjoys worrying/upsetting them.
Her brother's Griffith and Reece dabbled in viruses in their spare
time. Reece died during one of their extremely dangerous experiments
that they conducted in the family `basement' when Guinevere was only
16. The Winters were evacuated and relocated while their house was
destroyed. Griffith was thoroughly shaken by the ordeal that he had
witnessed and after a year in Quarantine, he assigned himself to a
science mission on board JMC Helio, a relatively small space vessel.
While he is still in contact with his family he hasn't been with them
since he left.
Her brother's Christopher and Stuart were pilot's for Mars JMC Space
Core Division, each specialising in smaller vessels. Only a few
months before Guinevere was assigned to JMC Blue Dwarf, Christopher
died crashing his blue midget `The Wren' into a larger vessel's Drive
room.
Stuart still flies and has even become more reckless since
Christopher's death. He and Guinevere are in favourable contact more
then the rest of the family as their parents don't appreciate his
life style.
Her parents are currently stationed on Uranus still working for JMC
for months at a time, Guinevere is in regular contact with them as
her mother likes to video phone her daughter no less then once a week
to remind her how they wished she had turned out different.
Cerebrum would probably find her a dream patient if Guinevere would
allow him to treat her.
Favourite Sayings:
"Sure I can fix it
But I don't wanna." Money is waved in her
face "Well when you put it that way."
