holy cow I managed to finish it in time.
Player name: Rere
Character name: Mona Nystrom Age: 25 Profession: Lab technician for Ad Meliora, focusing on chemical analysis
Power, if applicable: N/A
Where do they live?: Agent Apartment 706 with Riley Lezard
Personality: If Mona didn't speak, you'd probably forget she was there at all.
And even still, you might forget her every now and then.
She is very shy and considers herself all but forgettable. Her opinion of herself hovers somewhere between low and rock bottom levels – she doesn't think she's smart or particularly pretty, and even when she does some technically fabulous lab work, she's hesitant to admit that she made any contribution. It's cost her promotions, friendships, and just about everything in between. She's the hardest to get along with easy to get along with person you might ever meet, because her own insecurities are universally frustrating. She's nice, so nice that you'd probably never catch her saying anything bad about anyone, but she'[s more submissive and wibbly than a wimp noodle sometimes.
Additionally, Mona is very body-shy. She doesn't know what to do with herself half the time, is ashamed of her not-quite-flat stomach, and thinks every little imperfection is a dealbreaker. She's not comfortable with herself or her femininity, and it shows.
Mona is also easily embarrassed and has trouble speaking up for herself. She'll put anyone before herself even if they don't deserve it, will lose arguments on purpose, back down from any fight...She's hesitant and indecisive and quiet, which can be cute for a while but hard to swallow after prolonged exposure.
Truthfully, she might have been too soft for science. She apologizes to her test animals when she has to euthanize them – even if they're just embryos – and is generally very delicate. She's winced at her own test results before then gone directly to record them. None of this softness actually seems to get in the way of her doing her job (Mona is very focused and curious enough to keep pushing the boundaries of SCIENCE, as well as willing to see anything through to the end), but it does make one wonder how she ended up a lab bitch.
She thinks that the internet is basically the best invention in the history of men inventing things. Her desk and parts of her apartment are decorated in Think Geek chic, she plays World of Warcraft fairly regularly, and frequents a variety of forums and haunts, including the Cheezburger Network and...4chan. For the most part her internet presence is silent. She does a lot of lurking and, at the most, anonymous interaction, but once in a while Mona finds a forum she can frequent without getting run out, and she becomes very expressive and outgoing in these few and far between sanctuaries.
Raised Lutheran, Mona remains observant to this day. Her church attendance has gone down since she started working in the AM labs, for various reasons, but her faith has not waned.
