Bio: My name is Kaitlin Harwood. Please, just call me Katie. Formality may be flattering, but isn't necessary.
You may not know who I am, although if you do I'm very glad, & you may have met me at some point in time if you have ever stopped in at the Ocracoke Cafe. I'm eighteen, a waitress, & a high-school graduate. I'm working until I have enough for College. Only another...oh...two-hundred-fifty-grand to-go...heh... Overall, my life's pretty good. Well, it is in this go-around anyway...
You see, it hasn't always been like this. This is my second life. I was once one of the souls that had been trapped aboard the Antonia Graza, by Jack Ferriman. I had been one in eleven hundred aboard the ship, just a drop of water in the ocean of souls he was collecting to fill his 'quota'.
I had been on my way to meet my parents in New York City. They had business to attend to & thus had to leave ahead of schedule. I never made it. On May 21st, 1962, Jack Ferriman led a mutiny aboard the ship & killed every passenger, myself included. As the mutiny died down, the crew-members turned on one-another until all had been slain.
I was trapped on that cursed ship for forty years, along with all those others that had been slain as well. Then, hope came in the form of a salvaging crew. One woman in-particular was the brightest beacon of this new-found hope: Maureen Epps. Ferriman killed her crew, her family. I did all I could to help, but at that time I was a ghost. You can't help very much when you can't even touch a solid object.
However, Epps defeated Ferriman by blowing the Antonia Graza out of the water with explosives she'd placed in the engine room. All of my shipmates & I were freed from the Graza. All of us were given either full or partial reprieves. Mine was a full reprieve. As such, I was reincarnated.
I don't think it was done 'quite' right though, as I was born (for the second time) in 1990. Twelve years before I was freed from the Graza. I've got nothing to complain about though. Well, I didn't anyway, until I had the rude realization that Jack Ferriman was alive & well. That wasn't the best thing that I could've found out, but it wasn't necessarily the worst either.
As it turns out, there's something called the 'Collector Codex', which is filled with rules & regulations that Soul Collectors must abide-by. One rule states that any soul that a Collector tried to collect, & failed to do so, may not even be attempted to be collected by the same Collector, or any other Collector.
It just so happens that Jack Ferriman was promoted to 'Rear Admiral' in the Collector's ranking system, & all of Los Angeles county was put under his jurisdiction, which, in-turn, immediately makes him the local 'Enforcer of the Codex'. Thus, I can't be touched, or collected anyway...
Weaknesses: I'm human now, so I can be killed. 'AGAIN'. I also don't like to be reminded of the events aboard the Graza. I think being human pretty much says it all though.
Strengths: I'm level headed (unless I'm around Jack), patient (except with Jack), understanding (I hope you get the point already that just about anything I say is going to include Jack as an exception), thoughtful, I'm pretty much an all-around nice person. However, I do know how to argue a point & get my way when the time calls for it.
Skills: Archery, sword-play, pistolry, kick-boxing, cooking, cleaning, waitress-ing (I don't know if that counts, but I'm saying it anyway), sailing...I'm average on just about everything else, but you never know what else I might be good at...
Powers: None...that I know of...
