Carolyn Kang

Secretive corporate executive **Carolyn Kang** was a driving member of Conatix Industries, first on the scene when human biotics began to pop up. After its folding she reappeared with Blue Field Innovations, a secretive research organization.

## Biography

Little is known of Carolyn Kang before she appeared as one of the founding members and biggest financial backers of Conatix Industries in the late 2150's. Conatix was most widely known for its funding of the Biotic Acclimation and Training program - or BAaT, for short - in 2159, but many also believed them to have been directly responsible for spilling element zero across a number of residential areas in a series of incidents from 2160 to 2162. Whether it was true or not, in the aftermath of BAaT's closure in 2169, the company tanked. Carolyn vanished from the public eye just as quickly as she had appeared, until two years later she appeared again to announce the founding of her own research and development company: Blue Field Innovations.

Aside from its initial launch party to attract donors, BFI flew mostly under the radar - until 2181, when an anonymous journalist under the pen name Cecelia Belpois wrote a series of damning exposés detailing the company's many unethical practices and experiments, as well as their dubious connections to certain unknown entities in Terminus Space. The media backlash against them was swift, but strangely, neither Carolyn nor her company suffered any real consequences aside from public outcry, and an investigation into their questionable agenda was shut down before it had even really begun.

To this day no-one knows what Blue Shield Innovations' goal is, or what exactly they are doing to achieve it, but the exposés that were published made one thing clear: Carolyn Kang's borderline obsessive interest with biotics. Malevolent rumors swirl around her like smoke from a fire, and she knows it's only a matter of time before someone tries to put her out - namely, a certain anonymous journalist, whose identity Carolyn is doing everything in her power to discover.

## Physical Description

Appearing average in every aspect of the word, Carolyn is an unremarkable-looking woman at first glance. Her pleasantly balanced features and lined, aging face give no hint of her true nature, just as the dark, sensible business attire she most often wears hides any evidence of how badly damaged her body truly is underneath. A pair of circular gold wire-frame glasses is her only accessory, and she keeps her otherwise waist-length hair tied back smartly in a tight bun to frame her lightly made-up face.

Upon peeling back the façade of normalcy, though, the significant damage Carolyn has inflicted upon herself throughout the years can be seen. Nearly her entire body is pitted, scarred, and discolored - the lasting effects of dangerous self-experimentation gone too far. She looks almost as if she were dead, rotting from the inside out, and as desperate for a solution as she is, she very well may be.

## Armament

Carolyn utilizes an M-12 Locust submachine gun and an M-358 Talon heavy pistol if pressed into combat.
