Editing KHoS:Yana (section)

=Background=
Yana Ivanovna was a conspiracy theorist of the highest order, a searcher for the meaning behind the kaiju attacks - she even dropped out of high school to pursue her crackpot theories. Her search for the truth led her to the Tunguska crater, a place shrouded in legend even before giant monsters began ravaging the earth. Her tests on the site turned up nothing - or at least, not while she was able to continue them, because the kaiju Viy arrived within a week. Even as desperate for knowledge as Yana was, she wasn't stupid enough to hang around during an attack. Her attempts to escape simply weren't enough to get away from Viy's path of destruction, and a cascade of rubble and debris robbed Yana of her right arm. Delirious with blood loss and fear, she was only barely able to make it to civilization - if Viy hadn't lost interest in its prey, she probably wouldn't have survived at all.

Almost before Yana had fully recovered, she enlisted in Russia's hunter training program, its codename PERIMETER left over from the age of governments shrouding their people from the terrible truth of the kaiju. Despite her handicap and her less-than-fit physique, she met, then exceeded the skills of her fellow trainees, driven by sheer, ironbound determination. Upon graduation, she was given her weapon, Koschei Red - a prosthetic arm fitted with enormous claws and a chain to launch its adamantine fist. So far, her hunting career has been fruitful for a trainee - one kill to her name, represented by a tally etched into Koschei Red's shoulder joint.

But Viy is still out there, somewhere, and it has something that belongs to Yana.
