=='''Background'''==
Marina doesn't talk much about her past and the details are sketchy.  She hails from the Rim, from the Russian-settled world of Novaya Rodina and though she has family there she'll readily admit it's been over a decade since she's seen them.  She left home at the age of seventeen, desperate to escape the stifling culture of her childhood, and never looked back.  In the years since, she's held any number of jobs as vehicular mechanic, comm tech and ship's engineer.  She was senior engineer on a bulk freighter but abruptly quit six months ago to pursue intinerant jobs, working to pay for her passage from one port of call to the next.

=='''Physical Appearance'''==
Rina is short and sturdy with the muscularity of someone used to hard work.  More often than not she's clad in a mechanic's coveralls, T-shirt and workboots.  Off-duty, she tends toward the hard-wearing and serviceable: cargo pants and tees and boots.    
<br><br>
She has several small nicks and scars on her hands and forearms, all incurred on the job, and she has a few other scars elsewhere that she refuses to talk about when asked.      
<br><br>

=='''Psychological Profile'''==
Rina has a restless and mechanically inquisitive mind and it manifests as fidgeting and general twitchiness when she's forced to be idle.  Rina loathes inactivity and will keep herself busy finicking with small projects and gadgets as much as possible. To stave off stir craziness, Rina will keep a clipboard or notebook and pen at hand, the better to jot down ideas and sketch designs as they occur to her.  Her pockets on-duty and off will have any number of tools, and they will spend more time out of her pockets than in.  
<br><br>
When dealing with machines and ships systems, she's incredibly patient and thorough.  When dealing with people, however, she's pretty much the opposite.  She's blunt and abrasive, careless of their feelings, and brutally honest.  Rina's not unaware of her shortcomings and though she'd rather wait and become familiar with others before throwing herself into conversations and debates, her curiosity and temperament rarely afford her that luxury.  Rina spends a fair amount of time in her social interactions supressing her natural inclinations and her success is usually mixed, with more favorable outcomes occurring with those she knows best.
<br><br>
One notable exception to the above: sex/abuse victims are a hot button issue with Rina.  If she encounters a victim of either type of violence, she's going to want to help. The form the help takes is highly dependent on the situation and the victim, but the desire will be there nonetheless.
