Editing Character:Zilla Nimitz

[[Category:Character|Zilla Nimitz]]

A character for ''Cyberpunk 2020'', Chalkline's house rules, character created by Shadowjack.

A gleefully stereotypical triggergrrl, following in the footsteps of Revy Two-Hands and Molly Millions. I came across the nickname "Zilla" in a list of German names, and ''immediately'' knew it was the right one.

=== Description ===
Cecilia "Zilla" Nimitz, known to law enforcement under various aliases.

Female; age about 20 (b. 1990?); dirty blonde, grey eyes, light skin tending toward tan. Small but tough. Heart-with-skull tattoo on upper right back.

==== Notes ====
She also owns an old Kevlar police helmet and a vehicle, but she didn't bring either.

Most of the time she doesn't bother with all this – maybe half the stuff in her beltpack, and a gun and a jacket in her gym bag if she's working. But since she's embarking on yet another World Travel Adventure!, she likes to be prepared. She'll ditch most of the kit in the hotel room or wherever as soon as she can.

Obviously, the knives and such have to be checked with her luggage, instead of carried onto the plane, and she can't bring the flare at all; assume she re-equips herself as soon as possible.

Most of the personal shit she already owned, or grabs for trivial cost at the first convenience store she sees; she can easily play the role of the college-age backpacker, since she often ''is'' one. The major expenses are the binoculars and skin diving gear (purchased second- or third-hand), and the '''''totally irresponsible''''' purchase of the camera, all of which probably leaves her with about $3800 remaining of her cash allotment. Not that the camera may not be useful, but she really only got it because she wanted it.

The rest of the money she's keeping for arms and travel expenses. The thought of equipment other than weapons honestly has not occurred to her yet. A little of her money is on pre-paid VISA, but most of it in cash.

=== Background ===
Born Cecilia Nimitz in East Germany just around the time of Reunification, and grew up on the bad side of a bad town. Lived in the U.S. for a time with other family, and ended up living and working in that shady interzone that cyberpunk characters know so well. 

Cheerful; brutal; might be cute if she cleaned up, which she doesn't, of course. About what you'd expect for the archetype.

Her best friend in the whole world is her M16A3 assault rifle. That's the full auto version.

She's made a name for herself lately in the Los Angeles underworld riding shotgun for couriers or doing enforcement work. But she likes to travel, and has been to many countries, sometimes for work, and sometimes just as a tourist. She's only been in prison once. She does not count her kills. 

Lately, those who know her may have noticed a sudden shyness in her, which seems to have to do with something that happened on a job in France that went bad. It's known she was shot up pretty badly. She laughed off the obvious rumors and ordered another beer. And pulled a knife on one guy who pressed too hard, since she's that kind of a gal.

What maybe only one or two other people know, thanks to a prolonged bar crawl last Christmas: When she was wounded badly back in France, she thought she encountered God. What she thinks happened between the two of them is something she's refused to talk about. It hasn't stopped her from working the streets like before, though, whatever it was. Well, any gunslinger has to be a little crazy, right?

Sanchez hired her because he knows she's travelled, she's a sharp fighter who can sometimes play well with others, and she's lately turned down work with people like human traffickers, which suggests she might not be the type to turn around and re-sell the rescuee. In the team, she fills the role of the "loose cannon that you point at the enemy", though I figure she's also good at playing the smiling tourist girl and gathering intel with her cellphone camera. But the lady plays drunk mumbletypeg and sleeps with an assault rifle. She ain't no-how sane and pleasant company.
