Name: Kristen Lynee Sharpe
Nick/Code/Callsign: Sabre. Note: she is not a SWAT Kat. She works only occassionally as a freelance vigilante when she seems needed and/or a badguy just crashed through her window..
Age: 37
Sex: Female
Description: Kris is a short she-kat with fur so pale a shade of orange its easily mistaken for white in the right light. She sports a series of faint tiger stripes on each arm that are just barely visible. Topping that pale complexion is a frenzy of wild red hair that's rarely in any sort of order. Her most defining feature is probably the two "wings" of hair that fly out to either side of her face, allowing her to see out of the tangle with a pair of bright green eyes that are rarely focused on whatever she may be watching.
Abilities: Courtesy the transformation that happened when she came to the kat world (see History), Kris has considerable sharp-shooting skills, though she hasn't used them against anything beyond test targets and a few rampaging drones. Her preferred weapon is a medieval sword and, when forced into a fight, she has proved rather good with the weapon and does practice in her downtime.
Vehicles/Weapons: Over twenty years old it may be, but Kristen clings to her much beloved Pontiac. The *only* other vehicle she will even attempt driving is an invention of Seeker's termed a "scooter." Essentially it's an all-terrain motorcycle/four-wheeler combination small enough to make weaving through heavily traffic easy.
Kristen is often accompanied by one of Seeker's drones - diminutive flying saucer-like robots that contain an articially intelligent "brain" and a host of gadgets. Kris's "personal" drone - named simply by his number, Number Six - was the first programmed with a personality. Six is both overly protective and vaguely obnoxious at times (Okay, RJ would contend that he's
incredibly obnoxious.). Weapon? Vehicle? This little irritant is both. He has a variety of built-in stun weapons and it's not uncommon for him to use his extendable grasping arms to haul Kris to "safety"... even if that means carting her three miles away.
The only weapon Kris frequently carries is her medieval broadsword that appeared shortly after her kat form. It's a bit smaller than a full-fledged broadsword, but big enough that one wonders how she, small as she is, can even lift it let alone fight with it.
Aside from the sword, Kris has occassionally used a SWAT Kat glovatrix and does own one that she will grudgingly use. Any other form of firearm she wouldn't touch.
Characteristics: Shy, friendly, always wanting to help (however inept she may be at it), and a clutz. Her head has frequented the clouds since grade school and the trait persists. Kris alternates between the soul of shyness and a motor-mouth - it just depends on how much caffeine she's had (she prefers it in the form of Dr. Pepper, for the records).
Occupation: Since coming to MegaKat City Kris found a dream job as an artist for a rather large comic book company whose most popular series is "SWAT Kats."
Relations: Knows all the other former humans - though she's been miserable about keeping in touch. Met Chance and Jake with all the other former humans in her first hour in the kat world. She knows their identities and has fought alongside them once or twice. Met Katrina Korat when she moved into the apartment on the floor below Kris and Seek's penthouse disaster. Is engaged to RJ Tremor.
History: Kris was among a group of humans abruptly flung into the SWAT Kats' dimension and transformed into kats. After living for over a month in the bus she and the others arrived in, she and her brother, Seeker, moved into a nice apartment funded by Seeker's unfathomable bank accounts that seem to have appeared with his kat identity. Kris found her dream job with the comic book company and has more or less settled in to the kat world.
Despite the somewhat abnormal abilities she gained in coming to the kat world and her participation in more than one fiasco, Kris is no true SWAT Kat. For years, she had a flight suit she never returned to Razor and still would never decline to help when needed. Still, she was just an ordinary college student when she came. Becoming a superhero wasn't exactly on her agenda. She doesn't want to pass up possibly her only chance to join the fight of good versus evil, but, fanciful, wild, and fun though the concepts of being a SWAT Kat might be, Kris has never kidded herself on the dangers of crimefighting.
Seventeen years later, the current time of the RPG, Kris still draws comics and still lives in the apartment she and Seek bought. Seeker has ventured out to travelling the world, but he left Kris quite a nice sum of money, a crazily high-tech, fortified apartment, and a squad of robot drones. Currently, she spends her time drawing, playing freelance vigilante, and trying to control a horde of adopted children.
