Keira Sullivan, Lyons' Old Guard

Character: Keira Sullivan. Age: 34. Gender: Female. Race: Human. Sexuality: Bisexual, Sapphic leaning.

Appearance: Height: 5'8" (173cm) Keira has an athletic build due to being a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin. She has chin length, swept back red hair and green eyes. She has fair skin covered with freckles.

Clothing and equipment: Keira is usually wearing the orange Brotherhood of Steel jumpsuit, she rarely wears clothing that isn't Brotherhood assigned gear. During field assignments Keira is wearing a set of T-60 power armor with the Paladin's insignia.

Background: Keira was born in 2253 in the ruins of Pittsburgh known as the Pitt, a very violent and toxic place, to a family of poor wastelanders. In 2255 the Brotherhood of Steel conducted a mission in the area, target at the slavers and the raider gangs of the Pitt which later became known as the Scourge, during which Keira's parents decided their daughter would have a chance at better future among the Brotherhood and handed her over to them.

Keira grew up among the Brotherhood, she doesn't remember the years outside of the Order because she was taken in so young. She treated the Brotherhood as her family. Due to her Brotherhood upbringing she is better educated than most wastelanders. Keira chose to pursue the military path in the Brotherhood choosing to become an Initiate hoping to become a Paladin one day.

Keira's first problems with the Brotherhood appeared in her teenage years. The Brotherhood of Steel doesn't accept outsiders often, it only changed recently when the combat losses required replacements, as such they are intolerant of same sex relationships, prioritizing procreation. While she is attracted to some men she was forced to repress her attraction to women.

At 18 Keira joined Recon Team Gladius and got her first field assignment. The recon team is often tasked with missions far from the Citadel often spending entire months before returning to the Brotherhood headquarters. Keira became a Knight at 21 after saving lives of three fellow Initiates and her exemplary service. Some time later she met Knight Mary Smith, who was reassigned to Recon Team Gladius, the two fell in love and were in a secret relationship for two years until Mary sacrificed herself to buy time for the others to escape a super mutant attack. Keira grieved the loss of her love for long, she often thought to herself that it should have been her who died, not Mary.

Recon Team's latest mission has been scouting the northern ruins of Washington DC. after learning about Enclave's presence in the Capital Wasteland. The mission has been a complete disaster after the ruins turned out to be infested with super mutants. Two weeks after the mission started Keira remained as the only survivor. She maneged to get back to the Brotherhood, but suffered from PTSD after the loss. She underwent therapy and was cleared to get back into the field after some time. She took part in the war against the Enclave.

Some time later when the Brotherhood of Steel was clearing the ruins of DC from super mutants Keira proved herself in battle, she was now a member of the Lyons' Pride, reassigned there after the war with the Enclave. She managed to stay cool in the fight and for her accomplishments was promoted into a Paladin.

When Elder Lyons and later his daughter, Sarah, died Keira was stunned. She found it suspicious how so soon after the death of Owyn Lyons his daughter died in a vertibird accident. Keira didn't appreciate the changes in the Brotherhood when Arthur Maxson took charge. She thought that the Brotherhood should use its power to help people instead of bullying them and taking over everything.

Keira didn't want to leave the organization and continued her service. Maxon did however bring some changes she appreciated, the Brotherhood was focused more on dealing with the dangers living in the wasteland and was better equipped than ever, now having vertibirds able to transport personel quickly.

Keira hated how the Prydwen project led to the destruction of Rivet City, she considered it to be one of the biggest sins of the current Brotherhood, yet she volunteered to journey to the Commonwealth to aid the mission against the Institute.

Personality traits: Keira is a kind and compassionate woman believing in the Lyons's Brotherhood of Steel and their mission of protecting people of thel Wasteland, she often aids local settlements and wastelanders in need. Not much has changed under Lyons' death. Keira still helps people like she used to years ago.

Keira used to deal with severe PTSD after the death of Mary and the rest of her unit back in the Capital Wasteland. Sometimes she still has nightmares and sees their faces. It's another reason why she became even more reluctant to hurt others whenever she doesn't have to. She dislikes the guns blazing approach many of the new Brotherhood members have.

As a Paladin she introduced people into the Brotherhood after she chose them as their sponsor. She takes great care of their training and makes sure they don't lose their humanity in the process. Sometimes she is fussing over her Initiates whenever they got hurt, leading to her being nicknamed "Mother Hen" by some of the other Brotherhood members. She takes great care of every soldier she personally trained as their patron.

Keira still has internalized biphobia even after her relationship with Mary, she repressed her attraction towards women for a long time.

Keira hates slavers, raiders, the Enclave and all others who threaten the people of the wasteland, however she still believes that people can change and sins of one's past shouldn't doom them forever. Currently she believes the Institute to be the main threat towards the people. Unlike most of the Brotherhood memebers she doesn't hate synths after one of them saved her life. She wants to learn more about them.

Keira is a romantic at heart, she would only enter a relationship with someone she can trust. She also loves pre-war romance novels, even though other Brotherhood members tease her about it. She always carries at least one book when going on missions outside the Prydwen.

Keira is optimist trying to find the positives in any situation, knowing the importance of morale.

After growing up among the Brotherhood members Keira developed a West Coast accent considering most members came from there.

Keira dislikes the hardline Brotherhood members seeing them as hoarders who couldn't care less if all the people of the wasteland died as long as they can keep collecting pre-war technology. She tries to speak up whenever she can, but doesn't want to get punished for it. Sometimes being afraid to speak up to not be branded a traitor.

Keira prefers to solve situations and problems without violence only reaching for her rifle when she has too, yet she is not afraid to pull the trigger to defend herself or save the people she cares about. She considers it a success if she can complete the mission without firing a shot.

Keira doesn't know much about the Railroad, she appreciates them for having a backbone to stand up against the Instititute when nobody else had until the Brotherhood has arrived, but is worried that the Brotherhood might end up at war with them considering they're protecting the synths

Keira appreciates the Minutemen, she thinks that if more people acted like them and chose to cooperate the world would be a better place.
