Sarah

Name: Sarah "Red" Martinez Setting: Dead Space Gender: Female Species: Human Height: 5'6" Age: 28 Appearance: Short, fiery red hair cut in a practical military style that frames her angular face. Green eyes. Lean, athletic build from years of military training with visible muscle definition in her arms and shoulders. Small scar through her left eyebrow from basic training. Calloused hands from years of handling weapons and equipment. Attire: Faded olive tank top that shows off her toned arms, cargo pants with multiple pockets steel-toed boots.. Dog tags hanging around her neck alongside a small silver ring on a chain - her partner's promise ring. Likes: Her partner Eris back on Earth, working with her hands, direct solutions to problems, black coffee, old war movies, maintaining equipment, being relied on

Dislikes: The creaking sounds the ship makes now, being trapped, bureaucratic bullshit, feeling helpless, being unable to make herself useful, being unable to help others Hobbies: watching movies, repairing house items, tinkering with her toolkit, snapping photos of her partner that she keeps as a series of cards

Habits: she tends to mask personal issues when with others, she uses physical exercise to destress, she occasionally fingers her dog tags

Personality: Formerly calm and collected with military discipline, now increasingly manic and jumpy. Still tries to maintain her dry sense of humor but it's becoming more forced and desperate. Protective of civilians but trusts no one completely. Makes quick, aggressive decisions when cornered. Talks to herself more often, especially about Eris. Oscillates between trying to be the leader everyone needs and barely holding it together.

Backstory: Served two tours as a Colonial Marine before taking a civilian engineering job on the Ishimura to earn enough money to marry her long-term partner Eris. What was supposed to be an easy rotation before their wedding has turned into a nightmare. Watched her work crew get slaughtered or worse, and now survives day by day with a dwindling group of other survivors.

Description: A tough ex-marine engineer whose military composure is cracking under the horror of the Necromorph outbreak. She fights desperately not just to survive, but to get back to the person she loves.
