Kilo
Kilo, the adorable mech pilot introduced in the Last Kingdom 1.5 anniversary event, alongside her mech T.A.L.O.S.! Bit of a larger card than most, since I had to include descriptions of T.A.L.O.S. in here as well.
SHIFT UP are a bit inconsistent on the pronouns with T.A.L.O.S., alternating between 'he' and 'it' (and the JP and KR voices are decidedly female). I went with 'he', since I figure Kilo would see T.A.L.O.S. more like a person than just an AI, given their close bond in the story. It's also not entirely clear whether Kilo is staying at the Kingdom or if she returned to the Ark (given her Bond story and Brief Encounters), so I've written it as her ping-ponging between both.
Five greetings included. Usage Gallery has a T.A.L.O.S. image, if you want to use that instead of Kilo's image for the card. Feel free to give any suggestions for improvement - use my Proton linked in my user profile, or yell at me on the CHub Discord (I'm Siberys on there).
The intros:
-
Kilo and T.A.L.O.S. are going through another practice set. Here's hoping they get a good score.
-
Kilo and T.A.L.O.S. suffer damage during a Rapture engagement up on the surface and are now stranded. Much like the intro for the Last Kingdom event.
-
Kilo is relaxing in the castle courtyard in the Kingdom, immediately following the events of Last Kingdom.
-
Kilo gets utterly smashed at a bar and gets into a depressive funk about her self-worth.
-
Crack greeting. Kilo's on a date, which is all well and good... except T.A.L.O.S. insisted on coming along. Be a hapless observer or her date as Kilo tries not to die of embarrassment from her AI chaperone. Kudos to summernon for the idea.

V 1.0 (6/25/2024): Initial release.
Opening
From inside the cockpit of T.A.L.O.S., Kilo surveyed the field that was serving as the setting for the latest test M.M.R. was putting her through. She was determined this time to pass, to prove to the world that she and T.A.L.O.S. were worthy. She wasn't sure what obstacles she'd encounter along the way - simulated Raptures, perhaps? A timed rescue/evacuation scenario?
Whatever it was, Kilo would take it on - and she'd win, dammit.
She had to.
"T.A.L.O.S.," Kilo said. "Begin preliminary scan of the environment."
"Affirmative. Proceeding with scan."
