STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
OVERVIEWHawkeye is a woman not to be trifled with. Standing 5'2" on a good day, you wouldn't think she's someone to fear but that illusion is short lived. Hawkeye can bring a man twice her size to his knees with nothing but her sharp words, keen glare and distinct ability to make you feel two inches tall. Her temper can reign the most rebellious of men into line. She keeps a straight face at all times, strict professionalism radiating around her like an invisible shield. Because of this rather frosty outward projection of herself, most people are convinced Hawkeye doesn't know how to crack a smile or laugh. Her strict preference to be called by her last name has even convinced quite a few folks that Hawkeye is her first name. Hawkeye lets them believe what they want and doesn't buy into gossip, choosing to do the smart thing and mind her own business. In doing so, she expects others to pay her the same courtesy or have hell to pay because Hawkeye is a very private person. She holds her cards close and keeps a wary eye on those around her. When her superiors speak, she takes it with a grain of salt and steps with caution because she's played this game all her life, dealing with men that would love nothing more than to see her mess up. Hawkeye, though considered quite the sight, is politely passed up by most men in the Shatterdome because of her hard exterior and tendency to not show skin. She keeps to the regulation long pants, boots, belt and shirt with elbow-length sleeves, often covered by a windbreaker, preferring not to flaunt or really give a hint that she's anything worth looking twice at. She can command a room with a sharp glare but when it comes to physically putting herself out there, Hawkeye tends to shy away.

HISTORY
Most people grew up with the kaiju and jaegers being bedtime stories. For Liza Hawkeye, these relics of the past weren't just relics. Her mother passed away when Liza was just three years old, leaving her to the care of her father whom worked on designing weapons for the military. His specialty revolved around kaiju and jaegers, specifically in designing jaegers. Everyone thought he was crazy because instead of focusing on the small Mark 6 jaegers used for construction, he was focused on the two pilot jaegers, insisting that if the world needed them once, they would be needed again. It made him the laughing stock of his field, drove him to the occasional drinking binge and caused him to fill Hawkeye's young mind with pictures and film reels of the old kaiju attacks and jaeger battles. At school, kids made fun of Hawkeye for her father's 'kaiju craze'. With her father in one ear telling her all about how to drift and how to maintain perfect control and her classmates laughing in the other, Hawkeye thought she would lose her mind before she was nine.
Dr. Hawkeye pushed his daughter to be not only weapons smart but to be in control of herself, punishing her severely when she spoke out of turn or got into fights at school. Hawkeye wasn't sure she could survive with her father much longer but things changed shortly after Hawkeye turned thirteen when, at two in the morning her father got a phone call. Apparently a friend of his and his wife had been in an accident and died at the scene. The next morning, a scruffy little boy was deposited on their doorstep for lack of anywhere else to go. He became Hawkeye's constant companion and soon foster brother when no other family could be found for him. His name was Roy Marshall and he was troublemaker if Hawkeye ever met one but he was her best friend. He taught her how to laugh and smile and how to be comfortable in her own skin as they blazed through middle school and high school. His laughter and tendency for mischief drowned out her father's crazy and let Hawkeye become something other than the daughter of the insane scientist.
When high school drew to an end however, Hawkeye knew she had to make a decision. She didn't want to leave her brother but she couldn't deal with her father who seemed to get worse year by year, raving about how the kaiju would return and the world would need his jaeger designs. Each time an agency shut down his project proposals he just stepped a little closer to true insanity. By seventeen, Hawkeye had had enough. She signed up for the army and the day after graduating from high school was gone, heading for training and leaving her foster brother and crazy father behind. Six months later...the world went to hell. It turns out that Hawkeye's dad hadn't been quite so crazy. The breach opened again and kaiju came trickling out. The world panicked. Many of the young men and women that had been 'kaiju groupies' in school rushed to sign up for the reinstated Pan Pacific Defense Corps but Hawkeye refused to go. The pacific may be a hotspot but she knew the rest of the world needed governing too and purposefully refused to be drift tested, choosing instead to be sent to Afghanistan where for years extremists had been causing trouble in surrounding areas. From Afghanistan she went to Egypt and from Egypt to Mongolia, keeping thousands of miles between herself and the pacific coast at all times. Her father tried multiple times to contact her, as did Roy but Hawkeye kept the letters but never sent any back. Her father's crazy had ruined her childhood and she didn't want anything to do with it. Let the braver souls deal with the kaiju, she was good enough to know she too afraid to let someone into her head like the drift for the big jaegers demanded.
At 26, she'd been successfully running from her father for eight years, through twelve landlocked countries. It all caught up with her when Hawkeye received a visit from a courier while she was working with a push against war lords moving imported kaiju body parts in Sudan. Her father had died after eight years of working on bringing his jaegers to life, selling his designs to other engineers to refine and bring to life. There was one jaeger he had spent his time on, all eight years putting it together piece by piece. It was code named Flaming Hawk, currently kept at the Anchorage Shatterdome. It was built and waiting for a pilot but...nobody could access it. Just as he had completed it, and prior to the heart attack that ended his life, George Hawkeye put a genetic lock on Flaming Hawk's operating systems. The jaeger was a multi-million dollar statue because of that lock. Reluctantly, Hawkeye went to Anchorage to unlock Flaming Hawk and after several days of contemplating the jaeger and reading what she could get her hands on about them, she decided to pilot her father's legacy. She knew Roy was a jaeger pilot, had even watched him fight once or twice in Indonesia. She thought long and hard about sending the jaeger to him but all of the files said he was copiloting Echo Tango so Hawkeye blazed through the training and began looking for a copilot. Experienced and rookie candidates lined up to test their compatibility only to land face first or flat on their ass in one swing. The few people that showed potential, when drifting with her, never produced a strong neural handshake. Hawkeye wouldn't let herself drift, always fighting it and keeping her memories so suppressed that no one could link with her.
For months she tried to find a pilot and slowly the PPDC got impatient. They needed Flaming Hawk to be in use and Hawkeye wasn't delivering. One day however, news reached anchorage that Echo Tango was being reassigned and two rookies from Anchorage would be transferring to take over. Hawkeye barged into the marshal's office and demanded to know what was going on. It turns out, Echo Tango pilot Maes Hughes had been killed when the chopper he was in for transport went down, caught in the crossfire of a kaiju fight. That left one Roy Marshall without a copilot and a blatant refusal to approach Echo Tango. It was a split second decision for Hawkeye to appeal to have Flaming Hawk taken to Reever's Island where Shatterdome 13 waited, and where Roy was being shipped to after Indonesia. The marshal in Anchorage reluctantly agreed and put the request through to transfer Flaming Hawk and Hawkeye in a last ditch attempt to get Hawkeye to establish a drift compatibility. Her transfer was approved and Roy agreed to try their drift compatibility.
Currently, Hawkeye is en route with Flaming Hawk's transport, her father's files and records of Flaming Hawk as her only companions.
