Abilities/Skills: Troa is an AS pilot. She is among the best in the galaxy and the name 'Blue Death' is well known throughout the outreach. She is capable of handling her machine at high speeds and in all environments. The Blue Death itself is a very special AS able to alter its specs for just about any situation possible. Naturally being an AS pilot Troa has talents as a psychic, but her skill in that department is specialized to piloting so don't expect to see her hurling objects or reading minds. She is resistant to most psychic attacks, but she is not immune. Outside of her ace AS skills she is a capable soldier and prefers to use a handgun and combat knife to defend herself. She also has skills as an infiltrator, but again her primary skill is her ability to pilot an AS.

Equipment: Troa wears a skin tight, white pilot suit specifically designed for The Blue Death. Over that suit she wears a short orange flight jacket with an AS pit logo on the back. She frequently wears a pair of sunglasses and has a helmet for when she is piloting her AS. She also carries a small PDA for remote controlling the Blue Death, communicating with people and any manner of mobile activities. She has a a pistol and about two magazines on her as well as a combat knife for combat situations.

Outside of equipment on Troa she owns only The Blue Death. The rarity of Arm Slaves, their mechanics and their parts makes them more costly than most ships; Thus naturally owning a ship and an AS is far too expensive even for a famous AS pilot like Troa. The Blue Death, however is an exceptional machine. Its speed is comparable to a light weight AS, while still being medium class. It carries a wide variety of armaments, but the most common configuration Troa uses is her semi-auto 40mm rifle, shoulder mounted short range cluster missiles, dual wrist mounted beam sabers, abdomen mounted Gatling guns and a shoulder mounted beam cannon, although for weight purposes she will, as often as she doesn't, leave the beam cannon behind in favor of increased speed. The Blue Death is famed for its versatility.

Personality: Troa is calm and calculating. She tries to think things through and be cautious, but finds herself still rushing through things often. Most Importantly she has a temper. She is quick to anger and even quicker to act out. It is not uncommon for her to start a fight or lash out in a fit of anger. She has a weak spot for alcohol and particularly enjoys fine wine. She has a strong will and strives to be the best AS pilot she can be. She does not give up on a task easily once she has set her mind to it.

Background: Troa grew up an ordinary girl in the Kritikos house (A branch of the Kostas House). She showed some psychic talent as a young girl and became obsessed with watching the AS fights when her family would vacation out to Tornatore each summer. She decided one day to become an AS pilot and against her family's wishes (since AS fights are something for outreach scum, not noble Kostas girls) and set out for the outreach. It took her many years of fending off travelers and working in the AS pits until she finally got the opportunity to step into an AS and prove her worth. She got her chance when the original designated pilot of the Blue Death was fired just before his fight. Troa stepped in, without permission, and won her fight. Her employer, a Khopesh with a hidden agenda by the name of Ahmene, decided to let her continue to pilot the AS, but only if she kept her identity a secret. After striking a clever deal with Ahmene, Troa eventually gained ownership of the Blue Death and continued to fight in the pits independently.
