Real Name (first name only will do): Gus
AIM Screenname (optional): blitzvonkrieg@hotmail.com
Character's Full Name: Kilian Cassandra Rommel Qatar
Nickname: Kili
Date of Birth: January 1st, 1993
Place of Birth: Berlin, Germany
Appearance (provide either a description or photograph): www.bestcelebwallpapers.com/wallpapers/previews/23952-tricia-helfer.jpg
Character Model: Tricia Helfer
Personality: Kind and caring, Kilian can sometimes be considered a "bleeding heart". She has something of a hero complex and likes to defend people that are around her. She also is not afraid to challenge a bully over something that they have done to someone else. In that regard she could be considered to be somewhat brash, and definitely bold in her actions. Aside from that, she is also intelligent and likes to think of herself as something of an inventor and a philosopher. She exercises her mind just as often as her body, believing that doing so makes a person well balanced. Cultures of the world are also very important to her.
Occupation: Heiress to Qatar Industries
Biography: The Qatar family line can traced back as far as at least a thousand years, and is often said to be several millenia old. As legend goes, the Qatar line was one of the first families to settle in Mesopotamia after the destruction of the Tower of Babel. From there they built a small empire and were a family of local warlords until Alexander the Great began heading for the area. It was then that most of the family moved to the lower portion of present day Saudi Arabia. Some however, did stay behind.
A few centuries passed and the family grew wealthy, many of them were weapons smiths and soldiers, and all held high standing in the local area. The Arabian portion of the family then split once more, some heading to Egypt, others heading into modern Iraq & Iran, and the remainder staying in Saudi Arabia. The Mesopotamian portion also split, branching out into modern Turkey.
A couple more centuries passed, and the portions of the families began to grow apart, even began to refer to themselves as different "houses". It was then that Ahmed Akil Almahdi Qatar, head of the Saudi Arabian house sent out a challenge to the other houses - a fighting tournament, the prize: all the possetions and persons of the defeated houses should fall under the control of the victorious house. The challenge was accepted, and in the end, the Saudi Arabian house was the victor - and became the ruling house of the Qatar line for all years to come.
In the centuries that passed after that, the Qatar family's power grew and shrank with the times until, finally, the family managed to secure an oil company of its own, independent of the state-controlled Saudi ARAMCO. The company had originally been in construction, and by building many of the oil wells for the government, they were able to broker a deal - as, at that time, the government had little money to pay for all the work. It was worked out that to pay them off the company would be granted oil rights. From there, over the years, the company expanded. Today it is a powerhouse, and has holdings in the Middle East, Europe, and North America. It does everything from simple construction to advanced technologies research, and is considered a Fortune Global 500 company. A good deal of power and wealth come with this life, and this life is the one that Kilian was born into.
From an early age she was taught to be the best that she could be, and it was never hard to impress this upon her. Kilian was a natural student, and loved all sorts of subjects. Her father was actually a citizen of both the United States and Saudi Arabia, and was half Apache. Her mother was full blooded German (thus making her 1/4 Saudi, 1/4 Apache, and 1/2 German - a unique mix). It was because of her heritage that Kilian began looking into all sorts of cultures, and when she was old enough, she made it clear to her parents (who were living in Germany at the time) that she wished to study abroad as well. So far she has gone to school in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, Britain, Japan, China, South Korea, and Ireland. She has come to the United States to finish her highschool career and begin college. Currently she's staying with Peter and Danil, waiting for the next semester to start, as she finished the current one early before coming to the States.
Anything Else: She works on some of the most random inventions, reads a lot, practices martial arts and various types of swordsmanship, and collects pirate flags. On her mother's side she's related to two German "heroes" from WW2 - Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, and Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (the man who nearly overthrew the Nazis via Operation Valkyrie in 1944).
