"Superior training and superior weaponry have, when taken together, a geometric effect on overall military strength. Well-trained, well-equipped troops can stand up to many more times their lesser brethren than linear arithmetic would seem to indicate."- Spartan Battle Manual
Basic Information
Name: Dora Krupp
Gender: Female
Age: 69 (looks to be in her early 40's)
Race: Quincy
Appearance: A rough hewn woman with greying brown hair. Her skin is a bit leathery in appearance and has a few scars. She has piercing blue eyes and a very strong jaw.
Occupation: Senior training instructor for Blackwolf Security Solutions (A Private Military Company that may or may not be linked to Howe Industries)
Affiliation: Wandenreich
Position/Rank: Jagdarmee Veteran
Fears: Belonephobia: Fear of needles, developed at a young age, she can't stand the sight of them. Being stabbed repeatedly by them would probably break her within 48 hours.
Personality: Dora is a very direct and pragmatic person, often to a fault. If she thinks someone isn’t worth her time, she will say so. This attitude has helped cement her reputation as “a massive b***h”. She is crass and open, having no patience for people who put on airs. She is a harsh taskmistress, usually able to see through excuses for slacking. Her punishments range from extra duties to public floggings and (if she deems it necessary) execution.
History: Dora was born Phoebe Malcolm and grew up in the strange mixture of optimism and paranoia that was the early Cold War. From her early days, she was a bit of a tomboy. She loved hearing stories about the war from her neighbors. As she grew older, she wanted to join the army. As the conflict in Vietnam started heating up, she thought she could have her chance, but she was turned down. Eventually she managed to work her way into an underwater demolition's team. She joined the nascent Delta force in 1977.
She was recruited by the CIA during the 1980’s and worked several black ops missions in Central America, Africa and Asia, mostly working with irregular forces. In 1988 she was “burned” by the agency after a mission in Afghanistan went south. She escaped and hid herself in the mountains, around Helmand. She managed to sneak her way through the Khyber pass and settle down in rural Pakistan. It wasn’t until 1994 that she was rediscovered by the Wandenreich.
She is now in charge of training at Blackwolf Security Solutions. Her methods usually have the subtlety of a sledgehammer and she is called in when the Reich needs to do conventional battle, take an objective, defend territory, or provide a very big distraction. Another part of her job is recruiting new Quincy. She regularly travels around the world working with thousands of soldiers every year. If she finds a promising Quincy among the ranks, she encourages them to join up with Blackwolf. She puts them through a simple training regimen and linguistics course before offering them to the Kadettenkorps.

Epithet Information
Letter: O
Meaning: The Ordnance
Abilities
- Conventional ordnance: She fires a massive Heilig Pfeil into the air. On command, it breaks into 25 smaller arrows that plunge towards the target area, exploding on command or impact with a blast radius of 30 meters. This ability can also create "minefields" of a sort if she chooses to let the arrows impact, but not detonate. She can then wait and activate them herself, or have them explode when sufficiently concentrated reiatsu enters the blast radius. She usually sets the sensitivity to "unseated shinigami" but can go as low as "normal hollow". If she has line of sight, she can usually hit targets on her own. With proper preparations and a good spotter, she can bombard targets up to 25 kilometers away. (4 post cooldown)
- Chemical ordnance: Similar to conventional ordinance, but releases black fumes that permeate the area. They burn the eyes, skin and lungs of those exposed (one of the reasons Soldat wear the goggles and gas masks). Sustained contact with these fumes (3 posts) causes the affected to start “leaking” reiatsu. A half hour of constant exposure is usually fatal to most beings. The smoke can also conceal movements of her troops, obscuring them from visual tracking. The cloud of spirit particles also hampers enemy’s ability to sense them. (6 post cooldown, lingers for up to two hours or until she dispels it)
Vollständig Information
Name: Der Kommandant (The Commander)
Appearance: She gains angelic wings resembling those of an eagle and a halo above her head. A green reishi construct shaped like a longcoat manifests itself around her uniform.
Power-Ups:
- Enhanced Klavier: Dora is able to fire up to 10 shots of Ordinance in rapid succession, turning a short strike into a withering barrage. (Conventional: 6 post cooldown, Chemical: 12 post cooldown)
- Enhanced Reishi Absorption: In this form she is much more efficient at absorbing Reishi to power her attacks, cutting the cooldown times for normal attacks in half (rounded down).
- Thermobaric Ordinance: She fires an overcharged Seele Schneider into an area affected by Chemical Ordnance, causing a chain reaction that ignites the gas. The resulting explosion consumes almost all the free reiatsu in the affected area, even drawing in more from the surroundings to power the explosion. weak shinigami, normal hollows, and pluses outside the blast area can be completely consumed as their reiatsu is sucked out of them. (5 post warm up or absorbing a technique equivalent to a tier 5 Hado, 20 post cooldown)
Techniques:
-None
