Editing Faultline (section)

==Appearance & Equipment==
Faultline is twenty-something and sharp-featured with long black hair. Her costume blends 'dress', 'martial arts gear' and 'riot gear', including a skirt and a bulletproof vest. While in costume, she puts her hair into a bun and wears a detachable hairpiece filled with thorns as a 'ponytail'.<ref name="5.1e3">Faultline.  I knew of her from my research.  She was twenty-something, and her straight black hair was in a long bristling ponytail.  Her costume was weird, approximating something like a blend of riot gear, a martial arts uniform and a dress. - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/11/05 Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.1]]</ref><ref name="Cast1">'''Faultline''' – Leader of a mercenary team, Faultline wears a costume with body armor, a skirt and a welding-mask-like face-cover. Can destroy inorganic matter by touch. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast (spoiler free)]</ref> The costume has a lot of thought and effort put into it, and was designed for practicality over looks.<ref name="18.f e1">Faultline was a believer in doing things right.  Image came secondary to effect, and doing the job right was better for image than having the best costume.  Her own costume blended several functions.  A bulletproof vest, lightweight, with a stylized exterior, formed the most expensive single component of the outfit.  She tied her hair back into a crude bun, then gingerly drew the ‘ponytail’ from the side of the suitcase.  Unfolding the surrounding cover, Faultline slowly and carefully used her fingers to comb the fake hair onto a semblance of order.  The bristly hair extension masked a thin, flexible rod in the core, with painted spikes protruding at various angles.  It was all too common for an enemy to reach for the ponytail in an attempt to get her.  Their hands would be impaled on the waiting spikes, if they weren’t invulnerable, and the hair extension would come free, giving her a chance to escape.<br/><br/>She checked her semiautomatic, then slid it into the holster at her left hip.  A flare gun went into the holster at the right.  Flowing sleeves that would mask the belts and their contents were buckled on next, followed by a dress with a side pocket that would let her access the gun in a pinch.  The buckles meant that anyone pulling on the fabric would pull it free rather than get hold of her.<br/><br/>Faultline donned her mask, more a welder’s mask with a stylized crack to see through than anything else. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/14/interlude-18-donation-bonus-4/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18.f]]</ref>

She carried a semiautomatic pistol and a flare gun, hidden beneath the flowing parts of her costume.<ref name="18.f e1"/>

In civilian guise, she wears a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and black slacks tucked into shiny black riding boots with steel toes. She has "sharp" features.<ref name="5.x e1">Faultline was in her professional clothes; a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and black slacks tucked into shiny black riding boots with steel toes.  Her wavy black hair was tied back in a ponytail.  She wore no mask – those employees of Palanquin who ventured as far as this office were too well paid to turn on her.  Her features were perhaps too sharp to be called conventionally attractive, but Gregor knew she was certainly more attractive than Newter or himself. - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/interlude-5/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 5]]</ref>
