Clio Byrne

Clio Eleanor Byrne is a tech-minded member of the resistance.

Background
April 20, 2011, found Clio worried. Will she be asked out to the prom, will her brother be back long enough for her to talk to him before his former schoolmates tore him away, will her father remember to check out the Apple store in San Francisco and get her an iPad? April 21, things changed. All the worries she now considers petty were replaced by, is her father alive, did her brother's ship ever make port, will anyone survive the horror?

As chaos descended on the country and lines of communication were cut and destroyed, veterans who were not called back to duty organized the Monterey survivors into groups to try to keep the community going. Clio was assigned to a group of technicians, both civilian and former military, to try to reconnect cut lines and bring up a computer network to try to patch into DARPA. Unfortunately, the first attempt to hack in was immediately detected by Skynet. Hunter-Killers were immediately dispatched, forcing the survivors to scatter. Clio became separated from the remains of her family, holing up with a small group.

Clio made several attempts to return to her home to look for her mother. Each time she was able to get to her family's abandoned home, she left messages. Recently, the messages have disappeared, replaced by a new note with coordinates. The first successful return let her gather some of her father's hunting gear, including several rifles and his pistol. Clio also grabbed her grandfather's hat, which she refers to as her lucky fedora. Although she jokes about it, the hat has become more and more a charm for her. The first time a Terminator infiltrated her group, many people died or were hauled away to work camps, but she escaped with minor injuries and with the fedora.

Her survivor group eventually hooked up with the Southern California Resistance. The technical experience was welcomed in. Clio made it a point to salvage parts from downed Skynet forces to try to work out a means of defeating the Machines with minimal losses by the Resistance. She has passed her notes along to TechCom.

Psychological Profile
Driven. Clio needs to know what happened and why, where her family went. Curiosity and hope hide deep within the cool, detatched outer appearance.
