To save on costs, the scientists purchased two litters: eight bitches and three dogs. So far, Lucky is the only one to have survived re-entry, or even re-entered the Earth's atmosphere at all... albeit 40 years late.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]Pᴀᴄᴋ[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Alexei Demyanenko (Deceased) [indent][indent]Russian astrophysicist and head of the space program that sent Lux XI (among other dogs) into deep space in individual spacecrafts. He advocated for the ships to be built with the capability of surviving re-entry––he didn't need to, and for that he will always be held king in Lucky's heart. He taught her to 'fetch'. Told her she was a good girl. She wishes he could see her now.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Jack Morrison (Deceased) [indent][indent]Scared and alone after her ship landed in the Ukraine and Demyanenko was not there to greet her, Jack Morrison was the first human Lucky met following her return to Earth. Although it was a mere mission for Overwatch to investigate the UFO (her pod) that crashed, the organisation was allowed to keep Lucky for PR reasons after realising her unique talents and altered genome. When told about his death, Lucky mourned greatly. Jack is her Master. And he always will be. (His litter are no substitute, but she loves them, too.)[/indent][/indent] [center][color=#d7dee0]———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [SUP][img]http://i.imgur.com/BJnpOkq.png[/img][/SUP] [color=#d7dee0]———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color][/center] [color=d7dee0]Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Smart [color=d7dee0]♦[/color] Guileless [color=d7dee0]♦[/color] Optimistic [color=d7dee0]♦[/color] Forgiving [color=d7dee0]♦[/color] Loyal [indent][indent]There's a reason why dogs are often called man's best friend. Despite coming from a world that has sent her into the unknown to die in the name of progress, all Lucky can think of is how she can next best help mankind as a whole, and those humans who she loves and adores first and foremost. It is why, despite the opportunity for living a cushy retirement, she chose to stay with Overwatch––the type of institution that seeks to do good in the world no matter the cost to its agents, to [i]her[/i]. She will gladly sacrifice her life for another, as long as she's told she's a 'good dog' at the end of it. All dogs go to Heaven; she doesn't have the fear of the unknown as humans tend to have. This simplistic thought process is at odds with the advanced problem solving and capabilities of Lucky's mind, which are far beyond all but elite scientists. Her problem, however, is in voicing her thoughts. Often she is frustrated with the communication problems of her form, but that's just the way the cookie crumbled. It allows her so much: to think and dream and feel, though she's sure she already did all of those beforehand, she just couldn't put a name to them. Lucky can seem somewhat motherly (she's never had a litter of her own, after all) and likes to lick wounds and fuss over those she cares about, which is everyone. She also has a streak of mischief in her, because nobody expects the brainy dog to tear up the newspapers or chew on technology. Unfortunately, she cannot lie, so she tends to wallow in guilt afterwards and it's immediately obvious to all who set eyes on her.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]Lɪᴋᴇs[/color] [color=d7dee0]❤[/color] Praise.

[color=d7dee0]Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜs[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Intelligence [indent][indent]The next level of canine evolution? Lucky can understand much more than the average dog, and even much more than the average human. Advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry and other related fields are all child's play to her, and it is clear that she has an innate understanding of most proofs and truths in the world of academia. Her capacity for learning is nothing short of unnatural.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Moral Decisiveness [indent][indent]Lucky sees the world in black and white, and has no qualms about saying whether something was the right or wrong thing to do. It might seem short-sighted to some, but there are benefits to this simplicity: she never fails to make decisions, because to her the answer is not vague and ambiguous as it might seem to others. The guiding star on her moral compass? If it helps mankind, it is right, but if it saves a life, it is more right.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Ingenuity [indent][indent]Lucky is an inventor who used her background to create her own combat systems along with other tools to help her in the world of humans. She is constantly trying to better herself or create more dog-friendly gadgets to use in combat. It would not be surprising if she were to MacGuyver a weapon on the field.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]Wᴇᴀᴋɴᴇssᴇs[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Communication [indent][indent]Lucky cannot talk. Nothing can fix this. In combat she is sometimes seen as a liability because she cannot bark out warnings or request aid when under attack. Although she has some commands built into her suit, preset, they are not very descriptive and only amount to 'hello', 'need healing', 'group up' and a catchphrase. To interact with others she either relies on gestures or uses her laborious interface to create text for what she intends to say.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Fragility [indent][indent]She isn't a normal dog, but she's still a dog. For all Lucky's physical form has changed to give her some kind of immunity (or resistance) to aging, it hasn't done anything for her endurance. She is much more fragile than the average human, unlikely to take more than a hit or two even with armor. Humans kill dogs all the time. She's not any more special than the others.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Naivety [indent][indent]The frameworks of Lucky's upbringing are still present: she was raised to believe the best in humans. Her mind, though advanced, works differently from a human's. Not only does she find it physically impossible to lie, but she also cannot detect dishonesty or disguised attempts to do her harm. She has to rely on her bestial senses, but even those are flawed when it comes to picking out an enemy among friends.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]Bɪᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜʏ[/color] [indent]"What was space like, Lucky?" [color=d7dee0]Lᴏɴᴇʟʏ[/color]. It is the answer nobody wants to hear, so she keeps it to herself. Lucky tells no lies when recounting her story through the wonders of dog-computer interfaces: she talks about how beautiful the stars were; how jarring the feeling of being launched into space; how proud she felt to have been chosen to represent mankind––her, a dog!––on its first forays into the unknown. All of these were interpretations made in hindsight: she is aware that she did not have proper sentience on a human scale when she was first sent up, but that doesn't mean she can't remember feelings like unending love and crippling fear. Lucky went up to outer space in the year 1947. She was part of a litter of five and followed by a litter of six dubiously purebred golden retrievers that were both purchased by the government for use in the space program. There were no expectations of her survival, and indeed, ground control lost the connection to the sensors after eighteen hours of her in outer space, and she was considered [i]gone[/i] like the others. What happened next is pure speculation, because Lucky's craft returned in the year 2002, narrowly missing the turn of the millennium. The landing site was noticed by Overwatch, and a team was sent out to investigate headed by the leader himself, Jack Morrison, due to the tender nature of relations between the organisation and the Ukraine at the time. It was then that Lucky was discovered, alive. Despite claims from the Russian government, Overwatch refused to hand her over, causing a minor diplomatic incident. A full spectrum analysis of her revealed that she had been affected by some sort of cosmic radiation that has not been seen in any other cases before or since. Whatever caused this resulted in Lucky's abnormal intelligence, which would register in the top 3% [i]of humans[/i]. It was shown that she understood English clearly, as well as Russian, despite not having interacted with anyone speaking the latter since her expedition. She understood philosophy and science within hours. She could [i]read[/i], with some difficulty, though the implementation of text-to-speech systems in her quarters at Overwatch (on the order of Commander Morrison) made learning so much easier. And yet, despite all of this, she could not learn to speak. Perhaps it was all for the better: it is much easier to omit details without guilt when one is carefully typing it out, letter by letter. Even after Overwatch disbanded (and dearest Jack was declared dead), Lucky remained a popular figure in the media, often seen at important diplomatic events worldwide––especially when they were to do with space-travel and scientific advancements. She made something of a name for herself as an academic, though encouraged to do so mostly due to the complete strangeness of the situation, but jumped at the chance to do good for mankind once more.[/indent] [center][color=#d7dee0]———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [SUP][img]http://i.imgur.com/vUUqpUV.png[/img][/SUP] [color=#d7dee0]———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color][/center] [color=#d7dee0]Aʟɪᴀs[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Lucky [color=#d7dee0]Aғғɪʟɪᴀᴛɪᴏɴ[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Overwatch [color=#d7dee0]Bᴀsᴇ ᴏғ Oᴘᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴs[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Forks, Washington [color=#d7dee0]Rᴏʟᴇ[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Support [color=#d7dee0]Oᴄᴄᴜᴘᴀᴛɪᴏɴ[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Agent of Overwatch (Science and Research) [color=#d7dee0]Fᴏʀᴍᴇʀ Oᴄᴄᴜᴘᴀᴛɪᴏɴ[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Astronaut [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Rocket Scientist [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Reality TV Star [center][color=#d7dee0]———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [SUP][img]http://i.imgur.com/1MGu1Da.png[/img][/SUP] [color=#d7dee0]———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color][/center] [color=#d7dee0]Aʙɪʟɪᴛɪᴇs[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Zero-G Maneuvers [indent][indent]Dogs are light-weight, or at least, Lucky is as the runt of the litter. It is easier for her to maneuver around in zero-g than it would be a human. Her custom-made Spacesuit is designed to produce a contained field of zero-gravity just large enough to encompass her. She uses small jet packs to aid movement within this. It can be turned on and off at will when she jumps into the air and when she barks a specific command.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Fetch [indent][indent]Lucky uses her canine agility to run from health pack to health pack, pick it up, and deliver it directly to an ally in need. When carrying one of these kits in her mouth, she moves at double speed, motivated by the prospect of helping somebody. She can only carry one of them at a time, but everyone knows that they're everywhere in the world.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Wing Clip [indent][indent]Lucky, in melee range, latches onto an enemy the only way she knows how: her teeth. She must be pried off. A typical non-armoured enemy won't be able to move unless they somehow remove her, and after that (for a short period of time) their movement is slowed immensely.[/indent][/indent] [color=#d7dee0]Wᴇᴀᴘᴏɴs[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Head-Mounted Laser [indent][indent]Adapted for use from pre-existing weaponry, Lucky's version of the laser is still automatically guided but does very little damage. Instead, once it is locked on, it reduces the speed of an enemy, progressively getting worse. The range is fairly short, requiring Lucky to put herself in harm's way to use it effectively.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Teeth [indent][indent]'Nuff said.[/indent][/indent] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Spacesuit [indent][indent]It's not everyday one sees a dog in an astronaut costume. This outfit provides Lucky with a minor regenerating shield, which allows her to take more risks, and also enables her Zero-G Maneuvers. It is also self-buttoning and self-lacing; she doesn't need anyone's help to get into it. Her inbuilt headset takes in voice commands (barks and growls) and responds with the relevant message in English to her teammates, although only for simple sentences. Metal hands unfold from the suit to help her with finicky tasks that require opposable thumbs.[/indent][/indent] [color=#d7dee0]Uʟᴛɪᴍᴀᴛᴇ[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] Artificial Gravity Field [indent][indent]Lucky knows how to turn things up to eleven. Once she has charged up her artificial gravity field, contained in a small circular projectile, she can release it on her enemies. It works best if they are all grouped up. In a medium-sized area of effect, about the size of a room, gravity suddenly weighs down heavily on all enemies inside, bringing their movement to a standstill for the duration of the effect.[/indent][/indent] [center][color=#d7dee0]———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [sup][img]http://i.imgur.com/lByo60J.png[/img][/sup][/center][center][color=#d7dee0]———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color][/center] [color=#d7dee0]Tʜᴇᴍᴇ Sᴏɴɢ[/color] [color=d7dee0]☄[/color] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmBC7qW1WpA]Wil Wagner – Laika[/url]
