[list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Persephone Unit Rho [*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 3 [*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female [*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [url=http://vitavitaar.deviantart.com/art/Persephone-Unit-17-Rho-Colored-670487860]"Daedalus System: Online."[/url] She is about 5'1. [*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Rho is a quiet and reserved individual. At this point in her life, everything is all for her mission, the penetration of the enormous tower in the Apocrypha. To be truthful, she doesn't honestly know what will happen, but her programming, everything, has told her that she must get inside, to end the threat posed by the Apocrypha. In spite of her single-minded focus and her nature, Rho is actually highly expressive. She has felt increasing desperation and frustration at her attempts to enter the tower consistently failing. Rho is awkward in social interaction, coming across as somewhat shy. She has trouble understanding why others would show concern for her, due to her nature as a weapon designed for combat against the creatures within the Apocrypha. However, she is deeply concerned for others, immediately attempting to defend any humans with little concern for what fate befalls her. In her mind, she is machine and a weapon whose purpose is the elimination of all threats that the Apocrypha poses and the defense of humanity. Rho struggles with understanding certain phrases that are not entirely literal. Compliments on her appearance will be entirely lost on her. Rho has no conception of a purpose to her existence beyond her mission, and as such she has no belongings or indeed no home. She entertains no thoughts of obtaining any of this, as it does not relate to the purpose of her existence. In spite of this seemingly detached approach to her existence, Rho is in fact extremely lonely, everyone she has ever known apparently dead. At the same time, she does not believe a weapon needs to attempt to form bonds with others, and as a result makes no attempt at social contact. The robotic girl also becomes very distressed at the sight of dead animals, especially those killed violently and especially dogs. There may also be other reasons Rho is reluctant to form any kinds of friendships. Additionally, she blames herself for failing to protect everyone during the catastrophe that destroyed A.R.C and, as she believes, all her fellow units. [*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Rho is entirely without practical life skills, likely due to her nature. As a robotic Persephone Unit, however, her aim is as accurate as possible for an artificial intelligence. Advanced calculations are child's play to her(and indeed, required for the deployment of some of her weaponry) due to her nature, as well. In spite of her strength and agility, she is inferior in melee combat in comparison with other units that may have been more focused on that area of battle. [*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Rho herself, as a Persephone Unit, is technically a piece of equipment. She is much more durable then a human being and can be repaired from extensive damage. She is also strong enough to lift a car by herself easily, and quite agile, aided by miniature rockets in her feet. Her design is simply to overwhelm the enemy with extreme firepower. Inside her body is stored a wide variety of different weaponry collectively known as the Daedalus System. [list][*][u]Anti-Material Chainguns:[/u] Rho can produce a pair of chainguns from her lower back, which she then manually aims using her hands in order to maximize accuracy. These chainguns are capable of tearing through most basic targets. [*][u]Wrist-Mounted Submachine Guns:[/u] Both of the small gauntlets attached to Rho's wrists are actually submachine guns, allowing for a quick response to targets. However, they are short-range and less accurate, as well as less penetrating. [*][u]Hip-Mounted Grenade Launchers:[/u] Rho has a pair of grenade launchers that can extend from her hips, exposing racks of grenades that she can launch one at a time. These grenades arc and explode on a short delay. [*][u]Micro-Missile Systems:[/u] Racks of missiles stored in Rho's legs, these are a more directed and accurate explosive weapon that can be deployed in large clusters. [*][u]Anti-Refraction Gravitational Ordinance Cannon:[/u] Her most powerful weapon, however, is the A.R.G.O cannon, an enormous energy cannon that extends from her back. Firing it, however, immediately causes her to overheat and be unable to use any of her weapon systems for quite some time. Overuse of this powerful weapon can also backfire and cause serious damage to her systems due to the sheer heat generated from the beam's firing.[/list] [*][u][b]Soul Arts:[/b][/u] N/A [*][u][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/u] Rho is the seventeenth Persephone Unit. The Persephone Units were created by the shadowy A.R.C, the Apocrypha Research Center. Having discovered the warped mirror world of the Apocrypha five years prior, a secretive institute was formulated in order to research it. They discovered something terrible, that a horrible threat was rising that could be disaster for the real world beyond anything ever seen before. But no human could enter the Apocrypha and most drones they deployed were eventually destroyed. As a result, they developed the Persephone Units. Named for the figure from Greek mythology, the Persephone units could utilize the reflection of the moon to make a transit to the Apocrypha themselves, under their own power. Unfortunately, after a terrible disaster, the facility was ravaged, all personnel apparently killed, along with every Persephone Unit aside from Rho herself. In spite of this, Rho has attempted to continue her mission, visiting the Apocrypha every night in order to try and enter the enormous tower. So far she has met no success.[/list]
