Project Mechanica Name: "Subject-001" Alias/es: Alma, The Professional Age: 24 Gender: Female [hider=Appearance] [img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/101151474_746e9d1a89.jpg[/img] [img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/ergo-proxy-01-19.jpg[/img][/hider] Personality: (I hate writing these, as my characters' personalities don't tend to match what's on the character sheet. Will be revealed in the IC.) History: While Sarah was the first successful birth in the project, Alma was one of the many early failures during Project Genesis. And unlike Sarah, Alma was never naturally born, as she was VAT grown in a test tube instead. Alma's genome was so badly damaged during the experiment, that her DNA lacked an actual blueprint for functional organs through out the body, her eyes, lungs, heart, liver, and many other vital organs were vastly underdeveloped, the brain being the only organ that was growing well during the fetal stage, however she could still be saved. As such, Project Genesis scientists were forced to try something out of the ordinary. A completely new experiment, dubbed "Mechanica", was born. Despite the fact that cybernetics research was already well developed, capable of replacing bio-material with mechanical devices without mishaps or health problems in adult humans, it was something that simply couldn't theoretically be done with a VAT grown fetus. Ernest Cale, a Bio-Engineer that was part of the project, had the idea of using nanites as a mechanical alternative to stem cells, by reprogramming their original "REPAIR" protocol, which was used to repair things from mechanical limbs to military vehicles, into an artificial organ blueprint that changed based on the age of the fetus, creating constantly growing and developing artificial organs, that would stop in growth once Alma reached the age of 18. The blueprint didn't just include artificial organs and musculature, but also bio-mechanical construction plans for Dermal Armor, a Power Cell, and a fully functional HUD within her pupils. The idea, the plan, was sound. And so the project began. The test tube fetus was injected with nanites that would self-replicate and begin construction within the body. The mere prospect of humans being born with cybernetic enhancements that adapted and evolved with age, was simply too exciting to think about for many who were a part of Project Mechanica. All the scientists and engineers could do, was wait. It was a year later when Sarah was "born", and a measly 3 months when she was taken away. As all the Ark personnel disbanded, going into hiding, and leaving the future of humanity behind, Alma, who still did not have a name at the time and was still known as "Subject-001" of the Mechanica project that never managed to grow into something greater, was taken in by Ernest himself. Alma was 15 months old, and very much alive. Her new, nanite constructed organs functioned flawlessly. If Project Mechanica still existed, Subject-001 would have been considered a massive success. But sadly, Alma was the only one of her kind, completely unique to her brothers and sisters from the Genesis and Lazarus projects, she was 60% machine. Despite the end of the Mechanica project, Ernest still continued his research into bionics, albeit quietly, with Alma his main experiment, most of which consisted of combat efficiency. It was 15 years later on Alma' 16th "birthday", when Ernest died in an accident, where a train derailed and brought death to 167 passengers. Alma was the only survivor. People called it a miracle, but Alma knew the reasons why she lived. What happened between then and now, and how she became one of the most infamous hitwomen in the criminal underworld, still remains a mystery. Skills: - Sniper Rifle Markswoman - Professional getaway driver - MCMAP practitioner. - Demolition expert Abilities: - Dermal Armor. Alma is virtually bulletproof against small arms, but heavy weapons like heavy machine guns, and explosives will destroy her, and armor piercing as well as explosive ammo will cause massive damage. The Armor also protects her from Electromagnetic Blasts, a safety measure to makes sure her body continues to function and does not short circuit from the effects of an EMP. - S.A.H.U.D. The Situational Awareness HUD was programmed and installed into Alma's ocular cortex by Ernest Cale. The HUD provides environmental information, such as marking hostiles and keeping track of them, even through walls, a targeting reticule, ammunition counter, damage reports, etc. - Synthetic Adrenaline. This synthetic formula is 6 times the dose of standard human adrenaline. When dispensed, Alma experiences an effect that makes her feel like everything is in slow motion. What actually happens is a massive dose of SynthAd is pumped into her brain, accelerating it's processing power by 20 fold, making her reaction times almost unreadable or even measurable. The effect lasts for 20 seconds, and the body needs about an hour to create another dose of SynthAd. Alma reserves this ability for hand-to-hand combat.
