Literally, she keeps it in her purse. It's a rare firearm that uses fairly common ammunition. [/hider] [hider= Assortment of Blades] [img]http://www.unitedcutlery.com/Images/medres/UC3073.JPG[/img] A Tanto-style blade usually tucked neatly in her Obi(belt). Made of advanced steel alloy. [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ff/6e/a8/ff6ea873882f326aba463e2cc21a9382.jpg[/img] She keeps a pair of push blades strapped in her sleeves or on her legs depending on what she's wearing. [img]http://i.imgur.com/iHNFoAV.jpg[/img] A well crafted MonoBlade, for when good old fashioned steel just won't cut it. (pun intended) This is also the only weapon visible on her person at any given time. Sheathed and carried on her back for convenience. [/hider] [hider=Heirloom Tungsten Hair Pin] [img]http://guideimg.alibaba.com/images/shop/75/08/28/9/antique-clip-stick-hair-accessory-silver-tone-women-bun-pin-designer-jewellery-gift_3528739.jpg[/img] Always kept in her bun and while not technically a weapon, has been used as such in the past. [/hider] [b]Skills[/b]: Company Resources Fashion Sense Personal Grooming Stealth Martial Artist (Kengakei-Koppo) Swordplay Knifeplay Moderate Handgun Skill Good Awareness and Perception [b]Augmentations[/b]: Maria is what people call 'full borg' and she was one of the first to do it. Basically it means that she's forgone her natural body to get a completely cybernetic body. Her body is a Chiba A-Series Synthetic Custom with her own unique face. The only part of her that is all natural is her brain and spinal column. Her body isn't actually anything special. No hidden blades or hold out guns in the forearms, her legs don't extend to make her taller or jump further. Her body is just that, her body. Granted her cybernetic limbs are stronger than they look and her realskin has a kevlar weave to resist damage, on a scale of one to ten (where ten is an all natural body builder) Maria is a twelve. Aside from her cyborg body she has two interface plugs on the back of her neck and a built in cybermodem for chipping. [b]Equipment[/b]: Maria travels light and due to the availability of Arasaka resources she's never too far away from help. On her person she keeps a speed loader for her revolver, cellphone, wallet, and keys. Anything else she might need is typically requisitioned on site or from a drop by Arasaka. [b]NOTE:[/b] Cyber-Molecular Sclirosis is a fictional disease from a manga that is essentially a cancer mutated by the presence of cybernetic components in the body.
