Occasionally she will wear a cap when she is out and about. Her eyes were blue in colour but appear more grey due to the lack of sun she was exposed to while in the Foundlands District, however her right eye was replaced after it experienced a blunt force trauma hit during the attack. Her replacement bionic eye contains a violet iris, leaving others to believe that she has a rare variation of heterochromia. Rachael's body also suffered many injuries, mainly to her abdominal and back regions. She nearly lost all feeling in her legs and now has metal plating and electronics that cover her spine and shoulder blades. On her left wrist she has a tattoo that has both her name, and the date her parents died, just in case her amnesia wrecks havoc on her.

[*]Also skilled with hands on designing and mechanical work, allowing her to modify and repair some machinery. She can help perform minor repairs to other team mate's cybernetics if need be, but cannot always guarantee that the repairs will suffice without the proper workshop equipment.

[*]Albe to traverse difficult terrain easily by leaping over obstacles.[/list] [color=f6989d][B]History[/B][/color] For as long as she could remember, Rachael's parents had owned an electronics repair shop in the Foundlands District of a the Australian east coast. A small province within the mega city that grew almost out of nothing during the beginning of the 21st century. Sadly she did not grow up with the pristine life that she would have hoped for with most of their income being pushed into the business to keep it afloat for as long as possible. The past few years had hit mega-city right where it hurt the most with unemployment rising to a new unforeseen level, violent crimes becoming more common than before, pollution darkening the skies, and the continual broadcasting of murders, the same murders that had started to become a daily ritual. The country that was founded by criminals and convicts was in essence slowly returning to it's roots, with Rachael's father caught within this cyclone of despair. Up until recently the family had focused on electromechanical repairs but after several years her father chose to enter into the dangerous drug trade, helping a local mob cook up a new drug that was labelled 'Dream Hopper'. Dream Hopper had the unusual ability to allow the user to avoid sleep for an extended period of time, thus the user would often be able to easily stay awake for a day or two depending on how regularly they took the pills. It was shortly after business was beginning to pick up that Rachael's world came crashing down before her. During one of the busier night two unknown customers had entered into the shop and approached the counter that Rachael was occupying. Believing it was another lot of users getting ready for their next hit she went down to the basement where her parents were working, unbeknownst to her at the time that the two vampires had locked the front door to the shop and began to carefully follow her, entering what would soon become a slaughterhouse. Seven people died that night. Both Rachael's parents, three mob workers, and the two vampires. Rachael doesn't fully remember what happened except for being attacked multiple times, the sight of blood and gore covering the walls and equipment, an axe through the neck of one vampire, and the other pinned to the wall with a crowbar through the chest. Reacting out of solid fear, she dragged her damaged body over to the side of the room and sat there with a gun in her hand and began to pop the pills her father manufactured in order to stay awake. She had experienced the high a few times before as she occasionally snuck into the basement to steal a batch for her and her friends, but this time was different. It was several days later when a Vigil agent showed up after hearing about vampire attacks within the area and what he found was something he never fully expected. Rachael had not slept at all in that time. Instead she had managed to pull over a computer towards her body and was doing research on similar attacks in the area. The deeper she delved into the articles and classified documents, the more she discovered about vampires, and thus the more she felt like hiding away from the outside world. Afraid of leaving. Afraid of sleeping. Afraid of waking up only to be turned into a monster. Virgil however offered her a chance to escape this emotion of hopelessness and to make a difference in the world of today. [color=f6989d][B]Psychological Profile:[/B][/color] Rachael has a high respect for technology and the wonders that it contains. During her time working in the shop she had managed to see some amazing devices and prosthetics while also learning how they helped people in their day to day lives. She doesn't necessarily view people as good or bad, but more in the way of their struggles knowing full well that going down the path crime is not the same as going down the path of evil. Unfortunately her experiences with the night of the attack and the drugs she took have affected her deeply. While high she can loose some of her emotional connection with others, sometimes loosing the ability to sympathise properly and occasionally entering into a mild state of psychosis due to extreme sleep deprivation. After the effects of the drug wears off she becomes extremely lethargic and experiences moments of amnesia mixed in with horrible panic attacks from the memories of that night. The doctors did what they could to try and help her out, but there are just some things that cannot be fixed. Adding to the effects of the drugs she now has a fear of the darkness to which she will often use a hit to try and contain these fears. This has put her mental state into bit of a stranglehold with her unable to wean herself off the drug with the closing of each coming day. [color=f6989d][B]Modifications:[/B][/color] [indent][color=f6989d][b]Standard Issue Modifications:[/b][/color] [i](As described in detail above)[/i] [list][*]Communications suite, HUD and neural-computer, all standard issue. [*]Internal air supply and aerial toxin filter [*]Blood/liquid toxin filter [*]Eye augmentation with a HUD showing all sorts of system data.[/list] [color=f6989d][b]Additional Modifications:[/b][/color] [list][*][b]The Umbilical Cord[/b] Whilst under attack Rachael received some extensive injuries to her back with her spine, thus requiring some drastic bodily changes. During the operation to improve her body a data connection was made to her spine with a computer port placed where her navel resides. By connecting a database or server system to her stomach she is able to read the contained information as if she was a part of the computer network. This allows her to access information faster and more precisely than a user sitting in front of a keyboard. [*][b]Shoulder Utilised Dual Drone Assist Hanger (SH.U.D.D.A.H.)[/b] In place of where her shoulder plates would reside are two compartments that house a drone in each shoulder. Each drone can be sent out on reconnaissance missions to assist with information gathering. [*][b]A pair Temple based connection ports[/b] These connection ports are used mostly in conjunction with her Enhanced Visor and give her enhanced visual capabilities through the use of her dual drones. The Ports are a direct feed to her brain, limiting the need to even pull down the visor manually. When not in use Rachael will wear a baseball cap in order to help hide the connection nodes on the side of her head, but her hair can help cover most of these. Although not as powerful as The Umbilical Cord, Rachael is able to use these to connect to various computer devices however loose all sense of awareness for her surroundings during these moments. When used in conjunction with The Umbilical Cord, she can process data at a much higher speed. [*][b]Cybernetic Left Forearm[/b] Rachael's left forearm and hand were replaced with a prosthetic limb. The hand has a series of electrical nodes in the fingertips that allow her to discharged her stored electricity with a force that has the ability to explode skin and muscle off bones. She can only perform this three times before her power supply runs out, but in the event that she is without power she is able to eject a small blade of about a foot in length from the palm of her hand. [*][b]Internal Power Supply[/b] Rachael can use her Umbilical Cord connector to plug herself into an available power outlet and use the power to charge up an internal battery. The battery can be used for a variety of things, from powering her Visor to charging her drones and Laptop Gun. It's main use however is for her electrical hand attack. It should also be noted that if she is plugged into a power outlet while using her hand she will not loose the Power Supply's stored usages. [*][b]Hydraulic Thighs[/b] Because her body experienced some severe damage to the lower torso end, Rachael had to receive a modified set of thighs. These thighs are equipped with a high end hydraulic system that allows her to exert a large amount of force within a fraction of a second, allowing her to leap up to 3 metres high and kick through a steel door. When operated bystanders will be able to see a join open up just above the knee and her overall leg grow by several inches as the hydraulic exerts it's force. After extended uses steam will occasionally expel out of the knee join as the hydraulic systems heat up. [*][b]Enhanced Heart and Cardiovascular System[/b] This modification allows for her body to respond to events quicker than that of a human athlete by forcing a richer supply of blood to her muscles. Not only is she faster and generally stronger, but her wounds can heal much quicker than many others. The rich blood supply is also filled with a synthetic fluid allowing her body to absorb heavier impacts when needed. Sharp objects may still cut her skin, but a blunt force trauma hit will barely leave a bruise.[/list][/indent] [color=f6989d][B]Equipment:[/b][/color] [indent][color=f6989d][b]Standard Issue Equipment:[/b][/color] [i](As described in detail above)[/i] [list][*]Mimetic Camouflage (Predator) coat. [*]Modular, caseless assault rifle/carbine. [*]A number of electronic accessories, including a PDA tablet and other items to assist in making physical connection with computer equipment. [*]Grenades [i](Aka The Disco Ball)[/i][/list] [color=f6989d][b]Additional Equipment:[/b][/color] [list][*][b][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KokfPKy5EOw]Laptop Gun (Model TH)[/url][/b] While within the network and databases of Virgil, Rachael managed to come across some discarded designs for a computer based gun that were never fully completed. After spending some time going over the blueprints and prototypes she ended up redesigning the device and combining her PDA tablet with it, creating a weapon that both conceals itself and is quickly obtainable. Due to it's small size it only holds 12 rounds, but each round has a Thermite jacket, giving it the ability to simply melt through targets and their armour. [*][b][url=http://i.imgur.com/hVF4b21.jpg]Surveillance Drones[/url] & Enhanced Visor[/b] The two drones that Rachael controls can be viewed in first person through her drop down visor. In order to control them she has two connection ports on the side of her temples that allow for the drones to be flown directly through her thoughts. This information feed is able to be relayed to her PDA/Laptop Gun and broardcasted to her team in order to help share information to her team quickly. The drones themselves are of a quadcopter design, fitted with a high definition camera that has similar capabilities to the Eye augmentations, an ultraviolet spotlight with a wide arc and a range of about 15 metres, and a small explosive device in the event that they are unable to be recovered by the team. While in use and if Rachael decides to break the connection to the drones by lifting her visor, they will remain in hover mode, sitting stationary with the camera still recording until their next command is given. [*][b]Dream Hopper Dispenser[/b] The left cybernetic arm contains a dispenser that houses a given quantity of drugs for her to use.[/list][/indent]
