Her skin is pale and is occasionally told that her blank personality suits this feature. What can be noticed by many people when they see her up close and personal is the lack of pigment and vacant gaze within her eyes as a result of cataracts that have formed over her iris. While she is technically listed as blind, her unassisted vision is still just strong enough for her to make out the basic of features on a person. Her choice of clothing is rather unique tailored as well with a personal preference to the grunge, trashy look of your typical punker. Loud shirts, torn leggings, chains and thick bracelets; she clothes herself with whatever she wants and however she want in order to appeal to her particular style. Putting the standard items of clothing aside and looking at her augmentations many people will firstly notice the helmet like head piece that she sometimes equips herself with. The mask is designed like a visor and attaches to her temples while extending now and around her neckline. This helmet gives her the appearance that she's looking out of the mouth of a beast and when she pulls the piece down it will take over her vision completely with the array of cameras on the outside that directly connect to her brain. Only after looking past this unique attachment will begin to notice that many other parts of her body have been seemingly improved in more ways.[/color][/indent] [color=f6989d][b]PERSONALITY[/b][/color] [indent][color=CCCCCC]Being a personal favourite to Julius the Leech, Rachael is given a fair amount of freedom throughout the world she lives in, returning to him only when she feels that she needs some personal company. This vague sense of loyalty and familiarity sometimes means that whenever anyone speak badly of him or his group she will retaliate either verbally or in the extremely rare occasion, physically. Aside from these outbursts Rachael, for the most part, has a bit of an uneasy approach to others with either her somewhat sterile personality or the teasing for wanting to have pain inflicted on her body. Maybe she's a masochist, but in reality when it comes to the world with cybernetics and C-Freaks who are seemingly addicted to mutilating their own bodies with metal and machine, who is the sane individual? One last feature is that Rachael has also been known to be somewhat fearless in the most odd of situations, probably due to the harsh treatment she got through her younger life and not knowing any different. It has been rumoured that she didn't even flinch when a knife was drawn across her neck, but most of the witnesses were drunk or high at the time so their accounts cannot be really called accurate. [/color][/indent] [color=f6989d][b]BIOGRAPHY/BACKGROUND STORY[/b][/color] [indent][color=CCCCCC]Rachael had a terrible choice in parents when compared to many other children, especially when mixed in with their heavy drug addictions. Her parents focused on most of your conventional drugs but occasionally took the hit of Neurotop when they had the cash to afford it. The hard part for the poor girl was facing her parents during one of their non-addicted states where they would both become extremely violent and lash out at her. This constant cycle of spending income and dealing with the continual abuse left the unfortunate family with little money to afford the bare basics like food, rent and clothing. In order to help supply themselves Rachael's parents extorted their own daughter, selling her to the undesirable men of the city both for their own pleasures and entrainment. One gang leader in particular, Julius the Leech, took a liking to Rachael and offered a final payment for the ownership of their daughter. Foolishly the two demanded more money to which he pulled out a gun and shot both of them dead in front of her. As the saying goes "It's better the devil you know than the devil you don't know" and Julius was the later by a country mile. Julius got his nickname from the way he would latch onto an attractive woman and pretty much suck the humanity out of them leaving them as a shell of their original selves, that is if they were still alive after the end of his sadistic ways. At the time he had three other women under his care and what would start off as a tender loving nature to each would eventually delve down into torturous ways with each girl's body becoming a canvas of scars and brandings. It was however during a PMC raid that Rachael would make one of the most important decision of her life, to either protect the man who owned her, or to let the militants kill him. For a reason completely still unknown to her she moved to sacrifice her life to protect Julius. She managed to push the man out of the way of a fatal laser shot but as a result had her eyesight seared, leaving her mostly blind. After the attack Julius was grateful for her selfless sacrifice calling her his now Favourite and ensured that she received the best medical treatment he could get his hand on. It was a path that would lead her down the route of enhancing her body with cybernetics, starting off with augmentation that would regain and improve her vision before training to become a stronger individual. For Julius he viewed this as a way to show the community that even his women were skilled warriors, ready to give their lives for him. For Rachael she viewed this as a step forward to becoming the Diver known as 'Gaze', but also a way of life considering she knew no better.[/color][/indent] [color=f6989d][b]WEAPONS[/b][/color] [List][*][b]Long Range Assault Rifle:[/b] [url=http://www.3dartistonline.com/users/12393/thm1024/1383777025_rifle1.jpg](Image)[/url][color=CCCCCC] First question out of the way... How does a blind girl use a rifle designed for long range shooting? The answer is quite simple and comes down specifically to the design aspect of the scope. When Rachael lines her eye up to view her target the scope's camera will send a signal to her brain displaying the image as if she was viewing the target like anyone else. This in turn gives her precise accuracy as she will always be able to see exactly where the shots will be aimed. The gun itself is of a pretty much standard M4 style design except it is also equipped with a suppressor.[/color] [*][b]Machete:[/b] [url=http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/ts-cqbnj.jpg](Image)[/url] [color=CCCCCC]A simple machete with a sharp edge and a hook design on the back of the blade. For those situations when hand to hand combat is just not enough. [/color][/list] [color=f6989d][b]SKILLSET[/b][/color] [list][*][b]CQC:[/b] [color=CCCCCC]Some of the members of Julius' Gang were trained by war veterans in the art of CQC, a technique that was passed on to Rachael While not the strongest of fighters she is able to disarm many opponents and at least force them to the ground where she can finish them off with either a knock-out or a cut across the neck with her blade.[/color] [*][b]Endurance:[/b] [color=CCCCCC]The upgrade to Rachael's heart and improvements to her legs have given the girl the ability to chase down many subjects when needed. Most normal people will tire out after a run, yet she will still be able to continue her pace for two or three times longer.[/color][/list] [color=f6989d][b]AUGMENTATIONS[/b][/color] [list][*][b]Vision:[/b] [color=CCCCCC]Rachael's vision has been improved to allow for a variety of situations. The cameras on her visor can allow her to see in both night vision and infra-red but most importantly they can allow her to see various personal statistics like her heart rate, rounds in her magazine, and even augmentation statuses. When not in use the helmet will retract back into a small node on the back of her neck [url=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3_6ujOvCzdA/UgQorCyhTEI/AAAAAAAAYzs/EfIW56WbfzE/s400/ready_to_fight__iron_man_2_gif__by_foxedpeople-d53jht4.gif](Example)[/url].[/color] [*][b]Hydraulic Thighs:[/b] [color=CCCCCC]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.[/color] [*][b]Enhanced Heart and Cardiovascular System:[/b] [color=CCCCCC]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.[/color][/list] [/hider]
