Ok... Here's what I got so far... It's just a draft and if you /all of you/ guys feel it would be redundant I won't mind scrapping it :)

Also... I know I said tigress, but I really meant to say lioness xD

[b]Name[/b] - Ganesha /Cass calls her Nesh for short, but I suppose she would also respond to Ganny/

[b]Age[/b] - 50ish /average lifespan of lions is about 14-15 years, Ganesha's genetically enhanced lifespan is 150ish/

[b]Species[/b] - genetically enhanced bio-mecha lioness

[b]Role[/b] - Cass' companion

[b]Gender[/b] - Female

[b]Appearance[/b] - 

[hider=A rough visual]

[/hider]This would be a very rough visual of her armor. I imagine it a bit more elegant and body hugging. Kind of like Guyver armor.

[/hider]How I would like the armor to deploy and retract.

[b]Personality[/b] - Being a lioness, she is used to living within a pride. She is very loving towards Cass, who she considers her cub and will often try to mother her. Being a cat, even a large cat, she can be standoffish with strangers, but will warm to people if she feels Cass accepts them as friends. Still, being a cat, she could be snarky more often than not, but she is extremely loyal to those she considers her pride.

[b]History[/b] - Ganesha was a couple years shy out of cubhood when she was poached from her home in the savanna. She was fully grown and already a deadly huntress and killer, but somehow found herself waking up in a cage without remembering falling asleep. In fact the last thing she did remember was stalking her pray in the savanna. When she woke up she was very confused, frightened and at the same time, enraged. She knew she was robbed of her freedom. Still she was well looked after. She was fed regularly and even let out to walk freely within a confined area. She tried to escape a couple of times. She remembered mauling a couple of her captors in the process, but she always woke up in the familiar cage unharmed.
	Little by little Ganesha began to understand the situation she was in a little better. She would observe keenly everything while she was awake and sometimes she would notice changes within her after she awoke.
	She couldn't have known then, but she was part of the preparatory stage of the splice project. The scientists needed enhanced animal DNA to cook up the cocktail they would need for the splicing with human DNA. Little by little her mental abilities were enhanced until the point where, via the help of implanted mechanical voice emulator, she was even able to speak. It took a considerable time, of course, teaching speech to an animal. Even an enhanced one such as Ganesha. But she was a lioness, and a survivor. And she knew that learning meant survival.
	A few years into the project she started noticing a change in the behavior of her captors. She was still well cared for. She was fed regularly and still allowed to roam freely the huge closed off yard. But it seemed like the attention of the scientists had shifted. Ganesha feared what might happen to her and the other animals within the project if their captors lost interest in them all together.
	Plucked out of their natural habitats, experimented on, enhanced and possibly made even more dangerous there was no way they would be allowed to live after they'd served their purpose.
	Ganesha was right to fear the scientists' intentions. After they were successful in splicing the human subjects with the enhanced animal DNA cocktail, most of the animals were disposed off. Ganesha and some of the larger animals were kept for further experimentation and with the idea to be used with military purposes.
	Fortunately for Ganesha one of the scientist had taken a liking to her and after the project was discontinued had bought her off and taken her to his home to be his companion in his retirement. He was an eccentric old kook, but Ganesha was grateful to him. He'd saved her from a fate she dared not imagine. She'd lived with him for 30 something years when he'd come home one day from his travels with a female companion in her mid thirties. He'd introduced her to Ganesha as Cassidy. He'd also explained to Ganesha that he was old and ill and that he didn't want to leave her knowing that she would be left on her own. He also told her what this Cassidy was. That she was one of the kids they'd made, using the results of the experiments done on her and the other animals.
	At first Ganesha was unaccepting of Cassidy. She loved her old kook and even though she knew he was right and that he would leave her soon, she still didn't like the feeling of being handed off to this young cub.
	But the more Cass came to visit, the more Ganesha grew to like her. The girl was open, honest, still rough around the ages, but good at heart. She cared for the old man and for her as well. And when the time came for the old kook to begin his new journey, the two of them sent him off and Ganesha willingly followed Cassidy.

[b]Equipment[/b] - Ganesha has no real need for equipment. What she needs during hunts is already a part of her armor. Namely a camera that transmits to Cassidy's visor and a radio receiver. She has an implanted voice emulator, which is also linked to Cass' coms. [color=ed1c24]/Tech-y people, help. What would be a not too op transmission range for the camera and the signal from her VE - voice emulator, if they are used mainly during hunts?/[/color] When not in combat, her VE is set to out-loud speech.

[b]Ship[/b] - N/A

[b]Extras[/b] - Ganesha can not only speak, but read. She is of what is considered mid to high human intelligence. She still retains her animal instincts and for the most part behavior, but she has acquired some human-esque behavior as well. She is a keen strategist and enjoys playing strategy games /even though I myself don't so not sure how I'm gonna RP that :lol/
