[hider=Federation File: "Scathach"][b]Name:[/b] ???/"Scathach" [b]Alias:[/b] The Blackwing Hunter [b]Age:[/b] Unknown [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Species:[/b] Modified human/cyborg [b]Occupation:[/b] Bounty hunter [b]Residence:[/b] Homeworld unknown. Spends most of her time on her ship, "Spear of Lugh." [b]Physical Description:[/b] Tall, slim, athletic. Short-cropped blonde hair, golden irises with black sclera, and sharp angular features. Subject's arms and legs have been replaced with cyber-prostheses. In armor, subject appears dressed in a hooded black longcoat with a mechanical mask (warning: suit material is much stronger than it appears). Often seen linked up with her "Seraph" drone, which resembles large, mechanical wings when connected to her armor. [b]Personality:[/b] Frustratingly vague and "mysterious." Enjoys playing up the fae aspect of her name, abilities, etc. Playful, arrogant, and mischievous, tends to be somewhat of a show-off on the job. Takes immense pride in her abilities and track record as a hunter. Has a mild obsession/addiction with physical modification, in order to enhance her already formidable capabilities as a bounty hunter. Subject appears to hold great respect for fellow bounty hunter Samus Aran, bordering on outright hero worship. [b]Equipment/Cabilities:[/b] [list] [*] [i]Heliokinesis-[/i] Gene therapy using alien genetic material has granted her the genetic donor's abilities in generating and controlling fusion and plasma. [*] [i]Prominence Drive-[/i] An experimental fusion reactor implanted within the subject, designed to help augment and properly harness her already-existing heliokinetic abilities. [*] [i]Fusion Scythes-[/i] Plasma emitters housed in her arms and legs allow her to project energy blades from her elbows, wrists, knees, and feet. [*] [i]Seraph Apparatus-[/i] An experimental wingsuit, stolen and modified for the subject's use. The wing/thruster part of the apparatus can be separated from the rest of the armor, operated through implanted neural transmitter as an independent drone, for the purposes of recon and air support. Modifications to the apparatus have linked it to the subject's implanted Prominence Drive, boosting its thrust capabilities and also allowing the wings of the apparatus to be cloaked in plasma, turning them into deadly cutting weapons while in flight. [*] [i]Razor-class Transport-[/i] Larger than the standard bounty hunter's gunship, with a significant portion of the ship's space being used as living quarters for its pilot. Comes equipped with plasma-and-fusion-based weaponry, advanced medical/repair bay, small workshop/fabrication suite, armory, etc. [/list] [b]History:[/b] No one is quite sure of when Scathach showed up on the bounty hunter scene- she merely showed up one day, completing assignments at an inhuman pace, usually bounties, assassinations, or seek-and-destroy missions. As her renown grew, so too did her arrogance, leading her to ever greater (and ever less legal) avenues of proving her superiority. As seen by her cybernetics, she is not always successful in such avenues, though she certainly has more wins than losses on her record. Recently, however, her luck has run out, as the Federation has caught up to her for her various thefts of their experimental technology (the Prominence Drive and the Seraph Apparatus, in particular). However, given the present circumstances in the outer reaches of Federation space, there may be a way for the hunter to earn her freedom, if she can survive long enough to pull it off... [/hider]
