Sooner or later you figure out that they're enjoying it. " ___ "Us teenagers are at the perfect crossroads of childish naivete and adult realism -- we still believe that problems can be solved, and now we also have the tools and knowledge to solve them "[/i] ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [/center] [center] [b]Name:[/b] Hazel Smith [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Nationality:[/b] American [b]Languages Spoken:[/b] English [Fluent] Japanese[Conversational] Korean[Conversational] [/center] ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [b]Cybernetic Enhancements:[/b] [u][color=skyblue][i]Right and left leg " Runner " prosthesis[/i][/color][/u] Following a car accident when she was young, Hazel lost both legs at the mid thigh down. After a good year of being confined to a wheelchair, her Godfather returned from his military service and used a large chunk of his paycheck to pay for a prosthesis. The " Runner " model was designed to reduce the negative effect of long distance running on the user, and allow for a much higher top speed as well as increase vertical jump height. As a result these prosthesis and many other similar ones are banned from professional competitions for the unfair advantage it gives, however they have become favorites of underground message runners, allowing them to have an easier time outrunning pursuers. [u][i][color=skyblue]"Watcher" left eye implant[/color][/i][/u] One of her own implants of choice paid for once again by her godfather, the " watcher " implant is technically a replacement for her deadened left eye, another result of the accident in her youth. The implant allows for a connection to many handheld devices, is able to project an image allowing her to use her phone without touch, works quite well in low light conditions and is equipped with a 4X zoom as well as the ability to store small amounts of information independent of a mobile device. [b]Property:[/b]Cell Phone ( Internet connection, " Watcher " connection ), Cigarettes ( Camel Original ), Brass Knuckles ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [b]Appearance:[/b] 5ft6 with long straight black hair, Hazel has the face of a typical Japanese young woman, taking quite heavily after her mother in this respect. Her eyes match her name, a beautiful brown/gold, though her left eye seems slightly off color from her right though, the grey tinge betraying the cybernetics. Her clothing most often consists of black jeans and a tank top of some sort, accompanied by a leather jacket or dark hoodie. From the mid thighs down it is very apparent that she has cybernetics, the specialized " Runner " limbs a dull grey color that reflects little light, a request from Hazel. [b]Personality traits:[/b] Naive, Secretive, Curious, Skeptical, Sleepless [b]Background:[/b] Born in Southern Texas, Hazel is about as far as one can get from the Asian lifestyle. Her mother moved to America with her american father in 2034 and two years later gave birth to Hazel. Hazel was raised far from her mother's homeland, and never thought too much of it until the car crash that crippled her and killed both her parents in 2045, leaving her an orphan at age 10. Her godfather, Steven Braun had only recently retired from the millitary at that point, but fully took over her care and spent a great deal of his savings to make sure his god-daughter would be able to walk again. The pair moved to Suribachi following Hazel's questions about her mother's old life, and by the point that Steven had found out what condition the place was in, it was already too late. Hazel's mother had left her home for good reason, her father being very involved with the Yakuza at the time and hoping that his daughter would join into the " Family business " She would not. Hazel still does not know this, and she now resides in a small home in Suribachi with her godfather searching for what is left of her mother's family, in hopes of learning more about the other end of her heritage. [b]Skills:[/b] [i][u]Liar -[/u][/i] Despite her rather innocent appearance, Hazel has spent a good amount of her childhood lying to try and get her way. From hiding report cards and sneaking back into her bed at 4 in the morning, to hiding cigarettes from her parents and godfather. She has developed an excellent poker face and knows how to twist a cute smile to her advantage. [i][u]Free-runner - [/u][/i] following the addition of her new legs, a few weeks worth of her " putting them to the test " gave her a love of freerunning, it allowed her to often get into spaces normally unable to be reached and also matched her hatred of being confined to one space. When not at home Hazel can often be found climbing something, standing atop a building with no roof access or laughing while evading police. [i][u]Natural Athlete -[/u][/i] Even before her accident at age 10, Hazel was a natural athlete. Nobody in her classes could outrun her, and she frequently gave her father a run for his money when she decided he was moving too slowly. But now, with the addition of high grade prosthesis there is little one can do to catch her outside of a gun or a car. [b]Flaws:[/b] [i][u]Weakness for animals:[/u][/i] Be it a bird, cat, dog or snake Hazel can never help but love animals, and this has gotten her into trouble more than once. [i][u]Curiosity killed the cat:[/u][/i] Hazel can never take no for an answer, any attempt at forcing her to accept anything less than the truth results in her disappearing from sight, and forcing her way into anything that could even remotely give her an answer.
