[b]Written Appearance[/b]
[indent]Standing at 5’6” she is neither tall nor short but there is where her averageness ends.  One look at her physic and one can tell she is very athletic, with a toned body and noticeable muscles but not so much that it crosses over into unfeminine territory.  With her shoulder length blonde hair, sharp cyan eyes, and light peach-colored skin she is quite pleasing to the eye; however, she tends to not bother with her hair too much, letting the ends grow wild and the way her eyebrows are angled upward at such a degree gives her a bit of a cruel and unwelcoming look.

On the job usually she is decked in full combat gear, combat vest, plenty of pouches and straps for ammunition and knives, and of course a sidearm holster.  Very rarely will she wear a helmet however as at her level it more gets in the way than actually helps out in combat.  When not on the job you can usually find her in jeans or cargo pants, and a simple white hoodie or T-shirt.  Even off-duty though she never leaves home without her sidearm and a few other pieces of equipment.[/indent]
[b]Personality[/b]
[indent]While a person who takes her jobs seriously you probably wouldn’t know it by now she acts.  Erika is the type who will crack jokes and make snide remarks even at inappropriate times.  She is not very lady like and has more of a rough edge to her.  She can be nice but her brand of nice is probably not what other people would consider as nice.  A bit of hard love and mocking is more her style than cuddles and reassurance.

While possessing a semi-rotten personality one cannot deny her brutal honesty and fierce will to protect others while mercilessly beating down the bad guys.  While she tends to enjoy bringing the beatdown on her opponents if the decision comes to between taking down a baddie and saving a life, she will save the innocent life 10/10 times.  Her purpose in life is to save life but she doesn’t have to be exactly kind when doing it.[/indent]
[b]Background[/b]
[indent]Erika Beryl was essentially what you could call a designer baby.  Her cellular-structure was modified at birth to make her stronger and smarter than normal.  This process was bought for by her parents on the black market.  When it was discovered by the government they were none too pleased at the revelation and forcibly adopted the young girl at 5 years old.

As she had already been genetically engineered this made her DNA easier to manipulate and so more extensive testing began.  A Doctor Tread was soon put in charge of her development and so Erika grew up under intense observation.  After a few years she was able to return back to her parents but under the watchful eye of Dr Tread who continued to treat her.  Finding herself much stronger than those around her she naturally started getting involved in more physical activities and became the ‘honey badger’ of sports and combat do to her unnatural toughness.

Deciding she wanted to use her talents to good use, she decided to go to police academy so that she could protect people.  On the side the government made sure to give her extra training in more lethal combat styles and to continue their gene-manipulation so she could became a government weapon when needed.  Graduating at the top of her class, especially in the physical department, she soon became a member of the police force that would often be sent straight into combat to quickly subdue any situation.

Her current assignment is in West Capitol[/indent]
[center][h3]Weapon & Techniques[/h3][/center]
[b]Weapon[/b]
[indent][u]Pump-action Shotgun[/u] – Her main weapon of choice when on the job, this dark grey and brown bad boy has been modified to be a lot more powerful than normal and makes for a decent melee weapon as well if needed. It can hold 4 rounds at a time plus 1 in the chamber.   She usually has 20 extra shells on hand.  It has a Total length of 2’4” and weighs 8 lb.

[u]Taurus 9mm[/u] – Her trusty side-arm which she carries around at all times, only really useful against normal thugs but holds sentimental value as her first gun. It sports a fairly traditional black and metallic look.  It holds 7 bullets per clip and usually she has two extra clips. It's stats are a 3.2” barrel length, weighing at 22 oz.

[u]Combat Knives[/u] (3 + 1 Ki Blade) – Usually found in her vest pockets she can use them in hand-to-hand combat or as throwing knives. She always keeps one special knife on hand which has an orange handle, which allows her to pump Ki into the weapon to make it stronger and sharper. They weigh 11 oz, have a 1’ overall length, and a 6.5” Blade length.[/indent]

[b]Techniques[/b]
[indent][u]Landmine[/u] – She infuses the ground under her feet with Ki, creating a trap that will activate as soon as the next person or animal comes within range.  She can also trigger it prematurely to cause a distraction or set off another trap.

[u]Razor Edge[/u] – She cycles her Ki through her hands or her special Ki Blade.  This cycling creates a sharpness that can easily cut through flesh; however, it works best when being used through her Ki Blade as it gets condensed much more, increasing its sharpness and effectiveness, allowing it to carve through many metals.  As the technique uses a lot of Ki she has to use it fairly conservatively, especially without her Ki Blade.

[u]Vital Strike[/u] – Trained in the art of killing, Erika specifically targets spots on that body that can cause fatal injuries.  To cause said injury she concentrates into a single contact point on her body such as a toe, knuckle, or finger.  On contact the concentrated point unleashes its deadly ki into a pin-pointed strike.  The attack has to be positioned just right however for it to be effective so mostly just used as a finishing blow.

[u]Energy Barrier[/u] – By concentrating she can create an energy barrier where she puts her hands.  The barrier is best at stopping Ki and energy attacks while physical attacks can more easily break the barrier.  The barrier only appears in front of her hands, covering the area equivalent of a large shield around 5 feet diameter.

[u]Energy Grenade[/u] – Collecting her Ki into her hand she lobs the energy ball into the air or at an opponent.  The ball then either explodes shortly afterward or on contact with an object or person, showering the area with Ki shard, like the shrapnel from a normal grenade.
