Her straight, black hair grows to her shoulders, with bangs covering her right eye. However, this is not merely a fashion choice; it is a conscious decision to cover said eye, which glows an unnatural yellow (her natural eye color is brown, which is still visible on her left eye) and is very obviously artificial in nature. This is actually not the only cybernetic implant that Yeong-suk has, but the other implants at least are either underneath skin, or mimic the appearance of such. As a result, while it may not be immediately obvious that Yeong-suk is a cyborg at a quick glance, and Yeong-suk intentionally goes out of her way to keep that illusion going, the illusion can quickly dissipate if the eye gets uncovered. Yeong-suk's appereance is finely monitored by the North Korean government, as she is viewed as, alongside other goals, a valuable piece of propaganda. She is almost always seen in a Korean People's Army dress uniform; an olive green suit, with a matching hat and tie. In order to emphasize her femininity, Yeong-suk's suit is matched with a skirt; any concerns of practicality being disregarded by her superiors since it simply just looks better. Completing the outfit is black dress shoes, complimented with matching black gloves (more to conceal her implants and fingerprints than for style purposes).[/indent] [u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u] [indent]■ Patriotic to a fault ■ Deathly Serious ■ Unfeeling ■ Confident in herself and her cause ■ Pragmatic ■ Diligent ■ Doesn't like keeping people close[/indent] [u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u] [indent]Chung Yeong-Suk was born on March 12th in Kaesong, North Korea, the first child of a family of industrial workers. Along with her younger brother, Jeong-Ho, she lived a fairly average life for a North Korean child; she went to school, played youth soccer, learned about the divinity of the ruling Kim family and how North Korea was Best Korea, and was part of the Youth Pioneer Corps. By all accounts, there was nothing remarkable about this North Korean girl compared to any other child. Meanwhile, with the growing global recognition of the Nomad community, and their potential for strength and destruction, the North Korean government became increasingly interested in trying to create an army of ki-enfused supersoldiers. By embracing what the Supreme Leader believed was the next step of human evolution, Pyongyang hoped they could score a massive propaganda victory over the west, if not finally have the edge needed to finally win the suspended war and reunite Korea. As a result, the North Korean government experimented with procedures meant to rapidly develop ki powers within individuals. However, there was a roadblock, stemming from the fact that it mostly ended up disfiguring (if not killing) the people going through the procedure. But, it was hypothesized that perhaps a certain gene sequence, combined with copious cybernetic implants, could handle the procedure. But first, they needed to find the right person... Therefore, when graduation came and went and Yeong-suk, like many patriotic North Koreans, was shuffled along to become the next generation of conscripts for the Korean People's Army, there was a nationwide mandatory test to sequence the genetic code of all incoming conscripts. Yeong-suk was the first one to test positive for that sequence. She was immediately pulled away, and given the option to volunteer for "special training" to undergo the rigorous procedure and become an enforcer for the Kims. In return, her family would be given, nice, cushy lodging in the nation's capital of Pyongyang; totally not there to hold Yeong-Suk hostage or anything in case something went wrong. Yeong-Suk readily accepted, mostly out of genuine patriotism, although she also realized she really didn't have a true say in the matter. Brought to a classified military installation deep in the Korean mountainsides, Yeong-Suk trained under the watchful eye of the military, honing her physical ability, technique in Taekwondo, and most importantly, having her body being augmented with god knows what injections and surgeries. The process was brutal on Yeong-suk's body, and she was written off almost as another failure. But, at the bleakest hour, Yeong-suk started generating ki in an accelerated fashion. Internally, Yeong-suk was informed, she was almost as much of a machine as as a woman at this point; even one of her eyes were replaced with a piece of experimental ki-reading technology stolen from the Chinese. But she was finally a representative of the new breed of the Korean people, one that will lead her nation into glory. Immediately afterwards, part two of her training began, to make her into an assassin. At first, the army attempted to train her ki manipulation and technique themselves. However, when her skills in ki started to surpass anything the military was prepared for, they "persuaded" martial artists from the south and China to train her up further. Owing to her feet-based martial art, Yeong-Suk's trainers put a particular focus on trying to teach her to channel ki through her feet rather than her hands, a technique which she soon adopted almost, if not totally, excursively. The training was just as brutal as the first stage, designed to break her mentally just as much to bring out her absolute potential. Whatever personality Yeong-suk may have had beforehand was broken down, hammered away to make her just as much of a machine as she was physically now. Any sense of the self would prevent her from being her max potential as a weapon of war for the North Korean government.Serving the state was the only thing on her mind; the only thing let into her mind, and willingly embraced. Her handlers rejoiced; they [i]finally[/i] succeeded in creating the first superhuman agent for North Korea.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE [/b][/u] [indent]Yeong-Suk was trained in the half-traditional, half-modern Korean martial art of 태권도 (Taekwondo), a fighting style which emphasizes agility and kicks. While Taekwondo is usually taught as a zoning martial art, using one's reach through legs to keep the opponent at bay, Yeong-Suk's small size makes that not a winning proposition. Instead, Yeong-Suk uses ki techniques to mirror this philosophy, using her feet to generate projectile attacks from a distance. After catching her opponent off guard, she can use her great agility to rush in with wild jump kicks, before forcing the opponent away and starting over. Alternatively, if she thinks the foe is weak enough, Yeong-Suk will skip the zoning altogether and go straight for the rushdown. Defensively, there is much more emphasize on dodging hits rather than blocking. Even without ki, Yeon-Suk is fastfooted, and can easily bob and weave from far to close and vice versa. When she can't simply dodge an attack, she perfers to use her ki techniques to block rather than her physical body; she actually can not take getting hit all that well.[/indent] [u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u] [indent][u]■ 천국의 눈/Cheongug-ui Nun[/u] [indent]The "Eye of Heaven" was a cybernetic implant given to Yeong-Suk when she was selected by the government to become their ki assassin/agent, and was tech that was allegedly stolen from the Chinese without their knowledge. The Eye of Heaven is passively powered by Yeong-Suk's own ki, and confers the ability to observe ki. Living objects radiate blue energy; the more ki, the more brilliant the blue is. It also allows Yeong-Suk to see clearer at night; the ki of other objects will act as a very weak light source. In combat, the only tangible benefit the cybernetic eye gives is that she can observe the ki of her opponent. This makes it harder to fool her with shapeshifting or creating non-living copies of oneself, since their ki signatures would not match up with the perceived reality.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ 백사셋의 발/Baegsases-ui Bal[/u] [indent]"Baeksaseum (A mythological white deer known for it's speed)'s feet" is a technique where Yeong-Suk channels some of her ki into her feet, allowing her to move at speeds beyond her normal physical capability. Under the effects of this technique, she can run at speeds far faster than a human being should be able to go, allowing her to close or create distances rapidly, or perhaps sidestep away from an attack. It doesn't increase her reaction time, nor does it effect the height of her jumping. However, it can be used to build up momentum from running to jump [i]further[/i] than what a human should be able to go.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ 낫 킥/Nas Kig[/u] [indent]The "Sickle kick" is the basic ranged ki attack of Yeong-Suk. Channeling energy to her feet, Yeong-Suk does a roundhouse kick in place, sending a wave of sickle-shaped ki barreling in the direction of her foe.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ 지진 발생/Jijin Balsaeng[/u] [indent]The "Earthquake Strike" is perhaps Yeong-Suk's most versatile attack. She pounds the ground with a ki-infused foot, causing a piece of the earth to dislodge itself and fly into the air. From there, she can either use the piece of earth to block an opponent's range attack (which will usually destroy the mound of dirt), or use her ki again to literally kick it towards the opponent.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ 여왕 바지의 격노/Yeowang Baji-ui Gyeogno[/u] [indent]Much like in her Jijin Balsaeng, "Queen Baji's Fury" (Queen Baji being the Korean Earth Goddess) begins with a channeled ki strike to the ground. Instead of lifting the earth up, it instead creates a fissure, causing jagged rocks to erupt quickly from where the fissure is. Rocks are reasonably sized, hard to jump over but easy enough for someone who could fly to dodge.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ 만 킥 공격/Man Kig Gong-gyeog[/u] [indent]In the "Ten Thousand Kick Attack", Yeong-Suk uses her ki to rapidly kick at speeds faster than the human eye. Each kick isn't much stronger than what a regular kick would be, but they add up very quickly. Due to the high cost of energy, Yeong-Suk can not use this technique for much longer than a few seconds before tiring out.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ 천리마 킥/Chollima Kig][/u] [indent]The "Flying Horse Kick" is the most powerful of Yeong-Suk's attacks, and is basically a dramatic flying kick. When jumping, Yeong-Suk encases one of her feet in ki, and just lunges at her opponent. There is nothing too special she does beyond the ki, but it hurts like a truck when she makes contact. Can tire Yeong-Suk out easily, so she uses it sparingly.[/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u] [indent] [u]■ 여왕 바지의 복수/Yeowang Baji-ui Bogsu[/u] [indent]"Queen Baji's Revenge" is, in simplistic terms, a souped up version of Queen Baji's Fury. Most of the attack is the same, but the rocks are much larger and travel more quickly than in the regular version of the attack. The rocks go far up enough that it could legitimately threaten hovering enemies.[/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ 큰 천리마 킥/Keun Chollima Kig[/u] [indent]Much like her previous super, The "Great Flying Horse Kick" is just a more powerful version of one her basic attacks, this time being the regular flying horse kick. Instead of encasing her foot in ki, Yeong-Suk instead covers her entire body in a glowing box of ki. More of a ram than a kick, Yeong-Suk flings her entire body at her opponent, being easily her most devastating non-lethal attack. While she is encased in ki, she is massively resistant to damage, but not completely invulnerable. WILL tire her out and drain most of her ki after using, leaving an opening if it misses.[/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ 백두산권총/Baek Du San[/u] [indent]Yeong-Suk whips out her [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZ_75#Service_use]Baek Du San[/url] and shoots to kill. Her pistol is loaded with specially made ki-enfused bullets, which is specifically designed in order to penetrate through a Nomad's natural defenses against bullets. However, these bullets are not cheap, so she doesn't carry much of them on her person.[/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u] [indent]The augmentations that Yeong-Suk has underwent has given her body an immense freebie in raw ki power, but it doesn't means she is able to really fully utilize that power. Her body, in fact, was really not designed to be able to output that much ki, and thus there is a sense of frailty that undermines her in fights. Using her ki techniques will tire her out over time, at a rate faster than most nomads. On the other hand, with being barely able to handle the raw output that she has as-is, being actually hit can damage her even more harshly than a typical nomad as well. Due to constantly training with people much weaker than her, Yeong-Suk also overestimates her own abilities. She also has very little experience fighing anyone with ki or magic, and doesn't know how to fight people of similar strength. Finally, the series of cybernetic implants that she has, means that she is very reliant on them to function. Any sort of mechanical interference, such as an EMP, will severely mess her up, up to possibly even being a one hit KO depending on how severe it was.

Her light brown hair, which could almost be mistaken for grey, goes down to her shoulders, and compliments her actual grey eyes quite nicely. Her complexion is fair, white but not overly pale. Lucie's typical outfit depends on context, but her everyday wear is a mix of her MAVERICK uniform on top of street clothes. She has a grey dress with black leggings, covered with her MAVERICK jacket. There is a box of ammo and grenades at her side, and a headset she wears to both communicate and receive orders. Her boots are styled to look a bit like oversized sneakers, and she wears kneepads over her leggings. To complete her outfit is a black bandana, worn as a scarf normally but pulled up in battle[/indent] [u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u] [indent]Highly competitive; hates losing Musically inclined Desperately wants to be liked and to be a hero Introverted by nature but tries to be extroverted Easily irritated Habitually lonely Extremely insecure [/indent] [u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u] [indent]Lucie Bardot was born in Roche, Lower Normandy, a small suburb outside of Caen. Her father, Matthieu, was a veteran of the Gulf War, while her mother, Elodie, was an amateur boxer who was once a nomad with the with the [i]nom de geurre[/i] of Bellonia. With two martial-inclined parents, Lucie and her elder sister Genevieve were both encouraged from a young age to take up martial arts and other physical activities, such as soccer. Lucie, despite being the younger sister, was clearly outclassing her in physical accomplishments, which was fun at first but quickly grew old. Both sisters had a competitive streak that was encouraged by their parents, which only frustrated Genevieve more as Lucie continued to excel in heights that she could never reach. Lucie, on the other hand, started to explore other pursuits other than necessarily fighting, particularly in music making. She started to pick up the bass guitar, learned how to sing, and formed a garage band with her friends, dubbed "Les Loups de Fenrir". All of this was much more fulfilling than constantly training her body like her parents wanted her to do. However, Lucie was simply too insecure, afraid of letting her parents down, and tried to keep it on the downlow rather than confronting them about it. Eventually, Genevieve would pursue a career in the French Navy after graduating from lycée, following a similar career path to her father. Her parents were very determined to get their star pupil on the same track. Secretly, all Lucie really wanted to do was to go to university and get a degree in music theory, but she was, again, too afraid to make her true desires known. Her parents saw great potential in her, and pushed to pursue the initial trials to enlist in GIGN, the elite counterterrorist police tasks force in France. On Lucie's end, going into police work was, to her, more agreeable than the military; at least she could say she was protecting France by stopping awful people in their tracks, rather than just being a tool to be shipped out overseas for god knows what reason. When she did her preliminary screening physical, the doctor noticed that Lucie had some sort of rare mutation that caused her body to generate more ki than the average untrained human, which was the source of her heightened physical characteristics. This brought the attention of the United Nations, who saw her as a perfect candidate for their international anti-nomad counterterrorist force, MAVERICK. Some political maneuvering happened behind the scenes, and before fully finishing training for GIGN, Lucie was informed that she was being "loaned" out to MAVERICK as per an an agreement with France. In all practical terms, she was now answering to New York rather than to Paris...[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE [/b][/u] [indent]The best way to describe Lucie's fighting style is that she doesn't have one. While she was trained in order to deal with Nomadic threats in combat, it never actually involved learning how to fight with ki. Like with many other recruits for MAVERICK with no prior nomad experience, it was simply easier, faster, and more effective to only train physically up to a point where the Frenchwoman can keep up with Nomads in a fight and not get completely overpowered. From there, Lucie would rely on cutting-edge technology to fight any Nomadic terrorists. The secret resides in special ki-enfused bullets. These are specially designed rounds, which allow for bullets to more readily penetrate the innate defenses nomads have against projectiles, making them more in-line with the intended lethality to a regular person. However, ki-enfused bullets are not perfect; they can never perfectly negate the defenses of ki due to the nature of ki itself. The end result is that it can still take multiple shots to even just incapacitate a higher powered nomad. Beyond her gun, Lucie is also equipped with an arsenal of grenades, which she keeps with her in a pouch that hangs to her side. These explosives serve various different tactical roles, and can range from mundane fragmentation grenades to highly specialized, experimental ordinance. Finally, when things truly go south, Lucie can deploy Asterix, her combat robot, to provide heavy support fire.[/indent] [u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u] [indent][u]■ Le Clarion[/u] [indent]"The Bugle", the nickname for the Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne, or FAMAS for short. With a bullpup design and rate of fire of over a thousand rounds a minute, a FAMAS can quickly rain lead on any target while remaining accurate for over three thousand yards. Simply put, this is a weapon designed to kill things quickly. Of course, nomads tend to have a pesky trait of being extremely resistant to bullets, even ki-enfused ones. It can take quite the number of shots to take down a nomad, scaling with how powerful the target. Lucie uses a suppressor with her rifle, partially to not damage her own ears, and partially to maintain stealth in ops. The firing mode can be broken down into three options:[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Aventure de pointer-et-cliquer[/u] [indent]"Point and click adventure", or semiautomatic fire, is her slowest but most efficient and accurate form of attack. One pull of the trigger means only one bullet fired.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Ménage à trois[/u] [indent]Three round burst. A good trade-off between accuracy and volume of fire. Usually her default stance.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ L'Agence tous risques tirent[/u] [indent]"A-Team Firing", or fully automatic. For when everything needs to die quickly.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Citrons[/u] [indent]"Lemons", or fragmentation grenades, are Lucie's main form of non-bullet based damage. It's just a simple grenade; pull the pin, and throw it far far away[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Fumigène[/u] [indent]A basic smoke grenade. Creates a smoke field in which no one can see through. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Assourdissante[/u] [indent]A flashbang. Throw it in an area to temporary disorient people's eyesight and hearing. Including her own if she doesn't throw it right.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Bombe incendie[/u] [indent]A basic incendiary grenade, meant to be used only to obstruct passage to an area and not physically on people. Often time that mandate gets ignored.[/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u] [indent] [u]■ Willie Pete[/u] [indent]A White Phosphorus grenade. Burns flesh, creates smoke that is lethal to inhale, and may cause survivors to hallucinate. There is a line all MAVERICK cross using this grenade; it's a war crime and the UN doesn't want its agents seen using them. Still, those who are lucky and do what's necessary can find a supplier from Dubai willing to part ways with them. Orders not to use them aren't worth following if it means leaving people to die, but their scarcity means Lucie can often only bring a single one to battle.[/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ Tesla[/u] [indent]A highly experimental EMP grenade, nicknamed "Tesla(s)" by MAVERICK agents. Lob them in an area and fry electronics in a short area. They are cutting edge technology, so agents like Lucie are usually only afforded one a battle, but they are devastating to any robotic foe.[/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ Asterix[/u] [indent]The CV-47 "Heinlein" Combat Robot is a remarkable piece of technological innovation employed by MAVERICK. It is a fully autonomous (although not truly sentient) combat drone armed with an M2 Browning HMG, employed when even a FAMAS can't provide enough firepower to complete a job. Astertix is the drone assigned to Lucie, and serves as one of her close companions when on the field, humanizing its quirks as a personality and referring to it as a "he". Astertix usually has a hard time figuring out what is a civilian and what is an enemy, and prefers to shoot first and ask questions later. Therefore, Lucie tends to keep the gun not attached when not expecting to use him, making him essentially useless in combat. Lucie also doesn't just happen to carry a HMG on her person, so she can't easily convert him on the fly either. [/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u] [indent]Take away the gun and the bombs and she is essentially powerless against any nomad-level threat. She has no ki techniques [i]at all[/i], projectile or otherwise. The grenades are all AoE, and can easily hurt herself if she is caught in the blast radius, so she can only use them at a reasonable distance away from her. The FAMAS is a bullet chugger, particularly if left on full-auto, and thus needs to reload often. This can be an opportunity for foes to catch in.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][indent]Lucie is still competently trained in a fist to fist fight, as per to her military training. However, she lacks the raw ki power to fight offensively with her fists against another nomad, and will most likely lose even to the weakest nomad in fistcuffs, if it came down to it[/indent][/indent][/hider]
