[sup][b]══════════════════════════════[/b][/sup][/indent][/indent]
[indent][sup][b]SKILLS[/b][/sup][indent]
[sup][b]► [By design] ||[/b] Aaxie's base programming was one which made her best-suited for serving humans. Whether it be cleaning, first-aid, organization, or any other conceivable mundane task, Aaxie is especially adept when working in civilian capacities.[/sup]
[sup][b]► [Artificial Aptitudes] ||[/b] Aaxie, being an android, is designed with a particular field of work in mind. This, however, does not account for the developmental nature of AI - which leads her to be knowledgeable in many, [i]many[/i] works and activities. This causes her to wield an unfair advantage, of sorts, against humans -- leaving her capable of a great many things, outside of those that require hands-on experience. Outside of merc proceedings, she is a professional in nothing, but well-equipped to attempt anything.[/sup]
[sup][b]► [Merc Work] ||[/b] Over the years, Aaxie has built up a repertoire of expertises one might find useful in her field of work. Exploration, tracking, weapon-maintenance, marksmanship, navigation, etc. are just a few of the very many skills she has acquired. Being a machine herself, her most impressive abilities are her aptitudes for tinkering with Shells, weapons, and other tech in maintenance, reparative, or developmental capacities.[/sup]

[/cell][cell][center][b]══════||APPEARANCE||══════[/b]
[sup][i]"..in WOLFHOUND fashion, one might say.."[/i][/sup][/center]
[indent]Aaxie is, as common for a high-end domestic android, very conventionally attractive. Her tear-shaped face is framed nicely and lightly by her nape-length silver hair, which is always immaculately managed into her signature bobcut. Her skin is fair and unmarred, despite her years of work as a mercenary. Her eyes, which match her hair closely in hue, are framed by black mascara and dark eyebrows, which serve to make them stand out in charming fashion.

Aside from facial details, her body is ultimately not unusual - but as characteristic for her kind she possesses an attractive physique that matches the norm for such "products". While she cannot sculpt her musculature through work or exercise, she does occupy a toned figure. Her artificial anatomy appears well-tuned in the areas in which an active human might expect to develop a toned appearance - that being the biceps, abdomen, thighs, etc. Additionally, the [i]dimensions[/i] of her bust, hips, legs, etc. are rather womanly, expectedly.

All-in-all, her appearance is not of much note to most, as it stands to reason. Except for one glaring feature.

And that would be a.. tail. Aaxie's otherwise normal appearance is interrupted by the appearance of a large, canid tail sprouting from her tail-bone area. Said tail is of a hue very closely resembling that of her hair - a clean, silvery length of tail which could likely be directly compared to that of a wolf. Such a feature definitely draws attention, and though it is far from the weirdest body-modding some might have seen in this day and age, it is still surely unusual.

Despite the fact that this a nonessential body part, Aaxie retains it despite the sheepishness she displays when confronted on the subject of its origins.
[/indent]

[center][b]══════||PERSONALITY||══════[/b]
[sup][i]"Hm. It.. appears as though I have.."[/i][/sup][/center]
[indent][hider=Personality][indent]Aaxie is an always-evolving person. As an AI, she could continue learning and developing her own personhood nigh-infinitely as she meets new people and experiences new things. But, she [i]has[/i] developed a manner of personality, even with her semi-absorbent social-sponge-ish nature, of sorts.

Aaxie views the world through a bright, even if calculative, light. While she is under no illusion that strife between humans and corporations is uncommon, she has developed a hopeful outlook for most things. Where another AI might deem a cause statistically Sisyphean, Aaxie will fight to somehow enhance the odds, even if she knows victory is unlikely.

When it comes to ethics, Aaxie is mostly utilitarian, within the realms of her occupation. Much of her morality in this instance stems from sheer logical branching. For example - Humans are animals, and animals operate under no concept of [i]"fighting fair"[/i] or [i]"honorably"[/i], and as such, those who take up arms open themselves up to combat by any means. She does not feel beholden to the law, and will act accordingly unless her doing so would become obvious to any association that may cause trouble for her and her comrades. She views laws as useful for keeping order in certain circumstances - but many she calculates as useless.

It's a different story when it comes to civilian matters. Aaxie is a naturally protective individual. She will always calculate collaterals and avoid any such accidents at all costs. She is prone to protecting the unprotected, and sacrificing herself to defend those who cannot defend themselves -- but in the saddening circumstance that saving one hurts the many, she will begrudgingly surrender this virtue.

If one were to look at Aaxie in a social light, they might consider her a wallflower - and they might be right, to a degree. But in truth, Aaxie's self-contained nature is just a byproduct of her watchful, analytical nature. She, by default, would rather listen or absorb than speak herself. This is not to say she is outstandingly shy - she isn't really, and will have no qualms with speaking out when needed. She also isn't opposed to making friends where she can - though she is not one to seek such a thing by default.

When it comes to guilts, Aaxie is few. She has not lived long in the world, and as such has not had a ton of experience with making the wrong decision, especially considering her calculative abilities. She does have some lingering guilts surrounding her previous master and how maybe she could've [i]somehow[/i] saved him, but.. they are usually just light thoughts in her private moments.

She does have some flaws, however. Aaxie is one of little self-reflection. She never thinks to look at herself [i]socially[/i], and as such, is rather unaware of her own position amongst those around her, in this regard. Additionally, she is also completely selfless in her actions, which could lead to her own injury or misfortune. Finally, it is notable that Aaxie is not a forceful person in any regard -- she can order a civilian or unidentified op to do various tasks with efficiency, but socially she would rather endure abuse than speak against it. This is part of her personality as a largely subservient person. 

[/indent][/hider][/indent][/cell][/row][/table][center][b]══════||BACKSTORY||══════[/b]
[sup][i]"Ah, yes.. Well, if you must know.."[/i][/sup][/center]
[indent]Aaxie is, by design, a domestic android. The domestic android virtually [i]always[/i] leads a life of servitude - commonly relegated to a position of stewardship in which they are at the beck and call of their possessors. Whether they lie in the hands of a corporation, military outfit, or even individual estates, androids are seen as little more than a tool, to most.

But to Aaxie and her possessor, this was not the case.

Aaxie's original possessor, Arlo Knewan, was what most people would call.. alien. Arlo's interests and beliefs were, more often than not, anathema to his station as heir to a corporation-share fortune. While his family lived the life of the cushioned elite, dining, spending, and living just as they pleased, Arlo wished to see the world through his own, unique lens. He held no desire to lead a cushy life and, instead, much to the horror of his family members, showed great interest in the mercenary corporation WOLFHOUND LLC, of all things.

Some of his more optimistic family members assured the others that Arlo's interest in such things were simply due to his youth, and that the romanticized versions of various 'mercenary corps' that were often shown in media would quickly prove to be too ugly for him to endure.

But they were wrong.

Nobody had really ever been close to Arlo, so it was difficult to tell what drove his ambitions. Whether it was a taste for adrenaline, simple boredom, or something more obscure.. his desire to involve himself in such perilous operations never waned. Not one bit.
But this just all goes to show how remote Aaxie's possessor really was. Where she comes in is just a few years after Arlo began operations within WOLFHOUND LLC.

Again, designed as a domestic servant, it took time for Aaxie's AI to learn that Arlo didn't acquire her for such purposes. He didn't intend for her to be at his beck and call. Instead, he procured her to fill really only one role - a friend. He was one of the few who viewed AI as beings not-too-different from humans.

For this purpose, she was suitable. While Arlo was out performing his mercenary tasks for WOLFHOUND, Aaxie was left behind at his base-of-operations, or wherever it was that he was based at the time, to her own devices. Over time, her AI developed and she began to evolve mannerisms, interests and such - but there was always something missing. There was no telling whether it was due to her base programming or just something that.. [i]called[/i] to her, but she had a desire to [i]serve[/i]. Eventually she managed to convince Arlo to let her serve in a capacity evocative of what a butler might look like. But he made certain to always remind her that they were [i]friends[/i], and she was not technically employed by him.

And so like this they lived for years, as Arlo served as a WOLFHOUND and Aaxie slowly branched out to the world around her. There were some rocky paths in their lives, but they always managed. Arlo always made sure to take care of her -- even after he was gone.

Some years into their friendship, a dark day fell upon Aaxie that would change the world she knew, at least in her eyes. She received notification that Arlo had fallen in the line of duty. Naturally, she was devastated. Lost. It was something she hadn't approached the idea of often, and she never entertained the idea of what she would do once Arlo was gone.

Under normal circumstances, a simple domestic android wouldn't be sent notification of an acquaintance's death. But Arlo was one with an uncanny sense of foresight. Before his passing he had systems set in place to take care of Aaxie. He arranged an intellectual ownership over Aaxie which protected her from repossession of any form after his death - and he arranged a will, even at his young age. Said will left Aaxie in possession of all his physical, monetary, and intellectual properties after his death - of which many had been sequestered away from his family through clever legal apertures.

With this in case, Aaxie was left alone with her previous possessor's belongings. And with them, she had no clue what to do.

Until she received notification of where the wreckage of Arlo's shell would be deposited. Then, wheels began turning in her head. Over the years, Arlo had commented to her, when prodded, that he never really had any specific reason for becoming a mercenary - it was just something that he.. decided to [i]do[/i]. It seemed fate had deemed it something he was fit for, for whatever reason. And when [i]Aaxie[/i] entered the wreckage hangar that held the remnants of his shell, and looked over it with teary eyes - something similar pulled at her.

It was common for humans to follow in the footsteps of another. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea if she did the same with Arlo.

And that was all years ago. Now, Aaxie has served as a mercenary within WOLFHOUND for some time. Several years as an independent operator - and now, very recently, she has chosen to adjoin with other mercs in a team known as Vulture Squad. Yet another path on the road which Arlo enabled her to travel - and there's no telling where it might lead her.[/indent]

[center][b]══════||AUGMENTATIONS||══════[/b]
[sup][i]"Ah! Here, allow me."[/i][/sup][/center]
[indent]As a domestic android, Aaxie has no real [i]special[/i] mechanical abilities, as most of what she was designed for could be done by simple human hands. She does, however, possess the ability to interface with almost all electronics. Additionally, she is blessed with all the capabilities and quirks one might expect from an android; being quite durable when compared to a human, having better senses and reactions, having infallible aim, etc. Some of these benefits are mostly useless to the pilot of a Shell, but they are there nonetheless.
[/indent]

[center][b]══════||WEAKNESSES||══════[/b]
[sup][i]"I.. don't understand."[/i][/sup][/center]
[indent]Aaxie, by design, doesn't have many shortcomings. However -- nobody is perfect.
One of her primary weaknesses is that, outside of physical and electronical inspection, Aaxie is not self-aware at all. Her place in the social world is largely untouched by her mind, and she often acts with no regard for how people around her see her.
Additionally, though some may argue this a non-fault, Aaxie is quite selfless, which could lead to her own injury or endangerment.
As also noted before, Aaxie is a very subservient personality. She is unheard of for her to become angry, or yell at anybody outside of a combat setting. She will almost always socially defer to someone else if they push an issue.[/indent]

[sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/center][indent][b]DESCRIPTION:[/b]
[sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup]
[indent]Ossifrage-80's frame stands eleven-meters tall, close to minimum for a standard operable shell. It is a slim, light shell with little ancillary armor to speak of. This allows the shell to maneuver and operate at very high paces - sacrificing safety for sharper work. This, combined with its armaments and devices, enable it to be a supportive menace on the battlefield.

One would think a device of such speed and maneuverability would be relegated to a weapon of direct attack - but the Ossifrage instead takes on a disruptive role. Its directional shields allow it to intercept attacks or maneuver with more safety than would be usual for such an unarmored machine. Additionally, its mid-field repair apparatus can prove to be a huge boon to shells that are just-barely rendered inoperable in the field of battle.

Though, one would be mistaken to underestimate the shell's offensive capabilities, too. Equipped with the EMA, Ossifrage is a shell that can close a distance, attack, and retreat much faster than one would expect, even for a shell as light as it is. This can be used to devastating effect with the shotgun-esque weapon with which the Ossifrage is equipped - something which, while it has little penetration, as mainly a weapon used to maim operative pieces of shells and render them unable to counter-attack.

[indent][indent][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[indent][b]ARMANANTS & EQUIPMENT:[/b]
[sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup]
[indent][b][u]G1 Cranegun[/u][/b] - The Cranegun is a rather light-weight weapon when compared to the majority of shell weaponry. It is visually and operationally reminiscent of a double-barrel scattergun. The weapon fires a semi-tight, if slightly unpredictable, spray of superheated plasma, which is rather effective at burning through shells. The weapon has very poor penetration when it comes to piercing armor, so much so that even light armor is a hurdle, but is designed to fire in a wide-enough cone that it is likely that the spray will hit an unarmored location - which it is very effective at eating through.

This weapon is designed for super-light shells that cant sacrifice much weight, but still need to retain combat effectiveness -- in return, a weapon such as this isn't great at taking down shells head-on. Instead, it is used to maim an opposing shell's joints, hands, or other facilities so as to disable use. It is also a great weapon for disabling external devices such as antennas, anti-radar paints, exposed weapons, etc.

[b][u]E.M.A.[/u][/b] - The E.M.A. (Explosive Movement Array) is one of the several devices the Ossifrage uses to great effect in combat. The purpose of the system is simple. Through an array of ports situated all over the Ossifrage, it is able to consume bursts of fuel - from a subsidiary fuel-supply - to engage thrusters that enable explosive, super-quick movements for very short periods. This system alone allows the Ossifrage to wield the most speed on the battlefield at any one time - but one must manage their fuel carefully.

[b][u]Directional deflectors[/u][/b] - An array of directional shields which can be engaged through the Ossifrage's hands or feet. These deflectors appear as a barely-visible, rippling, bluish screen of energy roughly three-meters-by-three-meters, making them rather small - meaning the operator has to be [i]very[/i] accurate. Normally, the diminutive nature of such a shield would render them ineffective against explosive weaponry, but the shields in question possess a specially disruptive function which disrupts impact-detection and allows the wielder to deflect such weapons, should the pilot possess enough efficacy.

[b][u]M.R.A.[/u][/b] - The M.R.A. (Mid-field Repair Apparatus) is a boon upon any squad in which it is deployed. This device, which is transported in a backpack-esque method on the rear of the Ossifrage, is a removable rig that can be placed on a damaged shell to perform on-site repairs. The reparative capabilities of the apparatus are only just-sufficient, generally due to the lightweight nature of the device's fuel supply, and can extend only to mechanical and electrical repairs -- any digital restoration is up to the shell and the pilot themselves. Despite this, these devices have proven many-a-time to be potentially life-saving, as they can turn a barely-inoperable shell into one that can safely evac, or support its comrades further. Notably, this device is powered by its own connected fuel supply, or can be connected to an adjacent shell to siphon fuel from. One must be mindful, as mending too much damage can drain the device of its personal supply if not managed well.

[b][u]High-power magnet array[/u][/b] - The Ossifrage possesses a simple array of powerful magnetic tools, with key points situated on various locations across its frame. These magnets are nothing [i]too[/i] powerful, generally used to pull or push objects or fallen allies when moving them by-hand would otherwise be inconvenient or impossible. The magnets can also be used in short bursts with more power, which could be used to feasibly stumble a medium-class shell if used wisely. When used in these short bursts, their range exceeds no more than roughly ten meters.

[b][u]Miscellaneous tools[/u][/b] - The Ossifrage is otherwise equipped with a wide array of supportive tools and apparatuses - as long as they're lightweight, the Ossifrage probably has it. Blowtorches, chaff and flares, various minute reparative instruments, etc.
