DOB: 8/13/2013 (26)

Born in Xanathan-controlled South Africa during the second decade of their tyranny, Najwa spent her childhood under observation. She underwent endless experimentation due to her specific mutation; granted a highly adaptive genome, she was an ideal candidate for fringe research in genetic engineering.
The trajectory of her life changed during her eighth and final year in captivity. The geneticists were giddy at their latest creation, dubbed XRD-70. They gushed at their genius, twisted grins floating around her restrained form. She would validate their lifetimes of collective effort.
The pain was ineffable. Najwa writhed in agony against her shackles as her genetic code was rewritten. It was at the moment when she could no longer register what happened as pain, but a very scouring of her being, that she lost consciousness.
When she awoke, it was to smoke and the blaring of an emergency broadcast. She was lifted up and carried through formerly austere hallways now littered with debris and the crumpled bodies of guards and technicians. This was her first encounter with those who would become her family.
Over a decade later, Najwa has moved beyond the horrors of her upbringing to become one of NYUNDO's ablest operatives. She fights to prevent any further atrocities against her people. She fights to free the land from Xanathan. She fights because it is right.
- Proficient tactician and strategist, having spent the last 11 years engaging hostile forces. As the adoptive daughter of Asad Moghadani, she continues on a legacy of brilliant commanders.
- Masterful in hand-to-hand and armed combat, Najwa prefers to stay close to her opponents and this is reflected in her martial pastiche. She makes full use of her enhanced strength and speed to explosive effect.
- An expert military operative, Najwa is well-versed in most disciplines but specializes in intelligence gathering, marksmanship, unconventional warfare and long-term survival skills.
- Adaptive Genome: Born with a perfect and highly adaptive genetic code, Najwa has yet to realize the full potential of this ability. In conjunction with the XRD-70 serum, her secondary mutations manifested.
- Enhanced Strength & Durability: Najwa is able to consistently lift and sustain weights in excess of 1,000 lbs with minimal effort. This strength also extends to her legs, enabling her to leap 30 ft in a single bound or 15 ft into the air without a running start. Najwa's musculature and skeletal system are resilient enough to withstand nearby explosions or heavy concussive blows with minor discomfort.
- Enhanced Speed & Agility: Najwa is capable of maintaining a constant speed of 40 mph and can exert herself to sprint at speeds approaching 80 mph. Her agility is of such a magnitude that she can perfectly coordinate her body with superior balance, dexterity and flexibility to perform incredible acrobatic feats.
- Enhanced Reflexes & Senses: By combining her preternatural reaction time and increased mental processing, Najwa is capable of avoiding gunfire from multiple shooters simultaneously by intuitively mapping their trajectory. Her senses are so keen that she can hear approaching vehicles from miles away, sense the body heat from huddled masses through walls and see the heat trails of bullets.
- Enhanced Stamina & Healing: Najwa's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-inducing chemicals in her muscles, granting her exceptional endurance and lung-capacity. She can exert herself at maximum capacity for over an hour before showing signs of slowing. Her immune system was naturally highly resilient, but with the introduction of XRD-70, her white cells are efficient enough to fight off any microbe, pathogen or foreign body. She is immune to all infections and diseases, as well as being unaffected by toxins or drugs. Broken bones and internal wounds mend in days while superficial lacerations are treated in minutes.
- Enhanced Mental Processing: Najwa's mental performance has been increased to such a degree that she has near-limitless information storage and excels at pattern-recognition. She processes and internalizes information at an amazing rate, granting her an accelerated learning aptitude. A byproduct of this is the ability to withstand the brunt of psychic warfare.
- While resembling a standard issue Tropical Combat Uniform, Najwa's fatigues are woven from the fibers of a plant that only grows deep within Marange, cultivated through Ayanda's geomancy and imbued with her protection. The fabric is comparable to Class VI armor, stopping most rifle calibers; it is highly insulated against electric shocks and is flame and corrosive resistant. Her gloves and boots are crafted from the same material.
- Forged from a composite of minerals created by Ayanda during the course of her lifetime organizing the peoples of the Free Territories, Najwa's weapon of choice is a broad panga, nearly three feet in length and a foot across. Aside from being durable enough to handle Najwa's strength, the machete's material acts as a telekill alloy, severely hindering powerful psionics and extra-sensory abilities while charged and activated. The knuckles on her gloves are also fortified with this material.
- Najwa's war-belt is equipped with a fixed-blade hunting knife, reconnaissance tools, limited first-aid, spare magazines and holster for her service pistol, an FN 5.7
- Carried somewhere on her person is a crystalline obelisk that acts as a communicator and beacon in times of need, keeping her in touch with NYUNDO.
