[color=f7976a]Name:[/color] Minerva Richards

[color=f7976a]Rank:[/color] Officer

[color=f7976a]Class:[/color] Witch/Sorcerer

[color=f7976a]Gender:[/color] Female

[color=f7976a]Age:[/color] 25

[color=f7976a]Appearance:[/color] While she was about average height at 5'8" or 173cm, her ability can make her look bigger than she really was. Her equipment as well gives her the appearance of being bulkier than she was. Under the mask and clothing, she sports short dirty brown hair, with gaunt eyes hidden under them. 

[color=f7976a]Personality:[/color] A work minded individual, who focuses on the now with laser concentration. In every matter she would think and do, but never allows herself to doubt. She strides forward always, and never stops walking forwards. Not without orders, and certainly not if the order conflicts with her goals. 

[color=f7976a]Background:[/color] There was once a family in the village, unnamed. While their lives were common, one girl in it felt it was not. As her body matured so to did her desires and views. As undeveloped feelings were rejected, it left only a burning flame, and a numbness in her heart. As everything lost its color, a voice called out to her as her feet hesitantly dangled over the streets below. 

A tired voice, who offered her a way.

The same path, certainly, but one that will not leave her useless. Seeking salve to ease the pain, though her mind were numb, her feet left the concrete. 

Except, she could not leave. And the one who wanted her life, could not stay. By some cruel luck or twist of fate, their lives stood at an equilibrium, leaving them both with their pains unsalved. Thus did she start looking for a way to cut the bond, finally joining the Institute to take advantage of their resources to do so.

[color=c4df9b]Name of Familiar:[/color] Dgrjl
[color=c4df9b]Type:[/color] Contract(?)

[color=c4df9b]Contract details:[/color] Rather than a contract, it was more akin to a fused link. They were as attached as surely as a hand to the wrist. It was not an exaggeration that she became an extension of the dragon and the dragon hers. The equilibrium of lives will never be broken unless broken whole. 

[color=c4df9b]Species:[/color] Dragon

[color=c4df9b]Appearance:[/color] A large rotting dragon, its flesh sloughing off slowly with every move it makes. Where scales still adhere to its body, they gleam a dull green. However, the rest of its body was mostly comprised of nauseating rotting flesh, where not even maggots could adhere to it. The white of bones showed through flesh, though it didnt hamper its wings.

[color=c4df9b]Gender:[/color] ???

[color=c4df9b]Personality: [/color]Perhaps it had a different personality once, but now it was mostly taciturn, dismissive of anyone that wasn't Minerva. Pride still dominated its frame, subdued but there. Whether it deigns to converse or even acknowledge someone depends entirely on whether it thinks them worthy. Or if it thinks them useful in some way.

[color=c4df9b]Background:[/color] It came to Minerva one night, sensing her pain. As it was already on the brink of death, it asked Minerva for her life, seeing as she was already on the precipice. Whatever it had intended to do with it, this connection didn't seem to be its desired outcome. 

As to where it came from, or how it was injured so badly that it needed to communicate with a human, it did not deign to answer, only saying that there was pressing issues then. Regardless, it was obviously highly intelligent, sapient and more importantly, willing to cooperate as long as it could search for a way to finish what it had started.

[color=c4df9b]Powers and traits:[/color] Fiery claws and fiery breath comes as easily to it as breathing. Should it eat enough bio material, it can manifest black bugs with sharp claws and the ability to shoot sharp stingers at short ranges to help it scavenge and help repair any part of its body. Its most powerful ability however, was manifesting a 2m field around its body. Extended to cover its large body, the field would only moderately slow projectiles down. Scaled down it could slow projectiles greatly, but only cover a smaller part of its body. Its true use however, was to warp the user's body in that radius, shattering it like a fractal mirror if they so choose. 

[color=c4df9b]Additional boons:[/color] N/A

[color=f7976a]Standard Equipment and on duty armor/attire if applicable:[/color] Ceramic silver composite materials for her inner armor, and her face mask, designed especially to withstand tremendous heat. The trenchcoat she wears all the time is woven from aramid threads laced with silver to make it especially protective against heat. Last layer underneath is a bodysuit made with what the scientists called muscle tape, enhancing both speed and strength. Revolvers, or rather coilguns with a simple feeding mechanism to maximize its output, was secreted throughout her body under the coat.
