[h3][u]Common Inventory[/u][/h3]
[i]Omni-tool [/i]- A bog standard model in poor shape. Not integrated into Jude's cybernetics. Filled to the brim with music.

[i]HF Gun-blade [/i]- A katana, with an integrated coil-gun system near the hilt with the barrel running up the blunt edge of the blade. The katana's blade can vibrate at incredibly high frequencies to increase cutting power.

[i]Mono-molecular Whipsword [/i]- A second katana, this one made of a special magnetic metal that allows it to split into whip-like segments and extend along a monofilament wire when swung hard enough. All of its edges are honed to a single molecule edge.

[i]Galactic Credits [/i]- A few thousand credits, digitally stored.
[h3][u]Spell List[/u][/h3]
[sup]Jude was given fewer spells than a standard marine. In-universe, this was because they spent more time being experimented on and less time practicing their magic than their peers. OOC, this was simply because I felt Jude's stronger robotic body gave them an upperhand that should be given a downside, like fewer spells.[/sup]

[i]Stasis[/i] [color=ed1c24][Timespace][/color] - For up to five seconds, Jude can freeze their own place in time and space, making them unable to be effected by any kind of force. However, they can not move or sense anything during this time, and it is quite taxing to use more than once in a short span.

[i]Magnokinesis[/i] [color=00a651][World][/color] - Jude has the ability to manipulate magnetic fields, most often used in conjunction with their whipblade to make it curve and move in odd ways, confounding opponents. It can be used on any other object, however. There is even enough magnetic material in them that they can fling [i]themself[/i], though it is incredibly tiring and hard to do.

[i]Metal Molding[/i] [color=00a651][World][/color] - Jude can make any metal they are currently within a foot of melt into a meldable liquid like mercury without altering its temperature. When in this state it can be manipulated like a tentacle as long as it stays close to Jude in one unbroken mass. Moving too far (or simply stopping the magic) has the metal reharden to its original solidity in whatever shape it was molded into. Like Magnokinesis, Jude can use this on their own metal body, though here it is no more taxing than usual, and is in fact the general way they use this ability.

[i]Death Rattle[/i] [color=92278f][Mind][/color] - Jude can let out a horrifying scream. Those with weak wills and low resistance to mind magics can be rendered immediately unconscious by hearing it, but stronger people will simply become light-headed, and feel it become harder to concentrate. The soundwave itself also has some kinetic force behind it, about as much as a strong breeze. This magic skill indiscriminately targets friend and foe.
[h3][u]Character Traits[/u][/h3]
Robotic Construction - Around 70% of Jude's body has been replaced with cybernetics. All four limbs, the face, a variety of organs and even part of the brain. While they are far hardier and a bit stronger than most sapient creatures without wearing any armor, they need routine recharging in addition to food to make sure they survive, and an EMP would severely hamper their ability to move and function.

Frontliner - Jude is used to putting their life at risk. With a heavily dulled sense of pain and robotic parts improving on their internal biology, they can push themselves harder, and for longer than the unmodified soldier ever could. They're used to wading into the big fights and putting their life in danger for little reason, so more intense missions are not an issue.

Empathetic - Despite their dour, edgy nature, Jude is deeply empathetic to others, able to see where they are coming from and understand why they might take those actions, even if they are unquestionably selfish or evil. They have come to terms with killing as a necessary evil sometimes, however.

Biography: Jude had a profoundly normal life before their transformation, though they don't remember too much of it. They were the child of two loving parents, one of whom worked a simple office job, and the other quit hers to become a full time parent. They were an emotional child, very attached to their parents and slow to make friends, occasionally anxious or mopey. They were overall, a very unimportant person-- not easy to kidnap, not connected to any important families or rebellious parents. The reason for their particular selection was their biology. 

Their profound normality extended to their genes as well. They were generic to a tee, and would prove the perfect testing grounds as to the limits of genetic alteration in addition to the Kaisoken dust tests. Jude was never far from at least one of their parents, so the details of how they were kidnapped are sketchy to them, considering what happened next.

Instead of a few experiments followed by a battery of abuse and humiliation, Jude was used over and over again as a lab rat, having limbs and organs exposed to high quantities of Kaisoken dust, Rau've-based drugs, serums and other trials pushing the limits of the scientific process. Often parts of their body would have to be amputated and replaced by cybernetic limbs, or kept in check through careful administration of a constant stream of drugs. Even their mind was fair game, and they've been left with permanent memory problems, unable to remember much of their life before the Star Marines program, or even what their gender was before everything that happened.

It was debated whether Jude would ever even see combat, but the Ascendancy were not one to let things go to waste, and many who worked with Jude were eager to see the robotic monstrosity they became die somewhere other than in front of them. They were given far less time to master their magical skills compared to fellow soldiers, but their metal skin proved a helpful asset, and their cybernetics were modified to become combat ready. They barely interacted with the other children, unsuited to doing so and having an appearance that generally warded off anyone in the mood to talk. They simply 'clocked in and clocked out' of the war, as much as they were able to.

While originally mistaken for some kind of android, Jude was afforded the mercy of the Rau've after their capture like all other Star Marines. They could not accept the Rau've's offer for a 'normal' life, however. All they knew was war, and deep down, they wanted to see their real parents again. They joined Moonstrike at its inception, but their withdrawn and flighty nature has meant they haven't seen many missions yet.
