Bio
"Humanity takes great pride in three things. Their willpower, their greed and their mortality.
Their will and endless greed allows them to grow and ascend past other creatures But their mortality denies them divinity
It's a delightful purgatory between being Fallen and being Divine"
<Snipped quote by 13org> One way to balance it out would be to make it so Anya had to switch between channels to view things through a ThirdEye, rather than giving her a single unified vision. That way not only would deploying too many of them simultaneously be a little overwhelming to keep track of, but while using one Anya would be functionally defenseless and reliant on someone literally watching her back until she switched back to her main augmentation.
If that was used by anyone else, information overload would be a real problem. But Anya's augmentation also deals with that. Since Anya is usually away from where the conflict would happen, her main augment is something like an alert for her to GTFO of things get ugly.
<Snipped quote by 13org> 'Silenced' firearms are still surpringly load, and generally the term 'suppressed' is used instead. Most people would easily hear a silenced pistol firing either in the street outside their house or from a couple of rooms away inside the building. However, the sound tends to be significantly different from what most people associate with a gunshot, and such sounds tend to be disregarded as background noise and not reported or recorded.
Also it's a little easier to tag someone without them knowing when all you have to do is pull a pin and slip the ThirdEye into their pocket surreptitiously, rather than shooting them in the back.
A supressor only deals with the noise the bullet makes when getting out of the rifle and not with the Sonic boom the bullet makes when travelling through the air.
Anya's rifle, due to not being a normal gunpowder rifle, is already pretty silent. The suppressor only makes it even quieter. That would deal with any hopes of someone to pinpoint her location due to the sound (since the only ones able to hear anything at all are those right besides her target, and even though,be able to pinpoint her location due to the fact that the thing producing the noise is the bullet, not the rifle. The Sonic boom is just a reminder that someone just killed your friend over there)
Unfortunately, dealing with the Sonic boom is completely different. In order to make a 'completely silent' weapons, a couple of things are needed, which the most notable is a subsonic rifle and ammo.
A slower bullet would not produce the characteristic Sonic boom that it does when passing by someone, but in the other hand, less speed means less range and penetrating power. In order to deal with this issue, heavier bullets would be needed to raise the projectile's penetration power at the cost of a heavily reduced range.
<Snipped quote by 13org> I'd suggest that the bullet type would be a little smaller than the standard version you've described so far, since it would have to be able to fit into the 4x30mm rounds standardly used by her rifle. This would mean less refined sensors and reduced battery size. Overall that would make for a shorter life, smaller range unit which could be quickly and messily deployed at greater range, and would be inferior to the larger version which would require more planning and logistics to place.
Basically, if Anya has the time to get one of the other devices into place manually then it would be better to do that, but in a situation where she needs to quickly establish a sensor net in a hurry, the bullet type would allow her to get on point far faster.
Would the transmission range affect her augmentation in any way? Could Anya use the bullet types as a 'signal repeater' if she needed to relocate in a hurry and would be moving out of range of devices already in place?
Great idea. Making the bullet type less powerful, with less range and unlike the normal device, lasting only a few minutes would make it so the normal devices would still be the better choice, and the bullet type only a 'backup' if things don't go as planned.
<Snipped quote by 13org>
Would the transmission range affect her augmentation in any way? Could Anya use the bullet types as a 'signal repeater' if she needed to relocate in a hurry and would be moving out of range of devices already in place?
Their range is pretty ridiculous, so that isn't something Anya should be too worried about.
Oh and I had already posted an IMG for the bullet type on my CS XD
<Snipped quote by 13org> In that case Anya might want to replace the explosive with a thermite charge instead. Explosive would shatter the device, but may leave some components intact, while a thermite charge would melt the device, transforming it into a molten lump of slag metal which would be worthless to anyone wanting to salvage the tech.
Plus it'd be a little more discouraging to anyone attempting to tamper with one of them.
Great idea. Thermal charges it is.
<Snipped quote> I'd advise against making the hum too audible, since as it is Anya could plant the device on a vehicle or even a person without them noticing too easily. This could then be used to 'map' an area as the target moved through it, especially if she tagged a security guard or sentry working a patrol route.
Silent it is then.

<Snipped quote> From the way I'm reading the description of her perception augmentation, it sounds similar to Hinata Hyuga's genetic ability in Naruto, where she has a full awareness of everything around her but with the additional option of focusing her senses in order to extend the range of her ability upto 10km in a certain direction. By using the ThirdEyes Anya does something similar, but unlike Hinata, who could just stand on top of a building scanning everything for 10km around her, Anya would have to find some way to deploy her devices to a location before detecting what was there.
This raises a couple of questions for me.
Does a ThirdEye need to be manually activated by pulling the pin, or could it be activated from a remote location after it had been placed somewhere earlier?
Can the ThirdEye be fired from her rifle, allowing Anya to deploy them at a considerable distance? If deployed in this manner, would the pin be removed as the device was fired, or could it be activated only after reaching its target (or somehow being intercepted)?
If they can be deployed in this way, Anya would take on similar skills to Saito, the sniper from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, whose cybernetic targeting eye is able to be linked to satellite systems giving him 'perfect' aiming capabilities. Unless the feed is hacked and the target knows he's aiming at them, allowing them to avoid his shots as he makes them (as seen in the first season's second episode Bōsō no Shōmei TESTATION.)
Yeah, my original idea was for it to be a bullet, so she could fire it from her rifle, but I thought that it would be too OP, wouldn't it? Currently the Third Eye needs to be manually deployed, either by Anya herself or by someone else. After someone pulls the pin, its already activated.
Maybe it would also be interesting to make it also a bullet type. Thinking about it, both would have different applications. The device would be good for mapping closed areas where Anya doesn't have a direct line of sight. Such as buildings & etc. For that, Anya would need to go there scout the place herself, or send someone to do it.
The bullets would be faster and easier to deploy, but there are obvious drawbacks to them, drawbacks that actually prevent them from being op... Well... even though Anya's rifle is silenced, people nearby can still hear as the bullet hits the ground/wall/etc. or see the obvious hole on it. That would prevent her to simply just shoot it wherever she wants and create a huge field where she has a 'perfect aim'.
Now the big question is: Would it be fair for the bullet type and the device to have exactly the same range and drawbacks?
The explosives are really harmless. If it gets detonated while you hold one, the max that it will cause its probably small bruises... nothing serious.
About the hum, I was thinking in making it audible... but what are your thoughts on the ThirdEye as it is right now?
15m maybe its an ok size, since its small and Anya can carry a considerable amount of those with her (if I had to give numbers... I would say around 25-30. since they can be 'stacked' on top of one another, taking basically the same space an AR mag would.)
About the hum, 15m should also mean that if she wanted to have a good 'information net', she would have to spread a good number of those on a building.
All in all, its range is what will dictate if its too strong or too weak. What do you think?
Anya can replicate it with enough materials. Since its not an overly complex device, it doesn't require that much in terms of raw materials. And with enough understanding (aka, if someone gets their hands in one of those and reverse engineer it) they can replicate it as well.
The thing is that it is only useful to those with the same augment as Anya. To everyone else, it only works as a sub-optimal, localized signal repeater.
PS: added another small drawback to the Third Eye, and now it has only 15m range.
Considering making the low hum audible to everyone if one pays enough attention, so the device is easier to find (well... they'll know that its something strange the second they see it... lol)
Bast could just activate his card on the carriage right now, but at that moment, he was really interested on Lord Barensia. He seemed to be quite a good man for what he saw until that moment. Eilidh's presence there only made things even more interesting. Unlike the other day, Eilidh was sober. Her steely stare when she shook Bast's hands and her composed posture were certainly fitting of a centaur knight. Lord Barensia's expression and tone of voice when he saw Eilidh were certainly... intriguing... Surely worthy of investigating. But the biggest surprise was yet to come... Lord Barensia's next line would open a big mischievous smile on Bast's face...
"Are... you two together? As in, 'together'?" Lord Barensia asked.
Immediately after that, Eilidh's posture and composure were utterly and completely shattered, as the centaur woman replied to the man, flustered and noticeably redder than normal.
"And here I thought that I had a chance... She rejected me without even a second thought!" Bast said, putting his hand over his chest making a pained expression, followed by a hearty laugh.
"Women are surely hard to understand, don't you agree, Mr. Barensia?" He said, with a wink to the man.
"Anyways, leaving my wounded heart aside... Yes, I've heard quite a few things about the Barensia... Including the fact that you are very influential around this town." Bast said, taking another sip of his tea.
"Regarding what I wanted to talk, other than your magnificent manor, which I'm quite interested to know who built it, I wanted just to have a nice talk. As I said before to your guards, having good contacts is never enough." Bast continued, smiling.
"That said, ask me anything you want, and I shall answer you. Of course, I will take the same approach!" Bast said laughing.
"Well, firstly, as a rather personal question... Are you familiar with the names Lord Araghast and Lord Joshua? If so, what are your feelings towards them. And... If you allow me, as a side question... What are your feelings about Demi-Humans in general?" Bast asked, carefully watching Lord Barensia's reactions.
Also, I don't really have many ideas of the Districts, but I want to get my CS approved, soo I'm choosing one on random LOL
PS2: Did some small changes and added a very interesting device to Anya's CS (Thanks to @Genni voting for her ) that will allow her to better fulfill a supporting role when in a mission together with a team.
And... I'm still uncertain on which one to use LOL

Even though they try to tell otherwise, don't let their sweet lies convince you. Ethics and morals often don't apply to those who have power...
Anya is an orphan. She was sold by her family to Korporat18. Raised since she was young on a training facility, she didn't have time to have emotions. After all, if she wasn't good enough, she would be discarded, just like the others who couldn't take the facility's strict training. They weren't even considered as living beings. They were only tools, to be used until they break, and then discarded.
With 8 years, Anya was deemed 'good enough', and a worthy individual to be augmented. Her feelings or opinions about that didn't matter. She never had a choice. After a exhaustive and extensive surgery, her body was completely different that it was. After that, her training got even worse. She was expected nothing other than excellence. As she grew older, surgeries became common to her, as her body and skills grew, new augmentations were installed.
Years passed, and Anya was selected together with a small number of other soldiers coming from the same training facility to be infiltrators. Every single one of them knew what that meant. Even though only the best could be infiltrators, it was basically a death sentence. They were the ones to go beneath enemy lines in order to obtain information. If that wasn't dangerous enough, they knew too much to be captured by Korporat18's enemies or to stay alive after they are deemed 'inefficient'. Implanted with a small explosive chip on their brains, the second they were captured they would be dead. They all knew that, but did they care? No. Why would they? That was everything they had. They knew their places, they were tools.
As the tension between EuroCorp and Korporat18 grew, Anya's job only got more dangerous. Peace agreements meant nothing to them. Under the apparent peace, under that peace agreement, both parties were still in war.
Knowledge, sometimes can be even deadlier than the most destructive weapons. And that was something that both EuroCorp and Korporat18 knew very well. By depriving their enemies from information, they would gain an edge. As such, there was an unending effort by both parties to send spies to the other and to find and kill the enemy spies.
In one mission, Anya was in EuroCorp territory, following orders to infiltrate a base and hack their main computer. It shouldn't be that much of a problem, since it was a small base. But they never expected that they would be ambushed...
The second they got inside the base, they were greeted with heavy gunfire. It was heavily guarded, and they knew that they were there. It was a massacre. Nothing could be done. Anya watched, hopeless, as her squad was wiped, in a bloody massacre. Their bodies pierced by bullets and energy projectiles, as their bodies fell on the ground, lifeless.
Even those who tried to fight back, getting behind cover couldn't save themselves, as they fell on the ground, blood getting out from their ears, eyes, mouths and noses as the explosive chip destroyed their brains. Fortunately, or unfortunately, an energy projectiles, deflected by a metal wall, hit Anya on her neck, sending an almost lethal wave of energy through her brain and body, destroying the chip before it could kill her.
Deemed dead by both Korporat18 and EuroCorp, she was thrown on a common trench together with her old squad in the border of Russia and Europe, she awoke amidst the dead, cold and rotting corpses of the closest thing she had to friends. Terrified, wounded and in shock, Anya crawled out of the mountain of corpses, there was only one thing on Anya's shattered mind: survive.

» EMXRAD Anti-material rifle

» "Third Eye"
Made specifically to be used with the Neuro-sensorial Augmentation - Perception augmentation, when activated by pulling the small pin on top of it, this small device starts to spin, emitting a very low frequency hum (only audible by those using an advanced hearing augmentation). In a 15m radius around the device, it creates the same 'safe zone' that the augmented user has. Inside this zone, the user has the same type of 'augmented perception' that it would have if it was there right now. The Third Eye is also equipped with a small thermal charge, to destroy the device if anything goes wrong, or when the user completes its mission. It can be used either in the morning device or in a 'bullet type', to be fired by her rifle. The drawbacks of the bullet type is that it has only a limited range and it last for about 20 minutes before it runs out of battery and the thermal charge goes off.
- If an experienced hacker gets his hands on it while active, it can be used to pinpoint the user's location, and to disable the Third Eyes currently deployed temporarily. It would take around 5-8 minutes to the user to reestablish the connection with all the Third Eyes currently deployed. - The device type needs to be manually activated and placed. - Unlike the augment, it is vulnerable to active jamming devices, EMPs (EMPs grenades would disable the device for about 10 to 15 minutes, and continuous EMP devices would function similarly as an active jammer) and cloaking devices, allowing those cloaked by the jammer device to be basically 'invisible' while inside the Third Eye's effective radius.

Necessary augmentations for her to fulfill her role of infiltrator and sniper.
» Neuro-sensorial Augmentation - Perception
A very delicate and expensive surgery, it gives the user enhanced spatial perception, eyesight and the ability to process and calculate information faster, greatly improving its reaction time and making it way easier to calculate information such as distance, to make the perfect shot. Other than its offensive use, this augmentation also gives the user basically 360° perception, creating a 'safe zone' in a small area (30m) around the user where it's aware of any human, AI or android inside this area and aware of its movements. Due to numerous reasons, mainly due to it's high cost, extremely invasive surgery, users of this particular augmentation are rather rare.
» Subdermal electromagnetic pads
Incredibly powerful, subdermal energy pads on the user's hands and feet. It allows the user to climb any surface thanks to its high powered electro-magnetic pulses.
» Infiltrator class full body modification
Full body modification. The infiltrator class modification replace the user's bones with lightweight, synthetic ones and replaces its muscles with stronger, artificial ones, in order to maximize their effectiveness. While the weight reduction can prove to be a big disadvantage in CQC, it is invaluable for scouts and snipers, which need utmost silence and agility in order to infiltrate dangerous areas. One side effect of the bone replacement is that the user's movements become much smoother and completely silent as the carbon alloy reduces friction on the joints. Due to this side effect, the user needs to basically relearn how to walk and move its limbs again, requiring a full rehabilitation after the soldier is successfully modified.

Natalia was originally born into a pretty wealthy family. Without having to care about anything really, she enjoyed her youth dedicating her life to her love to music. Going to concerts practicing, attending to high society parties and events... Everything was good, until she start loosing her hearing. Music was everything to her and her parents didn't had enough time to care about her problems.
After falling into desperation, Natalia gathered all the money she could gather from her concerts and allowance from her parents in order to hopefully, fix her hearing. Resorting to the black market, she found her first Augmentation. The B.A.T-02 Hearing augmentation. It worked, albeit too well. That augmentation wasn't suited as a simple thing, to be used by normal civilians. Natalia didn't know at the time, but it had multiple military uses...
Reaching the adolescence, Natalia's hate towards her never present parents reached it's pinnacle. Abandoning the classical music that her parents liked so much, Natalia began to go to races and nightclubs, using her musicals talents to become a famous DJ, especially due to her age, looks and obviously, her wealthy family.
But things weren't all that ok. Even though she was seen as the black sheep of the Zima family, she was still from a very wealthy family. And everyone knows that the world spins around money. Be it bloody money or honest money, it didn't matter. Money was money. And what better way to blackmail someone then taking out what they valued the most. To most families, it was their children, it didn't matter how rebellious they were. Natalia was marked, and she would soon realize that fact. After being kidnapped, her captors cut both her hands and feet, sending them to her family in order to blackmail them. After they were successful, they simply threw Natalia on the streets, wounded and bleeding. By sheer luck, Natalia survived, but that experience would change her life completely...
The years passed, and Natalia found something as good as music to her. After multiple augments and multiple contracts, she was faster, stronger, deadlier... She wasn't someone to be messed with anymore. Diving deeper and deeper into the dark side of the corporate world as an information broker, her goals weren't that superficial as money. She wanted blood. She never forgot what was done with her. She wanted those who were responsible for that, she wanted all those who would do such things with an innocent girl...

» B.A.T-02 Hearing Augmentation
A very delicate surgery, it gives the user greatly enhanced hearing capabilities, tonte point that the user is able to use echolocation. In order to make full use of this implant's capabilities, two extensions to better capture the sounds are added to the user's skull, resembling bat ears, made of a material resembling skin. These artificial ears function exactly like normal ears, with small artificial muscles, allowing an 360° movement range, again, similar as a normal bat. In order to connect them with the brain, it uses the auditory canals, covering the user's ears with a dome, and connecting the artificial bat ears directly to the brain. Due to many reasons, mainly due to it requiring an extremely invasive surgery and the fact that it can be a double edged sword, users of this particular augmentation are rather rare.
» Cybernetic hands and feet
These artificial hands and feet are specially made for combat. Durable, strong and deadly, with sharp talons and claws, they can inflict heavy damage on both humans and androids by using strong electrical currents running through the talons and claws ends, making them able to cut through even the thickest platings given enough time. Other than just combat, these claws also allows the user to easily climb even vertical walls.
» Stalker full chassis modification
Full body modification. As the name suggests, this modification almost crosses the border between what is considered human and what isn't. Replacing both bones and muscles by low weight, high powered artificial variants, the user gains a massive boost in strength and agility. Low friction joints give the user smoother movements and the ability to move in complete silence. As an unique addition to the Stalker chassis, it includes an adaptive cloaking device.

After a exhaustive and extensive surgery, her body was completely different that it was. After that, her training got even worse. She was expected nothing other than excellence. As she grew older, surgeries became common to her, as her body and skills grew, new augmentations were installed.
Years passed, and Anya was selected together with a small number of other soldiers coming from the same training facility to be infiltrators. Every single one of them knew what that meant. Even though only the best could be infiltrators, it was basically a death sentence. They were the ones to go beneath enemy lines in order to obtain information. If that wasn't dangerous enough, they knew too much to be captured by Korporat18's enemies or to stay alive after they are deemed 'inefficient'. Implanted with a small explosive chip on Thursday brains, the second they were captured they would be dead. They all knew that, but did they care? No. Why would they? That was everything they had. They knew their places, they were tools.
As the tension between EuroCorp and Korporat18 grew, Anya's job only got more dangerous. Peace agreements meant nothing to them. Under the apparent peace, under that peace agreement, both parties were still in war.
Knowledge, sometimes can be even deadlier than the most destructive weapons. And that was something that both EuroCorp and Korporat18 knew very well. By depriving their enemies from information, they would gain an edge. As such, there was an unending effort by both parties to send spies to the other and to find and kill the enemy spies.
In one mission, Anya was in EuroCorp territory, following orders to infiltrate a base and hack their main computer. It shouldn't be that much of a problem, since it was a small base. But they never expected that they would be ambushed...
The second they got inside the base, they were greeted with heavy gunfire. It was heavily guarded, and they knew that they were there. It was a massacre. Nothing could be done. Anya watched, hopeless, as her squad was wiped, in a bloody massacre. Their bodies pierced by bullets and energy projectiles, as their bodies fell on the ground, lifeless.
Even those who tried to fight back, getting behind cover couldn't save themselves, as they fell on the ground, blood getting out from their ears, eyes, mouths and noses as the explosive chip destroyed their brains. Fortunately, or unfortunately, an energy projectiles, deflected by a metal wall, hit Anya on her neck, sending an almost lethal wave of energy through her brain and body, destroying the chip before it could kill her.
Deemed dead by both Korporat18 and EuroCorp, she was thrown on a common trench together with her old squad in the border of Russia and Europe, she awoke amidst the dead, cold and rotting corpses of the closest thing she had to friends. Terrified, wounded and in shock, Anya crawled out of the mountain of corpses, there was only one thing on Anya's shattered mind: survive.

Necessary augmentations for her to fulfill her role of infiltrator and sniper.
» Neuro-sensorial Augmentation - Hearing
A very delicate and expensive surgery, it gives the user enhanced spatial perception, eyesight and the ability to process and calculate information faster, greatly improving its reaction time and making it way easier to calculate informations such as distance, to make the perfect shot. Other than its offensive use, this augmentation also gices the user basically 360° perception, creating a 'safe zone' in a small area (30m) around the user where it's aware of any human, AI or android inside this area. This 'safe zone' can only be used if the user is not moving. Due to numerous reasons, mainly due to it's high cost, extremely invasive surgery, users of this particular augmentation are rather rare.
» Subdermal electromagnetic pads
Incredibly powerful, subdermal energy pads on the user's hands and feet. It allows the user to climb any surface thanks to its high powered electro-magnetic pulses.
» Infiltrator class full body modification
Full body modification. The infiltrator class modification replace the user's bones with lightweight, synthetic ones and replaces its muscles with stronger, artificial ones, in order to maximize their effectiveness. While the weight reduction can prove to be a big disadvantage in CQC, it is invaluable for scouts and snipers, which need utmost silence and agility in order to infiltrate dangerous areas. One side effect of the bone replacement is that the user's movements become much smoother as the carbon alloy reduces friction on the joints. Due to this side effect, the user needs to basically relearn how to walk and move its limbs again, requiring a full rehabilitation after the soldier is successfully modified.

Her surname fits her incredibly well. Zima, as in winter A hair as white as the moon and with a skin as white as the snow, people often say she was just a step away from albinism when she was born. With a well developed body, she is quite the eyecandy. Her fondness for revealing clothes only make it even more apparent. She would be perfect, only if it wasn't for her cybernetics.
But again... There are some who only find her even more attractive thanks to it.

Loving a good talk, if you're able to draw her attention so she stops listening to her music, you'll find a very intelligent and interesting woman, showing that her body isn't the only interesting thing about her.
But is not everyone that gets to see that intelligent and interesting side of Natalia. The side that others usually see is the logical, cunning and mischievous woman. With a tongue as sharp as her cybernetic claws, she very often finds a way to get that what she wants. Those who tried to mess with her often found themselves in a very bad situation.
If you manage to make her open herself to you, you'll find that she is a very affectionate woman. A bit possessive and jealous with her boyfriends, but still, very affectionate.

𝙱𝚒𝚘:
Natalia was originally born into a pretty wealthy family. Without having to care about anything really, she enjoyed her youth dedicating her life to her love to music. Going to concerts practicing, attending to high society parties and events... Everything was good, until she start loosing her hearing. Music was everything to her and her parents didn't had enough time to care about her problems.
After falling into desperation, Natalia gathered all the money she could gather from her concerts and allowance from her parents in order to hopefully, fix her hearing. Resorting to the black market, she found her first Augmentation. The B.A.T-02 Hearing augmentation. It worked, albeit too well. That augmentation wasn't suited as a simple thing, to be used by normal civilians. Natalia didn't know at the time, but it had multiple military uses...
Reaching the adolescence, Natalia's hate towards her never present parents reached it's pinnacle. Abandoning the classical music that her parents liked so much, Natalia began to go to races and nightclubs, using her musicals talents to become a famous DJ, especially due to her age, looks and obviously, her wealthy family.
But things weren't all that ok. Even though she was seen as the black sheep of the Zima family, she was still from a very wealthy family. And everyone knows that the world spins around money. Be it bloody money or honest money, it didn't matter. Money was money. And what better way to blackmail someone then taking out what they valued the most. To most families, it was their children, it didn't matter how rebellious they were. Natalia was marked, and she would soon realize that fact. After being kidnapped, her captors cut both her hands and feet, sending them to her family in order to blackmail them. After they were successful, they simply threw Natalia on the streets, wounded and bleeding. By sheer luck, Natalia survived, but that experience would change her life completely...
The years passed, and Natalia found something as good as music to her. After multiple augments and multiple contracts, she was faster, stronger, deadlier... She wasn't someone to be messed with anymore. Diving deeper and deeper into the dark side of the corporate world as an information broker, her goals weren't that superficial as money. She wanted blood. She never forgot what was done with her. She wanted those who were responsible for that, she wanted all those who would do such things with an innocent girl...

𝙲𝚢𝚋𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚎𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚜:
When Natalia saw herself slowly loosing her hearing, she decided to make her first modification. After she was almost killed by a hitman, she got the other ones.
» B.A.T-02 Hearing Augmentation
A very delicate surgery, it gives the user greatly enhanced hearing capabilities, tonte point that the user is able to use echolocation. In order to make full use of this implant's capabilities, two extensions to better capture the sounds are added to the user's skull, resembling bat ears, made of a material resembling skin. These artificial ears function exactly like normal ears, with small artificial muscles, allowing an 360° movement range, again, similar as a normal bat. In order to connect them with the brain, it uses the auditory canals, covering the user's ears with a dome, and connecting the artificial bat ears directly to the brain. Due to many reasons, mainly due to it requiring an extremely invasive surgery and the fact that it can be a double edged sword, users of this particular augmentation are rather rare.
» Cybernetic hands and feet
These artificial hands and feet are specially made for combat. Durable, strong and deadly, with sharp talons and claws, they can inflict heavy damage on both humans and androids by using strong electrical currents running through the talons and claws ends, making them able to cut through even the thickest platings given enough time. Other than just combat, these claws also allows the user to easily climb even vertical walls.
» Stalker full chassis modification
Full body modification. As the name suggests, this modification almost crosses the border between what is considered human and what isn't. Replacing both bones and muscles by low weight, high powered artificial variants, the user gains a massive boost in strength and agility. Low friction joints give the user smoother movements and the ability to move in complete silence. As an unique addition to the Stalker chassis, it includes an adaptative cloaking device (To be discussed with GMs)

Their will and endless greed allows them to grow and ascend past other creatures
But their mortality denies them divinity
It's a delightful purgatory between being Fallen and being Divine"
