@tex@Wind Wild"Something keeping you?"BrianEbenezer shook his head as Brian spoke. The little nervous man kept up surprisingly well. Ebenezer knew his own propensity to walk at a clip slightly faster than brisk. 

"No." Ebenezer said as he cast one last look around. "Nothing at all."

And with that the two were moving again. This time Brian was off on the lead, obviously antsy to not be late. Not that they'd leave with Ebenezer. Not after all they went to get him to agree to this harebrained mission. There was something else going on. Ebenezer knew this for a fact. And he'd find out. He just hoped it was before he died. Or worse.

As the city changed, Ebenezer knew they were nearing the appointed gate. He feet slowed as he took in the massive vehicle near the gate. He could see the sheep from earlier crowded around it. His stomach did a little flip. Did they honestly expect them to ride in that? Together? All close and near and with no rapid exists? When he had said yes, he hadn't expected to be confined in such close quarters.

He was sure some of his apprehension must have shown on his face. But Imp's hiss and sharp claws jolted him back to the matter at hand.

"It appears we're fashionably late." He told Brian. Not to speak, but to cover his hesitation. "Compose yourself. No need to be panting and askew." Taking his own advice Ebenezer adjusted his jacket and scarf and gloves before continuing into the mass that was his new team.

Ace Machina
28 | 2038-5-14 | 5'10"

Appearance - 
Ace stands at five foot ten. She is Cybered and the majority of her body is mechanical. Her cybernetic parts are top-notch. The best on the market. Most of them look just like human skin, until you touch them of course. Then you realize as you feel the cool sythetics, that it's not real. The only parts of Ace's body that are not cybernetic are her torso and her head. She does have ports installed into her brain so she can directly access the web. She also has her eyes augmented. 

Ace has a very unique style. She has short dyed silver hair. You can tell it's dyed because she leaves the roots black. The typical do for her hair is spiked, but on occasion she does leave it alone. In addition to the hair she also paints her face, unless she's going incognito. The colors us typically uses are white/silver and grey. She had green eyes, but can change them on a whim due to her augmentations. Most of the time they're blue. She also typically wears a pair of glasses, also blue, that care constantly connected to the internet and can also give her information. Such as range, wind speed, weather, people's bios (if on the web) etc. Only she can use them thanks to her implants. Anyone else they would just be normal shades. And she can directly effect what the glasses tell her by just thinking it. 

Most of the time Ace wears minimal clothing. Just because she prefers it that way. However when she does dress up she wears quite a bit. All of her clothing is designed to hide her cybernetic parts and make her look small. She likes people to underestimate her. Despite the look of her clothing, they are all custom made and very well crafted. Each outfit also doubles as armor.

Personality - 
Ace is a very loud, boisterous woman. She likes to talk and laugh and will do it whenever she feels like it. She is very much a head strong woman. She knows what she wants and how to get it. If someone gets in her way she'll pretty much go through them. She knows her own flaws and weaknesses and compensates accordingly so they don't drag her down. 

Ace made a decision in life to live it to the max. She wont slow down. Nor will she compromise on what she really wants. A one thing she wants is to not regret anything. No wasted opportunities. Be it something simple like trying a new food or something more complex like taking down a corporation from the inside. 

Despite this attitude she has, Ace is very meticulous. She likes to plan and know the outcome of something before she does it. (It might end badly, but she just might do it anyways depending on what it is) So even if something is dressed up in lights and bright colors, she wont be taken in by the wrapping. Her incessant need to know maps out everything in Ace's life. From her early years and far into the future. If Ace went to a doctor she's sure that her need to know might be some form of compulsion. But she's not a doctor type of gal.

Because of her background, Ace doesn't get close to people. She doesn't make friends and she sure as Hell doesn't have lovers. It leads people into thinking she's uncaring and she's okay with that. At least they'll keep their distance that way.

Biography/background - 
Ace is the very definition of reticent when it comes to her past. Which is a startling dichotomy to her normally exuberant personality. Most people assume she whores herself out to some rich muckety-muck because of her expensive augmentations, the Neurotop and the fancy clothes. And Ace is totally fine with them thinking that. In fact she rather prefers it.

Because the true is always stranger than fiction. Ace was born to the wealthy owners of Alter's Pharmaceuticals. A mega name in corporations and drugs. Her parents were CEOs, Jennifer and William Alterman. Their darling little girl was named Summer. She was a precocious little girl, always getting under foot. It was hard growing up because her parents were always busy with work.

Which meant little Summer was raised by a string of nannies and bodyguards. It was also difficult because the Nannies expected Summer to be a true lady. Prim, proper and aloof. Summer quickly got down the haughty part and being aloof. But she was never prim and proper. Instead she looked to the big and scary men and women around her and was entranced.

Summer's love affair for the bodyguards came to a head when someone tried to assassinate Summer when she was fourteen. Watching the bodyguards take down the assassin was like watching ballet. But more. Summer demanded to learn how to fight and how to protect herself. The Nannies refused. But the men and women guarding Summer agreed with the girl. She needed to know.

Over the years Summer learned how to be a proper heir. On the side she learned how to fight and how to kill. When she turned seventeen she learned that her parents were trying to enhance her through their own drugs. They had started off with genetic manipulation and went on with gene therapy. Summer learned this when she collapsed and had a seizure.

Angry and distraught, Summer demanded certain concessions from her parents. One of them was to be her own person and to no longer be the heir. Her parents refused. That night the girl named Summer hacked off her hair and vanished. She took on the name Ace and tried her best to stay vanished. She had taken as much money as she could from the company. She also took Neurotop and a few other extremely expensive drugs from the company. This allowed her to stay under their radar because she could sell the drugs and not use the cash until she could get it cleaned. All in All, her disappearing act hadn't been spontaneous, but planned meticulously over a long period of time. The ease of which she pulled it off was proof of that.

Ace knows her parents are looking for her and that they wont give her up. They were very jealous people and she was a walking test. Whatever they had done to her they wanted back badly. Wanted her under their thumbs. But Ace was never going back. And in order to mess with herself as much as she could, in hopes that it would make her undesirable to her parents, she started augmenting herself. At this point she also hoarded the rest of the Neurotop for herself, no longer selling any of it. Which proved fortuitous as she added more and more augmentations onto herself. 

When her supply started to run low, she began to buy more to keep herself a nice stock pile. As her cash flow slowed, she began to take on more risky jobs, unfortunately making a name for herself in the Diver's world. At one point she had a minimal stash of Neurotop and in order to preserve it she did a very stupid and daring thing. She took less. As she did she learned that she didn't need Neurotop as much as other people did. If she needed it at all. But not willing to take a chance, she still took it. Just at more minimal amounts to have to spend less. At this moment Ace isn't quite hurting for cash or Neurotop, but it's a close thing if she ever becomes unemployed.

One day she hopes that her parents will give up on her and she'll live Happily Ever After. But that will never come and she'll never get close to anyone lest they be used against her.

Weapon(s) - 
Ace only carries one weapon in open view. That is a Pulsed energy projectile or PEP Gun. The PEP gun created a small lazer pulse to create a tiny amount of exploding plasma. Enough to knock a person off their feet and give them some painful, excruciating nerve damage.

When people find out she has weapons augmented into her body, they're confused as to why she carries a gun. But the reasoning is simple. If people think she's disarmed after the gun is taken away, they wont keep looking for non-obvious weapons. Because people are simple that way. They only see what they expect to see.
She carried what she dubbed the Force Stick or FS for short. She has two of them, but only carries one at a time. It is able to collapse and extend out to a foot and a half. The main function of the FS is it's electrocution mode. Touch it to an object and it'll get the shock of it's life. Those that are augmented are more susceptible, unless they've augmented against electric surges. The charge of the FS is used after one use. However it's very easy to recharge, just shake, spin, swing, etc the FS and it'll generate another charge. The longer you move it before using it, the better the charge. She usually keeps her FS in one of her legs.

Skillset -
Ace's specialty is being a problem solver. With her in depth knowledge of how corporations work and her unique augmentations, she can tackle most any problem and find a solution. It might not be pretty, but they don't call her a miracle worker, she's their Ace in a hole.

Augmentations - 
All of Ace's augmentations were specially made just for her by her mechanic. There are no other parts just like hers. Which can be a downfall if she needs to make a hasty repairs. Nothing ever works quite right. As such none of her parts are named, or even labelled to identify them.

Arms: Both of Ace's arms are cybernetic. Her left shoulder is not completely mechanical. But retains bones and muscles, supported by metal to retain full use of her left arm. Her right shoulder is completely replaced, including the shoulder blade and collarbone. Both arms have hidden compartments where Ace can store things. Because they are cybernetic they far exceed normal human arm capacities. (Lifting, pulling, hitting, etc)

The right arm can rearrange itself into a Electrolaser Rifle. The Rifle creates a Laser-induced plasma channel by firing a very hot laser into the air and ionize the air to make it into plasma. Which is a very fast process. Mere nanoseconds after firing, the plasma basically turns into lightning and hits whatever you were firing at.

The right arm has it's own separate power source to keep from over tasking her other augmentations when using the weapon. It is limited to only one charge which is one shot, so Ace can't use it like a sub machine gun. Because of the heat generated by the rifle there is a safety built in. After one shot the arm will disengage the weapon and reform into her normal arm. At which point the power cell will shut off to conserve energy. The arm would at this point use the secondary power source, Ace's natural biol-electrical charge to remain functional. It is possible to use a second shoot, and override the safety, but at the cost of losing the arm. It would just be a hunk of metal after that which might be vaguely arm shaped. However once the cool down is finished, it's ready to fire again.

Ace's left arm can expand into what she calls Fight Mode. It deploys two blocks out of the elbow, one up and one down, to form a sort of shield. A short blade will also come from the fist.

Legs: Ace's legs are augmented from the hips down. They're made specifically for speed and force. She can jump higher, run faster, hit harder, etc. Both legs have hidden compartments that can contain weapons or data. Both legs are reinforced for harder hitting and for being able to take hits. Her basic fighting style uses her legs rather than knives or her FS. 

Eyes: Ace's eyes have been replaced by cybernetic ones. They allow her to see things in different ways. E.G. Thermal Imaging, Infrared, and low light. They also work directly with her special glasses in order to display information vital for a mission in a sort of heads up display. Her eyes can also change color at will.

Neural Implants: Ace has more implants than she cares to count. Some of them are for the internet, other are for her cybernetic limbs, and others still are for her eyes and shades. 

Because of all of Ace's augmentations she takes Neurotop regularly to keep from snapping. (See Bio for more information on that though.)
