It's haaaard to find a good picture of good looking exo-armor that at least looks sort of Japanese inspired.

 ___________________________________________ T O M O E G O Z E N "ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀᴅ ᴅᴏɢ ᴏꜰ ᴛᴀɪꜱʜɪ" 30 | ♀ | R O N I N ᴏʀɪɢɪɴ Saika Unions - Mining colony YB-093 [INACTIVE] ꜰᴏʀᴍᴇʀ ꜰᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Date Dragons ꜱᴋɪʟʟꜱ ✾ Primary: Dual wielding ✾ Secondary: Ambidexterity ✾ Secondary: Endurance ᴇqᴜɪᴘᴍᴇɴᴛ ❀ ᴡᴇᴀᴘᴏɴꜱ ✾ Maramusa Feline SR-3 10mm HP/AP/HPT While the onset of RAIS has seen firearms fall out of favor, there is still a case to be made for a good firearm. The Feline SR-3 is a machine pistol that spits out lead at an astonishing rate. Designed to act as a force-multiplier or when precise aiming isn't desired, it's a small, compact gun that can quickly fill a room with lead. Tomoe keeps her pistol locked to her hip using a magnetic holster, ensure quick weapon switching. ✾ Monoblade Katana & Wakizashi & Tanto Used in her fighting style, Tomoe employs a standard, single edged Monoblade Katana and Wakizashi. They are respectively 60 and 30 cm in length. Both are worn at the hip in standard daishō style. The Tanto is merely a back-up weapon and is worn horizontally across her lower back. It's blade is 15 cm in length. Each sword and scabbard is entirely black, including the blades; nothing bearing any distinctive markings. | ᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀᴀɴᴄᴇ Tomoe stands at an average 1.7m, though her exo-suit pushes her well above 2.2m. Her eyes are a dark brown, glimmering with a soft redness if the light catches it at the right angle. Her body always seems to be tensed, her skin marred with years of abuse and combat; with plenty of scars that each holds a tale. While not one to show off skin eagerly, her body is built for combat; featuring sleek but defined muscles. Thanks to her parent's genetic disposition towards weak lungs due to coming from a mining lineage, her lungs are weak and require help in the form of respirators. While she can perform without the device, it will severely impair her performance. ꜰɪɢʜᴛɪɴɢ ꜱᴛʏʟᴇ Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu (兵法二天一流 - Two Heavens, One School) Employing both her Katana and Wakizashi at once, Tomoe can deliver a staggering amount of attacks in just a short time; effectively allowing her to overwhelm an opponent's defenses. While mostly used as an aggressive form of attack, designed to quickly fell an opponent; the use of both swords also opens up some surprising disarming techniques, such as catching an opponent's blade between crossed swords. It's not uncommon for Tomoe to drop a sword in the midst of battle to switch to a secondary if needed, such as a firearm or her Tanto, as this often throws opponents off guard. ᴍᴏᴛɪᴠᴀᴛɪᴏɴ Tomoe is a wild dog, seeking nothing but bloody revenge on the Date Dragon's for abandoning her and her men; while also seeking blood from Nobuzai for causing her abandonment in the first place. And while not openly admitting it, she yearns for a leash to hold her back once more; to direct her anger. ʜɪꜱᴛᴏʀʏ Tomoe Gozen was born to a boring miner couple, who lived on a boring mining colony in some boring part of space. So unimportant, the moon didn't even have an official name other than it's scientific designation. Tomoe was always a boisterous child, always running off, getting into fights with the few other children. With no prospect of getting off the barren rock, Tomoe was all but destined to follow her parent's footsteps and become a miner as well. To die an ungrateful death on an unnamed rock, working for a corporation who didnt even know her name. The galaxy however had different plans for the wild child. At age 7, the Date Dragon's landed on the small moon. A rivaling company had gotten wind of the remote mining colony and saw fit to hire the mercs to purge the facility. The armored soldiers worked through the facility with ruthless efficiency, finding only minor resistance from the few under-trained guards acting as security. Tomoe had kept hidden in the rafters, watching in horror and anger as the soldiers cut down the defenseless civilians. Overcome with anger, the small child launched herself at a soldier; attacking the man like a wild dog. The man in question happened to be the leading commander, Taishi Maruhito. A veteran in the field, not to mention outfitted in an exo-suit, Tomoe was of course no match whatsoever for the man. Beating her down and breaking her arm in the process, the accompanying soldiers were about to sever the girl's head; when Taishi ordered them to stand down. He joked how even though she was but a child, she had shown more ferocity than most of his own men, and ordered her to be taken alive. On board the Date's ship, the girl was offered a simple choice. Either she was to be sold to the next mining colony as slave labor, or she'd join the Date Dragon's. Having no intention on rotting away on some distant rock, Tomoe took the only offer she could take and was taken under the tutelage of Taishi. The man was ruthless and strict. It mattered little that Tomoe was merely 7 at the time, a girl or had a debilitating condition. She was grilled and trained like any other of the men and received the same punishment for failing to life up to expectations. For years she was the Date's kicking dog, treated as little more than amusement for the men. Few understood why Taishi had brought the girl onboard, but he knew, he saw a fiery temper in her eyes that begged to be tamed. When puberty finally hit, it hit hard. With her muscles finally developing, Tomoe pushed past most men and violently fought back against anybody who pushed her buttons in the wrong way. It wasnt long before the girl had garnered quite the following among the ranks of the Date Dragon's. Known simply as "the mad dog of Taishi" she was considered a rising star among the fresh recruits. Years of abuse had made her unflinching in the eyes of danger and pain, pushing her past limits most men didnt dare to tread past. Within years she had command of a small squad of devout men. A sledgehammer the Date commanders eagerly used when trying to break down entrenched forces. Employing aggressive and unconventional tactics, Tomoe fit right into the Date doctrine of striking fast and hard. Things took a hard turn when she was deployed on what was supposed to be a milk-run. A small mining colony, not unlike the one she hailed from, had to be pacified. Resistance was supposed to be low, with merely some engineers and lightly armed peacekeepers. What actually happened, was that her team was ambushed by a regiment of Nobuzai samurai. Their ship had lain in wait on a nearby asteroid. Outgunned and outnumbered, Tomoe desperately called for reinforcements from the orbiting ship. Taishi Murahito saw things differently. Cutting his losses, the ship sped away before the Nobuzai cruiser could close the distance; leaving Tomoe and her rapidly dwindling forces stranded on the barren rock. Overwhelmed by the Nobuzai, Tomoe was forced to surrender. Not because she wanted to survive, she was more than willing to die fighting, but because Nobuzai had specific orders to take the commanding unit alive. Tomoe was taken onto the Nobuzai cruiser for interrogation. The Nobuzai were obviously hoping to grill her for information pertaining to the Date's whereabouts and plans. The girl simply laughed at their pathetic excuses of torture. Years of abuse at the hands of her own faction had left her dangerously close to psychotic. Still, the Nobuzai were nothing if not patient. After all, every man, woman and child had their breaking point. Tomoe broke free before she reached that point. Emaciated by weeks of detention, torture and horrid food, the bonds that once gripped her so tightly had gotten loose enough for her to dislocate a wrist and slip free. Overwhelming her guard with a ferocity born out of anger, she quietly made her way through the ship's interior. By the time the alarms rang, she had already made her way to the armory; using the guard's ID to open the doors and arm herself with one of the Nobuzai's own exo-suits. Any veteran can attest that an Exo-suit rampaging through a ship can be a terrifying thing to behold. Unable to properly arm themselves in the armory, the Nobuzai soldiers proved little challenge for the girl. Leaving the ship a bloodied spacehulk, Tomoe spirited away on one of the dropships; though not before scuttling the exo-suit inside the engine room and leaving the cruiser adrift in space. Using the auto-pilot to set a course to the planet of New Niigata, Tomoe planned on hunting down Taishi Murahito for leaving her and her men for dead; as well as any Nobuzai she would come across... Her escape and rampage would no doubt put her on some wanted list. |
