PERSONALITY TRAITS
BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
Yeong-Suk stands at a quite unimpressive 5'3'', slightly above average for her home country of North Korea, but much smaller than the average nomad. Her straight, black hair grows to her shoulders, with bangs covering her right eye, which has been replaced with a cybernetic optic designed to see in ki. Her natural, left eye is light brown. Yeong-Suk has an athletic build, fitting for her years of training in the Korean People's Army, which helps migrate how embarrassingly small she is.
As an officer of the KPA, Yeong-Suk wears her dress uniform at almost all times (Major exception being when stealth or anonymity is needed). It is olive green, with a matching hat and tie. Her uniform also consists of a skirt, practicality disregarded by Yeong-Suk's superiors so they could emphasize her femininity in propaganda. She, however, was at least granted permission to wear men's shoes, as no one in their right mind could fight in heels. Completing her outfit is black gloves, same color as her shoes, mostly for security reasons than anything else (not wanting to leave fingerprints willy-nilly).

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
Chung Yeong-Suk was born on March 12th in Kaesong, North Korea, the first child of a family of industrial workers. Immediately disappointment, they tried again for a son, which resulted in her brother, Chung Jeong-Ho. Yeong-Suk's early childhood life was relatively normal; she went to school, played youth soccer, learned about the divinity of the ruling Kim family and how North Korea was Best Korea, and was part of the Youth Pioneer Corps. By all accounts, there was nothing remarkable about this North Korean girl compared to any other child.
However, when graduation came and went and the next generation of conscripts was admitted to the Korean People's Army, the government of North Korea was screening incoming recruits for their natural ki, a recent order from the Supreme Leader to create literal super agents for the rogue state. Perhaps due to ancestry from Yakcha, or perhaps just a simple fluke at birth, Yeong-Suk had a massive reserve of ki. Pulled away, she was given the option to volunteer for "special training" to unlock her ki and to become an enforcer for the Kims. In return, her family would be given, nice, cushy lodging in the nation's capital of Pyongyang, totally not there to hold Yeong-Suk hostage or anything in case something went wrong. Yeong-Suk readily accepted, mostly out of genuine patriotism, but also because she kind of realized she really didn't have a choice in the matter.
Brought to a classified military installation deep in the countryside, Yeong-Suk trained under the watchful eye of the military, honing her physical ability, technique in Taekwondo, and most importantly, learning how to use the ki she was so fortunate to be born with. When her skills in ki started to surpass anything the military was prepared for, they "persuaded" martial artists from the south and China to train her up further. Owing to her feet-based martial art, Yeong-Suk's trainers put a particular focus on trying to teach her to channel ki through her feet rather than her hands, a technique which she soon adopted almost, if not totally, excursively.
The training was brutal, designed to break her mentally just as much to bring out her absolute potential. The once innocent, sweet girl was replaced by what could almost be described as a machine. In fact, one of her eyes was even cybernetically replaced, in order to make her more potent as an assassin. Serving the state was the only thing on her mind; the only thing let into her mind, and willingly embraced. Her handlers rejoiced; they succeeded in creating the first superhuman agent for North Korea.
At age 24, she was let out of the facility she was trained in, the first time since entering in 18. She was handed a mission in Brazil. The cover story was to enter the tournament in Rio, and to bring glory to North Korea by winning it all. Her real mission, however, was to assassinate a target so embedded in the shadows, even she doesn't know their true identity...

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES
FIGHTING STYLE
SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES
SUPER MOVES
WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
Yeong-Suk was trained in the half-traditional, half-modern Korean martial art of 태권도 (Taekwondo), a fighting style which emphasizes agility and kicks. While Taekwondo is usually taught as a zoning martial art, using one's reach through legs to keep the opponent at bay, Yeong-Suk's small size makes that not a winning proposition. Instead, Yeong-Suk uses ki techniques to mirror this philosophy, using her feet to generate projectile attacks from a distance. After catching her opponent off guard, she can use her great agility to rush in with wild jump kicks, before forcing the opponent away and starting over. Alternatively, if she thinks the foe is weak enough, Yeong-Suk will skip the zoning altogether and go straight for the rushdown.
Defensively, there is much more emphasize on dodging hits rather than blocking. Even without ki, Yeon-Suk is fastfooted, and can easily bob and weave from far to close and vice versa. When she can't simply dodge an attack, she perfers to use her ki techniques to block rather than her physical body; she actually can not take getting hit all that well.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES
■ 천국의 눈/Cheongug-ui Nun
The "Eye of Heaven" was a cybernetic implant given to Yeong-Suk when she was selected by the government to become their ki assassin/agent, and was tech that was allegedly stolen from the Chinese without their knowledge. The Eye of Heaven is passively powered by Yeong-Suk's own ki, and confers the ability to observe ki. Living objects radiate blue energy; the more ki, the more brilliant the blue is. It also allows Yeong-Suk to see clearer at night; the ki of other objects will act as a very weak light source.
In combat, the only tangible benefit the cybernetic eye gives is that she can observe the ki of her opponent. This makes it harder to fool her with shapeshifting or creating non-living copies of oneself, since their ki signatures would not match up with the perceived reality.

■ 백사셋의 발/Baegsases-ui Bal
"Baeksaseum (A white deer known for it's speed)'s feet" is a technique where Yeong-Suk channels some of her ki into her feet, allowing her to move at speeds beyond her normal physical capability. Under the effects of this technique, she can run at speeds far faster than a human being should be able to go, allowing her to close or create distances rapidly, or perhaps sidestep away from an attack. It doesn't increase her reaction time, nor does it effect her ability to jump except for letting her build up momentum from running to jump further than what a human should be able to go.
■ 낫 킥/Nas Kig
The "Sickle kick" is the basic ranged ki attack of Yeong-Suk. Channeling energy to her feet, Yeong-Suk does a roundhouse kick in place, sending a wave of sickle-shaped ki barreling in the direction of her foe.
■ 지진 발생/Jijin Balsaeng
The "Earthquake Strike" is perhaps Yeong-Suk's most versatile attack. She pounds the ground with a ki-infused foot, causing a piece of the earth to dislodge itself and fly into the air. From there, she can either use the piece of earth to block an opponent's range attack (which will usually destroy the mound of dirt), or use her ki again to literally kick it towards the opponent.
■ 여왕 바지의 격노/Yeowang Baji-ui Gyeogno
Much like in her Jijin Balsaeng, "Queen Baji's Fury" (Queen Baji being the Korean Earth Goddess) begins with a channeled ki strike to the ground. Instead of lifting the earth up, it instead creates a fissure, causing jagged rocks to erupt quickly from where the fissure is. Rocks are reasonably sized, hard to jump over but easy enough for someone who could fly to dodge.
■ 만 킥 공격/Man Kig Gong-gyeog
In the "Ten Thousand Kick Attack", Yeong-Suk uses her ki to rapidly kick at speeds faster than the human eye. Each kick isn't much stronger than what a regular kick would be, but they add up very quickly. Due to the high cost of energy, Yeong-Suk can not use this technique for much longer than a few seconds before tiring out.
■ 천리마 킥/Chollima Kig]
The "Flying Horse Kick" is the most powerful of Yeong-Suk's attacks, and is basically a dramatic flying kick. When jumping, Yeong-Suk encases one of her feet in ki, and just lunges at her opponent. There is nothing too special she does beyond the ki, but it hurts like a truck when she makes contact. Can tire Yeong-Suk out easily, so she uses it sparingly.
SUPER MOVES
■ 여왕 바지의 복수/Yeowang Baji-ui Bogsu
"Queen Baji's Revenge" is, in simplistic terms, a souped up version of Queen Baji's Fury. Most of the attack is the same, but the rocks are much larger and travel more quickly than in the regular version of the attack. The rocks go far up enough that it could legitimately threaten hovering enemies.
■ 큰 천리마 킥/Keun Chollima Kig
Much like her previous super, The "Great Flying Horse Kick" is just a more powerful version of one her basic attacks, this time being the regular flying horse kick. Instead of encasing her foot in ki, Yeong-Suk instead covers her entire body in a glowing box of ki. More of a ram than a kick, Yeong-Suk flings her entire body at her opponent, being easily her most devastating non-lethal attack. While she is encased in ki, she is massively resistant to damage, but not completely invulnerable. WILL tire her out and drain most of her ki after using, leaving an opening if it misses.
■ 백두산권총/Baek Du San
Yeong-Suk whips out her Baek Du San and shoots to kill. Obviously a highly illegal move both in tournaments and with the law in general. Yeong-Suk only resorts to using her pistol when she needs someone to die now, and will not hesitate to use it immediately if she thinks she is otherwise outclassed. Prefers to not use it due to attracting unwanted attention.
WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
The major weakness of Yeong-Suk is her frailty. She can not take much punishment at all; a few good hits is all that it will take to knock her out. She can not get into any protracted slugfests, because she will lose at every trade due to said frailty.
Due to constantly training with people much weaker than her, Yeong-Suk also overestimates her own abilities. She also has very little experience fighing anyone with ki or magic, and doesn't know how to fight people of similar strength.

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
Lucie Bardot stands at an average 5'6'', with an athletic build to match her military training. Her light brown hair, which could almost be mistaken for grey, goes down to her shoulders, and compliments her actual grey eyes quite nicely. Her complexion is fair, white but not overly pale.
Lucie's typical outfit depends on context, but her everyday wear is a mix of her MAVERICK uniform on top of street clothes. She has a grey dress with black leggings, covered with her MAVERICK jacket. There is a box of ammo and grenades at her side, and a headset she wears to both communicate and receive orders. Her boots are styled to look a bit like oversized sneakers, and she wears kneepads over her leggings. To complete her outfit is a black bandana, worn as a scarf normally but pulled up in battle

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
A lot of her background is classified, and not freely available to the public. What is known is that she was born in Roche, Lower Normandy, a small suburb outside of Caen. Her father Matthieu was a veteran of the Gulf War, and her mother Elodie was an amateur boxer turned nomad with the nom de geurre of Bellonia. Lucie has an older sister, Genevieve, who would pursue an uneventful career in the French Navy. In high school, Lucie was part of a garage band known as "Les Loups de Fenrir", where she played bass. However, she suddenly dissapeared after an otherwise routine physical at 17 found her high in natural ki level. Official records don't have her dead or anything shady, she just dropped out of school, apparently transferring to a prestigious boarding school somewhere else in the country. However, reports indicate she was actually given training by the GIGN, before being transferred as the French representative of the newly formed MAVERICK. While she is not green per se, Lucie is still relatively inexperienced for a MAVERICK agent, but recent terrorist activity in Rio might just be the means to prove herself...

SUPER MOVES
WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
The best way to describe Lucie's fighting style is that she doesn't have one. While she can fistcuff reasonably competently, per military training, its nothing really anything all that special compared to her Nomad. Resultingly, she almost exclusively lets her FAMAS do the talking for her. Special ammunition specifically designed to ruin a ki user's day is standard issue for Lucie, along with a plethora of grenades that she can seemingly pull from hyperspace. When the going gets tough, Lucie can even rely on Asterix for backup.
SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES
■ Le Clarion
"The Bugle", the nickname for the Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne, or FAMAS for short. With a bullpup design and rate of fire of over a thousand rounds a minute, a FAMAS can quickly rain lead on any target while remaining accurate for over three thousand yards. Simply put, this is a weapon designed to kill things quickly. Of course, nomads tend to have a pesky trait of being extremely resistant to bullets, a fact that MAVERICK agents try to alleviate with using special bullets, but even then, the results aren't that great. It takes quite of bit of bullets to take down even one nomad. Lucie uses a suppressor with her rifle, partially to not damage her own ears, and partially to maintain stealth in ops.
The firing mode can be broken down into three options:
The firing mode can be broken down into three options:
■ Aventure de pointer-et-cliquer
"Point and click adventure", or semiautomatic fire, is her slowest but most efficient and accurate form of attack. One pull of the trigger means only one bullet fired.
■ Ménage à trois
Three round burst. A good trade-off between accuracy and volume of fire. Usually her default stance.
■ L'Agence tous risques tirent
"A-Team Firing", or fully automatic. For when everything needs to die quickly.
■ Citrons
"Lemons", or fragmentation grenades, are Lucie's main form of non-bullet based damage. It's just a simple grenade; pull the trigger and throw it far far away
■ Fumigène
A basic smoke grenade. Creates a smoke field in which no one can see through.
■ Assourdissante
A flashbang. Throw it in an area to temporary disorient people's eyesight and hearing. Including her own if she doesn't throw it right.
■ Bombe incendie
A basic incendiary grenade, meant to be used only to obstruct passage to an area and not physically on people. Often time that mandate gets ignored.
SUPER MOVES
■ Willie Pete
A White Phosphorus grenade. Burns flesh, creates smoke that is lethal to inhale, and may cause survivors to hallucinate. There is a line all MAVERICK cross using this grenade; it's a war crime and the UN doesn't want its agents seen using them. Still, those who are lucky and do what's necessary can find a supplier from Dubai willing to part ways with them. Orders not to use them aren't worth following if it means leaving people to die, but their scarcity means Lucie can often only bring a single one to battle.
■ Tesla
A highly experimental EMP grenade, nicknamed "Tesla(s)" by MAVERICK agents. Lob them in an area and fry electronics in a short area. They are cutting edge technology, so agents like Lucie are usually only afforded one a battle, but they are devastating to any robotic foe.
■ Asterix
The CV-47 "Heinlein" Combat Robot is a remarkable piece of technological innovation employed by MAVERICK. It is a fully autonomous (although not truly sentient) combat drone armed with an M2 Browning HMG, employed when even a FAMAS can't provide enough firepower to complete a job. Astertix is the drone assigned to Lucie, and serves as one of her close companions when on the field, humanizing its quirks as a personality and referring to it as a "he". Astertix usually has a hard time figuring out what is a civilian and what is an enemy, and prefers to shoot first and ask questions later. Therefore, Lucie tends to keep the gun not attached when not expecting to use him, making him essentially useless in combat. Lucie also doesn't just happen to carry a HMG on her person, so she can't easily convert him on the fly either.
WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
Take away the gun and the bombs and she is essentially powerless against any nomad-level threat. She has no ki techniques at all, projectile or otherwise. The grenades are all AoE, and can easily hurt herself if she is caught in the blast radius, so she can only use them at a reasonable distance away from her. The FAMAS is a bullet chugger, particularly if left on full-auto, and thus needs to reload often. This can be an opportunity for foes to catch in.
OTHER
Fist to fist, even Lucas or Brown could probably beat Lucie if she is unarmed. Seriously.
