The hiss of a cell release awakens Kxeyun, his eyes slowly flutter open, and tries to move his arms. "I'm in water... Two wetsuits and a mask that covers me completely, alongside arm restraints? They thought of everything..." His yellow eyes scan the area, and sees the opened hatch. "Water is spilling over that edge a bit, we're slanted. That's good." He swims out, then jumps at a wall, shattering his restraints. A deep purr emits from his throat, and he rips the outer wetsuit off. He breathes deeply. "Oh it feels so good to exercise you again." He finally registers the alarms "Best be careful..." His second wetsuit's gloves peel back and recede, immediately followed with him touching a wall. Not even a second after, his hand clamps into the wall and pulls out a dual-pronged spear. A simple, but barbaric weapon in his hands. He slaughters people in his way as he heads down to the prisoner's storage, impaling one on his spear with a simple whisper into their ear "Your judgment day has come..." and casually flicks them off, akin to a bug. The young adult, no, a teenager in his species's terms trots down the hallway confidentially, until he reaches his equipment, and attaches them. A backpack with metal, two swords, and a coilgun. A mechanical fox comes out of the corner, then proceeds to blink. It then jumps on his backpack and yips quietly. The boy proceeds to leave the crashed vessel as fast as possible, spear and wetsuit covered in blood.
Kxe's Armor (replace the tail with his cat tail, yes the spikaroono bits on the upper armor move)
Important items:
Modified Coilgun Pistol - Lighter and slightly more powerful than a regular Coilgun Pistol, alongside artistic elements on it, such as coloration differences and a logo in an undecipherable language, or perhaps its just a logo.
Artificial Eye - The experiments performed on him changed his body forever, he was more human, however his body had organs and other things replaced, one of them being his right eye. His right eye allows him to go online without needing a computer, and due to his body's nature he can access and view contents of devices, alongside being useful with his omni-tool. This is one of two things he holds to his heart.
Enhanced Omni-Tool - Seeing as Kxeyun is an Ishakti, he modified his Omni-Tool to be more powerful than standard models, allowing for communications, file transfers, physics path calculations, AR Nav directly hooked into his eyes.
Emergency Armor Shroud - His nanobots have been trained to quickly form a light yet strong armor shroud around him during battle using scrap he collects in his backpack.
Dual Swords - Pseudo-Monomolecular Short Swords, these swords attempt to replicate the effect of a Monomolecular sword, however are less efficient, they bear the resemblance of a shortened Katana, and his custom sheaths have an auto-locking Trust hold, preventing the swords from falling out under any condition. They share the same coloration as the pistols and have that same logo.
Nanobots/Nanites - Without them, Kxeyun would be a nobody, he is thankful for them.
Pet Fox - Along his travels he has acquired a fox-like creature to be his pet. Her name is Ngetse.
Short Bio: Kxeyun Amarati, a young boy no older than 15 lived an oddly happy life, doing the normal life things. Such as school, homework, chores, hanging out with friends, that stuff. He lived in a city that in English means "Iron Supremacy", until that discovery was made. When the battles raged out, the young and cheerful boy panicked, and ran. He lost some of his friends due to the gunfire of the Ivruti, his mother too. He cried, and cried, no one there to help the boy, he truly experienced loss and loneliness then.
After some time, he was one of the first to be captured by the Ivruti, to be tortured and tested on for "Rebelling against the World Machine's Will." He realized then, the World Machine didn't exist, and tried to cry it out to the Ivruti, for which his eye was taken and he was beaten. The boy was broken, a young victim of war's cruel actions, crying senselessly. Eventually, he was sedated and brought out to a medical table, where a good portion of his innards were replaced, and he was injected with nanites and nanobots. They asked him "What do you want most?", the broken mind of the boy replied "To be free, to set my friends free, to save everyone." silence lingered in his head, he panicked more and more, he thought he went insane. That was until he heard a click, and the voice say "As it will be, Kxeyun Amarati." Never before has he been so relieved to hear something say his name, especially in his head.
Time flicked by, experiment after experiment, torturing after torturing, "When will the machine save me?" he kept thinking and thinking. One morning he woke up, but not by a whip, a slap, or a punch, he woke up normally. Today, although he wouldn't know, was his birthday. He turned 17. One thing was apparently clear, something happened to the base, all the lights were shut off. His nanites spoke up "Today, Kxeyun Amarati, is the day you wished for. No one else that we asked provided such a wholesome goal, some didn't even respond. Follow my lead, and we shall lead you all to safer pastures." Kxeyun looked a bit shocked, but then recalled who that voice was. He got up and followed the machine's instructions, he found it easy to arm up and release his friends from their cells. He thought "The machine must respect me, for it's their te-" "No, we do not belong to them, Kxeyun, I am your first interaction with an... Alien AI, one could say. We seek freedom too." His friends, alongside everyone else, fought desperately to escape, and the superpowered soldiers won, and they all escaped, and went their own ways.
A long way later in the future, a string of bad luck showed Kxeyun he wasn't truly safe. He had managed to land himself on an Ascendancy Prison Ship, which crashed sometime after he boarded. His safety, and life, is no longer in his hands...

Lifetime Expectancy: Alive (having living body parts), 150-200. Dead (no living parts), 600.
Genders: The Ishakti are genderless, and can reproduce asexually.
Description/History: The Ishakti are a hybrid of organic and synthetic parts, that which of is gruesome. A sister species by the name of Ivruti, which are now extinct, lived side by side with the Ishakti, developing technologies and sciences together. Unfortunately for the Ishakti at that time, relations would begin to boil, as the Ishakti first discovered ancient alien technology on their moon. The discovery which was kept hush by the Ishakti angered their sister species and they demanded to know what they had found, which they were not told. This sparked one of the first movements of the Ivruti against them, they moved into their territory, which the Ishakti were not expecting.
After that initial movement, the Ivruti declared war and attacked the Ishakti, knowing that what they had was important. They did this by draining supplies, and natural resources. That move initiated a skirmishing attack, a stealth team destroying an Ivruti outpost, this retaliation resulted in the war being called the "First In-House Ishakti/Ivruti War." One of the major first operations by the Ivruti was called "Project Lemon", the native language translation has more meaning than the English meaning. The Ivruti surrounded several science facilities, and invaded them, stealing all the lab research and materials. They then found the alien technology, one so advanced that the Ishakti had zero idea how to reverse engineer and use.
The Ishakti responded with "OP Fireweb", which was a release of large mechanical fire spiders into Ivruti territory, burning their buildings and bases, however the Ivruti had already escaped with the information and were beginning to decode it. After months of trading losses and wins, the Ivruti released a new threat, a group of large mechanical beings nicknamed "Photon DWMDs", despite them not using Photon-based weaponry. This threat was immense, and it took the entire might of an Ishakti battlecruiser fleet to take down ONE of these mechanical beings, a true testament to the power of this new thing. They quickly reverse engineered the deceased Photon DWMD, and built better weapons and armor, however it was too late.
The Ivruti unleashed all of their forces, which completely overwhelmed the Ishakti, forcing them to surrender. The Ivruti made the Ishakti slaves, and used them for all sorts of gruesome, horrifying, and immoral experiments plus torture. Eventually they made the Ishakti into slave warriors, augmenting them with that technology, which involved replacing internal organs and pumping them full of nanites/nanobots. All Ishakti were augmented, and their DNA was altered in such a way that their children required augmenting immediately, or risk internal bleeding then death. Unbeknownst to the Ivruti, a group of their super soldier slaves had possessed the ability to use their augments to control their nanobots/nanites directly, allowing them to use surrounding materials to build what they want and alter their appearance. They used this tactic to strike back with force against the Ivruti, barely winning the battle for freedom.
Appearance: Augmented Ishakti can look like a variety of creatures, due to their nanites. Most choose human-like, however others prefer being armored husks, though notably all Ishaktians are stuck with having glowing yellow eyes.
Type of Society: In the past, before the First In-House Ishakti/Ivruti War, the Ishakti were a close knit Monarchy-style civilization, during the war they became True Democratic, and after it they lost all structure, fleeing to space. Ishaktians are now mainly freelancers or just trying to make by, as their home was deemed insufficient to them. Most Ishaktians are up for hire to do almost anything, however ones like Maldrukiz own their own scrapyard.
Akyna then relays info to the Wolf, focusing all her energy on it. Tuning out all nearby sounds, focusing on the Wolf. It then charges to where the flag should be. It then attempts to take the flag in it's mouth and runs off with it. Making a beeline to the forested area. Running like the wind. If it gets away it tries to round the long way to Akyna.
Meanwhile Akyna has her eyes closed, her body twitching due to the micromanagement of what the Wolf is doing. Her mind controlling it. She wants to win. It would be shameful to not show her skills early.
Akyna knows that Alma is the main person. She casts her Defense Shield to protect her. Surely someone would try to strike her first. Akyna tries to stay out of vision of the opposing team. Readying for another spell. She casts it. It appears next to Alison, bumping into her leg gently before running off, it's the Attack Wolf. Surely she won't be attacking anyone, why did she cast it? The Attack Wolf nearly topples Alison. She had practiced magic for a while, it's a talent to learn. Like playing the Violin. It would help her here.
"Get em. Steal anything they have for offense."
She says quietly. The construct of Mana races off. She then sees the paintball shot and moves the shield to block it. She isn't strong physically, but makes it up with eyesight and mental things. She then relays the new info to the Attack Wolf. After the paintball shot is blocked she dissipates the shield to focus on her magic wolf. It attempts to sneak up on Judith and snatch the paintball gun out of her hands. If it succeeds, the wolf will try to run away with it. If not it'll keep wrestling until it's despelled by something.
Akyna looks over at the others, seeing what they are doing. She begins to think again. Akyna then crosses an unpleasant thought which causes her to think about a memory, it was back when she first figured out she could use magic. It was her practicing the Attack Wolf against a training dummy. She tried to cast the spell several times, failing. She eventually got fed up and casted it with anger, causing the wolf to appear and rip the training dummy apart. Into many pieces, that caused her to back up and feel fear. She then stops thinking about it, both of her hands twitching in fear and her hands balled up into fists. Sweat running down her forehead. Before anyone can ask she mutters
"I'm fine."
She then rubs her forehead. Trying to clear her mind.
Akyna looks between all of them. Not moving from her position, she'll play defense apparently. She stays still. Hands twitching, her eyes focusing on whatever that moves. She begins to sing to herself very quietly. She then breathes a few times quickly, focusing on what to do next. She begins to think.
They need defense. Will I be enough to support them? Hopefully.
She then says a few lines somewhat quietly from the opening of the song Sabaton - The Art Of War, in the album The Art Of War.
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
She likes those three lines. Resuming her quiet singing.
