Name: Da-Xia Chen
Age: 20
Type: Da-Xia is heavily biased towards Power.
Personality
Da-Xia sees herself as an ideal chivalric knight, roaming the land to right wrongs and slay evils, protecting the innocent folk of the world. This comes with a measure of pompous haughtiness and reckless overconfidence, but also overflowing generosity and unshakeable courage. She goes above and beyond the Diver code to a point most would raise an eyebrow at what she's trying to prove. If she wasn't about to loudly tell them that she's trying to prove, that she's an ideal chivalric knight.
Still young, Da-Xia often dreams of true love. These dreams are fed by her prodigious consumption of knightly romances, more of this genre alone than most people have read books in total, and it is rare to find her without at least one in her pack and several hundred on her UNIT's wishlist. She's envisions herself as the shining white knight who will come and save some beautiful young man in desperate need. Though sometimes she finds the roles switched an imagining herself being rescued. Greatly confusing to the already confused youth, but she's more than happy to lance a monster or two to get her head back on straight.
Background
Da-Xia claims to be descended from chivalric knighthood, pointing to family titles and the island that once belonged to her family before the gates opened. And while it is true that there were some Sirs and Ladies in her family's history, they were actually knighted for artistic merit. But a past Da-Xia doesn't know is unimportant to the future she is forging for herself, that of a heroic knight. She is all too happy to spread her version of her family history.
Even if not enough of her past survived the monsters to know it's true beginnings, Da-Xia still has had more going for her than many other AEGIS-wielding Divers. For her share of the family inheritance, she paid enough of her AEGIS' downpayment that she is significantly less in debt than most rookie Divers of her age. Additionally, she still has her father, older brother, and older sister alive. While she roams far from them in search monsters to slay and heroic deeds to perform, it never hurts to have family for emotional security. She frequently calls or chats with them when she has a new tale to tell or simply needs social comfort.
Cross Gear
Da-Xia wields a lance, perhaps a bit too enamored of chivalric tales of old. Granted, most knights of old wouldn't have a grenade launcher in their lance, intended to launch flashbangs to stun the target in place for Da-Xia to land a good charge.
Equipment
- A monstrous bike that Da-Xia uses to compensate for her lack of personal mobility.
- Her EC-K, a standard knife type, also serves as the key for her bike.
- Her Unit is a fairly standard 'smartphone' type configuration. She has a mount for it on the dash of her bike.
- Smart Contact-Lenses that provide flash-protection and sunglasses function. Good for dramatically staring into the sunset.
- Smart Earplugs that provide gunfire-protection and tuning out loud repetitive noises like her engines.
- Food, water, and medical supplies kept in a compartment in her bike. She must ever be ready to help those in need.
- Knightly romance novels, usually snuck into the above compartment.
- Flashbang reloads, kept in a different compartment.
- Power adapter for charging her bike via her AEGIS system in case of running out of fuel in an emergency.
- Skid and burn resistant suit. Da-Xia's suit isn't going to protect her from monsters, but helps for monster-induced crashes.
Skills
- Skilled Motorcycle Rider and decent mechanic. Can usually get her bike to limp home on occasion she wrecks.
- Fast Reader. She gets through those novels quick.
- She's decent with a lance, but is certainly no master. Point lance towards monster, and let her riding skills do the rest.
- It is fortunate for Da-Xia that grenades are not precision weapons.
- Her greatest weakness is lack of experience or confidence fighting dismounted. At 20, she has not been a Diver long.
