[/size][/li][/ul] [/blockquote]
- Tactical
- She acts to get what she wants and fulfill her mission. Socializing with others is only when a requirement. Otherwise she prefers to not get really involved with others. Most of her actions are preplanned, which does not remove her from acting spontaneous at times.
- Pseudo Social
- Shion stays away from others, but not because she really dislikes people, rather than fearing that they might one day end up on her target list. Although she can manage to get the job done, it does not mean that there are not emotions, that could eventually hinder her and cause her to fail. She still seeks company like all other human people and so joins some smaller groups now and then, has no issues with one night stands, but stays away from real relationships and also never stays longer in one place for extended periods of time.
- Killer
- She can kill people, and has a high resistant against emotional pain. Shion would not get nightmares from breaking a babies neck, at least not too soon. It just does not match her regular nightmares anyway.
- Femme Fatale
- Shion might not be the most attractive person in the world, but she knows how to use her charm and is a bit of a seducer. This nonetheless is more for and due to her profession than to get into a relationship. Gathering information on a target is sometimes more important, than a good gun.
LIKES: //[/color]
- The night and especially the moon
- Colder Weather
- Food with Intense Flavor (the spicier the better)
- Plum Wine
- Comedies
DISLIKES: //[/color]
- Extremely Hot Days
- Too much sun
- Rain
- Blood (albeit not freaking out because of it)
- Noodle Dishes
STRENGTHS: //[/color]
Metal Components increase the protection of some vitals and the extra mass can be used properly in some attacks. Relatively high pulling strength when reinforced. She can see properly during the night, but this is only a now and then effect. Although she has magus potential, more of a tech freak and magus killer. High strength and melee skilled, and stubbornly refusing to go down even under heavy damage. She can sometimes be slightly stronger during the night and remain in the shadows until her duties are required. Proficient in her job and relatively pain resistant.
WEAKNESSES: //[/color]
An increasing thirst for blood, but can not drink it, with a human body. Extra Weight also comes with slowdowns and cause issues for Snake Fist and some speed issues arise during reinforcement. Fragments seem to hold in place, but cause pain and she constantly needs pain suppressors. She has developed into something like a drug junkie and also has problems with her sense of taste. It requires a real strong flavor to do anything. Her body is already beginning to break apart, and hard to say how many years she has left.
Pain: //[/color]
Shion has to deal with a lot of problems, like a blood thirst, lack of taste and pain. To counter at least the final problem, she applies pain suppressors. It's usually applied in proper doses, but extended periods of battle cause an increase of movement and also an increase in pain. The pain dulls the senses and can even stun her in the worst cases, also making it completely impossible to use any kind of magic or fight properly. Applying extra suppressors help with this, but there is a limit to how much she can take.
It will certainly also decrease the pain she might feel from enemy attacks, but lowers her accuracy, speed and the lack of self awareness can be very dangerous.
Although just an example, basically each 30 minutes of extended battle she would need a shot, with each shot reducing accuracy by 10% Everything at 50 or above would be like an overdose.

MY FAMILY LINE: //[/color]
There is not much to say about my family. I think they were quite new in the magus area and wanted to get a strong child. I am not sure if they had originally good intentions or were just drowning in the possibilities of raised self esteem when they gave me away. They might have had some circuits and a bit of quality, but I am sure that they were barely over the single digits and if lucky able to get 1 or 2 PrC done.
My family, if I may call one as such than it would be my master, my owner, father and trainer. I had been shaped into a killer by him and something else.......
MY HISTORY: //[/color]
I was born in a pretty average family. Both parents were supposedly magi, but I can't even remember them anymore. They were just too proud when a well dressed man, who would become my father chose me with some others to become his apprentices. I do not know what I had, or what he saw in me. Maybe it was because I was expendable, but my life changed.
I still remember the harsh training, trying to climb a 3 meter wall at the age of 5, or when he cut me open to insert some metal parts into my body and sewed me back together. The pain... a sensation I seem to have lost thanks to my daily dose of medication.
It was difficult to even see the attack motion of my master's strikes at first, but now I can perform it equally. Like a snapping snake recoiling and twisting to bite the opponent in the most vulnerably places. A pity that I can't shed my skin and get born anew. Sometimes I awake to be just a kid again, no blood stained monster.
A cyborg, huh? How stupid that is not possible with magic. Those were his words when I asked him what he was trying to achieve. Those things are still in my body, doing nothing, other than numbing me and making me feel misplaced.
This shell, that is the container of my soul, is not my body anymore, but I survived everything. I was lucky and my body kept up with the changes, wounds and inflicted mental distress, my peers were less fortunate. Or perhaps they were the lucky ones. In a sense it was amusing, that I had really learned a lot, mostly just to kill, but what about magic?
The promise of becoming a great magus with his guidance was far from the truth, I basically only learned what was deemed necessary. This also included my jobs. No matter, how much I liked the idea of having comrades, it was just something meant to gain their trust and steal from them. Knowledge and Technology for the price of my soul.
My soul, the only thing I had left, but my master praised my growth and progress and left me with a final parting gift, before disappearing from my eyes, but I have yet to see the truth behind this 'gift' given with his kiss of 'death'. Perhaps that thing within me, some call a soul, is no more than a fabricated illusion still clinging to the dream of a naive little child.
Now simply using an alias, I wander around in search for some jobs, just to land in Lucca. This rotten stench of corruption and battle, I knew it well. Maybe some amusement awaited.
MY GOALS: //[/color] Staying or rather becoming human, again.
[/size][/blockquote]
- MX44
A rather new handgun, developed to fire even bigger ammonition at high speed without overloading it. Effective in all kinds of weather and based on the predecessor the USP, it can fire 9x19mm Parabellum rounds, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. Due to her missions she really carries all types of ammonition with her. The magazine size varies from Para 20 shots, .40 S&W 18 Shots to .45 15 Shots.
Effective Firerange is 60 meters, that she can hit well during the night, less so on day, more reduced to 50 meter effective, with Shion able to hit well at 30.
- FN F2000
5.56x45mm NATO Ammo, Speed 900m/s, by 500m, fires around 850rounds per minute and has a 30 rounds magazine. Thanks to the 1.6 mag she can also hit relatively well on ranges around 200-300, but she is more of a melee fighter.
- Combat Knive
Standard Ka-Bar version. Nothing special but still quite nice, yet actually a reserve weapon carried on her belt.
- Active Camouflage System
A prototype of a high tech camouflage system, unfortunately it does not make someone invisible, yet 'melts a bit with the surroundings' like a 'Chameleon'. Quite useful in fact at longer distances, but it is hard to get away with it if you are really in broad daylight. Especially magi or servants can certainly make her out even at distances beyond 50 meters if she is in their field of vision, but normal people might have a problem.
Combined with her stealth ability still quite useful and as it is science it does not cause her prana signature to alarm everyone in sight. It still has major problems with fog, or snow and rain and can change so frequently that she is better off switching it off. This was the item she stole some years ago and although she can repair it to some degree, it is still just a piece of clothing that will work depending on its status.
- Ninjagatana
She has two of them and they are her weapon. Made of fine alloys by a master, they can easily cut a humans head from the shoulders, but unable to match some specially made magi weapons and even less against a servant.
- Night vision Goggles
Standard Military Purposes. She does not really need them, though.
RANK: //[/color] None
ELEMENT: //[/color] Fire/Earth (Metal)
EXPERTISE: //[/color]
The Snake
The snake style is known in some martial arts styles, but there are still underground organizations that prefer to hone the animal style to perfection, meant for only one purpose. Killing. It is quite useless to capture an enemy with it or just beat them into submission, every whip like lash, difficult to see coming, is deadly. Shion received constant training in this style and now after turning 28, she is quite proficient in it. Especially the first strikes are quite powerful and fast, but she tends to slow down considerably after the first series of strikes. (3-4 posts) She is an expert in this.
Reinforcement
Basically what one magus, only skilled in the art of killing would need. Reinforcement to keep up with opponents and hurt them badly. In her sense it is also meant to increase her durability a bit better than usual.
Stealth
A killer needs to remain invisible and quiet. Although certainly not as versed as the assassins of old, who could be invisible without the help of technology, Shion applies her own skills and the modern technology to sneak up on enemies and finish them off in one swift motion. A modern day ninja.
Nitoryu
A style used in Japan, and famous for being used by Miyamoto Musashi or Yagyu Jubei. Although the style was meant to be used with a long and a short sword in combination to simply make the most use of the carried equipment. Its adaption to simply use two weapons at the same time was to be expected. Shion is more skilled with her bare hands, but carries melee weapons with her. Although it can be called an expertise, it is fairly low leveled and only on high average.
Night strong Day weak
Not exactly an expertise, but she feels better during the night, while blinding light is quite uncomfortable in her eyes. She can basically see targets in darkness and is slightly stronger during the night. The effects are still hardly noteworthy, though. Maybe 15% stronger, based on the overall strength of a well trained human female.
MAGIC CIRCUITS: //[/color] 35 circuits with 2,3 prana totaling up to 80.5
SPELLS: //[/color]
Ironclad Armor (Earth)
Rank: B
Cost: 20
Range: 250 for gathering, 0 on effective range
Effect:
A one verse spell, despite its good value. It draws the iron sand in her surrounding, up to 50 meter to her body, sticks it to the body and then reinforces it to turn into hardened armor. It is more than durable enough to be called as tough as steel.
The pros are the increase of mass and so the impulse and damage, as well as the great defense, although certainly unable to match attacks of a servant and vulnerable against lightning and water spells.
The negative effects are that it is very uncomfortable for one and also quite painful, when it sticks to her face for instance. It also reduces her speed, which requires more power for regular reinforcement and steel arms can not bend as great as usually. She basically reduces her ability to use snake fist with this considerably.
As nice as this spell may be, it also usually cannot cover the entire body. One may not find the proper material in the surroundings. But the limitation can mostly be countered thanks to the high range of the spell. It can be disengaged with a simple word command, but otherwise can last for around 15 minutes. Destroyed armor partitions are not automatically restored.
Reinforcement (Fire/Strengthening)
Rank: C
Cost: 20 // 30
Range: 0
Effect:
Only meant to reinforce the strength and reaction time of a limb and the hardness and speed of hand and feet to turn them into weapons. It also increases her toughness and resistance against attacks on the head or torso as well, albeit the hardness of the skin can't be improved without turning it into something inhuman, ending up killing oneself.
Although not the strongest kind of reinforcement, still in the upper region and costly because of its instant and long lasting effect. The effect lasts for 15 minutes.
Using it with Ironclad Body consumes more prana (30) because she needs to reinforce more, and yet her speed still is lower, yet the defense is boosted quite a lot.
PLAYER'S NAME: //[/color] Sion
FACE CLAIM: //[/color] Motoko Kusanagi, Ghost in the Shell
OTHER CHARACTERS: //[/color] Saber - Mordred, Caster - Tamamo, Berserker - Kim, Lancer - Hildr, Master - Lumi, Master - Celes, Master - Alexandra, Master - Aya, Master - Vladilena
MISC. INFORMATION: //[/color] This info is not so misc actually. Her 'parent' was a Dead Apostle, but does not do much. Although she is something that turns into a vampire, like Nrvnqsr turned himself into one, she is not a vampire, does not suck blood, or anything else. More of some 'urges' might appear in posts. Probably better for another war.
