3)        Characteristics:

  
 * Personality: Distant by choice, trying to slip by unnoticed by everyone she interacts with. Prefers computers to people, as computers have set commands whereas people are irrational. The only person she actually likes is Midas, who is something of a father /older brother rolled into one to her. Loves anything electrical – and if it has a CPU, even better. Quiet, somewhat amoral, and uses her brother as the standard to live up to, trying to emulate him. Hacking is second nature to her – she doesn’t think anything of funnelling extra funds for herself or ruining someone’s life whenever she feels like it.
 * Background:
 * Kaltrina’s father was a hacker affiliated with a minor gang in outer Vacuo called Electrickery. She is the result of a one-night stand, and was left behind by her mother for her father raise as a newborn. Her father left her care to her older brother Midas (alias, real name Flavio Goban) who was eleven years older than her, in between his jobs with Electrickery and training Midas as a hacker.
 * Kaltrina 2, Midas 13. Electrickery got on the bad side of a rival gang and their base was discovered. In the chaos of Electrickery coming under attack, Midas hid with Kaltrina in the bottom shelf of the uniform closet and kept her quiet by smothering her face in his chest long enough for her to fall unconscious. After the rival gang ran off due to the cops being called on the location because of the sounds of fighting, Midas slipped out through the back door of the hideout and ran to one of the other safe houses the gang had set up. There, he erased all information connecting himself and Kaltrina to Electrickery (rather sloppily; he cleaned it up eight years later) and made them a new identity as Cereza and Midas Floriente, as was drummed into his head by his father from a young age.
 * Kaltrina/Cereza 6, Midas 17. Midas learnt that one of the gang members crucial to the attack on Electrickery was an Aura user, normally something reserved for hunters and big time criminals, and decided that neither he or Cereza would stand a chance if it came down to a fight due to lack of combat training. Using his hacking skills he got himself a tutor under the alias of Daven Pouli in hand to hand combat, pistol and aura use. At the end of the intermediate training two years later, Midas killed his instructor through sneak attack while he was leaving after a training session, and moved Cereza and himself to another safe house he’d set up, where he started training her in pistol use and hacking. She discovers her love for all things electrical, and that the most powerful weapon in both their arsenal is their fingers.
 * Cereza 13, Midas 24. Midas unlocked Cereza’s aura to start her training in close-range combat and aura use. She feels a niggle in her mind whenever she uses computers, and feels frustrated with how clunky her hands can be when trying to get her thoughts into a program. She starts crafting her own computer chips designed to take phones and computers off-grid. After much trial and error, Cereza decides to learn to use a polearm instead of extreme close combat, and starts designing Llaw Du.
 * Cereza 14, Midas 25. Cereza stumbles upon the chip that her semblance links with, creating a neural connection between her mind and the computers. She incorporates the chip into her weapons, and Midas crafts Llaw Du for her whilst she makes Droed Gwyn, installing her control chips. Midas hires another tutor for her to learn to use her weapons under another alias. Much trial and error later, she finally gets the basics of her fighting style. Midas kills the tutor with another sneak attack while he’s on his way out, and they move once again.
 * Cereza 16, Midas 27. Midas enrols her in Refuge without telling her firsthand. When confronted, he tells her of his wish for her to be something other than just a petty criminal all her life and to learn more than he can teach her, especially about looking after herself. Cereza decides to go, but only so she can learn what they teach. She fully plans to return to her brother’s side after she has graduated, so doesn’t want to draw attention to herself while enrolled there.

4)        Combat info:

   
 * Position/Class:
 * Landing strategy: Hook Llaw Du around something and slow her descent. If nothing is available, she fires Droed Gwyn at the ground a few times to slow her momentum, then rolls when she hits the ground.
 * Weapon:
 * Name: Llaw Du (Black Hand)
 * Wielder: Cereza Floriciente (alias, real name is Kaltrina Goban)
 * Maker/Smith: Midas, Cereza's older brother
 * Type: Pivoting Tri-Blade Polearm (PTBP)
 * Weapon Derivation: Crescent Rose, Chernabog  (Bayonetta 2)
 * Form 1: A Polearm. A collapsible shaft, the thinnest part of which is 2 1/2 inches in diametre and increases in 1” increments for each larger section. The bottom is weighted with a power supply, which powers the small computer above the handle, which in turn controls the positioning of the blades.
 * The three blades are lined up next to each other on individual arms, which are in turn connected to the main shaft. Each blade can pivot 180 degrees front and back, and the arms can in turn rotate 180 degrees. The blades are all straight with a single edge.
 * The entire weapon is electronic and computer operated, built with the chip for Cereza's semblance to control it to prevent others using her weapon and give herself more control over blade positioning. Fully extended, from the base to the top of the computer housing is 8’ - the arms add an extra 6” and the arm housing (topmost square in picture) is another 4” in height and the blades are 3’ long. When the blades are fully extended upwards, the entire frame is 9'10". The blades are each 4" wide. Does not have a gun mode - it is used in conjunction with her second weapon, Droed Gwyn (details next).
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: The middle part of the shaft retracts up inside the two main pieces - where the side handle is and where the computer is housed. The lowest part retracts into the area housing the power supply. The arms turn to sit at 90 degrees to the main body, and the blades collapse back on themselves by 8” and fold to lie parallel to the rest of the scythe with the edge facing inwards. The entire frame is 3'2" long and 1' wide.
 * Features/Capabilites: All three blades are pivoting from two points - where the blades meet the arms and where the arms meets the main shaft. Each pivoting point can turn 180 degrees (as demonstrated in picture - it doesn’t really have nine blades. I'm not that crazy). The blades can pivot regardless of whether the entire structure is extended or not.
 * Usage: Like a polearm for the most part. She mostly uses piercing attacks or turns the blades to be in a reverse-scythe position (blades at same angle but cutting edge is facing outwards) to do wide slashing attacks. She rarely uses it as a traditional scythe. It can be used as a crude axe when sheathed, but the effectiveness is very low.
 * For intimidation purposes, she will use the blades in a scissor motion, but never in actual battle. When waiting for a battle to begin, Cereza will wiggle the blades as though they were fingers in anticipation to disturb her opponents.
 * Planned/possible upgrades: Possibly a gun attached to it in some form, though the cable and power/pc unit take up most of the space available to her internally. Dust channelling capabilities are definitely in the future.
 * Name: Droed Gwyn (White Foot)
 * Wielder: Cereza Floriciente (alias, real name is Kaltrina Goban)
 * Maker: Cereza, with help from older brother Midas
 * Type: Dual Pistols (DP)
 * Wepaon Derivation: Bayonetta's guns (Love is Blue and Scarborough Fair), Lara Croft guns
 * Form: A pair of pistols, standard in shape except that they don't have a trigger. Instead a small black box replaces the trigger mechanism with a pc and power supply installed. They slot onto specially made rails on her heels and are then clipped in place with black straps straps. The barrels are black and the magazine holsters silver, to blend with the armour attached to her boots and passed over as decorations. They are completely non-transforming. The barrel is five and a half inches longs, half an inch shorter than her heels to protect the end of the barrels from damage. They can be removed from her heels and used as standard pistols, but this takes time and can’t be done efficiently in battle.
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: slotted on her heels, exactly the same as the combat form.
 * Features/Capabilities: Capable of firing elementally charges dust rounds
 * Usage: A sneak attack weapon. She rarely uses ranged combat, but is willing to take advantage of her opponents lack of knowledge about her guns if she gets a clear shot. She also uses her legs in conjunction with Llaw Du to block attacks, but her main offensive and defensive capabilities lie in Llaw Du.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: Possibly a blade that extends from the toes of her boots to use as another sneak attack weapon.
 * Semblance: Data Link; She builds specially designed computer processing chips that can be installed in almost anything with a CPU that her semblance links with. This creates a neural link between her mind and the chip, which can then affect the CPU. Command thoughts are input into the CPU as though she was sitting in front of it physically typing them in, and data is registered in her mind as her own thoughts. Gives her control over the functions of whatever she has installed the chip on as long as she actually knows how to use the command at a computer.
 * Weak to EMP blasts and requires a power supply to run. Doesn’t teach her how to use whatever she installs it on instantaneously. Maximum working distance between herself and the chip is twenty-five metres, and too many chips overloads her mind with data until the chip is either turned off, moved far enough away or destroyed. She can currently use four chips – one in Llaw Du, one in each of Droed Gwyn and one in her scroll. Further practise will increase the amount of chips she can use and the distance.

 * Relationships:
 * Midas; loves and adores him, he is somewhere between a father and an older brother to her. He is the only father she knows, and she strives to emulate him wherever possible. She will do anything he says, and do anything to protect him.
 * Team mates; distant and cold, she neither offers advice nor asks for it. They often band together in an attempt to get close to her, but she ignores them. Has thought of killing them more than once to remove the annoyance of having to deal with them, but realises that doing so would draw attention to herself – the opposite of what she and Midas want. She is willing to work together to get a job done, but only the bare minimum, and willingly relinquishes the role of Leader to another teammate when situations arise.
 * Notes: This character is three pages in word. I don’t blame you for not reading her, to be honest.
