3) Characteristics:

Background: Kaltrina’s father was a hacker affiliated with a minor gang in outer Vacuo called Autolycus. 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 Flavio Goban who was eleven years older than her, in between his jobs with Autolycus and training Flavio as a hacker.

Autolycus was wiped out by a rival gang when Kaltrina was just 2, just before Flavio was due to start at [Vacuo Combat School] and begin training as a Hunter. Flavio hid himself and Kaltrina in a linen closet and kept her quiet by smothering her face in his chest. She almost died from suffocation before Flavio realised she could breathe, resulting in extremely minor brain damage that affects how she thinks. Flavio scrapped the idea of becoming a Hunter to raise Cereza, as the rest of the gang was either dead or scattered, and in the chaos after the attack he slipped away and got the siblings started on their new life under new names - Cereza and Midas Florecimiento.

Cereza’s life for the next eleven years was one of constantly moving from safe house to safe house, her brother having become paranoid that someone would link the pair to the old gang of Autolycus. It was just herself and Midas, with the occasional teacher and tutor that never lasted long before they were paid and left.

This continued, even past Cereza’s 13th birthday. Rather than sending her to combat school, Midas hired private tutors to teach her the stuff she would need to know to survive, and taught her all the skills he himself knew - including programming and hacking. She soaked up everything Midas had to teach her, discovering a love for all things electrical and computerised, and that the greatest weapon at her disposal were her fingers. It was through careful experimentation on her part with her Aura, which was unlocked at the age of 14, when she discovered her semblance. Afterwards computer knowledge came even quicker to her, and she was soon moving from the software portion of computers onto the hardware portion.

It was by complete accident that she created the first specialised computer chip that cut the aura drain she experienced when using her semblance on a computer installed with the chip. She quickly incorporated the chip into all her technology, and had Midas craft her a weapon that would be impossible for anyone but her to use.

When she was 16, Midas started building an information broker’s guild seriously, instead of just toying with the idea, and Cereza volunteered to go the [Vacuo Hunter Academy] as in inside man in the Academy, and later the Hunter workforce itself. Midas was reluctant but realised the value of such a move, and she was quickly enrolled in the Academy.

Personality: Distant by choice, trying to slip by unnoticed by everyone she interacts with as she gathers information on them all. Prefers computers to people, as computers have set commands whereas people are irrational. The only people she actually likes are Midas, who is something of a father /older brother rolled into one to her, and a few of his Vanguard. 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.

Likes: Technology, mind puzzles and things that make you think about them

Dislikes: Irrationality, people, magnets

Hunter Extension

I) Weapon

Name: Droed Gwyn and Llaw Du

Type: Computerized Semi-Automatic Dual Pistols (CSDP) and Computerised Pivoting Tri-Blade Polearm (CPTP)

Short Description: A pair of computerised pistol, strapped to the heels of her boots, and a triple bladed pivoting polearm.

II) Semblance:

Name: Transduction

Short description: She controls computers with her mind through the use of electromagnetic waves, manipulating the command system to respond to her thoughts.

Visual effect: Her eyes glow neon blue; because she generally has her Semblance activated permanently it gives the illusion that her eyes are naturally that bright.

III) Combat info:

Position/Class: Lancer

Landing strategy: Hooks Llaw Du around any nearby objects to slow her descent. If nothing is available, she fires Droed Gwyn at the ground to slow her descent and rolls with the impact.

Fighting style: Full of quick stabs and occasionally a wide slice using the blades of Llaw Du in a reverse scythe motion. She will also rarely stab her opponents and separate the blades in opposite direction, tearing it out of them messily. Never uses Llaw Du as a traditional scythe, despite being able to angle the blades that way. Uses Droed Gwyn as a sneak attack, and rarely in the heat of combat unless she is disarmed. She cannot use Droed Gwyn and Llaw Du at the same time effectively.

IV)Stats:

Strength: 1

Agility: 2

Aura reserve: 3

Aura manipulation: 1

Dust Manipulation: 1

Dust use: 1

Weapon Skill (Primary): 3

Civilian Extension

I) Day to Day Life

Expanded Occupation/Business Details: Secret member of Electrickery, the information broker gang that her brother created.

Skills: Hacking, computer programming, computer parts creation

Certifications: Certificate 3 in Information Technology

Expanded Relationships/Family Life:

Midas:  She loves and adores him, he is somewhere between a father and a brother to her. He is the only father figure she knows, and she strives to emulate him wherever possible. She will do anything he says, and do anything to protect him. Her earrings were a gift from him when she enrolled at [Vacuo Hunter Academy].

Vanguard: Gets along well with Blodwen and enjoys spending time with Cordovan. Not a fan of Roux.

Teammates: 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.

Her mother: Doesn’t know her, doesn’t care about her. Doesn’t even know if she’s still alive.

Anything below this line is for her second year, and adds on/changes the main CS as neccessary.

Casual Outfit:

3) Characteristics:

Background: After managing to slip under the radar for most of the year, except being pulled up on her rather lackluster efforts as a team leader, Cereza returned to [Vacuo Hunter Academy] to gather more information and (hopefully) not get caught as an inside man for a technically criminal gang.

Personality: Basically the same person as she was in her first year, she now attempts to be a slightly better Team Leader due to not wanting to get pulled up for failing again, which would call unwanted attention to her.
