Personality
Strengths:Independent, Quick-Mind, Flexibility, and Military-Minded
Weaknesses: Laid-Back, Sadistic/Flirty, Bored-Easily, and Temperamental
Those who meet Ash for the first time, will have to say that she is one you don't want to tangle with. Either in the sheets or when fighting her. The basic understanding of how Ash is like, is that she is a laid-back type of female. Yet she also has a flirty like side to her, that shows through her sadistic pleasure at seeing people in pain. Mostly in a physical situation more then emotional. She actually can get bored, if someone is in pain emotionally, since she doesn't see them actually harmed in a sense. Cause of her upbringing, she has a mind like a solider, she always thinks first of the situation at hand, and how to go about it. Due to this, she can be very flexible and quick on her feet when she can. The downside though, is that she does have a temper issue. When people push her buttons about who she is, as well as how she is a cyborg, she will actually snap out. She hates it more, when people calls her a 'Tool' or a simple drone. She doesn't think that way in the least.
Ash though does have a nice side to her. Its just hard to see it. The issue at hand though, is that when she meets strong people, she ends up getting distracted and want to fight them. Or in another way, see if she can harm them. Deep down though, Ash is searching for someone that can beat her, which is a secret masochist side to her that no one even knows about. When it comes to fear, Ash honestly has no understand at it. Always diving into it full headed. Being a tomboy, she doesn't hold back, even if she gets hurt in the process. Also, when it comes to Ash, she doesn't know the meaning of modesty.
Equipment / Abilities
EQUIPMENT
Outfit:Ash is what you call, a woman that wears what feels the most comfortable. In a sense, she dresses less and what she feels makes it flexible to work in. Cause of this, all she wears daily is a pair of ripped jeans, a sports bra-top with short sleeves that seen better days. And a pair of brown work boots, with slight heels in the back. Besides the black army straps that go from her hand to her elbow, as well on her ankle, she also has her ears pierced with black punk piercings with black balls on the end of them.
Weapons: Ash carries a array of blades mostly. Her most favorite use, is a large razor dagger, that is her main. While carrying around ten to twenty throwing or short daggers on her form.
Other: Being a cyborg, she does have special implants inside of her. One of which, is a cord, she plugs into any tech to get inside of it to see what is going on. Or to unlock stubborn doors.
ABILITIES
Although Ash looks like a normal woman, truth be told, she is actually a cyborg with a implanted human brain. Her own brain. Due to this, she does have some perks at being a cybernetic human.
Robotic Implants
Cybernetic Human Body Being as it is, having a cyborg of a form, does have perks. Some involving where her senses and body are more then normal. She is able to use her own body to collect or receive calls or messages from any point of technology. As well, she can even hack into some tech places to get what she wants.
Abilities:
Enhanced Senses;; With a robotic body, this female's five senses are enhanced to a technological stand point. She is able to see farther in the distance about a mile, as well as to see in the dark or sense the heat of bodies. Her ability to smell, allows her to pinpoint what each smell is, say if someone was cooking food, she can tell which ingredients were used in it. Hearing, she is able to hear a pin drop from about twenty-four feet away from her. The same could be said for taste, for she can even run through the chips in her brain what she tasted and whats in it. And for touch, that is something of a backlash. She is able to enhance her touch to feel the slightest of changes, or dull her sense of touch so she doesn't feel pain much.
Enhanced Form;; Since her limbs are basically that of robotic nature, she has no real human muscles in the least under her flesh like skin. Instead, she actually has a form of muscles that does not strain with pain like most humans have. She can run faster, almost as fast as a horse. Her jumping ability, can actually make her jump high like a frog. While her dexterity and speed at striking or moving, is like that of a deadly snake. As for her strength, she basically has the strength that is like iron, able to break stone or rock with her fists if she wanted to.
Mod Brain;; In order to save her brain from dying or even furthering decay, the people who helped remade her ended up putting special computer chips inside of her brain. Making the one only human organ, besides a few other parts, a combination of technology and organic matter. Cause of this, Ash actually has a port at the base of the back of her head, where her brain would be, where she can pull out a special cord to hook up into any tech. At the same time, she can hook something up into her brain if she wanted to there. With this brain as well, she can also see all or any messages or recordings through the inside layer of her robotic eyes. Even playing videos if she wanted to. If she wanted to, she could also send messages or voice messages with just thinking it in her head through the connection.[Think of Ghost in the Shell series if you will]
Weakness: Now for the downside to these great implantation's in her body. For one, is that the skin used to make Ash look normal, is very sensitive, if she is not careful she can actually ruin her skin. Showing the metal parts of her underneath, so in this case, Ash still has to do daily life like a human. Meaning, taking showers, eating, making sure she keeps herself in good care. Another one, would be that cause her heart is a robotic part, the one keeping her blood--and yes the blood in her body is her own and completely human with no changes--moving through her body. She actually has to go through a type of 'Sleep Mode' in order to keep her heart charged as well as body. This is a double header. When in sleep mode, she is unable to hear, move, or do anything. She can't even wake up on the fly, until her charge is completely done with. Due to this, she tends to charge herself once a week, in order to make sure she is in top form.
Sometimes, overworking her body with her job, as well as using her enhancements pass a human limits, can also make her burn energy. Ash is completely mortal in the sense where she still needs to breathe, her lungs a combination of tech and organic pieces like her brain. Due to this, if she was to drown, and suck water inside, she can actually burn out her body to passing out. She could hold her breath longer then normal, but on her brain for lack of air, she can only do so long as a minute or two. And last but not least, the major weakness that she has, is of course anything dealing with electricity. Yes, it helps powers her, but if she was to get shocked with a large enough voltage, it will end up shutting her down. Putting her brain in a type of sleep mode to try and regulate the energy that was forced through her system. If another one happened, then Ash is dead and gone.
History
The life that Astrid Aragon had, was a simple one. One that had its ups and downs, like any ones life in the great technological cities of today. The thing though, her life wasn't a happy one. With a abusive father, and a mother that was always making excuses for her drunk beating husband, never really stood up for her young daughter. Hell, when Astrid became older, it soon came apparent that her mother wasn't going to do ANYTHING to help her out. So she struck out on her own. At the age of ten, she learned out to shoplift by herself. Taking what she wanted from the stores, not even their technology catching her, as she walked away with new toys or stuff she wanted. Then at the age of thirteen, she learned about how to pickpocket people. All those little thievery that she did, all had one outcome. To get away from what her father did to her mother. But then it ended. Her father soon took notice of his little girl, of how she didn't back down or look afraid. At the age of fourteen, is when she was struck by his fists for the first time. The pain was intense for her, when she was young. Yet that didn't keep her down.
Over and over, Astrid lived through it, letting it fuel her hatred for the man who apparently sired her. As a year went by, the young girl soon enough cracked. When her father was soon enough about to do something more, noticing her that she was a woman, coming at her as not his daughter. Is when she struck. Using his razor that was nearby, she went and slashed out at him. Injured, the drunken man, in a rage went at his daughter. Using his bottle, he bashed in her head, as well as broken all of her bones. Passing out, the last thing she saw, was her wimp of a mother stabbing her father in the back over and over.
The next thing Astrid knew, is that she woken up in the hospital. The difference though, was that she wasn't all 'Together' in a sense. When she awoke, it was while inside of a tube. Connected to every type of cord to keep her living, she was soon told she was to become a test subject for something great. A way to save her life. As always, Astrid allowed what they did to her. The test, came from none other then the Tormod Company and family. Using her as a way to try and improve the cybernetic field they ruled. After three years, it was a success. Astrid was reborn, a new body, a new look. Yet with the same mind and everything inside of that metal body of hers.
At the end of it, she soon took up the name Ash, instead of Astrid. Saying that she rose from the ashes new, and more powerful then before. It was also at that moment, she learned of the sacrifice she made, when she was save. Her body was literally owned by the Tornmod family. And with their blessing and a joint contract, she was put out to the Royal Confederacy. Going through harsh training, at the age of twenty, she was now one of them. She was their Assassin. Sent in, to take out people that held magic. Something that normal soldiers would have trouble with. Through it all, she became hooked on it. The thrill of harming others. It was true in a sense. She was her father's daughter after all.
Extra
Like a snake, Ash has a strange habit of always sticking her tongue out to taste the air, or even to lick stuff. Sometimes licks her victims before she hurts them. Or in this case, licks their blood off of them or her blade.
Ash tends to hate listening to orders, but does them. At the same time, she works solo, never with a group unless she was ordered to.
