█ █ ╫ A F F E C T A T I O N ╫
█HEIGHT ▬ 4'10" █WEIGHT ▬ 85 lbs
█HAIR ▬ Brown █CLOTHING ▬ She tends towards baggy clothes, though, keeps them clean █ACCESSORIES ▬ Glasses, heavily tinted and are more like goggles. Transition tinting. Her eyesight is not great and her photosensitivity is such that normal lighting hurts her eyes and bright lighting effectively blinds her without her glasses. She also has normal glasses for use in dim to no lighting. █EYES ▬ Brown █BUILD ▬ Petite █TATTOOS ▬ N/A █SCARS ▬ N/A █MARKINGS/FAUNUS FEATURES ▬ She seldom shows hers, but, she does have a scorpion tail, complete with stinger, hence, the baggy clothes
█ █ ╫ A R C H E T Y P E ╫
█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Coding (Both in building programs from codes and hacking) Military or Government grade systems are very unlikely to be hackable. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Poisoned sting Her tail can inject a strong poison. By no means is it instantly fatal or will invariably lead to severe/life-threatening states, but, unless her target has a counter to the poison, they will not be having a good day. Symptoms include extreme pain at the injection site and swelling, headaches, nausea, vomiting, cramps, and convulsions.. 2 posts for activation, 5 posts to leave system. 1:5 cooldown (IMPORTANT NOTE: If this is used on another player, I will discuss how severe the symptoms would be with the player before deciding) Furthermore, she is a Death Stalker kind of Scorpion and is immune to her own toxin. █Other Talents ▬ Tinkering, she is quite adept at building mechanical things and refitting them. Intelligence - Widget has a remarkable capacity for understanding complex topics, retaining information, and learning. There are certainly others more capable than her, but, she finds it much easier to learn, understand, and recall things than your average person. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ Intelligence Gathering. One of the things she is best at is finding information, whether in a physical format, such as books or analyzing something she sees, or in a digital one such as a data search. █Weakest Skill ▬ Physically fighting. She is small and rather weak physically. While her tail supplements this to a degree, in a head-on fight, she is not very capable Photosensitivity - Without her goggles, she's effectively blinded by any lighting above dim lighting. █Other Skills ▬ Analytics - She is good at observing a situation and processing pros and cons of it on the spot.
Natural Techie: Heavily technical things are her bread and butter, while she may not learn them instantly, she does learn them rather quickly as she has a natural aptitude for them.
Walking Encyclopedia: While she may not know everything, she does often surprise others with random bits of information she's learned and retained. █LIKES █ ▬ Playing video games, and working on her own █ ▬ People?! Umm...maybe the ones she joins in games? And doesn't need to talk to? █ ▬ Junk Food and Energy Drinks █ ▬ Her modified Scroll █ ▬ Anything small and fluffy █DISLIKES █ ▬ People (As in she's nervous around them) █ ▬ Sour foods █ ▬ Broken Tech █ ▬ Bugs █ ▬ Being Judged about her tail or her (self-proclaimed) ineptitude at pretty much any physical task. █ ▬ Being Associated with Deathstalkers (Grimm) █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ Incredibly introverted and a bit skittish. █Vernacular ▬ She tends to speak quietly and with few words, but, if you manage to get her going, she can lose track and speak in a vocabulary that is discernibly higher than that used in casual conversation. █Positive Traits ▬ She is ultimately caring and incredibly intelligent, and, despite her anxiety, she's determined. █Negative Traits ▬ Socially, she's a total mess. She is nervous around others and fears judgement.

█BACKGROUND ▬ Scarlet is an Orphan. She lost her father on a Grimm Hunt as he was a Huntsman by trade and her mother died of illness prior to that. But, this left her alone and shipped to an orphanage at the age of six. It was a nightmare for the young girl. There were not many faunus at the orphanage and all of them were cute in some way. Bunny ears, cat ears, squirrel tails and the like. She was the only one who broke that mold and her carapaced and jointed tail, ending in a poisonous barb made her the target of much scorn and harassment from the human orphans and even some of the staff. If a child became sick, the first reaction was often to check if she'd stung them. And no one wanted to adopt such a freakish girl.
Over the years, the constant bullying and neglect caused her to distance herself from the others, turning to the computers they kept. The staff, seeing her voluntarily separating herself from the other orphans, were all too happy to leave her to her own devices at the computers. She started off lurking in forums, learning this and that, gradually opening up as she learned that she could be anonymous there. As time passed, she began to develop an interest in the machines that allowed her to escape the tortures of her real life and she began to delve into programming and building computers. Her whole life started revolving around tech and she eventually earned enough money from offering help in coding on projects to build her own computer. From there, she began to isolate herself in the separate room assigned to her and she transitioned to spending her nights awake, lights off with only her monitor lighting the dark, windowless room, and sleeping in the day, forgoing the heavily tinted goggles she normally wore due to her photosensitivity.
As she learned more and more, her focus expanded to simply learning before she discovered cybernetics. Her normally random browsing and data searching started focusing on this fascinating field that held so much promise for merging the machines that brought her such relief and herself. Sadly, eventually, being old enough that there was no chance of adoption, she was eventually told to pack up and leave. No money, no family, no job, and no place to stay, as much as she felt she wasn't suited for it, she decided to enroll at Beacon. At least there, she could have a roof and food until she could pull her life together. And maybe...just maybe...the training could help her at least feel average in terms of physical capability and make her stronger.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Exodus MKII █ ▬ Exoskeletal Armor. It's modular design keeps it adaptable for specializing to a task or for enhancing it with newly developed gear in the future. It has a sword for the right hand and a .50 caliber rotating cannon the left. With it, she can lift up to 400 lbs and hit harder than she could otherwise. Self-contained armored power supply located on the back. Powered off, she is still mobile in it, but, her offensive capability is severely limited. Recent Additions: Medium Alloy plating and an Enclosed Cockpit (Stock components from Manufacturer upon replacement of original suit). Modifications:Integrated subdermal anti-personnel defense grid. A wired grid underneath the plating that, when activated, discharges an electrical pulse to electrocute organisms and opponents in direct contact with her suit. The interior is insulated to protect the operator and machine components inside. (3 uses) This portion, while started, is not yet functional, only the insulation portion is complete. The gun arm also comes equipped with a flamethrower powered by Dust. (5 use protected canister) Range of the Flamethrower is 10 feet with a max spread of 3 feet. 1 post = 1 use. Due to the specific compounds involved other than simply Dust in this weapon's munition system, the canister is rather large, meaning she can only really bring the one loaded in along as it would take machinery to load in another. █Melee Form ▬ The sword she has equipped on the left arm is roughly 7 feet long (extends from the elbow joint onward) and comes with a counter-weighted arm to make it possible to move without the suit being powered. It has a dust cartridge slot to allow the channeling of, specifically, electricity through the arm, much like a stun gun. (3 uses per cartridge) █Ranged Form ▬ The cannon can fire up to a rate of sixty rounds per minute and fires .50 caliber rounds She also has a specialized drum that can hold dust rounds which act much like explosive rounds, firing from the chamber and detonating in a one foot cloud of elemental damage on impact. █Other Form(s) ▬ Flamethrower █Ammo Type ▬ 20 Physical Round capacity stored in a drum mag with one refill drum on each leg █ ▬ The power source is outdated and a cobbled together mimic of the original for now, and is only really usable for about 6 posts in total, 3 if really pushed, of usage. It is an electric dust-charged motor. While it can recharge, it does so slowly, taking 3 posts to charge back up. Each cartridge of dust gives it 2 charges
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Standard 15-round clip semi-auto .45 pistol with dual attachment rails and threading for an attached silencer. █ ▬ Kinetic-charged stun baton. A lever on the handle can be squeezed 10 times to charge up a one-time electrical discharge. Charge time 1 post. The charge of this is supposed to just be enough to momentarily stun the average person, locking up their muscles for just a moment. As in 1 post duration. Key word here is Average. This is not guaranteed to work and she uses it more to make her opponent pause so she can put some distance between her and them.
Those with a resistance to electricity, nerve damage, or a highly developed pain threshold are examples of those who may be either unaffected, or have the effect mitigated from the stun baton. █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Modified Scroll: The modifications made to it are nothing extreme or out there. She has a knack with electronics and has repeatedly disassembled her scroll and simply upgrade. Rewiring, replacing parts to optimize it, and over clocking it to function better and faster than stock. █ ▬ An analogue portable gaming system █ ▬ Goggles

█*NAME ▬ Datamine █*AURA COLOR ▬ Neon Green █*DESCRIPTION Her semblance focuses on intelligence gathering, allowing her heightened senses and, eventually, direct interfacing with machines and hijacking tech or organic senses █ ▬ (General Description: In the 3 following bullets please describe how your semblance improves over levels) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Enhanced Senses. With her Semblance, she can see in almost absolute darkness and can see up to 3 times further than the average person. In addition, her sense of smell and hearing are 5 times more sensitive. For every post she uses it, she needs to spend a post recovering up to a max of six posts. With this active, she can hear even a whisper from up to 15 feet away or pick up specific scents unique to others that most may not be able to sense.(0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Sensory Interface. At second level, she is able to possess another organic creature's senses of sight, hearing, and smell for up to ten minutes (2 posts). Sentient beings can resist it and force her out if she attempts and she acquires the same sensitivity of that creature. Her ability does not rob her target of these senses, it is more like she taps into them and shares the input. Sentient beings WILL be able to tell if she attempts this on them. Range of activation is 50 feet, range of sustainability is up to 500 feet. Cooldown of 6 posts. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Interface. She can now directly interface with a machine as long as she remains in constant physical contact with it. She can maintain this for up to 6 posts and requires an equivalent length of time to recover. Duration of Sensory Interface extended to (4 posts) Interface (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Tech-Override. She is able to override tech, neutral, friendly, or hostile as long as she remains within thirty feet of it. ((Post attempting may include dice roll to determine success with result in following post)) She can maintain this for up to 8 posts, needing one post per sustained post to recover. Many defense systems are divided into isolated circuits that connect to a central controlling system. She can Hijack a full circuit at once, but, she cannot control every device on it simultaneously. While she can instantaneously swap from controlling one to another (requiring a post to do so), she can only control one at a time while disabling the rest. She can also jump from a hijacked circuit to another system outside of that Circuit, but, it would need a second roll to do so. An already compromised system can be jumped back into without a reroll provided she jumped from it to another system and back during the same 8-post period. Sensory Interface duration extended to (6 posts) (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her semblance requires her to be fairly close to tech to affect it and, while using Sensory Interface, she is vulnerable as she does not retain her own of these three senses while overriding her target's. She is also limited to the sensory sensitivity of the target. She must start within visual range of her target or must know then very well to start the override. She does retain her own sense of touch however. To override Tech requires great focus, meaning she cannot attack or strategize while overriding and maintaining, to the point of transitioning machines into new areas is not very feasible.
She can only receive information in this manner, information that she may not have the ability to use. Her brain is not a super computer and does not process things as fast as one. She is also limited to a human memory. She is also limited in understanding based on the information she has. She cannot auto-decode things she does not know the systems to, such as cyphers or coding systems she is unfamiliar with, which would likely be military, rebel, government, or newly developed systems. No tech-based ability is instantaneous aside from simply interfacing with them, but, if the system is protected, she will still need to hack it, which takes time. The entire premise of this is her nervous system functions differently due to her semblance. Data is a sting of electrical impulses sent through a conductor to a system designed to process the information. Her nerves are these conductors and her brain is capable of processing the electrical impulses into something coherent to her. Furthermore, her own senses are biologically prioritized when she interacts with machines. So, excessive input will disrupt her abilities. Physical shock from an attack, excessive noise, something that strongly affects her sense of smell, etc. She can still function, however, for two posts, she is sluggish and disoriented. Removing her goggles is crippling in lighted environments as her photosensitivity leaves her blinded in more than dim lighting.
The difference between Tech-Override and Interface is Override lets her control the system whereas interface allows her to view the system. She can process the information as though she is looking at a monitor, but, Override takes it a step further allowing her to essentially hijack the system to control it.
If we cannot determine effectiveness of her attempts to hijack a system through discussion, I am willing to do Dice v Dice against another player to decide the outcome, or, essentially a skill check set by crew for a system on a mission.
If no set system is settled on, I will roll 1D20. Below will be default difficulty scales.
►►►VS Average or below skill Personal or Basic commercial (The average Joe dabbling in setting up their own systems without advanced formal education or individual shop tier business systems) Result of above 5 = Success
►►►VS Educated individual to Mid-Tier Business (Someone who is trained and educated in the design of the system or a local non-corporate significant office/warehouse) Result of above 10 = Success
►►►VS Higher-tier Business or non-critical government grade systems (Regional, District, or Headquarters sites or immediate Access Government systems such as Police, Mail, or other Public Services, this also extends to Private Security systems for individuals in government, such as one's personal laptop, but not something that would be kept secure on site in a government facility) Result of above 15 = Success
Military-Grade or Critical Government Systems are beyond her capability and anything infused with an Aura must have the Aura dispersed before she can even have a chance to succeed
█HAIR ▬ Brown █CLOTHING ▬ She tends towards baggy clothes, though, keeps them clean █ACCESSORIES ▬ Glasses, heavily tinted and are more like goggles. Transition tinting.

By no means is it instantly fatal or will invariably lead to severe/life-threatening states, but, unless her target has a counter to the poison, they will not be having a good day. Symptoms range from horrible queasiness, fever, vomiting, severe pain and inflammation, to disorientation blurred vision, and impaired motor control. (IMPORTANT NOTE: If this is used on another player, I will discuss how severe the symptoms would be with the player before deciding) █Other Talents ▬ Tinkering, she is quite adept at building mechanical things and refitting them. Cybernetics, She has become quite interested in the sciences involved in merging man and machine and is obsessed with seeing how she can utilize it. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ Intelligence Gathering.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Exodus █ ▬ Exoskeletal Armor. It's modular design keeps it adaptable for specializing to a task or for enhancing it with newly developed gear in the future. For now though, it is simply an alloy exoskeletal frame with a sword for the right hand and a small-caliber cannon the left. With it, she can lift up to three times her weight and hit harder than she could otherwise. It's power source was based off old Atlas mech designs she'd found with the powersource located behind her and the only part that is regularly armored, though, she can attach plates to the rest at the cost of extra weight lifting capability.

Hi there, my name is Apathy and I'll be judging your profile today! X Archetype XXX ○ Coding Talent: As you mentioned it, military and government-grade systems will likely be unhackable. If a circumstance arises where you are curious or would like to try, please do consult the crew on this matter. This includes systems within Beacon itself as it is essentially a military-oriented school. XXX ○ Poisoned Sting: Please specify how many posts it takes for this poison to both take effect and how long it will take to cycle out of their system. XXX ○ A note for Tinkering and Cybernetics: As we do not have a specified item system yet, creating actual functional items for things such as combat will not currently be an option. However, it still is a great skill for repurposing or reconstructing. This applies for cybernetics as well, and if a cybernetic is necessary, we will go through a reapproval process in order to receive the constructed cybernetic. You are more than welcome to keep these skills as they will be incredibly useful as we continue to refine and introduce new systems, but just keep in mind that you may not be able to use them to the full intended use at this time. XXX ○ Other Skills: Nothing wrong here! I just wanted to let you know that you're welcome to add TWO more additional skills if you'd like to. We do have a max of three, after all! If you're leaving these out intentionally, then ignore this note.
X Weapon XXX ○ If you ever intend to add or enhance your weapon as you specified in the description, any upgrades from this base concept will need to go through approval. XXX ○ Melee & Ranged Form: While I understand you did include some details about both weapons in your description, I do need you to touch basis on the specifics of each additional weapon with this Exoskeleton. Such as the length of the sword and along with any effects that may have. Likewise, explain the cannon in further detail. Firing rate, the impact of shots, so on and so forth. Also, does this weapon gain any perks when utilizing dust? XXX ○ Can you please specify how long the exoskeleton can be powered in posts? As actual minutes and hours is a very loose concept here, given a single day can take multiple months in real time. How does it replenish its power source, as well? Does it experience a cooldown where it must recharge? A possible recommendation, if you're open to it. A majority of devices within the RWBY universe are powered by dust. Actually, that's the fuel source to my knowledge. Perhaps the initial power supply can be powered, enhanced or recharged at the cost of your allotted dust supplies. Meaning the exoskeleton gains a number of active post per dust expended. An idea to think about. Meanwhile, I do still need those specifics.
Then as a general curiosity, how exactly is the scroll modified?
X Semblance XXX ○ Enhanced Senses: • While I understand that Scarlet is based on a nocturnal faunus, their night vision will not be more capable than another faunus. Elsewise that would count as your faunus ability. On that topic, I don't believe you worded that portion right. " her sight is even more sensitive at night." gives the impression that her eyes are more sensitive to hazards, rather than say a nose having a more acute sense of smell by being more sensitive. In terms of sight, it usually means light sensitivity. So being more sensitive at night would more likely obscure her vision rather than amplify it. All that being said, I have nothing against your sight being increased with the use of your semblance. I only wanted to make those points clear. • Can you give a more accurate example of how sensitive your smell and hearing become? How in a spacial reference would that aid her? • I would like to restrict the cooldown a bit more than it is presently because currently, as a starter ability it has a lot of leeway with little reprecaution. Would you be willing to take a 1 for 1 in terms of posts to cooldown? Still allowing the maximum of a 6 post active use but with a 6 post max cooldown. • When recovering, is she still capable of fighting and operating? Or does she suffer some means of negative effect after utilizing this ability? Please elaborate! XXX ○ Sensory Override: What happens to the victim when their senses are overridden? Do they lose their abilities of sight, hearing, and smell? Or do they continue to operate without being none the wiser? Do they have a method of knowing they're being overridden? I would like some indication so that they actually have an opportunity to combat back against this override, as specified in your ability. I also need a method of range on this ability. I'd personally prefer touch, similar to your interface ability. Perhaps at level 2 she gains the ability to conduct a sensory override at a distance. Whichever manner we decide to go with, I need a measurement of space if it isn't physical contact. Lastly! How long does the backlash of being forced out impact her? "Sentient beings can resist it and force her out if she attempts and she acquires the same sensitivity of that creature." XXX ○ I need a bit more clarification on both Interface and Tech-Override. • Is there any difference between Interface and Tech-Override? Or is it just the same ability but with a distance factor? If there are any other differences between the abilities, please specify! • Do these only give her the means to acquire information from them? That's what you specify in the drawbacks, however, the abilities themselves feel like they could lead to something else. Perhaps it is merely misreading, but I wanted to verify if it was more so an information hack/datamine [... like the name, haha] or if it was more of a Sombra hack from overwatch where she completely seizes its operation? I'm pretty confident in the datamine, but it never hurts to get additional verification! XXX ○ I need more cooldowns from you! You only provided a cooldown for the very first ability. Please provide cooldowns in accordance with each level. If a device Scarlet is attempting to override is infused with the aura of another, she would not be able to successfully override it. Consider it a means of aura protection on that device that combats the semblance itself. Of course, if there's no active use of aura with that device, then the override is free for the taking by the limitations of your semblance. An example of why I'm implementing this is similar to something with a character of my own. She possesses the ability of decay, however, if she's attempting to decay something that is infused with aura, it must first bypass the aura before it can actually decay that object.
XXX ○ Let me know if you have any questions, or simply when you've updated and made your changes! I'll be here to help with anything. Thank you for your patience!

You are more than welcome to keep these skills as they will be incredibly useful as we continue to refine and introduce new systems, but just keep in mind that you may not be able to use them to the full intended use at this time. XXX ○ Other Skills: Nothing wrong here! I just wanted to let you know that you're welcome to add TWO more additional skills if you'd like to. We do have a max of three, after all! If you're leaving these out intentionally, then ignore this note.
X Weapon XXX ○ If you ever intend to add or enhance your weapon as you specified in the description, any upgrades from this base concept will need to go through approval. XXX ○ Melee & Ranged Form: While I understand you did include some details about both weapons in your description, I do need you to touch basis on the specifics of each additional weapon with this Exoskeleton. Such as the length of the sword and along with any effects that may have. Likewise, explain the cannon in further detail. Firing rate, the impact of shots, so on and so forth. Also, does this weapon gain any perks when utilizing dust? XXX ○ Can you please specify how long the exoskeleton can be powered in posts? As actual minutes and hours is a very loose concept here, given a single day can take multiple months in real time. How does it replenish its power source, as well? Does it experience a cooldown where it must recharge? A possible recommendation, if you're open to it. A majority of devices within the RWBY universe are powered by dust. Actually, that's the fuel source to my knowledge. Perhaps the initial power supply can be powered, enhanced or recharged at the cost of your allotted dust supplies. Meaning the exoskeleton gains a number of active post per dust expended. An idea to think about. Meanwhile, I do still need those specifics.
Then as a general curiosity, how exactly is the scroll modified?
X Semblance XXX ○ Enhanced Senses: • While I understand that Scarlet is based on a nocturnal faunus, their night vision will not be more capable than another faunus. Elsewise that would count as your faunus ability. On that topic, I don't believe you worded that portion right. " her sight is even more sensitive at night." gives the impression that her eyes are more sensitive to hazards, rather than say a nose having a more acute sense of smell by being more sensitive. In terms of sight, it usually means light sensitivity. So being more sensitive at night would more likely obscure her vision rather than amplify it. All that being said, I have nothing against your sight being increased with the use of your semblance. I only wanted to make those points clear. • Can you give a more accurate example of how sensitive your smell and hearing become? How in a spacial reference would that aid her? • I would like to restrict the cooldown a bit more than it is presently because currently, as a starter ability it has a lot of leeway with little reprecaution. Would you be willing to take a 1 for 1 in terms of posts to cooldown? Still allowing the maximum of a 6 post active use but with a 6 post max cooldown. • When recovering, is she still capable of fighting and operating? Or does she suffer some means of negative effect after utilizing this ability? Please elaborate! XXX ○ Sensory Override: What happens to the victim when their senses are overridden? Do they lose their abilities of sight, hearing, and smell? Or do they continue to operate without being none the wiser? Do they have a method of knowing they're being overridden? I would like some indication so that they actually have an opportunity to combat back against this override, as specified in your ability. I also need a method of range on this ability. I'd personally prefer touch, similar to your interface ability. Perhaps at level 2 she gains the ability to conduct a sensory override at a distance. Whichever manner we decide to go with, I need a measurement of space if it isn't physical contact. Lastly! How long does the backlash of being forced out impact her? "Sentient beings can resist it and force her out if she attempts and she acquires the same sensitivity of that creature." XXX ○ I need a bit more clarification on both Interface and Tech-Override. • Is there any difference between Interface and Tech-Override? Or is it just the same ability but with a distance factor? If there are any other differences between the abilities, please specify! • Do these only give her the means to acquire information from them? That's what you specify in the drawbacks, however, the abilities themselves feel like they could lead to something else. Perhaps it is merely misreading, but I wanted to verify if it was more so an information hack/datamine [... like the name, haha] or if it was more of a Sombra hack from overwatch where she completely seizes its operation? I'm pretty confident in the datamine, but it never hurts to get additional verification! XXX ○ I need more cooldowns from you! You only provided a cooldown for the very first ability. Please provide cooldowns in accordance with each level. If a device Scarlet is attempting to override is infused with the aura of another, she would not be able to successfully override it. Consider it a means of aura protection on that device that combats the semblance itself. Of course, if there's no active use of aura with that device, then the override is free for the taking by the limitations of your semblance. An example of why I'm implementing this is similar to something with a character of my own. She possesses the ability of decay, however, if she's attempting to decay something that is infused with aura, it must first bypass the aura before it can actually decay that object.
XXX ○ Let me know if you have any questions, or simply when you've updated and made your changes! I'll be here to help with anything. Thank you for your patience!
I went ahead and added examples and detailed things more, as for the minutes, the post counts were always there, I did bold them this time though, and the difference between interface and override are interface, she can sense the information going through the machine. She cannot disrupt it or manipulate it at this point. It's more useful for things like tapping into information feeds and observing than actively participating in the function of the machine.
Amendment: I noticed where I messed up with the post counts and fixed it
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2019 1:05 am
I can remove minute counts if needed, I simply use them more for flavor text I guess btw

█BACKGROUND ▬ Scarlet is an Orphan. She lost her father on a Grimm Hunt as he was a Huntsman by trade and her mother died of illness prior to that. But, this left her alone and shipped to an orphanage at the age of six. It was a nightmare for the young girl. There were not many faunus at the orphanage and all of them were cute in some way. Bunny ears, cat ears, squirrel tails and the like. She was the only one who broke that mold and her carapaced and jointed tail, inding in a poisonous barb made her the target of much scorn and harassment from the human orphans and even some of the staff. If a child became sick, the first reaction was often to check if she'd stung them. And no one wanted to adopt such a freakish girl.
Over the years, the constant bullying and neglect caused her to distance herself from the others, turning to the computers they kept. The staff, seeing her voluntarily separating herself from the other orphans, were all too happy to leave her to her own devices at the computers. She started off lurking in forums, learning this and that, gradually opening up as she learned that she could be anonymous there. As time passed, she began to develop an interest in the machines that allowed her to escape the tortures of her real life and she began to delve into programming and building computers. Her whole life started revolving around tech and she eventually earned enough money from offering help in coding on projects to build her own computer. From there, she began to isolate herself in the separate room assigned to her and she transitioned to spending her nights awake, lights off with only her monitor lighting the dark, windowless room, and sleeping in the day, forgoing the heavily tinted goggles she normally wore due to her photosensitivity.
As she learned more and more, her focus expanded to simply learning before she discovered cybernetics. Her normally random browsing and data searching started focusing on this fascinating field that held so much promise for merging the machines that brought her such relief and herself. Sadly, eventually, being old enough that there was no chance of adoption, she was eventually told to pack up and leave. No money, no family, no job, and no place to stay, as much as she felt she wasn't suited for it, she decided to enroll at Beacon. At least there, she could have a roof and food until she could pull her life together. And maybe...just maybe...the training could help her at least feel average in terms of physical capability and make her stronger.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Exodus █ ▬ Exoskeletal Armor. It's modular design keeps it adaptable for specializing to a task or for enhancing it with newly developed gear in the future. For now though, it is simply an alloy exoskeletal frame with a sword for the right hand and a small-caliber cannon the left. With it, she can lift up to three times her weight and hit harder than she could otherwise. It's power source was based off old Atlas mech designs she'd found with the powersource located behind her and the only part that is regularly armored, though, she can attach plates to the rest at the cost of extra weight lifting capability. Powered off, she is still mobile int it, but, her offensive capability is severely limited. █Melee Form ▬ The sword she has equipped on the left arm is roughly 7 feet long (extends from the elbow joint onward) and comes with a counter-weighted arm to make it possible to move without the suit being powered. It has a dust cartridge slot to allow the channeling of, specifically, electricity through the arm, much like a stun gun. (3 uses per cartridge) █Ranged Form ▬ The cannon can fire up to a rate of sixty rounds per minute and fires .50 calibre rounds She also has a specialized drum that can hold dust rounds which act much like explosive rounds, firing from the chamber and detonating in a three foot cloud of elemental damage on impact. █Other Form(s) ▬ (Additional Forms) █Ammo Type ▬ 20 Physical Round capacity stared in a drum mag with one refill drum on the leg █ ▬ The power source is outdated and a cobbled together mimic of the original for now, and is only really usable for about 6 posts in total, 3 if really pushed, of usage. It is an electric dust-charged motor. While it can recharge, it does so slowly, taking 3 posts to charge back up. Each cartridge of dust gives it 2 charges
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Standard 17-round clip semi-auto handgun █ ▬ Kinetic-charged stun baton. A lever on the handle can be squeezed 10 times to charge up a one-time electrical discharge. Charge time 1 post. The charge of this is supposed to just be enough to momentarily stun the average person, locking up their muscles for just a moment. As in 1 post duration. Key word here is Average. This is not guaranteed to work and she uses it more to make her opponent pause so she can put some distance between her and them.
Those with a resistance to electricity, nerve damage, or a highly developed pain threshold are examples of those who may be either unaffected, or have the effect mitigated from the stun baton. █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Modified Scroll: The modifications made to it are nothing extreme or out there. She has a knack with electronics and has repeatedly disassembled her scroll and simply upgrade. Rewiring, replacing parts to optimize it, and over clocking it to function better and faster than stock. █ ▬ An analogue portable gaming system █ ▬ Goggles

█*NAME ▬ Datamine █*AURA COLOR ▬ Neon Green █*DESCRIPTION Her semblance focuses on intelligence gathering, allowing her heightened senses and, eventually, direct interfacing with machines and hijacking tech or organic senses █ ▬ (General Description: In the 3 following bullets please describe how your semblance improves over levels) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Enhanced Senses. Wth her Semblance, she can see in almost absolute darkness and can see up to 3 times further than the average person. In addition, her sense of smell and hearing are 5 times more sensitive. For every post she uses it, she needs to spend a post recovering up to a max of six posts. With this active, she can hear even a whisper from up to 15 feet away or pick up specific scents unique to others that most may not be able to sense.(0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Sensory Interface. At second level, she is able to possess another organic creature's senses of sight, hearing, and smell for up to ten minutes (2 posts). Sentient beings can resist it and force her out if she attempts and she acquires the same sensitivity of that creature. Her ability does not rob her target of these senses, it is more like she taps into them and shares the input. Sentient beings WILL be able to tell if she attempts this on them. Range of activation is 50 feet, range of sustainability is up to 500 feet. Cooldown of 6 posts. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Interface. She can now directly interface with a machine as long as she remains in constant physical contact with it. She can maintain this for up to 6 posts and requires an equivalent length of time to recover. Duration of Sensory Interface extended to (4 posts) Interface (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Tech-Override. She is able to override tech, neutral, friendly, or hostile as long as she remains within thirty feet of it. ((Post attempting may include dice roll to determine success with result in following post)) She can maintain this for up to 8 posts, needing one post per sustained post to recover. Many defense systems are divided into isolated circuits that connect to a central controlling system. She can Hijack a full circuit at once, but, she cannot control every device on it simultaneously. While she can instantaneously swap from controlling one to another (requiring a post to do so), she can only control one at a time while disabling the rest. She can also jump from a hijacked circuit to another system outside of that Circuit, but, it would need a second roll to do so. An already compromised system can be jumped back into without a reroll provided she jumped from it to another system and back during the same 8-post period. Sensory Interface duration extended to (6 posts) (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her semblance requires her to be fairly close to tech to affect it and, while using Sensory Interface, she is vulnerable as she does not retain her own of these three senses while overriding her target's. She is also limited to the sensory sensitivity of the target. She must start within visual range of her target or must know then very well to start the override. She does retain her own sense of touch however. To override Tech requires great focus, meaning she cannot attack or strategize while overriding and maintaining, to the point of transitioning machines into new areas is not very feasible.
She can only receive information in this manner, information that she may not have the ability to use. Her brain is not a super computer and does not process things as fast as one. She is also limited to a human memory. She is also limited in understanding based on the information she has. She cannot auto-decode things she does not know the systems to, such as cyphers or coding systems she is unfamiliar with, which would likely be military, rebel, government, or newly developed systems. No tech-based ability is instantaneous aside from simply interfacing with them, but, if the system is protected, she will still need to hack it, which takes time. The entire premise of this is her nervous system functions differently due to her semblance. Data is a sting of electrical impulses sent through a conductor to a system designed to process the information. Her nerves are these conductors and her brain is capable of processing the electrical impulses into something coherent to her. Furthermore, her own senses are biologically prioritized when she interacts with machines. So, excessive input will disrupt her abilities. Physical shock from an attack, excessive noise, something that strongly affects her sense of smell, etc. She can still function, however, for two posts, she is sluggish and disoriented. Removing her goggles is crippling in lighted environments as her photosensitivity leaves her blinded in more than dim lighting.
The difference between Tech-Override and Interface is Override lets her control the system whereas interface allows her to view the system. She can process the information as though she is looking at a monitor, but, Override takes it a step further allowing her to essentially hijack the system to control it.
If we cannot determine effectiveness of her attempts to hijack a system through discussion, I am willing to do Dice v Dice against another player to decide the outcome, or, essentially a skill check set by crew for a system on a mission.
If no set system is settled on, I will roll 1D20. Below will be default difficulty scales.

Military-Grade or Critical Government Systems are beyond her capability and anything infused with an Aura must have the Aura dispersed before she can even have a chance to succeed

Sentient beings can resist it and force her out if she attempts and she acquires the same sensitivity of that creature. Her ability does not rob her target of these senses, it is more like she taps into them and shares the input. Sentient beings WILL be able to tell if she attempts this on them. Range of activation is 50 feet, range of sustainability is up to 500 feet. Cooldown of 6 posts. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Interface. She can now directly interface with a machine as long as she remains in constant physical contact with it. She can maintain this for up to 6 posts and requires an equivalent length of time to recover. Duration of Sensory Interface extended to (4 posts) Interface (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Tech-Override. She is able to override tech, neutral, friendly, or hostile as long as she remains within thirty feet of it. ((Post attempting may include dice roll to determine success with result in following post)) She can maintain this for up to 8 posts, needing one post per sustained post to recover. Many defense systems are divided into isolated circuits that connect to a central controlling system. She can Hijack a full circuit at once, but, she cannot control every device on it simultaneously. While she can instantaneously swap from controlling one to another (requiring a post to do so), she can only control one at a time while disabling the rest. She can also jump from a hijacked circuit to another system outside of that Circuit, but, it would need a second roll to do so. An already compromised system can be jumped back into without a reroll provided she jumped from it to another system and back during the same 8-post period. Sensory Interface duration extended to (6 posts) (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her semblance requires her to be fairly close to tech to affect it and, while using Sensory Interface, she is vulnerable as she does not retain her own of these three senses while overriding her target's. She is also limited to the sensory sensitivity of the target. She must start within visual range of her target or must know then very well to start the override. She does retain her own sense of touch however. To override Tech requires great focus, meaning she cannot attack or strategize while overriding and maintaining, to the point of transitioning machines into new areas is not very feasible.
She can only receive information in this manner, information that she may not have the ability to use. Her brain is not a super computer and does not process things as fast as one. She is also limited to a human memory. She is also limited in understanding based on the information she has. She cannot auto-decode things she does not know the systems to, such as cyphers or coding systems she is unfamiliar with, which would likely be military, rebel, government, or newly developed systems. No tech-based ability is instantaneous aside from simply interfacing with them, but, if the system is protected, she will still need to hack it, which takes time. The entire premise of this is her nervous system functions differently due to her semblance. Data is a sting of electrical impulses sent through a conductor to a system designed to process the information. Her nerves are these conductors and her brain is capable of processing the electrical impulses into something coherent to her. Furthermore, her own senses are biologically prioritized when she interacts with machines. So, excessive input will disrupt her abilities. Physical shock from an attack, excessive noise, something that strongly affects her sense of smell, etc. She can still function, however, for two posts, she is sluggish and disoriented. Removing her goggles is crippling in lighted environments as her photosensitivity leaves her blinded in more than dim lighting.
The difference between Tech-Override and Interface is Override lets her control the system whereas interface allows her to view the system. She can process the information as though she is looking at a monitor, but, Override takes it a step further allowing her to essentially hijack the system to control it.
If we cannot determine effectiveness of her attempts to hijack a system through discussion, I am willing to do Dice v Dice against another player to decide the outcome, or, essentially a skill check set by crew for a system on a mission.
If no set system is settled on, I will roll 1D20. Below will be default difficulty scales.
►►►VS Average or below skill Personal or Basic commercial (The average JHoe dabbling in setting up their own systems without advanced formal education or individual shop tier business systems) Result of above 5 = Success
►►►VS Educated individual to Mid-Tier Business (Someone who is trained and educated in the design of the system or a local non-corporate significant office/warehouse) Result of above 10 = Success
►►►VS Higher-tier Business or non-critical government grade systems (Regional, District, or Headquarters sites or immediate Access Government systems such as Police, Mail, or other Public Services, this also extends to Private Security systems for individuals in government, such as one's personal laptop, but not something that would be kept secure on site in a government facility) Result of above 15 = Success
Military-Grade or Critical Government Systems are beyond her capability and anything infused with an Aura must have the Aura dispersed before she can even have a chance to succeed

Hi there, my name is Apathy and I'll be judging your profile today! X Archetype XXX ○ So I'm completely up for having Scarlet being immune to the toxins she produces herself, thus making it so others cannot harness her specific fluid or use her stinger against her. However due to scorpions having a variety of venom themselves, I cannot approve being immune to scorpion venom as a whole. However, if you'd like to specify what kind of scorpion she embodies, then we can make her immune to that trait of scorpion venom. That however will open a can of worms in complexity, so it may be best to say that she's simply immune to her own toxins.

Alright, specified her species type was a Death Stalker Scorpion and that she's immune to the toxin produced specifically by that kind of Scorpion and herself. Tweaked the effects to match with the symptoms that I saw listed for reactions to the sting of that kind of scorpion
█HAIR ▬ Brown █CLOTHING ▬ She tends towards baggy clothes, though, keeps them clean █ACCESSORIES ▬ Glasses, heavily tinted and are more like goggles. Transition tinting. Her eyesight is not great and her photosensitivity is such that normal lighting hurts her eyes and bright lighting effectively blinds her without her glasses. She also has normal glasses for use in dim to no lighting. █EYES ▬ Brown █BUILD ▬ Petite █TATTOOS ▬ N/A █SCARS ▬ N/A █MARKINGS/FAUNUS FEATURES ▬ She seldom shows hers, but, she does have a scorpion tail, complete with stinger, hence, the baggy clothes
█ █ ╫ A R C H E T Y P E ╫
█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Coding (Both in building programs from codes and hacking) Military or Government grade systems are very unlikely to be hackable. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Poisoned sting Her tail can inject a strong poison. By no means is it instantly fatal or will invariably lead to severe/life-threatening states, but, unless her target has a counter to the poison, they will not be having a good day. Symptoms include extreme pain at the injection site and swelling, headaches, nausea, vomiting, cramps, and convulsions.. 2 posts for activation, 5 posts to leave system.(IMPORTANT NOTE: If this is used on another player, I will discuss how severe the symptoms would be with the player before deciding) Furthermore,she is a Death Stalker kind of Scorpion and is immune to the toxin produced by this kind of scorpion and herself. █Other Talents ▬ Tinkering, she is quite adept at building mechanical things and refitting them. Cybernetics, She has become quite interested in the sciences involved in merging man and machine and is obsessed with seeing how she can utilize it. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ Intelligence Gathering. One of the things she is best at is finding information, whether in a physical format, such as books or analyzing something she sees, or in a digital one such as a data search. █Weakest Skill ▬ Physically fighting. She is small and rather weak physically. While her tail supplements this to a degree, in a head-on fight, she is not very capable █Other Skills ▬ Analytics - She is good at observing a situation and processing pros and cons of it on the spot.
Natural Techie: Heavily technical things are her bread and butter, while she may not learn them instantly, she does learn them rather quickly as she has a natural aptitude for them.
Walking Encyclopedia: While she may not know everything, she does often surprise others with random bits of information she's learned and retained. █LIKES █ ▬ Playing video games, and working on her own █ ▬ People?! Umm...maybe the ones she joins in games? And doesn't need to talk to? █ ▬ Junk Food and Energy Drinks █ ▬ Her modified Scroll █ ▬ Anything small and fluffy █DISLIKES █ ▬ People (As in she's nervous around them) █ ▬ Sour foods █ ▬ Broken Tech █ ▬ Bugs █ ▬ Being Judged about her tail or her (self-proclaimed) ineptitude at pretty much any physical task. █ ▬ Being Associated with Deathstalkers (Grimm) █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ Incredibly introverted and a bit skittish. █Vernacular ▬ She tends to speak quietly and with few words, but, if you manage to get her going, she can lose track and speak in a vocabulary that is discernibly higher than that used in casual conversation. █Positive Traits ▬ She is ultimately caring and incredibly intelligent, and, despite her anxiety, she's determined. █Negative Traits ▬ Socially, she's a total mess. She is nervous around others and fears judgement.
█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Scarlet is an Orphan. She lost her father on a Grimm Hunt as he was a Huntsman by trade and her mother died of illness prior to that. But, this left her alone and shipped to an orphanage at the age of six. It was a nightmare for the young girl. There were not many faunus at the orphanage and all of them were cute in some way. Bunny ears, cat ears, squirrel tails and the like. She was the only one who broke that mold and her carapaced and jointed tail, inding in a poisonous barb made her the target of much scorn and harassment from the human orphans and even some of the staff. If a child became sick, the first reaction was often to check if she'd stung them. And no one wanted to adopt such a freakish girl.
Over the years, the constant bullying and neglect caused her to distance herself from the others, turning to the computers they kept. The staff, seeing her voluntarily separating herself from the other orphans, were all too happy to leave her to her own devices at the computers. She started off lurking in forums, learning this and that, gradually opening up as she learned that she could be anonymous there. As time passed, she began to develop an interest in the machines that allowed her to escape the tortures of her real life and she began to delve into programming and building computers. Her whole life started revolving around tech and she eventually earned enough money from offering help in coding on projects to build her own computer. From there, she began to isolate herself in the separate room assigned to her and she transitioned to spending her nights awake, lights off with only her monitor lighting the dark, windowless room, and sleeping in the day, forgoing the heavily tinted goggles she normally wore due to her photosensitivity.
As she learned more and more, her focus expanded to simply learning before she discovered cybernetics. Her normally random browsing and data searching started focusing on this fascinating field that held so much promise for merging the machines that brought her such relief and herself. Sadly, eventually, being old enough that there was no chance of adoption, she was eventually told to pack up and leave. No money, no family, no job, and no place to stay, as much as she felt she wasn't suited for it, she decided to enroll at Beacon. At least there, she could have a roof and food until she could pull her life together. And maybe...just maybe...the training could help her at least feel average in terms of physical capability and make her stronger.
█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Exodus █ ▬ Exoskeletal Armor. It's modular design keeps it adaptable for specializing to a task or for enhancing it with newly developed gear in the future. For now though, it is simply an alloy exoskeletal frame with a sword for the right hand and a small-caliber cannon the left. With it, she can lift up to three times her weight and hit harder than she could otherwise. It's power source was based off old Atlas mech designs she'd found with the powersource located behind her and the only part that is regularly armored, though, she can attach plates to the rest at the cost of extra weight lifting capability. Powered off, she is still mobile int it, but, her offensive capability is severely limited. █Melee Form ▬ The sword she has equipped on the left arm is roughly 7 feet long (extends from the elbow joint onward) and comes with a counter-weighted arm to make it possible to move without the suit being powered. It has a dust cartridge slot to allow the channeling of, specifically, electricity through the arm, much like a stun gun. (3 uses per cartridge) █Ranged Form ▬ The cannon can fire up to a rate of sixty rounds per minute and fires .50 calibre rounds She also has a specialized drum that can hold dust rounds which act much like explosive rounds, firing from the chamber and detonating in a three foot cloud of elemental damage on impact. █Other Form(s) ▬ (Additional Forms) █Ammo Type ▬ 20 Physical Round capacity stared in a drum mag with one refill drum on the leg █ ▬ The power source is outdated and a cobbled together mimic of the original for now, and is only really usable for about 6 posts in total, 3 if really pushed, of usage. It is an electric dust-charged motor. While it can recharge, it does so slowly, taking 3 posts to charge back up. Each cartridge of dust gives it 2 charges
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Standard 17-round clip semi-auto handgun █ ▬ Kinetic-charged stun baton. A lever on the handle can be squeezed 10 times to charge up a one-time electrical discharge. Charge time 1 post. The charge of this is supposed to just be enough to momentarily stun the average person, locking up their muscles for just a moment. As in 1 post duration. Key word here is Average. This is not guaranteed to work and she uses it more to make her opponent pause so she can put some distance between her and them.
Those with a resistance to electricity, nerve damage, or a highly developed pain threshold are examples of those who may be either unaffected, or have the effect mitigated from the stun baton. █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Modified Scroll: The modifications made to it are nothing extreme or out there. She has a knack with electronics and has repeatedly disassembled her scroll and simply upgrade.

Hi there, my name is Apathy and I'll be judging your profile today! X Archetype XXX ○ So as we talked about briefly on Discord, and the discoveries that we found about scorpion venom being lethal to one another, I can only approve Scarlet being immune to her own venom that she produces herself. While it isn't the full immunity of Death Stalker scorpion, it still ensures that if she manages to sting herself or someone harnesses her venom, she'll be fine. I do apologize that this didn't work out as we hoped, but I thank you for your understanding all the same. Uniquely though, her venom could possibly be used to create an antivenom of the same. Perhaps with proper plotting, this could pose an interesting aspect in roleplay should we ever come to encounter an actual Death Stalker Grimm. Though it is something that will need to be run by the crew in the future as well.

She can maintain this for up to 6 posts and requires an equivalent length of time to recover. Duration of Sensory Interface extended to (4 posts) Interface (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Tech-Override. She is able to override tech, neutral, friendly, or hostile as long as she remains within thirty feet of it. ((Post attempting may include dice roll to determine success with result in following post)) She can maintain this for up to 8 posts, needing one post per sustained post to recover. Many defense systems are divided into isolated circuits that connect to a central controlling system. She can Hijack a full circuit at once, but, she cannot control every device on it simultaneously. While she can instantaneously swap from controlling one to another (requiring a post to do so), she can only control one at a time while disabling the rest. She can also jump from a hijacked circuit to another system outside of that Circuit, but, it would need a second roll to do so. An already compromised system can be jumped back into without a reroll provided she jumped from it to another system and back during the same 8-post period. Sensory Interface duration extended to (6 posts) (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her semblance requires her to be fairly close to tech to affect it and, while using Sensory Interface, she is vulnerable as she does not retain her own of these three senses while overriding her target's. She is also limited to the sensory sensitivity of the target. She must start within visual range of her target or must know then very well to start the override. She does retain her own sense of touch however. To override Tech requires great focus, meaning she cannot attack or strategize while overriding and maintaining, to the point of transitioning machines into new areas is not very feasible.
She can only receive information in this manner, information that she may not have the ability to use. Her brain is not a super computer and does not process things as fast as one. She is also limited to a human memory. She is also limited in understanding based on the information she has. She cannot auto-decode things she does not know the systems to, such as cyphers or coding systems she is unfamiliar with, which would likely be military, rebel, government, or newly developed systems. No tech-based ability is instantaneous aside from simply interfacing with them, but, if the system is protected, she will still need to hack it, which takes time. The entire premise of this is her nervous system functions differently due to her semblance. Data is a sting of electrical impulses sent through a conductor to a system designed to process the information. Her nerves are these conductors and her brain is capable of processing the electrical impulses into something coherent to her. Furthermore, her own senses are biologically prioritized when she interacts with machines. So, excessive input will disrupt her abilities. Physical shock from an attack, excessive noise, something that strongly affects her sense of smell, etc. She can still function, however, for two posts, she is sluggish and disoriented. Removing her goggles is crippling in lighted environments as her photosensitivity leaves her blinded in more than dim lighting.
The difference between Tech-Override and Interface is Override lets her control the system whereas interface allows her to view the system. She can process the information as though she is looking at a monitor, but, Override takes it a step further allowing her to essentially hijack the system to control it.
If we cannot determine effectiveness of her attempts to hijack a system through discussion, I am willing to do Dice v Dice against another player to decide the outcome, or, essentially a skill check set by crew for a system on a mission.
If no set system is settled on, I will roll 1D20. Below will be default difficulty scales.

█BACKGROUND ▬ Scarlet is an Orphan. She lost her father on a Grimm Hunt as he was a Huntsman by trade and her mother died of illness prior to that. But, this left her alone and shipped to an orphanage at the age of six. It was a nightmare for the young girl. There were not many faunus at the orphanage and all of them were cute in some way. Bunny ears, cat ears, squirrel tails and the like. She was the only one who broke that mold and her carapaced and jointed tail, ending in a poisonous barb made her the target of much scorn and harassment from the human orphans and even some of the staff. If a child became sick, the first reaction was often to check if she'd stung them. And no one wanted to adopt such a freakish girl.
Over the years, the constant bullying and neglect caused her to distance herself from the others, turning to the computers they kept. The staff, seeing her voluntarily separating herself from the other orphans, were all too happy to leave her to her own devices at the computers. She started off lurking in forums, learning this and that, gradually opening up as she learned that she could be anonymous there. As time passed, she began to develop an interest in the machines that allowed her to escape the tortures of her real life and she began to delve into programming and building computers. Her whole life started revolving around tech and she eventually earned enough money from offering help in coding on projects to build her own computer. From there, she began to isolate herself in the separate room assigned to her and she transitioned to spending her nights awake, lights off with only her monitor lighting the dark, windowless room, and sleeping in the day, forgoing the heavily tinted goggles she normally wore due to her photosensitivity.
As she learned more and more, her focus expanded to simply learning before she discovered cybernetics. Her normally random browsing and data searching started focusing on this fascinating field that held so much promise for merging the machines that brought her such relief and herself. Sadly, eventually, being old enough that there was no chance of adoption, she was eventually told to pack up and leave. No money, no family, no job, and no place to stay, as much as she felt she wasn't suited for it, she decided to enroll at Beacon. At least there, she could have a roof and food until she could pull her life together. And maybe...just maybe...the training could help her at least feel average in terms of physical capability and make her stronger.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Exodus █ ▬ Exoskeletal Armor. It's modular design keeps it adaptable for specializing to a task or for enhancing it with newly developed gear in the future. For now though, it is simply an alloy exoskeletal frame with a sword for the right hand and a small-caliber cannon the left. With it, she can lift up to three times her weight and hit harder than she could otherwise. It's power source was based off old Atlas mech designs she'd found with the power source located behind her and the only part that is regularly armored, though, she can attach plates to the rest at the cost of extra weight lifting capability. Powered off, she is still mobile in it, but, her offensive capability is severely limited. █Melee Form ▬ The sword she has equipped on the left arm is roughly 7 feet long (extends from the elbow joint onward) and comes with a counter-weighted arm to make it possible to move without the suit being powered. It has a dust cartridge slot to allow the channeling of, specifically, electricity through the arm, much like a stun gun. (3 uses per cartridge) █Ranged Form ▬ The cannon can fire up to a rate of sixty rounds per minute and fires .50 caliber rounds She also has a specialized drum that can hold dust rounds which act much like explosive rounds, firing from the chamber and detonating in a three foot cloud of elemental damage on impact. █Other Form(s) ▬ (Additional Forms) █Ammo Type ▬ 20 Physical Round capacity stared in a drum mag with one refill drum on the leg █ ▬ The power source is outdated and a cobbled together mimic of the original for now, and is only really usable for about 6 posts in total, 3 if really pushed, of usage. It is an electric dust-charged motor. While it can recharge, it does so slowly, taking 3 posts to charge back up. Each cartridge of dust gives it 2 charges
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Standard 15-round clip semi-auto .45 pistol with dual attachment rails and threading for an attached silencer. █ ▬ Kinetic-charged stun baton. A lever on the handle can be squeezed 10 times to charge up a one-time electrical discharge. Charge time 1 post. The charge of this is supposed to just be enough to momentarily stun the average person, locking up their muscles for just a moment. As in 1 post duration. Key word here is Average. This is not guaranteed to work and she uses it more to make her opponent pause so she can put some distance between her and them.

Whether that bodes good or ill for you is something we will see in our time together. While I usually have a knack for flair, i'll keep this much simple. I'll list any questions or concerns I have below on what needs to be done before we can get you approved, but i'll be free to contact on less... visible areas.
Judgement:
Archetype:
1. Don't have to, but can update your current partners now if you want.
Affectation:
2. 20 pounds underweight. Unless its expressed as a weakness, would say to bump up her weight.
Archetype:
3. Add "Blinded by sunlight" weakness she has into weakest skills as well instead of just mentioning in semblance/ rp alone. 4. Just so you know, she lacks a general intelligence talent/skill (since saw it mentioned for incredible intelligence in positive traits). While she is smart in the stuff specified with her skills/talents, as a student/ general intelligence it wouldn't extend as much (essentially not top grades students, but likely above average). Just so you know; not necessary to change anything here.
∰-Conclusion
This is all I currently see the need to change/ be clarified for now. This does not mean it shall be the end of it, as more questions may arise as we progress and I may have missed something. I am willing to be flexible on some thing if given good reason to, and i'll be open for any discussion you have or if you need any help with this. Thank you for your taking the time to go through this, and I will post another judgement if necessary once we've gone through all this. Hopefully this will be the only judgement needed, and you can fully begin your adventure in beacon...whether pleasant or otherwise. Feel free to contact me at any point... just send a message with the crows. ✘ Status: Inquiring ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄

((Post attempting may include dice roll to determine success with result in following post)) She can maintain this for up to 8 posts, needing one post per sustained post to recover. Many defense systems are divided into isolated circuits that connect to a central controlling system. She can Hijack a full circuit at once, but, she cannot control every device on it simultaneously. While she can instantaneously swap from controlling one to another (requiring a post to do so), she can only control one at a time while disabling the rest. She can also jump from a hijacked circuit to another system outside of that Circuit, but, it would need a second roll to do so. An already compromised system can be jumped back into without a reroll provided she jumped from it to another system and back during the same 8-post period. Sensory Interface duration extended to (6 posts) (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Her semblance requires her to be fairly close to tech to affect it and, while using Sensory Interface, she is vulnerable as she does not retain her own of these three senses while overriding her target's. She is also limited to the sensory sensitivity of the target. She must start within visual range of her target or must know then very well to start the override. She does retain her own sense of touch however. To override Tech requires great focus, meaning she cannot attack or strategize while overriding and maintaining, to the point of transitioning machines into new areas is not very feasible.
She can only receive information in this manner, information that she may not have the ability to use. Her brain is not a super computer and does not process things as fast as one. She is also limited to a human memory. She is also limited in understanding based on the information she has. She cannot auto-decode things she does not know the systems to, such as cyphers or coding systems she is unfamiliar with, which would likely be military, rebel, government, or newly developed systems. No tech-based ability is instantaneous aside from simply interfacing with them, but, if the system is protected, she will still need to hack it, which takes time. The entire premise of this is her nervous system functions differently due to her semblance. Data is a sting of electrical impulses sent through a conductor to a system designed to process the information. Her nerves are these conductors and her brain is capable of processing the electrical impulses into something coherent to her. Furthermore, her own senses are biologically prioritized when she interacts with machines. So, excessive input will disrupt her abilities. Physical shock from an attack, excessive noise, something that strongly affects her sense of smell, etc. She can still function, however, for two posts, she is sluggish and disoriented. Removing her goggles is crippling in lighted environments as her photosensitivity leaves her blinded in more than dim lighting.
The difference between Tech-Override and Interface is Override lets her control the system whereas interface allows her to view the system. She can process the information as though she is looking at a monitor, but, Override takes it a step further allowing her to essentially hijack the system to control it.
If we cannot determine effectiveness of her attempts to hijack a system through discussion, I am willing to do Dice v Dice against another player to decide the outcome, or, essentially a skill check set by crew for a system on a mission.
If no set system is settled on, I will roll 1D20. Below will be default difficulty scales.
►►►VS Average or below skill Personal or Basic commercial (The average Joe dabbling in setting up their own systems without advanced formal education or individual shop tier business systems) Result of above 5 = Success
►►►VS Educated individual to Mid-Tier Business (Someone who is trained and educated in the design of the system or a local non-corporate significant office/warehouse) Result of above 10 = Success
►►►VS Higher-tier Business or non-critical government grade systems (Regional, District, or Headquarters sites or immediate Access Government systems such as Police, Mail, or other Public Services, this also extends to Private Security systems for individuals in government, such as one's personal laptop, but not something that would be kept secure on site in a government facility) Result of above 15 = Success
Military-Grade or Critical Government Systems are beyond her capability and anything infused with an Aura must have the Aura dispersed before she can even have a chance to succeed
