DEUS EX MACHINA PERSONNEL FORM

The Hunter
Name: Sasha Antoinette Belrose
Nicknames: --
Gender: Female.
Age: 21

Category: Life.

The Weapon
Name: Chara
Nicknames: Char, Songbird.
Type of Weapon: A pair of meathooks - the hooks themselves are shaped like the toes of an owl's foot. Instead of one hook, each grip has three hooks. (Or two, I don't want her to run around looking like Wolverine or something like that. XD If that still looks wonky, I'm totally fine with working with one hook as shown in the ref.) Right hand side ref for feet, all other embellishments are left to colorists discretion. I'd love to see some brilliant color used in her design, iridescent, peacock-colors; purple/green/blue especially. Desummoned form: a small silver hairpin in the shape of a treble clef decorated with a few gems that mimic Chara's weapon colors.
Former species of weapon: Alkonost.
Gender: Female.


Personalities:
The Hunter:
Sasha has always needed to be told what to do. Taking orders is something she does very well, and when it comes to picking up a job or a task, Sasha is always there, first in line - right behind the leader. A born follower, Sasha doesn't mind taking second place or doing the nasty jobs that nobody else wants to do; in fact, she seems to thrive on these things. Sasha will do it because she has been told to do it. She focuses on tasks very well, oftentimes with a single-minded tenacity that could be considered off-putting. Even the most mundane or horrifying mission is exciting and awe-inspiring to Sasha as long as she has something to do.

She can sometimes come off as being either very needy or very high-strung depending on the circumstances. Sasha is not necessarily go, go, go! - she's just at her best when she has something to focus on, be it missions, writing, helping someone, washing latrines, babysitting pods, whatever. Sasha will never be found sitting around doing nothing.

Sasha, while something of a drone when it comes to menial tasks, is still very artistic at heart. She adores music and singing, poetry and painting. These skills were very important to her father and thus they became very important to Sasha. She knows her way around the flute and the violin (should she ever come into contact with them again), but most of all, Sasha loves to paint.

Sasha's perception of the world is slightly skewed. She led a rather sheltered upbringing in the sense that she did not spend much time away from the watchful gaze of her father, and this seems to tint everything in the world with brackish, rose-colored glasses. Because of this, it is sometimes difficult for Sasha to realize when someone is being mean to her or lashing out at her. She isn't completely socially retarded, but it is highly likely that there are always going to be people that she doesn't completely get along with. Sasha was not allowed many friends while growing up, so she has a tendency to latch on to those she perceives as leaders, especially after the loss of her father.

Simply put, Sasha does not have 'daddy issues' in the conventional sense of the term. She is not sexually aggressive let alone sexually inclined, she does not flirt voraciously, and she is not clingy in the sense that she craves physical attention. Sasha merely needs direction, someone to tell her what to do, and someone to make sure that she follows through on any given task, not that it is ever a problem.

The Weapon
Above all, Chara is a bossy git. Now, if Chara's demands are being met she has a quiet and unobtrusive tone, a gentle way of speaking. If Sasha does not immediately bend to Chara's will, the Alkonost will screech and scream in a monstrous temper tantrum. There are times where Chara can be quite demanding, but as long as her needs are catered to, Chara remains a sweet and charming little songbird. Chara does adore her 'shinies' like most any bird, and she is oftentimes distracted by these things (jewelry, gems, bits of foil, coins, pretty rocks) at the worst possible times (i.e. during spars/battles).

Together
Chara is quite thrilled with Sasha because Sasha is not afraid to stroke Chara's enormous ego. Chara does not take Sasha to task when the young woman fails at her missions or duties simply because Chara adores Sasha so - or perhaps she only adores the way that Sasha treats her. Sasha does not mind letting Chara take control - in fact, if the Alkonost was a timid and meek little beastie the duo would have a terrible time of it. Overall they have a rather amicable relationship purely because Sasha allows Chara to be the boss.

Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
Sasha's father was the epitome of strict. He was an utter and complete hard-a**. Sasha could play the flute quite charmingly, paint beautiful landscapes on canvas and passably sing by the age of 12. She was home-schooled by her father - it was as if he did not trust the education of his prodigal daughter to the distasteful public school. Needless to say, Sasha did not have the most traditional of educations - her teacher was her drunk of a father who drilled into her the importance of expressing her creativity. When Sasha spoke of the voices she heard or the flickers of shadow in the deepest recesses of her closet, the girl did not speak of them with fear. However, while Sasha relished in the late-night conversations with disembodied voices, her father was not so fond of them. Perhaps she heard the voices because she was quite the enigmatic child... or perhaps she heard the voices because she was open to hearing them. It didn't matter to Sasha's father - this facet of her personality was kept tightly under wraps, and the girl was never allowed to explore it. After a time she kept the interactions secret. They only served to upset her dearest papa, and that was something that Sasha could not bear.

When Sasha's father died three days before her 21st birthday, Sasha was lost. Not only had she lost her beloved father, but she'd also lost something that was even more important to the young woman. Structure. Orders. Tasks. A purpose.

When approached by a recruiter for Deus Ex, Sasha did not hesitate to sign on.

Weapon Ability Talon Serenade: Using the Swift Strikes mechanics, upon reaching the proper charge, Chara sings a small aria to Sasha and Sasha is able to repeatedly attack in the most relentless of ways - if their attack is successful.

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Pale silver-blue.
Hair Colour/Style: Black. Very black. Very long and often kept loose - straight or curly/wavy, doesn't matter.

Extra:
References: Maybe this type of jacket/dress/shoes combination, though differently colored - was thinking something like this, with simple gray or silver flats.
