Personality: Kimiko is as much a result of tragedy as her own choices, the defining events in her life turning her into the emotionally unstable person she is for she is a complete and utter yangire. On the surface she's perfectly normal, polite and pleasant to spend time with, a truly mature and intelligent woman possessed of the competency one might expect from someone of her age and position. It's all very ordinary and plain, perhaps a little unnaturally so given her ability to say a lot without saying anything.
However, this surface persona of a polite and reserved lady is far from the truth. The reality is that she's bitter, angry, frustrated and quite simply envious. She's bitter about her lack of a family and loss of her arm. She's angry at her mother, she's frustrated with the barriers between herself and her dreams. She's envious of the people around her, with their normal lives and fully functional bodies, with their real careers, hopes for the future and families.
Of course, what exactly is the root of this gnawing envy? Well, missing her left arm was the start of it but also missing both family and healthy emotional connections with the people around her was the continuation of it. Yet, the important thing to discuss is how her envy affects her personality. Firstly, it's the origin of her transhumanist views and desire to employ technology to replace what is missing but secondly, the envy she feels towards those who she considers to have had a normal can drive her to simply snap at people with violence were it not for her preference to maintain the status quo of her human life. She is a total yangire restrained only by her own fear.
You see, while there's a great deal about her life she detests, Kimiko is also very much afraid of change. Change is neither inherently positive or negative but Kimiko has had to struggle tooth and nail to achieve the stability she currently has and that's what drives her to rage and angry. She desires nothing more than to be a free spirit at heart that she is, to act on her wants, to do whatever she likes but she knows the restrictions of the modern world and her own body deny her that. Kind of hard to escape the weakness of your own flesh when you're in prison for breaking someone's arm or homeless due to unemployment.
Appearance:
Standing at one point seven meters, sporting long dark hair, green eyes, white skin and a broad shouldered build Kimiko's appearance is honestly pretty ordinary. She's not overly muscular but not underdeveloped.The only thing out of the ordinary is her missing arm. Having been amputated just above the left elbow, Kimiko naturally sports a prosthetic but despite the stylish black paint job, it is by no means anything fanciful. It is simply a lump of black plastic with either a fake hand or hook.
Now, fashion sense. Kimiko typically wears shirts and trousers, with a full suit (no tie) paired with either some velcro boots or simple loafers. Her fashion is hardly anything too stand out, wobbling between smart or smart-casual depending on how much tolerance she has for fighting with her arm on that day. Although, at home her attire is typically a pair of pajamas, both shirt and trousers with simple slippers They're the easiest clothing for her to slide into given the lack of buttons
FaceClaim: Girls Frontline • Angelia • Lunar.
Personal History:
Kimiko's history may be a rather tragic thing but it did not start that way. Born in nineteen ninety four to an affluent middle class family, her early childhood was honestly really good. High quality education, a fancy house, all the toys she could ever want. Life was good for her, both as a baby and a child but then the cancer came. Not herself or her mother but her father. Years of treatment and a great deal of yen later he passed away, leaving the then thirteen year old Kimiko and her mother alone.
Loss brings grief and people respond to grief in many different ways. Some wallow in it, others get through it healthily and some...turn to crutches. Kimiko's mother was one of these, relying on drink (and a great deal of it) to try and get through her loss. At first it was quite reasonable and done in moderation, a small glass here or a small glass there but it slowly got worse. Glasses become pints, pints become entire bottles, months became weeks and weeks became days.
This all came to a head when, at age fifteen, Kimiko's mother foolishly decided to drink and drive...with Kimiko in the car. An accident occured, one which injured both of them. Kimiko's mother suffered PTSD from the accident and was eventually sectioned for treatment under her issues but Kimiko? She perhaps had it worse. Her injuries were as much physical as they were emotional, with her being amputated just below the left elbow and undergoing a great deal of mental and physical therapy. Of course, Kimiko did undergo a change of guardian, being handed over to her uncle.
Her uncle had a lot of work ahead of him, trying to support his new charge through the physio and the therapy but over the years the duo bonded, with her uncle even teaching her the very basics of mechanical engineering. This education ultimately became the foundation for Kimiko's adoration for engineering, the source of her passion and the motivator for her to return to mainstream education. Sadly, it was when she started re-integrating with her peer groups at large that she found her envious nature beginning to stir.
Still, even though she was deeply and violently jealous of her peers Kimiko quite frankly was too afraid of change to act out her desires. She was already a cripple fighting hard to make her way through her education but finally, after years of hard work and adaptation, she had made her way through high school and college, getting onto a bachelor of engineering course at a Tokyo university. Sadly, Kimiko's personality had rotted rather deeply by this point. The years in high school and college she spent surrounded by whom she called "ordinary" had been eating away at her, making the difference between herself and her peers rather obvious. This obvious difference was what made her envy oh so very dangerous.
Fortunately, as much as she wanted to avenge herself on the peers around herself Kimiko simply had more important things to focus on, namely her degree. To make a long story short she got through her degree, finishing top of her class with the highest grade possible. You may have thought this would be the start of things getting better in her life but sadly, no. Her uncle's health began to fade and he was forced into an early retirement, which swiftly forced Kimiko to find whatever work she could in order to provide for herself.
This is the status quo that has gripped Kimiko in fear for a good four years, her career simply consisting of being a mechanic for a local garage. She has often considered and even looked into finding better work but the fear of the changes finding new work meant, namely the lack of income and her own rent costs during the transition period, has kept her from taking the plunge which brings us pretty much to the modern day.
SPIRIT USER'S INITIAL EVOLUTION LINE
Spirit Element:
Transhumanism
Sprite Spirit
Species: Gatchmon
Appearance:
Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Machine Empire
Type: Cyborg
Fighting Style: Gatchamon is a digimon whose fighting style is based around information. Using abilities such as Deep Search and Weak Point Search, they are able to swiftly search the entire web to find out information on specific species of Digimon which they then use to enhance their combat ability. As for how they actually fight, Gatchmon combines ranged and melee attacks, lashing out with sharp claws while unleashing beams of focused energy
Abilities:
Deep Search Gatchmon swiftly searches the entire internet, finding any information that is pubically availabe. This ability changes depending on whether in the digital world or not. In the human world, it only finds information available on the human internet and in the digi-world, it only finds information available in the digi-world's equivilant.
Weak point search. Gatchmon analyses the opponent's weakpoint, passively increasing the damage they deal to them by 20%.
Gatch-claw Gatchmon charges at the opponent and lashes out with their claws, dealing damage by cutting and slashing at the target.
Data-beam Gatchmon shoots a beam of corrupted data at the target, dealing a regular amount of damage for their level and inflicting a virus effect that deals 10% of the move's natural damage every turn for three turns. It does not scale with moves that boost damage or reduce target defence and has a three post cooldown.
Digivolves From: N/ADigivolves To:Andromon
Human Spirit
Species: Andromon-
Appearance:
Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Machine empire
Type: Cyborg
Fighting Style: Andromon's fighting style is balanced and powerful but lacking in imagination, relying on raw power to achieve victory. By employing the weapons built into its body, Andromon is able to assault the foe with missiles, bullets, swords or its own raw physical strength.
Abilities:
Optimised output. Even as an unfinished prototype for cyborg Digimon, Andromon's form is highly optimised for offensive actions and reloading or recharing weaponry, reducing the cooldown of a single move by one, with a two post cooldown for this ability itself.
Chrome Digizoid. As the prototype for the technology that would go into digimon such as Metal Greymon and Megadramon, among others, Andromon's body is partially chrome digizoid. This smple fact enhances its defence, reducing the incoming amount of damage by 20%
Universal port. On account of being a cyborg digimon, Andromon is equipped with a universal port that can directly interface with any machinery, either part of digimon or not, and can tamper, interfere or downright control it. Digimon do prove difficult to manipulate with strong willed digimon of any level able to effectively resist anything beyond Andromon simply exploring their hardware but for non-sentient machinary, it depends on their level of cybersecurity. As a closing note, this requires physical access via plugging a wire in so it's not exactly suitable for combat/has no combat use. (Non-combat passive.)
Gattling Missile. A pair of missiles are launched from Andromon's chest, which aggressively follow the target, unleashing machine gun fire upon them for two rounds before impact into the target and exploding. The machine gun fire deals an additional 60% of the move's over all damage over two turns while the impact and subsequent explosion deal the full 100%. However, these bullets can be blocked, the missiles can be swatted out of the air or just simply blocked. This ability packs a six turn CD.
Spiral Sword. Andromon rotates its right hand at high speed, forming a glowing blade of energy that can either be launched towards the enemy, up to a max range of 40 feet, or retained to employ as a close range weapon. When used as a projectile, the energy dissipates in a single round. This ability deals electrical/lighting damage with a four turn CD.
Grenade Launcher. Using the grenade launcher built into his right arm, Andromon launches a high explosive grenade round with an explosion radius of about 20 feet. Unsurprisingly, it deals fire element damage on account of big explosion. It also packs a four turn CD.
Reformat. By virtue of being the original prototype that all cyborg digimon were developed from, Andromon is able to copy one move or passive from any other Cyborg Digimon. In the case of an active move, it lasts for one use (with damage, buff or debuff values adjusted to champion level.) and copies the cooldown of the copied move. In the case of copying a passive, that passive lasts for three posts and a new move can not be copied until those three posts expire. Regardless of which option Andromon goes with, Reformat is replaced with the copied ability.Reformat's range is exactly 20 feet and does not require consent, nor does it negatively impact the targeted move's owner in any way. Finally, Kimiko must know of the move she desires to copy and can not copy once per thread abilities.
