I just went back to Season 3 re-reading all of the old post and stuff we did together...I just have to say the nostalgia, it's kind of sad that we are so few now.

It is a little sad, but I could never have the trust I have with everyone that I do now back in season 3. It may look to an outsider that we have gotten smaller, and while that may be true, because of that, we have become not only more connected but we are also more determined to make and are more proud of our content.

Sure, why not one more? Related to Sasha and I think you guys will like her. Say hello to the new doctor.

Name: Irina Beaumont
Title/Role: XSDF Staff Member, Doctor
Age: 24
Date of Birth: August 16th, 2019
Sex: Female
Place of Birth: Scepter Medical Center, Moscow
Nationality: French (Family moved to Russia)
Height: 1.68 meters (5'6)
Weight: 58 kg (128 lbs)
Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: To the base of her neck (Slightly wavy)
Eye Color: Hazel
Immediate Family: Gregory (Father), Therese (Mother), Kliment (Brother, Deceased)
Place of Residence before joining the XSDF: Apartment in the town of Stella in the colony of Novum

Appearance (BWH Measurements - 32C-23-30):

Irina has a thin frame that is sometimes unassuming, and sometimes draws attention. Although she is beautiful, she doesn't often show it off, wearing simple clothing like a black shirt with long sleeves and long gray pants, sometimes with a fuzzy dark gray coat. She tends to favor darker colors, only wearing white medical clothing when at work. Irina doesn't fall into the emo stereotype though, abhorring eyeshadow and usually forgoing most makeup products.

Personality:

The Beaumont daughter is soft spoken and shy, but intensely loyal. She is the type of person that would take a bullet for a dear friend or family member without hesitation. Despite this, she does not make friends easily, lacking refined social skills or the courage to meet new people on her own. Even if she fears interacting with people, she doesn't dislike them, doing her best to heal any under her care. On her own, Irina listens to classical music and plays the clarinet, not that she would likely tell you either of those things.

Bio:

Although Irina was born in the ravaged city of Moscow, still suffering from deep wounds inflicted by the alien invaders, no one in her family was truly Russian. Gregory and Therese Beaumont were French immigrants, having left their old country for new economic horizons. Irina's father was a craftsman, her mother a musician, and both hoped that their distinctly foreign talents would be valued in the capital. And they were, though that is not to say the two did not know how to assimilate.

Their firstborn child was a son they gave a Russian name, Kliment. By the time he was four, he received a sister in Irina. The two seemed like ideal siblings, occasionally squabbling but truly caring about each other. Kliment was the athletic boy, and Irina the studious girl with glasses. And then, on November 11th of 2024, Kliment fell gravely ill to a sudden malady. The doctors couldn't understand what was wrong with him, and three days later, he was dead. Poor Irina, only five at the time, was heartbroken and couldn't understand why she could no longer see her brother. Only gradually did she come to understand what had transpired.

Any social skills she might have shown were lost with this early tragedy, and Irina became something of an outcast, choosing to stay inside and study rather than play with the other children. Her parents worried, but came to realize that Irina was coping in her own way. She was happy learning in school and being taught how to play an instrument by her mother, despite not having friends to speak of.

In middle school after her family moved to St. Petersburg, she naturally joined the band, making tepid friends but never really seeking to get to know them better. Being the shy new kid, only one person in particular did she find herself able to identify with, a Russian-American named Sasha Dragomirov. The two became fast friends, keeping in touch even after Sasha realized that she was a poor musician and dropped out of band. Irina kept herself distant from Sasha's friends, fearing that they were not as kind as they let on. She gradually saw them grow into bullies, and grew more worried by Sasha turning a blind eye to their behavior at first.

They eventually turned on Sasha, but even as she felt as if she was losing all her friends, Irina was there for her, offering quiet reassurances. Even when things started to improve for Irina, namely having corrective surgery that gave her 20/20 vision back, the two's bond did not break. But as fate would have it, Irina was dragged away from Sasha. The same disease that struck her brother wrapped its claws around her life and squeezed. Irina was rushed to a hospital, where advancing treatment kept her alive longer than her brother. Even so, it seemed as if Irina was destined to die too.

In this moment of hopelessness, a savior appeared for her. Having received a pleading call from Sasha's mother, a medical expert from Exalt Enterprises, one of the sisters named Lily Exalt, came to do what she could for Irina. Arriving in St. Petersburg, Lily came to understand what was the cause of Irina's sickness. She suffered from the same illness that her brother once did. Having developed something of a solution, Lily gave Irina treatment for the malady, though the latter felt a twang of guilt that her brother could not be saved in time, and she had lived where he had died.

Irina returned to school just in time to graduate with her dear friend Sasha. Ever studious, she had done her best to keep up with her studies, even in the hospital. And this devotion didn't go unnoticed, Lily offering to sponsor the 18 year old to go to a prestigious medical school on Luna. At first, Irina tried to decline, but after support for the idea by her parents and Lily revealing her desire to have the young woman work for her afterwards, Irina accepted the offer.

The young woman found that her introversive nature served her well there. Turned off by the arrogance of her peers and others on the colony, Irina was actually better off not making friends and concentrating on her studies. Graduating at 22, she spent her residency working in a town named Stella. It wasn't a boring three years there. Irina was fascinated by the oxygen pockets that made up the colony's 'sweet spots' for civilization, as well as the wildlife adapted to the nitrogen-shrouded hills surrounding the bastions of humanity.

Her expertise served the colony citizens well as she took care of normal medical problems and had to adapt to some of the alien diseases on the planet. Her skill in dealing with the problems she faced, her calm demeanor and innovative nature were all qualities that got her noticed by the XSDF. And although Lily was a bit disappointed to see her prodigy stolen, for now at least, she wasn't about to stop Irina from joining the eXtra-Stellar Defense Force.

Special Notes: Eyes repaired to full range of vision by a normal human. Irina doesn't have qualms about genetic modification or cybernetic enhancements as long as they aren't used purely for war. She is a bit wary of psionics, not able to understand how they work, but has no ill will towards psions. She hasn't met many aliens, so expect her to be curious upon meeting new races, even if she's unlikely to approach them initially.

Right, okay here is what I wrote down, that I will some day post a longer version, and yes changed might occure during this time.

-START-

“Goddes”


I open my eyes and see the clear sky above me, a fresh breeze greeted me and the scent of Carnation flowers fills the air around me. I take a deep breath and closed my eyes again. Enjoying every second that I could. This was so relaxing, something I have not felt in a while.

Lying here in the grass gives me a lot of time to think of many things, the only problem is that I do not know anything. Who am I? Where am I? What am I?


Once again I open my eyes. To my surprise I was now sitting on the edge of a cliff. Waves crashing against the rocks below me, and the air was filled with the smell of salt water. Far off in the distance the sea was dancing with the storm and I could hear the music of their waltz.


I felt butterflies in my stomach, something told me to go. Without any though my arms started to push me slowly off the cliff, before I knew it I was falling towards the sea and I felt a sudden rush that felt like electricity going through my entire body. The sea was coming close and closer, my head started to get lighter, but my mind started to hurt. I felt like I was being torn in two. Just when I thought I would hit the sea everything stopped. All of the sudden I was standing in front of a mirror, from the mirror a small girl was staring at me, smiling. Mirrors are suppose to reflect whoever stands in front of it, however that girl was not me. But yet somehow she was me. I looked into the girls eyes, it felt like I was being sucked into them, soulless and empty like a void. My mind started hurting more and more. I couldn't take it anymore and closed my eyes. The pain felt like it was never going to stop. The next few seconds felt like years. When I opened my eyes again I was standing on a deserted planet, above me the galaxy was glowing in all it’s glory. I turned around and was blinded by a huge star, I tried to covered my eyes but nothing came up to shield my eyes when I made the arm movements. I saw a small planet that was in front of the star. Slowly my eyes adjusted to the brightness and I was able to observe the star with all its glory without being blinded. Just then I was pulled up and away, although my body felt like it was standing still I know I was being pulled away from it. I looked at the position I was standing and saw a small light emitting from that location.


Am I a star? No, but what am I?


I drifted more and more into the endless void of space. Once again it seemed like ages before anything happened. This time I heard something, it was muffled but I heard it.


Another shock went through me.


“Goddes!”


Then everything was black. I could heard breathing, breathing? I was not breathing! My eyes shot open and I opened my mouth trying to breath. Nothing! Neither my nose nor my mouth were filling me with air. I reached for my chest to feel my heart and was greeted by a hard surface. A loud bang, I did not feel anything. Nothing was beating, but something was there. Working. I could feel it. I moved my arms over my eyes. This… this isn’t me...

Alright, character bio of the day number one. This is one I probably showed off first, since most of you know she is coming back, and have even referenced her.

Name: Aya Brea
Title/Role: 1st Officer/Soldier (Assault)
Age: 64 (Apparent age 29)
DoB: November 20th, 1979
Sex: Female
Place of Birth: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Race/Nationality: Human, Caucasian (Paternal)/ Japanese (Maternal)
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 125 lbs
Hair Color: Blond
Hair Style : Shoulder Length, Straight
Eye Color: Blue
Immediate Family: Eve Fenris (Younger 'Sister'), Adam Fenris (Brother-in-law)
Place of Residence before XSDF: O.S.S. Guardian Angel

Appearance:
Being of Asian and Caucasian descent, Aya displays features from both her Japanese mother and her American father. She has many Asian facial features, such as the shape of her face and eyes, while possessing blue eyes and fair blonde hair. Attractive, though never using sexuality to an advantage, Aya has a somewhat small figure, but is not frail in any way; she is fairly agile, and while she’s not a power house, she is by no means weak. She may be stronger than her appearance, both physically and mentally, as she tends to out-perform those around her who appear to be much stronger.

Due to a combination of her own incredibly reduced rate of mitochondrial decay and the effects of the anti-aging formula developed by EE, Aya's aging seems to have practically stopped. Despite being in her mid sixties, Aya appears to still be in her late twenties. Thus, she has retained her youthful agility and mental fortitude, though she would prefer to live a normal life like everyone else. She only continues to take the serum because she feels she has work yet to be done.

Personality:
On the surface, Aya can appear to be sarcastic and uninteresed,and she tends to brush off the advances of those she is not familiar with. However, inside she is honest, kind and compassionate. She can be gentle and nurturing, and even maternal at time, especially towards children. She has very humanitarian and altruistic attributes, believing all life to be priceless, including non-human life. It is practically incapable of turning a blind eye to the suffering of others, and can be self-sacrificing, often to a fault. If she sees someone in danger, she often acts compulsively, betraying her usual intelligence in an effort to save them.

The pains and trials she has gone through has left her alienated to the world around her. She keeps most of her interactions with others professional, though she can be quite patient. She suffers from a type of survivor's guilt over those who have died around her, especially those who died protecting her, and it can weigh her done, much to Maya's displeasure. This has only intensified after decades of service, though she has learned to hide it well.

Bio:
Born in Boston in 1979, Aya led a simple life with her parents and twin sister Maya. However, on December 23, 1984, Aya was in a car accident with her mother and sister, both of whom died. Afterwards, her father, a journalist, was forced to raise his surviving daughter alone, the two relying on each other for comfort over their loss. At the age of seven, Aya received a corneal transplant to correct a defect in her right eye at St. Francis hospital in New York City, the donor being her own sister, whose organs had been preserved.

As a young woman, Aya studied Criminology at the University of Virginia, and participated in the Reserve Officer's Training Corps program. She later relocated to New York City and became an NYPD officer, where she worked for three years between 2003-06, where she was eventually promoted to detective. During this time, she became involved in what is known to the general public as the New York Blockade Incident, which included the mass evacuation of the island of Manhattan after the release of an unknown airborne substance resulted in numerous occurrences of what appeared to be spontaneous human combustion, as well as extensive damage to the NYPD 17th Precinct, St. Francis Hospital, Carnegie Hall, Central Park, the Chrysler Building, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Statue of Liberty.

The exact circumstances revolving around how Aya was able to resolve the incident are unknown, but she left the NYPD soon after the incident and joined a special division of the FBI based out of Los Angeles, whose official purpose was "to hunt down and eliminate lesser known threats to the well-being of America." She remained with this group until September 2007, during which time an incident with a terrorist group operating in a secret base in the Mojave Desert resulted in the FBI declaring Aya's division's work to be "complete," and it was dissolved.

Aya spent the next five years living a quiet life with a man she met during the Mojave desert incident, identity confidential, and a young girl named Eve, who was adopted by Aya as her 'sister' under unknown circumstances. Her quiet life was shattered on December 24th, 2013, when her wedding at Saint Thomas Church in New York City with her five-year boyfriend was attacked by an unknown terrorist group, resulting in the death of the groom. Aya enlisted in the United States Marine Corps to raise her skills in the hopes of one day finding her lovers killers, and rose through the ranks at an unprecedented rate.

She was called to XCOM by an old friend, Commander Morrigan O'Brien, to act as a go between and trainer of new soldiers, though she soon took the role as central officer when the former occupant died. She worked well with others, and helped train the psionic soldiers. Her self-sacrificing ways came to surface, however, when an attempt to redeem herself, involving her purposely walking into a trap, nearly cost her life. Helpful words from friends helped her push forward and recover, and she was there in the end, even if her role in the final fight was somewhat low due to an injury.

Aya remained with XCOM after the war, and became the new Commander of its subsequent organization, the XSDF. It was because of her hard work and dedication that the XSDF was able to survive its turbulent first decade and a half. Once it was on its feet, Aya left, still interested in finding her former fiance's killers, especially after she learned they might be on the rise again. Worse yet, a dear friend of hers, a former lover turned close friend, dropped of the face of the Earth, and she feared he might have been claimed by her enemies.

When word came that they might have moved off world, Aya rejoined the XSDF in the hopes of tracking the organization down using their help, and again assisting them with their goals. Though she been offered the Commander's position three times in the four years she's been back, she has refused them every time, feeling her place is on the battlefield alongside her men. She has, however, grown tired of a life of constant fighting. Rumor has it, she is watching and waiting for a successor to take her place, and currently has eyes on one or two individuals, one of the more prominent one being Frederick Mason.

Special Note: Due to the incident in New York during the New York Blockade Incident, Aya has a significant amount of unconscious control over the evolutionary level of her mitochondria. This has gifted her with a number of unique physical and psychokinetic abilities, including self-healing, creation of a psychokinetic barrier, a charge energy shot, pyrokinesis, and a little known ability few have seen her use. In an attempt to be more 'normal', however, she rarely uses her abilities before coming to XCOM, instead counting on her combat skills to win a fight. Her time during the war taught her to use them as a gift rather than run from them as a curse, and she was worked hard over the past twenty-five years to improve them, as well as gain control she was lacking before. What's more, she has trained long and hard to overcome her susceptibility to mind control. How successful she was has yet to be seen.

Another one of my characters, my only starting civilian.

// COLONY RESIDENCE APPLICATION ASSESSMENT //

Name: Taoming Wang (亡逃明)
DOB: May 12th, 2019 (age 24)
Birthplace: Shenyang, Liaoning, Republic of China, Earth
Residence: North Point, Hong Kong, Republic of China, Earth
Sex: Male
Marital Status: Single
Languages: English, Cantonese, Mandarin
Hair: Black, medium length
Eyes: Brown
Height: 168cm
Weight: 53kg

Preferred Designation:
☐ Luna
☐ Adamantem
☐ Megha
☐ Novum/Progressus
☑ Forseti

Background: Born in Liaoning, China, Taoming grew up in the infamous years of Chinese expansion and upheaval, most of his public record being lost or jumbled in the mess. We know he graduated high school with a middling GPA and spent a year at technical school, but dropped out to move to Hong Kong. Since then, he has worked as a contractor for a few companies before applying here.

Job History: Little on the record before 2040, although this is not unheard of due to the restructuring in China in the late ‘30s. Most recent employer was an aerospace manufacturing company in Hong Kong, where he was employed with coding software for suits, consoles, and drones. He quit on his own accord two months ago, as he has several times, all without any reported incidents.

Skills and Assets: Taoming is extremely skilled with computers, a rare trait amongst colony applicants due to colony manufacturers mainly being located on Earth. He shows a rudimentary grasp on alien computer protocols, although he would be better suited for human infrastructure, as he knows several coding languages in varying degrees. He is good at seeking out weak code and correcting it as well, making him a possible candidate to monitor cyberwarfare attacks. Taoming is licensed to carry a handgun and scored highly on the safety and storage test.

Personality: Taoming is quite brief, he talks very little and is very direct, almost refreshingly so. He spends most of his time in cyberspace and can be impatient and reticent outside of it, however, talking about his interests can get his chatterbox running. Other than that, he appears to be confident in his abilities and knows what they’re worth, which may explain his employer-hopping in China.

Appearance: His most striking feature is a pure black cybernetic arm that was installed in him by an unlicensed Chinese surgeon that he is unwilling to talk about. Although it's origin is a downside, he appears to have control of the limb and knowledge of self-maintenance, which should keep it from being a liability. He wears his hair at chin length and scruffy, and wears ordinary civilian-looking clothes, usually button-up shirts or leather jackets.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Applicant Supplied Addendum:
Do you require vaccinations? N
Do you require provisions for the Aeternam solution? N
Do you have a criminal record in any Council nations? N
Would you perform military service for your colony if needed? Y
When will you be able to relocate? ASAP
Comments? I would be good for creating software for colony infrastructure, provided a quiet and secure workspace.

Also since we're officially in "formulate your characters" phase, someone should tell Sarge to do the message-to-everyone thing, if it hasn't already been done.

Staff member
Name: Mikhail Dragomirov
Title/Role: XSDF Soldier (Heavy)
Age: 24
DoB: March 4th, 2019
Sex: Male
Place of Birth: St. Petersburg, Russia
Nationality: Russian
Height: 1.83 meters (6’)
Weight: 71 kilograms (156 lbs)
Hair Color: Brown
Hair Style: Short and Straight
Eye Color: Blue
Immediate Family: Modya (Father), Jessica (Mother), Sasha (Fraternal Twin Sister)
Place of Residence before XSDF: St. Petersburg, Russia

Appearance:
Mikhail has a decent build, nothing too massive, but certainly a body of one who takes care of himself, almost like one who has something to protect. He has a high metabolism, which makes it easy to keep in shape but difficult to build muscles at times. He keeps himself well shaven and clean cut. He does not usually assign his wardrobe to any one design in terms of nationality, though he has an old, worn, black Ushanka he enjoys wearing, a hat that has shown a lot of use, and has been repaired many a times.

Personality:
Mikhail has a very protective personality, always worried about those around him while paying little attention to himself. This has caused him problems in the past, resulting in him getting sick or injured out of fear of burdening others. While he isn’t reckless, he struggles with guilt when faced with the thought of someone he cares about suffering in any way shape or form. This is especially strong as it applies to family, and can occasionally be seen as overprotective.
Aside from this personality quirk, Mikhail is a pleasant individual. Both of his parents motivated him to be a social person while growing up, and he found that he has a good deal of charisma, able to when over a crowd with sincere words and a smile. He is always the first to advocate teamwork over all, especially as it pertains to military situations. He likes people, and he has inherited his mother’s tendency to target the loners and anti-social people to push them to be more open.

Bio:
Mikhail was born in Russia, a country that had suffered some of the greatest losses in the Ethereal Subjugation War. This only meant an incredible baby boom, and the threat of overcrowded schools. The government was careful, however, and assistance from the XSDF and Council of Nations to help with this potential issue did something.

Mikhail’s parents always insisted on Mikhail’s sociability, with him understanding later on that it was because of their own socialization problems, which extended into adulthood. His mother had an odd quirk in the form of a second personality known as Alexia. Naturally, growing up with this made it par for the course for him, and he loved his second mother. It was harder for his friends to accept, though his male friends seemed more interested in his mother’s physique, which annoyed him, though it contributed to his popularity.

Mikhail was often too caught up in his own popularity to notice his sister’s lack of said popularity, and it almost had disastrous results. Always careful was he, satisfied with his life, that he never knew depression ran in his family until he almost lost his sister to it.
This was the event that kick started Mikhail’s overprotective personality. He kept his eye on Sasha, often from the shadows, though it was likely she knew he was there. He fear his pushiness might drive her away, but cared more about not letting her down again. He was especially harsh on any boys that seemed interested in her, knowing her exceptional physique, inherited from their mother, drew that wrong attention at times. His attention focused so much on his sister’s safety and happiness lost him a number of friends, some of whom had been responsible for him not noticing the plight of his ‘loser sister’. Those that stuck by his side, however, found that he was almost as protective of them as he was of his sister, always devoted to their safety and happiness. This even extended to his friends over seas, including the Walker children he had seen off and on since childhood.

It should surprise one to find out that the man who grew up in a military family had an interest in the military. His paternal grandfather a tank commander, his father a rocketeer during the Ethereal war, and his mother a scientist during the same war, Mikhail joined the Russian army straight out of high school. Taking after his father, he had an interest in explosives and rockets, and this grew to be his specialty. As Russia was one of the XSDF’s biggest supporters, their army worked hand in hand with a the XSDF’s conflicts, including fights with the Humanity Defense in 2039 and conflicts with the Triads. His closeness with XSDF soldiers led to Mikhail developing respect for the group, but he didn’t think to join them, wanting to stick with his homeland.

It was his sister, interestingly enough, that ended up leading Mikhail to XSDF. She had followed him into the military, something that had displeased him, but with the growing peace with Russia, he felt he could keep an eye on her this way. It was Sasha, however, that made the first move to XSDF, wanting to push herself, as she was tired of her depression holding her back. Mikhail resisted, knowing the dangers of such an organization were far greater, and the idea of his sister, or himself, for that matter, going into space terrified him. His sister’s mind set, Mikhail decided to apply with her. Despite initially only joining for her sake, he soon remembered his respect for the organization, and the positive notes he had received for high school friends who had joined before him. He quickly started to believe that, what he initially did to watch his sister, was actually one of the wisest things he had ever done.

Special Notes:
One of Mikhail’s most prominent bad habits is a tendency to pull out a pack of cigarettes when nervous. He hides it in shame, even amongst others who smoke, and knows that his parents would kill him if they found out he still did it, even as an adult.
Despite his eagerness to do his duty, and the knowledge that it would be an issue, Mikhail suffers from mild astrophobia. He does not like looking out of a ship's windows, avoids cargo bays, shuttle bays, and any room that might have an open door with nothing but a forcefield between him and oblivion as much as possible, and is one of the first to volunteer for any missions that involves being on solid ground.

She is very proud of her super human ability’s inherited by her mother from birth, and is always thread to meet new people. She wishes to help people out, she wants to help people out in the galaxy as well she hopes this personality of hers will lead her to new corners of the universe.


Bio: Being the Daughter of Eva Aegerter and the nesses of Ellen Exalt, Noire was known throw out the world. Noire was bore into a life of luxury thanks to her late grandmother Lusette, Noire never cared for material things, she never wanted her parents to spoil her .Even though she was born in a big house on the beach, she did enjoy swimming at the beach and play with her brothers and sisters watching her mom and dad enjoying the sun.

Noire school life was tough, being a genetic human most people thought that she was better than them which got her picked on. During her high school years she was constantly bulled, kids would spray paint freak on her locker, carve worthless on her desk and pulled terrible pranks on her. One day when she was walking to school some students fallowed her and through rotten food at her, which caused Noire to final snap and forgot what Eva told her. To treat people like an egg, when Noire strike them back she sent most of the people to the hospital with broken bones and concussions. Eva had to remind Noire that she’s not a normal human, that she’s different both Eva and Jean told the teachers about the incident to which the students were suspended. After the incident Eva gave Noire the green light to fight back her bullies, but to not go full or half force. After Noire was told to defend herself, she got into a lot of fights for most of her time in school, which would get her kicked out of school and tend night school throughout senior year.

Noire went to college and got a degree in engineering, to fallow in her father’s footsteps. But she wanted to change the people’s views of her, to prove that she’s not some rich kid that goes around proclaiming that she’s the daughter of a hero and she deserves respect. Noire wanted to make her own name and defend people across the world and in the colonies. Noire left France to join the U.S ranger. She knew in America she would be ridiculed, and judged by most people again. But she felt like she had to join the best military in the world to prove to herself that she can handle anything.

She wanted to be like her mother the ultimate soldier that saved the earth. Noire got inspired by Eva’s stories, she wanted to be just like her in so many ways she wanted to have her confidence her attitude her pride her strength and will. But Noire realized that she has all of those and is like her mom in a lot of ways. She has her mom’s kindness pride and determination. Noire realized that she is like her mom and was proud of it. During the Human Defense of 2039, Noire unite worked alongside the XSDF taking out any local criminals in the areas. Nories demonstrations during the Human Defense cough the eyes of the XSDF though she wouldn’t join them

Special Notes: Being the daughter of Eva, Noire is incredible strong and fast. Unlike her mother Noire doesn’t tire using her powers to the fullest, she is not as strong as her mother, but is more efficient with weapons then her mother. Noire might also have gen mods passed down to her, though this has not been confirmed by her mother or and Doctor. Thanks to her getting constantly picked on as a kid Noire hates being called a freak demon or an abomination. She is also tends to talk faster then she thinks, which means she may sayings that offend people without thinking She also hates smoking and rudeness.

So I've been tinkering with some stuff on Steam, considering using Sims or something like that to create a character. I came across a modeler that's simple enough for my technological scrubness to handle, and I threw together a quick model of Abigail to test it out.

There are some obvious problems, namely the gloss on the head and such, and the face isn't radically different from the default...but anyway, think I should try to do this for all my characters? It'd be kind of time-consuming, but fun to try anyway.
