Męka Niki

Męka Niki is a cyborg polar bear with noticeable metal arms, legs, and breathing apparatus. The first two make her a formidable combatant, but all of them make her look and feel like a misfit, which largely contributes to her pessimistic and sarcastic demeanor. Regardless, she is still willing to fight for the good of the universe…just don't expect her to be happy about it.
== Looks ==
Męka Niki is a female polar bear with white hair and light blue eyes. She has white wavy hair that comes down to the middle of her neck. Her fur covers her organic parts, which would, in this case, be her torso. However, her torso can't be seen, as she wears an inconspicuous brown leather one-piece vest-like article of clothing over it that covers her entire torso. She also wears blue-tinted goggles over her head to help her see further.
Her artificial limbs are quite clearly mechanical; gears and beams can be seen in her limbs, especially when she moves them. Her limbs also have several joints in places that wouldn't be expected from organic limbs, allowing Męka Niki to perform various complex moves; rotating her limbs 360º is just one example of what she is capable of doing with her artificial limbs. Additionally, her hands can be rotated back into her arms, causing chainsaws to rotate outwards (since the backs of her hands and the backs of the chainsaws are attached). Whichever arm extension (hands/chainsaws) is currently rotated into the back of Męka Niki's arm is covered by a metal sheath that folds over it when it rotates in, protecting the unused part from being harmed and from harming other people.
Męka Niki's has a steam-powered artificial breathing apparatus, a backpack-shaped object that protrudes from her back. This houses the mechanical parts of her breathing apparatus and allows her to feed fuel to it, which allows it to heat up some of the water that she drinks, turning it into steam and powering the breathing apparatus. This is the least noticeable one of her artificial parts, as it could easily be mistaken for a backpack, and even has compartments attached to it for storage.
Most of Męka Niki's artificial parts (arms, legs, and breathing apparatus) are primarily made of bronze, as this is the strongest metal easily obtainable in , her home dimension. These parts are then coated with a thin layer of tin to prevent bronze disease. This layer is then coated with a layer of copper-looking material to keep people from trying to steal Męka Niki's artifical parts under the assumption that they are more valuable than they are (as the tin could easily be mistaken for silver or a similar valuable metal). The only parts of Męka Niki that are not made of faux-copper-plated-tin-plated-bronze are the teeth of Męka Niki's chainsaws, which are made of obsidian. This is done because obsidian is the sharpest available material that is not susceptible to bronze disease, which is why the teeth are not made of bronze instead.
== Personality ==
On the outside, Męka Niki is bitter and cynical, only seeming to do good things grudgingly and frequently condemning them as useless. Her sarcastic sense of humor doesn't help much either. However, somewhere under all of this is a brave and well-meaning individual who really cares about things going well for the world in general.
== Strengths and Powers ==
Męka Niki has no magic powers. However, she does have chainsaws equipped in her arms that can deal massive damage. Aside from those, her artificial limbs are fairly strong and can bear a lot of weight or deal a lot of damage without breaking.
== Weaknesses ==
Męka Niki's primary weakness is that of her breathing apparatus, as she is forced to consume an unusually high amount of water and give her apparatus fuel regularly to keep it powered and allow her to breathe normally. Not doing this would result in her having trouble breathing or, if neglected long enough, might lead to her eventually dying from asphyxiation.
== Statistics ==
*Health: 6 – Męka Niki's metal limbs are largely impervious to damage, and her organic parts are fairly resistant as well.
*Damage: 6 – Męka Niki's chainsaws are very damaging to opponents. Getting hit with them could be extremely problematic.
*Speed: 1 – Męka Niki's artificial legs are not very fast. They're fast enough to get around at a reasonable speed, but she can't move anywhere near as fast as a normal, completely organic Mobian.
*Reflexes: 2 – Męka Niki's reflexes in battle are below-average.
*Intelligence: 4 – Męka Niki can come up with decent battle plans.
*Regen: 1 – Męka Niki's artificial parts don't regenerate at all without a blacksmith repairing them, so despite her organic parts recovering quickly, her overall damage recovery is fairly poor.
== Fun Facts ==
*The tin layer of Męka Niki's limbs could theoretically be melted by high heats, exposing the bronze layer to bronze disease, and the bronze layer itself could be melted by even higher heats. However, since tin's melting point is 450° F (232° C) and bronze's melting point is 1742° F (950° C), exposing Niki's organic parts to such a high heat would kill her or any other normal organic being, so this doesn't really count as one of her specific weaknesses, as it is not unique to her.
*Męka in Polish (where the word comes from) is pronounced /ˈmɛŋ.kə/ (mengka). However, Niki pronounces it /ˈmɛ.kə/ (mecha), as she doesn't want to be bothered with having to keep inserting the /ŋ/ sound into her speech every time she says her name.
