Ayumi

Art by louverusee

Ayumi is a character that is sometimes present within most of the main story. Her character origins stem from her being the first of the Viking Class power suit operatives, though she later takes some traits from D.Va from Overwatch, aside from her personality.

## History

Ayumi grew up in the urban center of Cheongju as the older of two sisters. During her childhood, she was rather shy, being nervous about social interaction. She had started playing video games at the age of 7, starting off with the PlayStation before moving on to PC gaming. Se had also grown to like rock music, which her sister found to be bizarre. She was often ridiculed by her sister's friends for not being into what was in vogue at the time, and her only friend was a fellow gamer who also played similar games to her. During her teen years, she gradually became more disdainful of others, including her sister. Her musical tastes had also shifted from general rock and roll to death metal. She also started getting into paintball, which is where she put her knowledge from playing Battlefield to the test. She joined the gaming clan "Kaos Orb" when she was 17, and played with them in minor league Battlefield 2 tournaments. Her clan's placements varied, but they usually were within the top 5 of any tournament they entered.

### Wartime

Ayumi was drafted into the Military Juggernaut project after hearing about her paintball experience, and gaming history. She was assigned to Alpha team with the role of assault. When in combat, she aggressively rushed the opposition, and used ambush tactics that she learned from paintball. She had overworked the Mark V armor system numerous times due to her rushdown style of combat. When off the field, she would practice combat scenarios to get a better edge against the opposing forces. When the switch to the Mark VI had been enforced, her combat performance had improved drastically, as she had more maneuverability to work with. At the end of the war, she was promoted to the rank Sergeant First Class for her impressive combat skills.

## Personality

Ayumi has a disdainful, dismissive, and hateful demeanor. She often avoids social interaction, mainly out of a sense of hatred for anyone who might make fun of her for her interests. She has a mildly positive attitude towards historical Korean culture, but also has a strongly negative attitude towards anything that's heavily popular in Korea, like K-Pop and real time strategy games. Some have noted that she might have severe depression, as she has scars from self-harm, as well as a few injuries from possible fights during her past. She also has a sense of Korean purism, meaning she doesn't trust anything foreign, especially from North Korea and China.

## Equipment

Ayumi's weapons are a standard fair for general purposes. Her primary weapon is an HK416, which she has a variety of attachments that she swaps between depending on the mission. Her secondary weapon is an MP7A1 with a suppressor, though she has used an MP5A5 from time to time. Her sidearm is a Beretta M9, which she sometimes uses in pairs. Her melee weapon is often a hwando sword, though she also carries an M9 Bayonet which she sometimes puts on the end of her main rifle.

## Physical traits

Ayumi is classified as a middleweight, with a strong emphasis on speed. She has average strength for her size, and has the best mobility out of her team. Her dietary habits tend to contain meals that are exclusively Korean, and anything that isn't native to her home country can cause her to have digestive problems. She is also lactose intolerant, meaning some meals with regular milk also cause problems for her. Her arms have several scars from cuts and scrapes, which some speculate are self-inflicted. Her body temperature is colder than normal, with an average of about 35.4 degrees.
