Susanna Arak-Thull

### Affiliation

Crew of the Maverick, part of 'Galaxy-Guns weekly' a collection of digital firearm magazines that has a free subscription service.

## Physical description

### Body type

An athlete's compact musculature with noticeable biceps and abdominals. Outside of that, she's lean and a little lanky.

## Personality

Susanna was originally a hostile creature with erratic thinking and confusing logic. She worked almost entirely on instincts and a low-level thought process. To that end, she was very enthusiastic-almost childishly so. After some self discovery and growth, her personality was more developed. Instead of swapping between emotional extremes, Susanna is more content to stay peppy and positive. If not a little ditzy. She's very encouraging and forgiving of her fellow crew members both new and familiar, and holds a deceitfully cheery perspective about blowing things up and doing more unsavory things. As long as it's with her crew? It'll always be a blast.

## Character Development

With the help of her friend and captain, Lucie, she secured something to help her mind settle down. However, it had the unexpected effect of triggering a full metamorphosis to an insectoid form.

During a brief stay on Galaea Susanna was under the control of a machine plague. It still plagues her with irrational fears that it'll take over again one day.

Susanna began to mature during her stay on the Maverick. She has a long way to go, but she's at least self sufficient. She understands life, and the pain of losing it. The anger of failure and the joy of success. She's seen crewmates leave, pass away, and sometimes just disappear. However, she remains on the Maverick.

After a long-winded internal debate, Susanna realized the crux of her problem: She didn't feel like she owned her body. She poured quite a few credits into a full-body surgery that gifted her with a very humanoid form. Her only Kaiten heritage left are the four arms, light dustings of chitin and color-splotches. Not to mention her pale-cream skin and bright pink hair.

## Origin

<news report, broadcasted as an emergency alert, the tv is slashed.> "terror in Tortuga today, as an unidentified monster attacked a market area, in this seemingly targeted massacre, twenty one residents have been killed, and thirty seven injured. Eyewitnesses report a large Kaiten, seemingly entirely insect, citizens are dubbing this monster "Frankenstein's bride," after the ancient human literature known as, Frankenstein. This name comes from her appearance, as on recording. /a recording of a large blue insectoid tearing a man to shreds with two sets of arms. Her third set holding him in place\ can clearly be seen with numerous stitches across her body. Officials are unsure what this could mean. If you know anything of this creatures whereabouts do not hesitate to alert authorities" <the place around the tv, scattered, broken, bloody, a gang hideout, behind the tv, a set of surgical tools and a large table, with broken chains and restrainers.>

The monster in question did murder them, but she did it for a reason. Susanna was once many different Kaiten with peaceful happy lives. They were plucked and torn apart, extracting their insect parts; eyes plucked, exoskeletons de-grafted. Stitched together and inserted with four Kaiten women's brains, digitized and plugged into a very real brain.
When she woke up, she felt that pain of each extraction burning her nerves and driving her mad with pain. Now, she longs to kill those who wronged her. So she may feel this... Odd sensation: Love. From those she was taken from.

## Relations with the crew

* Lucie: Susanna has a deep respect for the former captain, and carries a large concern for her as well. After the situation on Tortuga, and some of the other various events, Susanna has come to believe that Lucie is deeply suffering.
* Avix: The second person she met, Susanna carries a crush for the Kaiten. She does, however, respect his intelligence in a manner that leads to her thinking a bit too highly of him.
* Rokesha: Rokesha has proven to be a bit enigmatic for Susanna, though she has been there for a few 'events' as Susanna would put it. She thinks the world of her hacking ability, despite not knowing too much about it. Outside of that-She views the hacker as a casual friend.
* Tixtifur: "Tixi" so far seemed nice, though she felt hurt at their disposition, and a little disgruntled at his brazen theft, she fully believes that she can get him to change his path in life, and has berated him for his part in the derelict parasite encounter.
* Aeden: Susanna's first interaction went both good and bad,She introduced him to the ship and crew. To that end: she thinks that the Agvan is rather smart, and was happy to give him a copy of her biology, however, she felt as though he was disturbed by her appearance. One of the key turning points that made her consider the surgery.
* Zahida: Zahida was another crewmate led to the Maverick by the Sniper-wielding Kaiten. Zahida and Susanna partnered up to hunt down a large quarry, killing two large creatures and promptly returning them to the ship for a good old fashioned Barbeque. Susanna respects Zahida's talents and compares their partnership to Peanut-Butter and Jelly. Despite never actually having either of those.
* Quickshot: Quickshot was treated to quite the chew-out when Susanna first had a full conversation with them. It was alongside Tixtifur, and Susanna expressed concern about their actions and what implications it could have on their lifespan. It's not like Quickshot has a warranty. At least as far as Susanna is aware.
* Rein: Rein recently met Susanna and was immediately subjected to a spout of words that seemingly never stopped. it ended with quite a bit of sensitive information being spilled out, and Rein being led back to the ship like a few others that Susanna has crossed. Though she hasn't spoke to her too much, She believes that Avix and Aeden will get along well with her.

## Equipment

The Nowhere Prophet: An old sniper-rifle that Susanna picked up Galaea. It has very little in terms of functionality, outside of magnifying holographic-projection sight and a red cloth wrapped around the barrel. It's quite worn down, but it still fires true. This is Susanna's primary weapon.

* Susanna is based off of the American Shield bug. Or stink bug.
* Susanna's combined minds held two semi professional dancing trophies, one in ballet and the other for freestyle. She can still do ballet, but hasn't really tried in public.
* She holds a teddy bear in her room, it does have a name but it has not been mentioned, alongside her bumble-cat pet.
