Huayuan

**Huayuan** (花园), also known as **Shiva**, **Flower Garden** or **ICE Queen** in several netrunning circles is an active member of Xian and the CEO of Cauldron Pharmaceuticals.

## Skills and Abilities

Huayuan, much like Yin Yue, has a genetic resistance to stress and has extreme stress tolerance. When her brain grew accustomed to using her cyberdeck from the early stages of development, it adjusted to the cyberware to an extreme degree, spurring a formation of myelin, becoming "super-myelinated". Thus, her brain exponentially increased its information processing speed. She sports the standard neural processor, interface plugs and chipware sockets necessary for her profession, including a deep dive port and her preferred cyberdeck is her Raven Microcyber Mk.4. Huayuan's frontal cortex cyberware includes an intrusion countermeasure electronics system that protects cybernetic implants from nasty bugs and clears hostile quick hacks, the Camillo RAM Manager; a mod that manages and optimizes RAM use between her brain and cyberdeck, an External Disk implant that increases the brain's capacity to store and process information a RAM upgrade to her system's random-access memory to support processing speed as well as store Demons. She has a subprogram that enhances nervous system function and uses a whip-like monofilament wire with a cutting edge in addition to her direct interface plug.

Additionally, Huayuan has Smart Link cyberware that allows swift, direct, low-latency connection with compatible objects such as a firearms or implants, while also increasing effectiveness and handling, a memory boost module that optimizes the sync between her brain along with a ballistics coprocessor, a detoxifier that performs blood dialysis and a cataresist hybrid cyberware that protects the body from the inside and out. Her ocular systems include scanners with various target analysis, threat detector and trajectory analysis modules. A tyrosine injector enhances intracellular transduction and bioconductors facilitate superconductivity in the circuitry that connects her body's cyberware. Huayuan has synthetic lungs allow her to stay underwater for up to 100 minutes.

Although offensive quick hacks are not her forte, she's called the ICE Queen for a reason. Her ICE systems and programs are nigh-impenetrable, and by the time the enemy finds out, her own quick hacks, Anti-Personnel Black ICE, Anti-Program Black ICE, and Daemons are already deployed to hunt down and eliminate the offending Netrunner or program. She also has an Icer CO2 fire Extinguisher installed her left cyber-arm that can additionally blind opponents along with a Pursuit Security Inc. Gas Jet and Microwaver. She has extremely durable integumentary system subdermal armor that mitigates most physical damage under her IR synthetic skin, tightening of the dermal outer weave, increasing density and thus enabling deflection of oncoming high-speed projectiles; blunt trauma and high-energy emissions are also absorbed. A prominent glow will flow through the subdermal fibers as it channels power-dampening energy. If one were to look closely enough while she was armored, they would see scale-like structures agglomerated on each 'cell' of her synthskin. As the CEO of Cauldron Pharmaceuticals, she's not just a corpo but a competent MedTech too.
