— Amélie

## Strengths and Weaknesses

### *Strengths*

Aside from being head security for Wolvengarde, Amélie is also part of the Espionage and Logistics section specializing in reconnaissance, intel gathering, and assassinations. Always training in order to hone her skills and to keep up with her AI companions in KTG. What she lacks in comparison to the two, she makes up through hard work and dedication. Being a Wolf type Demi-human, she is physically stronger and faster than your average human and has heightened senses of smell, hearing, and vision (especially with her augmented eye). Using modified technology created by Dr. Alice, Amélie is able to phase in weapons and items, activate shielding, and apply optical camouflage. The Augmented Lensatic Sight on her right eye allows for enhanced visuals and tracking. Lastly, her Voice Modulator allows her to not only  be able to properly speak, although robotic, but to take the voice and speech pattern of her target in order to mimic what they say (Though, she mostly uses it to bully Kisu and others).

Previously trained under her adoptive father, Leon, Amélie became a strong-willed, confident, and level-headed individual. She has proficient knowledge in demolitions, marksmanship, and is especially skilled in close quarters, most notably when she is equipped with her custom built sword, Raikiri.

Although she can do many forms of swordsmanship techniques, she is most proficient in practicing Iaido style, a technique that emphasizes striking an opponent by quickly drawing the sword from the sheathe and responding to sudden attacks. Combined with her superhuman speed and skillful swordsmanship, Amélie can cut and slash at speeds faster than the eye can see. She is quick enough to conduct multiple strikes in one draw and can swing her sword fast enough to block or deflect projectiles.

### *Weaknesses*

Although dexterous, agile, and skilled in combat, Amélie is still physically “human” compared to her AI companions. Therefore, her body isn't built to take an extended amount of damage. Merely breaking past her shielding can render her vulnerable to attacks. In addition, a high powered EMP blast can temporarily nullify her augments to be useless.

## Equipment

### *Raikiri*

Amélie's preferred sword that she created from the ground up and always thinking up ways to upgrade it. Weighing over 3lbs with a blade length of 31 inches and overall length of 41 inches, the Raikiri is a lightweight, custom made, trigger activated, air cooled, energy combusted, propellant sprayed, mechanical Katana.

When trigger is active, plasma energy is then dispersed per swing, allowing the user to attack at wider ranges and even deal with opponents at longer distances. The longer the trigger is held, the larger the combustion size becomes.

### *Raikou*

After the loss of her previous sword, the Raikou is an upgraded variant of Amélie’s Raikiri. Sporting a longer blade and a secondary short sword allows her to switch between weapon stances or wield both to gain an edge on the battlefield. Compared to Raikiri, this sword displays a more katana-like appearance all while having the same trigger mechanism and features. The katana can be attached onto a mechanical arm that helps mitigate its heavier weight and freely moves around the user to help draw the sword at various locations. It can also be manually removed off the arm for free usage.

Raikou exhibits improved heatsinks and plasma energy combustion while maintaining its durability, which was often a problem that occured from its predecessor.

When the trigger is active, plasma energy is equally stored throughout the edge of the blade, generating a shiny blue glow, and dispersed per swing, allowing for an even wider range of attacks. Additionally, the short sword dons a light coat of said energy which is released upon draw and stays active for a short period of time. It displays similar features and abilities, but at a smaller amount.

Amélie has honed her swordsmanship skills to utilize Odachi or Kodachi style combat as well as utilize both for dual wield combat.

### *XR-400*

Manufactured by Xelevity Labs, the XR-400 is a high powered, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine fed, selective fire carbine rifle. Modified for Amélie’s taste, it is used with special Armor Piercing rounds and is made for close to mid-ranged combat.

### *PGM .338LM Ultima/Ratio “Black Out”*

Amélie’s preferred marksman rifle.

Manufactured by PGM Précisions with the sole purpose for anti-personnel usage. This sniper system features a free floating, heavy weight, stainless steel barrel with finned aluminum heat sink shrouds, a machined aluminum receiver, and a steel bolt with triple locking lugs that lock into the barrel extension. It also comes equipped with an adjustable bipod and stock with a folding adjustable rear monopod for stability.

Custom design by Gien Matabi of MatabiShops, The “Black Out” variant is a High Powered Rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum instead of the original 7.62x51, which increases its overall range of up to 1750 meters. It is also equipped with custom optics and an EMP Radiator Muzzle Break. Upon firing, the EMP Radiator helps make the bullet become more effective against electrical targets.

### *Vanilla*

Amélie's Emotional Support Doggo Bot. Vanilla is a doggo bot that was found and refurbished for recon and support. Outfitted with a detachable modified railgun, it is able to shoot a higher velocity shot than their original counterparts (It also has a non-lethal mode).

Amélie treats it more as a pet than a tool, as it is always seen besides her when off duty. She does occasionally use it as a scout to help relay footage that can be synced to her prosthetic arm. It also seems to have a very dog like attitude, as it tends to loyally stay by her side. It can also be playful at times, especially when grouped with Kisu's doggo bot, Vigil.
