## Profile

"*REKKA

Rekka's success doesn't come from fancy words like "synergy" or "mercy." Rekka's role in production gets results because she only tolerates the cream of the crop - no silly jobbers or grandstanders allowed!

In fact, the rules in production are super simple: no mistakes or you will answer to Rekka in the ring.*"
―Character profile on the Hi-Fi Rush website

## Appearance

Rekka is a tall, tanned-muscular yet slightly beautiful woman with black side swept hair and red-yellow highlights. She wears a white button-up shirt with black/yellow arrows on the shoulders and her name on the back, a red tie with yellow stripes, and wrestling gloves with white laces and gray tips. Additionally, she wears black tights with purple and white strips and pro wrestling boots with white laces. Notably, Rekka wears a wrestler's belt with the word "BOSS" highlighted on her buckle.

Under the gloves, Rekka's robotic implants consist of her red mechanical arms. It is currently unknown if she has any other robotic implants further than this.

## Personality

Rekka tends to speak loudly at all times, and has an aggressive approach to both dealing with problems and her job - as stated on her Model Viewer profile, she equates her own efficiency to a body count. She typically refers to herself in third person, and makes grand statements or even threats at anyone even when speaking over trivial matters. She also has a hands-on approach to combat and, when QA-1MIL isn't available, has stated that she prefers to deal with defects herself rather than relying on Production's security to do it for her.

## Powers and abilities

Rekka's arm prosthetics make her an incredibly strong and devastating opponent, using their pistons to tear metal apart with nothing but her hands. Though the rest of her implants are unknown, she also has a resistance to electricity across the rest of her body, and can absorb it to become electrified herself and unleash shockwaves. Rekka also knows a variety of wrestling moves, and can create holograms to extend her range of grapples further.

## Trivia

* She is a homage to professional wrestling in her appearance and fighting style, her mannerisms, and habit of speaking in the third-person reference the late WWE wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage.
* Rekka's cinematic grab attack used in her boss fight has some notable resemblance to Potemkin's Heavenly Buster in the Guilty Gear series.
* After defeating QA-1MIL, a scoreboard is shown saying that there were no defects for 994,543,515 days, implying Vandelay Technologies has been in business for over 2.7 million years, which is virtually impossible. Because of her habit of equating her achievements to how many units she has destroyed in the name of a perfect record, it's possible she's either counting defective units, or measuring company days differently.
* The song that plays during her boss fight, 'Free Radicals' by the Flaming Lips, is actually a cover. The director stated that there are moments where the beat "drops out" and that it would've been difficult for most players to identify the beat. Because they were determined to get the song into the game, the song was covered and claps were added to aid in beat identification.
* Korsica, Rekka, Zanzo and Roxanne are the only characters not named after food or drinks. However, there is a type of ramen called 'Rekka Ramen'.
