Lieutenant

Artemis Maximoff, otherwise known as the Cyborg Ronin, is a synthetic human-mammal cyborg determined on perfecting his skills. Born with the natural talents of both a swordsman and a marksman, Artemis excels at switching between play-styles, either dueling or zoning, to bring his opponents to his knees. As a member and lieutenant of Auxon Enforcement, he is a major protagonist within **Augmented Reality**.

### **Appearance**

Artemis appears mostly human with certain areas of his body being mammal-like, such as his furred hands and feet, and long ears. Apart from that, his back shows a cybernetic spine, indicating the installed Overdrive system. Whenever using specific cybernetic abilities, two cybernetic plates with red LED lights (concealed by holographic technology) will appear and move to the front of Artemis' head, hiding his face as the two plates become a singular mask. For clothing of choice, he wears a black, modern-like, long-sleeve shirt and he wears black, modern-like pants. For accessories, he wears a trio of straps which intersects with an LED unit which lights up blue, he wears an LED pauldron which lights up blue, and he wears a grey scarf.

### **Personality**

Artemis, despite being semi-serious, is a friendly, yet calm individual who likes to protect those who cannot protect themselves, including those he cares about. Artemis has his own sense of justice which usually leads him to deal with criminality and tyranny whenever he sees the opportunity to do so. He will also refrain from killing unless pressured to do so if absolutely necessary which, later on, may possibly inflict Artemis with regret depending on his view on certain opponents.

### **Lore**

A cyborg swordsman determined to bring criminality to justice. Artemis was born within a family of swordsmen and, even while young, he was gifted with insane natural talents that allow him to take on even a skilled swordmaster. This led him to become one of the greatest swordsman ever conceived. He was willing to perfect his skills further and so he joined Auxon Enforcement to, not only do just that but to also join in on the good fights of enforcing the laws in City Oasis.

In only a few weeks, Artemis managed to climb the ranks and was recognized as a very talented member of Auxon, earning him access to more stronger cybernetics and equipment as well as the title of lieutenant. He now works with the other lieutenants to carry out their duties, enforcing the laws as the most elite soldiers in the city. In his job, he became partners with some of the lieutenants, most notably Cayden, also known as the Enforcer. During their breaks, they sometimes sparred each other and the result would always be the same: they were both as strong as the other.

Everything in Auxon seemed to be easy-going... until one day... news got out that the Fortuna Cyberbreakers, one of cities' worst terrorist organization, had gained access to powerful technology that would, without doubt, make their heinous crimes easier: Fortuna had gained antigravity weapons, most specifically Singularity Cannons. Even though they only had a few of these weapons, reports of numerous casualties were piling up, filling Artemis with much anger. He felt prompted that he must put to an end to this quickly and swiftly and so he began to track down the Singularity Cannons either by searching for sources online or by hunting down Fortuna members and interrogating them.

### **Powers & Abilities**

Wielding a vast array of cybernetics, including two modified weapons, Artemis possesses a wide arsenal of techniques of both a swordsman and marksman, constantly switching between play-styles to establish an unpredictable profile. Using his combat experience, he is capable of rivaling several high-level threats and responding with quick and near instantaneous attacks.

 **AR Mode** | Artemis is able to activate a special Augmented Reality display, utilizing a broad-range sensor to create a 3D augmented image of an object using data from outside the visual spectrum and analysis of possible threats and points of interest.
 **H.A.T.S.** | Artemis has a High Accuracy Targeting System which, when activated, will allow Artemis to target a specific body-part (limbs for example) or any exposable weak-points within his opponents. This can be activated during Overdrive as well, enhancing his precision significantly.
 **Overdrive**    | Upon climbing the ranks up to lieutenant, Artemis gained access to Auxon's more advanced equipment, including a special Overdrive cybernetic. The implant serves as his means of executing his fast and elusive techniques, which, when activated, will slow down his perception of time and increase his speed and agility drastically. While in this state, Artemis’ view of the world will be tainted blue while he creates a trail of afterimages (that fades from white to blue upon creation) whenever he moves. The limit to how fast Artemis can move and cannot exceed is maxed out to Mach 3, a speed faster than sound.

#### **Arsenal & Techniques**

##### **Zandatsu**

    The Zandatsu is one of Artemis two' signature weapons. It is a high-frequency katana with built-in holographic technology as well as an energy-siphoning device which drains opponents cut by its blade of their energy and adds it to Zandatsu's wielder. This weapon is best paired with the use of Overdrive to fully use the swords' fast and elusive potential.

* OVERDRIVE: Active

##### **Retribution**

Retribution is Artemis' two signature weapons. It is a X-11 Pulse Rifle with more advanced built-in holographic technology which replaces the magazines with batteries, making this weapon run purely on energy instead of ammunition. The batteries on the weapon can be recharged via Zandatsu's energy-siphoning device.
