SW1TCH (Mina Marshall) (Earth 64D)

## Waking and Early Career (Aug 2017-Sept 2025)

Mina remembers little from her life before waking up in a dark, dingy alleyway in San Diego. She lived as a homeless person for five years before realising she had a knack for technology, mechanics, engineering, etc. She found a profession in hacking the bank accounts and other online assets of high ranking politicians and businessmen to blackmail and punish them for their dirty deeds.

After working up enough money from her hacking days, Mina built herself a hacker den and amassed a team of hackers to assist her in her mission against the upper class. This team were dubbed "The Hacksore" by the media. By some they were seen as heroes, but by the upper class they were feared and hated.

## Figuring Out The Past (Oct 2025)

After years of work in taking down corrupt politicians and businessmen, Mina Marshall began to wonder who she really was. She sought out her family and only found one name, "James Marshall". James Marshall is the founder and CEO of "Marshall Robotics ltd." This instantly rang close to home for Mina, as she was a genius when it came to technology. Mina (under the guise of her online persona "sW1TCH") began digging through Dr Marshall's history. Deep in the archives of his company's top secret projects, Mina found a project named "Project Scalpel". She was shocked to find that this dead project was a campaign to build android's that looked and acted like real people to defeat the need for soldiers in the military. The project went bust after two and a half years of research and development because the investors discovered Dr Marshall's true intentions weren't as he had stated. He was building the androids to conquer the globe and rule as it's king.

Mina found that the public and media had no clue that this had happened, and this played directly into her hands. She and her team began finding all they could about Dr Marshall and his dark history and his previous plans for world domination. With all her research and Dr Marshall's bank account details ready, Mina began to confront the evil doctor.

She sneaked into the Marshall Robotics Building late at night and found Dr Marshall's office and hid until morning. It wasn't until 9:36am the next morning that Dr Marshall made the biggest mistake of his life by walking into that office. A heavily disguised Mina attacked the doctor and tied him to his desk chair to interrogate him. She inquired about Project Scalpel and his other plans for world domination. What she found was that only one prototype was made by the Scalpel project robotics directors. This prototype was ditched once the project went under. Mina then asked the doctor if he knew who she was while she removed the mask that had covered her face. Dr Marshall stared at Mina with a look of shock, as though he had seen a ghost. He muttered that there was no possible way that Mina could be stood in front of him in that moment. Mina asked what the meaning behind his statement was. "You are the Prototype" he whispered, "Your memory banks were wiped and you were left for scrap."

Mina, in a state of confusion and shock, savagely attacked the doctor, wounding him seriously, then fled. Marshall was left missing an arm, a leg, and his eye, meaning he needed reconstruction surgery and prosthetic limbs made. He swore that he would get his revenge on his creation some day. Mina returned to her team and kept her true identity a secret from the rest of her team, instead she lied and said that Dr Marshall was her father.

## Becoming A Mercenary (Oct 2025 - Nov 2025)

After finding out that she was the product of Project Scalpel, sW1TCH realised that she could instantly download data directly to her brain. Perhaps being an android wasn't as bad as she had thought. The first thing that Mina learnt using the method of digitally downloading abilities was how to fight. She took footage of Mixed Martial Arts fighters and copied their movements and ingrained them in her memory banks. This turned her into a more proficient fighter than even the best professional fighter known to man.

Secondly she learned how to properly shoot a firearm. The tactics used by man made shooting easy for Mina, she was able to shoot straight and hit the target perfectly every single time. She was able to use any kind of gun she wanted, ranging from handguns, to rifles, to rocket launchers, to mounted guns, etc.

With her new found knowledge, sW1TCH was unstoppable. She became not only a hacker, but a mercenary. A mercenary who would not only kill their target, but dig up any dirt the target had on them before they died. She became a hero to the underbelly of society, and a villain to the rest.

## Abilities

### Melee:

Mina is an expert in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts due to downloading combat techniques to her brain. Her fighting knowledge include the arts of: karate, kickboxing, judo, capoeira, stick-fighting, bando, and many, many more. She uses her knowledge of combat to take down corrupt government leaders, businessmen, and politicians, as well as training and sparring with her team at Hacksore. Although they aren't as skilled as Mina, the team are of great assistance.

### Ranged:

sW1TCH is well versed in the use of firearms in battle and stealth situations. She can shoot with 100% accuracy and only takes the shot when she means to. In addition to this, she can take shots without looking to a stunning degree of accuracy. sW1TCH is also talented when using throwables such as grenades, knives, axes, and distractions (glass bottles, sand, etc.)

### Augmentation:

Being an android has its fair share of benefits. Such benefits include the ability to augment your body to add and swap different body parts to tailor your body to the task at hand. Limbs can have compartmentalised weapons such as scythes in one's forearms or blades for feet. In addition to this, different augmentations can deal different types of damage such as shock, ice, or fire. Augmented limbs can also grant passive abilities like quieter footsteps, higher sprint speed, increased strength, fortified defence, and so on and so forth. The possibilities are quite limitless.

### Loadout:

sW1TCH carries with her (at all times):

* 2 electrically charged falchions (single edged swords)
* 2 combat handguns (silenced)
* 3 fragmentation grenades
* 3 flash grenades
* a lightweight combat vest

As well as these, she has also been known to carry:

* an M4 carbine assault rifle (silenced)
* a Barret 50.cal (silenced)
* an EMP
* a UMP 45 (silenced)
* a hunting knife
* throwing knives
* throwing axes

## Introduction to T.A.H. (Feb 2027)

The most eventful day of Mina Marshall's "life" went as such. Dr Marshall (now going by the name "Dr Dread") had launched his plan for revenge on his prototype, and Mina was completely unprepared. Dr Dread attacked with airships and cybernetic upgrades, curtesy of his robotics team. Not to mention the plethora of robot foot soldiers under his command. The doctor sent missile after missile at the Hacksore HQ that sW1tCH resided in. With debris flying every-which-way, Mina had to find a way to escape unseen. She grabbed her handgun and shockblade and sneaked out through the back door of the base and into the sewer. Dread's robot army had taken over the streets, meaning that if sW1TCH wanted to escape from the city, she needed to stay underground.

Following the sewers to the edge of town had gone off without a hitch, but Mina still had to get past the city limit (which, believe it or not, had been commandeered by Dr Dread's robot goons). Outgunned and outnumbered, Mina's best chance was to hop a fence and run. What she didn't know was that these new robots were designed with noise detection in mind, since Dr Marshall was aware of his Prototype's biggest strengths and weaknesses. The robot's instantly detected the clatter of chain-link and surrounded sW1TCH's location.

Mina hopped over the fence and cracked her knuckles. She pulled out her sidearm and electric sword and began battle with a platoon of robots that had been created to destroy her. She pulled off an impressive display of acrobatics and ass-kickery to defeat the group before re-enforcements could be called, however the there wasn't much time before someone would notice the robotic carnage that had taken place, so sW1TCH had to flee as fast as robotly possible.

She came upon a gargantuan doorway on a grand pedestal. It seemed out of place, she had been this way out of town before and never seen the structure. She approached, placing her right foot at the base of the doorway. In that moment, a portal exploded into existence. This drew the attention of the robot army, meaning that Mina's only way out was through the portal.

She emerged in a new location, but she had no clue that she was in a new dimension to her. She was in the dimension at the centre of the multiverse, 1A. She continued her escape through this new location. Her appearance through the portal sparked an anomaly on the T.A.H. security systems. The Leader of T.A.H., Crimson, addressed the anomaly personally and went to greet the new inhabitant of Earth 1A. He was greeted with confusion and hostility. He confronted sW1TCH, who took aim with her handgun and began to interrogate.

Crimson explained that Mina had just passed through an eternity gate and ended up in another dimension. He knew that she had been in some form of extreme danger to be led to the gate and for it to open, so he inquired what had happened. She explained that her home had been destroyed and her city taken over by her father. Crimson told sW1TCH that with the assistance of the Anomalous Heroes, her home could be reclaimed.

sW1TCH became a part of the team of heroes, her skills were valuable and she had an oddly just heart for one that was artificial. She was destined for greatness, and her future was bright. Her mission was obvious, return home and reclaim her city from her father. It was going to be difficult, but with her new friends it was going to be a whole lot easier.

## T.A.H. Career

As one of the first members of the Anomalous Heroes, sW1TCH was a part of most big events in the T.A.H. timeline until her gruesome end in 2076. Most importantly, sW1TCH was present during the War of the Gods and the Blur, both of which were horrific events that she had to battle through. More personally, sW1TCH watched over Universe 64D (her home universe) and fought all threats that came to her Earth, including Dr Marshall, and the Terrorbytes.

## The Return to 64D (Feb 2030)

3 years after the invasion of San Diego on Earth 64D, sW1TCH returned, with her squad of hero pals, to her original home to fight the oppressive warlord that was Dr James Marshall. The Anomalous Heroes had dealt with bigger threats than this, but for sW1TCH this felt like the hardest task to ever befall her. Upon returning to the old Hacksore base, Mina Marshall found that the plot of land that the base had been hadn't been cleaned or resold. Dr Dread had left the carnage there as a lesson for all who dare oppose him. This meant that all of her friends were still dead and buried in that rubble.

Fuelled by rage, sW1TCH and the rest of the team begin on a warpath to the Marshall Robotics building. This was going to be the setting of the first and last meetings of Mina and James Marshall, one way or another. The team battled their way through the streets and up the 60 floors of the M.R. building, where they finally encountered their foe.

Marshall's cybernetic enhancements had almost taken over his entire body. He no longer had any of his naturally given limbs, for they had been replaced by weapons of oppression and torture. Not only that but his army of robots had become more advanced than Mina had known them to be. The team instantly knew that they were in for a more treacherous fight than they had initially thought.

Deadtime, Crimson, Blazerunner, and Reaper battled the army of robots, leaving sW1TCH to focus on her worst enemy. The battle lasted a grand total of 3 hours, Dr Dread was a tough adversary, he and sW1TCH were equally matched. The heroes needed more firepower, their only remaining option was to detonate an EMP. The problem with this is that this wouldn't just effect Dread and his army, but sW1TCH as well. She was dedicated to avenging her fallen hacker friends, and if this meant ending her own existence then it was worth it. She detonated the EMP without hesitation, rendering the robot army and Dr Dread's cybernetic enhancements totally useless.

At this point, sW1TCH noticed that she was still standing. The Marshall Robotics team responsible for creating Mina had used a revolutionary form of insulation that could prevent EMPs from damaging her circuitry. This material was too expensive to be used in mass production, so she is the only known machine to be built with that material.

sW1TCH approached her crippled enemy, asking if he had any last words to say. In an attempt to bargain for his life, Dr Marshall said how proud he was of his creation, to which sW1TCH promptly responded to by delivering a 9mm round to the centre of his forehead. Dr Dread had been defeated, his reign over 64D had ended as swiftly as it began. Before returning to 1A, the saw it fit to give Hacksore the burial they deserved. Since their bodies had deteriorated past the point of recognition, their skeletons were cremated as one and their ashes were scattered in the foundations of their memoriam statue at the sight of their base.

Upon returning to the T.A.H. base of operations, sW1TCH felt a huge weight had been lifted off her chest. The villain who had plagued her mind and soul for the last 3 years had finally met his demise, nothing had ever, nor ever will feel more satisfying than this.
