Ria kratos

Ria has Kratos syndrome, lots of her lines are direct and to the point. She is caring but not quite capable of verbally expressing it. She is visually gruff and joyless, but enjoys poking fun from time to time. She's genuinely curious and 100% of the time motions or directly puts herself in harms way to protect/shield others from harm. She's seen as mean and absent but she is moreover focused on duty. She is not forthcoming about much of anything, and usually leaves things open for others to piece together (to hone their knowledge if time allows, particularly allies) this is superceded when actual danger comes to play.

She is a full-cloaker, with a deep emotional bond with her symbiote, capable of cloaking herself entirely from view for around a 40-ish seconds stably, minute-ish with exhaustion, and low or acceptible levels for hours. She relates the former to holding her breath while swimming (below any other actions) and the latter to keeping a muscle tensed for an extended period of time.

Her shield is detachable and she usually gives one to her companion. After her experiences in spark of the inferno, she usually keeps an extra on her (deactivated) in the event she must shield someone she comes across again.

Her red armor was first mauled w/o shield in the woods, then shot near and far, then shot to pieces in Jaime's village. She runs with her undersuit for the last third of SOTI. She wears a Black red and red outfit with her titular white mask, but this suit is a little scaled back and leans heavier into her Aztec/Mexican side as she feels uncomfortable in the armor her mother once praised and connected to the culture she raized Valera over.

Her second costume is a sci fi jaguar warrior. She has her usuall mask, now painted with aztec war paint, her shoulder plates feature aztec war symbology and her chestplate has jaguar print. She wears a cloak adorned with feathers and boots with gel casings resembling feathers. Her cargo pants have integrated knee caps and she wears a tri-cut waist cape overthem. Her knee silhouette is shoulder and skirt heavy with a pictographic jaguar skull forming her helm. Her gauntlets are vambraces for otherwise uncovered arms. The other Pioneers on misison use the standard tanto armor with the Aztec symbology on the shoulder de-marking their shared squad. Ria's secondary shield has a Chimalli drawn on it.

------------It's unconfirmed whether or not Ria draws the jaguar spots during or before The Infernal Storm, because the costume change is explained (in a prompt 0 words) by Ria rejecting use of the tanto armor, owing to her mother's words.

The armor is HW2 core on the torso and obviously Aztec at the skirt and faux sandal level. Otherwise, the undersuit is a "Tactical" soldiers' outfit with a "T-shirt," cargo-eque pants, knee and elbow and forearm pads (with aztec decor) and boots (with Aztec sandal styling) Her helm is a mold wherein a facemask can rest (ala Captain Enoch in SW), however, this mask functions as such even without the armor.

Change Delia's name to Plestia.

Plestia draws a really awful chimalli on herself when shielded.

Also: EDIT Ria's Mom's dialague to be more referencial to her position that "humanity used to form strong empires, such as japan or britain and those should be harkened to, not playing with the galaxy's filfth" to show her villainous heel-turn.

Styled in LEGO as a monochrome Black Panther torso (with silver as feathers) and black shoulder and macuahuitl mount.

ALSO: if not stated elsewhere, the macuahuitl is Ria's primary weapon and she primarily uses pistols or specialties aside from that. She kills the dinner party with it, then the bear with it, comes ready to charge with it when re-entering the house, has to put it aside for the mercy mission, but picks it back up again for the cottage (where it really shines as she has no other weapon) It's present as her final option during the village fight and is confiscated afterwards. Like the rest of her gear, she loses it at the train terminal and ventures the rest of the trip without it. But after commending her clean-up of Valera, her boss asserts they found it with her transponder. The train terminal gives her boss pause before she just commends ria for getting out of there.
