BRIENNE-218

**BRIENNE-218** is the frontline warrior and vanguard for the G/NEX, a rebel movement that aims to overthrow the megacorporation, once and for all. She is known for her large size and great strength, and she has even more firepower with her fearsome sword and a nigh-indestructible shield, which supplements her already nigh-impenetrable armour, which can easily shrug off most attacks.

She is noted as a symbol of courage and hope for the innocent, motivating them to grow stronger both physically and mentally in order to eventually vanquish the common enemy.

## Biography

### Background

Brienne Lasorelle is a strange woman with a privileged life. She has spent the most of her life in her hometown of Dawn feeling both ridiculed and respected. She is privileged and well-known for her beauty as a member of the House Lasorelle. What frightens the populace is her size and build, which explains her enormous strength, since she is recognised as one of the strongest women of all time. They all reside in Mount Chronos, a massive mountain in Valenthia, according to house rules. She spent most of her life staring at the mountaintops as sunlight lightens the entire region, and as well as spending her night time with Diana, who serves as a polar opposite to her in terms of personality, and aspect; Whom was her later love interest.

Brienne can be headstrong and judgemental, but she is also forthright, honest, devoted, and driven. Despite receiving bad treatment by non-Chronos Valenthian knights, Brienne clings to a naive idealised vision in knighthood. Despite the fact that she has no expectation of ever being recognised by society for her achievements, she works to live up to the ideal of a genuine knight at all times.

In exchange for her determination, she become a lifelong holy knight of the House Lasorelle, defending Mount Chronos with her enlightened Zeus Sword and the Shield of Light, and she is believed to be filled with the sun's fire in Valenthia. Her skin is gleaming with starfire, and her eyes are blazing with the force of the heavenly aspect within. She is clad in gold armour and carries a horrible burden of ancient wisdom, giving enlightenment to allies and a painful death to any evil that dares to oppose her. She is also confirmed to have a lesbian relationship with the Scorn of Oberon, Diana; Their love is said to be written in the stars.

### Life in PROJECT's terror

Brienne is yet another victim of the megacorporation's quest for global dominance since the infamous Riots of 2999. As a result, her family and approximately half of House Lasorelle were slaughtered; she vowed vengeance on PROJECT and was present during the mass slaughter in June 2999. When she sees Lundgren's smug expression, she wishes she could rip him in half if she ever had the chance, which could be true. She went on a rampage after being drafted into the corporate draft and quickly refused cybernetics. As a result, she was given heavy duty assault armour in exchange for her enchanted weapons, which she simply accepted and upgraded into PROJECT's designs.

She is now a brute warrior after defecting from PROJECT and transforming into BRIENNE-218, a heavy armour combatant. BRIENNE-218 has seen the truth behind the neon light of PROJECT and has joined ASHE-159 and the G/NEX rebellion.

### A Call to Arms

During A Call to Arms, BRIENNE-218 quickly defected from PROJECT corporation after being caught downloading information on the development of Titan-class mechas, such as OBELISK and even ANNIHILATOR by PROJECT VATROX. She has also witnessed Tianna Maximus's murder at the hands of FIONA-384. She believes that the latter is under mind control and intends to defect from the corporation. She left the corporation after a few weeks of planning, much to VATROX's surprise.

*She went to the Obsidian Mountains in an effort to rest after running away from the SUPREME headquarters for a straight 100 hours, as she fought them all that consumed her energy.*

When cornered by PROJECT forces in Brimstone, Freya; BRIENNE-218 held her own against vastly superior enemy numbers, refusing to yield or surrender. However, after Muldoon Lundgren ordered her assassination to cover up the corporation's crimes against nevanity, she is struck by a SCOUT Walker mecha through a kick. She is on the verge of death until she is rescued by the ragtag resistance, the G/NEX, led by ASHE-159. She jumped in without hesitation.

### PROJECT-G/NEX War

   BRIENNE-218 is a heavily armoured combatant of the G/NEX resistance. She combines offence and defence into one powerful combo, armed with a powerful GRIDIRON sword and an impenetrable PHALANX IC3 shield. As a result, she provides tactical support, or serve as a frontline fighter.

#### Rampancy: The Enforcer Strikes

   Contrary to popular assumption, BRIENNE-218 has played an important role during the *Rampancy*. Before joining the resistance to stop OBELISK, she performed extreme acts of heroism, such as single-handedly stopping an entire riot instigated by PROJECT police and G/NEX supporters, saving thousands of children from PROJECT's acts of destruction in Technovolk, Aqtazen and Cianna, but most notably assisting the G/NEX resistance and allies through liberation, in what are said to be concentration camps of all opposers who have threatened the mega corporation and their rule. The Knight has rejoined the G/NEX resistance group for another mission, this time to investigate and analyse the ongoing the incident.

As a result, she is eager to engage; having learned that there is a Titan-class mecha in the battlefield, believing it is worthwhile to pit her own strength against it. When they arrived in Technovolk, they immediately fought off invading PROJECT forces before coming across OBELISK. BRONZAMITE-625 challenged OBELISK when he attacked, only to be knocked out senseless. FIONA-384's TRI/NETIC squad was also unsuccessful, as TAGGART surprised OBELISK by spearing him through a structure, making things go worse than they already seem through a demonstration of a rampage.

BRIENNE-218 valiantly leaped on top of OBELISK after most of the resistance had failed to do any harm, only to be flung away after attempting to sever his head. Everyone has decided to retreat since there is no other choice. They met and welcomed BRONZAMITE-625 and JINX-362, whom the mecha transformed into a car for them to travel away from the chaos, since interference is pointless when two titans battle out of control. She is surprised by the introduction of TRISTANNA-651, who had rescued them from pursuing PROJECT soldiers while riding on BRONZAMITE-625. As a consequence, they have safely returned to their base of operations in the Panamoan Republic.

#### The COALESCENCE

##### Old Rivals, Same Place

Before joining the resistance's quest on Rutherland, BRIENNE-218 went on a solo mission. She intends to explore her shattered nation, Valenthia, as part of her mission. Despite her request to operate solo, ASHE-159 orders FIONA-384 to accompany her. BRIENNE-218 was flown into Valenthia by FIONA-384 on a NEXIJET. As a result, she was able to penetrate the ruins undetected. Not to add, BRIENNE-218 aims to assassinate her lifelong nemesis, Varus, now known as PROJECT VATROX, after discovering that he was complicit in the Valenthian slaughter. 384 sympathises with her, agreeing that everyone in the megacorporation should pay for their irredeemable misdeeds.

BRIENNE-218 arrives at the devastated kingdom, which is the castle of House Lasorelle; she convinces FIONA-384 to explore the wrecked castle, but the latter declines after doing initially, proving that she is capable of doing so on her own. Instead, The second-in-command explores the remains of her family's lands. However, while she is mourning the loss of her entire family as a result of her discovery while sifting the wreckage, PROJECT has tracked her position despite their best efforts, to which FIONA-384 was swiftly alerted, and she ends up being encircled by PROJECT forces. BRIENNE-218 improved her stealth abilities by evading patrolling SCOUT Walkers, PATROL-05, PL14 bots, KNIGHTs, and even flying PRJ-135 POLICE AIVs in the air.

As a result, she runs across PROJECT VATROX, and they both have flashbacks about their previous rivalry. As a result, it didn't take long for them to start fighting, with BRIENNE-218 requesting her companion to stay still so she could fight alone. BRIENNE-218's heavy armour prevents her from using her shield against VATROX's arrows, but as VATROX unleashes more powerful arrows, she decides to defend herself with the sword and slice the arrows. She places her shield on the ground after VATROX managed to avoid her sword blows, effectively pushing him airborne and disarming him. He is immediately defeated, and as a result, he orders the patrolling PROJECT soldiers to assassinate FIONA-384 when she refused to be captured.

Due to this, the two decided to evacuate quickly as a small force RUBICORE forces have arrived in the scene and annihilated the PROJECT forces in Valenthia. Back to the base, they discussed what they have discovered, FIONA-384 has concluded that maybe some of her family are alive, and captured. However, since VI-516 went missing, The two decided to join the resistance's current mission right after their quest has been abruptly sidetracked. The sudden news of her friend and fellow rebel that has gone missing allowed her to quickly join the resistance's quest to investigate her sudden disappearance.

##### Unlikely Ally

As soon as they reached Rutherland, there has been minimal things to do, but to destroy incoming PROJECT Grunts and robots. BRIENNE-218 is perplexed by the fact that VI-516 collaborated with PSYLOCKE-832 to stop a heist and recover the A.I of the security company, COALESCENCE. The TRI/NETIC also confirmed that a chase has ensued, as they see a wrecked truck. Upon walking to the wreckage, they stumble upon VI-516 and PSYLOCKE-832. They see her handing an AI chip to the elite assassin.

BRIENNE-218 made the choice to bravely stand in front of her, which PSYLOCKE-832 offered the rebels an advice, shakes her hand before she walks away to meet her fellow agents. BRIENNE-218 states to the entire resistance group that she has uploaded a massive amount of data regarding PROJECT corporation, including their headquarters around the globe, secret facilities, mechas, military paraphernalia and so much more. Due to this, SCYLLA-028 wants to periodically exchange calls with her, as suggestion from her.

They all return the base safe, but VI-516 is apparently exhausted from the previous chase and an intense fight. She offers her electrolytes and gives her a drink, but perhaps the best aspect was to tell stories about their lives, drink liquor again (As VI-516 is a cyborg) and even made ASHE-159 let loose and be energetic.

### Going All Out

#### The Heroic Knight in Obrinia

In the events of Going All Out, BRIENNE-218 has become a symbol of hope, due to her endless acts of heroism throughout the entire planet. As a result, she has earned praise and admiration to the G/NEX resistance's supporters and allies. Notably, she was busy riddling the megacorporation's presence in Valenthia, alongside FIONA-384. However, the latter quickly departed fr the country, as she was called upon the city of Obrinia, in the Panamoan Republic. Notable, she is widely referred as a Knight, which is the truth and a thing from her ancient days.

BRIENNE-218 also acknowledged to despising zombies, especially exo zombies after learning of their existence. As a result, ASHE-159 allows her to join the current mission, which is to reinforce Obrinia's defences. She is overjoyed and enthusiastic, allowing her to quickly travel to the city and await additional commands from the leader, or RUBICORE. Much to her displeasure, the RUBICORE soldiers only allowed FIONA-384 and ASHE-159 to test their defences by circling the city walls.

When the forces of the megacorporation invaded the city, they were caught off guard by their significantly advanced tactical manoeuvres that quickly contested their soldiers to a massive degree. As a result, PROJECT sends their best warriors, notably SHADOW, GRIMM and GRANDIOSE to effectively turn the tide. Due to this, she was angered on why is she not deployed to the city, until she was quickly relieved when the order is given to assist on defending the city. As a result, she was the first G/NEX to drop into Obrinia and help RUBICORE repel the corporate invaders away.

Upon arrival, she quickly wasted no time assisting the soldiers against PROJECT's forces. Even with their elite military unit known as the Command Line, they aren't skilled enough to defeat the combined forces of the G/NEX, their rebels and the RUBICORE military force. She also acknowledged the assistance provided by PSYLOCKE-832. However, she was unsatisfied, why is VATROX not present; She concludes that he is a coward.

#### Siege of Daitoshi

She was busy on handling various war operations of RUBICORE, and facing some scuffle against Gucci Intermittent agents, as she took the risk of recovering their own resources from the megacorporation. Afterwards, she decides to include herself in the Siege regarding Daitoshi. FIONA-384 ordered her to take advantage of their dramatic entrance, and she simply nodded without question, as she knows that shield bashing her way into the fight is one of her key tactics in a glorious battle. Notably, she was witnessed by the Gucci Intermittent like SCYLLA-028, unknown to her they seem to have plans to use them for their own benefit.

BRIENNE-218 took the initiative, barging forcefully through the city, allowing the rebels to overrun the army while activating a plasma barrier to protect herself and everyone else from heavy artillery. They chose to break up as a counter-tactic due to the massive amount of artillery unleashed at them. HAYABUSA-096 was notable for bringing SHIRO-113 back into the fight, thereby shifting the tide of battle. Later, ASHE-159 arrived, having killed three Meviksa Predators in the way. EQUINOX-612 protected everyone from the deployed Manticore gas by using his CONTINUUM BREAK ultimate to reverse the course of action, causing the Manticore gas to detonate harmlessly outside Daitoshi.

#### Liberation: Radiant Dawn

In "Liberation" BRIENNE-218, FIONA-384, and SCYLLA-028 have been deployed to their home country of Valenthia. With or without assistance, the country must be liberated from the grip of the megacorporation. It was the day they had hoped for, since the three sought to free their home from PROJECT's grip. SCYLLA-028 admits she'll do it for her mother and everyone else.

ASHE-159 ordered a three-man team to deploy into Valenthia. The objective is to free the country from the megacorporation. With or without assistance. SCYLLA-028, BRIENNE-218 and FIONA-384 have been deployed as a result. They have unearthed a deep incident: after an unsuccessful attempt to contain a riot in a Valenthia prison, PROJECT unleashes the Manticore bioweapon to quell the uprising. The Manticore explosion, however, instead of killing the rioters, it effectively reanimated them as zombies. Three Command Line platoons are sent in to contain the undead forces, but only one survives, and the others are sent to an *ATLAS* research centre for further investigation. The research is conducted in secret, without the employees' knowledge, at a clandestine section known as *Sublevel 13*. The trapped zombies escape their confinement and invade the facility one night.

When the team arrives, they are puzzled as to why the site is so silent. After learning of the not-so-noticeable zombie event, SCYLLA-028 insists on remaining inconspicuous; She and FIONA-384 are confident they'll make it out alive if the plan works. SCYLLA-028 complains about why a three-man squad was dispatched rather than the entire group, to which ASHE-159 responds over comms that the rest are dealing with various difficulties in the Aryaine Kingdom, and sending everyone may risk them into becoming zombies when mistakes arise. To guide the crew, EQUINOX-612, to to everyone's surprise, gives them a schematics of the location and the facility, alongside possible threats that they can encounter. They came to a halt as they came to the derelict ATLAS research facility.

Much to his disappointment, **BRIENNE-218** was able to pinpoint his locations. He shot an infinite volley of arrows to exacerbate their coming demise, and he intended to employ the zombies to kill them, as he had planned a tactical scenario for that strategy. However, his perch is compromised after **BRIENNE-218** launched her *JUDGEMENT* ultimate ability on him, effectively crashing him to the ground, heavily damaged. Upon gaining consciousness, he quickly sees a zombie horde slowly approaching the rebels' position. Taking advantage of the horde, he directed the mass of zombies to the team, while he observes from the tree tops, knowing that he may get mauled to death by the infected if he makes a wrong move. After the horde has successfully surrounded the team and are doing their best efforts to survive, he delivers a message to their respective HUD in order to distract them.

She immediately deploys a grenade, which is a tracking explosive from PSYLOCKE-832. She carefully utilises her shield to put the explosive in front of him before throwing it at him. VATROX avoids the shield and shoots it with his arrows, but the explosive hovers towards and lands right in his face, wounding him. She used her ultimate ability once more to disperse the endless crowd of zombies around them and rapidly beheads him, although he is still conscious by sending them a final message.

BRIENNE-218 killed him for good, as his detached head lost its consciousness and she let SCYLLA-028 throw his body to the remaining horde of zombies. As the enemy dies, she sees the "sun" rise again after another dawn.

#### The Exposure

BRIENNE-218 has repeatedly used the media to promote the G/NEX resistance furthermore so that the rebellion can acquire allies in order to ease the fight against the war on PROJECT; So much that she ends up having her own poster imprinted in various locations around Valenthia, Aryaine Kingdom and the Panamoan Republic. This however, parallels a little similar to ASHE-159, as she had "propaganda" posters everywhere on the planet due to her global recognition as a capable resistance leader, and a competent warrior.

### Technological Lies

#### G/NEX's Demolisher

In Technological Lies, BRIENNE-218 has been actively fighting throughout the lands in the Aryaine Kingdom, destroying megacorporation property and conducting endless missions as a tactical support, serving as the backbone to the G/NEX and smaller resistance groups as they fight PROJECT in their own territory. However, ASHE-159 requests her presence as they prepare for *Operation: Redeeming Brimstone*. Notably, she made a strategical move that quickly fall in favour of the alliance against the megacorporation, rendering PROJECT's MANTICORE supplies useless after she effectively turned it into rubble.

#### Confrontation

However, she followed an agreement formed by the leader, FIONA-384 and SCYLLA-028. It is a counter tactic that involves infiltration of the SUPREME headquarters, to effectively confront Muldoon Lundgren, knowing that exposing him as a group will quickly make his megacorporation crumble, and his own people would turn against him, likely to face the consequences of their nefarious work in PROJECT. While their assassin and duelist have rendered the security useless, she catches up and ASHE-159 follows up to them, intending to finish it once and for all. However, BRIENNE-218 asks the leader if she can rip him in half, knowing that he is responsible for the massacre of her own people.

As ASHE-159, SCYLLA-028, FIONA-384, and BRIENNE-218 enter the lower floors, HAYABUSA-096 joins them, recalling his vow to destroy the entire SUPREME building after the victory. HAYABUSA-096, SHIRO-113, and TRISTANNA-651 made quick work of the underground floors' security, eliminating all personnel they encountered and allowing the few innocent employees to flee for their lives. They then cleared the laboratories and directed the smaller resistance groups to save the victims who were still alive, which they did quickly. After that, they fought their way up until the 300th floor, which took a considerable amount of time.

The time has come as they all confront Lundgren. He simply stands in front of them, seemingly unafraid of the defectors from his megacorporation. He mocks them, believing that killing him will not bring the war to an end, despite the fact that PROJECT is losing it. 218 snaps and asks the leader, 159; For the permission to kill him. However, Muldoon Lundgren outsmarts her by pulling a device with the intention of locking them in place, but she is relieved after SCYLLA-028 threw a kunai at his hand, preventing it. Afterwards, they listened to a whole "lecture" regarding the megacorporation's true origins. After that, they simply nocked him out and the Iceborn leader dictates that his life should be ended by the people, not them.

As the event comes, she did most of the work by humiliating him, even tying up as the crowd has slowly caused his demise, ensuring his demise, and later burned. She initially wanted to rip him in half, but relented after the group has concluded that that an evil fool like him deserves to meet his fate at the hands of the people.

### Codename: REVIVAL

During this aspect of the war, BRIENNE-218 is on her free time alongside VI-516. They crack jokes and hang out as there are no visible combat operations yet, even going so far to make the knuckle cracker play video games with ASHE-159. However, they were alarmed after their long week, realising that PROJECT has sent Command Line forces to an invasion, to.... Rutherland! This earns a quick order from the leader to mobilise as they used a NEXIJET to travel in the country while they make efforts to avoid being shut down by anti aircraft batteries of the Command Line.

As they make it to the capital of Rowley, they have discovered that COALESCENCE has fallen. However, they have witnessed several operatives in combat, and one of them was witnessed by herself, the knight herself saying that their "elite" has been wounded. In return, they all found SHADOW and attempted to kill him, but he escaped, only to find a wounded PSYLOCKE-832, The latter actually proved to be stubborn as she refused help despite her condition, but admits that she prefers to die as a hero. The six warriors (including to her) that are the closest and most trusted of the assassin haven't taken this lightly, as she died.

However, JINX-362 revives her per suggestion of the six, as a bright beam of lighted emerged upon the sky, which they discovered it to be originating in the Panamoan Republic. They all concluded that Michael Nexima must've used a distraction. As they all defend the Obsidian Assassin and gather the remaining COALESCENCE operatives while the Command Line has sent a large mecha cavalry to destroy them. As they all suffer at the extremely overwhelming threat, the entire cavalry disappeared after it was consumed by a large ball of spherical plasma.

They were saved by a reborn hero, the REDEEMER-865. PSYLOCKE-832 magically recovers and meets him, which concludes the fact that her main motive is to revive him, which BRIENNE argued that ASHE-159 may not be the key to stopping PROJECT once and for all, but rather him, the GUARDIAN. After that, they all decided to reprieve in their headquarters, allowing everyone to rest, even taking the remaining COALESCENCE operatives with them.

But she has been left with a question: Now with PSYLOCKE-832 reunited with her revived heroic wife, what is next for them, and for the megacorporation?

### Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum

#### Premonition

ASHE-159 leads her, VI-516 and SHIRO-113 as they foil PROJECT SHADOW's efforts on leading the Command Line in their irrevocable loss in the seemingly ongoing war. Notably, she is able to tank numerous of his attacks, and SHIRO-113 has struck his blade on the latter's helmet, demanding a fight immediately. Afterwards, their mission was a success and the Iceborn leader decides to depart for Brimstone, Freya; Much to her cluelessness, and pretty much everyone in the group.

When they discovered that ASHE-159 had vanished without a trace, they immediately converged on one obvious location: Brimstone, Freya. She has joined forces with LILIAN-395, much to their surprise. As the warriors try to persuade her not to do her thing, FIONA-384 was given interim leadership, but 159 intends to make the second-in-command a leader if she dies soon, and orders everyone to depart. Without notice, the de facto commander orders them to leave in unison, looking divided by the division.

However, they quickly redeployed to the same place as they destroy SLIPSTREAM, and find the dying ASHE-159. Contrary to what they expect, their plans to bury ASHE-159 is thwarted as a giant figure slowly marches upon them. It was ANNIHILATOR himself. BRIENNE-218 knows he is the most powerful tyrant they'll ever face as she intends to test her skills against him, but they all became banished due to the REALM OF DESTRUCTION ability, but they luckily survive as OLIVEIRI-709 used a MIST to shroud them from the impact, but they all ended up being transported to a lonely, radically different dimension.

It was the Digital Realm.

#### Foreboding Duel

However, it was revealed that OLIVEIRI-709 was able to save the group from certain death by shrouding them in a holographic cloud that appeared to be emanating from the domain of the mecha lord. He is deeply saddened by her seeming betrayal, leading him to conclude that everyone must be sent to the Digital Realm. This will be their last fight, and they are plainly outmatched. They all fall harmlessly in the realm, looking shocked by the drastic change in his world's appearance, but when they observe the tyrant not being able to discover them yet, the rebels have agreed to find perfect hiding sites to avoid capture, and find a way out of the dimension. It was futile, apparently.

#### Duel For Fate

BRIENNE-218 and the rest of the warriors prepare for the duel against ANNIHILATOR, which will decide their fate. Unlike the others, she seemed eager to die, despite the obvious reason that they are outmatched. As they all prepare to confront ANNIHILATOR, they see his perfect control over his own dimension, which confirmed his plan to take over Nexonia Prime by merging the Digital Realm with the physical world, but he ends up accidentally reviving ASHE-159 in the cyberspace. After fully opening her eyes against him, OLIVEIRI-709 now decides to side with the G/NEX rebels. He simply shrugged, knowing that reconstructing her memories foreshadowed her betrayal. EION-013 swears to destroy him, knowing that his wife was brainwashed to be a cold-blooded killer for the megacorporation. The rebels try to play mind games with him, claiming that Muldoon Lundgren's death caused PROJECT to lose and photographing it as proof.

The mecha overlord does not waver from the facts, knowing that his plan will cause PROJECT to rise from the ashes once more. He even admits that a man leading a megacorporation is to blame for its downfall, demonstrating that a nevian element as leadership is inefficient to an extraterrestrial megacorporation; indicating that he is the true leader. The rebels did not take him lightly and assaulted him in all directions. He laughs at them, knowing that no matter how clever their strategies were, they lacked the heavy firepower to beat him. It was a one-sided struggle, and he actually plays with them, earning his boredom, before ordering his holographic minions to slaughter them; obviously, almost everyone in the group is no match for him.

BRIENNE\_218 notably hold her ground longer than most. SCYLLA-028 gets cornered so badly that she is later encircled by the group as they fight together to repel his army. However, as the time goes by and the fight has become more violent, OLIVEIRI-709 unleashed a global beam that heavily damaged him, but she is angered by the loss of VI-516, SHIRO-113 and HAYABUSA-096 as the tyrant has killed them despite the power of the GHOST's railgun. They have allowed the remaining warriors to store their consciousness to the realm, allowing them to revive indefinitely whenever they get killed in the duel.

This was demonstrated when BRIENNE soloed ANNIHILATOR for a whole, and died from a vicious series of stomps, but gets revived again and her corpse disappeared as her new body caused a glitch that disoriented him. However, they are all trapped as he picks up both ASHE-159 and LILIAN-395. Apparently, he confronts the latter for betrayal and 159 being the leader of the rebellion that is now responsible for the megacorporation's defeat. However, OLIVEIRI-709 cleverly frees herself and shoots him again with a DAWNING WAVE, freeing both Iceborn warriors and shielding them from damage.

BRIENNE-218 notably used JUDGEMENT to lock him in place, for a while. As ANNIHILATOR emerges in front of them after the effect, with his minions surrounding him, he ordered them to stay put, seeking to quickly destroy the resistance by himself, rooting them in the same location, and he triumphantly leaps into the air, clearly intending to execute all of them with a hammer slam. She actually deployed her shield on top of the group, with an energy barrier to enhance their survivability.

#### Unlikely Help

The mecha overlord of annihilation has smashed his hammer down, thoroughly decimating the rebels as their flesh bursts from the impact, deleting them from cyberspace. OLIVEIRI was able to live by employing a shroud, while the rest were reduced to a pile of flesh, she is unable to save them. And all hope is gone, prompting RUBICORE to immediately learn about the dimension and seek to deploy their best soldiers in cyberspace, but without any means of transferring to the unknown. It is clear that her energy barrier barely helped reduce the impact.

However, she survived alongside SCYLLA-028, FIONA-384, TRISTANNA-651, EION-013 and a heavily wounded JINX-362 are left alive. Much to 218's chagrin, OLIVEIRI-709 glares at them in annoyance for saving them against the tyrant twice, but the remaining rebels of the group owes her despite the apparent death of their leader, again. However, the loose cannon has lost her fighting spirit and wants to leave the realm, stating that she's too weak to fight in her current state, looking at her extremely damaged body and a torn left arm.

As a result, OLIVEIRI was forced to return her to the physical world. She then faces ANNIHILATOR in another one-on-one fight, which she managed to dodge a few strikes and briefly block a punch with her shield. After that, she managed to trap him in place with JUDGEMENT, allowing everyone to assault him at less armoured regions of his body, which was beneficial. However, he soon turns the tide by using CORPORATE GRASP to hold them all in place; slowly suffering under the grasp of a magical fist. He abandons them to perish.

*Endless Suffering, was it?*

#### Almost There

As they were about to die from suffocation, PSYLOCKE-832 timely intervenes, earning 218's smile on her. After she purposefully lose a duel against him, REDEEMER-865 perfectly arrives as he leads a massive army of his ANTI-SERVER, and the rebel fighters of the G/NEX. As a result, they were freed from their restraints and are able to pour heavy firepower into PROJECT ANNIHILATOR himself, damaging him to the point of retreating, allowing himself to guard the SERVER after most of his minions are killed.

Seeing ASHE-159 dying from haemorrhage (Contrary to sources that she has been stabbed), she reminds herself to defeat the tyrant once and for all, in order to avenge her. In the fight for the SERVER, REDEEMER-865's giant holographic form trades blows with PROJECT ANNIHILATOR as the surviving G/NEX warriors follow the lead of PSYLOCKE-832 as they seek to destroy the SERVER, the realm's core, knowing that its destruction will ensure the tyrant's demise and save every hero in the same dimension. OLIVEIRI-709, who appears hobbling and with a torn right arm, promises the group that she will restore everything, earning the adoration of EION-013. The gunslinger actually survives a hit from the tyrant, as he is luckily confined in debris rather than decimated by brute force.

As they all make it to the core, 865 noticed that ANNIHILATOR has brought the still-alive soldiers of PROJECT: INTERCEPTOR-409 and Gray Wolf. Much to their dissatisfaction, The tyrant uses the opportunity to create henchmen modelled after SHADOW himself, dozens of them. BRIENNE spits in the ground in dissatisfaction, wanting a fight right away. SCYLLA-028 declares that everyone should take part in destroying the SERVER while killing the tyrant's minions. FIONA-384 admits that it'll take an endless amount of time as they are now facing SHADOW clones, proving extremely difficult for them, but 218 does not falter and fights the clones. They are unable to save OLIVEIRI-709 from being injured, seemingly losing their hope. Until REDEEMER sees their struggle, bulldozes the clones to death and uses his axe to kill the clones with ease.

PSYLOCKE-832 saves their moment by throwing her glaive into his right eye, permanently blinding it and is able to attack him in the head with the same weapon as she stands on top of him and shoots him with her wrist gun, before he throws her out of the way, which she used the momentum to make it inside the SERVER. FIONA-384 then later stalls them as the G/NEX and the ANTI-SERVER are now en route onto Sector 07, the main core of SERVER.

#### End of the Line

BRIENNE-218 is dumbfounded by the amount of Sectors. As a result, she lets SCYLLA-028 make a name for herself by using her scythe to open a control panel, intentionally allowing all of the circuits of the entire SERVER to unfold and expose themselves. However, the entire group is blockaded by ANNIHILATOR's army, surrounding everyone except REDEEMER-865. This caused them to form up a defensive position as the others are torn apart by the clones, or shot by the armed minions, obviously she stood in front of everyone in the army. The tyrant proclaims that destroying the SERVER would result in the destruction of the realm and everyone inside of it, but they are able to see beneath his bluff.

She notably uses her strength and weaponry to destroy the circuits with immense anger and determination, with the others following suit. Afterwards, REDEEMER-865 drove ANNIHILATOR himself to the SERVER's power core, effectively destroying it, forcing her to kill the tyrant, but stopped after his minions have absorbed to his body and later, 218 later witnessed that OLIVEIRI-709 has used PSYLOCKE-832's glaive to deliver the killing blow. After that, all the chances of the tyrant bringing PROJECT in their peak is now lost, forever.

BRIENNE-218 later lead the surviving warriors to the Portal as OLIVEIRI-709 has granted them access. Everyone shakes her hands in respect, trust and camaraderie before they are returned to the Physical World. Knowing that ANNIHILATOR is destroyed forever, she finally had peace and is relieved to see her nation back to its former glory.

## Radiant Aftermath

*Main article: Brienne CRIMSONITE*

Brienne has grieved for Ashe's death in her funeral since the conclusion of *Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum*, although she has now returned to her people in Mount Chronos. She has personally requested that her advanced armour and weaponry be placed somewhere secret, feeling that destroying them would be pointless, even if it is PROJECT technology, knowing that it may be needed again if another war arises. With complete confidence that the planet has attained global peace, she now lives a happy life and spends her solar eclipses dating Diana Lunarii, much to Diana's joy. However, she admits that she is still ready for a fight, if the future era has something in store for her. However, she then chose to destroy her PROJECT gear after thoroughly thinking about using them again.

In the new era, Brienne has resolved to help the warriors one last time in the new period, showcasing a new suit of armour, a fearsome sword, and shield. Brienne has effectively participated in pulverising the renegades and S.O.L.A.C.E to prevent them from accomplishing their ultimate aim as the CRIMSONITE. Her armour was provided by Nexima Robotics Corporation, and she is grateful to Michael Nexima for allowing her to select the best one for her. Despite her recent participation, she declined to join the Legion, preferring to operate independently of the many forces involved in the new war. She observed several events, including Ashe's daughter, Fiona Vance, becoming the new leader and a variety of evildoers.

CRIMSONITE, in particular, has worked with the Tribe of Clemirosa to keep the renegades from winning their final stand during *New Heroes, Another Ultimatum*. At this moment, she met Madeleine, Ashe's daughter, who earned her seat after showing to the world that she was, in fact, just as capable as their G/NEX leader. When the *Legion-Renegade War* ended, Brienne returned to her usual life and continues to do so, despite Spartacus Brightspear's warnings, since she believes the Legion will triumph, regardless of the repercussions, by ending the current war. Even with the threat of reborn overlord, Brienne has made her decision.

*Who knew Brienne was a lesbian? Well. Only her comrades do. As she enjoys her spare time, something alludes to a possibly bigger threat than ANNIHILATOR himself. Could a potential new era of villains stop her from joining the new generation of rebels?*

## Personality

Brienne is a brave and honourable woman. She embodies the "hero archetype," in that she is exceedingly strong, fearless, noble, loyal, and self-assured. She strives to do the right thing no matter what the circumstances are, even going so far as to defy her own orders in order to save people and do what is right. She despises sorcery and evil magic, although she is recognised for her fascination with technology. Seeing the star Osiris CG9B as the "Sun," she has a warm demeanour that contrasts sharply with her love interest, Diana. Her most noticeable characteristic is her unwavering devotion to her allies. This makes her a "big sister" to the people she trusts.

Brienne is not frightened of death and is willing to go to any length to keep her family, allies, and fellow warriors alive, regardless of the threat. Moreover, she prefers harder conflicts over easy ones, feeling that in order to genuinely protect them, she must fight the stronger opponents rather than the weaker ones. As a result, when her companions face an enormously powerful threat, such as massive mechas or ANNIHILATOR himself, Brienne will generally stand in front of them, demonstrating her protectiveness when the latter faced him.

## Abilities

Lacking any cybernetic enhancements due to her natural immense strength and speed, Brienne is notably equipped with an advanced heavy suit of armour, that is composed of Hytherion alloy platings and a Vekron undergarment. This allows her to be bulletproof, deflect impacts from high frequency blades with ease and withstand explosive weapons. She carries an ion charge PHALANX EC3 shield that can deflect all attacks and stun targets due to its variable energy yield output, alongside her GRIDIRON sword with immense power that can slice through anything.

### Technological Capabilities

* **Heavy Duty**: Sacrificing speed for strength and durability, BRIENNE-218's armour is completely bulletproof, and is capable of withstanding the heaviest weapons and even high frequency blades. An optional trophy system is installed which is designed to counter EMP or leaking.

* **DAYBREAK**: She uses her IC3 heavy shield as a battering ram or a weapon.

* **ECLIPSE**: Raising her shield upwards, she grants a temporary force field to her allies.

* **STELLARIS**: BRIENNE-218 charges her sword in preparation for a short-range energy attack. To make it more impressive, it increases the sword's strength and is visible when a yellow beam is emitted during a strike.

* **JUDGEMENT**: She calls upon the might of the star Osiris CG9B to bring down a beam of plasma energy. Enemies caught in the blast are destroyed, or heavily wounded; But allies are shielded from its duration of the beam.

* **Prehensile Deployment System**: Her suit's bulk makes it un-prehensile, but it can be compacted into a large case. Her heavy sword and shield are collapsible and can be accessed by her compartment mounted on the back of her armour. When her weapons are stowed, it amplifies her durability.

* **Med GEL**: Designed to boost her natural healing abilities. And serve as a medicine for any injuries.

### Skills

* **Master Combatant**: BRIENNE-218 is an extremely skilled combatant, whether armed or unarmed. She is easily capable of defeating armies with her trusty sword and shield. But of course, she is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat. However, her skills are mostly into swordsmanship and brawling, making her a tough and strong fighter in the battlefield.

* **Master Swordsman**: She is widely regarded as the finest swordsman, which is rare for female fighters to achieve a level of skill. Brienne is notably respected throughout Mount Chronos and even Valenthia for her swordsmanship, even Fiona or FIONA-384 is impressed. She managed to easily defeat VATROX with her sword and shield despite the latter's range advantage in a fight, a testament to her proficiency.

* **Master Tactician**: BRIENNE-218 provides tactical support to the G/NEX. She is always accompanying members in the field when they need help or to protect their valuable marksman fighters, such as ASHE-159.
