Koda the Cat (COB)

## Appearance

Michelle has blond hair with hints of brown on it every now and then. Her eyes are brown and blue in color. She looks like she's in her very early twenties.

## History

Michelle was born and raised in a country that is decades, and arguably centuries ahead of its time. Which meant a lot of people who would want to exploit that technological advantage, making crime a big problem for the Weybrook islands. Michelle, who has always had some anger issues that tended to peak when crime happened, grew up wanting to be a police officer. She headed to the army for a while for free college money, and she eventually got the career she dreamed of.

Meanwhile, a successful enhancement serum has been made by a group of villains, and they make it in mass production, stealing a 18 wheeler to transport all of the goods. Michelle goes out of her way to chase down the truck, and the cop chase eventually leads to Michelle's car and the truck falling off the side of a hill. Michelle lays unconscious as the chemicals seep over her body, the rest of it draining in either the soil or the ocean (as this is on the Weybrook Islands).

She wakes up a while later in the hospital, who report her okay in surprise, and she continues her job. She eventually gets fired and arrested as the serum seemed to enhance her anger problems to the point where she accidentally killed a suspect, unaware of her enhanced strength. She's found guilty and sentenced into prison, which she eventually escapes from after learning more about her enhanced stats (as no one knew about her enhanced abilities and therefore sent her into a normal prison instead of one for metas).

Upon escaping, Koda trimmed her long fur, dyed it (for the time being), changed her outfit, and grabbed a bottle of water so that if she was stopped from jogging away from the prison, she could pretend that she was a jogger.

Having lost a life that she loved, but still want to pursue justice, Michelle decided that the best way to deal with crime was to destroy it from the inside.

However, Michelle never followed a "no killing" rule that most vigilantes would at least attempt to do. As such, her vigilantism has been labeled moreso as murder, robbery, and assassinations to the public eye in most cases, honestly getting most of her praise from the people she saved.... and that praise was enough of a motivation for her.

Often referred to by the public as Ravager, Scarlet, and many other names, the public settled on giving the chaotic vigilante the name Koda.

As the course of time went on, relying on constantly damaged helmets, bulletproof vests, etc, Koda was desperately seeking an upgrade in equipment. She eventually discovered a Weybrook factory which was in the middle of developing a synthetic material that was created to potentially create

## Personality

Michelle has two personalities on the flip of a switch. One is very cold and apathetic, being solely focused on her mission. The other is kind and very welcoming, and while honestly being aware she can defend herself, she'd moreso want to avoid the fight.

## Equipment

### Vortus-Xevion Blade

Named after Viribus Fortis, latin for "strong force", This experimental dark red and black blade is her signature melee weapon. The edges of the blade is made of vortus. This affects the strong force which holds molecules together, effectively making the sword slice through any conventional form of matter. The blade itself is also nigh indestructible due to enhancing its own strong force, able to block attacks from strong metas.

Xevion (pronounced sef-eye-on) is the center lining of the blade, and it generates an invisible aura of anti-energy, and as a result, nullifies most conventional energy based attacks. This heavy material makes the sword weigh about thirty pounds.

### Hyper-Kinetic Blaster Rifle

A rifle that fires ammunition that rapidly increases the kinetic energy of whatever matter it interacts with in microseconds, rapidly vaporizing the object on impact. It can easily pierce through 25 cm-thick steel tank armor

### Crimson Vortus Armor

To help avoid cutting herself from her Vortus Blade while it is activated, Koda's blade, the outer layer is made of Vortus as well. The strong force gives this armor enough durability to outlast being at the epicenters of grenades with little damage, easily handling the force of blows from much stronger metas.

Under that nearly impenetrable layer, the suit acts like an insulating supersponge, absorbing a ton of kinetic energy to soften the blow. The suit can easily handle the environment it is in, and Michelle has been in near all of them: volcanos, deep oceans, arctic climate, and extreme ends of the pH scales.

### Metal Skeleton

The molecules in Koda's bones were rearranged into a special thin and hollow nonmagnetic metal. This allows Koda to not only have enhanced durability, it enhances her strength to a hundredfold, which would make even the average Mobian/human effectively a 5 ton lifter.

This new skeleton is very slightly more susceptible to bending and absorbing damage, lowering Koda's chances of getting her bones broken when taking heavy damage, and allowing the bones to be able to resist the force generated from sniper rounds.

### Blast Box

Her variants of grenades, which are the shapes of thin rectangular discs, making them both lighter than water and smaller than conventional grenades. These thin rectangular shaped boxes have lethal, flashbang, and smoke screen variants, each one able to toggle a variation (a three-in-one grenade), and it can even combine flashbang and smoke screen.

#### *Lethal Explosive*

While the lethal stage of her blast boxes can normally be found at a charge roughly equivalent to several megajoules, The blast box material can harden its durability to the point that the grenade bursts as 0.5975 tons of TNT. This means Koda can level an entire building to the ground if she wanted to.

The explosive can be set to an alternate state, proximity, sensing the bio-electrical presence of nearby people to activate, or it can be force detonated if necessary. This is especially convenient for the fact that it can float on water.

#### *Clear Death Gas*

Breathing masks or not, you will need your own personal supply of oxygen if you want to survive this invisible smoke grenade. It temporarily adds an extra oxygen atom to O2, making it into ozone. Not only is this harmful to breathe in, there is now a lack of oxygen in the vicinity.

### Grappling Launcher

She has one, where it helps her quickly reach areas up to 500 feet away in less than half of a second, the serrated grapple hook reaching speeds of up to 650 mph. The tether itself can withstand the forces of a car attempting to drive away when caught by the weapon, and and has been proven to be heavily bullet and knife resilient. So this could not only be a means of transportation, but a lethal weapon.

## Strength

### Physical Might

Grenade Tier (her punches release far more energy than Roselyn swinging her escrimas, can swing her fists near the speed of sound. She can throw an assault rifle fast enough to crack the sound barrier)

### Equipment Might

Grenade TierBuilding Tier with grenade at maximum potential charge

## Speed

### Travel Speed

Highway Car Speeds (can keep up with Roselyn)Transonic with equipment like the grappling launcher

### Reaction Speed

Faster than Lightning (claims to be able to react at the microsecond, quick enough to notice lightning)

### Combat Speed

Transonic (fast enough to slice a pistol bullet in half from 10 feet away, should be roughly around 40% the speed of the bullet; constantly depicted as far faster than Roselyn, constantly fights at speeds far beyond the average eye)

## Toughness

### Physical Durability

Grenade Tier (can withstand a grenade explosion with minor damage, can withstand Jessie's hydrokinesis)

### Equipment Durability

Grenade Tier (casually survived her grenade at max charge from 10 meters away with only small dents from launched fragments. Roselyn can't reliably damage the suit with her escrimas)

### Regen

Critical Organs (can slowly recover from brain injuries)

### Resistances

Without Equipment* conventional bone manipulation, extreme heat and cold, electricity, genetics manipulation, biochemicals, earthly diseases and poisons, tranquilizers, extreme radiation. She further adapted to resist water abilities, ice abilities, metal abilities, magnetism abilities, gravity abilities.

 With Equipment

* strong force, matter manipulation on the subatomic level, extreme pH levels

### Enhanced Senses

#### Sight

Koda's vision is 20 times above the norm. She can locate people a mile away from her using sight alone.

#### Hearing

All people are capable of a limited form of echolocation, it's just that sight precedes hearing and we don't learn to develop it like blind people.

Koda didn't learn either, but the experiment amped up the sense so that she could not only gain echolocation, but have an amped version that heavily helps her out against stealth foes.

### Strength

"*Phlak isn't even tickled by frag grenades, and while close, your strength isn't even that.*" ~Dusk

Enhanced by her skeleton mainly, Michelle can casually punch through heavily armored bulletproof glass, kick down steel doors, chop trees with her hands, and even seriously injure people who are bulletproof. It is because of her strength that she feels no recoil from most weapons, despite their power, which is how she once used a sentry gun as a handheld weapon.

### Speed

After walking into a casino and questioning a mob leader, seven other people were ready to draw their guns out. Once incapacitating the mob leader via a hand chop to the neck, he dropped a casino token out of his hand. The others were unconscious or dead before the token even hit the ground.

On her own running power, she has chased and caught up to speeding cars.

Michelle finds that bullets from conventional firearms move "too slow" for her taste, and she has proven so by being able to react to and dodge gunfire from multiple directions, tango with the speedster Bullet (while he was in a weakened state, mind you), and prove to be able to react to lightning on some occasions.

### Durability and Resilience

While her armor is resistant against the elements, Michelle herself is **much more** resilient thanks the Tartigrade Experiment. She can last in weather of up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for a few minutes, handle -200 degrees Fahrenheit for several days, outlast lightning strikes, be unaffected by most genetic level diseases and biochemicals, survive in the vacuum of space and ocean trenches, waltz through a barrage of radiation at about 8,000 grays, and even last for long periods of time without food or water. Michelle has shown to be even able to resist things such as tear gas, tranquilizers, and even a milligram of botulinum toxin poured into her drink, despite already being in a bedridden state at the time.

### Intelligence

Michelle doesn't try to be the one of the smartest people on Mobius, but if she wanted to, she has that potential. Michelle's mind is able to process information at least dozen of times faster than the average Mobian, and she uses this to become an expert tactician and planner on the go, as well as make calculated responses in much less time.

She is responsible for the creations of the equipment she uses the moment she got her hands on the required materials. Her mind runs like a calculator, quickly coming to reasonable conclusions about her environment.

### Adaptive Healing Factor and Pain Tolerance

Michelle is no pushover. She can fight at full capacity even with her own sword lodged into her chest, and only be stunned for a few seconds after a surprise snipershot to the back of the head. The regeneration had actually pushed the bullet out of her head in the process, as her skeleton was too durable for the bullet to penetrate further.

The regeneration allows her body to rewrite itself from previous injuries in order to become more resilient to whatever caused the damage in the first place, even on a supernatural level.

Michelle jokingly states she has wasted four of her nine cat lives due to some absurd things she manages to recover from, though in reality Michelle pretty much has nigh eternal youth.

### Experience

Throughout her time as a member of the army, her career as a police officer, and her current life, Michelle has obtained excellence in stealth, marksmanship, and combat, knowing nearly a dozen forms of martial arts.

As Koda, Michelle has dealt with numerous varieties of metas, and can usually tell how someone works by the way they use their abilities.

## Flaws

Michelle's anger can properly be exploited to work against her motives.

Michelle's regeneration is potent but not impossible to surpass. While she can heal from even organ damage, she cannot regenerate the lost of large limbs, decapitation, and the likes, and she certainly does not heal from damage in the blink of an eye, usually having to recover out of battle.

## Trivia

She usually gets majority of her capital from stashes of enemies she defeats and contract kills, which is how she manages to gets her hands on military grade equipment.
