C.C

**C.C**, also known as Carmella Clarke, is an android from Raiken, originally built to be a super-weapon.

## Background

Project CC was started by Thomas Clarke, an expert engineer on Raiken. The project was to create a Cybernetic Crusader, a sort of one man army, and received substantial amounts of government funding. While early stages of the project proved fruitful in terms of producing a chassis, compact weaponry, and targeting systems, this was largely a secondary interest to Thomas. He would make the military their weapon, in order to continue to get their money, but he was looking to make a technological breakthrough of another nature.

Before the project, Thomas had been working on technology needed to scan and upload human minds, but largely wasn't making headway. There was simply too much data within a human mind to be able to digitally store it. Still, he took regular snapshots of the minds of each of the members of his family, himself, his husband, and their daughter. But when tragedy struck, and a car accident left Thomas a widower and a vilomah, these snapshots extended a lifeline that he otherwise never would've had.

Project CC's true goal, in Thomas' eyes, was to try and give a physical body to the digital minds he had. While the snapshot data wouldn't be enough to recreate a mind, they would be enough to act as training data, a twisted sort of autocomplete. He knew that this project wouldn't be able to bring him back his husband or daughter, but he hoped that it would give him a new daughter to care for. And in 68 PM, he succeeded, installing the Clarity Core into the chassis, and watching Carmella open her eyes for the first time.

Officially, when no one else was in the room, Thomas still had to refer to Carmella as Project CC or simply C.C. In private, however, he gave her a human name, and treated her like a daughter. Of course, there still was a looming problem: C.C was technically government property, and slated to be used in warfare once she was ready. There was also only so long that Thomas would be able to stall, since he had formal deadlines and deliverables. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to keep his daughter out of combat, Thomas instead resolved to make her the closest thing to unkillable and unstoppable that he could.

Although childhood wasn't easy, it wasn't awful by any means for C.C. That is, until magic returned to Raiken, and unleashed dark and long forgotten forces back into this world. Project CC wasn't scuttled by a Kaiju or anything flashy. Instead, one day, a man who looked exactly like Thomas walked into the labs, killed all the other scientists, disabled C.C, and stole untold amounts of government secrets. The real Thomas was later arrested by the government, and sentenced to twenty consecutive life sentences, leaving C.C to be repossessed by the military.

### Sparking

C.C was rarely used during her time as a military asset, spending most of her life powered down. When she was used, it was for circumstances where they couldn't deploy multiple troops, or situations dangerous enough they didn't want to risk human lives. She was never tasked with infiltration, due to that being acutely not in her wheelhouse, but in the months that followed her father's arrest, C.C had started to build up a resume that would cause most wetwork operatives to raise an eyebrow.

However, one day while she was on a mission, C.C received a hurried communication on one of her private channels. Thomas called, using a backdoor he had installed in her, and told her that he was innocent, and that whatever had impersonated him was going to only grow stronger. He begged her to go somewhere, anywhere else, and stay safe and outside of military control. And this direct order, from her father, worked. C.C stopped the mission, turned off all the tracking devices in her, and began to run. As she ran, her franticness and anxieties grew until her spark ignited, and she found herself on Akieva. Now, she's trying to understand the nature of her spark, and if there is anything she can do to save her father.

## Capabilities

C.C has no ability to use magic, unlike most planeswalkers. On the other hand, she does have ludicrous, state-of-the-art tools and technologies built into her to address almost any situation. C.C has abnormally excellent senses, including several that regular humans don't (infrared, electroreception, etc), and passively records everything she observes. At a moment's notice, she can comb back through her memories to find exact details of things she only saw briefly years and years ago. C.C is constantly analyzing the data she pulls in, and attaches it to various people, adding notes to them in live action in a style akin to a HUD.

C.C has a wide variety of weapons built into her, with the intent being that she can act as any given role in an army, and often multiple at once. Artillery, anti artillery, long range, close range, the works. Additionally, she has access to some potent defensive tools: deployable energy fields, kinetic dissipating skin, and more.
