## Biography

### Creation

On April 12th, 2031, Bell was created in the As-Salam Laboratory under inhumane circumstances condoned by the laboratory classified as an As-Salam Experiment. She was created to fit the title of *God's Greatest Warrior (الله أكبر محارب),* within the borders of  Morocco and on an international scale, by genetically modifying human fetuses that had been created in test tubes to give them traits capable of operating beyond normal human limits for occupations such as sports, arduous work roles, and in this case, the military in an effort to boost Morocco's pride and popularity as it had been rapidly declining since 2024, to which the laboratory was shut down in 2049 due to human rights conditions by the King of Morocco, as he had stated the actions performed by the laboratory were, "revoltingly disgusting and gut-wrenching". It is argued that Bell is extremely fortunate, as she was listed as the fourth retry in making a perfect soldier, as the other three were terminated due to complications with abnormal behavior that had been listed as potentially destructive, impossible physical defects, higher risk of disorders, such as Ectodermal Dysplasia, etc., hence the Arabic denotation, *“رقم اربعة”* (Number Four) birthmark on her back. The modifications of As-Salam, "Super soldier" patients include a lack of body hair from the neck down, ability to exert physical force slightly stronger than that of a regular human being regardless of gender, reduced receptions of specific emotions, increased capability to retain information, abnormal mitigation of impaired tendons, muscles, bones, organs, etc., prolonged life span (as physical aging within As-Salam patients progress lower than normal human aging) etc. Despite these modifications to further help becoming a viable asset as a soldier, defects are still present within a As-Salam patient's DNA, including but not limited to completely pure white and/or black hair that is distributed in unusual sections, unintentional birthmarks that always seem to have straight angles that can range where ever on the patient's body, pure white skin that is similar, yet does not fall under symptoms of Albinism, hair growing in unusual patterns, impossible hair colors such as pure white, black, etc.

### Personality

Bell's personality is described as serene, down-to-earth, and composed despite the severity of a situation that might seem extremely intense due to her upbringing and genetic modification to repress when she was created in the As-Salam Laboratory, yet despite being designed to repress certain emotions, she still holds a deep connection with her teammates (most notably her unit whilst in the Orion, then eventually the Axium), though unable to express these emotions as she is unfamiliar with knowing how to perform actions such as simply verbalizing how she feels, as well as a slight inability to have curiosity in different aspects in life other than her militaristic life style due to As-Salam Experiments (which is relieved when the Axium era is presented)—keeping to herself effectively without any repercussions whatsoever. In spite of these descriptions, from time to time, she slightly mellows out, showing gratitude by doing good for others not by order, but by volition, showing kindness and generosity.

## Young Age

### Adolescence

At a young age, being taken care of within the confines of the laboratory, she was scheduled to become an exceptional proficient at the following martial arts, including but not limited to a wide variety of multiple Filipino Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and other skills that do not include martial arts such as marksmanship, ballistics analysis, the study of firearms knowledge and safety and ammunition, forensics, and many more. She has been ranked a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu by 5th Dan Black Belt Professor based on both heavily on a time-based system over skill, **[REDACTED]**, gaining 18 years of experience in multiple Filipino Martial Arts that primarily focus on armed and unarmed combat taught from many other different instructors, as well as 18 years of Muay Thai experience, Gunsmithing, Firearms Instruction, both Close-Quarters Combat and Long-Range Combat with a multitude of firearms, and many more until Bell had reached the age of 18, to which scientists and staff were to eject her from As-Salam experiments and the laboratory to enlist in the  International Defense Alliance to continue the experiment further. Her peers and teachers since the shut down of the As-Salam Laboratory are to be concluded where they are currently located, though documents show that near all employees and staff of the As-Salam Experiments have been either sentenced to an undisclosed amount of time in confinement or death, have been permanently restricted from entering the country, etc.

Overtime within the laboratory, she would receive ceremonial tattoos in honor of her achievements in her studies, with the tattoos being displayed on body as thick, black rectangular stripes, as she would receive only five from the right side of her neck down to her right shoulder, similar of the stripe system in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Although the majority of Muslims in Morocco look down upon tattoos, Bell was created with the intent of her not having any religious occupation, discarding the condemnation of her receiving them.

### International Defense Alliance Enlistment

At the age of 18, she enlisted to join the International Defense Force inside the country of  Korea (People's Republic of,) as a Moroccan, under the Moroccan Division in the International Defense Alliance, as she was directed to fight in the Delta Unit in the 2nd Guardian Regiment Division. Due to the fact that she was not an enlisted soldier prior into enlisting into the International Defense Alliance, she was required to complete the I.D.A.'s Basic Combat Training curriculum that lasted a total of three months. During her basic training in the International Defense Alliance, she performed above average compared to the majority of her Regiment Division, for example, the Marksman Aptitude Exam, to which she was awarded an Expert Marksman, hitting 40 out of 40 targets amid her training in the International Defense Alliance. On account of achieving above excellence during the I.D.A.'s Basic Combat Training, she is granted benefits to work in different fields in the International Defense Alliance's and it's counterparts, that being it's de facto branches.

### I.D.A. Basic Training Graduation

Upon graduation, she immediately applied to participate in the I.D.A.'s 6-month Master's Combat Training curriculum. The International Defense Alliance's MCT course gives partial clearance to more confidential and perilous assignments that is usually appointed to the International Defense Alliance's three separate de facto branches. Usually, soldiers who perform near average are required to take the I.D.A's Advanced Combat Training curriculum to advance to the I.D.A's Master's Combat Training, though soldiers who perform above average during Basic Training are allowed to opt immediately to Master's Training, skipping Advanced Training as an option, to which Bell had skipped the Advanced class, progressing to her Master's class, and like her performance in her Basic Training with the 2nd Guardian Regiment Division, she performed just as the same, granting her to optionally work for the I.D.A's three separate branches, which are the Orion, Atlas and Systema, for if she were to work for one of the three branches given, she was required to complete at least one assignment that falls under deployment overseas. The operation she had carried out as a Master Sergeant was the  2049 Kuwaiti Al-Faw Conflict that lasted 2 months long within the Delta Unit of the 2nd Guardian Regiment Division, in which her and her unit successfully recaptured an uncontrolled region of Kuwait from terrorist forces most notably from the Al-Ta'awon extremist group, to which it would quickly dissolve when the Delta Unit would recapture the region Kuwait had lost.

## Contract with the Orion

After Bell's deployment in Al-Faw, Kuwait, she applied to contract and fight for the Orion, partially parting ways with the International Defense Alliance (partially as in the Orion is apart of the International Defense Alliance). Upon joining the company, Bell met Station Chief Michelle Anderson and  General Harold Stockholm. After reviewing her professionalism, leadership and preparation prior to becoming an operator of the International Defense Alliance and during her operation in Kuwait,  Station Chief Michelle Anderson and General Harold Stockholm mutually agreed for her to become appointed as a Captain of a unit. Despite Bell only being 18 years of age, the two believed that Bell could be a vital asset to the Orion as it was still a very small company contrived of hand-picked elite operators that stand out in the International Defense Alliance given her experience outside and inside of the International Defense Alliance through her self-document report. Though the unit was not created yet, Station Chief Michelle Anderson tasked Bell to at least find two operators suited enough to complete multiple operations, deployments, and other miscellaneous assignments that could hypothetically last about 15 years.

After extensive research, Bell had concluded her search for enough operators to forge her unit in the Orion. Michelle offered to take her to a coffee shop for debrief, to Bell had retrieved several folders in which Michelle picked two that Bell should work with, that being  Tariq Al Rumaithi under the Emirati Division, and  Angel White under the Australian Division, with Michelle Anderson and Bell creating the Echo Task Force.

## Carocian-Brazilian Deployment (ORION-152)

On **[insert date here],** the Echo Unit consisting of Tariq Al Ramaithi, Angel White and Bell were tasked to deploy near the Praia Da Boca in Brazil to deter and dissolve the extremist Cuban group, "Carocia", who had covertly sieged the city due to complications in Cuba, and to capture it's leader alive, Xavier Suleiman. Station Chief Michelle Anderson stated prior to the start of the operation to capture Xavier Suleiman alive, and to do as such implicitly to not alert the public free world, as executing the leader of the Carocia would lead to unforeseen consequences, fueling the group's extremist values. The unit deployed in **[insert date here]** at **[insert time here]**, starting the operation.

## Missing in Action

After the Carocian-Brazilian Invasion, Bell ran away to find ties on her own volition after receiving the news about the Orion's collapse, rendering Bell missing by the International Defense Alliance. For 20 years, Bell has been on an ongoing pursuit to find Suleiman, who had been nearly captured yet has escaped repeatedly worldwide, having plagued multiple nations with Carocia, having international control within the following countries including but not limited to Ppopponesia, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, China, Chile, and other nations that the Carocia have sieged parts of.

## Author Commentary

I remember the day I created Bell by drawing her similar, yet completely different from what she looks like now (she sort of had super spiky and messy hair that was all over the place). I never really had an inspiration (at least one that I can think of) to really fuel *how* Bell functions and looks as a character, but there have been a lot of scrapped ideas for Bell that ranges from her background, looks, etc. though some of those attributes stayed, like the lines above and under her eyes (fun fact, those lines on her face were there from the beginning and had no correlation to her whatsoever until the recent remaking of her character). Looking back on the first iteration of her origin (that of it being a couple pages long), it really sucked for a lot of reasons—terrible, yet not bad. Though I didn't like the first iteration, I decided to try again, approaching the story a little bit differently with a little bit more substance so everything didn't have to feel like it happened within a blink of an eye, which the first iteration of her origin progressed *way* too fast—not giving the reader space or time to actually digest what had just happened in the story, because once you get familiar with the characters of her story, the story had already ended by then.

I started with Bell actually having an older sister named Amani, who was extremely protective and possessive of her little sister, Bell, who was constantly deploying overseas for months on end that are way more dangerous than regular assignments given to soldiers (still dangerous either way, but you get the idea). I thought about the story, and how Amani would play into the middle of the story, ending, the aftermath of Bell's Origin, to where I couldn't find a good idea to what I would do with Amani—she was more of a burden on me to actually come up with good ideas to write her into the story that I wanted to implement her into. I knew in the development of the story that I couldn't just have Amani appear only in the beginning and most likely never again, I had to emphasize that she still has emotions and feelings for her sister like a real human being, but trying to add that sort of substance by changing the view of the story that's centered around an extremist group invading a small town in Brazil that is powerful enough to where the Brazilian Government can't control or remove, on a completely different character away from that perspective just wasn't going to work, and because of that and other reasons, she was scrapped completely along with other things about Amani and Bell's actual background.

The art style of Axium and Bell actually derives from the stick figure community and pictures of Mil-Sim and Coalition operators world-wide (I thank them for their service). At first, I drew her as a stickman with hair and eyes (because at the time I was very lazy to put any effort into my drawings at that time) and didn't think much of her design afterwards, though until recently, I've given her an actual realistic body type to picture what I'd imagine she would look like as with her looks playing into her background as a character, to which I'm very pleased in how it turned out.
