Emma Liu

Name: Emma Liu

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Role: Mobile Suit Pilot
Faction: Legion of Arcadia

Special Role: Cyber-Newtype

Special Role-Details(optional): Entirely reconditioned mentally after her first bout of cyber-newtype enhancement surgeries, she has no prior memories of her life before now.

Physique: Being of a dusty brown skin tone and possessing icy blue eyes that could be mistakenly said to glow at times, Emma tends to catch attention in a crowd, also partly in thanks to her abnormal standing height of 6’. Lightly toned and still possessing a well-developed figure despite her relatively sedentary habits, Emma tends to take a lackadaisical approach to maintain her physique. However, she is no slouch and is exceptionally durable and capable of holding her own in a fistfight, and can easily throw her full weight of 150 pounds behind her kicks and punches.

Character Equipment (Optional):

Primary Weapon: PP-19 Bizon. Kept in fair condition despite being a relic, Emma seems to cherish this weapon more than some of her other possessions. Typically kept close by, no matter where she goes. In terms of attachments, the grip has been changed out with one that better matches her grip-angle.

Secondary Weapon: An ancient Howdah Pistol. 4-barrels rechambered in .454 Casul; this is more of a family heirloom that possesses an even closer position to Emma’s heart than the Bizon. It bears her coat of arms on both sides of the ivory grip and is supposedly the only item she was allowed to retain possession of after her reconditioning. She has only ever fired it once.

Knife: Unsurprisingly, she carries a relatively dull knife. The basic issue, nothing outstanding about it. It can be used for a variety of things in a pinch.

Equipment: Normal Suit, 3 days of rations/water, medpack, 2 reloads total for her Bizon, 8 rounds of .454 Casul, and a datapad, one emergency dose of medication for extended operations.

Personality: Distant to most, exceptionally friendly to the ones who assist her in stabilizing her condition. Otherwise, she will offer basic kindness to those she fights with, with her mood on a constant fulcrum of either full-on tunnel vision anger to one individual to cooking meals for nearly anyone. In terms of interactions with her superiors, she is even more amicable and subservient. However, she can have her moments of insubordination, rare as they may be.

Likes: Energy drinks, cooking, reading through technical books, picture-taking.

Dislikes: Not being alone in the dark, brightly lit rooms, chatterboxes, nosy people, being lied to.

Notable Skills: With an innate skill for cooking, Emma finds that she wins the attention and affection of most through her dishes. Specializing in Indian and Asian cuisine, she can be found cooking in her downtime, if not busy with a book or at the range. In terms of combat, Emma is well-trained in hand-to-hand combat, possessing what would be the current equivalent of a brown belt in jiu-jitsu.

Life Goal:

Short-term Life Goal: Exceed her senior officer’s expectations while assisting Legion forces in their tasks.

Long-term Life Goal: Retire and open a restaurant and live a well-earned life; if it is not possible, leave behind a legend so grand none will forget her name.

History: Having been born into a relatively low-income family, Emma would prove to be the last child out of twelve, but one of only six to survive into her teens. Stealing to help make ends meet and going to school when her parents could afford to do so, and just being forced to endure off of her wits, Emma was forced to come to terms with reality one day when she came home to find her mother and father talking with a few suited individuals.

Emma had seemingly made the wrong people angry through her petty theft, and they complained to the local government, which managed to catch the eye of the colony duchess. Being as corrupt as she was and falling short in fielding newtypes, she set forth a plan that would eventually ensnare more than just Emma. It was partly the reason for many of her siblings going missing and her parent’s detention. But she would never truly find that out. At least not for as long as she remained in service.

Her single remaining brother was here as well, dressed in some sort of weird suit, one that looked more akin to the space-walking folks than the suit-and-tie fellows angrily talking with her parents. She tried to call him from where two local officers held her, but he didn’t answer.

She lost her parents and her last sibling that day. They were hauled off and taken away before her eyes. They gave no reason, no comfort to be had. Her siblings were gone as well, leaving her alone for the first time in her life. And she was terrified. Finding some comfort in her reading, she remained in the empty house for the night, waiting to see if anyone from her family came home. Sadly, Emma spent her 18th birthday alone that night.

Falling asleep was hard, but she eventually did it and awoke to a nightmare. She was trapped within a room of pure white. She was going blind. She screamed, but her voice didn’t come out. Then a door opened to the left. She tried to bring herself up to look, but something cold and hard pressed against her neck when she did so. The same went for her wrists and ankles. She was restrained like some kind of animal. A being entirely clad in some sort of clean suit loomed over her.

The figure exchanged only three words before Emma went unconscious; “I’m so sorry.” That day, Emma Liu, formerly known as Indira Chetti, was born.

After the surgery and her memory wipe, Emma was quickly given a series of false memories. She’s still properly sorting through them all to this very day. Her training went surprisingly well, both in piloting and basic training. Excelling in Jiu-Jitsu, she proved herself to be an immensely agile close-quarters combatant. She also seemingly retained some trim level of her prior cooking skills, which she continues to develop in her free time.

Family: Unknown Biological Father, Unknown Biological Mother, one living sibling.
