Character Information

Background

    "Oh, these?"

Nighttime in a Puyallup landfill. An endless wasteland of discarded junk stretched out as far as she could imagine from where she sat slumped against a scrap heap that dug into the tender skin of her back. Her muscles couldn't even find it in them to shiver against the brisk night air. She knew not who she was, nor where she was from. She recalled the smell of the Downtown smog and Athabaskan street food, the sound of teenagers bantering about where to go next over the deafening traffic and bustle of the city, the crunch of concrete and the splash of puddles that were more acid and microplastic than rain under cheap combat boots, the rumble of a motorcycle engine beneath her and the warmth of arms wrapped around her waist as wind whipped her hair and goggles. But who was that? That person in those shoes, living that life? She couldn't even remember her own name. What she did know was that metal scraping against her arms and legs shouldn't have felt like steel against steel. Something as simple as moving her eyes was a feat; she felt something warm drip from her nose and run down to her top lip as she did. She looked down at her body and learned one more thing; her limbs were not hers. Steel plates over artificial muscles, ligaments, and tendons coated in black paint scratched by the debris she rested on. Her weak heart kicked into overdrive at the visceral terror of losing one's body, being unwillingly replaced with metal joints and segments that her mind couldn't seem to connect to. But as she stared in what would be wide-eyed bewilderment were her eyelids not so heavy, she saw a simple acronym etched into the knuckles; E.V.E.

    "Hell if I know where I got 'em."

An operating table. Flashing lights. A mysterious face. Decoherence. Then, consciousness; a soft mattress, an IV in her arm, the beep of an HRM, a plate of steaming egg rolls, and a chromed-upTroll sitting at a workbench in a homemade laboratory. She saw the table she had momentarily stared at the ceiling from. A dull headache throbbed deep within her skull. Something sharp was poking at the skin on her head. "Guess I'm not as rusty as I thought," the Troll said. "I was beginning to think you wouldn't wake up." He said his name was ʔáylx, that he hadn't expected to find an Elvish razorgirl when he went dumpster-diving for a recalled Biogene product, but that in spite of his questionable profession, he had "taken an oath" and was going to follow it. She didn't know what a razorgirl was. He showed her the reason her head hurt; the surgical tools, the dud cranial bomb that had merely fizzled a bit and left a hole in her memory. She just wanted to know if she'd ever be able to move properly again. He told her about her prosthetics in great detail; custom enhanced Greyware, clearly made for combat. She instinctively pounced and engaged the spurs in her right arm when he tapped her leg casually with a metallic tink from his own cyberarm; she had no idea how those motions were in her body, for they were certainly not in her head. The Troll thought nothing of it; "If I were in your shoes, I'd be a bit on edge too." He showed her a few pictures he had taken of her damaged body for the purpose of analysis, emphasizing one of her ribcage; near her left axillary artery. A small tattoo marked the spot; a capital A in a broken circle, with the number "1819" filling the break. Neither of them knew what it meant. He surmised it was a logo. She surmised it was creepy, and that if she ever found who gave her that tattoo, she'd rip their head off.

    "Wish I could tell you. Really."

ʔáylx said the two had errands to run. "Think about it, Eve. You wake up with illegal chrome that isn’t yours, a literal hole in your memory, reflexes you don’t understand, and more questions than an average plazzy in Seattle will ever have in their life. So…"
"So what?" she asked. She had decided on that name despite not knowing what hers may have been before; there was no point in dwelling on it for the moment.
"So... you go shopping," he replied.
They perused the downtown shopping malls together first; she had no money, and borrowing a Troll's clothing wouldn't suffice when ʔáylx's arms were the size of her torso. Plus, she needed a commlink, and ʔáylx insisted that she get herself a respirator of some kind; in his diagnostic process, he had found her immune system to be severely damaged, assumedly by the heavy doses of immune suppressant drugs anyone with that much chrome would have to take. She loved athletic streetwear; she somehow knew she always had. ʔáylx seemed more than willing to foot the bill; said it was "the least he could do for someone in need." The next stop, he said, was not so simple; "Let me do the talking. We need to get your paperwork in order." It made sense; as far as the world knew, she didn't exist, nor did anything relating to the symbol tattooed on her side. Or, at least, so a supposed contact had said upon doing "research" at ʔáylx's behest. A few talks with a few mysterious figures later, she had a new name to tell the authorities; "Nikita Borislava." She had come up with it instinctually when the man ʔáylx had met with spoke Russian, and she understood and responded, much to everyone's surprise.

    "But those engravings were one of the first things I saw.

It only seemed natural for Eve to enter the business of Shadowrunning. ʔáylx had taken her to an "old friend" to test her skills. The man, whom the Troll simply called DoubleHelix, was much like her; an Elf with more chrome than flesh, only he was at least in his forties. Every weapon he presented her with, she could use as if she'd practiced for years. Her fists could crack bricks, the jacks in her legs allowed her to take drops that would geek a regular person, and above all, she was quiet; whoever had built her limbs knew she'd be a killer of some kind, and wanted her to be capable of doing it subtly. DoubleHelix presented her with a simple job; steam a few go-gangers for some parts that they'd stolen from him, get paid. He gave her an old Ares Predator III, a couple of mags, and sent her on her way. While it was nothing more than a grab, it quickly became a smash-and-grab when the victims saw her rooting through their supplies for the components DoubleHelix wanted. She didn't take too well to being called "keeb" by a human half her size who had the nerve to wave a cheap-looking trench knife in her face, even less so to when he left a gash over her orbital socket with the weapon's attached knuckle duster. That being said, she merely meant to knock him out when she swung back. Instead, her fist went in one end, and the kid's brain went out the other. She could barely yell "I DIDN'T MEAN TO-" before the others drew pistols and smudges. As soon as the first shot was fired, all Helix and ʔáylx heard on their end was Eve's voice, suddenly flat and cold, utter one word.`
"Engaging."
What followed was the sound of bullets sparking off of steel, followed by screams of agony, the rending of flesh, the shattering of bone; then, silence. then silence. It was only because she had the foresight to mute her commlink when she snapped out of her icy, murderous trance that neither of the men heard her sobbing as she tried to scrub the blood from her steel hands. When she returned, however, she didn't just bring the parts, but a banged-up Nodachi that DoubleHelix claimed was the "pride and joy" of one of the gangsters she had killed. ʔáylx helped her remove the encrusted blood from her prosthetics, and waited as she changed into different clothes.
"What am I?" she asked him.
ʔáylx didn't answer.
"Am I a monster?" she asked him.
"You're a clean slate," ʔáylx said. "That's up to you."

    "And what I do know, is that..."

``It's routine now. She gets out of the same bed she first woke up in surrounded by ʔáylx' lab equipment, pops supplements and whatever the Troll insists she eat, and waits for a call from DoubleHelix. If none come, she looks for jobs herself, helps ʔáylx around the house, or finds a place to train (usually DoubleHelix's home gym). She listens to every word of every Johnson she meets, and never lets any other Runners get too close. She doesn't try to ask for too much, but she doesn't lowball herself either.``

    "They've been the last thing a lot of people have seen since I woke up."

The second she feels her life to be threatened, she engages. It doesn't matter who she's working for, who's pointing the gun, or who's supposed to be on whose side. Her fists, spurs, and boots will be dripping when ends. And when it does, if she is alive to continue, she is left wondering once again who made her this way. Her nighttime bike rides are when she ponders this the most, and while part of her simply wishes to let her search go and live her new life, she longs for the feelings she remembers in her dreams, and the people who gave her them; the joy of being broke and able to party Downtown for the first time in months, rush of high speed on the freeway with no cares in the world, the warmth of another person. The people behind that logo, the people she assumes took her memory and gave her the qualities of a killer... she believes finding them her solution, and anything preventing that is her enemy.

    "Mark my words, anybody who gets in my way... if they remember me, it'll be from a hospital bed."

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

• Ambidextrous. Whoever gave Eve these instincts wanted her to be balanced.
• Catlike. Eve is a naturally quiet person, and her prosthetics being seemingly engineered to match this trait certainly help her to stay hidden during jobs that require it.
• Chaser. When Eve has engaged, she is rarely keen on letting a target escape; this aspect of her old self shows in her ability to outrun her quarry.
• Stunt Driver. It isn't just the feeling of tires on the road that give her a rush; it's the feeling of them off the ground, too.
• Will To Live. Die? And leave the world without finding out who she used to be? Hell no.

Negative

• Bad Rep. When Eve looks in the mirror, she often has trouble telling who she sees. Some, however, recognize a threat that she does not; whether it's just her attitude or actions that she can't recall, this hostility has made it occasionally difficult for Eve to avoid conflict in her new life.
• Social Stress. The way her mind- the way she knows it, anyway- was introduced to the world was a bit harrowing. As a result, she doesn't do well around people; when she's with a team, she makes it her job to stand behind whoever's doing the talking and look intimidating.
• Weak Immune System. ʔáylx theorized during Eve's initial medical examinations that she had received more immunosuppressant medication than her body could handle, and her immune system suffered permanent damage as a result.

Appearance

Clothing

Eve tends to dress in all-black athletic and/or tactical wear with warm highlights, which matches the dark paint job on her prosthetics. No matter what she wears, if she can't move in it, it's nixed; she finds restrictive clothing to be anxiety-inducing.
