Description
Someone asked to see what Orchid Mantis' augments looked like, and I thought that was a fun challenge to try to flesh out her character a little more. So here's the final result:

Cassandra Rey, aka Orchid Mantis has undergone several augmentation procedures to increase her strength and stamina on the battlefield. The first few of these procedures were to repair injuries from firefights and other conflicts, but soon after she had several elective operations to upgrade herself.

Starting from the base, she’s had several of her bones strengthened or outright replaced with a much stronger, lighter material. This provides a stronger frame for her augmented muscles to work with. It also helps to offset the added weight of her much denser muscles. Her natural weight would be somewhere around 130 lbs, but all her upgrades bring her up to about 160. Both arms and legs are now mostly new. Her spine has also had structural implants to allow her to support incredible weight.

She has had extensive muscle augmentation as well. Muscles in her shoulders, arms, legs and back have been completely replaced with synthetics. They provide nearly double the strength of natural human muscle, but are somewhat heavier. Most of her remaining muscles have small implants that slowly transform the muscle over time into a synthetic-like material through nano-conversion tech.

In addition to all of this, her signature Mantis Blades are built into her forearms and not a part of her suit. It allows her to have a weapon at all times, and keeps the suit sleek.
