Description ***Update*** 4/25/12: Photoshop is amazing...once again, I felt that the original posted version of this pic was bland with the lack of a good background and her flatly shaded/highlighted hair. I changed Raina's hair to my most recent style of highlighting, changed her lip color...I realize that most of my characters don't wear make up and she could use a little bit of dash to make her pop...and I added the building and moon via brushes that I found here on DA! There are some actual issues with Raina's features such as her nose and her head seems a tad bit too big, but it looks much better than what it used to be.
-The Management

=================================
"I've been on the beat here in Angel Falls for almost two years now, and I must say...being a cop is a lot more involved than what I originally thought, well in this city at least! When I first got the news from my employers back at B.E.C.A. HQ that I was being sent here to be a mere cop I was a bit insulted and thought that I was being punished or something. All I could think of was why would they send me, who has lead many solo missions against literal armies of formidable threats to a position to where I would be writing speeding tickets and responding to domestic dispute calls?!!? No offense to the officers that are in charge of doing those things, but I couldn't wrap my mind around being what I thought was demoted to a normal cop. Boy, was I wrong! All they told me that I wouldn't be just some doughnut eating flatfoot and that I was going to lead the Special Crimes Unit...their words did my actual job description no justice!

They were right...I'm no ordinary cop. Okay, me being a cyborg amazon kinda takes ordinary out of the equation with almost anything that I'm involved in, but still. I didn't stop to think that I would be in my element here in Angel Falls with the heavy amount of metahumans, aliens, cyborgs, robots, demons, and other supernatural beings inhabiting this city. When I first got here the SCU was a complete mess...all of the weapons and armor weren't at all up to snuff to deal with a deranged kindergartner with a pair of safety scissors in his hands. The few officers that were a part of the SCU were scared shitless from basically being repeatedly sent out to get their asses kicked by metahuman criminals and villains that they were no match for. It was either that or they had just grown lazy as hell from always having one of the big named superheroines come and save the day. The SCU was seen as a joke, and in turn, it reflected negatively on the whole AFPD making the non-metahuman crime rate soar. Sure, there are quite a few Superheroines and heroes in this city, but they can't be everywhere nor can they respond to every single crime that occurs; that was the initial point of creating the Special Crimes Unit, however that plan wasn't at all working.

That's when the Angel Falls City Council had commissioned B.E.C.A. to provide the weapons and technology to the AFPD: SCU to give them a fighting chance against metahuman criminals, villains, and threats of a supernatural nature. They were also looking for someone to head the SCU who had much combat experience with dealing with said threats...I feel like as soon as I walked through the door on my first day back from an extended sabbatical from my duties as an agent for B.E.C.A. that the powers that be chose me to be the one because it was convenient. It seemed like I was the lucky girl that was stuck with the Angel Falls gig that no one else wanted and being that I had been off duty for a few years, that I'd get sent to the big city to play cops and robbers after getting some serious upgrades and a shit ton of weapons, armor, and vehicles to take with me.

In hindsight...I see that I wasn't just chosen because I was at the wrong place at the wrong time just to fill a gap. This place needed a warrior...someone that knows what they're doing in the face of extreme danger to make sure that the duties of being a SCU officer are being upheld. This job is much more involved than I originally thought; I had to bring some of my old buddies and comrades-in-arms from B.E.C.A along with me such as Simone Rattica, Deuce, and Techna to help me set the foundation and the standard of what it is to be a Special Crimes Unit officer. We retrained all of the other SCU officers; got rid of all of the weak links; replaced the inferior weapons, armor, and out of date technology; made a few changes in the rules; and really stirred up the pot. In just a few short months I was able to turn the SCU around from being the L.A. Clippers of our police force to being a group that garners respect from our fellow officers and citizens as well as make meta-criminals and villains think twice about committing crime. We have also been able to lighten up the work load for the superheroines and heroes out there, thus lowering the crime rate...it's been the lowest here than it's ever been since I've taken the reins of the SCU as First Lieutenant; I guess the folks back at B.E.C.A. knew what they were doing when they chose me. By no means has it been a complete cakewalk, but the SCU is now finally serving the purpose of what it was originally meant to do under my command.

I don't say all of this to boast or brag, but this job of mine is truly amazing. I don't feel like a cop at all...I'm no different than any of the superheroes flying around here saving the day. I guess you could say that I'm a Supercop, as I'm just as fast and strong as some of the most powerful heroes and villains. It just so happens that I'm employed in part by the city in tandem with B.E.C.A. Oh yeah...there is the paperwork too, but thanks to everything being all digital now and having a high speed computer processor implanted in my brain, it's a breeze. And man...I love the challenge and the action that being the head of the SCU entails! I've got a team of my closest friends that I trust and that trust me; we're like family. This is as close as it gets to a dream job for me...and the pay's not too shabby either! The benefits and perks that I receive are pretty sweet too!

I have sworn to serve and protect this city, it's citizens, my fellow officers, and fellow defenders of justice with every fiber of my being. I will perform my duties to the best of my capabilities and give no less than 125% to keeping the streets of Angel Falls safe from criminal activity and evil threats. Criminals and Villains beware...if you're out of line and you break the law on my watch, I'm gonna get you!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the colors to It's one of my oldest OCs in the form of the cyborg police woman extraordinaire...1st. Lt. Raina Hunter of the Angel Falls Police Dept. as she's looking like she's all business right here! Once again, yes...you may recognize the pose from the cover of Underworld: Evolution and the title Supercop comes from an old Jackie Chan movie from the 90's. I just really wanted Raina looking fierce with her guns and all.

As for the color job, it's okay. Something seems off about it...can't put my finger on it though. I've been straying away from using backgrounds as of late, and maybe that's why it feels a little flat to me. And I may have gone a little overboard with the shiny highlights on her suit of armor. Her face kinda looks a bit big as well. Otherwise, I'm pleased for the most part.

You heard the lady...meta-criminals and villains better think twice when Lt. Hunter is on the prowl through the streets of !

I've got some other things on the burner as of right now...I need to finish off the Epilogue to Serve and Protect, which I might actually be able to squeeze some of that in with Jetta's and Poly's heavy interaction. And then I want to start up my major storyline of the year in the way of Diamond and others vs. Sataria the Cyborg Queen and her Collective.
