Bio: Rida is an officer of the lowest rank working for the Military Police. However, this is merely in order to let her do her work officially, and in reality she’s considered to not have a rank at all, and instead is a former powerful criminal who must act under the eye of the Military police as a part of a deal to pardon her crimes in the past, which include working under several criminal groups, last of which for a powerful mafia as a hitman sent after valuable targets.
Nowadays her work remains essentially the same, as by the suggestion of a new ambitious general in the military at the time of her arrest, where she would work under his watch, hunting down dangerous criminals, and allowing the government to study the entity that possessed her in her youth during a time she almost died, granting her power.

Personality: Due to the strict requirements of her employer to remain a proper example of the Military, Rida acts properly and with an air of superiority befitting an officer. However underneath the facade expected of her, Rida is a wild, loose cannon with violent tendencies, is easily excitable, and just wants to break loose. She only lets this side of herself show during intense chases and fights, and otherwise resorts to snark and keeping up a threatening atmosphere to herself with her crazy smile and intense eyes, acting “normal” but knowing full well her size and tone scare people, if she doesn’t like them.

Rida also isn’t overly smart intelligence or knowledge -wise. She has some rare “wisdom in crazy”, is observant of her surroundings and has a good instinct (Though lot of the time just isn’t smart enough to put together what is it about something that seems off, for example) and is good enough with dealing with people, as her survival has depended on serving groups of people and remaining at good odds with them.

She knows she’s effectively still a prisoner, and has gone through her life always acting as the “dog on a leash” of whoever’s in charge (Which is also the source of her nickname), but she’s embraced this, as she doesn’t really care about much else than being content, a place to stay, food to eat, and having fun.

Despite her role as a servant and a prisoner, she still holds a sense of superiority, and a desire to not be looked down upon, wanting to be better than others despite the conflict in her role, which shows in her choices in how and who she fights.

Tendency to cope with humor, and refuses to be serious even in most situations calling for it, and loves cracking jokes while fighting, often at the expense of her opponents.

Loves chasing and pursuing her targets, which is part of what caused her to become possessed by the strange smoke in her youth.

She’s also a bit of a bully due to having to had grown up like one to survive, and loves when her opponents struggle. However she doesn’t get any enjoyment in tormenting the weak and innocent, and rather loves a challenge, and bringing down stronger people to the point of breaking their spirit.

Prefers not to kill, but is capable of it if she deems it required

Skills/Abilities/Fighting style: Rida does not fight fair, and treats a fight less like an honorable duel, and more like a battle of survival. Anything she can do to gain an advantage when the situation calls for it, she’ll go for. This includes her weapons she normally dislikes using, but they’re last on the priority list for her, as she prefers focusing on tactics she’s used to from when she was still fighting on her own in her youth.

Has a good sense for direct fighting, and while not otherwise smart, in battle she can easily adapt to her opponents, read their moves, and come up with wild and unexpected ways of fighting back, and is the only time she tends to show any proper strategy and thought (even if not intentional, figuring stuff out by gut feeling and instinct)

Tendency to keep her hands behind her back unless getting serious in a fight, or required for occasional attack with her arms. This has few reasons behind it for Rida:
- Keeping up an official look fit for military personnel
- Additional show of superiority over her opponents
- Prevents her opponents from noticing her gloves and arm movements to control the smoke
- Save me from drawing hands
- Keeps her gloves protected from harm

Rida focuses most on utilizing her smoke in order to detain her opponents, and keep track of them and chase them down.
Her main attacks come in the form of using the surroundings and smoke, to either throw objects at her opponents, or shove her opponents into disadvantageous positions or into harmful areas, then attempt to restrain them.

She’s also skilled with direct physical combat, and prefers to kick, punch or grapple her opponents.

Can use her sword as a last resort, and is skilled with it, but isn’t an expert and the main utility for her is additional melee range and being able to cut things if required.
Her gun is more powerful than the usual handgun due to being built bigger as a custom design for her to easily wield. It can fire 12 shots before needing to reload, and has a silencer attached, making the shots less noticeable, though not silent.
She has a decent aim, but not the best, so her preferred use is getting close enough to guarantee a shot, or use random shots as suppressive fire, or as an attempt to just get a lucky shot.

“Capture Gas”
Rida is possessed by a strange, thick, black smoke she utilizes for combat and tasks. The government claims it is an experimental weapon by the name of “capture gas” designed for capturing criminals, but in reality it is a seemingly living thing that possessed Rida in her youth. The true nature of it is a mystery, though it seems Rida does have some knowledge of what it is.

Rida has complete control over this smoke thanks to the specifically made gloves created by the government after doing research on the smoke and its properties. However, as a drawback of this, the true power of the smoke is reduced noticeably.

She’s able to manifest the smoke freely within a certain radius of her (Around 2 meters / 7 feet), and then manipulate freely to send it even longer distances, most commonly in order to pursue her targets running from her. There doesn’t appear to be a specific limit to this, but without knowing where her target is, the smoke by itself cannot really do much by itself.

The smoke can be used to restrain Rida’s targets, by covering them and making it difficult to move, as if the air itself was thicker. Weaker people can potentially be completely restrained by just the smoke, while against stronger opponents it mainly acts as a distraction. She’s also able to move the smoke rapidly in order to push and pull things akin to a strong wind. The smoke also works as a smokescreen, and can be used to make it harder to breathe.
However, the smoke does not support weight, and Rida cannot for example use it to hang from a ledge, or lift someone up pulling it like a rope.

Lastly, the smoke grants Rida two additional ways to sense things. Firstly, anything the smoke hits or is touching, Rida can feel as a sort of vague “3D map” of the object or the area, though the more smoke she’s summoned, the harder it becomes for her to keep track of all the shapes, so she prefers to focus on anything moving in such cases. Also regardless of how much smoke is manifested, the shapes she can “see” through this ability are very rough, and she cannot make out any specific details.
Secondly, the smoke can detect anyone’s will to either “pursue” or “escape”. This isn’t limited to physically doing so (Though it is the strongest and easiest to sense), but can also trigger on someone with a feeling of wanting to escape/pursue, or things such as working on reaching a certain goal, or running from their duties, for example. Anything close to the smoke that is “pursuing” or “escaping” something is able to be sensed by Rida, and it’s also always active near her even if she doesn’t have any smoke manifested.

Random facts / TL;DR about the smoke
- Able to manifest freely within range of her, and then controlled well beyond that (There aren’t any real limits, though the further away the smoke is, the more likely it is that something cuts it off form Rida’s range, such as winds or doors, etc.
- Any smoke must be connected to Rida’s 2 meter range through other smoke, or else it dissipates almost instantly
- Can be formless smoke, or shaped into anything with limited accuracy (Also Rida is not especially artistic)
- Rida likes to use this for scare tactics sometimes, choosing to form grasping arms or maws of hounds when chasing people
- Makes the air “thicker” and can be used to push or hold people and objects
- Very thick, and can easily block sight with even relatively thin layer of itself
- Cannot support weight, so cannot be used to carry anything, or for actions like climbing, though can be used to slightly slow down falling / soften a landing
- Due to the special nature of the gas, its able to interact with normally intangible things such as some ghosts
- Rida is able to sense what the smoke touches, and the smoke grants her the ability to sense anyone “pursuing” or “escaping” near it or herself, whether in the form of act or just the intent
- Susceptible to strong winds and similar effects
- Cannot enter liquids, and dissipates in a vacuum
- Can pass through any small hole that the air itself can fit through
- Rida’s gloves weaken the smoke, but allow for her complete control over it
- Doesn’t smell like smoke from a fire, and in fact basically smells like nothing at all
- The presence of the smoke, and especially extended contact with the smoke can cause some minor instinctual feelings of wanting to chase or escape, depending on the target’s personality. Though this effect is relatively minor.
- Some people that can sense energies, read minds or similar effects that use such abilities on the smoke itself are able to sense the feelings of chasing / escaping, or feel like the smoke is some form of prey or predator.
