Description
Oh, look. Here I go being an adult and making my own bad life choices again by entering another highlander OCT. WOO!

So, um, I was planning to go with a decidedly extremely different concept of a character for this OCT if I ever entered it but... things happened (like I got a new engineer on GW2... and I liked her a lot) and then this happened, whoops.

So... \oDo/ Tah-dahhh! New OC with her only purpose in existing as being horribly destroyed in battle because I'm mean and horrible.

Don't get too attached, lol.

I AM SORRY COMMISSIONERS BECAUSE THIS MEANS THAT I"M GOING TO TAKE LONGER THAN I PREDICTED FOR YOUR STUFF PLEASE DON'T HATE ME. I'LL TRY TO GET YOUR STUFF OUT, TOO. OTL;;;

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

Name: "Killswitch" Kiki (goes by either alias; nickname was given to her by a superior during her Elite training)

Species: Irken

Age: 20

Sex: Female

Height: 5' 7"

Weight: 165 lbs (on the heavier side due to her armor and 'Nade Kit)

Occupation: Invader [Successfully prepared a planet for invasion]; Engineer/Gadgeteer (was her preferred profession before being assigned to Invader)

---

Tool or Weapon:

(Grenades) 'Nade Kit

- Connected directly to her southeastern and southwestern ports of her PAK, she's able to control its function on a whim. It weighs around 15-20 pounds with full resources. It can be disconnected and manually operated with the button interface on the top right portion of the kit.

- The bottom right capsule's red glass 'button' of sorts displays current chemical readouts for each grenade type and will turn grey if the required chemicals are depleted for a specific type.

- There are two output ports for the kit on the ventral (back) side of each connective capsule. The one on the left capsule is the default port for all grenades to be deployed. The port on the right side is the auxilary port and is usually inoperable/closed and hidden unless needed. (Was illustrated as extended and functioning for future reference if the default port is ever damaged.)

- 'Nade Types:

+ Frag (accelerant-packed explosion with shrapnel sprinkles pieces) grenades are the most abundant with 20 stock.

+ Flash (concussion/moderate kinetic push with a bright flash and loud noise to daze and discombobulate foes for a short duration--used as distraction or interruption if used offensively versus defensively) grenades are the second most common with 10 stock.

+ Acid (filled with a highly corrosive substance that eats through many substances in the universe) grenades are third most common with 5 stock.

+ Cryo (a flash-freezing chemical that can cause frostbite if in contact with unprotected skin--can take a while to melt but is not solid enough to prevent breaking and subsequent freeing of affected enemies if enough force is applied to it) grenades are the second rarest with only 3 in stock.

+ Black Hole (made with a warping stasis technology that can explode on surfaces or in mid-air and can cause massive damage by sucking objects and creatures into its core to be hyper-compressed into almost nothingness--may yield a small 0.25-1 inch diameter glob of dark matter with insurmountable weight and mass if enough substance is sucked into the black hole from the time of its creation to when it ends [makes great rocket fuel!]) grenade limited to one (1) stock. This is essentially only used in dire situations where Kiki feels that she's sure to die. This is her "killswitch" 'nade.

----> Current stock: Frag x20, Flash x10, Acid x5, Cryo x3, Black Hole x1

- Each type of grenade functions a little red button function that allows them to be activated: 1 tap = 10 sec delayed timer, 2 taps = 3 sec delayed timer, 3 taps = explodes on contact with a surface.

- Each type of grenade has its own stupid little painted-on design for aesthetic purposes. (Blow up your enemies with style.)

PAK Legs

- She has the use of her PAK legs (x4) to help her get around. All other non-essential utility PAK functions (ie cables, soddering iron, organ extractor, etc.) are currently locked for the duration of the competition.

- They are almost strictly used for mobility only as they aren't made to be used as blunt or stabbing weapons.

Written physical description:

Very lithe and symmetrically-built, standing at 5' 7" and weighing 165 pounds fully-geared, Kiki has a medium-light body type well suited for both combat and semi-heavy work, she can lift around two and a half times her weight and isn't particularly fast due to her medium armor and grenade kit weighing her down.

She wears heavy-duty work goggles with black 100% tint lenses and silver frames fastened with a washed-out violet vertical strap emblazoned with the Irken insignia that runs over the middle of her head and connects with a black and violet horizontal strap, fastened with a metal maroon-and-silver clasp. She will continue to wear these until they're non-functional as she prefers to protect her eyes--her right eye is violet and her left is pink. The pink one is fake as she lost her real one in a training accident (pink and red was the only replacement eye color they had left at the time so she just picked one and called it good. It's only a stupid eye, anyways). Her skin is a light greyish-green, antennae are very simply curled.

Her washed-out, red shirt is made out of a tough, semi-metalic polymer that essentially acts as a flexible version of her metal gauntlets and boots; all of which can take a lot of abuse before failing its purpose to protect their owner. Her gauntlets are predominantly red and feature a single black circular stripe around their midsections and black-tipped silver metal phalanges and her boots are similarly-colored with a red base, black tips for her toes and heels, with purple knee guards, pauldrons, and straps that run over the tops of the heel and toe area.

Her pants and sleeves are solid black and are made of a somewhat more fragile polymer like her shirt and tear more easily. She wears a purple belt over her hips with a square frontal clasp and red button in the middle for quick-release of her two-layer decorative apron. Her apron is bi-colored with the bottom layer being somewhat lighter than the top--both are decorated with black trim but the top is the only one with an Irken insignia emblazoned on it. All of this metal and fabric are non-conductive but sensitive to heat in the way that they can effectively cook their owner if enough sustained heat is applied.

She also wears a blue and off-yellow striped scarf given to her by one of the inhabitants of the planet she was sent to invade and it is nearly always bundled around her neck. She absolutely will not allow that thing out of her sight. She carries her grenade kit around on her back--which is predominantly dark red and grey-purple with bright pink trim and buttons. All tubes are silver.

Personality: She is an Irken Elite. Marked most obviously with a militaristic outlook and mindset with no emotional involvement with petty things like friendship and love, she's often matter-of-fact and semi-annoyed with people even on her good days. She does not like extended conversations, nor does she care for extended close contact with people. She is a soldier and she's entirely focused on her job. An Invader needs no one and she sticks to it. ... mostly.

She's showing signs of malfunction on her subconscious that manifest as self-doubt and slight hesitation in her words and actions.

Brief History:

Kiki was born like every other Irken: in a mass-produced tube in a nursery under the surface of Irk. She attended the Academy, learned what she needed to learn, went on to train as an Elite, and then land her projected profession as an Invader. She was assigned her planet, went forward with her mission with gusto, and came out of it victorious to present a new one-purpose celestial body for her Tallests to use at their leisure. But it should be said that she was mostly successful.

Truth be told, when she was working on getting her assigned planet ready to be conquered, she blended in so well that she attracted the attention of a very lonely little social outcast that slowly grew to adore her, much to her dismay. Eventually, around the last couple of days she was on-planet, she received that blue and off-yellow striped scarf she constantly wears from that native and had a brief moment of conflict in her mind that made her ask herself, "Is this wrong? Am I wrong for doing this?".

Ever since then, she's never been able to get rid of the thing no matter how hard she tries to just dump it into the trash or incinerate it. The scarf is a symbol of her guilt and is a physical manifestation of her compromised resolve. She's very good at hiding it but she's now aware that she's starting to 'malfunction' and may be subject to deactivation if it gets any worse. Feelings makes soldiers soft--makes them a liability.

---

Strengths: Medium armor does a good job of protecting her from the elements and from attacks, her punches hit decently hard and her kicks land equally as strong, her grenades are devastating, very intelligent and good at strategy, deadly at short to medium ranges

---

Weaknesses: On the slow side; lower mobility--armor and grenade kit weighs her down and makes her a bit encumbered (often tries to alleviate this by using her PAK legs to get around faster; can be damaged and destroyed to keep her from being too fast), has problems dodging hits (also attributed to her armor), sensitive to extreme heat and cold, useless at long range (there's only so far she can throw her 'nades)

---

Other Information [Optional]: Hates dogs and birds, tends to hum songs to herself if bored, loves pickles and cookies.
