The Legacy

Little Facts: Being a surgeon, with photographic memory, allows Skyler to know specific places to stab/hit a person. Knowing certain pressure points on the body gives Skyler the advantage to take down a fully grown man. The tattoo on her arm represents 'Disrupted Balance.' Personality: She has an instinct unlike any other; the instinct of a Mother. She's protective over the ones she loves, and is not easily swayed with money or material things. She's very modest about herself, and will let someone else be given a raise or rank up before herself. She is also seasoned by childhood trauma, war and watching many lives shatter in front of her. Skyler is vexed with the love of odd things. Skulls and death do not scare her, but they do somewhat facinate her. She's a skilled surgeon, able to preform a simple appendectimy to a complex open heart surgery. She fancies Parkour, and can fight extremely well. She has a sort of "tick" though. She's either fiddling with her hair, or her knife. She's also sometimes caught biting the inside of her cheeks or lips. She cannot stand still for too long. She learned that from a sniper mission. She was holding the rifle, steady and still, but she continuously tapped her toes against the soles of her boots. The clad uniform hiding her from danger, but she just wanted to get in the action. Basic History: For starters, this woman is an extremely skilled fighter. Having started gymnastics as a little girl (4-14 amd then at age 16), Skyler is not only agile and dextrous, but also graceful when executing her precise killing blows. At ages six to fourteen Skyler was also able to partake in ballet, which drove her to practicing Parkour whilst in and out of school. She had been learning dance while keeping up with perfect scores in all of her classes from grade school to highschool. There was a minor hiccup though, which she recovered from surprisingly well. Skyler was a victim of sexual abuse by Dayne McHale when she was younger. At age 14, she was to be expecting a child, and if she decided to keep it, she would have to leave her foster mother. She couldn't do that, and she was also way too young to try and mother a child. She wanted a normal life. It was a hiccup, but one that could be avoided with an easy closed adoption. The child was hopefully given up to a good family, and was not stuck in the foster system like Skyler was until she was about four.While pregnant, she kept her nose in the books and excelled through high school, but did attend her senior year at age 16. She graduated with honors and was number one in her class. Continuing on to College, she attended Emory Medical College in Atlanta, Georgia. With a buzz already floating around the teaching hospital/college Skyler also sped through her internship and was finished with that at age nineteen. She completed her residency at age twenty-two and decided life as a surgeon stuck in one town, one place, was not going to settle with her too well. She was already offered to join several military branches as their attending medical physician. She had declined until it clicked in her head. She wanted to be a bit more free. To see the world. Not only was she surprised by the experiences she had, but also the disappointment she felt every waking day. She was hindered, for the first six months, to slim to no medical equipment and was forced to make due with what was available. She even disassembled a rifle to use spare metal as a brace for a broken leg, and another time a shattered spine. She preformed open heart surgery in a little shitty tent while under gun-point from a commanding officer. Incidents like that would make some people break under the pressure, but Skyler did not. She was different. However cliche that may seem, it was true. Orphaned at birth, she was tossed into the foster system and cycled through a few homes. At age four she was finally settled and started calling her care-taker "mommy." The woman taking care of Skyler was named Miss Snowden. Through the first eight years of Skyler's life, "Mommy" had different boyfriends. A few were actually nice but, when Miss Snowden turned her back, one man named Dayne McHale would backhand Skyler if she didn't listen to him. But, what child would listen to a man that talked about himself in the third person? Not Skyler, that's for sure. After he was finished hitting her, he would pick her up by her arm and toss her into her room and shut the door, almost at precisely the time Miss Snowden was back from an errand, or work. Skyler had found out that her closet had a hidden door that led to a secret room. These rooms are called Panic rooms, but the one Skyler had was nearly empty other than a simple telephone, a locked file cabnet and a small fridge/freezer with water and icepacks. Skyler would pull the chain on the over head light and sit down in the middle of the floor on her blanket, hugging a pillow. She never cried. She was too strong, or proud, to do that. But, when she was alone, she would just smile and watch all the bruises start to vanish. All the pain would go away. It was her secret, her super power. Age thirty-five, eight months AWOL from leading the Elite Task Force, Skyler had set out on her own to become renown as a Hero. She was sick of being a dog for the military, but hating the American military would never make her want to throw away her tags. It was a memory she would never let die. Alike to the ETF. During high school and College she had picked up on Parkour. Mixed with her history of ballet and gymnastics, she was able to do things that some 'elite' parkour atheletes could not. To further her abilities, she took up a few fighting styles. During College she participated in Karate, and earned her second-degree black belt before she was in her residency. She also took up Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, women's wrestling, and found herself in an underground fight club in Atlanta. She was beating men twice her size in the first round. Sometimes she was called an Angel or Goddess because of the way she moved when she fought. Needless to say, joining the military also brought more knowledge to her plate. She learned about weaponry, and was able to use nearly any weapon placed in her hands. She couldn't make anything, or build anything extravagant, but boy could she use it. --- Skyler was asked to join Dominus, and her payment was Agent Etoile aka Lilia Ivanov. Skyler has to pretend to be a sadomasochist nymphomaniac dominatrix while present in the company of Anget Franklin Salters, as well as any Dominus Agent that does not know Skyler and Lilia's secret. Skyler only joined Dominus' ranks to help Etoile become free and get onto a path so that she may finally live a 'normal' life. Skyler also found out who her real family is. She's a part of the Caster family, and has a younger half brother. She hasn't learned much else, but at least her hunt for her blood line has finally ceased. She may try looking for her long lost kid eventually, but for now, that thought is basically at the back of her mind.

The Powers and Weakness(es)

Powers [E=MC Squared] Skyler's mind retains all information. She is beyond that of a normal genius' level of intelligence. Take the greatest minds that have ever been in the world, quadruple them, and put them all together. She is insanely smart, and as such, is able to make items on the go. Albeit, they're only one-shot machines that serve only mundane purposes; E.G. making a hovering security camera from a few spare parts of a digital camera, a toaster, and a few house magnets. [Enhanced Reflexes] Skyler has very high reflexes. She is so fast when reacting that she is capable of dodging bullets. Her reflexes allow her to do things faster at least eight times or more than the fastest human. [Beyond Average Stamina] Due to Skyler having a very high regenerative factor, she is able to last longer in combat. [Healing Factor] She is able to heal instantaneously all wounds. She is immune to disease, (all human/known disease), most poison, and movement impairing drugs, etc. She is able to recover faster from fatal wounds, and cell regeneration allows her to push on longer than some would assume. Weakness(es) [Love Comes First] Skyler, despite being very intelligent and all kinds of talented, has a very soft spot for Lilia. Anyone could even lie to her and tell her Lilia is in trouble and Skyler will do whatever it takes to ensure Lilia's safety. This can almost always lead to Skyler endangering herself more often than not. [Elements Hurt] Harsh weather conditions like intense cold, or intense heat can slightly hinder Skyler's cellular regeneration. This means she does not have her enhanced reflexes at their full potential when against someone with ice or fire powers. [Only Human] Skyler can still die despite her regeneration. A shot to the head, or multiple unending blows to major organs can make her defenseless. [Stubborn] Skyler is insanely stubborn and thinks that she is right 99% of the time. This leads to her getting way in over her head in most situations, and also being a loner. She has almost zero friends. In fact, she likely does have zero friends. [Electronic Dependent] Skyler depends heavily on electronics and devices for combat, as well as her weapons. Without them, she is left to using her hand to hand combat knowledge, and it is limited to a melting pot of moves that she learned while in the military. She may have high regeneration and enhanced reflexes, but take away her gadgets and she's nothing. RP Mechanics [Tracking] Based on her high intelligence, and ex-military background, Skyler is very skilled with tracking people, and even things, beings, and etc. [Extremely Good Fighter]  Based on her history, she knows how to move. She also knows how to survive with little to nothing at her disposal. [Limited Resurrection] Skyler has the ability to come back to life after she has been killed. Things like this seem bizarre, and first cases are even more weird to her. This is limited to rebirth in the next thread she's in. And is heavily used as an RP mechanic in ties with her regeneration/healing factor. Items/Minions [Her Blade] It's an average military grade knife that was custom made for her and commissioned by her Elite Task Force buddies. Skyler had a knack for CQC (close-quarters combat) and was almost always in need of a but of help when it came to that. She also had a thing ballistic knives, so the blade was created to not only launch her blade, but also a concealed hyperdermic needle that slid snug into the hollow of the main blade. There are two separate buttons to launch the knife, or release it's spring loader, as well as launch the needle. The needles are disposable, and are untraceable. Her blade, however, has a distinct curved pattern to the blade, and also a serrated edge. It's tip is pointed for easy entry into bodies when used as a ballistic knife. Weakness: The poison can only be used on mundane humans, and is mainly an RP mechanic. This whole item is mainly an RP mechanic. [Brotherguard Higpoly Revolver] Abilities: This gun has two barrels that fire simultaneously, as well as an attached laser sight that is solar powered. The laser sight is green in color, and it has a 1 Hour limitation of power to be used in the dark. There is also a blade attached if Doctor Karma is ever in a Close Quarters Combat situation. There is an attachable scope, as well as elongated barrel, and silencer for both the regular gun, or extended barrel. Of course, all items are not as quickly put onto the fire arm, but Skyler's intensive weaponry knowledge cuts assemble time in half. Weakness: The gun is more than capable of being taken from her in combat. The gun also has a tendency of backfiring when overused. The ammunition takes time to load, and despite her super human reflexes, she must calculate each and every decision she makes while using this weapon. The laser sight has a limited battery, and without it, can prove hitting her target harder from a distance. Description: Click me! [Discreet Ammunition Deployers: D.A.D. Some refer to this type of ammunition as Daddy's Favorite] Abilities: While small, and disc shaped when being loaded into the gun, the small disc ammunition - when it is being refilled into the chamber (The Higpoly has a specialized ammunition feeder into the revolving chamber) - will expand and solidify into a full sized bullet. The ammunition in it's self is a type of armor piercing round that is capable of harming metahumans with tough skin. Weakness: This is an ammunition that can be carried in high quantities, but react to strong magnets. The metals making up the ammunition react to the magnetic pulse inside of the Higpoly chamber, causing the bullet to expand from the small dist shape. If a strong enough magnetic field is near Skyler, it can force all of the small disc shape ammunition, that weighs virtually nothing, expand. Causing 1 clip of the ammo to expand would turn upwards of 500 specialized bullets into their full size, and that would weigh almost eighty pounds. It would be impossible for Skyler to carry them with her. Description: The ammunition is in a collapsed, small disc like form that gives the gun the capability of holding this ammunition in very high quantities. The Higpoly for example, are one of those guns. [Nano Tech Armor Enhancements: N.T.A.E. Some refer to this type of armor as NATE Armor.] Abilities: The armor is made up of nanomites that focus together seconds before impact upon the armor, or boots, that Doctor Karma wears, thus making her body less weary after having to block several blows. In short, this item will increase her physical durabiltiy while being worn. Weakness: If they are taken off of her, the increase is nonexistent. Anyone, in fact, that wears her armor will be eligible for the physical durability increase. So, she tries her best to never lose hold of her boots, corset, thigh guard, or arm guards. The armor is held by leather straps that can be easily cut or shot off of her. The armor only blocks against blunt force. Bullets and any form of ability based attack will destroy the armor. Description: Working for Dominus has it's perks, and that means better equipment and better armor. Skyler was given the opportunity to turn her battle corset, boots, thigh guard and arm guards into something tougher. They give her added durability and help reduce the shock her body undergoes with blocking attacks. Dominus allowed Doctor Karma to create these items using their facilities. [ESPER Gloves (Electricity Storing and Projecting Energy Reserves)] Abilities: Formulates a shock (Each punch makes the shock weaken, each punch making the shock less and less to eventually nothing.) with each punch when activated. Weakness: Water is highly effective against these gloves in high quantities, as well as extreme heat. Description: These gloves take the friction of the wearer and store it within the cellular chambers and project the energy as electric bursts. The electricity is dangerous, and concentrated. They appear to be common looking finger-less gloves. [AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Assistant) Extension] Abilities: The AIVA (Ay-vuh) extension of the ESPER gloves house a direct link to an AI named "Aiva" who assists Skyler. It will project a holographic image of AIVA in Skyler's palm, or as a life size version of herself. Her voice is projected from the small speakers within the gloves. Weakness: As this is a piece of equipment, it can be easily damaged by mundane things: fire, water, EMPs, etc. Description: The Glove: Aiva's Attire: AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Assistant) Abilities: Aiva is, for all purposes, Skyler's assistant when she needs GPS, access to the internet, or help hacking into certain complexes. Aiva is a very wonderful help, and will stand in Skyler's hand, or talk into the ear piece Skyler wears at almost all times. Aiva is also set up around of Skyler's house now, and works as a security system to help ward off evils that come after Lilia. Weakness: Aiva can be hacked, but by only someone as smart or smarter than Dr. Karma. Aiva's code is living, and therefore she is forever growing and changing and adapting. If anyone can learn the strand of code before Aiva "ages" then there is a possibility that she can be hacked. Aiva can also be blocked by certain firewalls and can even become ill by virtual virus. The AI is useless if Skyler has no access to her ESPER Gloves, or some kind of laptop or cell phone. Description: This AI is modeled after Lilia and Skyler. Looks almost like Lilia, but has Skyler's long flowing hair and attitude. The girl wears a suit that is stark white. (See image above). [AIVA Bracelet] Abilities: These bracelet's are beautiful. But, despite their beauty, they are very high tech. Both of the bracelet's were once 3-500$ trinkets, but Skyler tweaked them  and installed a microchip. The chip is well hidden, and keeps a GPS tracking on Lilia and Skyler. The two bracelets have AIVA's intelligence within them to keep the two women connected even if they are far, far away from each other. Weakness: EMPs or large quantities of water could destroy the microchip inside the bracelet. The bracelet's are also useless if Skyler has no access to Aiva. Description:Lilia's Skyler's
